2006 BONUS PLAN

      The Compensation Committee approved a bonus plan for executive officers of
the Company to be effective for the 2006 fiscal year. Pursuant to the 2006 bonus
plan, Richard E. Francis, Jr., Clifford G. Adlerz, Kenneth C. Mitchell and R.
Dale Kennedy may be awarded cash bonuses based upon the Company's attainment of
earnings targets during 2006. The plan provides that the bonus of William V.B.
Webb, the Company's Chief Development Officer, for 2006 will be based 30% upon
targets related to the profitability of surgery centers acquired or developed
during 2006; 35% upon targets related to the number of development projects
completed during 2006 and 35% upon the Company's attainment of earnings targets
during 2006. The maximum total bonus award that executive officers can receive
ranges from 35% to 100% of base salary for 2006.

      Following the end of the 2006 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee will
determine whether and the extent to which the applicable 2006 performance
targets discussed above were met. The Compensation Committee will then award
each executive officer a cash bonus (subject to each executive officer's
election to receive restricted stock in lieu of cash pursuant to the Company's
Deferred Stock Purchase Program) based on the achievement of the applicable
performance targets. No payments will be made for performance below specified
threshold levels. Payments for performance between the minimum threshold and the
target level required to receive the maximum bonus award will be determined
based on a formula. The Compensation Committee may make adjustments to the terms
of awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting a
participant or the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or in
the event of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles.
