Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The option vested in four equal annual installments beginning on March 22, 2002.
(2)	This option was assumed by the issuer, as the surviving corporation in the merger of Hercules Acquisition Corporation with and into the issuer, effective November 17, 2006, pursuant to the Merger Agreement dated July 24, 2006 among Hercules Holding II, LLC, Hercules Acquisition corporation and the issuer, and adjusted so that the option would retain the same "spread value" (as defined below) as immediately prior to the merger, but the new per share exercise price for the option would be $12.75. The term "spread value" means the difference between (x) the aggregate fair market value of the common stock (determined using the merger consideration of $51.00 per share) subject to the outstanding options held by the participant immediately prior to the merger that were assumed by the surviving corporation, and (y) the aggregate exercise price of those options.
(3)	On December 16, 2004, HCA announced the acceleration of vesting of all unvested options awarded to employees and officers under the HCA 2000 Equity Incentive Plan which had exercise prices greater than the closing price of HCA's common stock on December 14, 2004 of $40.89 per share, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange.
(4)	Immediately before the effective time of the merger, all unvested options became fully vested and immediately exercisable.
(5)	The option vests in five equal annual installments beginning on January 30, 2008.
(6)	On January 30, 2007, the reporting person was granted an option to purchase 46,620 shares of common stock. The option vests in equal increments of 20% at the end of fiscal years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 if certain annual EBITDA performance targets are achieved, subject to "catch up" vesting if at the end of any year noted above or at the end of fiscal year 2012, the cumulative total EBITDA earned in all prior years exceeds the cumulative EBITDA target at the end of such fiscal year). The EBITDA performance criteria for 2007 was met, resulting in vesting of the option as to 9,324 shares.
