INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents filed by Universal Health Services, Inc. (the Company or the Registrant) with the Commission are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:
(i) | The Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003; |
(ii) | The Companys Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004; |
(iii) | The Companys Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on January 30, 2004, February 19, 2004, March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004, July 23, 2004 and October 22, 2004; and |
(iv) | The description of the Companys Class B Common Stock contained in the Companys Registration Statement on Form 8-A, dated July 5, 1991, including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description. |
In addition to the foregoing, all documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment indicating that all of the securities offered hereunder have been sold or deregistering all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document that is also incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
The Company dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP (Andersen) as its independent auditors effective June 18, 2002. For more information with respect to this matter, see the Companys current report on Form 8-K filed on June 18, 2002. After reasonable effort, the Company has been unable to obtain the consent of Andersen for the incorporation by reference of the report dated February 13, 2002, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a under the Securities Act of 1933 permits the Company to file this Registration Statement without a written consent from Andersen. The absence of such consent may limit recovery by investors on certain claims. In particular, and without limitation, investors will not be able to recover against Andersen under Section 11 of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material fact contained in the financial statements audited by Andersen incorporated by reference herein or any omissions to state a material fact required to be stated therein.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) | The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: |
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) | To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration Statement; |
(iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; |
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
II-3
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |

Re: Universal Health Services, Inc.
Dear Sirs:
We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the Registration Statement) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), on behalf of Universal Health Services, Inc. (the Company), relating to 1,087,726 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company (the Shares) to be offered under the Companys Universal Health Services, Inc. Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan). Pursuant to the Plan, the Registrant may make available Shares for use under the Plan from authorized but unissued shares (Newly Issued Shares), treasury shares or through the acquisition of stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions for such use.
As counsel for the Company, we have examined the Plan and such corporate records, other documents, and such questions of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion and, upon the basis of such examination, advise you that in our opinion, all necessary corporate proceedings by the Company have been duly taken to authorize the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares pursuant to the Plan and that the Newly Issued Shares being registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, when issued under the Plan in accordance with its terms, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as a part of the Registration Statement and to the reference to our name under the heading Interests of Named Experts and Counsel set forth in the Registration Statement. This consent is not to be construed as an admission that we are a person whose consent is required to be filed with the Registration Statement under the provisions of the Act.
Very truly yours,
Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P.
