CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains historical information, as well as forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and relate to, among other things, future events, changes to Medicare reimbursement and other healthcare regulations from time to time, our business strategy, our financial plans, our future financial performance, our projected business results, or our projected capital expenditures. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “targets,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Any forward-looking statement is based on information current as of the date of this report and speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Actual events or results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by us include, but are not limited to, the following:

• each of the factors discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the "2011 Form 10-K");

• uncertainties and factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, in our other filings from time to time with the SEC, or in materials incorporated therein by reference;

• changes in the regulations of the healthcare industry at either or both of the federal and state levels, including those contemplated now and in the future as part of national healthcare reform and deficit reduction, and related increases in the costs of complying with such changes;

• reductions or delays in, or suspension of, reimbursement for our services by governmental or private payors, including our ability to obtain and retain favorable arrangements with third-party payors;

• increased costs of regulatory compliance and compliance monitoring in the healthcare industry, including the costs of investigating and defending asserted claims, whether meritorious or not;

• our ability to attract and retain nurses, therapists, and other healthcare professionals in a highly competitive environment with often severe staffing shortages and the impact on our labor expenses from potential union activity and staffing recruitment and retention;

• competitive pressures in the healthcare industry and our response to those pressures;

• our ability to successfully complete and integrate de novo developments, acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures consistent with our growth strategy, including realization of anticipated revenues, cost savings, and productivity improvements arising from the related operations;

• any adverse outcome of various lawsuits, claims, and legal or regulatory proceedings involving us;

• increased costs of defending and insuring against alleged professional liability and other claims and the ability to predict the costs related to such claims;

• potential disruptions or incidents affecting the proper operation, availability, or security of our information systems;

• the price of our common stock as it affects our willingness and ability to repurchase shares under the program discussed further in Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, "Executive Overview," of this Form 10-Q;

• our ability to attract and retain key management personnel; and

• general conditions in the economy and capital markets.

The cautionary statements referred to in this section also should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that may be issued by us or persons acting on our behalf. We undertake no duty to update these forward-looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

HealthSouth Corporation, incorporated in Delaware in 1984, including its subsidiaries, is the largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the United States. We operate inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and provide specialized rehabilitative treatment on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. References herein to “HealthSouth,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to HealthSouth Corporation and its subsidiaries unless otherwise stated or indicated by context.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HealthSouth Corporation and Subsidiaries should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in HealthSouth’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 23, 2012 (the “2011 Form 10-K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been omitted in these interim statements, as allowed by such SEC rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 has been derived from audited financial statements, but it does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods shown in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements recognize all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for each interim period presented.

Reclassifications—

Effective January 1, 2012, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2011-07, Healthcare Entities (Topic 954), "Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Healthcare Entities," which requires certain healthcare entities to present the provision for doubtful accounts relating to patient service revenue as a deduction from patient service revenue in the statement of operations rather than as an operating expense. All periods presented have been reclassified to conform to this presentation. Our adoption of this standard had no net impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

This standard also requires healthcare entities to provide enhanced disclosure about their policies for recognizing revenue and assessing bad debts, as well as qualitative and quantitative information about changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts. See the "Net Operating Revenues" and "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" sections of this note.

During the third quarter of 2012, we negotiated with our partner to amend the joint venture agreement related to St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital which resulted in a change in accounting for this hospital from the equity method of accounting to a consolidated entity. The amendment revised certain participatory rights held by our joint venture partner resulting in HealthSouth gaining control of this entity from an accounting perspective. See Note 2, Investments in and Advances to Nonconsolidated Affiliates.

Net Operating Revenues—

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we derived consolidated Net operating revenues from the following payor sources:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Medicare	73.1	%	72.0	%	73.1	%	71.8	%
Medicaid	1.4	%	1.6	%	1.3	%	1.7	%
Workers’ compensation	1.5	%	1.6	%	1.5	%	1.7	%
Managed care and other discount plans	19.1	%	20.0	%	19.4	%	19.8	%
Other third-party payors	2.0	%	1.9	%	1.8	%	2.0	%
Patients	1.4	%	1.3	%	1.4	%	1.2	%
Other income	1.5	%	1.6	%	1.5	%	1.8	%
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

We recognize net patient service revenues in the reporting period in which we perform the service based on our current billing rates (i.e., gross charges), less actual adjustments and estimated discounts for contractual allowances (principally for patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and managed care and other health plans). We record gross service charges in our accounting records on an accrual basis using our established rates for the type of service provided to the patient. We recognize an estimated contractual allowance to reduce gross patient charges to the amount we estimate we will actually realize for the service rendered based upon previously agreed to rates with a payor. Our patient accounting system calculates contractual allowances on a patient-by-patient basis based on the rates in effect for each primary third-party payor. Other factors that are considered and could further influence the level of our reserves include the patient’s total length of stay for in-house patients, each patient’s discharge destination, the proportion of patients with secondary insurance coverage and the level of reimbursement under that secondary coverage, and the amount of charges that will be disallowed by payors. Such additional factors are assumed to remain consistent with the experience for patients discharged in similar time periods for the same payor classes, and additional reserves are provided to account for these factors. Payors include federal and state agencies, including Medicare and Medicaid, managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, employers, and patients.

Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms that result from contract renegotiations and renewals. Due to complexities involved in determining amounts ultimately due under reimbursement arrangements with third-party payors, which are often subject to interpretation, we may receive reimbursement for healthcare services authorized and provided that is different from our estimates, and such differences could be material. In addition, laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex, subject to interpretation, and are routinely modified for provider reimbursement. All healthcare providers participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs are required to meet certain financial reporting requirements. Federal regulations require submission of annual cost reports covering medical costs and expenses associated with the services provided by each hospital to program beneficiaries. Annual cost reports required under the Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to routine audits, which may result in adjustments to the amounts ultimately determined to be due to HealthSouth under these reimbursement programs. These audits often require several years to reach the final determination of amounts earned under the programs. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments, we may be exposed to gains or losses that could be material.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") has been granted authority to suspend payments, in whole or in part, to Medicare providers if CMS possesses reliable information an overpayment, fraud, or willful misrepresentation exists. If CMS suspects payments are being made as the result of fraud or misrepresentation, CMS may suspend payment at any time without providing prior notice to us. The initial suspension period is limited to 180 days. However, the payment suspension period can be extended almost indefinitely if the matter is under investigation by the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (the "HHS-OIG") or the United States Department of Justice. Therefore, we are unable to predict if or when we may be subject to a suspension of payments by the Medicare and/or Medicaid

programs, the possible length of the suspension period, or the potential cash flow impact of a payment suspension. Any such suspension would adversely impact our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—

We provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible by establishing an allowance to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made by means of the Provision for doubtful accounts. We write off uncollectible accounts (after exhausting collection efforts) against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Subsequent recoveries are recorded via the Provision for doubtful accounts.

The collection of outstanding receivables from Medicare, managed care payors, other third-party payors, and patients is our primary source of cash and is critical to our operating performance. While it is our policy to verify insurance prior to a patient being admitted, there are various exceptions that can occur. Such exceptions include instances where we are (1) unable to obtain verification because the patient's insurance company was unable to be reached or contacted, (2) a determination is made that a patient may be eligible for benefits under various government programs, such as Medicaid, and it takes several days, weeks, or months before qualification for such benefits is confirmed or denied, and (3) the patient is transferred to our hospital from an acute care hospital without having access to a credit card, cash, or check to pay the applicable patient responsibility amounts (i.e., deductibles and co-payments). Based on our historical collection trends, our primary collection risks relate to patient accounts for which the patient was the primary payor or the primary insurance carrier has paid the amounts covered by the applicable agreement, but patient responsibility amounts remain outstanding. Changes in the economy, such as increased unemployment rates or periods of recession, can further exacerbate our ability to collect patient responsibility amounts.

We estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of our accounts receivable, our historical collection experience for each type of payor, and other relevant factors so that the remaining receivables, net of allowances, are reflected at their estimated net realizable values. Accounts requiring collection efforts are reviewed via system-generated work queues that automatically stage (based on age and size of outstanding balance) accounts requiring collection efforts for patient account representatives. Collection efforts include contacting the applicable party (both in writing and by telephone), providing information (both financial and clinical) to allow for payment or to overturn payor decisions to deny payment, and arranging payment plans with self-pay patients, among other techniques. When we determine all in-house efforts have been exhausted or it is a more prudent use of resources, accounts may be turned over to a collection agency. Accounts are written off after all collection efforts (internal and external) have been exhausted.

We have experienced denials of certain diagnosis codes by Medicare contractors based on medical necessity. We dispute, or "appeal," most of these denials, and we have historically collected approximately 58% of all amounts denied. The resolution of these disputes can take in excess of one year, and we cannot provide assurance as to our ongoing and future success of these disputes. As such, we make provisions against these receivables in accordance with our accounting policy that necessarily considers the age and historical collection trends of the receivables in this review process as part of our Provision for doubtful accounts. Because we do not write-off receivables until all collection efforts have been exhausted, we do not write-off receivables related to denied claims while they are in this review process. When the amount collected related to denied claims differs from the net amount previously recorded, these collection differences are recorded in the Provision for doubtful accounts. As a result, the timing of these denials by Medicare contractors and their subsequent collection can create volatility in our Provision for doubtful accounts.

If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments, we may be exposed to gains or losses that could be material. Changes in general economic conditions, business office operations, payor mix, or trends in federal or state governmental and private employer healthcare coverage could affect our collection of accounts receivable, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Share-Based Payments—

In February and May 2012, we issued 0.9 million and 0.2 million, respectively, of restricted stock awards to members of our management team and our board of directors. Approximately 0.6 million of these awards contain only a service condition, while the remainder contain both a service and a performance condition. For the awards that include a performance condition, the number of shares that will ultimately be granted to employees may vary based on the Company’s performance

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

during the applicable two-year performance measurement period. Additionally, in February 2012, we granted 0.2 million stock options to members of our management team. The fair value of these awards and options was determined using the policies described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 16, Share-Based Payments, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

We use the with-and-without method to determine when we will recognize excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. Under this method, we recognize these excess tax benefits only after we fully realize the tax benefits of net operating losses. See Note 7, Income Taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended its guidance to clarify its intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The primary impact to us resulted from additional disclosure requirements included in the amended guidance, including the requirements to categorize by level of the fair value hierarchy items not measured at fair value in our balance sheet but for which fair value is required to be disclosed. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2012. Our adoption of this standard primarily impacted our fair value disclosures related to our long-term debt and had no impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 6, Fair Value Measurements.

See also the "Reclassifications" section of this note.

Since the filing of the 2011 Form 10-K, we do not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

2. Investments in and Advances to Nonconsolidated Affiliates

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $20.9 million and $29.0 million, respectively, of investments in and advances to nonconsolidated affiliates included in Other long-term assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investments in and advances to nonconsolidated affiliates represent our investments in 13 partially owned subsidiaries, of which 9 are general or limited partnerships, limited liability companies, or joint ventures in which HealthSouth or one of its subsidiaries is a general or limited partner, managing member, member, or venturer, as applicable. We do not control these affiliates but have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of certain of these affiliates. Our ownership percentages in these affiliates range from approximately 1% to 51%. We account for these investments using the cost and equity methods of accounting.

The following summarizes the combined results of operations of our equity method affiliates (on a 100% basis, in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Net operating revenues	$	18.6		$	22.4		$	64.2		$	64.0
Operating expenses	(9.6		)	(13.3		)	(37.5		)	(39.1		)
Income from continuing operations, net of tax	7.1			7.0			21.5			19.6
Net income	7.1			7.0			21.5			19.6

During the third quarter of 2012, we negotiated with our partner to amend the joint venture agreement related to St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital which resulted in a change in accounting for this hospital from the equity method of accounting to a consolidated entity. The amendment revised certain participatory rights held by our joint venture partner resulting in HealthSouth gaining control of this entity from an accounting perspective. In accordance with the applicable guidance, we accounted for this change in control as a business combination and consolidated this entity using the acquisition method. The consolidation of St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. As a result of our consolidation of this hospital and the remeasurement of our previously held equity

interest at fair value, goodwill increased by $15.6 million and we recorded a $4.9 million gain as part of Other income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

3. Long-term Debt

Our long-term debt outstanding consists of the following (in millions):

	September 30, 2012			December 31, 2011

Total	$	1,322.4	$	1,321.9

On August 10, 2012, we amended and restated our existing credit agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”). The following is a summary of the material provisions that changed as a result of this amendment and restatement:

• It increased the maximum capacity under the senior secured revolving credit facility from $500 million to $600 million;

• It reduced by 50 basis points each of the various applicable interest rates for any outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility, depending on the leverage ratio (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement), during a given interest rate period;

• It repaid and eliminated the existing $95 million term loan by drawing under the revolving credit facility;

11

HealthSouth Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

• It amended the existing $200 million accordion feature to permit future increases in revolving borrowing capacity or new term loans, or both, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $300 million;

• It permitted secured borrowings by nonguarantor subsidiaries outside the 2012 Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million;

• It permitted, in addition to the existing specified types of permitted restricted payments, restricted payments for the repurchase of the Company's 6.50% series A convertible perpetual preferred stock so long as there is no default or event of default and the leverage ratio is no greater than 3:1 after giving pro forma effect to each repurchase;

• It permitted capital expenditures of $300 million in each of fiscal years 2012 and 2013 and $250 million in each fiscal year thereafter, which amounts are subject to increase based on any unused amount from the prior fiscal year, plus (a) an aggregate cumulative amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement), and (b) certain other amounts including net cash proceeds from certain equity issuances; and

• It extended the maturity date for the revolving credit facility from May 2016 to August 2017.

All other material terms of the existing credit agreement remained the same and are described in more detail in Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K. After closing on August 10, 2012, $195 million were drawn on the revolving credit facility, and $41.4 million were drawn on the $260 million letter of credit subfacility. As a result of this amendment, we recorded a $1.3 millionLoss on early extinguishment of debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

On September 11, 2012, we completed a public offering of $275 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2024 at a public offering price of 100% of the principal amount. Net proceeds from this offering were approximately $270 million. We used $195 million of the net proceeds to repay the amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Additionally, on October 9, 2012, $64.5 million of the net proceeds were used to redeem $33.5 million of the outstanding principal amount of our existing 7.25% Senior Notes due 2018 and $31.0 million of the outstanding principal amount of our existing 7.75% Senior Notes due 2022. The notes were redeemed at a price of 103%, which resulted in an additional cash outlay of $1.9 million from the net proceeds. As a result of this redemption, we expect to record an approximate $2.7 millionLoss on early extinguishment of debt in the fourth quarter of 2012. The balance of the net proceeds of this offering were used for general corporate purposes.

For additional information regarding our indebtedness, see Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

4. Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock

The following is a summary of the activity related to our Convertible perpetual preferred stock from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012 (in millions, except share data):

	Number of Shares Outstanding		Amount
Balance as of December 31, 2011	400,000		$	387.4
Repurchase of preferred stock	(46,645	)	(45.2		)
Balance as of September 30, 2012	353,355		$	342.2

12

HealthSouth Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we repurchased 46,645 shares of our 6.50% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock for total cash consideration of $46.5 million, including fees. No common stock was issued as part of these transactions. The allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in millions):

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2012
Carrying value of shares repurchased	$	45.2
Cumulative dividends paid as part of purchase price	0.5
Excess paid in transaction	0.8
	$	46.5

The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid to the holders of the preferred stock, or $46.5 million, and the carrying value of the preferred stock in our balance sheet, or $45.2 million, resulted in a charge of $1.3 million to Capital in excess of par value that was treated like a dividend and subtracted from Net income to arrive at Net income attributable to HealthSouth common shareholders in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Of this amount, $0.5 million represents cumulative dividends through the date of the repurchase transactions.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, accrued dividends of $5.7 million and $6.5 million, respectively, were included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These accrued dividends were paid in October 2012 and January 2012, respectively.

See Note 11, Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, to the financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

5. Guarantees

Primarily in conjunction with the sale of certain facilities, including the sale of our surgery centers, outpatient, and diagnostic divisions during 2007, HealthSouth assigned, or remained as a guarantor on, the leases of certain properties to certain purchasers and, as a condition of the lease, agreed to act as a guarantor of the purchaser’s performance on the lease. Should the purchaser fail to pay the obligations due on these leases, the lessor would have contractual recourse against us.

As of September 30, 2012, we were secondarily liable for 11 such guarantees. The remaining terms of these guarantees ranged from one month to 54 months. If we were required to perform under all such guarantees, the maximum amount we would be required to pay approximated $11.1 million.

We have not recorded a liability for these guarantees, as we do not believe it is probable we will have to perform under these agreements. If we are required to perform under these guarantees, we could potentially have recourse against the purchaser for recovery of any amounts paid. In addition, the purchasers of our surgery centers, outpatient, and diagnostic divisions have agreed to seek releases from the lessors in favor of HealthSouth with respect to the guarantee obligations associated with these divestitures. To the extent the purchasers of these divisions are unable to obtain releases for HealthSouth, the purchasers remain obligated under the terms of the applicable purchase agreements to indemnify HealthSouth for damages incurred under the guarantee obligations, if any. These guarantees are not secured by any assets under the agreements.

6. Fair Value Measurements

Our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in millions):

			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
As of September 30, 2012	Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Valuation Technique (1)
Other current assets:
Current portion of restricted marketable securities	$	22.7	$	—	$	22.7	$	—	M
Other long-term assets:
Restricted marketable securities	33.0		—		33.0		—		M
As of December 31, 2011
Other current assets:
Current portion of restricted marketable securities	$	15.0	$	—	$	15.0	$	—	M
Other long-term assets:
Restricted marketable securities	30.2		—		30.2		—		M

(1)The three valuation techniques are: market approach (M), cost approach (C), and income approach (I).

In addition to assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, we are also required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges or similar adjustments made to the carrying value of the applicable assets.

As a result of our consolidation of St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital and the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest at fair value, we recorded a $4.9 million gain as part of Other income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. We determined the fair value of our previously held equity interest using valuation techniques that included the income approach and a third-party appraisal. The income approach included the use of the hospital's projected operating results and cash flows discounted using a rate that reflects market participant assumptions for the hospital. The projected operating results use management's best estimates of economic and market conditions over the forecasted period including assumptions for pricing and volume, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we did not record a gain or loss related to our nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis as part of our continuing operations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded impairment charges of $4.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively, as part of our results of discontinued operations. These charges related to a hospital that was closed in 2011 and one that was closed in 2008. We determined the fair value of the impaired long-lived assets at the hospitals based on the assets’ estimated fair value using valuation techniques that included third-party appraisals and offers from potential buyers.

As discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K, the carrying value equals fair value for our financial instruments that are not included in the table below and are classified as current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values for all of our other financial instruments are presented in the following table (in millions):

	As of September 30, 2012				As of December 31, 2011

See also Note 3, Long-term Debt.

Fair values for our long-term debt and financial commitments are determined using inputs, including quoted prices in nonactive markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly, or Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, "Fair Value Measurements," to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

7. Income Taxes

Our Provision for income tax expense of $28.1 million and $84.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 included the following: (1) estimated income tax expense of approximately $30 million and $86 million, respectively, based on the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate of approximately 39% to our pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth offset by (2) an approximate $1 million reduction in our valuation allowance associated with certain capital loss carryforwards, as discussed below, and (3) an approximate $1 million reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements with taxing authorities and the lapse of applicable statutes of limitation for certain state matters.

We have significant federal and state net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") that expire in various amounts at varying times through 2031. Our utilization of our federal NOL could be subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”) and may be limited in the event of certain cumulative changes in ownership interests of significant stockholders over a three-year period in excess of 50%. Section 382 imposes an annual limitation on the use of these losses to an amount equal to the value of a company at the time of an ownership change multiplied by the long-term tax exempt rate. At this time, we do not believe these limitations will restrict our ability to use our federal NOL before it expires. However, no such assurances can be provided.

The $553.1 million of net deferred tax assets included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 ($26.6 million included in Other current assets) reflects management’s assessment it is more likely than not we will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize those deferred tax assets based on our current estimates and assumptions. As of September 30, 2012, we maintained a valuation allowance of $49.1 million due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize a portion of our deferred tax assets, primarily related to state NOLs, before they expire. During the third quarter of 2012, we reduced our valuation allowance associated with certain capital loss carryforwards

15

HealthSouth Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

by $1 million primarily as a result of capital gains generated by legal entity restructuring activities at one of our subsidiaries. The amount of the valuation allowance has been determined for each tax jurisdiction based on the weight of all available evidence including management’s estimates of taxable income for each jurisdiction in which we operate over the periods in which the related deferred tax assets will be recoverable. It is possible we may be required to increase or decrease our valuation allowance at some future time if our forecast of future earnings varies from actual results on a consolidated basis or in the applicable state tax jurisdictions, or if the timing of future tax deductions differs from our expectations.

Our NOLs exclude approximately $8.3 million related to operating loss carryforwards resulting from excess tax benefits related to share-based awards, the tax benefits of which, when recognized, will be accounted for as a credit to Capital in excess of par value in the period they reduce taxes payable.

Our Provision for income tax expense of $18.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included the following: (1) estimated income tax expense of approximately $16 million based on the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate of approximately 40% to our pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth and (2) approximately $4 million of estimated income tax expense primarily associated with federal income tax on state income tax refunds received offset by (3) approximately $2 million of income tax benefit associated with a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements with state taxing authorities and the corresponding receipt of interest income on these refunds.

Our Provision for income tax expense of $21.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included the following: (1) estimated income tax expense of approximately $50 million based on the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate of approximately 40% to our pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth and (2) approximately $4 million of estimated income tax expense primarily associated with federal income tax on state income tax refunds received offset by (3) the settlement of federal income tax claims with the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 2007 and 2008 which resulted in an income tax benefit of approximately $24 million and (4) other items, primarily related to a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations for certain federal and state claims, which resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $8 million.

We recognize the financial statement effects of uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, a position will be sustained upon examination by and resolution with the taxing authorities. Total remaining gross unrecognized tax benefits were $79.0 million and $6.0 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, all of which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. The amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits changed during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily based on ongoing discussions with taxing authorities as part of our continued pursuit of the maximization of our tax benefits, primarily related to our federal NOL, as discussed below. In October 2012, we submitted additional net positive claims to the IRS. Because these claims were determined and submitted to the IRS after the balance sheet date, they are not included in the gross unrecognized income tax benefits reconciliation presented below.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions):

	Gross Unrecognized Income Tax Benefits			Accrued Interest and Penalties
Balance at December 31, 2011	$	6.0		$	0.1
Gross amount of increases in unrecognized tax benefits related to prior periods	74.1			—
Decreases in unrecognized tax benefits relating to settlements with taxing authorities	(0.7		)	—
Reductions to unrecognized tax benefits as a result of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations	(0.4		)	(0.1		)
Balance at September 30, 2012	$	79.0		$	—

16

HealthSouth Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Our continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Net interest income recorded as part of our income tax provision during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was not material. Accrued interest income related to income taxes as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was not material.

HealthSouth and its subsidiaries’ federal and state income tax returns are periodically examined by various regulatory taxing authorities. In connection with such examinations, we have settled federal income tax examinations with the IRS for all tax years through 2008. We are currently under audit by the IRS for the 2009 and 2010 tax years and by one state for tax years 2007 and 2008.

For the tax years that remain open under the applicable statutes of limitations, amounts related to unrecognized tax benefits have been considered by management in its estimate of our potential net recovery of prior years’ income taxes. However, at this time, we cannot estimate a range of the reasonably possible change that may occur.

In addition, we continue to actively pursue, through ongoing discussions with taxing authorities, the maximization of our income tax benefits, primarily related to our federal NOL. As part of our pursuit of these benefits, we requested a pre-filing agreement with the IRS, the primary purpose of which was to consider whether certain amounts related to the restatement of our financial statements for periods prior to 2003 result in net increases to our federal NOL and adjustments to other tax attributes. The pre-filing agreement program permits taxpayers to resolve certain tax issues in advance of filing their corporate income tax returns. Due to the unique nature of our claims and uncertainties around this process, we did not recognize any amounts associated with our request as of September 30, 2012. In July 2012, the IRS granted our request to utilize the pre-filing agreement process. Depending upon the process undertaken by the IRS to audit and settle these matters, the accounting recognition criteria for these positions could be met either in part or in total as the process continues or upon completion of the process. Therefore, as we continue this process with the IRS, it is reasonably possible that over the next twelve-month period we may experience an increase or decrease to our unrecognized tax benefits, our NOLs, other tax attributes, or any combination thereof that could have a material net favorable impact on income tax expense and our effective income tax rate. Due to the aforementioned uncertainties regarding the outcome of this process, it is not possible to determine the range of any impact at this time.

8. Earnings per Common Share

The calculation of earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding during the applicable period. The calculation for diluted earnings per common share recognizes the effect of all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the respective periods, unless their impact would be antidilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (in millions, except per share amounts):

Diluted earnings per share report the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. These potential shares include dilutive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and convertible perpetual preferred stock. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the number of potential shares approximated 13.4 million and 13.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the number of potential shares approximated 15.9 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 11.6 million and 12.2 million of the potential shares, respectively, related to our Convertible perpetual preferred stock. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, approximately 13.1 million of the potential shares related to our Convertible perpetual preferred stock. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts are the same due to rounding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, adding back the dividends for the Convertible perpetual preferred stock to our Income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth common shareholders causes a per share increase when calculating diluted earnings per common share resulting in an anti-dilutive per share amount. Therefore, basic and diluted earnings per common share are the same for all periods presented.

Options to purchase approximately 1.8 million and 1.1 million shares of common stock were outstanding as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted-average shares because to do so would have been antidilutive.

9. Contingencies

We operate in a highly regulated and litigious industry. As a result, various lawsuits, claims, and legal and regulatory proceedings have been and can be expected to be instituted or asserted against us. The resolution of any such lawsuits, claims, or legal and regulatory proceedings could materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in a given period.

Derivative Litigation—

All lawsuits purporting to be derivative complaints filed in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama since 2002 have been consolidated and stayed in favor of the first-filed action captioned Tucker v. Scrushy and filed August 28, 2002. Derivative lawsuits in other jurisdictions have been stayed. The Tucker complaint asserted claims on our behalf against, among others, a number of our former officers and directors and Ernst & Young LLP, our former auditor. When originally filed, the primary allegations in the Tucker case involved self-dealing by Richard M. Scrushy, our former chairman and chief executive officer, and other insiders through transactions with various entities allegedly controlled by Mr. Scrushy. The complaint was amended four times to add additional defendants and include claims of accounting fraud, improper Medicare billing practices, and additional self-dealing transactions. The Tucker derivative litigation, including a $2.9 billion judgment against Mr. Scrushy, and the related settlements to date are more fully described in “Litigation Against Richard M. Scrushy” and “Litigation By and Against Former Independent Auditor” below and in Note 21, Settlements, “UBS Litigation Settlement,” and Note 22, Contingencies and Other Commitments, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

Litigation Against Richard M. Scrushy—

On June 18, 2009, the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama ruled in the Tucker case on our derivative claims against Mr. Scrushy presented during a nonjury trial held May 11 to May 26, 2009. The court held Mr. Scrushy responsible for fraud and breach of fiduciary duties and awarded us $2.9 billion in damages. On July 24, 2009, Mr. Scrushy filed a notice of appeal of the trial court’s decision, and the parties subsequently submitted their briefs to the Supreme Court of Alabama. On January 28, 2011, the Supreme Court upheld the trial court’s decision in its entirety. On April 15, 2011, the Alabama Supreme Court denied Mr. Scrushy's application for a rehearing of its initial decision.

We will pursue collection aggressively and to the fullest extent permitted by law. We, in coordination with derivative plaintiffs' counsel, are attempting to locate, in order to collect the judgment, Mr. Scrushy's current assets and other assets we believe were improperly disposed. Part of this effort is a fraudulent transfer complaint filed on July 2, 2009 against Mr. Scrushy and a number of related entities by derivative plaintiffs for the benefit of HealthSouth in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, captioned Tucker v. Scrushy et al. While these collection efforts continue, some of Mr. Scrushy’s assets have been seized and sold at auction pursuant to the state law procedure for collection of a judgment. Other assets will likewise be sold from time to time. On May 3, 2011, the Circuit Court of Jefferson County entered an order for distribution of amounts collected and liquidated. After reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by HealthSouth and the attorneys for the derivative shareholder plaintiffs for property maintenance of and fees incurred to locate Mr. Scrushy's assets and after recording a liability for the federal plaintiffs' 25% apportionment of any net recovery from Mr. Scrushy as required in our consolidated securities action settlement, we recorded a $12.3 million net gain in Government, class action, and related settlements in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 in connection with our receipt of cash distributions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a $3.5 million net gain in Government, class action, and related settlements in our consolidated statement of operations in connection with our receipt of additional cash distributions.

For further discussion of our consolidated securities action settlement that previously resolved claims brought against us by former stockholders and bondholders, see Note 21, Settlements, "Securities Litigation Settlement" to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K. We are obligated to pay 35% of any recovery from Mr. Scrushy along with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses to the attorneys for the derivative shareholder plaintiffs. In connection with those obligations, during 2011, $5.2 million of the amounts previously collected were distributed to attorneys for the derivative

shareholder plaintiffs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, an additional $1.4 million of the amounts collected were distributed to attorneys for the derivative shareholder plaintiffs. We recorded these cash distributions as part of Professional fees—accounting, tax, and legal in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Litigation By and Against Former Independent Auditor—

In March 2003, claims on behalf of HealthSouth were brought in the Tucker derivative litigation against Ernst & Young, alleging that from 1996 through 2002, when Ernst & Young served as our independent auditor, Ernst & Young acted recklessly and with gross negligence in performing its duties, and specifically that Ernst & Young failed to perform reviews and audits of our financial statements with due professional care as required by law and by its contractual agreements with us. The claims further allege Ernst & Young either knew of or, in the exercise of due care, should have discovered and investigated the fraudulent and improper accounting practices being directed by certain officers and employees, and should have reported them to our board of directors and the audit committee. The claims seek compensatory and punitive damages, disgorgement of fees received from us by Ernst & Young, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On March 18, 2005, Ernst & Young filed a lawsuit captioned Ernst & Young LLP v. HealthSouth Corp. in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama. The complaint alleges we provided Ernst & Young with fraudulent management representation letters, financial statements, invoices, bank reconciliations, and journal entries in an effort to conceal accounting fraud. Ernst & Young claims that as a result of our actions, Ernst & Young’s reputation has been injured and it has and will incur damages, expenses, and legal fees. On April 1, 2005, we answered Ernst & Young’s claims and asserted counterclaims related or identical to those asserted in the Tucker action. Upon Ernst & Young’s motion, the Alabama state court referred Ernst & Young’s claims and our counterclaims to arbitration pursuant to a clause in the engagement agreements between HealthSouth and Ernst & Young. On July 12, 2006, we and the derivative plaintiffs filed an arbitration demand on behalf of HealthSouth against Ernst & Young. On August 7, 2006, Ernst & Young filed an answering statement and counterclaim in the arbitration reasserting the claims made in state court. In August 2006, we and the derivative plaintiffs agreed to jointly prosecute the claims against Ernst & Young in arbitration.

We are vigorously pursuing our claims against Ernst & Young and defending the claims against us. The three-person arbitration panel that is adjudicating the claims and counterclaims in arbitration was selected under rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). The trial phase of the arbitration process began on July 12, 2010 and is currently stayed. We requested that the panel review and consider the ongoing proceedings in another case, In re State of Alabama Department of Revenue v. HealthSouth Corporation, et al., which the Supreme Court of Alabama agreed on August 17, 2012 to hear on appeal. The In re Alabama case is itself unrelated to the Ernst & Young arbitration but does involve an issue of Alabama law that is in dispute in the arbitration. The issue is whether, under Alabama law, the wrongdoing of disloyal employees can or should be imputed to the employer. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments on November 7, 2012.

However, pursuant to an order of the AAA panel, all aspects of the arbitration are confidential. Accordingly, we will not discuss the details of the arbitration until there is a resolution. Based on the stage of arbitration, and review of the current facts and circumstances, we do not believe there is a reasonable possibility of a loss that might result from an adverse judgment or a settlement of this case.

General Medicine Action—

On August 16, 2004, General Medicine, P.C. filed a lawsuit against us captioned General Medicine, P.C. v. HealthSouth Corp. seeking the recovery of allegedly fraudulent transfers involving assets of Horizon/CMS Healthcare Corporation, a former subsidiary of HealthSouth. The lawsuit is pending in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama (the “Alabama Action”).

General Medicine's underlying claim against Horizon/CMS originates from a services contract entered into in 1995 between General Medicine and Horizon/CMS whereby General Medicine agreed to provide medical director services to skilled nursing facilities owned by Horizon/CMS for a term of three years. Horizon/CMS terminated the agreement for cause six months after it was executed, and General Medicine then initiated a lawsuit against Horizon/CMS in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in 1996 (the “Michigan Action”). General Medicine's complaint in the Michigan Action alleged that Horizon/CMS breached the services contract by wrongfully terminating General Medicine. We acquired Horizon/CMS in 1997 and sold it to Meadowbrook Healthcare, Inc. in 2001 pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. In 2004, Meadowbrook, without the knowledge of HealthSouth, consented to the entry of a final judgment in the Michigan Action in

20

HealthSouth Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

favor of General Medicine against Horizon/CMS for the alleged wrongful termination of the contract with General Medicine in the amount of $376 million, plus interest from the date of the judgment until paid at the rate of 10% per annum (the “Consent Judgment”). The $376 million damages figure was unilaterally selected by General Medicine and was not tested or opposed by Meadowbrook. Additionally, the settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) used as the basis for the Consent Judgment provided that Meadowbrook would pay only $300,000 to General Medicine to settle the Michigan Action and that General Medicine would seek to recover the remaining balance of the Consent Judgment solely from us. We were not a party to the Michigan Action, the Settlement negotiated by Meadowbrook, or the Consent Judgment.

The complaint filed by General Medicine against us in the Alabama Action alleges that while Horizon/CMS was our wholly owned subsidiary, General Medicine was an existing creditor of Horizon/CMS by virtue of the Settlement. The complaint also alleges we caused Horizon/CMS to transfer its assets to us for less than a reasonably equivalent value or, in the alternative, with the actual intent to defraud creditors of Horizon/CMS, including General Medicine, in violation of the Alabama Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act. General Medicine further alleges in its amended complaint that we are liable for the Consent Judgment despite not being a party to it because as Horizon/CMS's parent we failed to observe corporate formalities in our operation and ownership of Horizon/CMS, misused our control of Horizon/CMS, stripped assets from Horizon/CMS, and engaged in other conduct which amounted to a fraud on Horizon/CMS's creditors. General Medicine has requested relief including recovery of the unpaid amount of the Consent Judgment, the avoidance of the subject transfers of assets, attachment of the assets transferred to us, appointment of a receiver over the transferred properties, and a monetary judgment for the value of properties transferred.

We have denied liability to General Medicine and asserted counterclaims against General Medicine for fraud, injurious falsehood, tortious interference with business relations, conspiracy, unjust enrichment, abuse of process, and other causes of action. In our counterclaims, we alleged the Consent Judgment is the product of fraud, collusion and bad faith by General Medicine and Meadowbrook and, further, that these parties were guilty of a conspiracy to manufacture a lawsuit against HealthSouth in favor of General Medicine. Consequently, we assert that the Consent Judgment is not evidence of a legitimate debt owed by Horizon/CMS to General Medicine that is collectible from HealthSouth under any theory of liability.

In 2008, after we obtained discovery concerning the circumstances that lead to the entry of the Consent Judgment, we filed a motion in the Michigan Action asking the court to set aside the Consent Judgment on grounds that it was the product of fraud on the court and collusion by the parties. On May 21, 2009, the court granted our motion to set aside the Consent Judgment on grounds that it was the product of fraud on the court. On March 9, 2010, General Medicine filed an appeal of the court's decision to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The parties agreed to a voluntary stay of the Alabama Action pending the outcome of General Medicine's appeal to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. On April 10, 2012, a three-judge panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's ruling and reinstated the Consent Judgment. On June 26, 2012, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals denied our application for rehearing by the full court. Due to the conclusion of the appeal in the Michigan Action, General Medicine requested reactivation of the Alabama Action in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama. On October 4, 2012, the Alabama Action was assigned to a judge in the commercial litigation docket. An initial status conference has been set for November 9, 2012.

Based on the stage of litigation, review of the current facts and circumstances as we understand them, the nature of the underlying claim, the results of the proceedings to date, and the nature and scope of the defense we continue to mount, we do not believe an adverse judgment or settlement is probable in this matter, and it is also not possible to estimate the amount of loss, if any, or range of possible loss that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement of this case. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against General Medicine's claims and to vigorously prosecute our counterclaims against General Medicine.

Other Litigation—

We have been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed March 28, 2003 by several individual stockholders in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, captioned Nichols v. HealthSouth Corp. The plaintiffs allege that we, some of our former officers, and our former investment bank engaged in a scheme to overstate and misrepresent our earnings and financial position. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages. This case was consolidated with the Tucker case for discovery and other pretrial purposes and was stayed in the Circuit Court on August 8, 2005. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on November 9, 2010 to which we responded with a motion to dismiss filed on December 22, 2010. During a hearing on February 24, 2012, plaintiffs' counsel indicated his intent to dismiss certain claims against us. Instead, on March 9, 2012, the

21

HealthSouth Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

plaintiffs amended their complaint to include additional securities fraud claims against HealthSouth and add several former officers to the lawsuit. On September 12, 2012, the plaintiffs further amended their complaint to request certification as a class action. One of those named officers removed the case to federal court on September 14, 2012. We filed a motion to remand the case back to state court on October 12, 2012. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this case. Based on the stage of litigation, review of the current facts and circumstances as we understand them, the nature of the underlying claim, the results of the proceedings to date, and the nature and scope of the defense we continue to mount, we do not believe an adverse judgment or settlement is probable in this matter, and it is also not possible to estimate the amount of loss, if any, or range of possible loss that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement of this case.

We were named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed March 3, 2009 by an individual in the Court of Common Pleas, Richland County, South Carolina, captioned Sulton v. HealthSouth Corp, et al. The plaintiff alleged that certain treatment he received at a HealthSouth facility complicated a pre-existing infectious injury. The plaintiff sought recovery for pain and suffering, medical expenses, punitive damages, and other damages. On July 30, 2010, the jury in this case returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $12.3 million in damages. On May 29, 2012, the Supreme Court of South Carolina granted the parties' joint motion to submit the appeal directly to that court. The parties have completed their briefing for the appeal, and the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on October 17, 2012. We believe the attending nurses acted both responsibly and professionally, and we will continue to support and defend them. Although we continue to believe in the merit of our defenses and counterarguments, we have recorded a liability of $12.3 million in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 with a corresponding receivable of $7.7 million in Other current assets for the portion of the claim we expect to be covered through our excess insurance coverages, resulting in a net charge of $4.6 million to Other operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $4.6 million portion of this claim would be a covered claim through our captive insurance subsidiary, HCS, Ltd. As a result of the verdict, we made a $6.0 million payment through HCS, Ltd. to the Richland County Clerk as a deposit during the on-going appeal process. The deposit is a restricted asset included in Other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Other Matters—

The False Claims Act, 18 U.S.C. § 287, allows private citizens, called “relators,” to institute civil proceedings alleging violations of the False Claims Act. These qui tam cases are generally sealed by the court at the time of filing. The only parties privy to the information contained in the complaint are the relator, the federal government, and the presiding court. It is possible that qui tam lawsuits have been filed against us and that we are unaware of such filings or have been ordered by the presiding court not to discuss or disclose the filing of such lawsuits. We may be subject to liability under one or more undisclosed qui tam cases brought pursuant to the False Claims Act.

It is our obligation as a participant in Medicare and other federal healthcare programs to routinely conduct audits and reviews of the accuracy of our billing systems and other regulatory compliance matters. As a result of these reviews, we have made, and will continue to make, disclosures to the HHS-OIG and CMS relating to amounts we suspect represent over-payments from these programs, whether due to inaccurate billing or otherwise. Some of these disclosures have resulted in, or may result in, HealthSouth refunding amounts to Medicare or other federal healthcare programs.

On June 24, 2011, we received a document subpoena addressed to HealthSouth Hospital of Houston, a long-term acute care hospital ("LTCH") we closed in August 2011, from the Dallas, Texas office of the HHS-OIG. The subpoena is in connection with an investigation of possible false or otherwise improper claims submitted to Medicare and Medicaid and requests documents and materials relating to this closed LTCH's patient admissions, length of stay, and discharge matters. We are cooperating fully with the HHS-OIG in connection with this subpoena and are currently unable to predict the timing or outcome of this investigation.

We also face certain financial risks and challenges relating to our 2007 divestiture transactions (see Note 18, Assets and Liabilities in and Results of Discontinued Operations, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K) following their closing. These include indemnification obligations or other claims and assessments, which in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

10. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

The accompanying condensed consolidating financial information has been prepared and presented pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10, “Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered.” Each of the subsidiary guarantors is 100% owned by HealthSouth, and all guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, subject to certain customary conditions for release. HealthSouth’s investments in its consolidated subsidiaries, as well as guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in nonguarantor subsidiaries and nonguarantor subsidiaries’ investments in guarantor subsidiaries, are presented under the equity method of accounting with the related investment presented within the line item Intercompany receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidating balance sheets.

As described in Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K, the terms of our credit agreement restrict us from declaring or paying cash dividends on our common stock unless: (1) we are not in default under our credit agreement and (2) the amount of the dividend, when added to the aggregate amount of certain other defined payments made during the same fiscal year, does not exceed certain maximum thresholds. However, as described in Note 11, Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K, our preferred stock generally provides for the payment of cash dividends, subject to certain limitations.

In the third quarter of 2012, we revised our condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to adjust cash flows from operating activities to eliminate equity in earnings from affiliates, which is a noncash activity. The impact of this revision, along with other immaterial classification revisions, was to decrease cash flows from operating activities (and, correspondingly increase cash flows fromfinancing activities) for HealthSouth Corporation, Guarantor Subsidiaries, and Nonguarantor Subsidiaries by $196.6 million, $11.1 million, and $3.0 million, respectively, with an offset to Eliminating Entries. This revision is not material to the related financial statements for any prior periods and had no impact on our consolidated statements of cash flows. As prior period financial information is presented in future filings, we will similarly revise the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows.

During the third quarter of 2012, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of HealthSouth made a dividend or distribution of available cash, including intercompany receivable balances, to their parents. These dividends and distributions impacted the Intercompany receivable and HealthSouth shareholders' equity (deficit) line items in the accompanying condensed consolidating balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 but had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of HealthSouth Corporation. Historically, regular dividends or distributions of available cash, including intercompany receivable balances resulting from HealthSouth's routine sweeps of the cash balances under cash management arrangements at wholly owned subsidiaries, have not been made by HealthSouth's wholly owned subsidiaries to their parents. Going forward, we intend to make such dividends and distributions periodically.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) relates to HealthSouth Corporation and its subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report and our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Form 10-K”). As used in this report, the terms “HealthSouth,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to HealthSouth Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or indicated by context.

This MD&A is designed to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our condensed consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our condensed consolidated financial statements. See "Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" on page ii of this report for a description of important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected results. See also Item 1A, Risk Factors, to the 2011 Form 10-K.

Executive Overview

Our Business

We operate inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and provide specialized rehabilitative treatment on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. As of September 30, 2012, we operated 99 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals (including 2 hospitals that operate as joint ventures which we account for using the equity method of accounting), 26 outpatient rehabilitation satellite clinics (operated by our hospitals, including one joint venture satellite), and 25 licensed, hospital-based home health agencies. In addition to HealthSouth hospitals, we manage three inpatient rehabilitation units through management contracts. While our national network of inpatient hospitals stretches across 27 states and Puerto Rico, our inpatient hospitals are concentrated in the eastern half of the United States and Texas.

Our core business is providing inpatient rehabilitative services. We are the nation’s largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in terms of patients treated and discharged, revenues, and number of hospitals. Our inpatient rehabilitation hospitals offer specialized rehabilitative care across a wide array of diagnoses and deliver comprehensive, high-quality, cost-effective patient care services. The majority of patients we serve experience significant physical and cognitive disabilities due to medical conditions, such as strokes, neurological disorders, hip fractures, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries, that are generally nondiscretionary in nature and which require rehabilitative healthcare services in an inpatient setting. Our team of highly skilled nurses and physical, occupational, and speech therapists working with our physician partners utilize proven technology and clinical protocols with the objective of returning patients to home and work. Patient care is provided by nursing and therapy staff as directed by physician orders while case managers monitor each patient’s progress and provide documentation and oversight of patient status, achievement of goals, discharge planning, and functional outcomes. Our hospitals provide a comprehensive interdisciplinary clinical approach to treatment that leads to a higher level of care and superior outcomes.

For 2012, our focus has been, and will continue to be, on providing high-quality, cost-effective care while seeking to invest our strong cash flows from operations in compelling growth opportunities in our core business. We will also continue to consider repurchases of our preferred and common stock, common stock dividends, and, if warranted, further reductions to our long-term debt (subject to changes in our operating environment). Thus far in 2012, we:

• continued development of the following four, publicly announced de novo hospitals;

Location	# of Beds	Construction Start Date	Expected Operational Date
Marion County, Florida (Ocala)	40	Q4 2011	Q4 2012
Littleton, Colorado (South Denver)	40	Q2 2012	Q2 2013
Stuart, Florida (a joint venture with Martin Health Systems)	34	Q2 2012	Q2 2013

• received certificate of need approval to build a 50-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in the greater Orlando, FL market;

• acquired 12 inpatient rehabilitation beds in Andalusia, Alabama from a subsidiary of LifePoint Hospitals in order to add beds at our existing hospital in Dothan, Alabama;

• acquired the 34-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit of CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital - Medical Center. The operations of this unit have been relocated to and consolidated with our existing hospital in San Antonio, Texas;

• entered into a letter of intent to acquire Walton Rehabilitation Hospital, a 58-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Augusta, Georgia. This transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013;

• broke ground on a replacement hospital for HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Western Massachusetts which is currently leased;

• purchased, in conjunction with our joint venture partner, the land and building previously subject to an operating lease associated with our joint venture hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas;

• added 77 beds to existing hospitals;

• repurchased 46,645 shares of our convertible perpetual preferred stock;

• amended the joint venture agreement related to St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital which resulted in a change in accounting for this hospital from the equity method of accounting to a consolidated entity. The amendment revised certain participatory rights held by our joint venture partner resulting in HealthSouth gaining control of this entity from an accounting perspective;

• amended and restated our credit agreement to, among other things, increase the size of our revolving credit facility from $500 million to $600 million, eliminate the former $100 million term loan ($95 million outstanding), extend the revolver maturity from May 2016 to August 2017, and lower the interest rate spread by 50 basis points to an initial rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below); and

• completed a registered public offering of $275 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2024 at a public offering price of 100% of the principal amount, the proceeds of which were used to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and redeem 10% of the outstanding principal amount of our existing 7.25% Senior Notes due 2018 and our existing 7.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below).

In the three months ended September 30, 2012, discharge growth of 4.2% coupled with a 4.4% increase in net patient revenue per discharge generated 8.7% growth in net patient revenue from our hospitals compared to the same period of 2011. Discharge growth was comprised of 2.5% growth from new stores and a 1.7% increase in same-store discharges. Approximately 130 basis points of discharge growth from new stores resulted from the consolidation of St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital beginning in the third quarter of 2012, as described above. This revenue growth combined with improved operating leverage and labor productivity to result in a $15.3 million, or 19.3%, increase in operating earnings (as defined in Note 23, Quarterly Data (Unaudited), to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K) in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same quarter of 2011. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, discharge growth of 4.4% coupled with a 3.3% increase in net patient revenue per discharge generated 7.8% growth in net patient revenue from our hospitals compared to the same period of 2011. Our discharge growth included a 2.9% increase in same-store discharges during the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. This revenue growth combined with improved operating leverage and labor productivity to result in a $23.9 million, or 9.2%, increase in operating earnings in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities was $302.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $213.2 million for the same period of 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 due primarily to increased Net operating revenues, improved operating leverage, and a decrease in interest expense. See the "Results of Operations" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources and Uses of Cash" sections of this Item.

We believe the demand for inpatient rehabilitative healthcare services will continue to increase as the U.S. population ages, and we believe this demographic factor aligns with our strengths in, and focus on, inpatient rehabilitative care. Unlike many of our competitors that may offer inpatient rehabilitation as one of many secondary services, inpatient rehabilitation is our core business. We also believe we can address the demand for inpatient rehabilitative services in markets where we

currently do not have a presence by constructing or acquiring new hospitals. For additional discussion of our strategy and business outlook, see the “Business Outlook” section below.

Reclassifications

As of January 1, 2012, we reclassified our Provision for doubtful accounts from operating expenses to a component of Net operating revenues for all periods presented.

During the third quarter of 2012, we negotiated with our partner to amend the joint venture agreement related to St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital which resulted in a change in accounting for this hospital from the equity method of accounting to a consolidated entity. The amendment revised certain participatory rights held by our joint venture partner resulting in HealthSouth gaining control of this entity from an accounting perspective. The consolidation of St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, and Note 2, Investments in and Advances to Nonconsolidated Affiliates, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report for additional information.

Litigation By and Against Former Independent Auditor

As discussed in Note 9, Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, the arbitration process continues in the pursuit of our claims against Ernst & Young LLP and the defense of their claims against us. The rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") require that all aspects of the arbitration remain confidential. Since the beginning of the arbitration in July 2010 and through September 30, 2012, there have been approximately 105 days of hearings, generally in four-day blocks of time.

On October 12, 2012, the AAA panel ordered a temporary stay of the arbitration. We requested that the panel review and consider the ongoing proceedings in another case, In re State of Alabama Department of Revenue v. HealthSouth Corporation, et al., which the Supreme Court of Alabama agreed on August 17, 2012 to hear on appeal. The In re Alabama case is itself unrelated to the Ernst & Young arbitration but does involve an issue of Alabama law that is in dispute in the arbitration. The issue is whether, under Alabama law, the wrongdoing of disloyal employees can or should be imputed to the employer. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments on November 7, 2012.

We can provide no assurances as to the timing of the resumption or the conclusion of the arbitration. However, we remain confident in our claims and are committed to aggressively and diligently pursuing them to conclusion.

Stock Repurchase Authorization

In October 2011, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $125 million of our common stock. The repurchase authorization does not require the repurchase of a specific number of shares, has an indefinite term, and is subject to termination at any time by our board of directors. Subject to certain terms and conditions, including a maximum price per share and compliance with federal and state securities and other laws, the repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or other transactions, including trades under a plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases under this authorization, if any, are expected to be funded using cash on hand and availability under our revolving credit facility. There has been no activity under the Company's common stock repurchase authorization since its inception.

Our board of directors also granted discretion to management to repurchase from time to time, subject to similar conditions, warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement, dated as of January 16, 2004, with Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, N.A., as warrant agent, and up to $125 million of our convertible perpetual preferred stock. Likewise, this authority does not require the purchase of a specific number of warrants or shares, has an indefinite term, and is subject to termination at any time by our board of directors. See Note 20, Earnings per Common Share, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K for additional information regarding these warrants. As discussed in Note 4, Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, we repurchased 46,645 shares of our preferred stock for $46.5 million during the first nine months of 2012.

Key Challenges

As we continue to execute our business plan, the following are some of the challenges we face:

• Reduced Medicare Reimbursement. On August 2, 2011, President Obama signed into law the Budget Control Act of 2011, provisions of which will result in an automatic 2% reduction of Medicare program payments for all healthcare providers effective upon executive order of the President in January 2013. We currently estimate this automatic reduction, known as "sequestration," will result in a net decrease in our Net operating revenues of approximately $34 million annually in 2013. Additionally, concerns held by federal policymakers about the federal deficit and national debt levels could result in enactment of further federal spending reductions, further entitlement reform legislation affecting the Medicare program, or both. We cannot predict what alternative or additional deficit reduction initiatives or Medicare payment reductions, if any, will ultimately be enacted into law, or the timing or effect any such initiatives or reductions will have on us. If enacted, such initiatives or reductions would likely be challenging for all providers, would likely have the effect of limiting Medicare beneficiaries' access to healthcare services, and could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

However, we believe the steps we have taken to reduce our debt and corresponding debt service obligations coupled with our efficient cost structure and substantial owned real estate should allow us to absorb, adjust to, or mitigate any potential initiative or payment reductions more easily than most other inpatient rehabilitation providers. In addition, we have decided for the current year to replace the annual merit increase typically provided to nonmanagement employees in October of each year with a one-time, merit-based, year-end bonus to be paid in December 2012. We believe this action will enhance our flexibility to address and mitigate the expected impact of sequestration and potential additional Medicare payment reductions in 2013 and beyond. See also the “Results of Operations - Salaries and Benefits” section of this Item.

• Changes to Our Operating Environment Resulting from Healthcare Reform. On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “PPACA”) into law. On March 30, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which amended the PPACA (together, the “2010 Healthcare Reform Laws”). On June 28, 2012, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the constitutionality of the 2010 Healthcare Reform Laws, with the exception of the provisions for the mandatory expansion of Medicaid coverage by the states. The 2010 Healthcare Reform Laws remain subject to continuing legislative scrutiny. We cannot predict the outcome of any future legislation related to the 2010 Healthcare Reform Laws, but we have been, and will continue to be, actively engaged in the legislative and regulatory process to attempt to ensure any healthcare laws or regulations adopted or amended promote our goal of high-quality, cost-effective care.

Many provisions within the 2010 Healthcare Reform Laws have impacted or could in the future impact our business. Most notably for us are the reductions in our annual market basket updates. In accordance with Medicare laws and statutes, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") makes annual adjustments to Medicare reimbursement rates by what is commonly known as a market basket update. The reduction in effect from October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012 and again from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013 is 0.1%.

In addition, the 2010 Healthcare Reform Laws require the market basket update to be reduced further by a productivity adjustment on an annual basis. The productivity adjustments equal the trailing 10-year average of changes in annual economy-wide private nonfarm business multi-factor productivity. The productivity adjustment effective from October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012 was a decrease to the market basket update of 1.0%, while the productivity adjustment effective from October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013 is a decrease to the market basket update of 0.7%.

On July 25, 2012, CMS released its notice of final rulemaking for fiscal year 2013 (the "2013 Rule") for inpatient rehabilitation facilities under the prospective payment system ("IRF-PPS"). The 2013 Rule is effective for Medicare discharges between October 1, 2012 and September 30, 2013. The pricing changes in this rule include a 2.7% market basket update that has been reduced by 0.1% under the requirements of the 2010 Healthcare Reform Laws discussed above, as well as other pricing changes that impact our hospital-by-hospital base rate for Medicare reimbursement. Based on our analysis which utilizes, among other things, the acuity of our patients over the 12-month period prior to the rule's release, incorporates other adjustments included in this rule, and the productivity adjustment discussed above, we believe the 2013 Rule will result in a net increase to our Medicare payment rates of approximately 2.1% effective October 1, 2012, before applying the effect of sequestration.

35

The 2010 Healthcare Reform Laws and their impact or potential future impact to us are discussed in more detail in Item 1, Business, "Healthcare Reform," and Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, "Executive Overview," to the 2011 Form 10-K, as well as Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, to our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012.

Given the complexity and the number of changes in these laws, as well as the implementation timetable for many of them, we cannot predict their ultimate impact. However, we believe the above provisions are the issues with the greatest potential impact on us. We will continue to evaluate and review these laws, and, based on our track record, we believe we can adapt to these regulatory changes.

• Maintaining Strong Volume Growth. As discussed above, the majority of patients we serve experience significant physical and cognitive disabilities due to medical conditions, such as strokes, neurological disorders, hip fractures, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries, that are generally nondiscretionary in nature and which require rehabilitative healthcare services in an inpatient setting. In addition, because most of our patients are persons 65 and older, our patients generally have insurance coverage through Medicare. However, we do treat some patients with medical conditions that are discretionary in nature. During periods of economic uncertainty, patients may choose to forgo discretionary procedures. We believe this is one of the factors creating weakness in the number of patients admitted to and discharged from acute care hospitals. Because approximately 94% of our patients are referred to us by acute care hospitals, if these patients continue to forgo procedures and acute care providers report soft volumes, it may be more challenging for us to maintain our recent volume growth rates.

• Recruiting and Retaining High-Quality Personnel. Our operations are dependent on the efforts, abilities, and experience of our medical personnel, such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, nurses, other healthcare professionals, and our management. In some markets, the lack of availability of medical personnel is an operating issue facing all healthcare providers, although the weak economy has mitigated this issue to some degree. We have maintained a comprehensive compensation and benefits package to attempt to remain competitive in this challenging staffing environment while also being consistent with our goal of being a high-quality, cost-effective provider of inpatient rehabilitative services.

Unlike certain other post-acute settings, patients treated in inpatient rehabilitation hospitals require and receive significantly more intensive services because of their acute medical conditions. This includes 24-hour per day, seven days per week supervision by registered nurses. As part of our efforts to continue to provide high-quality inpatient rehabilitative services, our hospitals are utilizing more certified rehabilitation registered nurses (“CRRNs”). We encourage our nursing professionals to seek CRRN certifications via salary incentives and tuition reimbursement programs. While these incentive programs increase our costs, we believe the benefits of increasing the number of CRRNs far out-weigh such costs and further differentiate us, in particular our quality of care, from other post-acute providers.

Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel for our hospitals will remain a high priority for us. See also Item 1A, Risk Factors, to the 2011 Form 10-K.

• Operating in a Highly Regulated Industry. We are required to comply with extensive and complex laws and regulations at the federal, state, and local government levels. These rules and regulations have affected, or could in the future affect, our business activities by having an impact on the reimbursement we receive for services provided or the costs of compliance, mandating new documentation standards, requiring licensure or certification of our hospitals, regulating our relationships with physicians and other referral sources, regulating the use of our properties, and limiting our ability to enter new markets or add new beds to existing hospitals. Ensuring continuous compliance with these laws and regulations is an operating requirement for all healthcare providers.

Reimbursement for our inpatient rehabilitation services is discussed above and in Item 1, Business, “Sources of Revenues,” to the 2011 Form 10-K.

A portion of our outpatient services are reimbursed under Medicare's physician fee schedule. By statute, the physician fee schedule is subject to annual automatic adjustment by a sustainable growth rate formula that has resulted in reductions in reimbursement rates every year since 2002. However, in each instance, Congress has acted to suspend or postpone the effectiveness of these automatic reimbursement reductions. For example, under the CMS notice of final rulemaking for the physician fee schedule for calendar year 2012, released on November 1, 2011, a statutory reduction of 27.4% would have been implemented. However, Congress passed on December 23, 2011, and President Obama signed into law, an extension of the current Medicare physician fee

36

schedule payment rates from January 1, 2012 through February 29, 2012, and again in February 2012, they acted to extend the current Medicare physician reimbursement rates through December 31, 2012, further postponing the statutory reduction. On July 6, 2012, CMS again released a notice of proposed rulemaking for calendar year 2013 that would reduce outpatient service payments by the sustainable growth rate formula. If Congress does not again extend relief as it has done since 2002 or permanently modify the sustainable growth rate formula by January 1, 2013, payment levels for outpatient services under the physician fee schedule will be reduced at that point by more than 26%. We currently estimate that a 26% reduction, before taking into account our efforts to mitigate these changes, would result in a net decrease in our Net operating revenues of approximately $8 million annually and may lead to our closure of additional outpatient satellite clinics. However, we cannot predict what action, if any, Congress will take on the physician fee schedule and other reimbursement matters affecting our outpatient services or what future rule changes CMS will implement.

Effective October 1, 2012, all inpatient rehabilitation facilities are required to submit data for the IRF Quality Reporting Program to CMS. Beginning October 1, 2014, and each subsequent fiscal year thereafter, failure to submit the required quality data will result in a two percentage point reduction to the applicable facility's annual market basket increase factor for payments made for discharges occurring during that fiscal year. Our hospitals are prepared for these reporting requirements and began submitting the required data to CMS in October.

We have invested, and will continue to invest, substantial time, effort, and expense in implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures designed to ensure regulatory compliance, and we are committed to continued adherence to these guidelines. More specifically, because Medicare comprises a significant portion of our Net operating revenues, it is important for us to remain compliant with the laws and regulations governing the Medicare program and related matters including anti-kickback and anti-fraud requirements. If we were unable to remain compliant with these regulations, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially, adversely impacted. Even the assertion of noncompliance, depending on its nature, could have a material adverse effect upon our stock price or reputation.

See also Item 1, Business, “Sources of Revenue” and “Regulation,” and Item 1A, Risk Factors, to the 2011 Form 10-K.

Business Outlook

We believe our business outlook remains positive for two reasons. First, the demand for inpatient rehabilitative care is not going away due primarily to favorable demographics. Most of the patients we treat are over the age of 65 and have conditions such as strokes, hip fractures, and a variety of debilitating neurological conditions that are generally nondiscretionary in nature. As the baby boomers age, this segment of the population will grow. In our markets, we have estimated the demand for inpatient rehabilitative care is growing at an average of 2.0% to 2.6% per year.

Second, not only are we in a growing sector of healthcare, we are the industry leader in that sector. As the nation's largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, we believe we differentiate ourselves from our competitors based on our broad platform of clinical expertise, the quality of our clinical outcomes, the application of rehabilitative technology, and the sustainability of best practices. We have invested considerable resources into clinical and management systems and protocols that have allowed us to consistently lower costs. This investment has continued in 2012 as we began the company-wide roll-out of our new electronic clinical information system. We also encourage our hospitals to participate in The Joint Commission's Disease-Specific Care Certification Program. Under this program, Joint Commission accredited organizations, like our hospitals, may seek certification for chronic diseases or conditions such as brain injury or stroke rehabilitation by demonstrating compliance with national standards, demonstrating the effective use of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to manage and optimize patient care, and demonstrating an organized approach to performance measurement and evaluation of clinical outcomes. Obtaining such certifications demonstrates our commitment to excellence in providing disease-specific care. Currently, 73 of our hospitals hold one or more disease-specific certifications.

While we do not anticipate any significant change to the long-term demand for inpatient rehabilitative care or our ability to provide this care on a high-quality, cost-effective basis, we do expect continued uncertainty surrounding the potential for future changes to the Medicare program. Despite this uncertainty, we will continue to maintain our focus on providing high-quality care while seeking incremental efficiencies in our cost structure. Our growth strategy remains focused on organic growth and development activities, and we believe continued growth in our Adjusted EBITDA and our strong cash flows from operations will allow us to invest in these growth opportunities. We will also consider repurchases of our preferred and common stock, common stock dividends, and, if warranted, further reductions to our long-term debt (subject to changes in our operating environment).

37

Healthcare has always been a highly regulated industry, and we have cautioned our stockholders that future Medicare payments could be at risk. While the Medicare reimbursement environment may be challenging, the demand for inpatient rehabilitative services is not going away. HealthSouth has a proven track record of adapting to and succeeding in a highly regulated environment, and we believe HealthSouth is well-positioned to continue to succeed and grow in the years to come. We have adopted strategies to better prepare us to absorb these reimbursement risks. Further, we believe the regulatory and reimbursement risks discussed above may present us with opportunities to grow by acquiring or consolidating existing operations in our highly fragmented industry. We have been disciplined in creating a capital structure that is flexible with no significant debt maturities prior to 2017. We have redeemed our most expensive debt and reduced our interest expense. We have not acquired companies outside our core business. Rather, we have invested in our core business and created an infrastructure that enables us to provide high-quality care on a cost-effective basis. Most importantly, our balance sheet is strong. Our leverage ratio is within our target range, we have ample liquidity, we continue to generate strong cash flows from operations, and we have flexibility with how we choose to invest our cash. For these and other reasons, we believe we will be able to adapt to any changes in reimbursement, sustain our business model, and be in a position to take action should a properly sized and priced acquisition or consolidation opportunity arise.    

Results of Operations

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we derived consolidated Net operating revenues from the following payor sources:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Medicare	73.1	%	72.0	%	73.1	%	71.8	%
Medicaid	1.4	%	1.6	%	1.3	%	1.7	%
Workers’ compensation	1.5	%	1.6	%	1.5	%	1.7	%
Managed care and other discount plans	19.1	%	20.0	%	19.4	%	19.8	%
Other third-party payors	2.0	%	1.9	%	1.8	%	2.0	%
Patients	1.4	%	1.3	%	1.4	%	1.2	%
Other income	1.5	%	1.6	%	1.5	%	1.8	%
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

Our payor mix is weighted heavily towards Medicare. Our hospitals receive Medicare reimbursements under IRF-PPS. Under IRF-PPS, our hospitals receive fixed payment amounts per discharge based on certain rehabilitation impairment categories established by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Under IRF-PPS, our hospitals retain the difference, if any, between the fixed payment from Medicare and their operating costs. Thus, our hospitals benefit from being high-quality, low-cost providers. For additional information regarding Medicare reimbursement, see the “Sources of Revenues” section of Item 1, Business, of the 2011 Form 10-K.

Under IRF-PPS, hospitals are reimbursed on a “per discharge” basis. Thus, the number of patient discharges is a key metric utilized by management to monitor and evaluate our performance. The number of outpatient visits is also tracked in order to measure the volume of outpatient activity each period.

Full-time equivalents included in the above table represent those who participate in or support the operations of our hospitals and exclude an estimate of full-time equivalents related to contract labor.

We actively manage the productive portion of our Salaries and benefits utilizing certain metrics, including employees per occupied bed, or “EPOB.” This metric is determined by dividing the number of full-time equivalents, including an estimate of full-time equivalents from the utilization of contract labor, by the number of occupied beds during each period. The number of occupied beds is determined by multiplying the number of licensed beds by our occupancy percentage.

40

In the discussion that follows, we use “same-store” comparisons to explain the changes in certain performance metrics and line items within our financial statements. We calculate same-store comparisons based on hospitals open throughout both the full current periods and prior periods presented. These comparisons include the financial results of market consolidation transactions in existing markets, as it is difficult to determine, with precision, the incremental impact of these transactions on our results of operations.

Net Operating Revenues

Our consolidated Net operating revenues consist primarily of revenues derived from patient care services. Net operating revenues also include other revenues generated from management and administrative fees and other nonpatient care services. These other revenues approximated 1.5% and 1.6% of consolidated Net operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 1.5% and 1.8% of consolidated Net operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. See below for discussion of state provider taxes included in other revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Net patient revenue from our hospitals was 8.7% higher for the three months ended September 30, 2012 than the three months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was attributable to a 4.2% increase in patient discharges and a 4.4% increase in net patient revenue per discharge. Discharge growth was comprised of 2.5% growth from new stores and a 1.7% increase in same-store discharges. Approximately 130 basis points of discharge growth from new stores resulted from the consolidation of St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital beginning in the third quarter of 2012, as described above. Discharge growth in the third quarter of 2012 was unfavorably impacted by the timing of patient discharges from the last week of September into the first week of October. We experienced a modest increase in the length of stay of our September patient population which we have seen normalize in October. Because we recognize revenue on a per diem basis, much of the revenue associated with the carryover patients was recognized in September even though the discharges occurred in October. Net patient revenue per discharge in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 was favorably impacted by the aforementioned increase in length of stay and also benefited from pricing adjustments from Medicare (as discussed above) and managed care payors, higher average acuity for the patients served, and a higher percentage of Medicare patients (as shown in the above payor mix table).

Net patient revenue from our hospitals was 7.8% higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 than the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due to the same reasons discussed above for the quarter-over-quarter increase. Patient discharges increased 4.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. Discharge growth was enhanced during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 by the additional day in February due to leap year as well as a 40 basis point increase in discharges resulting from our consolidation of St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital beginning in the third quarter of 2012, as described above. Same-store discharges were 2.9% higher period over period for the nine months.

Outpatient and other revenues decreased during the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 due to the decrease in outpatient volumes, the closure of outpatient satellite clinics in prior periods, and a reduction in home health pricing related to the 2012 Medicare home health rule. The decrease in outpatient volumes was slightly offset by an increase in the number of home health visits included in these volume metrics.

Outpatient and other revenues include the receipt of state provider taxes. A number of states in which we operate hospitals assess a provider tax to certain healthcare providers. Those tax revenues at the state level are generally matched by federal funds. In order to induce healthcare providers to serve low income patients, many states redistribute a substantial portion of these funds back to the various providers. These redistributions are based on different metrics than those used to assess the tax, and are thus in different amounts and proportions than the initial tax assessment. As a result, some providers receive a net benefit while others experience a net expense. See the discussion of Other operating expenses below for information on state provider tax expenses.

While state provider taxes are a regular component of our operating results, during 2011, a new provider tax was implemented in Pennsylvania where we operate nine inpatient hospitals. As a result of the implementation of this new provider tax in Pennsylvania, in the first quarter of 2011, we recorded approximately $3.4 million related to the period from July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 when we were notified by Pennsylvania of the specific provider tax refund to be issued to us after Pennsylvania had received approval from CMS on its amended state plan relative to these taxes.

Excluding the state provider tax refunds discussed above, outpatient and other revenues decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 due to the same reasons discussed above for the quarter-over-quarter decrease.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts

As disclosed previously, we have experienced denials of certain diagnosis codes by Medicare contractors based on medical necessity. We dispute, or “appeal,” most of these denials, and we have historically collected approximately 58% of all amounts denied. The resolution of these disputes can take in excess of one year, and we cannot provide assurance as to the ongoing and future success of these disputes. As such, we make provisions against these receivables in accordance with our accounting policy that necessarily considers the age and historical collection trends of the receivables in this review process as part of our Provision for doubtful accounts. Therefore, as we experience increases or decreases in these denials, or if our actual collections of these denials differs from our estimated collections, we may experience volatility in our Provision for doubtful accounts. See also Item 1, Business, "Sources of Revenues—Medicare Reimbursement," to the 2011 Form 10-K.

The change in the Provision for doubtful accounts as a percent of Net operating revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 was primarily the result of an increase in Medicare claim denials and a lengthening in the related adjudication process.

Salaries and Benefits

Salaries and benefits are the most significant cost to us and represent an investment in our most important asset: our employees. Salaries and benefits include all amounts paid to full- and part-time employees who directly participate in or support the operations of our hospitals, including all related costs of benefits provided to employees. It also includes amounts paid for contract labor.

Salaries and benefits increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 primarily due to increased patient volumes, including an increase in the number of full-time equivalents as a result of our 2011 development activities and the consolidation of St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital discussed above, an approximate 2% merit increase provided to employees on October 1, 2011, and a change in the skills mix of employees at our hospitals. As part of the standardization of our labor practices across all of our hospitals and as part of our efforts to continue to provide high-quality inpatient rehabilitative services, our hospitals are utilizing more registered nurses and CRRNs, which increases our average cost per full-time equivalent, and fewer licensed practical nurses.

Salaries and benefits as a percent of Net operating revenues decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 due primarily to continued improvement in labor productivity, as shown in our EPOB metric above, offset slightly by the higher skills mix of our employees in 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 and the ramp up of operations at two new hospitals that opened in the fourth quarter of 2011. In addition to these items, Salaries and benefits as a percent of Net operating revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 also included the impact of increased workers' compensation costs.

As discussed above, we did not grant a merit increase to our employees on October 1, 2012. Rather, we replaced merit increases in 2012 with a one-time, merit-based, year-end bonus to be paid in December 2012 to all eligible nonmanagement employees. We did this to reward our nonmanagement employees for their performance in 2012 while not carrying the additional costs associated with a merit increase into 2013 and beyond where we face the impact of sequestration and the risk of potential additional Medicare reimbursement reductions. The Company expects Salaries and benefits to increase by approximately $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 as a result of this special bonus. This bonus is approximately $5.5 million more than would have been included in our fourth quarter 2012 results had we given a 2.25% merit increase to all nonmanagement employees effective October 1, 2012. In addition, because merit increases were foregone in 2012, management has determined the Company will absorb all of the increased costs associated with medical plan benefits to employees in 2013.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses include costs associated with managing and maintaining our hospitals. These expenses include such items as contract services, utilities, non-income related taxes, insurance, professional fees, and repairs and maintenance.

As a percent of Net operating revenues, Other operating expenses decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 due primarily to our increasing revenue base. Other operating expenses decreased as a percent of Net operating revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 due primarily to our increasing revenue base as well as a decrease in self-insurance costs in 2012. As disclosed previously, we update our actuarial estimates surrounding our self-insurance reserves in June and December of each

42

year. Self-insurance costs associated with professional and general liability risks in the second quarter of 2011 were higher than the second quarter of 2012 due to the need to increase reserves in 2011 based upon the actuarial study completed at that time.

Other operating expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included $1.9 million of expenses associated with the implementation of the new Pennsylvania state provider tax program, as discussed above. Other operating expenses associated with the implementation of our electronic clinical information system were $0.7 million and $2.1 million higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2011.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily include administrative expenses such as information technology services, corporate accounting, human resources, internal audit and controls, and legal services that are managed from our corporate headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama. These expenses also include all stock-based compensation expenses.

The increase in General and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 primarily resulted from increased expenses associated with stock-based compensation. Our restricted stock awards contain vesting requirements that include a service condition, market condition, performance condition, or a combination thereof. Due to the Company's recent operating performance, our noncash expenses associated with these awards increased in 2012.

Supplies

Supplies expense includes all costs associated with supplies used while providing patient care. These costs include pharmaceuticals, food, needles, bandages, and other similar items. Supplies expense decreased as a percent of Net operating revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 due to our increasing revenue base, our supply chain efforts, and our continual focus on monitoring and actively managing pharmaceutical costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

While our capital expenditures increased during the latter half of 2011 and the first nine months of 2012, the majority of these expenditures related to land and construction in progress for our de novo hospitals and capitalized software costs associated with the implementation of an electronic clinical information system at our hospitals. Depreciation on these assets, excluding land which is nondepreciable, does not begin until the applicable assets are placed in service. Therefore, while we expect depreciation and amortization to increase going forward, we did not experience a significant increase in these charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Occupancy Costs

Occupancy costs include amounts paid for rent associated with leased hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation satellite clinics, including common area maintenance and similar charges. These costs declined in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 due to our purchase of the land and building previously subject to an operating lease associated with our joint venture hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Occupancy costs are expected to continue to decrease going forward.

Government, Class Action, and Related Settlements

The gain included in Government, class action, and related settlements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 resulted from the recovery of assets from Richard Scrushy, as discussed in Note 9, Contingencies, “Litigation Against Richard M. Scrushy,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report.

Professional Fees—Accounting, Tax, and Legal

Professional fees—accounting, tax, and legal for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 related primarily to legal and consulting fees for continued litigation and support matters arising from prior reporting and restatement issues. These fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011 specifically included $1.4 million, $1.4 million, and $4.4 million, respectively, related to our obligation to pay 35% of any recovery from Mr. Scrushy to the attorneys for the derivative shareholder plaintiffs. These expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 also included legal and consulting fees for the pursuit of our remaining income tax benefits. See Note 21, Settlements, and Note 22, Contingencies and Other Commitments, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K and Note 7, Income Taxes, and Note 9, Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

As discussed in Note 3, Long-term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, and as a result of the amendment to our credit agreement in August 2012, we recorded a $1.3 million Loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

In June and September 2011, we redeemed all of our 10.75% Senior Notes due 2016. The Loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 resulted from these transactions.

In October 2012, we redeemed $33.5 million of our 7.25% Senior Notes due 2018 and $31.0 million of our 7.75% Senior Notes due 2022. We expect to record an approximate $2.7 million Loss on early extinguishment of debt in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to these redemptions. See Note 3, Long-term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report and the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of this Item.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Debt Discounts and Fees

The decrease in Interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and fees during the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 was due to a decrease in our average borrowings outstanding, as our average cash interest rate approximated 7.2% in both periods. The decrease in Interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 was due to a decrease in our average borrowings outstanding and a decrease in our average cash interest rate.

During 2011, we reduced total debt by approximately $257 million, including the redemption of our 10.75% Senior Notes due 2016. Our average cash interest rate was 7.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 8.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Our average cash interest rate decreased as a result of the redemption of the 10.75% Senior Notes due 2016 during 2011, which was our most expensive debt, as well as the amendment to our credit agreement in May 2011 which reduced by 100 basis points each of the various applicable interest rates for any outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility. In addition, pricing on our term loan and revolving credit facility declined an additional 25 basis points in the third quarter of 2011 in conformity with our credit agreement's leverage grid. As discussed above, the August 2012 amendment to our credit agreement lowered the interest rate spread on our revolving credit facility by an additional 50 basis points.

For additional information regarding debt and related interest expense, see Note 3, Long-term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report and Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

Other income

Other income is primarily comprised of interest income and gains and losses on sales of investments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Other income included a $4.9 million gain as a result of our consolidation of St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital and the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest at fair value. See Note 2, Investments in and Advances to Nonconsolidated Affiliates, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report.

Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Tax Expense

Excluding the Loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the increase in our Income from continuing operations before income tax expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 resulted from increased Net operating revenues, improved operating leverage and labor productivity, and a decrease in interest expense.

Provision for Income Tax Expense

Due to our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), we currently estimate our cash income tax expense to be approximately $8 million to $12 million per year due primarily to state income tax expense of subsidiaries which have separate state filing requirements, alternative minimum taxes, and federal income taxes for subsidiaries not included in our federal consolidated income tax return. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, cash income tax expense was $2.1 million and $6.4 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, cash income tax expense was $1.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

44

Our Provision for income tax expense of $28.1 million and $84.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 included the following: (1) estimated income tax expense of approximately $30 million and $86 million, respectively, based on the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate of approximately 39% to our pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth offset by (2) an approximate $1 million reduction in our valuation allowance associated with certain capital loss carryforwards and (3) an approximate $1 million reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements with taxing authorities and the lapse of applicable statutes of limitation for certain state matters.

Our Provision for income tax expense of $18.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included the following: (1) estimated income tax expense of approximately $16 million based on the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate of approximately 40% to our pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth and (2) approximately $4 million of estimated income tax expense primarily associated with federal income tax on state income tax refunds received offset by (3) approximately $2 million of income tax benefit associated with a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements with state taxing authorities and the corresponding receipt of interest income on these refunds.

Our Provision for income tax expense of $21.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included the following: (1) estimated income tax expense of approximately $50 million based on the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate of approximately 40% to our pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth and (2) approximately $4 million of estimated income tax expense primarily associated with federal income tax on state income tax refunds received offset by (3) the settlement of federal income tax claims with the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 2007 and 2008 which resulted in an income tax benefit of approximately $24 million and (4) other items, primarily related to a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations for certain federal and state claims, which resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $8 million.

In certain state jurisdictions, we do not expect to generate sufficient income to use all of the available NOLs prior to their expiration. This determination is based on our evaluation of all available evidence in these jurisdictions including results of operations during the preceding three years, our forecast of future earnings, and prudent tax planning strategies. It is possible we may be required to increase or decrease our valuation allowance at some future time if our forecast of future earnings varies from actual results on a consolidated basis or in the applicable state tax jurisdiction, or if the timing of future tax deductions differs from our expectations.

As part of our continued efforts to maximize our income tax benefits, we requested a pre-filing agreement with the IRS, the primary purpose of which was to consider whether certain amounts related to the restatement of our financial statements for periods prior to 2003 result in net increases to our federal NOL and adjustments to other tax attributes. The pre-filing agreement program permits taxpayers to resolve certain tax issues in advance of filing their corporate income tax returns. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits increased by approximately $74 million based on these developments. In October 2012, we submitted additional net positive claims to the IRS. However, because these claims were determined and submitted to the IRS after the balance sheet date, they are not included in the gross unrecognized income tax benefits reconciliation included in Note 7, Income Taxes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report.

Due to the unique nature of our claims and uncertainties around this process, we did not recognize any amounts associated with our request as of September 30, 2012. In July 2012, the IRS granted our request to utilize the pre-filing agreement process. Depending upon the process undertaken by the IRS to audit and settle these matters, the accounting recognition criteria for these positions could be met either in part or in total as the process continues or upon completion of the process. Therefore, as we continue this process with the IRS, it is reasonably possible that over the next twelve-month period we may experience an increase or decrease to our unrecognized tax benefits, our NOLs, other tax attributes, or any combination thereof that could have a material net favorable impact on income tax expense and our effective income tax rate. Due to the aforementioned uncertainties regarding the outcome of this process, it is not possible to determine the range of any impact at this time.

See Note 7, Income Taxes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report and Note 19, Income Taxes, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

45

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the share of net income or loss allocated to members or partners in our consolidated affiliates. Fluctuations in these amounts are primarily driven by the financial performance of the applicable hospital population each period.

Results of Discontinued Operations

The operating results of discontinued operations are as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Net operating revenues	$	—		$	9.8		$	0.8		$	96.3
Less: Provision for doubtful accounts	—			(0.2		)	(0.3		)	(1.4		)
Net operating revenues less provision for doubtful accounts	—			9.6			0.5			94.9
Costs and expenses	0.8			13.3			1.8			66.6
Impairments	—			4.6			—			5.9
(Loss) income from discontinued operations	(0.8		)	(8.3		)	(1.3		)	22.4
Gain on disposal of assets/sale of investments of discontinued operations	—			65.8			5.0			65.8
Income tax benefit (expense)	0.3			(22.8		)	(1.1		)	(34.4		)
(Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(0.5	)	$	34.7		$	2.6		$	53.8

Our results of discontinued operations primarily included the operations of the following hospitals: five of our long-term acute care hospitals ("LTCHs") (sold in August 2011) and HealthSouth Hospital of Houston (an LTCH closed in August 2011). The decreases in net operating revenues and costs and expenses in the periods presented were due primarily to the performance and eventual sale or closure of these facilities.

In addition, and as discussed in Note 21, Settlements, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K, in April 2011, we entered into a definitive settlement and release agreement with the state of Delaware (the “Delaware Settlement”) relating to a previously disclosed audit of unclaimed property conducted on behalf of Delaware and two other states by Kelmar Associates, LLC. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded a $24.8 million gain in connection with this settlement as part of our results of discontinued operations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded impairment charges of $4.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively, as a part of our results of discontinued operations. We determined the fair value of the impaired long-lived assets at these closed hospitals primarily based on the assets’ estimated fair value using valuation techniques that included third-party appraisals and offers from potential buyers.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized gains associated with the sale of the real estate associated with the Dallas Medical Center (closed in October 2008) and an investment we had in a cancer treatment center that was part of our former diagnostic division. As noted above, the transaction to sell five of our LTCHs was completed on August 1, 2011. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a $65.8 million pre-tax gain as part of our results of discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2011.

Income tax expense recorded as part of our results of discontinued operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily related to the Delaware Settlement and the gain from the sale of five of our LTCHs.

See Note 18, Assets and Liabilities in and Results of Discontinued Operations, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K for additional information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and availability under our revolving credit facility.

The objectives of our capital structure strategy are to ensure we maintain adequate liquidity and flexibility. Maintaining adequate liquidity includes supporting the execution of our operating and strategic plans and allowing us to weather temporary disruptions in the capital markets and general business environment. Maintaining flexibility in our capital structure includes limiting concentrations of debt maturities in any given year, allowing for debt prepayments without onerous penalties, and ensuring our debt agreements are limited in restrictive terms and maintenance covenants.

In the second quarter of 2012, both Moody's and S&P upgraded our corporate credit rating. As a result of our credit rating upgrade, and consistent with the above objectives, in August 2012, we amended and restated our credit agreement to increase the size of our revolver from $500 million to $600 million, eliminate the former $100 million term loan ($95 million outstanding), extend the revolver maturity from May 2016 to August 2017, and lower the interest rate spread by 50 basis points to an initial rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%. In addition, in September 2012, we completed a registered public offering of $275 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2024 at a public offering price of 100% of the principal amount, the proceeds of which were used to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and redeem 10% of the outstanding principal amount of our existing 7.25% Senior Notes due 2018 and our existing 7.75% Senior Notes due 2022. See Note 3, Long-term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report.

We have been disciplined in creating a capital structure that is flexible with no significant debt maturities prior to 2017. Our balance sheet is strong, our leverage ratio is within our target range, we have ample availability under our revolving credit facility, we continue to generate strong cash flows from operations, and we have flexibility with how we choose to invest our cash.

Current Liquidity

As of September 30, 2012, we had $163.2 million in Cash and cash equivalents. This amount excludes $27.8 million in Restricted cash and $55.7 million of restricted marketable securities ($22.7 million included in Other current assets and $33.0 million included in Other long-term assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012). Our restricted assets pertain primarily to obligations associated with our captive insurance company, as well as obligations we have under agreements with external joint venture partners. See Note 3, Cash and Marketable Securities, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

In addition to Cash and cash equivalents, as of September 30, 2012, we had approximately $559 million available to us under our revolving credit facility. Our credit agreement governs the majority of our senior secured borrowing capacity and contains a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio as financial covenants. Our leverage ratio is defined in our credit agreement as the ratio of consolidated total debt (less up to $75 million of cash on hand) to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters. Our interest coverage ratio is defined in our credit agreement as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, excluding the amortization of financing fees, for the trailing four quarters. As of September 30, 2012, the maximum leverage ratio requirement per our credit agreement was 4.75x and the minimum interest coverage ratio requirement was 2.5x, and we were in compliance with these covenants.

As discussed above in the “Executive Overview” section of this Item, and despite the regulatory uncertainty currently facing healthcare providers, we anticipate we will continue to generate strong cash flows from operations that, together with availability under our revolving credit facility, will allow us to invest in growth opportunities and continue to improve our existing core business. We will also consider repurchases of our preferred and common stock, common stock dividends, and, if warranted, further reductions to our long-term debt (subject to changes in our operating environment). As noted above, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we have repurchased 46,645 shares of our preferred stock.

As of September 30, 2012, we have scheduled principal payments of $67.5 million and $14.2 million in the remainder of 2012 and 2013, respectively, related to long-term debt obligations, including $64.5 million of bond prepayments made in October 2012 using the proceeds from our September 2012 senior notes issuance (see Note 3, Long-term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report). We do not face near-term refinancing risk, as the amounts outstanding under our credit agreement do not mature until 2017, and none of our bonds are due until 2018 and beyond.

47

See Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2011 Form 10-K and Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K for a discussion of risks and uncertainties facing us.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table shows the cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing, and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (in millions):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	302.2		$	213.2
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities	(124.3		)	32.7
Net cash used in financing activities	(44.8		)	(246.6		)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	133.1		$	(0.7	)

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 due primarily to increased Net operating revenues, improved operating leverage, and a decrease in interest expense. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included the use of $26.9 million related to the premium associated with the redemption of our 10.75% Senior Notes and a $15.8 million decrease in the liability associated with Refunds due patients and other third-party payors. The decrease in this liability primarily related to a settlement discussed in Note 21, Settlements, to the 2011 Form 10-K.

Investing activities. The increase in Cash flows used in investing activities resulted from increased capital expenditures, including capitalized software costs, in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011. The increase in our capital expenditures in 2012 primarily resulted from increased hospital refresh projects, the purchase of the real estate associated with our joint venture hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas (see also "financing activities" below), implementation of our electronic clinical information system, and our de novo development activities, including land purchases. Cash flows provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included $107.9 million of proceeds from the sale of five of our LTCHs in August 2011.

Financing activities. Cash flows used in financing activities decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. Cash flows used in financing activities during 2012 included the repurchase of 46,645 shares of our convertible perpetual preferred stock, distributions to noncontrolling interests of consolidated affiliates, and dividends paid on our preferred stock offset by net proceeds from debt transactions and capital contributions from consolidated affiliates primarily associated with the purchase of the real estate associated with our joint venture hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Cash flows used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included net principal payments on debt, including the redemption of our 10.75% Senior Notes due 2016, distributions to noncontrolling interests of consolidated affiliates, and dividends paid on our preferred stock. Net proceeds from debt transactions, including debt issue costs, were $47.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to net debt payments, including debt issue costs, of $197.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Funding Commitments

We have scheduled principal payments of $67.5 million and $14.2 million in the remainder of 2012 and 2013, respectively, related to long-term debt obligations, including $64.5 million of bond prepayments made in October 2012 using the proceeds from our September 2012 senior notes issuance. For additional information about our long-term debt obligations, see Note 3, Long-term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, and Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

Our capital expenditures include costs associated with our hospital refresh program, capacity expansions, de novo projects, technology initiatives, and building and equipment upgrades and purchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we made capital expenditures of $128.2 million for property and equipment and capitalized software. These expenditures included the purchase of the real estate associated with our joint venture hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas for approximately $15 million, half of which was reimbursed to us by our joint venture partner through a capital contribution. During 2012, we expect to spend approximately $155 million to $190 million, exclusive of acquisitions, for capital expenditures. Actual amounts spent will be dependent upon the timing of construction projects. Approximately $80 million to $105 million of this budgeted amount is considered discretionary.

As discussed earlier in this report, we believe continued growth in our Adjusted EBITDA and our strong cash flows from operations will allow us to invest in growth opportunities and continue to invest in our core business. We will also consider repurchases of our preferred and common stock, common stock dividends, and, if warranted, further reductions to our long-term debt (subject to changes in our operating environment). For a discussion of risk factors related to our business and our industry, see Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2011 Form 10-K and Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our credit agreement is a measure of our ability to service our debt and our ability to make capital expenditures. We reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to Net income and to Net cash provided by operating activities.

We use Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis as a liquidity measure. We believe this financial measure on a consolidated basis is important in analyzing our liquidity because it is the key component of certain material covenants contained within our credit agreement, which is discussed in more detail in Note 3, Long-term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, and Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K. These covenants are material terms of the credit agreement. Non‑compliance with these financial covenants under our credit agreement—our interest coverage ratio and our leverage ratio—could result in our lenders requiring us to immediately repay all amounts borrowed. If we anticipated a potential covenant violation, we would seek relief from our lenders, which would have some cost to us, and such relief might not be on terms favorable to those in our existing credit agreement. In addition, if we cannot satisfy these financial covenants, we would be prohibited under our credit agreement from engaging in certain activities, such as incurring additional indebtedness, making certain payments, and acquiring and disposing of assets. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA is critical to our assessment of our liquidity.

In general terms, the credit agreement definition of Adjusted EBITDA, referred to as “Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA” there, allows us to add back to consolidated Net income interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization and then add back to consolidated Net income (1) all unusual or nonrecurring items reducing consolidated Net income (of which only up to $10 million in a year may be cash expenditures), (2) any losses from discontinued operations and closed locations, (3) costs and expenses, including legal fees and expert witness fees, incurred with respect to litigation associated with stockholder derivative litigation, including the matters related to Ernst & Young LLP and Richard Scrushy discussed in Note 21, Settlements, and Note 22, Contingencies and Other Commitments, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K and Note 9, Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, and (4) share-based compensation expense. We also subtract from consolidated Net income all unusual or nonrecurring items to the extent they increase consolidated Net income.

Under the credit agreement, the Adjusted EBITDA calculation does not include adjustments for the following items: (1) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, (2) gain or loss on disposal of assets, (3) professional fees unrelated to the stockholder derivative litigation, and (4) unusual or nonrecurring cash expenditures in excess of $10 million. These items may not be indicative of our ongoing performance, so the Adjusted EBITDA calculation presented here includes adjustments for them.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for Net income or cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Revenues and expenses are measured in accordance with the policies and procedures described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

Our Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows (in millions):

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than the guarantees discussed below and in Note 5, Guarantees, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, there have been no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the 2011 Form 10-K.

We are secondarily liable for certain lease obligations associated with sold facilities, including the sale of our surgery centers, outpatient, and diagnostic divisions during 2007. As of September 30, 2012, we were secondarily liable for 11 such guarantees. The remaining terms of these guarantees range from one month to 54 months. If we were required to perform under all such guarantees, the maximum amount we would be required to pay approximated $11.1 million.

We have not recorded a liability for these guarantees, as we do not believe it is probable we will have to perform under these agreements. If we are required to perform under these guarantees, we could potentially have recourse against the purchaser for recovery of any amounts paid. In addition, the purchasers of our surgery centers, outpatient, and diagnostic divisions have agreed to seek releases from the lessors in favor of HealthSouth with respect to the guarantee obligations associated with these divestitures. To the extent the purchasers of these divisions are unable to obtain releases for HealthSouth, the purchasers remain obligated under the terms of the applicable purchase agreements to indemnify HealthSouth for damages incurred under the guarantee obligations, if any.

Contractual Obligations

Our consolidated contractual obligations as of September 30, 2012 are as follows (in millions):

	Total		October 1 through December 31, 2012		2013-2014		2015-2016		2017 and thereafter
Long-term debt obligations:
Long-term debt, excluding revolving credit facility and capital lease obligations (a)	$	1,246.9	$	65.2	$	5.8	$	2.9	$	1,173.0
Revolving credit facility	—		—		—		—		—
Interest on long-term debt (b)	742.0		22.7		172.3		171.6		375.4
Capital lease obligations (c)	116.0		3.9		28.3		20.4		63.4
Operating lease obligations (d)(e)	264.0		10.8		74.2		53.1		125.9
Purchase obligations (e)(f)	140.0		4.1		49.1		43.4		43.4
Other long-term liabilities (g)	3.5		0.1		0.5		0.4		2.5
Total	$	2,512.4	$	106.8	$	330.2	$	291.8	$	1,783.6

^(a)  Included in long-term debt are amounts owed on our bonds payable and other notes payable. These borrowings are further explained in Note 3, Long-term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report and Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

^(b)  Interest on our fixed rate debt is presented using the stated interest rate. Interest expense on our variable rate debt is estimated using the rate in effect as of September 30, 2012 (See Part I, Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. No variable rate debt was outstanding as of September 30, 2012.). Interest related to capital lease obligations is excluded from this line. Future minimum payments, which are accounted for as interest, related to sale/leaseback transactions involving real estate accounted for as financings are included in this line (see Note 5, Property and Equipment, and Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K). Amounts exclude amortization of debt discounts, amortization of loan fees, or fees for lines of credit that would be included in interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

^(c)  Amounts include interest portion of future minimum capital lease payments.

^(d)  We lease many of our hospitals as well as other property and equipment under operating leases in the normal course of business. Some of our hospital leases require percentage rentals on patient revenues above specified minimums and

51

contain escalation clauses. The minimum lease payments do not include contingent rental expense. Some lease agreements provide us with the option to renew the lease or purchase the leased property. Our future operating lease obligations would change if we exercised these renewal options and if we entered into additional operating lease agreements. For more information, see Note 5, Property and Equipment, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

^(e)  Future operating lease obligations and purchase obligations are not recognized in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

^(f)  Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on HealthSouth and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty. Our purchase obligations primarily relate to software licensing and support.

^(g)  Because their future cash outflows are uncertain, the following noncurrent liabilities are excluded from the table above: medical malpractice and workers' compensation risks, deferred income taxes, and our estimated liability for unsettled litigation. For more information, see Note 10, Self-Insured Risks, Note 19, Income Taxes, and Note 22, Contingencies and Other Commitments, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K. Also, at September 30, 2012, we had $79.0 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits. At this time, we cannot estimate a range of the reasonably possible change that may occur. We continue to actively pursue, through ongoing discussions with taxing authorities, the maximization of our income tax benefits, primarily related to our federal NOL. See Note 7, Income Taxes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K. Of those significant accounting policies, those that we consider to be the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, as they require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, are disclosed in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Critical Accounting Policies,” to the 2011 Form 10-K.

Since the filing of the 2011 Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies except as described below for stock-based compensation.

We recognize windfall tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options or release of restricted stock units directly to stockholders' equity only when realized. A windfall tax benefit occurs when the actual tax benefit realized by us upon an employee's exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock units exceeds the deferred tax asset, if any, associated with the award we had recorded. When assessing whether a tax benefit relating to share-based compensation has been realized, we follow the with-and-without method. Under this method, the windfall is considered realized and recognized for financial statement purposes only when an incremental benefit is provided after considering all other tax benefits, including our NOLs. The with-and-without method results in the windfall from stock-based compensation awards always being effectively the last tax benefit to be considered. Consequently, the windfall attributable to stock-based compensation will not be considered realized in instances where our NOLs (that are unrelated to windfalls) are sufficient to offset the current year's taxable income before considering the effects of current-year windfalls. See Note 7, Income Taxes, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1, Basis of Presentation, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report.

52

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our primary exposure to market risk is to changes in interest rates on our long-term debt. We use sensitivity analysis models to evaluate the impact of interest rate changes on these items.

Changes in interest rates have different impacts on the fixed and variable rate portions of our debt portfolio. A change in interest rates impacts the net fair value of our fixed rate debt but has no impact on interest expense or cash flows. Interest rate changes on variable rate debt impact our interest expense and cash flows, but do not impact the net fair value of the underlying debt instruments. Our fixed and variable rate debt (excluding capital lease obligations and other notes payable) as of September 30, 2012 is shown in the following table (in millions):

	As of September 30, 2012
	Carrying Amount		% of Total		Estimated Fair Value		% of Total
Fixed rate debt	$	1,209.6	100.0	%	$	1,308.8	100.0	%
Variable rate debt	—		—	%	—		—	%
Total long-term debt	$	1,209.6	100.0	%	$	1,308.8	100.0	%

As of September 30, 2012, our revolving credit facility is the only piece of our long-term debt that carries a variable interest rate. As discussed in Note 3, Long-term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), of this report, in September 2012, we completed a public offering of $275 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2024. We used $195 million of the net proceeds from this transaction to repay the amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Therefore, as of September 30, 2012, no variable rate debt was outstanding.

A 1% increase in interest rates would result in an approximate $45.2 million decrease in the estimated net fair value of our fixed rate debt, and a 1% decrease in interest rates would result in an approximate $40.2 million increase in its estimated net fair value.

Foreign operations, and the related market risks associated with foreign currencies, are currently, and have been, insignificant to our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our Internal Control over Financial Reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have a material effect on our Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following table summarizes our repurchases of equity securities during the three months ended September 30, 2012:

Period	Total Number of Shares (or Units) Purchased		Average Price Paid per Share (or Unit) ($)		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs(1)
July 1 through July 31, 2012	2,520	(2)	$	23.21	—	$	125,000,000
August 1 through August 31, 2012	—		—		—	125,000,000
September 1 through September 30, 2012	—		—		—	125,000,000
Total	2,520		23.21		—

⁽¹⁾  On October 27, 2011, we announced that our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $125 million of our

common stock. The repurchase authorization does not require the repurchase of a specific number of shares, has an indefinite term, and is subject to termination by our board of directors. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were no repurchases of our common stock under this authorization. For further discussion of this repurchase authorization and our authorization to repurchase convertible preferred stock and warrants, see the “Executive Overview – Stock Repurchase Authorization” section of Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this report.

⁽²⁾  These shares were purchased pursuant to previous elections by one or more members of our board of directors to participate in our Directors' Deferred Stock Investment Plan. This plan is a nonqualified deferral plan allowing nonemployee directors to make advance elections to defer a fixed percentage of their director fees. The plan administrator acquires the shares in the open market. The directors' rights to the shares are nonforfeitable, but the shares are only released to the directors after departure from our board.

Each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not permit any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit to occur unless it shall have given to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof required under paragraph (k) of this Section.

(c)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans; provided that (A) any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date shall be automatically extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not to a date later than the date set forth in clause (ii) above), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary by a specified time in advance of any such renewal; provided, further, that (1) the applicable Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension, or (2) in the event there is a Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, renew or extend any Letter of Credit to the extent (x) the Defaulting Lender's Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under the Letter of Credit may not be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(a) or (y) the Issuing Bank has not otherwise entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower (including pursuant to Section 2.21(b)) to eliminate the Issuing Bank's risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender's Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of such LC Disbursement; and (B) any Letter of Credit may expire after the applicable date referred to in clause (ii) above if such Letter of Credit is, no later than 30 days before the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans, cash collateralized in an amount and manner and pursuant to documentation approved in writing by the applicable Issuing Bank (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as the “Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit”).

(d)Participations. (i) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof or upon the Effective Date in the case of each Existing Letter of Credit) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender's Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender's Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this subparagraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a

44

Exhibit 10.1

Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subparagraph (i) above or in paragraph (e) below, in the event that on the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans any Letter of Credit shall be a Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit, then the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in, and no obligations with respect to, such Letter of Credit except to the extent of the LC Disbursements made thereunder on or prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to such Maturity Date.

(e)Reimbursement. (i) If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (A) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, or (B) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is not received prior to such time on any Business Day or is received on a day that is not a Business Day; provided that, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (A) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, or (B) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is not received prior to such time on any Business Day or is received on a day that is not a Business Day, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent requesting Revolving Lenders make Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans on such date in an amount in Dollars equal to such LC Disbursement, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.

(ii)If the Borrower fails to make any payment described in subparagraph (i) above with respect to a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender's Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice and in no event later than one Business Day following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Lenders to the Borrower (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatismutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this subparagraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower in respect of any LC Disbursement, and in any event within one Business Day thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this subparagraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving

45

Exhibit 10.1

Lender pursuant to this subparagraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower (or any other account party in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit) of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower's obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of an Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

46

Exhibit 10.1

(h)Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse or refinance such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at a rate per annum (computed in accordance with Section 2.13(e)) equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment (it being agreed that the rate at which such interest shall be deemed to accrue for the account of the Revolving Lenders shall correspond to the rate at which, pursuant to the next preceding sentence, interest accrues on the portion of the applicable unreimbursed LC Disbursement equal to the product of (x) the amount of such LC Disbursement and (y) the sum of the Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentages of all the Revolving Lenders).

(i)Termination of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may cease to be an Issuing Bank at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders of any such termination of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. After the termination of an Issuing Bank hereunder, such Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j)Additional Issuing Banks; Issuing Banks for Existing Letters of Credit. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and the designated Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an Issuing Bank under the terms of this Agreement, and any Lender so designated shall become an Issuing Bank hereunder. Each Lender identified as an issuer of any of the Existing Letters of Credit identified on Schedule 2.05 shall be an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit issued by such Lender; provided, however, that unless such Lender is Barclays Bank PLC or a Lender designated as an Issuing Bank in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, such Lender shall have no obligation to issue any additional Letters of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend any Existing Letter of Credit) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(k)Issuing Bank Reports. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amount thereof shall have changed), (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iii) on any Business Day on

47

Exhibit 10.1

which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding on such Business Day.

(l)Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of any Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 7.01. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower's risk and expense (provided that such cash collateral shall be invested solely in investments that provide for preservation of capital), such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposures representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to deposit cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower (i) within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or (ii) immediately after the payment and performance in full of all Obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

(m)Rights of Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank shall, to the extent applicable, have all of the benefits and immunities provided to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any actions taken or not taken by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Subject to Section 2.03, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the applicable Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by wire transfer of

48

Exhibit 10.1

immediately available funds to such account as provided in writing by the Borrower; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any such Borrowing (or any part thereof) to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b)To make an Interest Election Request pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.

(c)Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information:

(i)the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

49

Exhibit 10.1

(iii)whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

(d)Promptly, and in no event later than one Business Day, following receipt of an Interest Election Request the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments for a Class of Loans will terminate on the Maturity Date for such Class of Loans.

(b)The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans, the total Revolving Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(c)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce any Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, by delivering a Commitment Termination Notice to the Administrative Agent. Promptly and in no event later than one Business Day following receipt of any Commitment Termination Notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Lenders and each Issuing Bank of the contents thereof. Each Commitment Termination Notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a Commitment Termination Notice delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such Commitment Termination Notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

50

Exhibit 10.1

Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders of such Class in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender of any Class of Additional Tranche Term Loans the then unpaid principal amount of each Additional Tranche Term Loan of such Class as provided in the applicable Additional Tranche Term Loan Amendment and (iii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender and any applicable Revolving Lenders, all Swingline Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swingline Loans on the earlier of (x) the date which is 10 Business Days after the incurrence thereof and (y) the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments.

(b)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class, if applicable, and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.

(d)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be primafacie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans; Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section and payment of any amounts

51

Exhibit 10.1

required under Section 2.16; provided, that each such partial repayment shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.

(b)In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall promptly prepay Revolving Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c)In the event and on each occasion that (i) any Net Proceeds are received or held by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (c) of the definition of such term, within 10 Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, (ii)  any Net Proceeds are received or held by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of such term, within one Business Day after such Net Proceeds are received, and (iii) any proceeds are received or held by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (d) of the definition of such term, within 10 Business Days, the Borrower shall prepay Borrowings in accordance with and subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Applicable Prepayment Amount of such Net Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Prepayment Event referred to in clause (c) of the definition of such term, if the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of such Prepayment Event a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such Prepayment Event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 365 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire Syndicated Interests or real property, equipment or other assets to be used in the business of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Proceeds (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied by the end of the applicable time period (or committed to be applied by the end of the applicable time period and applied within 180 days after the end of the applicable time period), at which applicable time, a prepayment shall be required (to the extent not already made) in an amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Amount.

(d)All amounts required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be applied as follows: (i) first, to the prepayment of any Term Loan Borrowings (and ratably as between the Term Loan Borrowings of different Classes); except that amounts allocable to any Additional Tranche Term Loan Borrowings may be applied to other Term Loan Borrowings as provided in the applicable Additional Tranche Term Loan Amendment and (ii) second, after all Term Loan Borrowings have been repaid, to prepay Revolving Loan Borrowings (without a corresponding reduction in any Revolving Commitments and ratably as between the Revolving Loan Borrowings). Subject to the sequence of application with respect to mandatory prepayments set forth above, prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid, and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section.

(e)In connection with any prepayment or cash collateralization of Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrower shall deliver the Administrative Agent a Prepayment Notice (i) in the

52

Exhibit 10.1

case of a prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing or cash collateralization of a Letter of Credit, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or cash collateralization. Each Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment or cash collateralization date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment or cash collateralization, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment or cash collateralization; provided, that if a Prepayment Notice with respect to an optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional Commitment Termination Notice as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such Prepayment Notice may be revoked if such Commitment Termination Notice is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate, on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate; provided, that (i) any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall be payable by the Borrower so long as such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time of such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender and (ii) no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the last of the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lender and the portion of the LC Exposure of such Lender attributable to such its Revolving Commitment (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b)The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to the portion of the LC Exposure of such Lender attributable to its Revolving Commitment, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such portion of the LC Exposure of such Lender attributable to its Revolving Commitment (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on

Exhibit 10.1

which such Lender's Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the LC Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as each Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the LC Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the LC Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c)In addition to any of the foregoing fees, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such other fees (including administrative agency fees) payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d)All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to each Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any LC Disbursement or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, (ii) in the case of overdue unreimbursed amounts with respect to any LC Disbursement, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05 or (iii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the highest rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

54

Exhibit 10.1

(d)Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the applicable Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e)All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a)the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Lenders with a majority in principal amount of the Commitments or Loans of any Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders of such Class by as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders of such Class that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing of such Class to, or continuation of any Borrowing of such Class as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing of such Class, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank; or

(ii)impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

55

Exhibit 10.1

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, after receipt of the certificate provided by such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.15, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered in the amount set forth in the certificate of such Lender delivered pursuant to clause (c) below.

(b)If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then, after receipt of the certificate provided by such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.15, from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be prima facie evidence of such amounts. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270‑day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow,

56

Exhibit 10.1

convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(e) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall withhold or deduct an amount equal to such Taxes and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)Without limiting or duplicating the provisions of clause (a) above, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than those resulting from such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation and basis for such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

57

Exhibit 10.1

(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower and on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), including the following, if applicable and, in all cases, only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so: (i) duly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law, as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f)If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received, or is entitled to receive, a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall (i) pay over such refund, if received, to the Borrower or (ii) cooperate with the Borrower (at the Borrower's sole expense) to obtain a refund, if not received, of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and pay over such refund, when received, to the Borrower, but in each case only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

58

Exhibit 10.1

(g)If any Governmental Authority shall determine that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold any Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or any of its Related Parties (each a “Recipient”) (whether because such Recipient failed to deliver or to complete properly any form or to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that affected its exemption from withholding or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as a result of such determination, including any penalties or interest assessed by such Governmental Authority, and including Taxes imposed on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph, together with all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto.

(h)If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this paragraph, FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein shall be so made and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance

59

Exhibit 10.1

with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(d) or 2.05(e), 2.06(b) or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

60

Exhibit 10.1

(f)In the event that any financial statement or certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 shall prove to have been inaccurate (regardless of whether the Commitments are in effect or any Loans or Letters of Credit are outstanding when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy shall have resulted in the payment of any interest or fees at rates lower than those that were in fact applicable for any period (based on the Borrower's actual Leverage Ratio), then the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected financial statement or certificate, as the case may be, and pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders (or former Lenders) as their interests may appear, the accrued interest or fees that should have been paid but were not paid as a result of the inaccuracy of such financial statement or certificate (it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under Section 2.13(c) or Section 7.01).

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

SECTION 2.20. Additional Loans and Commitments. (a) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders or other financial institutions may on one or more occasions, and without the consent of any other Lender, amend this Agreement to provide for (i) new Additional Tranche Term Loans of such Lenders or other financial institutions of one or more additional Classes or (ii) an increase to the existing Revolving Commitments (any Lender or other financial institution making a new Additional Tranche Term Loan or extending a new Term Commitment or Revolving Commitment pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above being called an “Incremental Lender”); provided that (A) in the case of any Additional Tranche Term Loans established or any Additional Revolving Commitments established pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, the aggregate principal amount thereof shall not exceed, the Permitted Incremental Amount at such time, plus Additional Tranche Term Loans and Additional Revolving Commitments so long as after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis (assuming for purposes thereof that any Term Commitments and such Additional Revolving Commitments have been fully drawn), the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in compliance with a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of not greater than 2.00:1.00, (B) each Incremental Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an Incremental Lender establishing an Additional Revolving Commitment, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, (C) no Lender shall be required to participate in the Additional Tranche Term Loans or the Additional Revolving Commitments and (D) the aggregate principal amount of the new Additional Tranche Term Loans being established or the Additional Revolving Commitments being established on any one occasion pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000 (or shall equal the maximum amount of new Additional Tranche Term Loans or Additional Revolving

61

Exhibit 10.1

Commitments, as the case may be, at the time permitted to be made or established under clause (A) of this proviso).

(b)In connection with any new Class of Additional Tranche Term Loans established pursuant to clause (i) of paragraph (a) of this Section, the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Class of Additional Tranche Term Loans and the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver an amendment agreement (an “Additional Tranche Term Loan Amendment”) setting forth, to the extent applicable, the following terms of such Additional Tranche Term Loans: (i) the designation of such Class, which shall be specified by the Administrative Agent, (ii) the maturity or termination date applicable to the Additional Tranche Term Loans or Commitments of such Class, (iii) any amortization applicable to the Additional Tranche Term Loans of such Class, (iv) the interest rate or rates applicable to the Additional Tranche Term Loans of such Class, (v) the fees applicable to the Additional Tranche Term Loans or Commitments of such Class, (vi) any original issue discount applicable to Additional Tranche Term Loans or Commitments of such Class, (vii) the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable to Additional Tranche Term Loans or Commitments of such Class and (viii) any voluntary or mandatory prepayment requirements or Commitment reductions applicable to Additional Tranche Term Loans or Commitments of such Class (which, to the extent applicable, shall be consistent with Sections 2.08(b), 2.11(a) and 2.11(e)) and any restrictions on the voluntary or mandatory prepayment or reduction of Additional Tranche Term Loans or Commitments of Classes established after such Class, and implementing such additional amendments to this Agreement as shall be appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the foregoing terms and to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to the Additional Tranche Term Loans of such Class, and such amendment will be effective to amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on the terms set forth therein without the consent of any other Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender. Except as contemplated by the preceding sentence, the terms of each new Class of Additional Tranche Term Loans established under this Section shall be the same as those of the Term Loans existing at the time such new Class is established. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) except as provided in clauses (i) through (viii) above, no Additional Tranche Term Loan Amendment shall alter the rights of any Lender (other than the Incremental Lenders) in a manner that would not be permitted under Section 9.02 without the consent of such Lender unless such consent shall have been obtained, (ii) no Additional Tranche Term Loans shall (A) have a Maturity Date earlier than the Maturity Date of an outstanding Class of Term Loans without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority of the principal amount of the Term Loans of such Class or (B) have an average life to maturity shorter than the average life to maturity of an outstanding Class of Term Loans without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority of the principal amount of the Loans of such Class and (iii) if the initial yield on Eurodollar Term Loans (which shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and shall equal the sum of (x) the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such Additional Tranche Term Loans and (y) if such Additional Tranche Term Loans are initially made or established at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from the Borrower or any Subsidiary for making or establishing such Additional Tranche Term Loans (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of such Additional Tranche Term Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by four) exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to in each case as the “Yield Differential”), the Applicable Rate then in effect for Eurodollar Loans of the Term

62

Exhibit 10.1

Loans, then the Applicable Rate in effect for such Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the applicable Yield Differential, effective upon the making of new Additional Tranche Term Loans.

(c)In connection with any establishment of Additional Revolving Commitments pursuant to clause (ii) of paragraph (a) of this Section, the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Additional Revolving Commitments and the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver an agreement (an “Additional Revolving Commitment Amendment”) amending Schedule 2.01 to reflect such Additional Revolving Commitments and implementing such additional amendments to this Agreement as shall be appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to such Additional Revolving Commitments and the extensions of credit made pursuant thereto, and such amendment will be effective to amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on the terms set forth therein without the consent of any other Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender. The terms of any such Additional Revolving Commitments and the extensions of credit made pursuant thereto shall be identical to those of the other Revolving Commitments and the extensions of credit made pursuant thereto.

(d)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Additional Tranche Term Loan Amendment and each Additional Revolving Commitment Amendment.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no new Loans or Commitments shall be made or established under this Section (including through the conversion of existing Loans or Commitments) unless (i) on the date such Loans are made or the date such Commitments become effective, (x) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied, (y) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.01 both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such new Loans or Commitments, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates and documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date pursuant to Section 4.01.

(f)Upon the making of any Additional Tranche Term Loan or the effectiveness of any Additional Revolving Commitment of any Incremental Lender that is not already a Lender pursuant to this Section, such Incremental Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” (and a Lender in respect of Loans and Commitments of the applicable Class) hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Loans and Commitments of the applicable Class) hereunder and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Loans and Commitments of the applicable Class) hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the effectiveness of an Additional Revolving Commitment of any Incremental Lender, such Incremental Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, on the terms set forth in Section 2.05, participations in outstanding Letters of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender's Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage.

63

Exhibit 10.1

(g)Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all actions that it deems necessary or advisable to ensure that, after giving effect to any Additional Revolving Commitments established pursuant to clause (ii) of paragraph (a) of this Section, the outstanding Revolving Loans are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent (i) by requiring outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Borrowing, (ii) by permitting the Revolving Borrowings outstanding at the time of any increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section to remain outstanding until the last days of the respective Interest Periods therefor, even though the applicable Revolving Lenders would hold such Revolving Borrowings other than in accordance with their new Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentages, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment described in this paragraph shall be subject to Section 2.16, but otherwise shall be without premium or penalty.

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent there is an obligation of a Lender to acquire participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit at the time a Lender having a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(a)all or any part of such commitment to acquire participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent (i) the sum of the non-Defaulting Lenders' Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of the Revolving Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender's Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of Revolving Exposure do not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders' Revolving Commitments, (ii) the amount reallocated to any such non-Defaulting Lender shall not exceed such Lender's unutilized Revolving Commitment and (iii) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time;

(b)if the reallocation described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall (i) first, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, prepay any outstanding Swingline Loans to the extent the Swingline Loan Commitments related thereto have not been reallocated pursuant to clause (a) above and (ii) second, within five Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender's Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of the LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) for so long as such LC Commitment is outstanding; and

(c)if the Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage of the non-Defaulting Lenders' LC Exposure is reallocated pursuant to clause (a) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders' Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage.

SECTION 2.22. Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under 2.15 or

64

Exhibit 10.1

2.17, (ii) the circumstances which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrower's request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender and such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after the Borrower's request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 9.02, the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to one or more assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.04 and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from a Terminated Lender; provided, that (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.12; (2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non‑Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non‑Consenting Lender; provided, that the Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also the Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, the Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled or cash collateralized or supported by a backup letter of credit in each case on terms reasonably acceptable to such Terminated Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender's Revolving Commitment, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder arising with respect to events occurring prior to such termination shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 9.04. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.04 on behalf of a Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 9.04.

with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agent and the Joint Bookrunners shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents and all of the other benefits of this Section 8.01. Each of the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners, without consent of or notice to any party hereto, may assign any and all of its rights or obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents nor the Joint Bookrunners in their respective capacities as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Loan Party or any other Person.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.

The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agents shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances, as provided in Section 9.02) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions and shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agents shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) under or in connection with any Loan Document or (ii) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the

97

Exhibit 10.1

satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by them, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through its respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agents and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this paragraph and of Section 9.03 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Related Parties were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each such sub-agent appointed by an Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third-party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third-party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) of such sub-agent shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

Each Lender, in proportion to its Applicable Aggregate Percentage, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, to the extent that such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall not have been reimbursed by any Loan Party (and without limiting its obligation to do so), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,

98

Exhibit 10.1

expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent's, Issuing Bank's Swingline Lender's, as applicable gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender's Applicable Aggregate Revolving Percentage thereof; and provided, further, that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

The Administrative Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower and the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent's resignation shall become effective on the earlier of (i) the acceptance of such successor Administrative Agent by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or (ii) the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation. Upon any such notice of resignation, if a successor Administrative Agent has not already been appointed by the retiring Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days' notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower. If neither the Required Lenders nor the Administrative Agent have appointed a successor Administrative Agent, then the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided, that until a successor Administrative Agent is so appointed by Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, by notice to the Borrower and Required Lenders, may retain its role as the Collateral Agent under any Security Document. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring the Administrative Agent and the retiring the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held under the Security Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Security Documents, whereupon such retiring the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Except as provided above, any resignation of Barclays Bank or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall also constitute the resignation of Barclays Bank or its successor as the Collateral Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.01 shall inure to its benefit as

99

Exhibit 10.1

to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent hereunder. Any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this paragraph shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder. If Barclays Bank or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph has resigned as Administrative Agent but retained its role as Collateral Agent and no successor Collateral Agent has become the Collateral Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Barclays Bank or its successor may resign as Collateral Agent upon notice to the Borrower and Required Lenders at any time. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its respective Related Parties that at any time acted as a sub-agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

Any resignation of Barclays Bank or its successor as the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall also constitute the resignation of Barclays Bank or its successor as the Swingline Lender, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.01 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Swingline Lender for all purposes hereunder. In such event (a) the Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swingline Loans made by the retiring Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swingline Lender, (b) upon such prepayment, the retiring the Administrative Agent and Swingline Lender shall surrender any Swingline Note held by it to the Borrower for cancellation and (c) the Borrower shall issue, if so requested by the successor Administrative Agent and the Swingline Loan Lender, a new Swingline Note to the successor Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, in the principal amount of the Swingline Loan then in effect and with other appropriate insertions.

In addition to the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the Loan Parties. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution as Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower and the Required Lenders and the Collateral Agent's resignation shall become effective on the earlier of (a) the acceptance of such successor Collateral Agent by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or (b) the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, the successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Security Documents, and the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder or under the Security Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Security Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created under the Security Documents, whereupon such retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Security Documents. After any retiring Collateral Agent's resignation hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the

100

Exhibit 10.1

provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Security Documents while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption and funding its Loans or by the funding of any new Class of Additional Tranche Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Amendment Effective Date or as of the date of funding of such Additional Tranche Term Loans.

Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents; provided, that, except as expressly set forth herein, neither Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations. Subject to Section 9.02, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable may execute any documents or instruments (i) necessary to in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.02) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Subsidiary Loan Party from the Guarantee in accordance with Section 9.13 or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.02) have otherwise consented.

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, each Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled,

101

Exhibit 10.1

for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

No Swap Agreement shall create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Lender Counterparty that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Subsidiary Loan Party under the Loan Documents except as expressly provided in the Collateral and Guarantee Agreement. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, such Lender Counterparty shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable and obligations under Swap Agreements not yet due and payable) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired or been cancelled and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (or if any Letter of Credit remains outstanding, each such Letter of Credit shall have been backstopped or cash collateralized to the satisfaction of the Issuing Bank), upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender or any Lender Counterparty) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent

102

Exhibit 10.1

shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties (including fees, disbursements and other expenses of counsel) allowed in such judicial proceeding and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or other Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or other Secured Party to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of such Person or in any such proceeding.

104

Exhibit 10.1

Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)None of this Agreement, any Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (vi) release all or substantially all Subsidiary Loan Parties from their Guarantees under the Collateral and Guarantee Agreement (except as expressly provided in Section 9.13), limit their liability in respect of such Guarantees or amend Section 5.02 of the Collateral and Guarantee Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents without the written consent of each Lender or (viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of collateral or payments due to Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any Class differently than those holding Loans or

105

Exhibit 10.1

Commitments of any other Class without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if its rights or obligations are affected thereby, each Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender) if (x) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (y) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners named on the cover page of this Agreement (who shall be third party beneficiaries of the agreements contained in this Section 9.03) (collectively, the “Agent/Arranger Parties”) and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents and the charges of Intralinks/IntraAgency, Syntrak or another relevant website or other information platform, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of any Issuing Bank, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any such Person, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its or their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its or their rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations; provided that, in the case of reimbursement of counsel, the Borrower's obligations shall be limited to the reasonable fees, disbursement and other charges of one counsel for the Administrative Agent, one counsel to the Joint Bookrunners and one counsel to the other Lenders (as a group) and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for the Administrative Agent, the Joint Bookrunners and the other Lenders (as a group), and, in the case of actual or reasonably perceived conflicts of interest, where one or more of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Bookrunners and the other Lenders affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Person.

(B)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except that no such fee shall be payable in connection with an assignment by or to any Joint Bookrunner); provided that in the event of concurrent assignments to two or more assignees that are Affiliates of one another, or to two or more Approved Funds managed by the same investment advisor or by affiliated investment advisors, only one such fee shall be payable;

(E)in the case of an assignment by a Lender to a CLO (as defined below) managed by such Lender or by an Affiliate of such Lender, unless such assignment (or an assignment to a CLO managed by the same manager or an Affiliate of such manager) shall have been approved by the Borrower (the Borrower hereby agreeing that such approval, if requested, will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, except that the Assignment and Assumption between such Lender and such CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such CLO; and

(F)no assignment shall be made (1) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (2) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would

109

Exhibit 10.1

constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (E), or (3) to a natural person.

For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “CLO” have the following meanings:

“Approved Fund” means with respect to any Lender that is a fund which invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.

“CLO” means any entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and is administered or managed by a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender.

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount and any stated interest of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Banks and any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender's Loans), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any

110

Exhibit 10.1

written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(iii)Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States

111

Exhibit 10.1

Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.05(d) or 2.05(e). The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Section 8.01 and the last sentence of the definition of the term “Applicable Rate” shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among

112

Exhibit 10.1

the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, except that the provisions of any commitment and fee letters between the Borrower and the other Persons serving as Agents or named on the cover page of this Agreement that by the express terms of such commitment letter or fee letter are to survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be superseded hereby. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic submission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured or contingent or are owed to a branch or office of such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Lender different from the bank or office holding such deposit or obligated on such obligation. The rights of each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and such Lender may have.

Any such release shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent and shall not require the consent of any Lender.

Exhibit 10.1

SECTION 9.15. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

SECTION 9.16. Amendment of Security Documents; Intercreditor Agreement. The Lenders and the Issuing Banks acknowledge that obligations of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries under the Pari Passu Indebtedness and the Pari Passu Indebtedness Documents, and certain obligations related thereto, will be secured by Liens on assets of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries that constitute Pari Passu Indebtedness Collateral. At the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall enter into (a) such amendments as the Administrative Agent shall determine to be appropriate to the Security Documents to cause the Pari Passu Indebtedness to be secured on an equal and ratable basis with the other Obligations (as defined in the Collateral and Guarantee Agreement) and (b) the Intercreditor Agreement establishing the relative rights of the Secured Parties and of the secured parties under the Pari Passu Indebtedness with respect to the Pari Passu Indebtedness Collateral.

(i) FIRST, to the payment of all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such) pursuant to the terms of any First Lien Credit Document, including all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such sale, collection or other liquidation, or such other enforcement of rights or exercise of remedies (including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel);

priorities set forth in Section 2.01(a) or the provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the Secured Parties of any Class.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any First Lien Security Document to the contrary, LC Cash Collateral held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.05(l) or 2.11(d) of the Credit Agreement (or any equivalent successor provision) shall be applied as specified in such Section of the Credit Agreement (or such successor provision).

In the event an Impairment exists with respect to First Lien Obligations of any Class, the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the Secured Parties of such Class, and the rights of the Secured Parties of such Class (including the right to receive distributions in respect of First Lien Obligations of such Class pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the results of such Impairment are borne solely by the Secured Parties of such Class. In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event First Lien Obligations of any Class shall be subject to an Impairment in the form of an Intervening Lien of any Intervening Creditor, the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds that are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of First Lien Obligations of such Class. In addition, in the event the First Lien Obligations of any Class are modified pursuant to applicable law (including pursuant to Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code), any reference to the First Lien Obligations of such Class or the First Lien Documents of such Class shall refer to such obligations or such documents as so modified.

(c)Actions with Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on Certain Contests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the First Lien Credit Documents (other than this Agreement), (i) only the Collateral Agent shall, and shall have the right to, exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights, remedies and powers with respect to

[Exhibit C - Intercreditor Agreement]

Exhibit 10.1

the Shared Collateral, including any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon any Shared Collateral and any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral under any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement), and then only on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not be required, and shall not, follow any instructions or directions with respect to Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral) from any Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (or any other Secured Party, other than the Applicable Authorized Representative), it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any such instruction or direction by the Applicable Authorized Representative, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Collateral Agent to liability or be contrary to any First Lien Document or applicable law, and (iii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall, or shall instruct the Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, take any other action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or exercise any other right, remedy or power with respect to (including any right, remedy or power under any intercreditor agreement other than this Agreement) any Shared Collateral, whether under any First Lien Credit Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and in accordance with the applicable First Lien Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such rights, remedies and powers with respect to Shared Collateral. Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens established under Section 2.01(a), the Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative) may deal with the Shared Collateral as if such Applicable Authorized Representative had a senior Lien on such Collateral.

[Exhibit C - Intercreditor Agreement]

Exhibit 10.1

Secured Parties will raise any objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any such financing (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, in each case unless the Applicable Authorized Representative[, or any Controlling Secured Party,] shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or such use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Controlling Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the First Lien Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Secured Parties of such Class retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral subject to the DIP Financing Liens, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, with such Liens having the same priority with respect to Liens of the Secured Parties of any other Class (other than any Liens of the Secured Parties of such other Class constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Secured Parties of such Class are granted Liens on any additional collateral provided to the Secured Parties of any other Class as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with such Liens having the same priority with respect to Liens of the Secured Parties of any other Class (other than any Liens of the Secured Parties of such other Class constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any First Lien Obligations, such amount is applied in accordance with Section 2.01(b), and (D) if the Secured Parties of any Class are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied in accordance with Section 2.01(b); provided that the Secured Parties of each Class shall have a right to object to the grant, as security for the DIP Financing, of a Lien on any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Secured Parties of such Class or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided further that any Secured Party receiving adequate protection granted in connection with the DIP Financing or such use of cash collateral shall not object to any other Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any such adequate protection granted to such Secured Party.

(g)Reinstatement. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, all or part of any payment with respect to the First Lien Obligations of any Class previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law), then the terms and conditions of Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all the First Lien Obligations of such Class shall again have been paid in full in cash.

The First Lien Obligations of any Class may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of any Secured Party of any other Class, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall affect any limitation on any such Refinancing that is set forth in the First Lien Credit Documents of any such other Class; and providedfurther that, if any obligations of the Grantors in respect of such Refinancing indebtedness shall be secured by Liens on any Shared Collateral, then such obligations and the holders thereof shall be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed an Additional Authorized Representative Joinder Agreement.

(j)Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. The Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral that is part of the Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section. Pending delivery to the Collateral Agent, each Authorized Representative agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section.

The duties or responsibilities of the Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative under this Section shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Secured Parties therein.

Exhibit 10.1

request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the Authorized Representative of such Class and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided that if, notwithstanding such request, the Authorized Representative of the applicable Class shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Collateral Agent or Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of a Responsible Officer the Company. The Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any Secured Party or any other Person as a result of such determination or any action or not taken pursuant thereto.

4. Concerning the Collateral Agent

(a)Appointment and Authority. Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably appoints Barclays Bank PLC to act as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under each of the First Lien Security Documents, and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any Grantor to secure any of the First Lien Obligations, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, hereby grants to the Collateral Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any First Lien Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Secured Party's behalf.

Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that none of the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the First Lien Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations), in any manner that would maximize

[Exhibit C - Intercreditor Agreement]

Exhibit 10.1

the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, waives any claim they may now or hereafter have against the Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative or any Secured Party of any other Class arising out of (i) any actions that the Collateral Agent or any such Authorized Representative or Secured Party takes or omits to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale or other disposition, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the First Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the First Lien Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the First Lien Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the First Lien Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative or Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.06, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law by, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession.

Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Relates Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, upon any other obligations being designated hereunder as Additional First Lien Obligations or any other Person becoming an Additional Authorized Representative or any other Persons becoming Additional Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent will continue to act in its capacity as Collateral Agent in respect of the then existing Authorized Representatives and Secured Parties and such Additional Authorized Representative and Additional Secured Parties.

(b)Rights as a Secured Party.

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the First Lien Security Documents that the Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Applicable Authorized Representative; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any First Lien Security Document or applicable law;

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the First Lien Security Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its other Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Applicable Authorized Representative and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Collateral Agent shall notify each Authorized Representative and the Company that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the First Lien Security Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured

[Exhibit C - Intercreditor Agreement]

Exhibit 10.1

Parties under any First Lien Security Document, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral solely for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the security interests of the Secured Parties therein until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed but with no obligation to take any further action at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Secured Parties) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Authorized Representative directly, until such time as the Applicable Authorized Representative appoints a successor Collateral Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the First Lien Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the First Lien Security Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above).

[Exhibit C - Intercreditor Agreement]

Exhibit 10.1

The Company may, at any time and from time to time, subject to any limitations contained in the First Lien Credit Documents in effect at such time, designate additional indebtedness and related obligations that are, or are to be, secured by Liens on any assets of any of the Grantors that would, if such Liens were granted, constitute Shared Collateral as “Additional First Lien Obligations” by delivering to the Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative party hereto at such time a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company:

Investments in and Advances to Nonconsolidated Affiliates

Investments in and Advance to Affiliates, Subsidiaries, Associates, and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

Investments in and Advances to Nonconsolidated Affiliates

Investments in and Advances to Nonconsolidated Affiliates

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $20.9 million and $29.0 million, respectively, of investments in and advances to nonconsolidated affiliates included in Other long-term assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investments in and advances to nonconsolidated affiliates represent our investments in 13 partially owned subsidiaries, of which 9 are general or limited partnerships, limited liability companies, or joint ventures in which HealthSouth or one of its subsidiaries is a general or limited partner, managing member, member, or venturer, as applicable. We do not control these affiliates but have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of certain of these affiliates. Our ownership percentages in these affiliates range from approximately 1% to 51%. We account for these investments using the cost and equity methods of accounting.

The following summarizes the combined results of operations of our equity method affiliates (on a 100% basis, in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Net operating revenues	$	18.6		$	22.4		$	64.2		$	64.0
Operating expenses	(9.6		)	(13.3		)	(37.5		)	(39.1		)
Income from continuing operations, net of tax	7.1			7.0			21.5			19.6
Net income	7.1			7.0			21.5			19.6

During the third quarter of 2012, we negotiated with our partner to amend the joint venture agreement related to St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital which resulted in a change in accounting for this hospital from the equity method of accounting to a consolidated entity. The amendment revised certain participatory rights held by our joint venture partner resulting in HealthSouth gaining control of this entity from an accounting perspective. In accordance with the applicable guidance, we accounted for this change in control as a business combination and consolidated this entity using the acquisition method. The consolidation of St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. As a result of our consolidation of this hospital and the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest at fair value, goodwill increased by $15.6 million and we recorded a $4.9 million gain as part of Other income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

HealthSouth Corporation, incorporated in Delaware in 1984, including its subsidiaries, is the largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the United States. We operate inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and provide specialized rehabilitative treatment on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. References herein to “HealthSouth,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to HealthSouth Corporation and its subsidiaries unless otherwise stated or indicated by context.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HealthSouth Corporation and Subsidiaries should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in HealthSouth’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 23, 2012 (the “2011 Form 10-K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been omitted in these interim statements, as allowed by such SEC rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 has been derived from audited financial statements, but it does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods shown in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements recognize all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for each interim period presented.

Reclassifications—

Effective January 1, 2012, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2011-07, Healthcare Entities (Topic 954), "Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Healthcare Entities," which requires certain healthcare entities to present the provision for doubtful accounts relating to patient service revenue as a deduction from patient service revenue in the statement of operations rather than as an operating expense. All periods presented have been reclassified to conform to this presentation. Our adoption of this standard had no net impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

This standard also requires healthcare entities to provide enhanced disclosure about their policies for recognizing revenue and assessing bad debts, as well as qualitative and quantitative information about changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts. See the "Net Operating Revenues" and "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" sections of this note.

During the third quarter of 2012, we negotiated with our partner to amend the joint venture agreement related to St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital which resulted in a change in accounting for this hospital from the equity method of accounting to a consolidated entity. The amendment revised certain participatory rights held by our joint venture partner resulting in HealthSouth gaining control of this entity from an accounting perspective. See Note 2, Investments in and Advances to Nonconsolidated Affiliates.

Net Operating Revenues—

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we derived consolidated Net operating revenues from the following payor sources:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Medicare	73.1	%	72.0	%	73.1	%	71.8	%
Medicaid	1.4	%	1.6	%	1.3	%	1.7	%
Workers’ compensation	1.5	%	1.6	%	1.5	%	1.7	%
Managed care and other discount plans	19.1	%	20.0	%	19.4	%	19.8	%
Other third-party payors	2.0	%	1.9	%	1.8	%	2.0	%
Patients	1.4	%	1.3	%	1.4	%	1.2	%
Other income	1.5	%	1.6	%	1.5	%	1.8	%
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

We recognize net patient service revenues in the reporting period in which we perform the service based on our current billing rates (i.e., gross charges), less actual adjustments and estimated discounts for contractual allowances (principally for patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and managed care and other health plans). We record gross service charges in our accounting records on an accrual basis using our established rates for the type of service provided to the patient. We recognize an estimated contractual allowance to reduce gross patient charges to the amount we estimate we will actually realize for the service rendered based upon previously agreed to rates with a payor. Our patient accounting system calculates contractual allowances on a patient-by-patient basis based on the rates in effect for each primary third-party payor. Other factors that are considered and could further influence the level of our reserves include the patient’s total length of stay for in-house patients, each patient’s discharge destination, the proportion of patients with secondary insurance coverage and the level of reimbursement under that secondary coverage, and the amount of charges that will be disallowed by payors. Such additional factors are assumed to remain consistent with the experience for patients discharged in similar time periods for the same payor classes, and additional reserves are provided to account for these factors. Payors include federal and state agencies, including Medicare and Medicaid, managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, employers, and patients.

Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms that result from contract renegotiations and renewals. Due to complexities involved in determining amounts ultimately due under reimbursement arrangements with third-party payors, which are often subject to interpretation, we may receive reimbursement for healthcare services authorized and provided that is different from our estimates, and such differences could be material. In addition, laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex, subject to interpretation, and are routinely modified for provider reimbursement. All healthcare providers participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs are required to meet certain financial reporting requirements. Federal regulations require submission of annual cost reports covering medical costs and expenses associated with the services provided by each hospital to program beneficiaries. Annual cost reports required under the Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to routine audits, which may result in adjustments to the amounts ultimately determined to be due to HealthSouth under these reimbursement programs. These audits often require several years to reach the final determination of amounts earned under the programs. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments, we may be exposed to gains or losses that could be material.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") has been granted authority to suspend payments, in whole or in part, to Medicare providers if CMS possesses reliable information an overpayment, fraud, or willful misrepresentation exists. If CMS suspects payments are being made as the result of fraud or misrepresentation, CMS may suspend payment at any time without providing prior notice to us. The initial suspension period is limited to 180 days. However, the payment suspension period can be extended almost indefinitely if the matter is under investigation by the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (the "HHS-OIG") or the United States Department of Justice. Therefore, we are unable to predict if or when we may be subject to a suspension of payments by the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs, the possible length of the suspension period, or the potential cash flow impact of a payment suspension. Any such suspension would adversely impact our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—

We provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible by establishing an allowance to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made by means of the Provision for doubtful accounts. We write off uncollectible accounts (after exhausting collection efforts) against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Subsequent recoveries are recorded via the Provision for doubtful accounts.

The collection of outstanding receivables from Medicare, managed care payors, other third-party payors, and patients is our primary source of cash and is critical to our operating performance. While it is our policy to verify insurance prior to a patient being admitted, there are various exceptions that can occur. Such exceptions include instances where we are (1) unable to obtain verification because the patient's insurance company was unable to be reached or contacted, (2) a determination is made that a patient may be eligible for benefits under various government programs, such as Medicaid, and it takes several days, weeks, or months before qualification for such benefits is confirmed or denied, and (3) the patient is transferred to our hospital from an acute care hospital without having access to a credit card, cash, or check to pay the applicable patient responsibility amounts (i.e., deductibles and co-payments). Based on our historical collection trends, our primary collection risks relate to patient accounts for which the patient was the primary payor or the primary insurance carrier has paid the amounts covered by the applicable agreement, but patient responsibility amounts remain outstanding. Changes in the economy, such as increased unemployment rates or periods of recession, can further exacerbate our ability to collect patient responsibility amounts.

We estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of our accounts receivable, our historical collection experience for each type of payor, and other relevant factors so that the remaining receivables, net of allowances, are reflected at their estimated net realizable values. Accounts requiring collection efforts are reviewed via system-generated work queues that automatically stage (based on age and size of outstanding balance) accounts requiring collection efforts for patient account representatives. Collection efforts include contacting the applicable party (both in writing and by telephone), providing information (both financial and clinical) to allow for payment or to overturn payor decisions to deny payment, and arranging payment plans with self-pay patients, among other techniques. When we determine all in-house efforts have been exhausted or it is a more prudent use of resources, accounts may be turned over to a collection agency. Accounts are written off after all collection efforts (internal and external) have been exhausted.

We have experienced denials of certain diagnosis codes by Medicare contractors based on medical necessity. We dispute, or "appeal," most of these denials, and we have historically collected approximately 58% of all amounts denied. The resolution of these disputes can take in excess of one year, and we cannot provide assurance as to our ongoing and future success of these disputes. As such, we make provisions against these receivables in accordance with our accounting policy that necessarily considers the age and historical collection trends of the receivables in this review process as part of our Provision for doubtful accounts. Because we do not write-off receivables until all collection efforts have been exhausted, we do not write-off receivables related to denied claims while they are in this review process. When the amount collected related to denied claims differs from the net amount previously recorded, these collection differences are recorded in the Provision for doubtful accounts. As a result, the timing of these denials by Medicare contractors and their subsequent collection can create volatility in our Provision for doubtful accounts.

If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments, we may be exposed to gains or losses that could be material. Changes in general economic conditions, business office operations, payor mix, or trends in federal or state governmental and private employer healthcare coverage could affect our collection of accounts receivable, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Share-Based Payments—

In February and May 2012, we issued 0.9 million and 0.2 million, respectively, of restricted stock awards to members of our management team and our board of directors. Approximately 0.6 million of these awards contain only a service condition, while the remainder contain both a service and a performance condition. For the awards that include a performance condition, the number of shares that will ultimately be granted to employees may vary based on the Company’s performance during the applicable two-year performance measurement period. Additionally, in February 2012, we granted 0.2 million stock options to members of our management team. The fair value of these awards and options was determined using the policies described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 16, Share-Based Payments, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

We use the with-and-without method to determine when we will recognize excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. Under this method, we recognize these excess tax benefits only after we fully realize the tax benefits of net operating losses. See Note 7, Income Taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended its guidance to clarify its intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The primary impact to us resulted from additional disclosure requirements included in the amended guidance, including the requirements to categorize by level of the fair value hierarchy items not measured at fair value in our balance sheet but for which fair value is required to be disclosed. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2012. Our adoption of this standard primarily impacted our fair value disclosures related to our long-term debt and had no impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 6, Fair Value Measurements.

See also the "Reclassifications" section of this note.

Since the filing of the 2011 Form 10-K, we do not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Condensed Consolidating Financial Information [Abstract]

Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

The accompanying condensed consolidating financial information has been prepared and presented pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10, “Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered.” Each of the subsidiary guarantors is 100% owned by HealthSouth, and all guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, subject to certain customary conditions for release. HealthSouth’s investments in its consolidated subsidiaries, as well as guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in nonguarantor subsidiaries and nonguarantor subsidiaries’ investments in guarantor subsidiaries, are presented under the equity method of accounting with the related investment presented within the line item Intercompany receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidating balance sheets.

As described in Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K, the terms of our credit agreement restrict us from declaring or paying cash dividends on our common stock unless: (1) we are not in default under our credit agreement and (2) the amount of the dividend, when added to the aggregate amount of certain other defined payments made during the same fiscal year, does not exceed certain maximum thresholds. However, as described in Note 11, Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K, our preferred stock generally provides for the payment of cash dividends, subject to certain limitations.

In the third quarter of 2012, we revised our condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to adjust cash flows from operating activities to eliminate equity in earnings from affiliates, which is a noncash activity. The impact of this revision, along with other immaterial classification revisions, was to decrease cash flows from operating activities (and, correspondingly increase cash flows fromfinancing activities) for HealthSouth Corporation, Guarantor Subsidiaries, and Nonguarantor Subsidiaries by $196.6 million, $11.1 million, and $3.0 million, respectively, with an offset to Eliminating Entries. This revision is not material to the related financial statements for any prior periods and had no impact on our consolidated statements of cash flows. As prior period financial information is presented in future filings, we will similarly revise the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows.

During the third quarter of 2012, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of HealthSouth made a dividend or distribution of available cash, including intercompany receivable balances, to their parents. These dividends and distributions impacted the Intercompany receivable and HealthSouth shareholders' equity (deficit) line items in the accompanying condensed consolidating balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 but had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of HealthSouth Corporation. Historically, regular dividends or distributions of available cash, including intercompany receivable balances resulting from HealthSouth's routine sweeps of the cash balances under cash management arrangements at wholly owned subsidiaries, have not been made by HealthSouth's wholly owned subsidiaries to their parents. Going forward, we intend to make such dividends and distributions periodically.

Net Operating Revenues Policy

Net Operating Revenues—

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we derived consolidated Net operating revenues from the following payor sources:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Medicare	73.1	%	72.0	%	73.1	%	71.8	%
Medicaid	1.4	%	1.6	%	1.3	%	1.7	%
Workers’ compensation	1.5	%	1.6	%	1.5	%	1.7	%
Managed care and other discount plans	19.1	%	20.0	%	19.4	%	19.8	%
Other third-party payors	2.0	%	1.9	%	1.8	%	2.0	%
Patients	1.4	%	1.3	%	1.4	%	1.2	%
Other income	1.5	%	1.6	%	1.5	%	1.8	%
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

We recognize net patient service revenues in the reporting period in which we perform the service based on our current billing rates (i.e., gross charges), less actual adjustments and estimated discounts for contractual allowances (principally for patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and managed care and other health plans). We record gross service charges in our accounting records on an accrual basis using our established rates for the type of service provided to the patient. We recognize an estimated contractual allowance to reduce gross patient charges to the amount we estimate we will actually realize for the service rendered based upon previously agreed to rates with a payor. Our patient accounting system calculates contractual allowances on a patient-by-patient basis based on the rates in effect for each primary third-party payor. Other factors that are considered and could further influence the level of our reserves include the patient’s total length of stay for in-house patients, each patient’s discharge destination, the proportion of patients with secondary insurance coverage and the level of reimbursement under that secondary coverage, and the amount of charges that will be disallowed by payors. Such additional factors are assumed to remain consistent with the experience for patients discharged in similar time periods for the same payor classes, and additional reserves are provided to account for these factors. Payors include federal and state agencies, including Medicare and Medicaid, managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, employers, and patients.

Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms that result from contract renegotiations and renewals. Due to complexities involved in determining amounts ultimately due under reimbursement arrangements with third-party payors, which are often subject to interpretation, we may receive reimbursement for healthcare services authorized and provided that is different from our estimates, and such differences could be material. In addition, laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex, subject to interpretation, and are routinely modified for provider reimbursement. All healthcare providers participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs are required to meet certain financial reporting requirements. Federal regulations require submission of annual cost reports covering medical costs and expenses associated with the services provided by each hospital to program beneficiaries. Annual cost reports required under the Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to routine audits, which may result in adjustments to the amounts ultimately determined to be due to HealthSouth under these reimbursement programs. These audits often require several years to reach the final determination of amounts earned under the programs. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments, we may be exposed to gains or losses that could be material.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") has been granted authority to suspend payments, in whole or in part, to Medicare providers if CMS possesses reliable information an overpayment, fraud, or willful misrepresentation exists. If CMS suspects payments are being made as the result of fraud or misrepresentation, CMS may suspend payment at any time without providing prior notice to us. The initial suspension period is limited to 180 days. However, the payment suspension period can be extended almost indefinitely if the matter is under investigation by the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (the "HHS-OIG") or the United States Department of Justice. Therefore, we are unable to predict if or when we may be subject to a suspension of payments by the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs, the possible length of the suspension period, or the potential cash flow impact of a payment suspension. Any such suspension would adversely impact our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Policy

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—

We provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible by establishing an allowance to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made by means of the Provision for doubtful accounts. We write off uncollectible accounts (after exhausting collection efforts) against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Subsequent recoveries are recorded via the Provision for doubtful accounts.

The collection of outstanding receivables from Medicare, managed care payors, other third-party payors, and patients is our primary source of cash and is critical to our operating performance. While it is our policy to verify insurance prior to a patient being admitted, there are various exceptions that can occur. Such exceptions include instances where we are (1) unable to obtain verification because the patient's insurance company was unable to be reached or contacted, (2) a determination is made that a patient may be eligible for benefits under various government programs, such as Medicaid, and it takes several days, weeks, or months before qualification for such benefits is confirmed or denied, and (3) the patient is transferred to our hospital from an acute care hospital without having access to a credit card, cash, or check to pay the applicable patient responsibility amounts (i.e., deductibles and co-payments). Based on our historical collection trends, our primary collection risks relate to patient accounts for which the patient was the primary payor or the primary insurance carrier has paid the amounts covered by the applicable agreement, but patient responsibility amounts remain outstanding. Changes in the economy, such as increased unemployment rates or periods of recession, can further exacerbate our ability to collect patient responsibility amounts.

We estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of our accounts receivable, our historical collection experience for each type of payor, and other relevant factors so that the remaining receivables, net of allowances, are reflected at their estimated net realizable values. Accounts requiring collection efforts are reviewed via system-generated work queues that automatically stage (based on age and size of outstanding balance) accounts requiring collection efforts for patient account representatives. Collection efforts include contacting the applicable party (both in writing and by telephone), providing information (both financial and clinical) to allow for payment or to overturn payor decisions to deny payment, and arranging payment plans with self-pay patients, among other techniques. When we determine all in-house efforts have been exhausted or it is a more prudent use of resources, accounts may be turned over to a collection agency. Accounts are written off after all collection efforts (internal and external) have been exhausted.

We have experienced denials of certain diagnosis codes by Medicare contractors based on medical necessity. We dispute, or "appeal," most of these denials, and we have historically collected approximately 58% of all amounts denied. The resolution of these disputes can take in excess of one year, and we cannot provide assurance as to our ongoing and future success of these disputes. As such, we make provisions against these receivables in accordance with our accounting policy that necessarily considers the age and historical collection trends of the receivables in this review process as part of our Provision for doubtful accounts. Because we do not write-off receivables until all collection efforts have been exhausted, we do not write-off receivables related to denied claims while they are in this review process. When the amount collected related to denied claims differs from the net amount previously recorded, these collection differences are recorded in the Provision for doubtful accounts. As a result, the timing of these denials by Medicare contractors and their subsequent collection can create volatility in our Provision for doubtful accounts.

If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments, we may be exposed to gains or losses that could be material. Changes in general economic conditions, business office operations, payor mix, or trends in federal or state governmental and private employer healthcare coverage could affect our collection of accounts receivable, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Share-Based Payments Policy

Share-Based Payments—

In February and May 2012, we issued 0.9 million and 0.2 million, respectively, of restricted stock awards to members of our management team and our board of directors. Approximately 0.6 million of these awards contain only a service condition, while the remainder contain both a service and a performance condition. For the awards that include a performance condition, the number of shares that will ultimately be granted to employees may vary based on the Company’s performance during the applicable two-year performance measurement period. Additionally, in February 2012, we granted 0.2 million stock options to members of our management team. The fair value of these awards and options was determined using the policies described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 16, Share-Based Payments, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

We use the with-and-without method to determine when we will recognize excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. Under this method, we recognize these excess tax benefits only after we fully realize the tax benefits of net operating losses. See Note 7, Income Taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended its guidance to clarify its intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The primary impact to us resulted from additional disclosure requirements included in the amended guidance, including the requirements to categorize by level of the fair value hierarchy items not measured at fair value in our balance sheet but for which fair value is required to be disclosed. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2012. Our adoption of this standard primarily impacted our fair value disclosures related to our long-term debt and had no impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 6, Fair Value Measurements.

See also the "Reclassifications" section of this note.

Since the filing of the 2011 Form 10-K, we do not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Guarantees [Abstract]

Guarantees

Guarantees

Primarily in conjunction with the sale of certain facilities, including the sale of our surgery centers, outpatient, and diagnostic divisions during 2007, HealthSouth assigned, or remained as a guarantor on, the leases of certain properties to certain purchasers and, as a condition of the lease, agreed to act as a guarantor of the purchaser’s performance on the lease. Should the purchaser fail to pay the obligations due on these leases, the lessor would have contractual recourse against us.

As of September 30, 2012, we were secondarily liable for 11 such guarantees. The remaining terms of these guarantees ranged from one month to 54 months. If we were required to perform under all such guarantees, the maximum amount we would be required to pay approximated $11.1 million.

We have not recorded a liability for these guarantees, as we do not believe it is probable we will have to perform under these agreements. If we are required to perform under these guarantees, we could potentially have recourse against the purchaser for recovery of any amounts paid. In addition, the purchasers of our surgery centers, outpatient, and diagnostic divisions have agreed to seek releases from the lessors in favor of HealthSouth with respect to the guarantee obligations associated with these divestitures. To the extent the purchasers of these divisions are unable to obtain releases for HealthSouth, the purchasers remain obligated under the terms of the applicable purchase agreements to indemnify HealthSouth for damages incurred under the guarantee obligations, if any. These guarantees are not secured by any assets under the agreements.

Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock

The following is a summary of the activity related to our Convertible perpetual preferred stock from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012 (in millions, except share data):

	Number of Shares Outstanding		Amount
Balance as of December 31, 2011	400,000		$	387.4
Repurchase of preferred stock	(46,645	)	(45.2		)
Balance as of September 30, 2012	353,355		$	342.2

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we repurchased 46,645 shares of our 6.50% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock for total cash consideration of $46.5 million, including fees. No common stock was issued as part of these transactions. The allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in millions):

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2012
Carrying value of shares repurchased	$	45.2
Cumulative dividends paid as part of purchase price	0.5
Excess paid in transaction	0.8
	$	46.5

The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid to the holders of the preferred stock, or $46.5 million, and the carrying value of the preferred stock in our balance sheet, or $45.2 million, resulted in a charge of $1.3 million to Capital in excess of par value that was treated like a dividend and subtracted from Net income to arrive at Net income attributable to HealthSouth common shareholders in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Of this amount, $0.5 million represents cumulative dividends through the date of the repurchase transactions.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, accrued dividends of $5.7 million and $6.5 million, respectively, were included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These accrued dividends were paid in October 2012 and January 2012, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per Common Share

The calculation of earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding during the applicable period. The calculation for diluted earnings per common share recognizes the effect of all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the respective periods, unless their impact would be antidilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (in millions, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	108.1			109.2			108.2			109.1
Basic and diluted earnings per common share:
Income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth common shareholders	$	0.44		$	0.17		$	1.23		$	0.90
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, attributable to HealthSouth common shareholders	—			0.37			0.03			0.59
Net income attributable to HealthSouth common shareholders	$	0.44		$	0.54		$	1.26		$	1.49

Diluted earnings per share report the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. These potential shares include dilutive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and convertible perpetual preferred stock. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the number of potential shares approximated 13.4 million and 13.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the number of potential shares approximated 15.9 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 11.6 million and 12.2 million of the potential shares, respectively, related to our Convertible perpetual preferred stock. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, approximately 13.1 million of the potential shares related to our Convertible perpetual preferred stock. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts are the same due to rounding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, adding back the dividends for the Convertible perpetual preferred stock to our Income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth common shareholders causes a per share increase when calculating diluted earnings per common share resulting in an anti-dilutive per share amount. Therefore, basic and diluted earnings per common share are the same for all periods presented.

Options to purchase approximately 1.8 million and 1.1 million shares of common stock were outstanding as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted-average shares because to do so would have been antidilutive.

See Note 4, Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, to these financial statements and Note 11, Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, and Note 20, Earnings per Common Share, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K for additional information related to common stock, common stock warrants, and convertible perpetual preferred stock.

(1)The three valuation techniques are: market approach (M), cost approach (C), and income approach (I).

In addition to assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, we are also required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges or similar adjustments made to the carrying value of the applicable assets.

As a result of our consolidation of St. Vincent Rehabilitation Hospital and the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest at fair value, we recorded a $4.9 million gain as part of Other income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. We determined the fair value of our previously held equity interest using valuation techniques that included the income approach and a third-party appraisal. The income approach included the use of the hospital's projected operating results and cash flows discounted using a rate that reflects market participant assumptions for the hospital. The projected operating results use management's best estimates of economic and market conditions over the forecasted period including assumptions for pricing and volume, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we did not record a gain or loss related to our nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis as part of our continuing operations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded impairment charges of $4.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively, as part of our results of discontinued operations. These charges related to a hospital that was closed in 2011 and one that was closed in 2008. We determined the fair value of the impaired long-lived assets at the hospitals based on the assets’ estimated fair value using valuation techniques that included third-party appraisals and offers from potential buyers.

As discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K, the carrying value equals fair value for our financial instruments that are not included in the table below and are classified as current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Our Provision for income tax expense of $28.1 million and $84.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 included the following: (1) estimated income tax expense of approximately $30 million and $86 million, respectively, based on the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate of approximately 39% to our pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth offset by (2) an approximate $1 million reduction in our valuation allowance associated with certain capital loss carryforwards, as discussed below, and (3) an approximate $1 million reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements with taxing authorities and the lapse of applicable statutes of limitation for certain state matters.

We have significant federal and state net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") that expire in various amounts at varying times through 2031. Our utilization of our federal NOL could be subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”) and may be limited in the event of certain cumulative changes in ownership interests of significant stockholders over a three-year period in excess of 50%. Section 382 imposes an annual limitation on the use of these losses to an amount equal to the value of a company at the time of an ownership change multiplied by the long-term tax exempt rate. At this time, we do not believe these limitations will restrict our ability to use our federal NOL before it expires. However, no such assurances can be provided.

The $553.1 million of net deferred tax assets included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 ($26.6 million included in Other current assets) reflects management’s assessment it is more likely than not we will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize those deferred tax assets based on our current estimates and assumptions. As of September 30, 2012, we maintained a valuation allowance of $49.1 million due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize a portion of our deferred tax assets, primarily related to state NOLs, before they expire. During the third quarter of 2012, we reduced our valuation allowance associated with certain capital loss carryforwards by $1 million primarily as a result of capital gains generated by legal entity restructuring activities at one of our subsidiaries. The amount of the valuation allowance has been determined for each tax jurisdiction based on the weight of all available evidence including management’s estimates of taxable income for each jurisdiction in which we operate over the periods in which the related deferred tax assets will be recoverable. It is possible we may be required to increase or decrease our valuation allowance at some future time if our forecast of future earnings varies from actual results on a consolidated basis or in the applicable state tax jurisdictions, or if the timing of future tax deductions differs from our expectations.

Our NOLs exclude approximately $8.3 million related to operating loss carryforwards resulting from excess tax benefits related to share-based awards, the tax benefits of which, when recognized, will be accounted for as a credit to Capital in excess of par value in the period they reduce taxes payable.

Our Provision for income tax expense of $18.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included the following: (1) estimated income tax expense of approximately $16 million based on the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate of approximately 40% to our pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth and (2) approximately $4 million of estimated income tax expense primarily associated with federal income tax on state income tax refunds received offset by (3) approximately $2 million of income tax benefit associated with a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements with state taxing authorities and the corresponding receipt of interest income on these refunds.

Our Provision for income tax expense of $21.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included the following: (1) estimated income tax expense of approximately $50 million based on the application of our estimated effective blended federal and state income tax rate of approximately 40% to our pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to HealthSouth and (2) approximately $4 million of estimated income tax expense primarily associated with federal income tax on state income tax refunds received offset by (3) the settlement of federal income tax claims with the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 2007 and 2008 which resulted in an income tax benefit of approximately $24 million and (4) other items, primarily related to a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations for certain federal and state claims, which resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $8 million.

We recognize the financial statement effects of uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, a position will be sustained upon examination by and resolution with the taxing authorities. Total remaining gross unrecognized tax benefits were $79.0 million and $6.0 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, all of which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. The amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits changed during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily based on ongoing discussions with taxing authorities as part of our continued pursuit of the maximization of our tax benefits, primarily related to our federal NOL, as discussed below. In October 2012, we submitted additional net positive claims to the IRS. Because these claims were determined and submitted to the IRS after the balance sheet date, they are not included in the gross unrecognized income tax benefits reconciliation presented below.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions):

	Gross Unrecognized Income Tax Benefits			Accrued Interest and Penalties
Balance at December 31, 2011	$	6.0		$	0.1
Gross amount of increases in unrecognized tax benefits related to prior periods	74.1			—
Decreases in unrecognized tax benefits relating to settlements with taxing authorities	(0.7		)	—
Reductions to unrecognized tax benefits as a result of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations	(0.4		)	(0.1		)
Balance at September 30, 2012	$	79.0		$	—

Our continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Net interest income recorded as part of our income tax provision during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was not material. Accrued interest income related to income taxes as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was not material.

HealthSouth and its subsidiaries’ federal and state income tax returns are periodically examined by various regulatory taxing authorities. In connection with such examinations, we have settled federal income tax examinations with the IRS for all tax years through 2008. We are currently under audit by the IRS for the 2009 and 2010 tax years and by one state for tax years 2007 and 2008.

For the tax years that remain open under the applicable statutes of limitations, amounts related to unrecognized tax benefits have been considered by management in its estimate of our potential net recovery of prior years’ income taxes. However, at this time, we cannot estimate a range of the reasonably possible change that may occur.

In addition, we continue to actively pursue, through ongoing discussions with taxing authorities, the maximization of our income tax benefits, primarily related to our federal NOL. As part of our pursuit of these benefits, we requested a pre-filing agreement with the IRS, the primary purpose of which was to consider whether certain amounts related to the restatement of our financial statements for periods prior to 2003 result in net increases to our federal NOL and adjustments to other tax attributes. The pre-filing agreement program permits taxpayers to resolve certain tax issues in advance of filing their corporate income tax returns. Due to the unique nature of our claims and uncertainties around this process, we did not recognize any amounts associated with our request as of September 30, 2012. In July 2012, the IRS granted our request to utilize the pre-filing agreement process. Depending upon the process undertaken by the IRS to audit and settle these matters, the accounting recognition criteria for these positions could be met either in part or in total as the process continues or upon completion of the process. Therefore, as we continue this process with the IRS, it is reasonably possible that over the next twelve-month period we may experience an increase or decrease to our unrecognized tax benefits, our NOLs, other tax attributes, or any combination thereof that could have a material net favorable impact on income tax expense and our effective income tax rate. Due to the aforementioned uncertainties regarding the outcome of this process, it is not possible to determine the range of any impact at this time.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Contingencies

Contingencies

We operate in a highly regulated and litigious industry. As a result, various lawsuits, claims, and legal and regulatory proceedings have been and can be expected to be instituted or asserted against us. The resolution of any such lawsuits, claims, or legal and regulatory proceedings could materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in a given period.

Derivative Litigation—

All lawsuits purporting to be derivative complaints filed in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama since 2002 have been consolidated and stayed in favor of the first-filed action captioned Tucker v. Scrushy and filed August 28, 2002. Derivative lawsuits in other jurisdictions have been stayed. The Tucker complaint asserted claims on our behalf against, among others, a number of our former officers and directors and Ernst & Young LLP, our former auditor. When originally filed, the primary allegations in the Tucker case involved self-dealing by Richard M. Scrushy, our former chairman and chief executive officer, and other insiders through transactions with various entities allegedly controlled by Mr. Scrushy. The complaint was amended four times to add additional defendants and include claims of accounting fraud, improper Medicare billing practices, and additional self-dealing transactions. The Tucker derivative litigation, including a $2.9 billion judgment against Mr. Scrushy, and the related settlements to date are more fully described in “Litigation Against Richard M. Scrushy” and “Litigation By and Against Former Independent Auditor” below and in Note 21, Settlements, “UBS Litigation Settlement,” and Note 22, Contingencies and Other Commitments, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.

Litigation Against Richard M. Scrushy—

On June 18, 2009, the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama ruled in the Tucker case on our derivative claims against Mr. Scrushy presented during a nonjury trial held May 11 to May 26, 2009. The court held Mr. Scrushy responsible for fraud and breach of fiduciary duties and awarded us $2.9 billion in damages. On July 24, 2009, Mr. Scrushy filed a notice of appeal of the trial court’s decision, and the parties subsequently submitted their briefs to the Supreme Court of Alabama. On January 28, 2011, the Supreme Court upheld the trial court’s decision in its entirety. On April 15, 2011, the Alabama Supreme Court denied Mr. Scrushy's application for a rehearing of its initial decision.

We will pursue collection aggressively and to the fullest extent permitted by law. We, in coordination with derivative plaintiffs' counsel, are attempting to locate, in order to collect the judgment, Mr. Scrushy's current assets and other assets we believe were improperly disposed. Part of this effort is a fraudulent transfer complaint filed on July 2, 2009 against Mr. Scrushy and a number of related entities by derivative plaintiffs for the benefit of HealthSouth in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, captioned Tucker v. Scrushy et al. While these collection efforts continue, some of Mr. Scrushy’s assets have been seized and sold at auction pursuant to the state law procedure for collection of a judgment. Other assets will likewise be sold from time to time. On May 3, 2011, the Circuit Court of Jefferson County entered an order for distribution of amounts collected and liquidated. After reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by HealthSouth and the attorneys for the derivative shareholder plaintiffs for property maintenance of and fees incurred to locate Mr. Scrushy's assets and after recording a liability for the federal plaintiffs' 25% apportionment of any net recovery from Mr. Scrushy as required in our consolidated securities action settlement, we recorded a $12.3 million net gain in Government, class action, and related settlements in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 in connection with our receipt of cash distributions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a $3.5 million net gain in Government, class action, and related settlements in our consolidated statement of operations in connection with our receipt of additional cash distributions.

For further discussion of our consolidated securities action settlement that previously resolved claims brought against us by former stockholders and bondholders, see Note 21, Settlements, "Securities Litigation Settlement" to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K. We are obligated to pay 35% of any recovery from Mr. Scrushy along with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses to the attorneys for the derivative shareholder plaintiffs. In connection with those obligations, during 2011, $5.2 million of the amounts previously collected were distributed to attorneys for the derivative shareholder plaintiffs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, an additional $1.4 million of the amounts collected were distributed to attorneys for the derivative shareholder plaintiffs. We recorded these cash distributions as part of Professional fees—accounting, tax, and legal in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Litigation By and Against Former Independent Auditor—

In March 2003, claims on behalf of HealthSouth were brought in the Tucker derivative litigation against Ernst & Young, alleging that from 1996 through 2002, when Ernst & Young served as our independent auditor, Ernst & Young acted recklessly and with gross negligence in performing its duties, and specifically that Ernst & Young failed to perform reviews and audits of our financial statements with due professional care as required by law and by its contractual agreements with us. The claims further allege Ernst & Young either knew of or, in the exercise of due care, should have discovered and investigated the fraudulent and improper accounting practices being directed by certain officers and employees, and should have reported them to our board of directors and the audit committee. The claims seek compensatory and punitive damages, disgorgement of fees received from us by Ernst & Young, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On March 18, 2005, Ernst & Young filed a lawsuit captioned Ernst & Young LLP v. HealthSouth Corp. in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama. The complaint alleges we provided Ernst & Young with fraudulent management representation letters, financial statements, invoices, bank reconciliations, and journal entries in an effort to conceal accounting fraud. Ernst & Young claims that as a result of our actions, Ernst & Young’s reputation has been injured and it has and will incur damages, expenses, and legal fees. On April 1, 2005, we answered Ernst & Young’s claims and asserted counterclaims related or identical to those asserted in the Tucker action. Upon Ernst & Young’s motion, the Alabama state court referred Ernst & Young’s claims and our counterclaims to arbitration pursuant to a clause in the engagement agreements between HealthSouth and Ernst & Young. On July 12, 2006, we and the derivative plaintiffs filed an arbitration demand on behalf of HealthSouth against Ernst & Young. On August 7, 2006, Ernst & Young filed an answering statement and counterclaim in the arbitration reasserting the claims made in state court. In August 2006, we and the derivative plaintiffs agreed to jointly prosecute the claims against Ernst & Young in arbitration.

We are vigorously pursuing our claims against Ernst & Young and defending the claims against us. The three-person arbitration panel that is adjudicating the claims and counterclaims in arbitration was selected under rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). The trial phase of the arbitration process began on July 12, 2010 and is currently stayed. We requested that the panel review and consider the ongoing proceedings in another case, In re State of Alabama Department of Revenue v. HealthSouth Corporation, et al., which the Supreme Court of Alabama agreed on August 17, 2012 to hear on appeal. The In re Alabama case is itself unrelated to the Ernst & Young arbitration but does involve an issue of Alabama law that is in dispute in the arbitration. The issue is whether, under Alabama law, the wrongdoing of disloyal employees can or should be imputed to the employer. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments on November 7, 2012.

However, pursuant to an order of the AAA panel, all aspects of the arbitration are confidential. Accordingly, we will not discuss the details of the arbitration until there is a resolution. Based on the stage of arbitration, and review of the current facts and circumstances, we do not believe there is a reasonable possibility of a loss that might result from an adverse judgment or a settlement of this case.

General Medicine Action—

On August 16, 2004, General Medicine, P.C. filed a lawsuit against us captioned General Medicine, P.C. v. HealthSouth Corp. seeking the recovery of allegedly fraudulent transfers involving assets of Horizon/CMS Healthcare Corporation, a former subsidiary of HealthSouth. The lawsuit is pending in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama (the “Alabama Action”).

General Medicine's underlying claim against Horizon/CMS originates from a services contract entered into in 1995 between General Medicine and Horizon/CMS whereby General Medicine agreed to provide medical director services to skilled nursing facilities owned by Horizon/CMS for a term of three years. Horizon/CMS terminated the agreement for cause six months after it was executed, and General Medicine then initiated a lawsuit against Horizon/CMS in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in 1996 (the “Michigan Action”). General Medicine's complaint in the Michigan Action alleged that Horizon/CMS breached the services contract by wrongfully terminating General Medicine. We acquired Horizon/CMS in 1997 and sold it to Meadowbrook Healthcare, Inc. in 2001 pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. In 2004, Meadowbrook, without the knowledge of HealthSouth, consented to the entry of a final judgment in the Michigan Action in favor of General Medicine against Horizon/CMS for the alleged wrongful termination of the contract with General Medicine in the amount of $376 million, plus interest from the date of the judgment until paid at the rate of 10% per annum (the “Consent Judgment”). The $376 million damages figure was unilaterally selected by General Medicine and was not tested or opposed by Meadowbrook. Additionally, the settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) used as the basis for the Consent Judgment provided that Meadowbrook would pay only $300,000 to General Medicine to settle the Michigan Action and that General Medicine would seek to recover the remaining balance of the Consent Judgment solely from us. We were not a party to the Michigan Action, the Settlement negotiated by Meadowbrook, or the Consent Judgment.

The complaint filed by General Medicine against us in the Alabama Action alleges that while Horizon/CMS was our wholly owned subsidiary, General Medicine was an existing creditor of Horizon/CMS by virtue of the Settlement. The complaint also alleges we caused Horizon/CMS to transfer its assets to us for less than a reasonably equivalent value or, in the alternative, with the actual intent to defraud creditors of Horizon/CMS, including General Medicine, in violation of the Alabama Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act. General Medicine further alleges in its amended complaint that we are liable for the Consent Judgment despite not being a party to it because as Horizon/CMS's parent we failed to observe corporate formalities in our operation and ownership of Horizon/CMS, misused our control of Horizon/CMS, stripped assets from Horizon/CMS, and engaged in other conduct which amounted to a fraud on Horizon/CMS's creditors. General Medicine has requested relief including recovery of the unpaid amount of the Consent Judgment, the avoidance of the subject transfers of assets, attachment of the assets transferred to us, appointment of a receiver over the transferred properties, and a monetary judgment for the value of properties transferred.

We have denied liability to General Medicine and asserted counterclaims against General Medicine for fraud, injurious falsehood, tortious interference with business relations, conspiracy, unjust enrichment, abuse of process, and other causes of action. In our counterclaims, we alleged the Consent Judgment is the product of fraud, collusion and bad faith by General Medicine and Meadowbrook and, further, that these parties were guilty of a conspiracy to manufacture a lawsuit against HealthSouth in favor of General Medicine. Consequently, we assert that the Consent Judgment is not evidence of a legitimate debt owed by Horizon/CMS to General Medicine that is collectible from HealthSouth under any theory of liability.

In 2008, after we obtained discovery concerning the circumstances that lead to the entry of the Consent Judgment, we filed a motion in the Michigan Action asking the court to set aside the Consent Judgment on grounds that it was the product of fraud on the court and collusion by the parties. On May 21, 2009, the court granted our motion to set aside the Consent Judgment on grounds that it was the product of fraud on the court. On March 9, 2010, General Medicine filed an appeal of the court's decision to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The parties agreed to a voluntary stay of the Alabama Action pending the outcome of General Medicine's appeal to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. On April 10, 2012, a three-judge panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's ruling and reinstated the Consent Judgment. On June 26, 2012, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals denied our application for rehearing by the full court. Due to the conclusion of the appeal in the Michigan Action, General Medicine requested reactivation of the Alabama Action in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama. On October 4, 2012, the Alabama Action was assigned to a judge in the commercial litigation docket. An initial status conference has been set for November 9, 2012.

Based on the stage of litigation, review of the current facts and circumstances as we understand them, the nature of the underlying claim, the results of the proceedings to date, and the nature and scope of the defense we continue to mount, we do not believe an adverse judgment or settlement is probable in this matter, and it is also not possible to estimate the amount of loss, if any, or range of possible loss that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement of this case. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against General Medicine's claims and to vigorously prosecute our counterclaims against General Medicine.

Other Litigation—

We have been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed March 28, 2003 by several individual stockholders in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, captioned Nichols v. HealthSouth Corp. The plaintiffs allege that we, some of our former officers, and our former investment bank engaged in a scheme to overstate and misrepresent our earnings and financial position. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages. This case was consolidated with the Tucker case for discovery and other pretrial purposes and was stayed in the Circuit Court on August 8, 2005. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on November 9, 2010 to which we responded with a motion to dismiss filed on December 22, 2010. During a hearing on February 24, 2012, plaintiffs' counsel indicated his intent to dismiss certain claims against us. Instead, on March 9, 2012, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to include additional securities fraud claims against HealthSouth and add several former officers to the lawsuit. On September 12, 2012, the plaintiffs further amended their complaint to request certification as a class action. One of those named officers removed the case to federal court on September 14, 2012. We filed a motion to remand the case back to state court on October 12, 2012. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this case. Based on the stage of litigation, review of the current facts and circumstances as we understand them, the nature of the underlying claim, the results of the proceedings to date, and the nature and scope of the defense we continue to mount, we do not believe an adverse judgment or settlement is probable in this matter, and it is also not possible to estimate the amount of loss, if any, or range of possible loss that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement of this case.

We were named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed March 3, 2009 by an individual in the Court of Common Pleas, Richland County, South Carolina, captioned Sulton v. HealthSouth Corp, et al. The plaintiff alleged that certain treatment he received at a HealthSouth facility complicated a pre-existing infectious injury. The plaintiff sought recovery for pain and suffering, medical expenses, punitive damages, and other damages. On July 30, 2010, the jury in this case returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $12.3 million in damages. On May 29, 2012, the Supreme Court of South Carolina granted the parties' joint motion to submit the appeal directly to that court. The parties have completed their briefing for the appeal, and the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on October 17, 2012. We believe the attending nurses acted both responsibly and professionally, and we will continue to support and defend them. Although we continue to believe in the merit of our defenses and counterarguments, we have recorded a liability of $12.3 million in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 with a corresponding receivable of $7.7 million in Other current assets for the portion of the claim we expect to be covered through our excess insurance coverages, resulting in a net charge of $4.6 million to Other operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $4.6 million portion of this claim would be a covered claim through our captive insurance subsidiary, HCS, Ltd. As a result of the verdict, we made a $6.0 million payment through HCS, Ltd. to the Richland County Clerk as a deposit during the on-going appeal process. The deposit is a restricted asset included in Other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Other Matters—

The False Claims Act, 18 U.S.C. § 287, allows private citizens, called “relators,” to institute civil proceedings alleging violations of the False Claims Act. These qui tam cases are generally sealed by the court at the time of filing. The only parties privy to the information contained in the complaint are the relator, the federal government, and the presiding court. It is possible that qui tam lawsuits have been filed against us and that we are unaware of such filings or have been ordered by the presiding court not to discuss or disclose the filing of such lawsuits. We may be subject to liability under one or more undisclosed qui tam cases brought pursuant to the False Claims Act.

It is our obligation as a participant in Medicare and other federal healthcare programs to routinely conduct audits and reviews of the accuracy of our billing systems and other regulatory compliance matters. As a result of these reviews, we have made, and will continue to make, disclosures to the HHS-OIG and CMS relating to amounts we suspect represent over-payments from these programs, whether due to inaccurate billing or otherwise. Some of these disclosures have resulted in, or may result in, HealthSouth refunding amounts to Medicare or other federal healthcare programs.

On June 24, 2011, we received a document subpoena addressed to HealthSouth Hospital of Houston, a long-term acute care hospital ("LTCH") we closed in August 2011, from the Dallas, Texas office of the HHS-OIG. The subpoena is in connection with an investigation of possible false or otherwise improper claims submitted to Medicare and Medicaid and requests documents and materials relating to this closed LTCH's patient admissions, length of stay, and discharge matters. We are cooperating fully with the HHS-OIG in connection with this subpoena and are currently unable to predict the timing or outcome of this investigation.

We also face certain financial risks and challenges relating to our 2007 divestiture transactions (see Note 18, Assets and Liabilities in and Results of Discontinued Operations, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K) following their closing. These include indemnification obligations or other claims and assessments, which in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

On August 10, 2012, we amended and restated our existing credit agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”). The following is a summary of the material provisions that changed as a result of this amendment and restatement:

• It increased the maximum capacity under the senior secured revolving credit facility from $500 million to $600 million;

• It reduced by 50 basis points each of the various applicable interest rates for any outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility, depending on the leverage ratio (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement), during a given interest rate period;

• It repaid and eliminated the existing $95 million term loan by drawing under the revolving credit facility;

• It amended the existing $200 million accordion feature to permit future increases in revolving borrowing capacity or new term loans, or both, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $300 million;

• It permitted secured borrowings by nonguarantor subsidiaries outside the 2012 Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million;

• It permitted, in addition to the existing specified types of permitted restricted payments, restricted payments for the repurchase of the Company's 6.50% series A convertible perpetual preferred stock so long as there is no default or event of default and the leverage ratio is no greater than 3:1 after giving pro forma effect to each repurchase;

• It permitted capital expenditures of $300 million in each of fiscal years 2012 and 2013 and $250 million in each fiscal year thereafter, which amounts are subject to increase based on any unused amount from the prior fiscal year, plus (a) an aggregate cumulative amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement), and (b) certain other amounts including net cash proceeds from certain equity issuances; and

• It extended the maturity date for the revolving credit facility from May 2016 to August 2017.

All other material terms of the existing credit agreement remained the same and are described in more detail in Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K. After closing on August 10, 2012, $195 million were drawn on the revolving credit facility, and $41.4 million were drawn on the $260 million letter of credit subfacility. As a result of this amendment, we recorded a $1.3 millionLoss on early extinguishment of debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

On September 11, 2012, we completed a public offering of $275 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2024 at a public offering price of 100% of the principal amount. Net proceeds from this offering were approximately $270 million. We used $195 million of the net proceeds to repay the amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Additionally, on October 9, 2012, $64.5 million of the net proceeds were used to redeem $33.5 million of the outstanding principal amount of our existing 7.25% Senior Notes due 2018 and $31.0 million of the outstanding principal amount of our existing 7.75% Senior Notes due 2022. The notes were redeemed at a price of 103%, which resulted in an additional cash outlay of $1.9 million from the net proceeds. As a result of this redemption, we expect to record an approximate $2.7 millionLoss on early extinguishment of debt in the fourth quarter of 2012. The balance of the net proceeds of this offering were used for general corporate purposes.

For additional information regarding our indebtedness, see Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2011 Form 10-K.
