(together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is owning and operating acute care hospitals, behavioral health centers, ambulatory surgery centers and radiation oncology centers. Presently, the Company operates 30 hospitals, consisting of 15 acute care hospitals and 15 behavioral health centers, in Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington. The Company, as part of its Ambulatory Treatment Centers Division owns outright, or in partnership with physicians, and operates or manages 24 surgery and radiation oncology centers located in 14 states. The Company's strategy to enhance its profitability is to continue to provide high quality, cost-effective healthcare at each of its facilities. Services provided by the Company's hospitals include general surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics, emergency room care, radiology, diagnostic care, coronary care, pediatric services and psychiatric services. The Company provides capital resources as well as a variety of management services to its facilities, including central purchasing, data processing, finance and control systems, facilities planning, physician recruitment services, administrative personnel management, marketing and public relations. Recent and Proposed Acquisitions and Development Activities The Company has a letter of intent and an agreement for or has recently consummated a number of acquisitions. In November 1994, the Company acquired Edinburg Hospital, a 112-bed acute care hospital located in Edinburg, Texas, which is in close proximity to McAllen, Texas, for $11.3 million and the assumption of liabilities totalling $2.2 million. In addition, the Company has agreed to construct and has acquired the land for a 100-bed hospital in Edinburg. This acquisition and development of the new hospital enable the Company to enhance its market leadership in McAllen, where it currently operates the 428-bed McAllen Medical Center ("McAllen Medical Center"). McAllen is in the fourth fastest growing metropolitan statistical area ("MSA") in the nation. (Source: Claritas Business Information Systems ("Claritas"), a market research firm, Forecast 1995-2000). In March 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation to exchange the operations and fixed assets of Westlake Medical Center, a 126-bed acute care hospital located in Westlake, California, and Dallas Family Hospital, a 104-bed acute care hospital in Dallas, Texas, and approximately $45 million in cash, for Aiken Regional Medical Centers, a 225-bed medical center complex in Aiken, South Carolina. Aiken is the leading hospital in its market and with its acquisition, the Company will commence operations in South -4- 8 Carolina. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, is currently scheduled to close in the third quarter of 1995. The Company has also entered into a letter of intent to purchase substantially all the assets of Manatee Memorial Hospital, a 512-bed acute care hospital, located in Bradenton, Florida, for $141 million in cash. Pending closing, the Company is managing the hospital for its current owners pursuant to a management agreement. Manatee, like Aiken, is a state-of-the art facility and is in a new market for the Company with highly favorable demographics. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, is currently expected to close in the third quarter of 1995. In May 1995, the Company acquired Fuller Memorial Psychiatric Hospital, an 82-bed behavioral health center, for approximately $3 million. Fuller, located in southeastern Massachusetts and in close proximity to two of the Company's other behavioral health centers and its eleven day-treatment clinics, will augment the Company's ability to serve additional patients in southeastern Massachusetts. The Company is developing, with the participation of Howard Hughes Corporation, a medical complex including a 120-bed acute care hospital, an ambulatory surgery center, a medical office building and a diagnostic center in the community of Summerlin, Nevada, in western Las Vegas. Howard Hughes Corporation, the major landowner in Summerlin, has granted to the Company an exclusive right to operate medical facilities in Summerlin. When completed, this facility will enhance the Company's market presence in Las Vegas, the center of the fastest growing MSA in the nation (Source: Claritas Forecast 1995-2000). RISK FACTORS Concentration of Revenues. Valley Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada ("Valley Hospital") contributed 18%, 19%, 16% and 16% of the Company's net revenues and 32%, 35%, 32% and 32% of the Company's earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, lease and rental expense and non-recurring transactions (EBITDAR), for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, and for the three years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, excluding the effect of the special Medicaid reimbursements received at one of the Company's Texas acute care hospitals of $3.3 million, $12.4 million, $13.5 million and $29.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, and for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively (the "Special Medicaid Reimbursements"). On a pro forma basis, assuming that the acquisitions of Aiken Regional Medical Centers, Manatee Memorial Hospital and Edinburg Hospital (acquired November 1994), and the dispositions of Dallas Family Hospital and Westlake Medical Center occurred on January 1, 1994 (the "Adjustments") and excluding the Special Medicaid Reimbursements, Valley Hospital would have contributed 15% of the Company's net revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, and the year ended December 31, 1994, and 26% and 28%, respectively, of the Company's EBITDAR for such periods. -5- 9 McAllen Medical Center contributed 22%, 21%, 18% and 16% of the Company's net revenues and 36%, 35%, 32% and 24% of the Company's EBITDAR, for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, and for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, excluding the Special Medicaid Reimbursements. On a pro forma basis, taking into account the Adjustments and excluding the Special Medicaid Reimbursements, McAllen Medical Center would have contributed 18% and 17% of the Company's net revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, and the year ended December 31, 1994, respectively, and 28% of the Company's EBITDAR for each such period. Assuming the Adjustments and excluding the Special Medicaid Reimbursements, Manatee Memorial Hospital would have contributed 13% of the Company's net revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, and the year ended December 31, 1994, and 15% of the Company's EBITDAR for both such periods. See "The Company -- Recent and Proposed Acquisitions and Development Activities." Competition. The healthcare industry has been characterized in recent years by increased competition for patients and staff physicians, excess capacity at general hospitals, a shift from inpatient to outpatient settings and increased consolidation. The principal factors contributing to these trends are advances in medical technology, cost-containment efforts by managed care payors, employers and traditional health insurers, changes in regulations and reimbursement policies, increases in the number and type of competing healthcare providers and changes in physician practice patterns. With a few exceptions, physicians are not employees of the Company's hospitals and members of the medical staffs of the Company's hospitals also serve on the medical staffs of hospitals not owned by the Company and may terminate their affiliation with the Company's hospitals at any time. The Company's future success will depend, in part, on the ability of the Company's hospitals to continue to attract and maintain staff physicians, and to organize and structure integrated healthcare delivery systems with other healthcare providers and physician practice groups. There can be no assurance that the Company's hospitals will continue to be able, on terms favorable to the Company, to attract physicians to their staffs, or to organize and structure integrated healthcare delivery systems, for which other healthcare companies with greater financial resources or a wider range of services may be competing. See "Business -- Competition." Limits on Reimbursement. The Company derives a substantial portion of its net revenues from third-party payors, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. See "Business -- Sources of Revenue." Changes in government reimbursement programs have resulted in limitations on the growth rates of the reimbursement programs in, and, in some cases, in reduced levels of reimbursement for healthcare services, and additional changes are anticipated. Such changes are likely to result in further limitations on reimbursement levels. See "-- Healthcare Reform Legislation." In addition, private payors, including managed care payors, increasingly are demanding discounted fee structures or the assumption by healthcare providers of all or a portion -6- 10 of the financial risk through prepaid capitation arrangements. Inpatient utilization, average lengths of stay and occupancy rates continue to be negatively affected by payor-required pre-admission authorization and utilization review and by payor pressure to maximize outpatient and alternative healthcare delivery services for less acutely ill patients. In addition, efforts to impose reduced allowances, greater discounts and more stringent cost controls by government and other payors are expected to continue. The Company is unable to predict the effect these changes will have on its operations and significant limits on the scope of services reimbursed and on reimbursement rates and fees could have a material adverse effect on the financial results of the Company's operations. Healthcare Reform Legislation. In recent years, an increasing number of legislative initiatives have been introduced or proposed in Congress and in state legislatures that would effect major changes in the healthcare system, either nationally or at the state level. Among the proposals that have been introduced are price controls on hospitals, insurance market reforms to increase the availability of group health insurance to small businesses, requirements that all businesses offer health insurance coverage to their employees and the creation of a government health insurance plan or plans that would cover all citizens and increase payments by beneficiaries. In 1993, President Clinton introduced a healthcare reform bill that included a number of measures that were broadly viewed as increasing the scope of government regulation of the healthcare industry. Key elements in the President's proposal and other healthcare reform proposals included various insurance market reforms, the requirement that businesses provide health insurance coverage for their employees, reductions or lesser increases in the future growth rate of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement to providers and more stringent government cost controls. None of these proposals has been adopted. There continue to be efforts at the Federal level to introduce various insurance market reforms, expanded fraud and abuse and anti-referral legislation and further reductions in the growth rate of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. The House of Representatives and the Senate each recently passed bills which would limit the future rate of growth of the Medicare program from 10% annually to 7% annually and in the Medicaid program from 10% annually to 4% annually (as specified in the House of Representatives' plan). The Company cannot predict whether any of the above proposals or any other proposals will be adopted, and if adopted, no assurance can be given that the implementation of such reforms will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. In Texas, a law has been passed which mandates that the State apply for a waiver from current Medicaid regulations to allow it to require that certain Medicaid participants be serviced through managed care providers. The Company is unable to predict whether Texas will be granted such a waiver or the effect on the Company's business of such law. See "Business -- Regulation and Other Factors." Liability Insurance. For most of its hospitals, the Company is self-insured for its general liability risks for claims limited to $5 million per occurrence and for its professional liability risks for claims limited to $25 million per occurrence. Coverage in excess of these limits up to $100 million is maintained with major insurance carriers. -7- 11 During 1994 and 1993, the Company purchased general and professional liability occurrence policies with commercial insurers for two of its acute care facilities and six of its behavioral health centers. These policies include coverage up to $25 million per occurrence for the acute care hospitals, and from $1 million to $2 million per occurrence for the behavioral health centers, subject to certain aggregate limits, in each case without the payment of any deductible, for general and professional liability risks. Although the Company feels that it currently has adequate insurance coverage, the commercial policies are limited to one-year terms and require annual renegotiation or replacement. The Company has no assurance that it will be able to maintain such insurance in the future on terms acceptable to the Company. Control By Principal Stockholder. Alan B. Miller, UHS' Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, controls approximately 88% of the general voting power of UHS. As such, Mr. Miller can elect the majority Board of Directors of UHS and accomplish a merger, sale, transfer of assets or other significant transaction without the approval of UHS' other stockholders. USE OF PROCEEDS Unless otherwise provided in the Supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the Debt Securities offered by this Prospectus and the Supplement will be added to the Company's general funds and used for general corporate purposes. Until so utilized, it is expected that such net proceeds will be invested in interest bearing time deposits or short-term marketable securities. -8- 12 PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION In March 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation ("Columbia") to acquire the operations and fixed assets of Aiken Regional Medical Centers ("Aiken"), including Aiken Regional Medical Center, The Carolina Cancer Center and the Aurora Pavilion. The assets to be acquired include the real property and moveable equipment together with intangible assets and certain working capital accounts, excluding accounts receivable. In exchange for Aiken, the Company agreed to transfer to Columbia the assets and operations of Westlake Medical Center and Dallas Family Hospital and approximately $45 million in cash. Coincident with the Aiken transaction, the Company will acquire the property of Westlake Medical Center which it currently leases from Universal Health Realty Income Trust ("UHT"), in exchange for other property consisting of additional real estate assets currently owned by the Company but related to three acute care facilities currently owned by UHT and operated by the Company, which will be transferred to and leased back from UHT. These additional real estate assets represent major additions and expansions made to the facilities since the purchase of the properties from the Company in 1986. The Westlake property will then be transferred to Columbia. In addition to the Westlake property, the real and personal property of Dallas Family Hospital, and certain working capital accounts of both facilities, excluding accounts receivable, will be acquired by Columbia. The Company has entered into a letter of intent to purchase substantially all of the assets and operations of Manatee Memorial Hospital, a 512-bed acute care hospital located in Bradenton, Florida, for $141 million in cash. The assets to be acquired include the real and personal property, working capital, and intangible assets. In November 1994, the Company acquired the assets and operations of Edinburg Hospital, a 112-bed acute care hospital located in Edinburg, Texas, for approximately $11.3 million and the assumption of liabilities totalling $2.2 million. The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Income were prepared as if the transactions occurred as of the beginning of the period presented. The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was prepared as if the transactions occurred on March 31, 1995. These pro forma financial statements should be read in connection with the historical financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.

The amounts excluded from each year are as follows: 1990-$0; 1991-$0; 1992-$29.8 million; 1993-$13.5 million; 1994-$12.4 million. The amounts excluded from the quarters ended March 31, 1994 and 1995 are $3.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively. (3) Includes expenditures for acquisition of businesses and property held for lease and does not include assumed indebtedness and other liabilities. (4) Includes property and equipment additions, non-cash capital lease obligations and acquisition of properties previously leased. -17- 21 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS OF 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS OF 1994 (CONSOLIDATED) Net revenues increased 14% or $26 million to $220.7 million for the three months ended March, 31, 1995 as compared to the comparable prior year period due primarily to revenue growth at facilities owned during both periods and the acquisition of a 112-bed acute care hospital in November of 1994. Net revenues at hospital facilities owned during both periods increased 8% or $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the comparable prior year period, excluding the additional revenues received from the special Medicaid reimbursements received by one of the Company's Acute Care facilities which participates in the Texas Medical Assistance Program. Upon meeting certain conditions of participation and serving a disproportionally high share of the State's low income patients, the hospital became eligible and received additional reimbursement from the state's disproportionate share hospital fund totaling $3.3 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These programs are scheduled to terminate in August 1995 and the Company cannot predict whether these programs will continue beyond the scheduled termination date. Excluding the net revenue effects of the special Medicaid reimbursement programs mentioned above, EBITDAR increased 11% or $3.8 million to $37.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to $34.0 million in the comparable prior year period. Overall operating margins, excluding the special Medicaid reimbursements, were 17.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to 17.8% in the comparable prior year period. Acute Care Services Net revenues from the Company's acute care hospitals and ambulatory treatment centers accounted for 85% of the consolidated net revenues for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994. Net revenues at the Company's acute care hospitals owned during both periods increased 9% during the three months ended March 31, 1995 over the comparable prior year period, after excluding the revenues received from the special Medicaid reimbursements described above. Despite the continued shift in the delivery of healthcare services to outpatient care, the Company's acute care hospitals experienced a 4% increase in patient days and a 10% increase in admissions for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Outpatient activity at the Company's acute care hospitals continues to increase as gross outpatient revenues at these hospitals increased 17% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 over the prior year period and continues to comprise 23% of the Company's acute care gross patient revenues. The increase is primarily the result of advances in medical technologies, which allow more services to be provided on an outpatient basis, increased pressure from Medicare, Medicaid, health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), preferred provider organizations ("PPOs") and insurers to reduce hospital stays and provide services, where possible, on a less expensive outpatient basis and the acquisition of several physician practices. To accommodate the -18- 22 increased utilization of outpatient services, the Company has expanded or redesigned several of its outpatient facilities and services. In addition, to take advantage of the trend toward increased outpatient services, the Company has continued to invest in the acquisition and development of ambulatory surgery and radiation oncology centers which have contributed to the increase in the Company's outpatient revenues. As of March 31, 1995, the Company operated or managed 22 outpatient treatment centers, which have contributed to the increase in the Company's outpatient revenues. Behavioral Health Services Net revenues from the Company's behavioral health services accounted for 14% and 15% of the consolidated net revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Net revenues at the Company's behavioral health centers owned during both periods increased 2% during the three months ended March 31, 1995 over the comparable prior year period due primarily to a 12% increase in admissions and a 1.4% increase in patient days. The average length of stay was 12.9 days in the 1995 quarter compared to 14.3 days in the 1994 quarter. The reduction in the average length of stay is a result of changing practices in the delivery of psychiatric care and continued cost containment pressures from payors which includes a greater emphasis on the utilization of outpatient services. Management of the Company has anticipated these trends by developing and marketing new outpatient treatment programs. The shift to outpatient care is reflected in higher revenues from outpatient services, as gross outpatient revenues at the Company's behavioral health centers increased 25% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter and now comprises 16% of behavioral health gross patient revenues as compared to 13% in the prior year quarter. Other Operating Results Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the comparable prior year period due primarily to the acquisition of a 112-bed acute care hospital in November of 1994 and additional depreciation expense related to capital expenditures and expansions made in the Company's acute care division. Interest expense decreased 11% in the 1995 first quarter as compared to last year's first quarter due to lower average outstanding borrowings. The effective tax rate was 39% in each of the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994. 1994 COMPARED TO 1993 AND 1992 (CONSOLIDATED) Net revenues increased 3% ($21 million) to $782 million in 1994 and 4% ($30 million) to $762 million in 1993. Increases in both periods resulted primarily from revenue growth at facilities owned during each of the last three years, and the acquisition and development of ambulatory treatment centers, net of the revenue effects of facilities sold during these periods. Net revenues at hospital facilities owned during all three periods increased by 6.7% ($46 million) in 1994 over 1993 and 7.2% ($47 -19- 23 million) in 1993 over 1992, excluding, as discussed above, the additional revenues received from the special Medicaid reimbursements received by one of the Company's acute care facilities which participates in the Texas Medical Assistance Program. Upon meeting certain conditions of participation and serving a disproportionately high share of the state's low income patients, the hospital became eligible and received additional reimbursements totalling $12.4 million in 1994, $13.5 million in 1993 and $29.8 million in 1992 from the state's disproportionate share hospital fund. As discussed above, these programs are scheduled to terminate in August 1995 and the Company cannot predict whether these programs will continue beyond the scheduled termination date. Net revenues at the Company's ambulatory treatment centers increased to $17 million in 1994 from $11 million in 1993 and $2 million in 1992. The Company sold two hospitals in the fourth quarter of 1993, which reported net revenues of $38 million in 1993 and $48 million in 1992. Excluding the revenue effects of the special Medicaid reimbursement programs, EBITDAR increased from $106 million in 1992 to $113 million in 1993 and to $127 million in 1994. Overall operating margins improved from approximately 15% in both 1992 and 1993 to 16.5% in 1994. The improvement in the Company's overall operating margins in 1994 is due primarily to the divestiture of two low margin acute care facilities in 1993 and lower insurance expense in 1994 as compared to the previous two years. Acute Care Services Net revenues from the Company's acute care hospitals and ambulatory treatment centers accounted for 85%, 84% and 84% of consolidated net revenues in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Net revenues at the Company's acute care hospitals owned during each of the last three years increased 9% in 1994 over 1993 and 7% in 1993 over 1992, after excluding the revenues received from the special Medicaid reimbursements described above. Despite the continued shift in the delivery of healthcare services to outpatient care, the Company's acute care hospitals experienced a 10% increase in inpatient admissions and a 7% increase in patient days in 1994 due primarily to additional capacity and expansion of service lines at two of the Company's larger facilities. Admissions and patient days at these facilities remained relatively unchanged during 1993 as compared to 1992. Outpatient activity at the Company's acute care hospitals increased as gross outpatient revenues at these hospitals increased 16% in 1994 over 1993 and 18% in 1993 over 1992 and comprised 24% of the Company's gross patient revenues in 1994 and 1993 and 23% in 1992. The increase was primarily the result of advances in medical technologies, which allow more services to be provided on an outpatient basis, and increased pressure from Medicare, Medicaid, HMOs, PPOs, and insurers to reduce hospital stays and provide services, where possible, on a less expensive outpatient basis. Excluding the revenues received from the special Medicaid reimbursements described above, operating margins (EBITDAR) at the Company's Acute Care hospitals owned during all three years were 19.9%, 19.5% and 21.3% in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The margin improvement in 1994 over 1993 was primarily the result of lower insurance expense. The margin decline from 1992 to 1993 resulted primarily from deterioration in payor mix and general industry trends. Pressure on operating margins -20- 24 is expected to continue due to the industry-wide trend away from charge based payors which limits the Company's ability to increase its prices. Behavioral Health Services Net revenues from the Company's behavioral health services accounted for 14%, 15% and 15% of consolidated net revenues in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Net revenues at the Company's behavioral health centers owned during each of the last three years decreased 7% in 1994 as compared to 1993 due primarily to a reduction in patient days. Despite a 12% increase in admissions in 1994, patient days decreased 3% due to a reduction in the average length of stay to 13.8 days in 1994 from 15.9 days in 1993. The reduction in the average length of stay was a result of changing practices in the delivery of psychiatric care and continued cost containment pressures from payors which includes a greater emphasis on the utilization of outpatient services. Net revenues at these hospitals increased 6% in 1993 as compared to 1992 due to a 17% increase in admissions offset by a reduction in the average length of stay to 15.9 days in 1993 from an average stay of 20.0 days in 1992. The shift to outpatient care is reflected in higher revenues from outpatient services, as gross outpatient revenues at the Company's behavioral health centers increased 17% in 1994 over 1993 and 39% in 1993 over 1992 and comprised 15% of psychiatric gross patient revenues in 1994 as compared to 13% in 1993 and 10% in 1992. Operating margins (EBITDAR) at the facilities owned during all three years were 15.8% in 1994, 21.5% in 1993 and 17.6% in 1992. The decrease in the profit margin in 1994 as compared to 1993 was primarily caused by the decrease in the facility's net revenues which declined due to an increase in Medicaid denials, a decrease in days of care delivered and a decline in the net revenue per day. Other Operating Results During 1994, the Company recorded $9.8 million of nonrecurring charges which includes a $4.3 million loss on the anticipated disposal of two acute care facilities. The Company expects to exchange these facilities, along with cash, for a 225-bed medical complex. See "The Company--Recent and Proposed Acquisitions and Development Activities." Also included in nonrecurring charges is a $2.8 million write-down in the carrying value of a behavioral health center owned by the Company and leased to an unaffiliated third party which is currently in default under the terms of the lease agreement, a $1.4 million write down recorded against the book value of the real property of a behavioral health center, and $1.3 million of expenses related to the disposition of a non-strategic business. Included in the $8.8 million of nonrecurring charges recorded in 1993 is a $4.4 million loss on disposal of two acute care facilities divested during the fourth quarter of 1993 and $4.4 million related to the winding down or disposition of non-strategic businesses. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.8 million in 1994 over 1993 due primarily to $1.9 million in such expenses related to the Company's acquisition of ambulatory treatment centers and the increased depreciation expense related to capital expenditures and expansions made in the Company's acute care division. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased approximately $9.5 million in 1993 as compared to 1992, due primarily to a $13.5 million amortization charge in 1992 resulting from the revaluation of certain goodwill balances. Partially offsetting this decrease was a $2.4 -21- 25 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense related to the Company's acquisitions of outpatient treatment centers. Interest expense decreased 27% in 1994 as compared to 1993 and 24% in 1993 as compared to 1992 due to lower average outstanding borrowings. The effective tax rate was 39%, 32% and 51%, in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for 1994 as compared to 1993 was due to the 1993 tax provision containing a reduction in the state tax provision. The reduction in the effective tax rate in 1993 as compared to 1992, in addition to the reduction in the state tax provision mentioned above, was attributable to the above mentioned $13.5 million goodwill amortization recorded in the 1992 period, which was not deductible for income tax purposes. INFLATION The healthcare industry is very labor intensive and salaries and benefits are subject to inflationary pressures, as are supply costs which tend to escalate as vendors pass on the rising costs through price increases. Although the Company cannot predict its ability to continue to cover future costs increases, management believes that through the adherence to cost containment policies, labor management and reasonable price increases, the effects of inflation, which has not had a material impact on the results of operations during the last three years, on future operating margins should be manageable. However, the Company's ability to pass on these increased costs associated with providing healthcare to Medicare and Medicaid patients may be limited since although these fixed payments rates are indexed for inflation annually, the increases have historically lagged behind actual inflation. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities was $24.1 million during the first three months of 1995, and $60.6 million, $84.6 million and $81.7 million for the 1994, 1993 and 1992 fiscal years, respectively. The $24.0 million decrease in 1994 as compared to 1993 was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of days of revenues in accounts receivable, acceleration in the payment of income taxes and an increase in the payments made in settlement of the Company's self-insurance reserves. The unfavorable change in the outstanding accounts receivable was caused by a temporary decline in cash collections due to information system conversions at the Company's hospitals. During each of the past three years, the net cash provided by operating activities substantially exceeded the scheduled maturities of long-term debt. The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire a 225-bed medical complex in Aiken, South Carolina and a letter of intent to acquire a 512-bed acute care hospital located in Bradenton, Florida in exchange for aggregate consideration of approximately $186 million in cash and two acute care facilities. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Edinburg Hospital in 1994, the Company will invest at least an additional $30 million over a ten-year period to renovate the existing facility and construct an additional facility within four years. The Company plans to spend approximately $55 million over a four-year period in connection with the development -22- 26 of a medical complex in Summerlin, Nevada. See "The Company -- Recent and Proposed Acquisitions and Development Activities." Excluding expenditures related to acquisitions, expansions and new services, the Company believes it will make capital expenditures of approximately $30 million in each of 1995 and 1996. The Company expects to finance all capital expenditures and acquisitions with internally generated funds and borrowed funds. Borrowed funds may be obtained through the Company's existing commercial paper program, under the Company's unsecured revolving credit agreement or pursuant to the sale of debt securities which may be offered hereby. The Company's commercial paper program provides for loans, secured against patient accounts receivable, of up to $50 million at any time outstanding. The Company's unsecured revolving credit agreement, which expires on March 31, 2000, provides, subject to certain conditions, for $225 million of borrowing capacity, until March 31, 1998, $210 million until March 31, 1999 and $185 million until March 31, 2000. As of March 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $236 million of unused borrowing capacity under its commercial paper program and revolving credit facility. To reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on the cost of its debt, the Company, from time to time, enters into interest rate swap agreements. Currently, the Company has one such agreement with a notional principal amount of $10 million. The Company also entered into forward starting interest rate swaps in the notional principal amount of $100 million to hedge the underlying treasury component of the interest rate on a portion of the debt securities which may be offered hereby. The Company expects to unwind these swaps on the issue date of such debt securities resulting in an effective treasury rate component of approximately 7.15%. HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Healthcare is one of the largest industries in the United States, representing total expenditures of approximately $938.3 billion, or 13.9% of gross domestic product, in 1994 according to the Federal Healthcare Financing Administration ("HCFA"). Increases in healthcare expenditures, including hospital expenditures, historically have outpaced inflation due to, among other factors, the aging of the population and the increased availability and use of high-technology treatments and tests. According to HCFA, healthcare expenditures increased by approximately 6.1% in 1994 from approximately $884.0 billion in 1993. In response to escalating healthcare costs, government and private purchasers of healthcare services have undertaken substantial revisions in their payment methodologies and have increased significantly the degree to which they monitor the utilization of services. Additionally, payors increasingly are utilizing HMOs and PPOs as cost-effective alternatives to traditional fee-for-service health insurance plans. See "Business - Regulation and Other Factors." Under these systems, hospitals bear the financial risk of providing healthcare services since they receive a specific, fixed reimbursement for each treatment, or specific fixed periodic payments based on the number of members of the HMO or PPO served or eligible for service by that hospital, regardless of the actual costs of providing the care. These payment systems have resulted in increased contractual allowances and discounts to hospitals' standard charges for services and a shift from inpatient to outpatient care. -23- 27 These changes in payment methodologies have created many changes in the provision of healthcare. A significant shift from inpatient to outpatient care has resulted in significant unused hospital capacity and increases in the utilization of outpatient services and greater outpatient revenues. As a result, in part, of the changes in the industry, there has been significant consolidation in the hospital industry over the past few years. In response to payor trends, integrated healthcare networks have been established to provide a continuum of patient care in a cost-effective framework. -24- 28 BUSINESS General The principal business of the Company is owning and operating acute care hospitals, behavioral health centers, ambulatory surgery centers and radiation oncology centers. Presently, the Company operates 30 hospitals, consisting of 15 acute care hospitals and 15 behavioral health centers, in Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington. The Company, as part of its Ambulatory Treatment Centers Division owns outright, or in partnership with physicians, and operates or manages 24 surgery and radiation therapy centers located in 14 states. Services provided by the Company's hospitals include general surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics, emergency room care, radiology, diagnostic care, coronary care, pediatric services and psychiatric services. The Company provides capital resources as well as a variety of management services to its facilities, including central purchasing, data processing, finance and control systems, facilities planning, physician recruitment services, administrative personnel management, marketing and public relations. BUSINESS STRATEGY The Company's strategy to enhance its profitability is to continue to provide high quality, cost-effective healthcare at each of its facilities. Key elements of the Company's strategy are: - to establish and maintain market leadership positions in small and medium-sized markets with favorable demographics; - to develop or participate in the leading integrated healthcare delivery system in each of its hospital's markets; - to develop and maintain strong relationships with physicians; - to maintain a low cost structure while providing high quality care; and - to attract managed care contracts. Establish and Maintain Leadership Positions in Small and Medium-Sized Markets with Favorable Demographics The Company believes that small and medium-sized markets provide the Company with strong opportunities for profitability since such markets typically are less competitive than major metropolitan markets and have lower cost structures. The Company strives to enhance its leadership position in its existing markets by improving the hospital's physical plant, by improving and increasing the services offered by the hospital and by making complementary acquisitions or constructing additional facilities. In determining whether to enter new markets, the Company considers, among other factors, the competitive situation and demographic profile. -25- 29 Examples of the Company's development and expansion of operations in small and medium-sized markets is the Company's recent acquisition and development activities. In Las Vegas, which is located in the fastest growing MSA in the nation, the Company owns the 398-bed Valley Hospital. At Valley Hospital, the Company recently developed an outpatient surgery center, conducted a major renovation of its emergency room and is establishing a neonatal intensive care unit. In addition, to further enhance the Company's leadership in Las Vegas, the Company is developing, with the Howard Hughes Corporation, a medical complex, including a 120-bed acute care hospital, an ambulatory surgery center, a medical office building, and a diagnostic center in the community of Summerlin, Nevada, in western Las Vegas. Howard Hughes Corporation has granted to the Company the exclusive right to operate medical facilities in Summerlin. In McAllen, Texas, to complement the Company's market leading 428-bed McAllen Medical Center, the Company recently acquired Edinburg Hospital, located in Edinburg, north of McAllen. McAllen is in the fourth fastest growing MSA in the nation. The Company plans to further expand its presence in the McAllen market by building a new 100-bed acute care hospital in Edinburg and converting the existing property to a nursing and rehabilitation facility. The Company's planned acquisitions of Aiken Regional Medical Centers and Manatee Memorial Hospital will, if completed, provide the Company with two market leaders in markets with favorable demographics. Aiken, a 225-bed medical center complex located in Aiken, South Carolina, is the only hospital located in Aiken County, South Carolina. In addition, to acquire Aiken, the Company is exchanging Dallas Family Hospital and Westlake Medical Center, two hospitals which are not leaders in their markets and which the Company has been unable to link to their respective market leaders. Manatee, a 512-bed acute care hospital, is one of two hospitals in Manatee County, Florida. See "Business-Operations." The Company has also established market leadership positions with most of its ambulatory surgery centers and radiation oncology centers. The majority of the Company's surgery centers are the sole free standing providers in their respective markets and all except one of the Company's free standing radiation centers are the sole providers. The Company seeks to acquire ambulatory surgery centers and radiation oncology centers which are the sole free standing providers in a market since these centers provide a cost-effective alternative to the local hospital. Develop Integrated Healthcare Delivery Systems In each of its hospital's markets, the Company has established or is developing an integrated healthcare delivery system to offer a full range of patient care on a cost-effective basis. Through the development of integrated healthcare delivery systems, the Company believes that it will augment revenues and market share by attracting an increasing share of large, sophisticated governmental and private sector managed care contracts. The Company believes that hospitals are the logical hubs for the development of integrated healthcare delivery systems due to their highly developed infrastructure, extensive base of services, sophisticated equipment and skilled personnel. The Company believes that the development of integrated healthcare delivery systems is accomplished by (i) maintaining a single hospital's leadership in its market or (ii) coordinating the services of its hospital with the market leader. -26- 30 In certain markets where the Company is a market leader, for example Las Vegas, Nevada, and McAllen, Texas, the Company has positioned its hospitals as the center of delivery systems by responding to community needs and developing new services. In Las Vegas, for example, the Company developed an outpatient surgery center, conducted a major renovation of its emergency room and is establishing a neonatal intensive care unit. In the Las Vegas and McAllen markets, the Company has also undertaken development activities. See "The Company - Recent and Proposed Acquisitions and Development Activities." To increase the presence of the Company's behavioral health centers in southeastern Massachusetts, the Company recently acquired Fuller Memorial Psychiatric Hospital. Fuller, which is located in close proximity to two of the Company's other behavioral health centers and its eleven day-treatment clinics, will augment the Company's ability to serve additional patients in southeastern Massachusetts. In markets where the Company is not by itself a market share leader, the Company attempts to link its hospitals with the market leader. The Company has effected such a linkage in New Orleans where its hospitals are linked with Methodist Hospital and East Jefferson Hospital, both of which are their respective market leaders. Develop and Maintain Strong Relationships with Physicians The Company believes that its success will depend in large part on maintaining strong relationships with physicians, and has devoted substantial management effort and resources to establishing and maintaining such relationships and to fostering a physician-friendly culture at each of its hospitals to better serve the needs of patients. The Company attracts physicians to its hospitals by equipping its hospitals with sophisticated equipment, constructing medical office buildings adjacent to many of its hospitals, providing physicians with a large degree of independence in conducting their hospital practice, supplying a quality nursing and technical staff and sponsoring training programs to educate physicians on advanced medical procedures. These efforts serve the dual purposes of developing and maintaining strong relationships with physicians and better serving the needs of patients. In addition, consistent with the Company's goal of establishing integrated healthcare delivery systems, the Company is expanding its alliances with physicians to create long term hospital/physician linkages. These arrangements will allow physicians to participate in the delivery of healthcare at the network level. For example, in Nevada, the Company has established Universal Health Network, a PPO with approximately 100,000 covered lives. In McAllen, the Company is pursuing a plan whereby McAllen Medical Center and Edinburg Hospital will be transferred to a partnership of which the staff physicians will own up to 5%. Maintain a Low Cost Structure While Providing High Quality Care The Company has taken steps to create a low cost structure and believes its current cost structure will enable it to continue to compete effectively in each of its current markets. The Company has established standardized management information systems which provide accurate clinical and financial data for use by hospital staff, physicians and corporate management. In addition, the Company closely monitors -27- 31 departmental staffing and has established staffing level targets for each hospital based on the amount and type of service provided to the patients. The Company reviews compliance with these staffing targets on a monthly basis. The Company also reviews patient length of stay, service utilization, cash flow, accounts receivable collection, inventory levels and outside purchases. To reduce the cost of supplies, the Company has entered into national purchasing contracts. While maintaining its commitment to a low cost structure, the Company has developed and implemented a continuous quality improvement program designed to assess all levels of patient care provided in its hospitals. While the basics of the program are mandated by federal, state and Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO") regulations and standards, the objective of the program is to meet or exceed the mandates by focusing on hospital systems, patient, physician and employee concerns. The quality improvement program is managed by a multidisciplinary committee consisting of physicians, nurses, ancillary managers and administration. The committee performs peer review, monitoring all functions within the hospital, identifying opportunities to improve, recommending actions and following up on the changes to assure improvement. The committee and its administrative support department, quality management and the corporate quality improvement services department meet regularly to address specific problems, program integrity, and ways to improve patients care under a "Total Quality Management System." Continual review, analysis and training provided through the quality improvement program provides patients, physicians and third party payors assurance that efficient, quality patient care receives the highest priority at each of the Company's hospitals. The Company's efforts in maintaining high quality care have been recognized. Recent awards include (i) the 1994 Quality and Productivity Award given by the United States Senate to Valley Hospital Medical Center, (ii) Keystone Center, Chalmette Medical Center, Turning Point Hospital, HRI Hospital and The Arbour receiving JCAHO Accreditation with Commendation (awarded to only 5% of hospitals, nationally) and (iii) the Company being recognized by the Pennsylvania Council of Excellence for quality management accomplishment. Attract Managed Care Contracts The Company has extensive experience in working with managed care providers. Pressures to control healthcare costs have resulted in a continuing increase in the percentage of the United States population that is covered by managed healthcare plans. To increase the cost-effectiveness of healthcare delivery, managed care payors have introduced new utilization review systems and have increased the use of discounted and capitated fee arrangements. Further, managed care payors have attempted, where appropriate, to direct patients to less intensive alternatives along the continuum of patient care. Management has responded to this trend by increasing the outpatient services offered at its hospitals and behavioral health centers. In addition, the Company also continues to add to its Ambulatory Treatment Centers Division, acquiring nine facilities in 1994. In determining with which providers to contract, payors consider, among other factors, the quality of care provided, the range of services, the geographic coverage and the cost-effectiveness of the care provided. The Company believes that the development and expansion of its integrated healthcare delivery systems will enable it to better compete for managed care contracts with payors, which, in turn, should allow it to expand its patient volume and cash flow, notwithstanding the reduced rates at which services are provided. -28- 32 OPERATIONS After giving effect to the Company's planned acquisition of Manatee Memorial Hospital, the Company will derive the majority of its revenue from Valley Hospital, McAllen Medical Center and Manatee Memorial Hospital. Following is a brief discussion of these facilities and their respective geographic areas: Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company's Valley Hospital is a 398-bed hospital located in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is in the fastest growing MSA in the country. On a pro forma basis, assuming the Adjustments and excluding the Special Medicaid Reimbursements, Valley Hospital would have contributed 15% of the Company's net revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, and the year ended December 31, 1994, and 26% and 28%, respectively, of the Company's EBITDAR for such periods. To enhance its competitive position in the Las Vegas market, Valley Hospital recently underwent a major expansion of its emergency room facility, established an outpatient surgery center and is establishing a neonatal intensive care unit. The Company has begun construction of a new facility in Summerlin, Nevada which is a master planned community located in western Las Vegas. The new Summerlin Medical Center will be completed in three phases and will consist of a 100,000 square foot medical building, an outpatient surgery and diagnostic center and a 120-bed acute care hospital. Howard Hughes Corporation has granted to the Company the exclusive right to operate medical facilities in Summerlin. See "The Company -- Recent and Proposed Acquisitions and Development Activities." McAllen, Texas. McAllen, located in the Rio Grande Valley area of Texas, is the center of a 200 mile wide consumer market area with more than ten million people. McAllen and its surrounding communities are in the fourth fastest growing MSA in the country. Furthermore, the population in McAllen increases significantly in the winter months with the inflow of retirees from the northern states. The Company's McAllen Medical Center, a 428-bed facility, is the largest hospital in the Rio Grande Valley and is the hub of a five hospital delivery network organized by the Company. The medical center offers a wide range of services including general medical/surgical care, a 24-hour emergency room, oncology care, cardiac care, obstetric, pediatric and neonatal care and laser surgery. On a pro forma basis, assuming the Adjustments and excluding the Special Medicaid Reimbursements, McAllen Medical Center would have contributed 18% and 17% of the Company's net revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, and the year ended December 31, 1994, respectively, and 28% of the Company's EBITDAR for each such period. The Company has recently acquired Edinburg Hospital, a 112-bed acute care facility. Located eight miles north of McAllen, this facility enhances the Company's delivery network in this rapidly growing area. The Company plans to further expand its presence in the McAllen market by building a new 100-bed acute care hospital in Edinburg and converting the existing property to a nursing and rehabilitation facility. Manatee County, Florida. Manatee County is located approximately 50 miles south of Tampa on the Gulf Coast of Florida. The County has a current population of approximately 250,000. The Company has entered into a letter of intent to acquire Manatee Memorial Hospital ("Manatee"), a 512-bed facility which is located in the County. Until the closing, the Company is managing Manatee for its current owners. -29- 33 The hospital, which has a location which will benefit from the continuing eastern expansion of the County, offers a wide range of services from primary medical and surgical procedures to obstetric, pediatric, psychiatric and a broad range of specialized programs. The Manatee Heart Center offers the full range of cardiac care from catheterization and non-invasive procedures to open heart surgery. The Manatee Center for Women's Health offers neonatal care in addition to its obstetric and gynecological services. The Emergency Care Center is a state-of-the-art facility servicing 90% of the trauma cases in the County. Manatee also offers a full range of outpatient services to the community. It is the only hospital in the County to operate a Life Management inpatient and outpatient program for mentally ill individuals. Recently, Manatee opened its new Surgery and Outpatient Services Center which provides outpatient services to the community through twelve new surgical suites and arrays of diagnostic tests and surgical procedures. Assuming the Adjustments and excluding the Special Medicaid Reimbursements, Manatee would have contributed 13% of the Company's net revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, and the year ended December 31, 1994, and 15% of the Company's EBITDAR for both such periods.

- ----------------------------------- (1) "Average Available Beds" is the number of beds which are actually in service at any given time for immediate patient use with the necessary equipment and staff available for patient care. A hospital may have appropriate licenses for more beds than are in service for a number of reasons, including lack of demand, incomplete construction, and anticipation of future needs. (2) "Patient Days" is the aggregate sum for all patients of the number of days that hospital care is provided to each patient. (3) "Occupancy Rate" is calculated by dividing average patient days (total patient days divided by the total number of days in the period) by the number of average beds, either available or licensed. SOURCES OF REVENUE The Company receives payment for services rendered from private insurers, including managed care plans, the Federal government under the Medicare program, state governments under their respective Medicaid programs and directly from patients. All of the Company's acute care hospitals and most of the Company's behavioral health centers are certified as providers of Medicare and Medicaid services by the appropriate governmental authorities. The requirements for certification are subject to change, and, in order to remain qualified for such programs, it may be necessary for the Company to make changes from time to time in its facilities, equipment, personnel and services. Although the Company intends to continue in such programs, there is no assurance that it will continue to qualify for participation. The sources of the Company's hospital revenues are charges related to the services provided by the hospitals and their staffs, such as radiology, operating rooms, pharmacy, physiotherapy and laboratory procedures, and basic charges for the hospital room and related services such as general nursing care, meals, maintenance and housekeeping. Hospital revenues depend upon the occupancy for inpatient routine services, the extent to which ancillary services and therapy programs are ordered by physicians and provided to patients, the volume of out-patient procedures and the charges or negotiated payment rates for such services. Charges and reimbursement rates for inpatient routine services vary depending on the type of bed occupied (e.g., medical/surgical, intensive care or psychiatric) and the geographic location of the hospital. The following tables show approximate percentages of gross revenue derived by the Company's acute care hospitals and behavioral health centers owned as of -33- 37 December 31, 1994 since their respective dates of acquisition by the Company from third party sources and from all other sources during the five years ended December 31, 1994. 1994 (Pro forma) assumes the effect of the Adjustments as if they occurred on January 1, 1994.

Net revenues of the Company are reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. The Company does not record net revenue by payor other than for Medicare and Medicaid. These net revenues are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Medicare and Medicaid net revenues represented 39%, 43%, 44% and 46% of net patient revenues for the years 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1994 (Pro forma), respectively, excluding the Special Medicaid Reimbursements. -34- 38 MEDICAL STAFF AND EMPLOYEES The Company's hospitals are staffed by licensed physicians who have been admitted to the medical staff of individual hospitals. With a few exceptions, physicians are not employees of the Company's hospitals and members of the medical staffs of the Company's hospitals also serve on the medical staffs of hospitals not owned by the Company and may terminate their affiliation with the Company's hospitals at any time. Each of the Company's hospitals is managed on a day-to-day basis by a managing director employed by the Company. In addition, a Board of Governors, including members of the hospital's medical staff, governs the medical, professional and ethical practices at each hospital. The Company's facilities had approximately 10,000 employees at June 1, 1995, of whom 7,500 were employed full-time. 614 of the Company's employees at four of its hospitals are unionized. At Valley Hospital, unionized employees belong to the Culinary Workers and Bartenders Union and the International Union of Operating Engineers. Registered nurses at Auburn General Hospital located in Washington State, are represented by the Washington State Nurses Association, the practical nurses at Auburn are represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers and licensed practical nurses at Auburn are represented by the Service Employees International Union, Local 6. In addition, at Auburn, the technical employees are represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers, and the service employees are represented by the Service Employees International Union. The registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certain technicians and therapists, and housekeeping employees at HRI Hospital in Boston are represented by the Service Employees International Union. All full-time and regular part-time professional employees of La Amistad Residential Treatment Center in Maitland, Florida are represented by the United Nurses of Florida/United Health Care Employees Union. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are satisfactory. COMPETITION In all geographical areas in which the Company operates, there are other hospitals which provide services comparable to those offered by the Company's hospitals, some of which are owned by governmental agencies and supported by tax revenues, and others of which are owned by nonprofit corporations and may be supported to a large extent by endowments and charitable contributions. Such support is not available to the Company's hospitals. Certain of the Company's competitors have greater financial resources, are better equipped and offer a broader range of services than the Company. Outpatient treatment and diagnostic facilities, outpatient surgical centers and freestanding ambulatory surgical centers also impact the healthcare marketplace. In recent years, competition among healthcare providers for patients has intensified as hospital occupancy rates in the United States have declined due to, among other things, regulatory and technological changes, increasing use of managed care payment systems, cost containment pressures, a shift toward outpatient treatment and an increasing supply of physicians. The Company's strategies are designed, and management believes that its facilities are positioned, to be competitive under these changing circumstances. -35- 39 REGULATION AND OTHER FACTORS Within the statutory framework of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, there are substantial areas subject to administrative rulings, interpretations and discretion which may affect payments made under either or both of such programs and reimbursement is subject to audit and review by third party payors. Management believes that adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that might result therefrom. The Federal government makes payments to participating hospitals under its Medicare program based on various formulae. The Company's general acute care hospitals are subject to a prospective payment system ("PPS"). PPS pays hospitals a predetermined amount per diagnostic related group ("DRG") based upon a hospital's location and the patient's diagnosis. The deficit-reduction legislation passed by Congress in 1987 limits the increases in PPS reimbursement based on the rate of inflation and the location of hospitals. Psychiatric hospitals, which are exempt from PPS, are cost reimbursed by the Medicare program, but are subject to a per discharge limitation, calculated based on the hospital's first full year in the Medicare program. Capital related costs are exempt from this limitation. On August 30, 1991, the Health Care Financing Administration issued final Medicare regulations establishing a prospective payment methodology for inpatient hospital capital-related costs. These regulations apply to hospitals which are reimbursed based upon the prospective payment system and took effect for cost years beginning on or after October 1, 1991. For each of the Company's hospitals, the new methodology began on January 1, 1992. The regulations provide for the use of a 10-year transition period in which a blend of the old and new capital payment provisions will be utilized. One of two methodologies will apply during the 10-year transition period: if the hospital's hospital-specific capital rate exceeds the federal capital rate, the hospital will be paid on the basis of a "hold harmless" methodology, which is a blend of actual cost reimbursement and a prospectively determined national federal capital rate; or, with limited exceptions, if the hospital-specific rate is below the federal capital rate, the hospital will receive payments based upon a "fully prospective" methodology, which is a blend of the hospital's actual base year capital rate and a prospectively determined national federal capital rate. Each hospital's hospital-specific rate was determined based upon allowable capital costs incurred during the "base year", which, for all of the Company's hospitals, is the year ended December 31, 1990. All of the Company's hospitals are paid under the "hold harmless" methodology except for one hospital, which is paid under the "fully prospective" methodology. Within certain limits, a hospital can manage its costs, and, to the extent this is done effectively, a hospital may benefit from the DRG system. However, many hospital operating costs are incurred in order to satisfy licensing laws, standards of the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and quality of care concerns. In addition, hospital costs are affected by the level of patient acuity, occupancy rates and local physician practice patterns, including length of stay -36- 40 judgments and number and type of tests and procedures ordered. A hospital's ability to control or influence these factors which affect costs is, in many cases, limited. There have been additional proposals either proposed by the Administration or in Congress to reduce the funds available for the Medicare and Medicaid programs and to change the method by which hospitals are reimbursed for services provided to Medicare and Medicaid patients, including free indigent care. The House of Representatives and the Senate each recently passed bills which would limit the future rate of growth of the Medicare program from 10% annually to 7% annually and in the Medicaid Program from 10% annually to 4% annually (under the House of Representatives' plan). In addition, state governments may, in the future, reduce funds available under the Medicaid programs which they fund in part or impose additional restrictions on the utilization of hospital services. A number of legislative initiatives were proposed in 1994, and others may be proposed again in 1995, which if enacted would result in major changes in the healthcare system, nationally and/or at the state level. Several of these proposals limit the rate of increase in spending for Medicare and other healthcare costs as part of overall deficit reduction measures. The Company is unable to predict which bill, if any, will be adopted, or the ultimate impact its adoption would have on the Company; however, new legislation, if passed, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future revenues. In addition to federal health reform efforts, several states have adopted or are considering healthcare reform legislation. Several states are planning to consider wider use of managed care for their Medicaid populations and providing coverage for some people who presently are uninsured. In Texas, a law was recently passed which mandates that the State apply for a waiver from current Medicaid regulations to allow it to require that certain Medicaid participants be serviced through managed care providers. The Company is unable to predict whether Texas will be granted such a waiver or the effect on the Company's business of such law. A number of other states are considering the enactment of managed care initiatives designed to provide low-cost coverage. The Company currently operates two behavioral health centers with a total of 186 beds in Massachusetts, which has mandated hospital rate-setting. The Company also operates three hospitals containing an aggregate of 378 beds, and manages, and has agreed to acquire, one hospital with 512 beds, in Florida that are subject to a mandated form of rate-setting if increases in hospital revenues per admission exceed certain target percentages. The Company does not believe that such regulation has had a material adverse effect on its operations. Pursuant to Federal legislation, in general, the Federal government is required to match state funds applied to state Medicaid programs. Several states have initiated programs under which certain hospital providers are taxed to generate Medicaid funds which must be matched by the Federal government. New legislation passed by Congress on November 27, 1991, limits each state's use of provider taxes after 1994. State programs involving provider taxes in which UHS' hospitals are participants are in place in Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada and Washington. Included in the Company's 1994 financial results is revenue attributable to these programs, some of which expired in 1994. The Company cannot predict whether the remaining programs will continue beyond the scheduled termination dates. Under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA"), enacted by Congress in late 1993, and effective January 1, 1995, physicians are precluded from -37- 41 referring Medicare and Medicaid patients for a wide range of services where the physician has an ownership interest or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, an entity that provides such services. The legislation includes certain exceptions including, for example, where the referring physician has an ownership interest in a hospital as a whole or an ambulatory surgery center if the physician performs services at the center. In addition, all Medicare providers and suppliers are subject to certain reporting and disclosure requirements. In 1991, 1992 and 1993, the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") issued regulations which provide for "safe harbors"; if an arrangement or transaction meets each of the stipulations established for a particular safe harbor, the arrangement will not be subject to challenge by the Inspector General. If an arrangement does not meet the safe harbor criteria, it will be analyzed under its particular facts and circumstances to determine whether it violates the Medicare anti-kickback statute which prohibits, in general, fraudulent and abusive practices, and enforcement action may be taken by the Inspector General. In addition to the investment interests safe harbor, other safe harbors include space rental, equipment rental, personal service/management contracts, sales of a physician practice, referral services, warranties, employees, discounts and group purchasing arrangements, among others. The Company does not anticipate that either the OBRA provisions or the safe harbor regulations will have material adverse effects upon its operations. Several states, including Florida and Nevada, have passed new legislation which limits physician ownership in medical facilities providing imaging services, rehabilitation services, laboratory testing, physical therapy and other services. This legislation is not expected to significantly affect the Company's operations. All hospitals are subject to compliance with various federal, state and local statutes and regulations and receive periodic inspection by state licensing agencies to review standards of medical care, equipment and cleanliness. The Company's hospitals must comply with the licensing requirements of federal, state and local health agencies, as well as the requirements of municipal building codes, health codes and local fire departments. In granting and renewing licenses, a department of health considers, among other things, the physical buildings and equipment, the qualifications of the administrative personnel and nursing staff, the quality of care and continuing compliance with the laws and regulations relating to the operation of the facilities. State licensing of facilities is a prerequisite to certification under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Various other licenses and permits are also required in order to dispense narcotics, operate pharmacies, handle radioactive materials and operate certain equipment. All the Company's eligible hospitals have been accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. The Social Security Act and regulations thereunder contain numerous provisions which affect the scope of Medicare coverage and the basis for reimbursement of Medicare providers. Among other things, this law provides that in states which have executed an agreement with the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (the "Secretary"), Medicare reimbursement may be denied with respect to depreciation, interest on borrowed funds and other expenses in connection with capital expenditures which have not received prior approval by a designated state health -38- 42 planning agency. Additionally, many of the states in which the Company's hospitals are located have enacted legislation requiring certificates of need ("CON") as a condition prior to hospital capital expenditures, construction, expansion, modernization or initiation of major new services. Failure to obtain necessary state approval can result in the inability to complete an acquisition or change of ownership, the imposition of civil or, in some cases, criminal sanctions, the inability to receive Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement or the revocation of a facility's license. The Company has not experienced and does not expect to experience any material adverse effects from those requirements. Health planning statues and regulatory mechanisms are in place in many states in which the Company operates. These provisions govern the distribution of healthcare services, the number of new and replacement hospital beds, administer required state CON laws, contain healthcare costs, and meet the priorities established therein. Significant CON reforms have been proposed in a number of states, including increases in the capital spending thresholds and exemptions of various services from review requirements. The Company is unable to predict the impact of these changes upon its operations. Federal regulations provide that admissions and utilization of facilities by Medicare and Medicaid patients must be reviewed in order to insure efficient utilization of facilities and services. The law and regulations require Peer Review Organizations ("PROs") to review the appropriateness of Medicare and Medicaid patient admissions and discharges, the quality of care provided, the validity of DRG classifications and the appropriateness of cases of extraordinary length of stay. PROs may deny payment for services provided, assess fines and also have the authority to recommend to HHS that a provider that is in substantial non-compliance with the standards of the PRO be excluded from participating in the Medicare program. The Company has contracted with PROs in each state where it does business as to the scope of such functions. The Company's healthcare operations generate medical waste that must be disposed of in compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws, rules and regulations. In 1988, Congress passed the Medical Waste Tracking Act. Infectious waste generators, including hospitals, now face substantial penalties for improper arrangements regarding disposal of medical waste, including civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day of noncompliance, criminal penalties of $150,000 per day, imprisonment, and remedial costs. The comprehensive legislation establishes programs for medical waste treatment and disposal in designated states. The legislation also provides for sweeping inspection authority in the Environmental Protection Agency, including monitoring and testing. The Company believes that its disposal of such wastes is in compliance with all state and federal laws. LIABILITY INSURANCE For most of its hospitals, the Company is self-insured for its general liability risks for claims limited to $5 million per occurrence and for its professional liability risks for claims limited to $25 million per occurrence. Coverage in excess of these limits up to $100 million is maintained with major insurance carriers. During 1994 and 1993, the Company purchased general and professional liability occurrence policies with commercial insurers for two of its acute care facilities and six of its behavioral health -39- 43 centers. These policies include coverage up to $25 million per occurrence for the acute care hospitals, and from $1 million to $2 million per occurrence for the behavioral health centers, subject to certain aggregate limits, in each case without the payment of any deductible, for general and professional liability risks. Although the Company feels that it currently has adequate insurance coverage, the commercial policies are limited to one-year terms and require annual renegotiation or replacement. The Company has no assurance that it will be able to maintain such insurance in the future on terms acceptable to the Company. RELATIONS WITH UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST The Company serves as advisor to Universal Health Realty Income Trust ("UHT"), which leases to the Company the real property of 8 facilities operated by the Company. In addition, UHT holds interests in properties owned by unrelated companies. The Company receives a fee for its advisory services based on the value of UHT's assets. In addition, certain of the directors and officers of the Company serve as trustees and officers of UHT. As of June 1, 1995, the Company owned 7.7% of UHT's outstanding shares and the Company currently has an option to purchase UHT shares in the future at fair market value to enable it to maintain a 5% interest. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS The following summarizes the material long-term indebtedness of the Company. This summary is not a complete description of such indebtedness. Copies of the material agreements relating to such indebtedness have been filed with the Commission and the descriptions set forth below are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements. Commercial Paper Program The Company has a loan facility pursuant to which it may borrow on a non-recourse basis up to $50 million, secured by patients accounts receivable. The Company has sufficient accounts receivable to support a larger program, and, upon the mutual consent of the Company and its participating lenders, the commitment can be increased. A commitment fee of 0.76% is required on this facility. At May 31, 1995, $32,385,000 was available for borrowing under the facility. The Company's average interest rate, including the commitment fee, over the five months ended May 31, 1995 was 7.34% Revolving Credit Agreement The Company has a $225 million unsecured non-amortizing revolving credit agreement with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as agent, and certain other lenders. Obligations under this agreement are guaranteed by UHS' subsidiaries. The agreement provides for an initial commitment of $225 million which will be reduced to $210 million on March 31, 1998, and to $185 million on March 31, 1999. The agreement will expire on March 31, 2000. Loans under the agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at the option of the Company, either (i) the prime rate or the sum of the certificate of deposit rate and between 0.625% to 1.125%, or (ii) in the case of Eurodollar loans, the sum of the Eurodollar rate and -40- 44 between 0.500% to 1.00%. A commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.375% is required for the unused portion of the commitment. The margin over the certificate of deposit, the margin over the Eurodollar rate and the commitment fee are based on leverage and coverage ratios. In addition, the agreement contains a provision whereby half of the net consideration in excess of $25 million from the disposition of assets will be used to reduce the commitment. At May 31, 1995, $225 million was available for borrowing under the agreement and the commitment will be reduced to $125 million in the event that the acquisition of Manatee Memorial Hospital is not consummated by December 31, 1995. The agreement limits the Company's ability to incur indebtedness, to declare or pay dividends, to exceed capital expenditure limits, to prepay subordinated debt, to purchase or redeem the Company's stock, to use proceeds of the loans other than for its general corporate purposes, to make (additional) acquisitions, to create or incur liens on assets, or to merge, consolidate, reorganize, and to liquidate. Also, the agreement requires that the Company meet certain financial tests, and provides the lenders with the right to terminate the commitment and to require the payment of all of the amounts outstanding under the agreement in the event the Company fails to pay amount when due, the Company makes material misrepresentations in its warranties or representations, the Company commences a voluntary case in bankruptcy or has an involuntary case in bankruptcy commenced against it, any person acquires 25% or more of its voting common stock, or the Company fails to perform any covenant pursuant to the agreement. Other The Company has an aggregate of $21,724,000 in outstanding revenue bonds at varying maturities through 2015 secured by liens on the property of four facilities. Interest is at floating rates which ranged from 5.5% to 6.9% in 1994 and one bond is at a fixed interest rate of 8.3%. The Company also has various mortgages, notes payable and demand credit facilities which aggregated approximately $13,300,000 at May 31, 1995. DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES The Debt Securities will be issued under the indenture dated as of July ___, 1995 (the "Indenture"), between UHS and PNC Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). A copy of the form of Indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

The Debt Securities will be issued only in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, or in such other currencies or denominations as may be specified in, or pursuant to, the Authorizing Resolution and/or supplemental indenture relating to such Series of Debt Securities. The Debt Securities will be senior unsecured obligations of UHS. Except as otherwise specified in the Authorizing Resolution and/or supplemental indenture relating to the Debt Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is being delivered, principal and interest will be payable, and the Debt Securities will be transferable, at the office of the Trustee in New York, New York. At UHS' option, -42- 46 interest may be paid by check mailed to the registered holders of the Debt Securities. UHS may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with certain transfers or exchanges. Initially, the Trustee will act as paying agent and registrar under the Indenture. UHS may act as paying agent and registrar and may change any paying agent or registrar without notice. Except as otherwise specified in the Authorizing Resolution and/or supplemental indenture relating to the Debt Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is being delivered, the Debt Securities do not contain event risk provisions designed to require UHS to redeem the Debt Securities or take other actions in response to highly leveraged transactions, change in credit rating or other similar occurrences. The Debt Securities of a Series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities ("Global Securities") that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary (the "Depositary") identified in the Supplement relating to such Series. Global Securities may be issued only in fully registered form and either temporary or permanent form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Debt Securities represented thereby, a Global Security (i) may not be transferred except as a whole and (ii) may only be transferred (A) by the Depositary for such Global Security to its nominee, (B) by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or (C) by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or nominee of such successor Depositary. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a Series of Debt Securities will be described in the Supplement relating to such Series. DEFINITIONS "Attributable Debt" means, with respect to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction as of any particular time, the present value (discounted at the rate of interest implicit in the terms of the lease) of the obligations of the lessee under such lease for net rental payments during the remaining term of the lease (including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of UHS, be extended).

Principal Property of UHS shall not include accounts receivable or inventory of UHS or any Subsidiary of UHS; provided, however, that individual items of property, plant, equipment or individual facilities of UHS or any Subsidiary of UHS shall not be combined in determining whether such property, plant, equipment or facility constitutes a Principal Property of UHS, whether or not they are the subject of the same transaction or series of transactions. "Sale and Leaseback Transaction" is defined in the "Restrictions on Sales and Leasebacks" covenant described below.

"Subsidiary" means (i) a corporation a majority of whose capital stock with voting power, under ordinary circumstances, to elect directors is at the time, directly or indirectly, owned by UHS, by UHS and a Subsidiary (or Subsidiaries) of UHS or by a Subsidiary (or Subsidiaries) of UHS or (ii) any person (other than a corporation) in which UHS, a Subsidiary (or Subsidiaries) of UHS or UHS and a Subsidiary (or Subsidiaries) of UHS, directly or indirectly, at the date of determination thereof has at least majority ownership interest. RESTRICTIONS ON LIENS UHS will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of UHS to, incur, create, assume or otherwise become liable with respect to any Indebtedness secured by a Lien, or guarantee any Indebtedness with a guarantee which is secured by a Lien, on any Principal Property of UHS or any shares of Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any Consolidated Subsidiary, without effectively providing that the Debt Securities (together with, if UHS shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of UHS then existing or thereafter created ranking equally with the Debt Securities) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the option of UHS, prior to) such secured Indebtedness so long as such secured Indebtedness shall be so secured; provided, however, that this covenant will not apply to Indebtedness secured by: (a) Liens existing on the date of the Indenture; (b) Liens in favor of governmental bodies to secure progress, advance or -44- 48 other payments; (c) Liens existing on property, Capital Stock or Indebtedness at the time of acquisition thereof (including acquisition through lease, merger or consolidation) or Liens to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price thereof or the purchase price of construction, installation, renovation, improvement or development thereon or thereof or to secure any Indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 360 days after the later of the acquisition, completion of such construction, installation, renovation, improvement or development or the commencement of full operation of such property or within 360 days after the acquisition of such Capital Stock or Indebtedness for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof; (d) Liens securing Indebtedness in an aggregate amount which, at the time of incurrence and together with all outstanding Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions permitted by clause (y) in the "Restrictions on Sales and Leasebacks" covenant, does not exceed 5% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of UHS and its Subsidiaries; and (e) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), as a whole or in part, of any Liens referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (d) inclusive; provided, that such extension, renewal or replacement of such Lien is limited to all or any part of the same property, Capital Stock or Indebtedness that secured the Lien extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property), and that such secured Indebtedness at such time is not increased. RESTRICTIONS ON SALES AND LEASEBACKS UHS will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of UHS to, sell or transfer any Principal Property of UHS, with UHS or such Subsidiary taking back a lease of such Principal Property of UHS (a "Sale and Leaseback Transaction"), unless (i) such Principal Property of UHS is sold within 360 days from the date of acquisition of such Principal Property of UHS or the date of the completion of construction or commencement of full operations of such Principal Property of UHS, whichever is later, or (ii) UHS or such Subsidiary, within 120 days after such sale, applies or causes to be applied to the retirement of Funded Debt of UHS or any Subsidiary (other than Funded Debt of UHS which by its terms or the terms of the instrument pursuant to which it was issued is subordinate in right of payment to the Debt Securities) an amount not less than the greater of (A) the net proceeds of the sale of such Principal Property of UHS or (B) the fair value (as determined in any manner approved by the Board of Directors) of such Principal Property of UHS. The provisions of this covenant shall not prevent a Sale and Leaseback Transaction (x) if the lease entered into by UHS or such Subsidiary in connection therewith is for a period, including renewals, of not more than 36 months, (y) if UHS or such Subsidiary would, at the time of entering into such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, be entitled, with out equally and ratably securing the Debt Securities, to create or assume a Lien on such Principal Property of UHS securing Indebtedness in an amount at least equal to the Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to clause (d) above in the "Restrictions on Liens" covenant or (z) involving a Sale and Leaseback of a Principal Property of UHS to UHT not exceeding 5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. -45- 49 RANKING The Debt Securities constitute senior unsecured obligations of UHS. As of May 31, 1995, UHS had approximately $35 million of indebtedness outstanding which would rank pari passu with the Debt Securities. Creditors of UHS' Subsidiaries will have a claim on the assets of such Subsidiaries which will be prior to the holders of the Debt Securities. Indebtedness under UHS' revolving credit agreement is guaranteed by Subsidiaries of UHS. Except as otherwise specified in the Authorizing Resolution and/or supplemental indenture relating to the Debt Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is being delivered, there are no limitations in the Indenture relating to the Debt Securities on the amount of additional Indebtedness which may rank pari passu with the Debt Securities or on the amount of Indebtedness, secured or otherwise, which may be incurred or preferred stock which may be issued by any of UHS' Subsidiaries; provided, that the incurrence of secured Indebtedness by UHS is subject to the limitations set forth in the "Restrictions on Liens" covenant. DISCHARGE Except as specifically set forth in the Indenture, UHS may terminate its obligations under any Series of Debt Securities and the Indenture with respect to such Series, at any time, (a) by delivering all outstanding Debt Securities of such Series to the Trustee for cancellation and paying any other sums payable by it under such Debt Securities and the Indenture with respect to such Series, or (b) after giving notice to the Trustee of its intention to defease all of the Debt Securities of such Series by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee or a paying agent (other than UHS or a Subsidiary) (i) in the case of any Debt Securities of any Series denominated in United States dollars, cash or U.S. Government Obligations (as defined in the Indenture) sufficient to pay all remaining Indebtedness on such Debt Securities and (ii) in the case of any Debt Securities of any Series denominated in any currency other than United States dollars, an amount of the Required Currency (as defined in the Indenture) sufficient to pay all remaining Indebtedness on such Debt Securities; provided that if such irrevocable deposit pursuant to (b) above is made on or prior to one year from the Stated Maturity for payment of principal of such Series of Debt Securities, UHS shall have delivered to the Trustee either an opinion of counsel with no material qualifications or a favorable ruling of the Internal Revenue Service, in either case to the effect that holders of such Debt Securities (i) will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit (and the defeasance contemplated in connection therewith) and (ii) will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred. MERGER AND CONSOLIDATION UHS shall not consolidate with or merge with or into any other corporation or transfer all or substantially all of its property and assets as an entirety to any person, in one or a series of related transactions, unless (i) UHS shall be the continuing person or the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which UHS is merged or to which the properties and assets of UHS as an entirety are transferred is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the -46- 50 District of Columbia which expressly assumes all of the obligations of UHS under the Debt Securities and the Indenture and (ii) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER Modification and amendment of the Indenture may be made by UHS and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of all Series affected thereby (voting as a single class); provided that such modification or amendment may not, without the consent of the holder of the Debt Securities affected thereby, (i) extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of or any installment of interest with respect to the Debt Securities; (ii) reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, or alter the redemption provisions with respect to, the Debt Securities; (iii) change the currency of payment of principal of or interest on the Debt Securities; (iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Debt Securities; (v) reduce the above-stated percentage of holders of the Debt Securities necessary to modify or amend the Indenture; or (vi) modify the foregoing requirements or reduce the percentage of outstanding Debt Securities necessary to waive any covenant or past default. Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of all Series affected thereby (voting as a single class) may waive certain past defaults and may waive compliance by UHS with any provision of the Indenture or such Debt Securities (subject to the immediately preceding sentence); provided, that, only the holders of a majority in principal amount of Debt Securities of a particular Series may waive compliance with a provision of the Indenture or the Debt Securities of such Series having applicability solely to such Series. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND NOTICE THEREOF The term "Event of Default" when used in the Indenture with respect to any Series of Debt Securities, means any one of the following: (i) failure of UHS to pay interest on such Series of Debt Securities within 30 days of when due or principal on such Series of Debt Securities when due (including any sinking fund installment); (ii) failure to perform any other agreement in the Debt Securities of such Series or the Indenture other than an agreement relating solely to another Series of Debt Securities for 30 days after notice; (iii) acceleration of Indebtedness of UHS or any Significant Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture) under the terms of the instruments evidencing such Indebtedness aggregating more than $5 million at the time outstanding; (iv) a default in the payment of principal of or interest in respect of any Indebtedness of UHS or any Significant Subsidiary having an outstanding principal amount of $5 million individually or in the aggregate; (v) judgments for the payment of more than $5 million at the time outstanding rendered against UHS or any Significant Subsidiary and not discharged within 60 days after such judgment becomes final and nonappealable; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to UHS or any Significant Subsidiary. Additional or different Events of Default, if any, applicable to the Series of Debt Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is being delivered are specified in the accompanying Supplement. -47- 51 The Indenture provides that the Trustee shall, within 60 days after the occurrence of any default (the term "default" to include the events specified above without grace or notice) with respect to any Series of Debt Securities actually known to it, give to the holders of such Debt Securities notice of such default; provided that, except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Debt Securities or in the payment of any sinking fund installment, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if it in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the holders of such Debt Securities. The Indenture will require UHS to certify to the Trustee quarterly as to whether any default occurred during such quarter. In case an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default resulting from bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of UHS) with respect to any Debt Securities of such Series shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such Series then outstanding, by notice in writing to UHS (and to the Trustee if given by the holders of the Debt Securities of such Series), may declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on such Debt Securities then outstanding to be due and payable immediately. In case an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of UHS shall occur, all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on all Debt Securities then outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the holders of any Debt Securities. Such acceleration may be annulled and past defaults (except, unless theretofore cured, a default in payment of principal of or interest on the Debt Securities of such Series) may be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of such Series then outstanding upon the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that no holder of the Debt Securities of such Series may pursue any remedy under the Indenture unless the Trustee shall have failed to act after, among other things, notice of an Event of Default and request by holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of the Series of which the Event of Default has occurred and the offer to the Trustee of indemnity satisfactory to it; provided, however, that such provision does not affect the right to sue for enforcement of any overdue payment on such Debt Securities. THE TRUSTEE PNC Bank, National Association will be Trustee under the Indenture. The Indenture contains certain limitations on the right of the Trustee, as a creditor of UHS, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; provided, however, if it acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict or resign. The holders of a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities of a Series (or if more than one Series is affected thereby, of all Series so affected voting as a single class) will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy or power available to the Trustee. -48- 52 In case an Event of Default shall occur (and shall not be cured) and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any of the holders of Debt Securities unless they shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it. GOVERNING LAW The Indenture and the Debt Securities will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

F - 1 55 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Universal Health Services, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Universal Health Services, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, common stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These consolidated financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Universal Health Services, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES: See Notes 2, 3 and 6 The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. F - 6 60 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Universal Health Services, Inc. (the "Company") is primarily engaged in owning and operating acute care and psychiatric hospitals and ambulatory treatment centers. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its majority-owned subsidiaries and partnerships controlled by the Company as the managing general partner. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The more significant accounting policies follow: NET REVENUES: Net revenues are reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payers, and others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with third-party payers. These net revenues are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Medicare and Medicaid net revenues represented 39%, 43% and 44% of net patient revenues for the years 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively, excluding the additional revenues from special Medicaid reimbursement programs described in Note 9. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements are charged to the property accounts. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective asset are expensed as incurred. The Company removes the cost and the related accumulated depreciation from the accounts for assets sold or retired and the resulting gains or losses are included in the results of operations. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements (twenty to forty years) and equipment (five to fifteen years). OTHER ASSETS: The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired in purchase transactions, net of accumulated amortization of $47,663,000 in 1993 and $52,261,000 in 1994 is amortized using the straightine method over periods ranging from five to forty years. During 1992 the Company recorded a $13.5 million charge to amortization expense due to a revaluation of certain goodwill balances. During 1994, the Company established an employee life insurance program covering approximately 2,500 employees. At December 31, 1994, the cash surrender value of the policies ($41.3 million) was recorded net of related loans ($41.0 million) and is included in other assets. LONG-LIVED ASSETS: It is the Company's policy to review the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If such review indicates that the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, it is the Company's policy to reduce the carrying amount of such assets to fair value. EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON SHARE EQUIVALENTS: Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year adjusted to give effect to common stock equivalents. The 1994, 1993 and 1992 earnings per share have been adjusted to reflect the assumed conversion of the Company's convertible debentures. In April 1994, the Company redeemed the debentures which reduced the fully diluted number of shares outstanding by 451,233. INCOME TAXES: The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated Federal tax returns. Deferred taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable or deductible in future years as a result of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. OTHER NONCURRENT LIABILITIES: Other noncurrent liabilities include the long-term portion of the Company's professional and general liability and workers' compensation reserves and minority interests in majority owned subsidiaries and partnerships. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS: For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Interest expense in the consolidated statements of income is net of interest income of $515,000, $498,000 and $266,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. F - 7 61 INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS: In managing interest rate exposure, the Company at times enters into interest rate swap agreements. When interest rates change, the differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest expense and is recognized over the life of the agreements. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. 2) ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS AND CLOSURES 1994 -- During 1994 the Company purchased majority interests in two separate partnerships which own and operate outpatient surgery facilities. One of these partnerships was merged with an existing partnership in which the Company held a majority ownership. The Company also agreed to manage the operations of, and purchased a majority interest in, three separate partnerships which lease fixed assets to four radiation therapy centers located in Kentucky. In addition, the Company purchased one radiation center and majority interests in two separate partnerships which own and operate radiation therapy centers. Total consideration for these acquisitions was $14.5 million in cash, and the assumption of liabilities totalling $3.0 million. In November 1994, the Company acquired a 112-bed acute care hospital located in Edinburg, Texas for net cash of approximately $11.3 million and the assumption of liabilities totalling $2.2 million. In connection with this acquisition, the Company committed to invest at least an additional $30 million, over a four year period, to renovate the existing facility and construct an additional facility. During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire a 225-bed acute and psychiatric care hospital located in Aiken, South Carolina in exchange for a 104-bed acute care hospital, a 126-bed acute and psychiatric care hospital and cash. The majority of the real estate assets of the 126-bed facility are currently being leased from Universal Health Realty Income Trust (the "Trust") pursuant to the terms of an operating lease which expires in 2000. The Company anticipates exchanging additional real estate assets with the Trust as consideration for the purchase of the real estate assets of this facility (See Note 8). The closing of this transaction, which is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 1995, is subject to a number of conditions including regulatory approval. As a result of this transaction a $4.3 million charge is included in the 1994 consolidated statement of income. Also during the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire a 512-bed acute care hospital located in Bradenton, Florida. The closing of this transaction is subject to a number of conditions. Although management does not expect to close this transaction until the second quarter of 1995, the Company began to manage the hospital in January, 1995 under a separate management contract. Total cash consideration for the Aiken and Bradenton acquisitions is expected to approximate $200 million. Operating results of the hospital located in Edinburg have been included in the financial statements only from the date of acquisition. Assuming the above Edinburg, Aiken and Bradenton acquisitions had been completed as of January 1, 1994 the unaudited pro forma net revenues and net income would have been $952 million and $32 million, respectively. In addition, the unaudited pro forma earnings per share would have been $2.25. The unaudited pro forma financial information may not be indicative of results that would have been reported if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 1994 and may not be indicative of future operating results. 1993 -- During 1993 the Company purchased a radiation therapy center and majority interests in four separate partnerships which own and operate ambulatory surgery facilities for $11.5 million in cash and the assumption of liabilities totaling $300,000. During the fourth quarter, the Company sold the operations and fixed assets of a 124-bed acute care hospital for approximately $7.8 million in cash. The Company also sold the operations and certain fixed assets of a 134-bed acute care hospital for cash of $1.5 million. Concurrently, the Company sold certain related real property to Universal Health Realty Income Trust (the "Trust"), an affiliate and the lessor of this 134-bed acute care hospital, for $1 million in cash and a note receivable of $900,000 (see Note 8). In connection with this transaction, the Company's lease with the Trust for this property was terminated. The disposition of these two facilities resulted in a pre-tax loss of $4.4 million ($2.2 million after tax), which is included in nonrecurring charges in the 1993 consolidated statement of income. F - 8 62 Also during 1993, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $4.4 million related to the winding down or disposition of other non-strategic businesses which is included in nonrecurring charges in the 1993 consolidated statement of income. 1992 -- During 1992 the Company purchased majority interests in four separate partnerships which own and operate ambulatory surgery facilities for $7.2 million in cash and the assumption of liabilities totaling $5.4 million. Also during 1992, the Company discontinued operations at a 96-bed acute care hospital and sold the fixed assets of this facility for $3.4 million. The closing and sale of this hospital did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. 3) LONG-TERM DEBT A summary of long-term debt follows:
DECEMBER 31 -------------------------- 1993 1994 ----------- ----------- LONG-TERM DEBT: Notes payable (including obligations under capitalized leases of $12,132,000 in 1993 and $14,004,000 in 1994) with varying maturities through 2001; weighted average interest at 7.0% in 1993 and 6.9% in 1994 (see Note 6 regarding capitalized leases)...................... $13,727,000 $19,442,000 Mortgages payable, interest at 6.0% to 11.0% with varying maturities through 2000........................................................ 3,811,000 3,745,000 Revolving credit and demand notes..................................... 4,600,000 8,950,000 Commercial paper...................................................... -- 38,500,000 Revenue bonds: interest at floating rates ranging from 5.5% to 6.9% and one at a fixed 18,200,000 18,200,000 rate of 8.3% at December 31, 1994 with varying maturities through 2015 9,151,000 3,524,000 Subordinated debt................................................... 29,905,000 -- ----------- ----------- 79,394,000 92,361,000 Less-Amounts due within one year.................................... 4,313,000 7,236,000 ----------- ----------- $75,081,000 $85,125,000 =========== ===========
During 1994, the Company increased its commercial paper facility from $25 million to $50 million. The facility is a daily valued program which is secured by patient accounts receivable. The Company has sufficient patient receivables to support a larger program, and upon the mutual consent of the Company and the participating lending institutions, the commitment can be increased. A fee of .76% is required on this $50 million commitment. Outstanding amounts of commercial paper that can be refinanced through available borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement are classified as long-term. The Company entered into an unsecured $125 million non-amortizing revolving credit agreement in 1994 which matures in August of 1999 and provides for interest, at the Company's option, at the prime rate, certificate of deposit rate plus 5/8% to 1 1/8% or Euro-dollar plus 1/2% to 1%. A fee ranging from 1/8% to 3/8% is required on the unused portion of this commitment. The margins over the certificate of deposit, the Euro-dollar rates and the commitment fee are based upon leverage and coverage ratios. At December 31, 1994 the applicable margins over the certificate of deposit and the Euro-dollar rate were 7/8% and 3/4%, respectively, and the commitment fee was 1/4%. There are no compensating balance requirements. The agreement contains a provision whereby 50% of the net consideration, in excess of $25 million, from the disposition of assets will be applied to reduce commitments. At December 31, 1994, the Company had $125 million of unused borrowing capacity, and there were no borrowings outstanding under this revolving credit agreement. The average amounts outstanding during 1992, 1993 and 1994 under the revolving credit and demand notes and commercial paper program were $47,318,000, $25,069,000 and $16,324,000, respectively, with corresponding effective interest rates of 5.5%, 4.6% and 7.9% including commitment fees. The maximum amounts outstanding at any month-end were $91,650,000, $46,800,000 and $47,450,000 during 1992, 1993 and 1994 respectively. F - 9 63 The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate revolving credit and demand notes and commercial paper program. At December 31, 1994, the Company had two interest rate swap agreements with commercial banks having a total notional principal amount of $30 million. These agreements call for the payment of interest at a fixed rate by the Company in return for the payment by the commercial banks of a variable rate interest, which effectively fixes the Company's interest rate on a portion of its floating rate debt at 11.9%. The interest rate swap agreements in the amounts of $20 million and $10 million expire in January, 1995 and March, 1996, respectively. The effective interest rate on the Company's revolving credit and demand notes and commercial paper program including interest rate swap expense was 11.2%, 13.9% and 16.1% during 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. Additional interest expense recorded as a result of the Company's hedging activity was $4,158,000, $3,160,000 and $1,981,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements. These counterparties are major financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties which are rated AA or better by Moody's Investors Service. The cost to terminate the swap obligations at December 31, 1993 and 1994, was approximately $4,870,000 and $2,133,000, respectively. Covenants relating to long-term debt require maintenance of a minimum net worth, specified debt to total capital, debt to EBITDA and fixed charge coverage ratios. Covenants also limit the Company's ability to incur additional senior debt and to pay cash dividends and repurchase its shares and limit capital expenditures, among other restrictions. During 1994, the Company called its 7 1/2% subordinated convertible debentures due 2008. Approximately $11 million of the debentures were redeemed in cash and $19 million were converted to the Company's class B stock. Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are pledged as collateral to secure debt. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt at December 31, 1994 was approximately equal to its carrying value. The Company is currently negotiating an increase to its revolving credit agreement. In connection with this transaction and other potential debt transactions to finance the acquisitions discussed in Note 2, the Company has entered into two options for interest rate swap agreements to become effective June, 1995, with a notional amount of $75 million and expiration dates in 2005. Aggregate maturities follow: ----------------------------- 1995 $ 7,236,000 1996 5,721,000 1997 4,540,000 1998 2,647,000 1999 48,733,000 Later 23,484,000 ----------------------------- Total $92,361,000 -----------------------------
4) COMMON STOCK During 1993 and 1994, the Company repurchased 224,800 and 509,800 shares of Class B Common Stock respectively at an average purchase price of $14.39 and $25.79 per share, respectively, or an aggregate of approximately $3.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively. All repurchases during 1994 were made subsequent to March 1, 1994. The Company's ability to repurchase its shares is limited by long-term debt covenants to $50 million plus 50% of cumulative net income since March, 1994. Under the terms of these covenants, the Company had the ability to repurchase an additional $61.6 million of its Common Stock as of December 31, 1994. The repurchased shares are treated as retired. At December 31, 1994 2,598,439 shares of Class B Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon conversion of shares of Class A, C and D Common Stock outstanding, for issuance upon exercise of options to purchase Class B Common Stock, and for issuance of stock under other incentive plans. Class A, C and D Common Stock are convertible on a share for share basis into Class B Common Stock. F - 10 64 In 1994, the Company adopted a Stock Compensation Plan which was approved by the Board of Directors. Under the terms of the Stock Compensation Plan, shares may be granted to key employees of the Company and to consultants and independent contractors. Shares may not be granted to officers or directors of the Company. The Plan will terminate on November 16, 2004, unless terminated sooner by the Board. At December 31, 1994 the Company has reserved 50,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock for the Stock Compensation Plan. In 1994, 1,800 shares were issued. In 1992, the Company adopted a Stock Bonus Plan and a Stock Ownership Plan, both of which were approved by the stockholders at the 1992 annual meeting. Under the terms of the Stock Bonus Plan, eligible employees may elect to receive all or part of their annual bonuses in shares of restricted stock (the "Bonus Shares"). Those electing to receive Bonus Shares also receive additional restricted shares in an amount equal to 20% of their Bonus Shares (the "Premium Shares"). Restrictions on one-half of the Bonus Shares and one-half of the Premium Shares lapse after one year and the restrictions on the remaining shares lapse after two years. The Company has reserved 150,000 shares of Class B Common Stock for this plan and has issued 58,178 shares at December 31, 1994. Under the terms of the Stock Ownership Plan, eligible employees may purchase shares of common stock, directly from the Company, at the market price. The Company will loan each eligible employee an amount equal to 90% of the purchase price for the shares. The loans, which are partially recourse to the employee, bear interest at the applicable Federal rate and are due five years from the purchase date. Shares purchased under this plan are restricted from sale or transfer. Restrictions on one-half of the shares lapse after one year and restrictions on the remaining shares lapse after two years. The Company has reserved 100,000 shares of Class B Common Stock for this plan. As of December 31, 1994, 31,234 shares were sold under the terms of this plan. The Company also has a Restricted Stock Purchase Plan which allows eligible participants to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock at par value, subject to certain restrictions. Under the terms of this plan, 300,000 shares of Class B Common Stock have been reserved for purchase by officers, key employees and consultants. The restrictions lapse as to one-third of the shares on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary dates of the purchase. The Company has issued 153,513 shares under this plan, of which 45,000 and 41,336 became fully vested during 1993 and 1994, respectively. Compensation expense, based on the difference between the market price on the date of purchase and par value, is being amortized over the restriction period and was $265,000 in 1992, $240,000 in 1993, $148,000 in 1994. Stock options to purchase Class B Common Stock have been granted to officers, key employees and directors of the Company under various plans. During 1994, subject to shareholder approval, the Board of Directors approved a 600,000 share increase in the reserve for Class B Common Stock available for grant, pursuant to the terms of the 1992 Stock Option Plan. All stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of the grant. Options are exercisable ratably over a four year period beginning one year after the date of the grant. The options expire five years after the date of the grant. F - 11 65 Information with respect to these options is summarized as follows:

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," (SFAS 109). Under SFAS 109, deferred taxes are required to be classified based on the financial statement classification of the related assets and liabilities which give rise to temporary differences. The net effect of the impact of the 1993 tax law changes on the 1993 current and deferred tax provisions was immaterial. F - 12 66 Deferred taxes result from temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The components of deferred taxes are as follows:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 --------------------------- 1993 1994 ----------- ----------- Self-insurance reserves ................................................. $29,134,000 $28,944,000 Doubtful accounts and other reserves .................................... 6,270,000 9,921,000 State income taxes ...................................................... (1,546,000) (126,000) Other deferred tax assets ............................................... 491,000 382,000 Depreciable and amortizable assets ...................................... (22,434,000) (17,319,000) Conversion from cash basis to accrual basis of accounting ............... (7,634,000) (5,017,000) Other deferred tax liabilities .......................................... (411,000) (1,101,000) ---------- ----------- Total deferred taxes ................................................ $3,870,000 $15,684,000 ========== ===========
A reconciliation between the federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 ----------------------- 1992 1993 1994 ----- ----- ----- Federal statutory rate ........................... 34.0% 35.0% 35.0% Nondeductible (deductible) depreciation, amortization and other .......................... 13.0 (3.9) 1.6 State taxes, net of Federal income tax benefit .... 4.1 0.5 2.2 ---- ---- ---- Effective tax rate ................................ 51.1% 31.6% 38.8% ==== ==== ====
In 1993 and 1994, the Company reviewed its deferred state tax balances and as a result reduced its tax provision by $780,000 and $390,000, respectively. The net deferred tax assets and liabilities are comprised as follows:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 --------------------------- 1993 1994 ----------- ----------- Current deferred taxes Assets .......................................................... $10,723,000 $16,622,000 Liabilities ..................................................... (2,990,000) (3,680,000) ---------- ----------- Total deferred taxes-current .................................... 7,733,000 12,942,000 Noncurrent deferred taxes Assets .......................................................... 25,172,000 22,625,000 Liabilities ..................................................... (29,035,000) (19,883,000) ---------- ----------- Total deferred taxes-noncurrent ................................. (3,863,000) 2,742,000 ---------- ----------- Total deferred taxes .............................................. $3,870,000 $15,684,000 ========== ===========
The assets and liabilities classified as current relate primarily to the allowance for uncollectible patient accounts and the current portion of the temporary differences related to self-insurance reserves and the change in accounting method. Under SFAS 109, a valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has not provided a valuation allowance since management believes that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized through the reversal of temporary differences that result in deferred tax liabilities and through expected future taxable income. F - 13 67 6) LEASE COMMITMENTS Certain of the Company's hospital and medical office facilities and equipment are held under operating or capital leases which expire through 2013 (See Note 8). Certain of these leases also contain provisions allowing the Company to purchase the leased assets during the term or at the expiration of the lease at fair market value. A summary of property under capital lease follows:
DECEMBER 31 --------------------------- 1993 1994 ----------- ----------- Land, buildings and equipment ............. $18,937,000 $23,697,000 Less: accumulated amortization ............ 6,400,000 10,426,000 ----------- ----------- $12,537,000 $13,271,000 =========== ===========
Future minimum rental payments under lease commitments with a term of more than one year as of December 31, 1994 are as follows:
CAPITAL OPERATING YEAR LEASES LEASES - ---- ----------- ------------ 1995 ................................................. $ 5,581,000 $ 23,693,000 1996 ................................................. 4,716,000 21,011,000 1997 ................................................. 3,363,000 18,371,000 1998 ................................................. 1,618,000 17,012,000 1999 ................................................. 381,000 16,405,000 Later Years .......................................... -- 36,536,000 ----------- ------------ Total minimum rental ................................. $15,659,000 $133,028,000 ============ Less: Amount representing interest ................... 1,655,000 ----------- Present value of minimum rental commitments .......... 14,004,000 Less: Current portion of capital lease obligations ... 4,729,000 ----------- Long-term portion of capital lease obligations ....... $9,275,000 ===========
Capital lease obligations of $7,310,000, $5,371,000, $4,654,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994 respectively, were incurred when the Company entered into capital leases for new equipment. 7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is self-insured for its general liability risks for claims limited to $5 million per occurrence and for its professional liability risks for claims limited to $25 million per occurrence. Coverage in excess of these limits up to $100 million is maintained with major insurance carriers. During 1993 and 1994, the Company purchased a general and professional liability occurrence policy with a commercial insurer for one of its larger acute care facilities. This policy includes coverage up to $25 million per occurrence for general and professional liability risks. As of December 1993 and 1994, the reserve for professional and general liability risks was $65.2 million and $62.4 million, respectively, of which $8.3 million in 1993 and $11.0 million in 1994 is included in current liabilities. Self-insurance reserves are based upon actuarially determined estimates. The Company has outstanding letters of credit totalling $20 million related to the Company's self-insurance programs ($11.0 million), as support for various debt instruments ($.4 million) and as support for a loan guarantee for an unaffiliated party ($8.6 million). The Company has also guaranteed approximately $2 million of loans. During 1994, the Company signed letters of intent to acquire a 512-bed acute care hospital located in Bradenten, Flordia and a 225-bed acute and psychiatric care facility located in Aiken, South Carolina. These transactions, which are subject to a number of conditions, are expected to be completed during the second quarter of 1995. In addition to the exchange of certain real estate assets, the total cash consideration for these acquisitions F - 14 68 is expected to approximate $200 million. Additionally, the Company is committed to invest at least an additional $30 million, over a four year period, to renovate the existing facility and construct an additional facility related to its 1994 acquisition of a 112-bed acute care hospital located in Edinburg, Texas. (See Note 2). The Company estimates the cost to complete major construction projects in progress at December 31, 1994 will approximate $12.3 million. The Company has entered into a long-term contract with a third party to provide certain data processing services for its acute care and psychiatric hospitals. This contract expires in 1999. Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such claims and litigation will not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. 8) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS At December 31, 1994, the Company held approximately 8% of the outstanding shares of Universal Health Realty Income Trust (the "Trust"). Certain officers and directors of the Company are also officers and/or Directors of the Trust. The Company accounts for its investment in the Trust using the equity method of accounting. The Company's pre-tax share of income/(loss) from the Trust was ($110,000), $757,000 and $1,095,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994 respectively, and is included in net revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The carrying value of this investment at December 31, 1993 and 1994 was $7,375,000 and $8,404,000, respectively and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The market value of this investment at December 31, 1993 and 1994 was $10,352,000 and $11,261,000, respectively. During 1993, pursuant to the terms of its lease with the Trust, the Company purchased the real property of a 48-bed psychiatric hospital located in Texas for $3.2 million. The real property of this hospital was previously leased by the Company and base rental payments continued under the existing lease until the date of sale. Operations at this hospital were discontinued during the first quarter of 1992, however, the facility is currently being utilized for outpatient services at one of the Company's acute care hospitals. Also during 1993, the Company sold to the Trust certain real estate assets of a 134-bed hospital located in Illinois for approximately $1.9 million. These assets consisted of additions and improvements made to the facility by the Company since the sale of the major portion of the real estate assets to the Trust in 1986. The operations of this facility were sold during 1993 to an operator unaffiliated with the Company. As of December 31, 1994, the Company leased eight hospital facilities from the Trust with initial terms expiring in 1999 through 2003. These leases contain up to six 5-year renewal options. Future minimum lease payments to the Trust are included in Note 6. The terms of the lease provide that in the event the Company discontinues operations at the leased facility for more than one year, the Company is obligated to offer a substitute property. If the Trust does not accept the substitute property offered, the Company is obligated to purchase the leased facility back from the Trust at a price equal to the greater of its then fair market value or the original purchase price paid by the Trust (See Note 2). Total rent expense under these operating leases was $17,000,000 in 1992, $16,600,000 in 1993 and $15,700,000 in 1994. The Company received an advisory fee of $913,000 in 1992, $880,000 in 1993 and $909,000 in 1994 from the Trust for investment and administrative services provided under a contractual agreement which is included in net revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. In connection with various stock based compensation plans, $405,000 and $118,000 of loans made to cer tain officers and key employees were forgiven in 1992 and 1994, respectively, and charged to compensation expense. At January 1, 1992, the Company had a non-interest bearing demand note from a principal officer which was fully forgiven during 1992. Compensation expense charged to operations related to this note was $393,000 in 1992. A member of the Company's Board of Directors is a partner in the law firm used by the Company as its principal outside counsel.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting policies and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. (2) EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year adjusted to give effect to common stock equivalents. Earnings per share have been adjusted for the three months ended March 31, 1994 to reflect the assumed conversion of the Company's convertible debentures. In April 1994, the Company redeemed the debentures which reduced the fully diluted number of shares outstanding by 451,233. (3) UNUSUAL ITEMS Included in net revenues for the three month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1995 was $3.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively, of additional revenues received from special Medicaid reimbursements received by one of the Company's acute care facilities which participates in the Texas Medical Assistance Program. Upon meeting certain conditions of participation and serving a disproportionally high share of the state's low income patients, the hospital became eligible and received additional reimbursement from the state's disproportionate share hospital fund. This program is scheduled to terminate in August, 1995 and the Company cannot predict whether this program will continue beyond the scheduled termination date. (4) OTHER LIABILITIES Other noncurrent liabilities include the long-term portion of the Company's professional and general liability and workers' compensation reserves. (5) COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES Under certain agreements, the Company has committed or guaranteed an aggregate of $20,000,000 related principally to the Company's self-insurance programs and as support for various debt instruments and loan guarantees.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. F - 26 80 AIKEN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTERS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1994 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Aiken Regional Medical Centers (the "Company"), owns and operates a 225 bed facility comprised of an acute care hospital (Aiken Regional Medical Center), a psychiatric hospital (Aurora Pavillion) and a cancer center (The Carolina Cancer Center) in Aiken, South Carolina. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Columbia/HCA. In 1989, the Company's then parent (HCA) was acquired in a leveraged buyout transaction accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements include adjustments to reflect to allocation of HCA's cost, including an adjustment to increase the carrying value of property and equipment to fair value ($5,728,000) and to allocate the excess of cost over the fair value of tangible assets acquired to goodwill ($9,364,000). The more significant accounting policies follow: Net Revenues Net revenues are reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. These net revenues are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Medicare and Medicaid revenues represented 39% and 14%, respectively, of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1994. Net revenues in 1994 include $330,000 of favorable adjustments relating to prior year reimbursement issues. The Company participates in the State of South Carolina's Medicaid Disproportionate Share Program. This program provides additional reimbursement to eligible hospitals based on the unreimbursed costs incurred in providing health care services to Medicaid and underinsured patients. Net revenues in 1994 include approximately $4.9 million of additional reimbursement recorded under this program as follows (in thousands): State fiscal year 1989 $ 2,400 State fiscal year 1994 (for the period January 1, 1994 to June 30, 1994) 988 State fiscal year 1995 (for the period July 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994) 1,521 -------------- $ 4,909 ==============
F - 27 81 In 1994, the Company successfully filed an appeal relating to its eligibility to participate in the State's fiscal year 1989 program. As a result of a settlement reached with the State, the Company recorded $2.4 million of net proceeds received in the third quarter, which amount is included in the table above. Under the provisions of the State's fiscal year 1995 program, the Company will be entitled to additional disproportionate share payments through June 30, 1995. Management expects that the Company will be eligible for additional amounts under the State's fiscal year 1996 program (July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996), although the amounts to be received under that program cannot presently be estimated. Management is unable to predict whether these disproportionate share payments will continue beyond the end of the State's fiscal year 1996. Statements of Cash Flows The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Supplies Supplies are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost as described above. Expenditures for renewals and improvements are charged to the property accounts. Replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. The Company removes the cost and the related accumulated depreciation from the accounts for assets sold or retired, and resulting gains or losses are included in the results of operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements (ranging from 5 to 40 years) and equipment (ranging from 4 to 20 years). Goodwill The goodwill amount recorded as described above is being amortized over 40 years. In 1994, amortization expense of $234,000 was charged to operations. Other Assets Other assets consist primarily of loans made to physicians. These loans have maturities ranging from 3 to 6 years and interest rates ranging from 0% to 8.5%. F - 28 82 2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company's parent signed a letter of intent to exchange Aiken Regional Medical Centers for a 104-bed acute care hospital, a 126-bed acute and psychiatric care hospital and cash. The closing of this transaction, which is expected to be completed during June of 1995, is subject to a number of conditions, including regulatory approval. The following assets and liabilities of Aiken Regional Medical Centers are excluded from this exchange: cash and cash equivalents, all intercompany receivables, restricted funds, accounts receivable, inventory, capital lease obligations and long-term indebtedness. The Company's parent insures a substantial portion of its professional liability risks through a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary. Minimum rental commitments under operating leases having an initial or remaining noncancelable lease term of more than one year as of December 31, 1994, are as follows: 1995 $ 414,000 1996 304,000 1997 283,000 1998 239,000 Thereafter _ -------------- $ 1,240,000 ==============
Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such claims and litigation will not materially affect the Company's financial position or results of operations. 3. DEBT ALLOCATED FROM AFFILIATE: The Company's parent has allocated a portion of its outstanding debt to Aiken Regional Medical Centers. In addition, the parent allocates interest incurred on the outstanding balance of this obligation (see Note 6). 4. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS: The Company's employees are eligible to participate in various retirement plans sponsored by Columbia/HCA. Company contributions to these plans represent a percentage of the employee's pay, a percentage of the employee's pay based on years of service or a match of the employee's contribution. Total expense recognized by the Company under these plans was $499,000 in 1994. F - 29 83 5. INCOME TAXES: The Company's parent generally does not allocate federal and state income taxes to its subsidiary companies, including Aiken Regional Medical Centers. For financial reporting purposes only, the Company has estimated a tax provision for federal and state income taxes as if the Company filed a separate tax return. The components of income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 1994, are as follows: Current provision: Federal $ 3,613,000 State 543,000 ------------- 4,156,000 ------------- Deferred benefit: Federal (1,165,000) State (175,000) ------------- (1,340,000) ------------- $ 2,816,000 =============
The financial statements reflect the accounting for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109"). Under FAS 109, deferred taxes are required to be provided based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Temporary differences giving rise to deferred taxes as of December 31, 1994, include doubtful accounts and other reserves, depreciable and amortizable assets and the conversion of cash basis to accrual basis of accounting. Since the Company's parent does not directly charge its subsidiaries for federal and state income taxes, all accrued and deferred tax liabilities have been included in the amount due to affiliate in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company's effective tax rate (41.1%) differs from its federal statutory rate (35%) due primarily to the effect of non-deductible depreciation and amortization (2.8%) and state income taxes, net of federal benefit (3.3%). 6. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS: Columbia/HCA supports the Company in various operating areas and provides centralized cash management and other treasury services. All such intercompany transactions have been included in the accompanying financial statements and are reflected in the amount due to affiliate. Certain common expenses of the consolidated group, including workers' compensation insurance, general and professional liability insurance and data processing services are allocated to the individual subsidiaries. F - 30 84 Parent Company allocations in the accompanying statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1994, are as follows: Included in operating expenses- Insurance $ 919,000 Data processing fees 395,000 Other 22,000 ------------- 1,336,000 Management fees 841,000 Interest 533,000 ------------- Total $ 2,710,000 =============

See accompanying notes. F - 37 91 Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements August 31, 1994 1. OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. (the Organization) is a not-for-profit corporation affiliated through common corporate membership with Baptist Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. (BHHS), an Arizona not-for-profit corporation. The Organization consists of Manatee Memorial Hospital (the Hospital) and related affiliates, Trumed, Inc., Intermed America, Inc., and Manatee Memorial Hospital Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation). The Hospital provides acute care inpatient and ambulatory care services, and Trumed, Inc. and Intermed America, Inc. provide home health care services and outpatient care services, respectively. The Foundation conducts fund-raising activities primarily for the benefit of the Hospital. The operations of these affiliates are combined in the accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Organization purchased from Manatee County (the County) the assets and assumed the obligations of Manatee Memorial Hospital on July 25, 1984. The Organization entered into an agreement with the County to provide medical care to qualified indigent County residents. The agreement requires the Organization to provide $150,000 of medical education services to County residents annually through September 1, 2000. As additional consideration, the Organization has agreed to make its best efforts to make certain capital improvements and additions to the Organization and to limit future management fees to BHHS to a certain percentage of gross patient service charges. MISSION STATEMENT AND NONOPERATING GAINS AND LOSSES The primary mission of the Organization is to provide health care services through its acute care and specialty care facilities. Only those activities directly associated with the furtherance of this purpose are considered to be operating activities. Other activities that result in gains or losses unrelated to the primary mission of the Organization are considered to be nonoperating. CHARITY CARE The Organization provides care to patients that meet certain criteria under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than its established rates. A patient is classified as a charity patient by reference to certain policies established by the Organization. Partial payments to which the Organization is entitled from public assistance and other programs on behalf of patients that F - 38 92 Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 1. OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) meet the Organization's charity care criteria are reported as patient service revenue. The Organization considers the difference between established rates and such partial payments from public assistance and other programs to be charity care. The Organization maintains records to identify the level of charity care provided. These records include the amount of charges foregone for services and supplies furnished under its charity care policy. The level of charity care provided (charges foregone, based upon established rates) totaled $22,200,000 in 1993 and $24,000,000 in 1994. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE Net patient service revenue includes amounts estimated by management to be reimbursable by Medicare, Medicaid, and other third-party programs. The Organization recognizes estimated final settlements due from or to third-party programs. The final determination of reimbursement amounts is subject to audit by the intermediaries and final settlements are reflected in these statements for cost reports through the year ended August 31, 1992. Differences between estimated provisions and final settlements are reflected as net patient service revenue in the fiscal year the cost reports are finalized. Net patient service revenue includes approximately $1,994,000 recognized in the current year due to changes in estimated settlements. Presented below are the components of net patient service revenue presented in the combined statements of revenue and expenses:
YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31 1993 1994 ------------------------------- (In Thousands) Total patient service charges $201,375 $202,028 Less contractual adjustments and other deductions from revenue (83,370) (87,214) ------------------------------- Net patient service revenue $118,005 $114,814 ===============================
ESTIMATED MEDICARE SETTLEMENTS The Organization is covered under the Medicare Prospective Payment System (PPS) and is reimbursed a predetermined amount for inpatient services based, for the most part, on the Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) assigned to the patient. Since the amount is prospectively determined, retroactive settlements are not made for inpatient services under PPS. F - 39 93 Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 1. OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Medicare outpatient services, bad debts, home health care services, and certain capital-related costs are reimbursed on a cost basis. Medicare cost reports are filed annually for reimbursement of these costs. Retroactive cost settlements are estimated and recorded in the financial statements for these amounts. Charges for services to patients under the Medicare program as a percent of gross patient service charges approximated 54 percent in 1993 and 55 percent in 1994. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include investments in highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at date of acquisition, excluding amounts whose use is limited by Board designation or other arrangements under trust agreements. INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME Marketable securities are carried at cost which approximates market value. Investment earnings on assets whose use is limited are reported as other revenue. All other investment earnings are reported as nonoperating gains. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost at date of acquisition or fair market value at date of donation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. At August 31, 1994, the estimated cost to complete construction projects is approximately $200,000. INCOME TAXES The Hospital and Trumed, Inc. are exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state income taxes under the provisions of Chapter 220.13 of the Florida Statutes. The Foundation is exempt under Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue F - 40 94 Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 1. OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Code. Accordingly, income earned in furtherance of the Organization's tax-exempt purpose is exempt from federal and state income taxes. Intermed America, Inc. is a taxable entity. No provision has been made for income taxes since the amount is immaterial. ACCRUED EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The Organization has a plan for granting paid absences which combines all time normally granted for vacations and holidays. The benefits are accrued monthly and presented in the financial statements as a current liability. RESTRICTED FUND The Restricted Fund consists of specific purpose donor restricted assets. DEBT ISSUE COSTS Debt issue costs are amortized over the term of the related obligations using the straight-line method and the related amortization is included in depreciation and amortization expense. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications were made to the 1993 financial statements to conform to the 1994 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on excess of revenue over expenses. 2. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following methods are used by the Organization in estimating the market value disclosures for certain financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates market value. Short-term investments: The values for U.S. Government securities which comprise short-term investments are based on quoted market prices. F - 41 95 Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 2. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) Assets whose use is limited: The carrying amount of assets whose use is limited, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and U.S. Government securities, approximates market value. Market value for U.S. Government securities is estimated based on quoted market prices for those or similar investments. Long-term debt: The fair value of the Organization's long-term debt is based on the quoted market prices for the outstanding issues. The carrying amount and market values of the Organization's financial instruments at August 31, 1994 are as follows:
CARRYING MARKET AMOUNT VALUE ------------------------------- (In Thousands) Cash and cash equivalents $ 6,903 $ 6,903 Short-term investments 10,305 10,204 Assets whose use is limited 16,412 16,418 Long-term debt, less escrowed funds 83,904 93,289
3. ASSETS WHOSE USE IS LIMITED Assets whose use is limited consist of:
AUGUST 31 1993 1994 ---------------------------- (In Thousands) Assets held for payment of bond principal and interest (Bond Fund) $ 4,634 $ 4,742 Assets held to provide a reserve for the payment of principal and interest (Reserve Fund) 10,409 10,109 Assets held for payment of construction in progress (Acquisition Fund) 1,638 - Asset held under self-insurance trust arrangements 1,407 1,561 ---------------------------- 18,088 16,412 Less current portion (4,634) (5,070) ---------------------------- $13,454 $11,342 ============================
F - 42 96 Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 3. ASSETS WHOSE USE IS LIMITED (CONTINUED) Assets held under self-insurance trust arrangements are amounts designated by the Board of Directors to pay for medical malpractice, workers' compensation and general liability claims within the deductible provisions of the insurance coverage. Assets whose use is limited consist of United States Government securities, money market funds invested in United States Government securities, and cash and repurchase agreements. All such investments are carried at cost plus accrued interest. 4. LONG-TERM DEBT The Organization was obligated under long-term debt agreements as follows:
AUGUST 31 1993 1994 ----------------------------- (In Thousands) Industrial Development Revenue Bonds, Series 1991 $21,306 $21,124 Industrial Development Revenue Refunding Bonds: Series 1988 5,040 5,040 Series 1987 53,093 53,098 Series 1985, Serial and Term Bonds 54,522 53,251 Series 1985, Compound Interest Bonds 3,588 3,943 Other 267 98 Escrowed investments for retirement of bonds (52,365) (52,650) ----------------------------- 85,451 83,904 Less current portion (1,557) (1,645) ----------------------------- $83,894 $82,259 =============================
Industrial Development Revenue Bonds and Industrial Development Revenue Refunding Bonds described above are net of unamortized issue discounts at August 31, 1993 and 1994 of $670,000 and $621,800, respectively. All bonds were issued pursuant to a Master Trust Indenture entered into between the Obligated Group and an Arizona bank, as trustee. The Obligated Group consists of Phoenix Baptist Hospital and Medical Center, Inc., Medical Environments, Inc., Northwest Development, Inc., and F - 43 97 Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 4. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. Each member of the Obligated Group has issued indebtedness under the provisions of the Master Trust Indenture, which constitute separate issues of each issuer. The indebtedness of each issuer is collateralized by a deed of trust and mortgage and a security agreement granting security interests on certain encumbered property of Phoenix Baptist Hospital and Manatee Memorial Hospital. The Master Trust Indenture provides for the joint and several liability on the part of each Obligated Group member for the payment of any notes issued under the Master Trust Indenture (see Note 8). The Master Trust Indenture places certain restrictions on the operations of the Obligated Group, which, among other things, includes minimum debt service coverage ratios, limits on encumbrances and liens, limits on additional indebtedness, and minimum insurance coverage. In 1985, the Obligated Group refunded Series 1984 Bonds in advance of the scheduled maturity dates and was legally released from being the primary obligor on the Series 1984 Bonds. A portion of the proceeds from the Series 1985 Revenue Refunding Bonds was used to purchase government securities that were placed in a depository trust. The earnings and principal maturities of the securities in the depository trust will be sufficient to provide timely and adequate funds for the payment of all principal and interest on the refunded Series 1984 Bonds. Therefore, these assets and the Series 1984 Bonds (principal amount of $52,375,000 and $51,650,000 as of August 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively) are not included in the Organization's financial statements. A portion of the proceeds from the Series 1985 Revenue Refunding Bonds are held by the trustee in the Reserve Fund solely as security for the Series 1985 Revenue Refunding Bonds. The Series 1985 Revenue Refunding Bonds bear interest at rates ranging from 8.30% to 9.75%, payable annually with principal due September 1, 2014. The proceeds of the Series 1987 Bonds were used to pay issuance costs and the remainder was used to purchase government securities which have been deposited into an escrow account administrated by the trustee. The investment income from the government securities, along with the principal, will be used for payment of interest on the Series 1987 Bonds through September 1, 1995, at which time the remaining proceeds will be used to partially redeem the serial and term bonds of the Series 1985 Bonds and redeem the compound interest bonds of the Series 1985 Bonds. Also on September 1, 1995 the Organization will begin paying debt service on the 1987 Bonds. Deposits with the trustee for debt service payments after the crossover date of September 1, 1995 will be equal to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Series 1987 Bonds. The Series 1987 Bonds bear interest from 8.00% to 8.25%, payable semiannually and principal payable annually beginning September 1, 2002 through September 1, 2014. F - 44 98 Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 4. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) The proceeds of the Series 1988 Bonds were used to pay issuance costs and the remainder to purchase government securities to be deposited in an escrow account. The earnings and principal will be used primarily for payment of interest and principal on the serial and term bonds of the Series 1985 through September 1, 1998. The Series 1988 Bonds bear interest from 7.00% to 7.20%, payable semiannually with principal payable semiannually beginning February 15, 1999 through September 1, 2001. The proceeds of the Series 1991 Bonds were used to finance the costs of constructing and equipping a new surgery center and the first two floors of an adjacent medical office building, fund the Reserve Fund, pay interest on the Series 1991 Bonds during the estimated construction period, and pay issuance costs. The Series 1991 Bonds bear interest from 8.25% to 9.25% and mature at various dates through 2021. Future maturities of long-term debt, including sinking fund requirements, are as follows:
YEAR AMOUNT ------ ------------------ (In Thousands) 1995 $1,645 1996 1,762 1997 1,966 1998 2,105 1999 2,270
During 1993 and 1994, gross interest costs incurred approximated $12,401,000 and $12,261,000, respectively. Investment income earned on the escrowed funds established with proceeds of the qSeries 1987 Bonds is recorded as a reduction to interest expense and approximated $4,622,000 and $4,651,000 in 1993 and 1994, respectively. The Organization paid $11,221,000 and $11,799,000 during 1993 and 1994, respectively. The Organization capitalized interest of $170,000 during 1994. At August 31, 1994, the Organization has available a $1,500,000 line of credit. No amounts were outstanding under this agreement at August 31, 1994. F - 45 99 Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 5. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS The amounts due from affiliated organizations reflected in the combined balance sheets relate to transactions with BHHS and other affiliates and generally represent working capital advances. The ultimate recoverability of amounts due from affiliated organizations is dependent upon those affiliates' ability to generate cash flow from operations sufficient in amount to support continuing operations and repay working capital advances. Interest is calculated on the outstanding balance in the intercompany account at the beginning of each month based upon the prime rate of Bank One Arizona. Intercompany interest income of $455,000 and $879,169 in 1993 and 1994 and data processing fees of $1,914,000 and $1,856,000 in 1993 and 1994, are included in other revenue and operating expenses, respectively, in the accompanying combined statements of revenue and expenses. Allocated costs represent the Organization's share of the costs incurred by BHHS in providing accounting, administrative, consulting and other services to its affiliates. 6. MALPRACTICE INSURANCE Under its occurrence-basis commercial insurance coverage, the Organization is liable for specified deductible provisions up to a maximum of $100,000 per claim. The Organization funds coverage for the deductible provisions based on actuarial determinations and deposits such funds into a revocable trust account. Losses from asserted claims and from unasserted claims identified under the Organization's incident reporting system are accrued based on estimates that incorporate the Organization's past experience as well as other considerations including the nature of each claim or incident. No accrual for possible losses attributable to incidents that may have occurred but that have not been identified under the incident reporting system has been made because the amount is not reasonably estimable. In management's opinion, any such incidents would not have a material adverse effect on the operations or financial position of the Organization. 7. PENSION PLAN The Organization has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's highest compensation for any five years of employment. The Organization's funding policy is to contribute annually at least the F - 46 100 Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 7. PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED) minimum amount that should be funded in accordance with the provisions of ERISA. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. The plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Organization's combined balance sheets as of August 31 are as follows:
1993 1994 --------------------------------------- Actuarial present value of benefit obligations as of June 30: Accumulated benefit obligation, including vested benefits of $16,761,644 and $16,522,393 for 1993 and 1994, respectively $ 17,869,077 $ 17,645,529 ======================================= Projected benefit obligation for service rendered to date $(21,455,741) $(20,131,971) Plan assets at fair value, primarily listed stock and U.S. Obligations 14,586,842 15,696,103 --------------------------------------- Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets (6,868,899) (4,435,868) Unrecognized net loss from past experience different from that assumed and effects of changes in assumptions 4,320,460 1,388,615 Unrecognized net transition obligation 488,108 433,874 --------------------------------------- (2,060,331) (2,613,379) Pension plan funding for July and August 88,000 111,303 --------------------------------------- Accrued Pension Costs Included in Accrued Employee Compensation and Related Liabilities $ (1,972,331) $ (2,502,076) ======================================= Net pension cost included the following components: Service cost--benefits earned during the period $ 1,202,681 $ 1,334,715 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 1,494,834 1,743,139 Actual return on plan assets (1,174,581) (142,628) Net amortization and deferral 284,237 (842,035) --------------------------------------- Net Periodic Pension Cost $ 1,807,171 $ 2,093,191 =======================================

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Organization is a member of an Obligated Group which, at August 31, 1994, consists of Medical Environments, Inc., Phoenix Baptist Hospitals and Medical Center, Inc. (Phoenix Baptist), Northwest Development, Inc., and Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. This group is obligated for the payment of principal and interest on bonds issued under a Master Trust Indenture (see Note 4). As of August 31, 1994, the Organization is contingently liable for debt service payments on outstanding bonds totaling $90,883,000 which are payable by other members of the Obligated Group. In the opinion of management of the Organization, no contingent payments will be made by the Organization on outstanding bonds of the other members of the Obligated Group. The future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases with terms greater than one year are as follows:
OPERATING YEAR AMOUNT ------ ------------------ (In Thousands) 1995 $1,243 1996 688 1997 352 1998 132 1999 12 ------------------ $2,427 ==================
Rental expense on operating leases was approximately $1,677,000 and $1,807,000 for 1993 and 1994, respectively. F - 48 102 Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT Subsequent to year end, Manatee Hospitals and Health Systems, Inc. entered into negotiations for a letter of intent to sell all assets of the Organization. The anticipated sale will be contingent upon the completion of due diligence by the buyer and applicable regulatory approvals. It is anticipated that the Organization will recognize a gain on this sale. 10. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The unaudited interim combined financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which the Organization considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Organization as of March 31, 1995 and the results of operations for the seven-month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1995, as presented in the accompanying unaudited interim combined financial statements. As described in Note 9, the Organization is negotiating to sell all its assets to Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS). In connection with the proposed sale, the Organization is being jointly managed by BHHS and UHS. The Organization paid UHS management fees of $500,000 which are included in supplies and other expenses in the statement of revenue and expenses for the seven-month period ended March 31, 1995. As described in Note 4, the proceeds of the Series 1987 Bonds were used to pay issuance costs and the remainder was used to purchase government securities which have been deposited into an escrow account. The government securities matured in February 1995. Under the terms of the escrow agreement, the Organization cannot reinvest the proceeds of the investments that matured in February 1995. Consequently, the Organization will not recognize any investment earnings on these funds between February 1995 and September 1, 1995. During November 1994, the Organization transferred $200,000 from its restricted fund to the Manatee Memorial Hospital Foundation, Inc. (an affiliated organization).

ITEM 17. 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 of 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 arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth 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 a 20% 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 of any material change to such information in the registration statement; Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the 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. (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. II-2 106 (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's 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 plan's 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                DEBT SECURITIES


                   STANDARD UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT PROVISIONS

                 1.  Introductory.  Universal Health Services, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), proposes to issue and sell from time to time
certain of its debt securities registered under the registration statement
referred to in Section 2(a) ("Registered Securities").  The Registered
Securities will be issued under an indenture, dated as of           , 1995
(such indenture as amended or supplemented is herein referred to as the
"Indenture"), between the Company and PNC Bank, N.A., Trustee, in one or more
series, which series may vary as to interest rates, maturities, redemption
provisions, selling prices and other terms, with all such terms for any
particular series of the Registered Securities being determined at the time of
sale.  Particular series of the Registered Securities will be sold pursuant to
a Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3, for resale in accordance with terms
of offering determined at the time of sale.

                 The Registered Securities involved in any such offering are
hereinafter referred to as the "Securities."  The firm or firms which agree to
purchase the Securities are hereinafter referred to as the "Underwriters" of
such Securities, and the representative or representatives of the Underwriters,
if any, specified in a Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3 are hereinafter
referred to as the "Representatives"; provided, however, that if the Terms
Agreement does not specify any representative of the Underwriters, the term
"Representatives," as used in this Agreement (other than in the second sentence
of Section 3), shall mean the Underwriters.

                 2.  Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The
Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that:

                 (a)      the Company is permitted to use Form S-3 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and has filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement
on such Form (the file number of which is set forth in the Terms Agreement),
which has become effective, for the registration under the Act of the
Registered Securities.  Such registration statement, as amended at the date of
this Agreement, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the
Act and complies in all other material respects with said Rule.  Such
registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended at the date
of any Terms Agreement, is hereinafter called the "Registration Statement" and
the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as supplemented to
reflect the terms of the Securities and the plan of distribution thereof, in
the form in which it shall be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
is hereinafter called the "Prospectus."  Any reference herein to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include the
documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3
which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), on or before the date of this Agreement or the date of the
Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference herein to the terms "amend,"
"amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the

the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference;

Prospectus is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, when, prior to
the time of purchase (as defined in Section 3), any amendment to the
Registration Statement becomes effective (including the filing of any document
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement) and at the time of
purchase, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus will fully comply in
all material respects with the provisions of the Act and the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), and the Registration
Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and the Prospectus will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of

any statement contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in
reliance upon and in conformity with information concerning the Underwriters
and furnished in writing by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the

or the Prospectus; the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus,
at the time they were filed with the Commission, complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and do not contain an

written communications (the "Terms





   9

                                      -9-




Agreement") at the time the Company determines to sell the Securities.  The

                 (xv)  the documents incorporated by reference in the

         with the Exchange Act (except as to the financial statements and
         schedules and other financial and statistical data contained or
         incorporated by reference therein as to which such counsel need not
         express an opinion);

                 (xvi)  the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust

         Statement and Prospectus were discussed and, although such counsel is
         not passing upon and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy,
         completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the
         Registration Statement or Prospectus (except as and to the extent
         stated in subparagraphs (vi) and (vii) above), on the basis of the
         foregoing (relying as to materiality to a large extent upon the
         opinions of officers and other representatives of the Company) nothing
         has come to the attention of such counsel that causes them to believe
         that the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto at the date
         of the applicable Terms Agreement contained an untrue statement of a
         material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
         stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
         misleading, or that the Prospectus or any supplement thereto at the
         date of the applicable Terms Agreement, and at all times up to and
         including the time of purchase, contained an





   17

                                      -17-




         untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
         fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
         therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
         misleading (it being understood that such counsel need not express an
         opinion with respect to the financial statements and schedules and
         other financial and statistical data included in the Registration
         Statement or Prospectus or with respect to the Trustee's Statement of
         Eligibility on Form T-1).

                 (b)  The Company shall furnish to the Representatives at
the time of purchase an opinion of Bruce R. Gilbert, Esq., General Counsel for
the Company, addressed to the Underwriters and dated the time of purchase with
reproduced copies thereof for each of the other Underwriters and in form
satisfactory to Cahill Gordon & Reindel, counsel for the Underwriters, stating
that:

                 (i)  each of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries are duly
qualified or licensed by each jurisdiction in which they conduct their
respective businesses and in which the failure, individually or in the
aggregate, to be so licensed or qualified could have a material adverse effect
on the operations, business or condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole, and the Company and its Subsidiaries are duly qualified, and
are in good standing, in each jurisdiction in which they own or lease real
property or maintain an office and in which such qualification is necessary;

                (ii)  each of the Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized
and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, with full corporate or partnership power and authority to own its
respective properties and to conduct its business as described in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any amendment or supplement
thereto); and

               (iii)  to the best of such counsel's knowledge, none of the
Subsidiaries is in violation of its certificate or articles of incorporation or
bylaws, or partnership agreement, or is in breach of, or in default under (nor
has any event occurred which with notice, lapse of time, or both would
constitute a breach of, or default under), any license, indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, bank loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or
instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by
which any of them or their





   18

                                      -18-




respective properties may be bound or affected or under any law, regulation or
rule or any decree, judgment or order applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

                 (c)      The Representatives shall have received from Arthur
Andersen L.L.P. and Ernst & Young, letters dated as of the time of purchase and
addressed to the Underwriters (with reproduced copies for each of the other
Underwriters) in the forms approved by the Representatives prior to the
execution of the applicable Terms Agreement.

                 (d)      The Representatives shall have received at the time
of purchase the favorable opinion of Cahill Gordon & Reindel, counsel for the
Underwriters, dated the time of purchase as to the matters referred to in
subparagraphs (iii), (iv), (v), (vii), (viii) (ix), (xvi) of paragraph (a) of
this Section 6.

                 In addition, such counsel shall state that such counsel have
participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the
Company, counsel for the Company, representatives of the independent public
accountants of the Company and representatives of the Underwriters at which the
contents of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and related matters were
discussed and, although such counsel is not passing upon and does not assume
any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements
contained in the Registration Statement and Prospectus (except as to the
matters referred to under subparagraph (vii) of paragraph (a) of this Section
6), on the basis of the foregoing (relying as to materiality to a large extent
upon the opinions of officers and other representatives of the Company), no
facts have come to the attention of such counsel which lead them to believe
that either the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto at the date of
the applicable Terms Agreement contained an untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus or any
supplement thereto as of the date of the applicable Terms Agreement contained
an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being
understood that such counsel need not express any comment with respect to the
financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data
included in the





   19

                                      -19-




Registration Statement or Prospectus or with respect to the Trustee's Statement
of Eligibility on Form T-1).

                 (e)      No amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement or Prospectus, including documents deemed to be incorporated by
reference therein, shall be filed or distributed to which the Representatives
object in writing.

                 (f)      Prior to the time of purchase (i) no stop order with
respect to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been
issued under the Act or proceedings initiated under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the
Act; (ii) the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto, or
modifications thereof, if any, shall not contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and (iii) the
Prospectus and all amendments or supplements thereto, or modifications thereof,
if any, shall not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are
made, not misleading.

                 (g)      Between the time of execution of the applicable Terms
Agreement and the time of purchase, in the judgment of the Representatives, (i)
no material and unfavorable change, financial or otherwise (other than as
referred to in the Registration Statement and Prospectus on the date of the
Terms Agreement), in the properties, assets, prospects, operation, business or
condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole shall occur or
become known and (ii) no transaction which is material and unfavorable to the
Company shall have been entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

                 (h)      The Company will, at the time of purchase, deliver to
the Representatives a certificate of two of its executive officers to the
effect that the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this
Agreement and the conditions set forth in paragraph (f) and paragraph (g) have
been met and are true and correct as of such date.

                 (i)      The Company shall have furnished to the
Representatives such other documents and certificates as to the accuracy and
completeness of any statement in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
as of the time of purchase as the Representatives may reasonably request.





   20

                                      -20-




                 (j)      The Company shall perform such of its obligations
under the applicable Terms Agreement as are to be performed by the terms
thereof at or before the time of purchase.

                 (k)      Between the time of execution of the applicable Terms
Agreement and the time of purchase, there shall not have occurred any
downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of (i) any intended or
potential downgrading or (ii) any review or possible change that does not
indicate an improvement, in the rating accorded any securities of or guaranteed
by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company by any "nationally recognized
statistical rating organization", as that term is defined in Rule 436(g)(2)
promulgated under the Act.

                 7.  Effective Date of Terms Agreement; Termination:  Any Terms
Agreement shall become effective when the parties thereto have executed and
delivered it.

                 The obligations of the several Underwriters under any Terms
Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the
Representatives or any group of Underwriters (which may include the
Representatives) which has agreed to purchase in the aggregate at least 50% of
the principal amount of the Securities if, at any time prior to the time of
purchase, trading in securities on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been
suspended or minimum prices shall have been established on the New York Stock
Exchange, or if a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by the
United States or New York State authorities, or if the United States shall have
declared war in accordance with its constitutional processes or there shall
have occurred any material outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other
national or international calamity or crisis of such magnitude in its effect on
the financial markets of the United States as, in the judgment of the
Representatives or in the judgment of such group of Underwriters, to make it
impracticable to market the Securities covered by the applicable Terms
Agreement.

                 If the Representatives or any group of Underwriters elect to
terminate any Terms Agreement as provided in this Section 7, the Company and
each other Underwriter shall be notified promptly by letter or telegram.

                 If the sale to the Underwriters of the Securities, as
contemplated by the applicable Terms Agreement, is not carried out by the
Underwriters for any reason permitted under such Terms Agreement or if such
sale is not carried out because the





   21

                                      -21-




Company shall be unable to comply with any of the terms of such Terms
Agreement, the Company shall not be under any obligation or liability under
such Terms Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 4(k), 5 and 9
hereof), and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the
Company under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 9
hereof) or to one another hereunder.

                 8.  Increase in Underwriters' Commitments:  If any Underwriter
shall default in its obligation to take up and pay for the Securities to be
purchased by it under any applicable Terms Agreement and if the aggregate
principal amount of Securities which all Underwriters so defaulting shall have
agreed but failed to take up and pay for does not exceed 10% of the total
aggregate principal amount of Securities, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall
take up and pay for (in addition to the aggregate principal amount of
Securities they are obligated to purchase pursuant to the applicable Terms
Agreement) the aggregate principal amount of Securities agreed to be purchased
by all such defaulting Underwriters, as hereinafter provided.  Such Securities
shall be taken up and paid for by such non-defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters in such amount or amounts as the Representatives may designate
with the consent of each Underwriter so designated or, in the event no such
designation is made, such Securities shall be taken up and paid for by all
non-defaulting Underwriters pro rata in proportion to the aggregate principal
amount of Securities set opposite the names of such non-defaulting Underwriters
in the applicable Terms Agreement.

                 Without relieving any defaulting Underwriter from its
obligations hereunder, the Company agrees with the non-defaulting Underwriters
that it will not sell any Securities under the applicable Terms Agreement
unless all of the Securities are purchased by the Underwriters (or by
substituted Underwriters selected by the Representatives with the approval of
the Company or selected by the Company with the approval of the
Representatives).

                 If a new Underwriter or Underwriters are substituted by the
Underwriters or by the Company for a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters in
accordance with the foregoing provision, the Company or the Representatives
shall have the right to postpone the time of purchase for a period not
exceeding three business days in order that any necessary changes in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus and other documents may be effected.

                                      -22-




                 The term Underwriter as used in this agreement shall refer to
and include any Underwriter substituted under this Section 8 with like effect
as if such substituted Underwriter had originally been named in the applicable
Terms Agreement.

                 9.  Indemnity by the Company and the Underwriters.

                 (a)      The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless each Underwriter, any person who controls any Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each
Underwriter's agents, employees, officers and directors and the agents,
employees, officers and directors of any such controlling person (collectively,
the "Underwriter indemnified parties") from and against any loss, expense,
liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which,
jointly or severally, any such Underwriter indemnified party may incur under
the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense,
liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective
amendment thereof by the Company) or in a Prospectus (the term Prospectus for
the purpose of this Section 9 being deemed to include any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Prospectus and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented by the
Company), or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact required to be stated in either such Registration
Statement or Prospectus or necessary to make the statements made therein not
misleading, except insofar as any such loss, expense, liability or claim arises
out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in and in conformity with information furnished in
writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives to the Company expressly
for use with reference to such Underwriter in such Registration Statement or
such Prospectus or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact in connection with such information required
to be stated in either such Registration Statement or Prospectus or necessary
to make such information not misleading; provided, that, with respect to any
Preliminary Prospectus, the indemnification contained in this paragraph (a)
shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or to the benefit of any
person controlling such Underwriter) on account of any such loss, expense,
liability or claim arising from the sale of Registered Securities by such
Underwriter to any person if a copy of the Prospectus shall not have been
delivered to or sent to such person within





   23

                                      -23-




the time required by the Act and the regulations thereunder, and the untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a
material fact contained in such Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the
Prospectus, provided that the Company shall have delivered the Prospectus to
the Underwriters in requisite quantities on a timely basis to permit such
delivery or sending.

                 If any action is brought against an Underwriter indemnified
party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant
to the foregoing paragraph, such Underwriter indemnified party shall promptly
notify the Company in writing of the institution of such action and the Company
shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel
and payment of expenses.  Such Underwriter indemnified party shall have the
right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter indemnified party
unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by
the Company in connection with the defense of such action or the Company shall
not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action or such
Underwriter indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or
additional to those available to the Company (in which case the Company shall
not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the
Underwriter indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and
expenses shall be borne by the Company and paid as incurred (it being
understood, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the expenses of
more than one separate counsel in any one action or series of related actions
in the same jurisdiction representing the Underwriter indemnified parties who
are parties to such action).  Anything in this paragraph to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such
claim or action effected without its written consent.

                 (b)      Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and any person
who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act from and against any loss, expense, liability or claim
(including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally,
the Company or any such person may incur under the Act or otherwise, insofar as
such loss, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any
untrue statement or alleged





   24

                                      -24-




untrue statement of a material fact contained in and in conformity with
information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through
the Representatives to the Company expressly for use with reference to such
Underwriter in the Registration Statement or in a Prospectus, or arises out of
or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in
connection with such information required to be stated either in such
Registration Statement or Prospectus or necessary to make such information not
misleading.

                 If any action is brought against the Company or any such
person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter
pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Company or such person shall promptly
notify such Underwriter in writing of the institution of such action and such
Underwriter shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment
of counsel and payment of expenses.  The Company or such person shall have the
right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company or such person unless the
employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by such
Underwriter in connection with the defense of such action or such Underwriter
shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action or
such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there
may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional
to those available to such Underwriter (in which case such Underwriter shall
not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the
indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses
shall be borne by such Underwriter and paid as incurred (it being understood,
however, that such Underwriter shall not be liable for the expenses of more
than one separate counsel in any one action or series of related actions in the
same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such
action).  Anything in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, no
Underwriter shall be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action
effected without the written consent of such Underwriter.

                 (c)      If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9
is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this
Section 9 in respect of any losses, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to
therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses,





   25

                                      -25-




expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if
the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on
the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, expenses, liabilities or
claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the
other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from
the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before
deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the underwriting discounts
and commissions received by the Underwriters.  The relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission
relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to
above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably
incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any claim
or action.

                 (d)      The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (c)
above.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public
were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.  The





   26

                                      -26-




Underwriters' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several
in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.

                 (e)      The indemnity and contribution agreements contained
in this Section 9 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the
Company contained in the applicable Terms Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Underwriter indemnified party, or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors
and officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any
termination of the applicable Terms Agreement or the issuance and delivery of
the Securities covered thereby.  The Company and each Underwriter indemnified
party agree promptly to notify the others of the commencement of any litigation
or proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company, against any of the
Company's officers and directors, in connection with the issuance and sale of
the Securities, or in connection with the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

                 10.  Notices:  Except as otherwise herein provided, all
statements, requests, notices and agreements shall be in writing or by telegram
and, if to the Underwriters, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered
or sent to the address set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement and, if to
the Company, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered to the Company at
the offices of the Company at Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road,
King of Prussia, PA 19406, Attention:

                 11.  Construction:  The Terms Agreement shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without
regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  The section headings in this
agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are
not a part of this agreement.

                 12.  Parties at Interest:  The agreement set forth in the
Terms Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of the Underwriters
and the Company and the controlling persons, directors and officers referred to
in Section 9 hereof, and their respective successors, assigns, executors and
administrators.  No other person, partnership, association or corporation
(including a purchaser, as such purchaser, from any of





   27

                                      -27-




the Underwriters) shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of any
Terms Agreement.

The terms to be specified in respect of each Series in the Authorizing Resolution and/or supplemental indenture (if any), or by such person and/or procedures as shall be provided therein, shall include the following: (1) the title of the Securities of such Series, which shall distinguish such Series from all other Series; (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture (except for Securities of such Series authenticated and delivered upon transfer of, or in 17 -11- exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.11, 2.12, 3A.08 or 9.05); (3) the date or dates on which the principal (and premium, if any) of the Securities of such Series is payable, and, if the Series shall be Extendible Securities, the terms on which the Company or any other person shall have the option to extend the Maturity of such Securities and the rights, if any, of the Holders to require payment of the Securities; (4) the rate or rates at which the Securities of such Series shall bear interest, if any (whether floating or fixed), the provisions, if any, for determining such interest rate or rates and adjustments thereto, the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue, the Interest Payment Dates therefor and the Regular Record Dates for the determination of Holders of the Securities of such Series to whom interest is payable; (5) the place or places where the principal of and interest on Securities of such Series shall be payable (if other than as provided in Section 4.02); (6) the price or prices at which, the period or periods within which and the terms and conditions upon which the Securities of such Series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, pursuant to a Sinking Fund or otherwise; (7) the obligation, if any, of the Company to redeem, purchase or repay Securities of such Series, in whole or in part, pursuant to a Sinking Fund or otherwise or at the option of a Holder thereof, and the price or prices at which, the period or periods within which and the terms and conditions upon which such redemption, purchase or repayment shall be made; (8) any Events of Default with respect to the Securities of such Series which may be different from, in lieu of or in addition to those provided for herein, and any covenants or obligations of the Company to the Holders of the Securities of such Series different from, in lieu of or in addition to those set forth herein; (9) if less than 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of such Series is payable on acceleration under 18 -12- Section 6.02 or provable in bankruptcy under Section 6.09 at any time, a schedule of or the manner of computing the amounts which are so payable and provable from time to time; (10) the form of the Securities of such Series (which may be, but which need not be, consistent with the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto); (11) if other than United States dollars, the currency(ies) in which payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Securities of that Series shall be payable; (12) if the principal of or interest, if any, on the Securities of that Series is to be payable, at the election of the Company or a Holder thereof, in a currency or currencies other than that in which the Securities are stated to be payable, the period or periods within which, and the terms and conditions upon which, such election may be made; (13) if the amount of payments of principal of or interest, if any, on the Securities of the Series may be determined with reference to an index based on a currency or currencies other than that in which the Securities are stated to be payable, the manner in which such amounts shall be determined; and (14) any other terms of the Securities of such Series; provided, that such other terms shall not be inconsistent with any express terms of this Indenture or in conflict with any express terms of any other Series of Securities which shall be issued and outstanding. All Securities of any one Series shall be substantially identical in form except as to denomination and except as may be otherwise provided in and pursuant to the Authorizing Resolutions and/or supplemental indenture (if any) relating thereto. SECTION 2.03 Execution and Authentication. Two Officers or an Officer and the Secretary of the Company shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. The Company's seal shall be reproduced on the Securities and may be in facsimile form. 19 -13- If an Officer or a Secretary whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless. A Security shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any Series executed by the Company to the Trustee, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. The Company Order may provide that the Securities which are the subject thereof shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon the telephonic, written or other order of persons designated in the Company Order, and that such persons are authorized to specify the terms and conditions of such Securities, to the extent permitted by the Authorizing Resolution and/or supplemental indenture (if any) relating thereto. The Trustee shall execute and deliver the supplemental indenture (if any) relating to said Securities and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver said Securities as specified in such Company Order; provided that, prior to authentication and delivery of the first Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received: (1) a copy of the Authorizing Resolution, with a copy of the form of Security approved thereby attached thereto, or a supplemental indenture in respect of the issuance of the Series, executed on behalf of the Company; (2) an Officers' Certificate to the effect that the Securities of such Series comply or will comply with the requirements of this Indenture and the said Authorizing Resolution and/or supplemental indenture (if any); (3) an Opinion of Counsel (a) to the effect that (i) the Securities of such Series, the Authorizing Resolution and/or the supplemental indenture (if any) relating thereto comply or will comply with the requirements of this Indenture, and (ii) the Securities of such Series, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the said Company Order, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to (A) bankruptcy and 20 -14- other laws affecting creditors' rights generally as in effect from time to time, (B) limitations of generally applicable equitable principles and (C) other exceptions acceptable to the Trustee and its counsel; and (b) relating to such other matters as may reasonably be requested by the Trustee or its counsel; and (4) if the Securities to be issued are Original Issue Discount Securities, an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Yield to Maturity for the Securities or other information sufficient to compute amounts due on acceleration, or specifying the manner in which such amounts are to be determined, provided that such Yield to Maturity and other facts are not specified in the form of Securities. Subject to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon the document delivered to it as provided above in connection with the issuance of any Series of Securities. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section 2.03 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by a committee of its Trust Officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to liability to Holders of previously issued and outstanding Securities. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication unless otherwise specified in the Authorizing Resolution and/or supplemental indenture relating thereto. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. The Securities of each Series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, or in such other currencies or denominations as may be specified in, or pursuant to, the Authorizing Resolution and/or supplemental indenture (if any) relating to the Series. 21 -15- SECTION 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall cause to be kept a register (the "Security Register") at an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The Company may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Security Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof. If the Registrar shall not be the Trustee in respect of any Series, the Company shall promptly notify the Registrar as to the amounts and terms of each Security of such Series which shall be authenticated and delivered hereunder, and as to the names in which such Securities shall be registered. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent. SECTION 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities), and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any 22 -16- funds disbursed. Upon doing so the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money. SECTION 2.06 Securityholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonable practicable the most recent list furnished to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee ten days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of Securities of any Series and the Company shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the TIA. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the Registrar, the Company or such other Paying Agent, as the case may be, as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of any Series and the principal amounts and serial numbers of such Securities. SECTION 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series and Stated Maturity of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfer and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar's request. No service charge shall be made to any Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.08, 2.11, 2.12, 3A.08 or 9.05 in which case such transfer taxes or similar governmental charges shall be paid by the Company). The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any Series during a period beginning at the opening of the day which is 15 Business Days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such Series selected for redemption 23 -17- under Section 3A.04 or 3B.01 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed. SECTION 2.08 Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of like tenor, Series and principal amount, bearing a number not assigned to any Security of the same Series then outstanding, if the Trustee's requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its expenses in replacing a Security. Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company. SECTION 2.09 Outstanding Securities. Securities, or Securities of any particular Series, outstanding at any time are all such Securities that have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Security. If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. If the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary) holds on the Maturity Date or Redemption Date money sufficient to pay Securities payable on such date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceased to accrue; provided that, if such Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefore satisfactory to the Trustee has been made. 24 -18- SECTION 2.10. Treasury Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of any Series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent (a) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security of such Series that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount that would be due and payable as of the date of determination upon a declaration of acceleration thereof pursuant to Section 6.02 and (b) Securities of such Series owned by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities of such Series which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Upon the request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate identifying all Securities of such Series, if any, known by the Company to be owned by it or any of its Affiliates. SECTION 2.11. Global Securities. If the Authorizing Resolution so provides, the Company may issue some or all of the Securities of a Series in temporary or permanent global form. A global Security may be issued only in fully registered form. A global Security shall represent that amount of Securities of a Series as specified in the global Security or as endorsed thereon from time to time. At the Company's request, the Registrar shall endorse a global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the Securities represented thereby. The Company may issue a global Security only to a depository designated by the Company. A depository may transfer a global Security only as a whole to its nominee or to a successor depository. The Authorizing Resolution may establish, among other things, the manner of paying principal and interest on a global Security and whether and upon what terms a beneficial owner of an interest in a global Security may exchange such interest for definitive Securities. The Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions of a depository, for any depository records of beneficial ownership interests or for any transactions between the depository and beneficial owners. 25 -19- SECTION 2.12. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities of any Series are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute and, upon compliance with the requirements of Section 2.03, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities of such Series. Temporary Securities of any Series shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities of such Series but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities for such Series in exchange for temporary Securities of such Series in an exchange pursuant to Section 2.07. SECTION 2.13. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation or for credit against any Sinking Fund Payment in respect of such Series pursuant to Section 3B.02. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. SECTION 2.14. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities of any Series, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Holders of such Securities on a subsequent special record date ("Special Record Date") and such term, as used in this Section 2.14 with respect to the payment of any defaulted interest, shall mean the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before the Special Record Date, the Company shall mail to each holder of such Securities a notice that states the Special Record Date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. SECTION 2.15. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Trustee and any Agent may treat the person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal 26 -20- of and (subject to Section 2.14) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security shall have matured, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. ARTICLE 3A REDEMPTION SECTION 3A.01. Right of Redemption. Redeemable Securities may be redeemed otherwise than through the operation of the Sinking Fund provided for in Article 3B at the election of the Company at the times, on the conditions and at the Redemption Prices specified therein, in (or pursuant to) the Authorizing Resolution relating thereto or in the supplemental indenture (if any) executed in connection with the issuance of such Securities to the extent provided therein. SECTION 3A.02. Applicability of Article. Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision referred to in Section 3A.01, shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Article. SECTION 3A.03. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities of any Series shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or set forth in an Officers' Certificate which states that such election has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of such Series the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of the Series or the several Series, as the case may be, to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 27 -21- SECTION 3A.04. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of any Series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities of such Series to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 90 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the outstanding Securities of such Series not previously called for redemption, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Securities are listed or, if the Securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis or by lot. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination of the Series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of a denomination larger than such minimum denomination. If the Company shall so specify, Securities held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall not be included in the Securities selected for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. SECTION 3A.05. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at the Holder's address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall state: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the Redemption Price; 28 -22- (3) if less than all outstanding Securities of the Series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the particular Securities to be redeemed; (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date; (5) that the redemption is for a Sinking Fund, if such is the case; and (6) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price. Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company. SECTION 3A.06. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.05) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, including (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) any accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. SECTION 3A.07. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price thereof and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant Regular or Special Record Date according to their terms and the provision of such Security and Section 2.14. 29 -23- If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at a rate equal to the Yield to Maturity thereof. SECTION 3A.08. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.02 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same Series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. ARTICLE 3B SINKING FUND SECTION 3B.01. Sinking Fund Payments. As and for a Sinking Fund for the retirement of Sinking Fund Securities, the Company will, until all such Securities are paid or payment thereof is duly provided for, deposit in accordance with Section 3A.06, at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be specified in the provisions of such Securities and the Authorizing Resolution and/or supplemental indenture (if any) relating thereto, such amounts in cash as shall be required or permitted under such provisions in order to redeem Securities on the specified Redemption Dates at a Redemption Price equal to their principal amounts, less in each such case the amount of any credit against such payment received by the Company under Section 3B.02. Each such Sinking Fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities on the specified Redemption Date as herein provided. 30 -24- SECTION 3B.02 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Company (1) may deliver Securities of the same Series (other than any Securities of such Series previously called for redemption pursuant to the Sinking Fund or theretofore applied as a credit against a Sinking Fund payment) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of the same Series redeemed at the election of the Company pursuant to Section 3A.01 or through the operation of the Sinking Fund in ay period in excess of the minimum amount required for such period under Section 3B.01 and not theretofore applied as a credit against a Sinking Fund payment, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any Sinking Fund payment required to be made pursuant to Section 3B.01. Each such Security so delivered or applied shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at a Redemption Price equal to its principal amount or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, its then accreted value, and the required amount of such Sinking Fund payment in respect of such Series shall be reduced accordingly. SECTION 3B.03. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. If in any year the Company shall elect to redeem in excess of the minimum principal amount of Securities of any Series required to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3B.01 or to satisfy all or any part of any Sinking Fund payment by delivering or crediting Securities of the same Series pursuant to Section 3B.02, then at least 45 days prior to the date on which the Sinking Fund payment in question shall be due (or such shorter period as shall be approved by the Trustee), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the Sinking Fund payment and the portions thereof which are to be satisfied by payment of cash, by delivery of Securities of such Series or by crediting Securities of such Series, and, at least 45 days prior to the Sinking Fund payment date (or such shorter period as shall be approved by the Trustee), will also deliver to the Trustee the Securities of such Series to be so delivered. Such Officers' Certificate shall also state that the Securities forming the basis of any such credit do not include any Securities which have been redeemed through the operation of the Sinking Fund in the minimum amount required under Section 3B.01 or previously credited against any Sinking Fund payment. The Trustee shall, upon receipt of such Officers' Certificate (or, if it shall not have received such an Officers' Certificate at least 45 days prior 31 -25- to the Sinking Fund payment date, then following such 45th day), select the Securities of such Series to be redeemed upon the next Sinking Fund payment date, in the manner specified in Section 3A.04, and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3A.05. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3A.06, 3A.07 and 3A.08. ARTICLE 4 COVENANTS SECTION 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of each Series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and in this Indenture. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary) holds on that date money designated for and sufficient to pay the installment. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the respective rates borne by such Securities or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at rates equal to the respective Yields to Maturity thereof; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the respective rates borne by such Securities. SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. Except as otherwise provided in the Authorizing Resolutions and/or supplemental indenture (if any) relating to any Series, the Company will maintain in the City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect to the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, 32 -26- surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office. The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of any Series or a particular Series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the City of New York, for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee in the City of New York, as an agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.04. SECTION 4.03. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 5 and Section 4.07, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each Subsidiary of the Company in accordance with the respective organizational documents of each such Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory) and material franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise, or the corporate existence of any Subsidiary, if the Board of Directors or management of the Company or such Subsidiary shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. SECTION 4.04 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a material Lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or 33 -27- claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the appropriate provision has been made. SECTION 4.05. Notice of Defaults. In the event that any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is declared due and payable before its maturity because of the occurrence of any default (or any event which, with notice or the lapse of time, or both, shall constitute such default) under such Indebtedness, the Company will promptly give written notice to the Trustee of such declaration. SECTION 4.06. Maintenance of Properties. Subject to Section 4.07, the Company will cause all material properties owned by or leased to it or any Subsidiary of the Company and used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any such Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in normal condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may seem necessary, so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company or any such Subsidiary from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties, or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, board of trustees or managing partners of the Subsidiary concerned, or of an officer (or other agent employed by the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries) of the Company or such Subsidiary having managerial responsibility for any such property, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company or any Subsidiary. SECTION 4.07 Liquidation. The Board of Directors or the stockholders of the Company may not adopt a plan of liquidation which provides for, contemplates or the effectuation of which is preceded by (i) the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company otherwise than substantially as an entirety (Article 5 of this Indenture being the Article which governs any such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition substantially as an entirety) and (ii) the 34 -28- distribution of all or substantially all of the proceeds of such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition and of the remaining assets of the Company to the holders of Capital Stock of the Company, unless the Company shall in connection with the adoption of such plan make provisions for, or agree that prior to making any liquidating distributions it will make provisions for, the satisfaction of the Company's obligations hereunder and under the Securities of each Series as to the payment of principal and interest. The Company shall be deemed to make provision for such payments only if (a) the Company delivers in trust to the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary) (i) in the case of any Securities of any Series denominated in United States dollars, an amount of cash sufficient to pay principal of and interest on such outstanding securities at their respective Stated Maturities or U.S. Government Obligations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Securities and having maturities and interest payment dates that shall coincide, as nearly as may be practicable, with the dates that the principal of and interest on such Securities are due and (ii) in the case of any Securities of any Series denominated in any currency other than United States dollars, an amount of the Required Currency sufficient to pay principal of and interest on such outstanding Securities at their respective Stated Maturities or (b) there is an express assumption of the due and punctual payment of the Company's obligations hereunder and under the Securities of each Series and the performance and observance of all covenants and conditions to be performed by the Company hereunder, by the execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the Trustee by a person which acquires or will acquire (otherwise than pursuant to a lease) a portion of the assets of the Company, and which is organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia; provided, however, that the Company shall not make any liquidating distribution until after the Company shall have certified to the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel at least five days prior to the making of any liquidating distribution that it has complied with the provisions of this Section 4.07.

The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a). (b) So long as the Securities of any Series remain outstanding, the Company shall cause its annual report to stockholders and any quarterly or other financial reports furnished by it to stockholders to be mailed to the Holders of Securities outstanding at their addresses appearing in the Security Register.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law, which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of and/or interest on the Securities of any Series as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will 36 -30- suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. SECTION 4.11. Restrictions on Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, incur, create, assume or otherwise become liable in respect of any Indebtedness secured by a Lien, or guarantee any Indebtedness with a guarantee which is secured by a Lien, on any Principal Property of the Company or any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any Consolidated Subsidiary, without effectively providing that the Securities of each Series (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of the Company then existing or thereafter created ranking equally with the Securities of each Series) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the option of the Company, prior to) such secured Indebtedness, so long as such secured Indebtedness shall be so secured; provided, however, that this Section 4.11 shall not apply to Indebtedness secured by: (1) Liens existing on the date of this Indenture; (2) Liens in favor of governmental bodies to secure progress, advance or other payments; (3) Liens existing on property, Capital Stock or Indebtedness at the time of acquisition thereof (including acquisition through lease, merger or consolidation) or Liens to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price thereof or the purchase price of construction, installation, renovation, improvement or development thereon or thereof or to secure any Indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 360 days after the later of the acquisition, completion of such construction, installation, renovation, improvement or development or the commencement of full operation of such property or within 360 days after the acquisition of such Capital Stock or Indebtedness for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof; (4) Liens securing Indebtedness in an aggregate amount which, at the time of incurrence and together with all outstanding Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions permitted by clause (y) of the second paragraph of Section 4.12, does not exceed five 37 -31- percent of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company; and (5) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), as a whole or in part, of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) to (4) inclusive; provided, that such extension, renewal or replacement of such Lien is limited to all or any part of the same property, Capital Stock or Indebtedness that secured the Lien extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property), and that such secured Indebtedness at such time is not increased. If at any time the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall incur, create, assume or otherwise become liable in respect of any Indebtedness secured by a Lien, or guarantee any Indebtedness with a guarantee which is secured by a Lien, on any Principal Property of the Company or any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any Consolidated Subsidiary other than as permitted under clauses (1) through (5) of this Section 4.11, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officers' Certificate stating that the covenant of the Company to secure the Securities equally and ratably with such secured Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 4.11 has been complied with, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel that such covenant has been complied with and that any instruments executed by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in performance of such covenant comply with the requirements of such covenant and (iii) copies of all such instruments. SECTION 4.12. Restrictions on Sales and Leasebacks. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, sell or transfer any Principal Property of the Company, with the Company or any such Subsidiary taking back a lease of such Principal Property of the Company (a "Sale and Leaseback Transaction"), unless (i) such Principal Property of the Company is sold within 360 days from the date of acquisition of such Principal Property of the Company or the date of the completion of construction or commencement of full operations on such Principal Property of the Company, whichever is later, or (ii) the Company or any such Subsidiary, within 120 days after such sale, applies or causes to be applied to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary (other than Funded Debt of the Company which by its terms or the terms of the instrument pursuant to which it was issued is subordinate in right of payment to the Securities of each 38 -32- Series) an amount not less than the greater of (A) the net proceeds of the sale of such Principal Property of the Company or (B) the fair value (as determined in any manner approved by the Board of Directors) of such Principal Property of the Company. The provisions of this Section 4.12 shall not prevent a Sale and Leaseback Transaction (x) if the lease entered into by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in connection therewith is for a period, including renewals, of not more than 36 months, (y) if the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company would, at the time of entering into such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, be entitled, without equally and ratably securing the Securities, to create or assume a Lien on such Principal Property securing Indebtedness in an amount at least equal to the Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to clause (4) of Section 4.11 or (z) involving a Sale and Leaseback of a Principal Property of the Company with UHT, the value of which does not exceed five percent of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company.

ARTICLE 6 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. An "Event of Default" occurs if, with respect to any Series of Securities, unless it is either inapplicable to a particular Series or it is specifically deleted, or modified in the Authorizing Resolution and/or supplemental indenture (if any) in respect of the Series, and upon any other events which may be specified as Events of Default in the Authorizing Resolution and/or supplemental indenture (if any) in respect of such Series: (1) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any Securities of such Series when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days; (2) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of any Securities of such Series when the same becomes due and payable at its Maturity or otherwise or defaults in the deposit of any Sinking Fund installment in respect of such Series, when and as payable by the terms of Section 3B.01 hereof; 40 -34- (3) the Company fails to comply with any of its other agreements contained in the Securities of such Series or this Indenture (other than an agreement relating exclusively to another Series of Securities) and the default continues for the period and after the notice specified below; (4) there shall be (i) a default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed or under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or by any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or under any guarantee of payment of Indebtedness by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or by any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or shall hereafter be created, and the effect of such default is to cause such Indebtedness (or Indebtedness so guaranteed) to become due prior to its Stated Maturity or (ii) a failure to pay at the Stated Maturity of any such Indebtedness (or Indebtedness so guaranteed) any amounts then due and owing thereunder; provided, however, that no Default under this clause (4) shall exist if all such defaults and failures to pay relate to Indebtedness (including Indebtedness so guaranteed) with an aggregate principal amount of not more than $5,000,000 at the time outstanding; (5) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: (A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding, (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding, (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 41 -35- (6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (A) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding, (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of its or their properties, or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, and in each case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or (7) final judgments for the payment of money which in the aggregate exceed $5,000,000 at the time outstanding shall be rendered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary by a court of competent jurisdiction and shall remain undischarged for a period (during which execution shall not be effectively stayed) of 60 days after such judgmentbecomes final and nonappealable. The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. For purposes of this Section 6.01, the term "Significant Subsidiary" means a Subsidiary of the Company, including its Subsidiaries, which meets any of the following conditions: (a) the Company's and its other Subsidiaries' investments in and advances to the Subsidiary exceed 10 percent of the total assets of the Company and its 42 -36- Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of any two of the three most recently completed fiscal years; or (b) the Company's and its other Subsidiaries' proportionate share of the total assets of the Subsidiary exceeds 10 percent of the total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of any two of the three most recently completed fiscal years; or (c) the Company's and its other Subsidiaries' equity in the income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles of the Subsidiary exceeds 10 percent of such income of the Company and its Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of any two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. A Default under clause (3) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default and the Company does not cure the Default within 30 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a "Notice of Default." When a Default is cured, it ceases. Such notice shall be given by the Trustee if so requested by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of such Series then outstanding. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to a Trust Officer at the corporate trust office of the Trustee by the Company, the Paying Agent, any Holder or an agent of any Holder. SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6)) with respect to Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of such Securities of such Series then outstanding may, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, and the Trustee shall, upon the request of such Holders, declare all unpaid principal (or, if such Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may then be payable on acceleration as provided in the terms thereof) and accrued interest to the date of acceleration on all such Securities of such Series then outstanding (if not then due and payable) to be due and payable and, upon any such declaration, the same shall become and be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) occurs, all unpaid principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such 43 -37- portion of the principal amount as may then be payable on acceleration as provided in the terms thereof) and accrued interest on all Securities of every Series then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholder. Upon payment of such principal amount and interest, all of the Company's obligations under such Securities of such Series and this Indenture with respect to such Securities of such Series, other than obligations under Section 7.07, shall terminate. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such Series then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if (i) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Securities of such Series which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived, (ii) interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (iii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (iv) all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 7.07 have been made. SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities of the Series as to which the Event of Default shall have occurred or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Securities or the Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities of the Series as to which the Event of Default shall have occurred or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy occurring upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy 44 -38- or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a Series by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any such Security as specified in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 6.01. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases. SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a Series (or, if more than one Series is affected, of all such Series voting as a single class) may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Securityholder, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. A Securityholder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of the applicable Series unless: (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the Series in respect of which the Event of Default has occurred make a written request to the Trustee to pursue a remedy; 45 -39- (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series do not give the Trustee a direction which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request. A Holder of Securities of any Series may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities of that Series or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Holders of Securities in that Series. SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of interest or principal specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of the Series in respect of which the Event of Default has occurred for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest overdue on principal or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the then accreted value, and interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by such Securities or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at a rate equal to the Yield to Maturity thereof, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including 46 -40- the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any Series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding. SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to Securities of a Series, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; Second: to the Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities of such Series in respect of which monies have been collected for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and Third: to the Company. 47 -41- The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10. SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by any Holder or a group of Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all Series (or, if the matter in issue does not relate to all Series of Securities, then the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all Series to which such issue relates) (treated as a single class).

(d) No provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. Subject to Section 6.07, with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all Series affected thereby (voting as a single class), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or such Securities without notice to any Securityholder. Subject to Section 6.07, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all Series affected thereby (voting as a single class) may waive compliance by the 58 -52- Company with any provision of this Indenture or such Securities without notice to any Securityholder; provided, that, only the holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of a particular Series may waive compliance with a provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such Series having applicability solely to such Series. However, without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not: (1) reduce the amount of Securities of such Series or all Series (voting as a single class), as the case may be, whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; (2) reduce the rate or change the Stated Maturity for payment of interest on any Security; (3) reduce the principal or any premium payable upon the redemption of or change the Stated Maturity of any Security; (4) waive a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security; (5) make any changes in Section 6.04, 6.07 or the third sentence of this Section 9.02; or (6) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Security. A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular Series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other Series. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, 59 -53- supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of such Security or portion of such Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke in writing the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver which shall be at least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of a Security of such Series, unless it makes a change described in any clauses (1) through (6) of Section 9.02. In that case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security of the same Series that evidences the same debt as the consent Holder's Security. 60 -54- SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security of the same Series that reflects the changed terms. SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

SECTION 10.12 Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. SECTION 10.13. Separability.

Action of Holders When Securities Are Denominated in Different Currencies. Whenever any action is to be taken hereunder by the Holders of two or more Series of Securities denominated in different currencies, then, for the purposes of determining the principal amount of Securities held by such Holders, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities denominated in a currency other than United States dollars shall be deemed to be that amount of United States dollars that could be obtained for such principal amount on the basis of the spot rate of exchange for such currency as determined by the Company or by an authorized exchange rate agent and evidenced to the Trustee by an Officers' Certificate as of the date the taking of such action by the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the Securities is evidenced to the Trustee. An exchange rate agent may be authorized in advance or from time to time by the Company, and may be the Trustee or its Affiliate.

The costs and risks of any 65 -59- such exchange, including without limitations, the risks of delay and exchange rate fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company; the Company shall remain fully liable for any shortfall or delinquency in the full amount of Required Currency then due and payable, and in no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

             In connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") to be filed by Universal Health Services, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), relating to the public offering of up to $150,000,000
principal amount of Debt Securities (the "Debt Securities") which may be issued
under and pursuant to a proposed Indenture between the Company and PNC Bank,
NA, as trustee (the "Indenture"), we, as counsel for the Company, have examined
such corporate records, other documents and questions of law as we have
considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.  Our
opinion set forth below is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware.

             We assume that appropriate action will be taken, prior to the
offer and sale of the Debt Securities, to register and qualify such Debt
Securities for sale under all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws.

             In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted
to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents
submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the
originals of such latter documents.

             Based on the foregoing, we advise you that in our opinion the Debt
Securities which may be issued and sold by the Company have been duly and
validly authorized for issuance by the Company, and, when duly executed and
authenticated in accordance with the terms  of the Indenture and delivered and
paid for as contemplated in the Prospectus (including the supplement thereto)
forming part of the Registration Statement, the Debt Securities will be legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company (subject to bankruptcy, insolvency
and other laws which affect the rights of creditors generally, including the
laws of the State of Delaware relating to compromises, arrangements and
reorganizations).

Hospital Closing, Additional Consideration and Instruments of Transfer and Conveyance. 2.1 Hospital Closing Date. The Hospital Closing shall take place on the date which is five days after all of the conditions precedent to the Hospital Closing have been satisfied or waived at the offices of Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation, One Park Plaza, Nashville, Tennessee 37203, or at such other time and place as the parties hereto may agree; provided that such date shall be no later than April 30, 1995. The date of the Hospital Closing is referred to herein as (the "Hospital Closing Date"). The Hospital Closing shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. on May 1, 1995 (the "Effective Time"). 2.2 Additional Consideration. (a) Contemporaneously with the Hospital Closing, on the Hospital Closing Date, UHS or the UHS Sub shall deposit the sum of $45,231,155, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the "Cash Deposit"), with a qualified intermediary designated by C/HCA for the purpose of allowing C/HCA to treat the Exchange as a like-kind exchange of assets for tax purposes. (b) The Cash Deposit shall be subject to the following adjustments at the Hospital Closing: -14- 24 (i) if Net Working Capital (as defined below) of the C/HCA Hospitals less the Net Working Capital of the UHS Hospitals is less than $482,225, the Cash Deposit shall be reduced by such amount as such difference is less than $482,225, on a dollar-for-dollar basis. If Net Working Capital of the C/HCA Hospitals less the Net Working Capital of the UHS Hospitals is greater than $482,225, the Cash Deposit shall be increased by such amount as such difference is greater than $482,225 on a dollar-for-dollar-basis. As used herein, "Net Working Capital" means the sum of usable inventories, prepaid expenses, sums due from TCOM, medical office building rent receivables and other current assets less accounts payable (other than liabilities included within the C/HCA Excluded Liabilities or the UHS Excluded Liabilities), accrued payroll and benefits, accrued vacation and paid time off, accrued property taxes and accrued miscellaneous expenses of the UHS Hospitals or C/HCA, as the case may be, all items calculated as of the Hospital Closing Date in accordance with Schedule 2.2 hereof provided that the parties agree that physician loans and assets associated with physician loans are not included in "Net Working Capital" although physician loans and assets associated with physician loans shall constitute a C/HCA Asset or a UHS Asset, as the case may be, to be transferred unless such physician loans and/or assets associated therewith have been designated as part of the C/HCA Excluded Assets or the UHS Excluded Assets; (ii) to the extent that C/HCA assumes capital lease obligations of the UHS Affiliates, other than in existence on September 30, 1994, and then only with respect to up to $400,000 of such obligations in the aggregate, and any other long-term indebtedness which is not included in the calculation of Net Working Capital, the Cash Deposit shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis of such amount; -15- 25 (iii) to the extent that UHS assumes capital lease obligations of C/HCA, other than in existence on September 30, 1994, and then only with respect to up to $400,000 of such obligations in the aggregate, and any other long-term indebtedness which is not included in the calculation of Net Working Capital, the Cash Deposit shall be reduced on a dollar-for dollar basis of such amount; and (c) The Net Working Capital specified in subsection (b) hereof shall be estimated in good faith at the Hospital Closing to the extent reasonably possible based on the latest available unaudited balance sheets of C/HCA and UHS Affiliates prior to the Hospital Closing and shall be set forth in a preliminary closing statement (the "Preliminary Closing Statement"). No later than sixty (60) days after the Hospital Closing ("Hospital Closing Statement Date"), the parties shall prepare the final closing statement (the "Final Closing Statement") reflecting the Net Working Capital determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the example provided by Schedule 2.2. Adjustments made after the Hospital Closing based on the Final Closing Statement shall be payable in cash, on or before the tenth day following the day the Final Closing Statement is agreed upon. If the parties are unable to agree on the Final Closing Statement within thirty (30) days after the Hospital Closing Statement Date, the calculations, and all supporting documentation, shall be submitted for determination to the Charleston, South Carolina office of Peat Marwick, a firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing (the "Accountant") as expert and not as arbitrator. The foregoing provisions for review by Accountant shall be specifically enforceable by the parties; the decision of such Accountant shall be final and binding on the parties; there shall be no right of appeal from such decision; and such Accountant's fees and expenses for such disputed -16- 26 determination shall be borne by the party whose determination has been modified by the Accountant's report or by both parties in proportion to the relative amount each party's determination has been modified. The parties shall pay each other pursuant to such determination the appropriate adjustment amounts within ten (10) business days of the earlier of (i) delivery of the Accountant's calculation, or (ii) the parties' agreement respecting the amount due. (d) As used herein "usable inventory" shall mean that inventory which is not obsolete. In determining what portion of the inventory constituting the inventory which is part of the UHS Assets or the C/HCA Assets, as the case may be, and which is valued in the calculation of Net Working Capital as provided herein, each party shall conduct a physical count of the inventory on hand as of the Hospital Closing Date and shall allow a representative of the other party to monitor the same (the "Monitoring Party"). Should the Monitoring Party determine that any of the inventory is obsolete (the "Obsolete Inventory") and not of use in the business being acquired, then such Obsolete Inventory shall not be included in the valuation of the usable inventory which makes up a part of the UHS Assets or C/HCA Assets, as the case may be. Any disputes with respect to whether or not particular inventory is Obsolete Inventory shall be subject to the same dispute resolution as applies to disputes in the Net Working Capital calculation as set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section. 2.3 Instruments of Conveyance and Transfer of Books and Records. (a) At the Hospital Closing, C/HCA and the UHS Affiliates and UHS of Delaware shall deliver to each other such deeds, bills of sale, endorsements, assignments, assumptions and other instruments of sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment, and assumption, satisfactory in form and substance to each party and its -17- 27 counsel, as may be reasonably requested by the such party, in order to convey to C/HCA or the UHS Group, as the case may be, good and marketable title to the UHS Assets or the C/HCA Assets, respectively, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Encumbrances. C/HCA and the UHS Affiliates shall pay all sales, transfer or stamp taxes, or similar charges, payable by reason of the Exchange with respect to their property being exchanged. (b) At the Hospital Closing, C/HCA and the UHS Affiliates and UHS of Delaware shall deliver to the other party all written consents which are required under any UHS Assumed Contract or C/HCA Assumed Contract, respectively, being assigned hereunder; provided, however, that as to any such Assumed Contract the assignment of which by its terms requires prior consent of the parties thereto, if such consent is not obtained prior to or on the Hospital Closing Date, C/HCA or the UHS Affiliates or UHS of Delaware shall deliver to the other party written documentation setting forth arrangements for the transfer of the economic benefit of such Assumed Contracts to the other party as of the Hospital Closing Date under terms and conditions acceptable to all the parties hereto, in accordance with the terms of Sections 9.1 and 9.2 hereof. (c) At the Hospital Closing, C/HCA and the UHS Affiliates and UHS of Delaware shall deliver special warranty deeds to the C/HCA Owned Property and the UHS Owned Property, respectively, in form acceptable to the other party and its counsel with good and marketable fee simple title, free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Encumbrances. C/HCA and the UHS Affiliates and UHS of Delaware shall deliver evidence of good, marketable and insurable title to the C/HCA Owned Property and the UHS Owned Property in the form of an ALTA Owner's or (in the -18- 28 case of UHS Leased Property) Lessee's Policy of Title Insurance (Form B, 1970) in an aggregate amount acceptable to the other party (the "Title Policy"). The Title Policy will be issued by a title insurance company satisfactory to the other party (such company hereinafter called the "Title Company"), and shall insure UHS Sub's fee simple title to the C/HCA Owned Property and C/HCA's fee simple or leasehold (as the case may be) title to the UHS Real Property, and the appurtenant rights, privileges and easements, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and such other exceptions as the other party shall approve in writing. Such policy shall provide full coverage against mechanics' or materialmen's liens arising out of any work, labor, materials or services furnished or claimed to have been furnished to the C/HCA Real Property or the UHS Real Property, as the case may be, or any part thereof prior to the Hospital Closing, and shall contain endorsements insuring over all other printed or standard general exceptions, a 3.1 zoning endorsement, a contiguity endorsement, an access endorsement and such other endorsements as specified herein or as the other party may reasonably require. C/HCA and the UHS Affiliates and UHS of Delaware shall also furnish to the other party, as soon as possible, but no later than the Hospital Closing Date, an "as built" survey(s) with respect to the C/HCA Real Property and the UHS Real Property, as the case may be. Such survey(s) shall be prepared by a surveyor licensed in the state where the C/HCA Real Property or the UHS Real Property, as the case may be, is located who is satisfactory to the other party and shall be in accordance with ALTA-ACSM standards for Class A urban-commercial surveys, shall be dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement, shall be certified in favor of both parties and the Title Company, shall depict the subject land and the improvements, show all manholes, structures and utility lines, in, over, under or upon such land and the locations of all -19- 29 easements upon such land or appurtenant thereto (which shall be identified by a recording office instrument number), locate and number the parking spaces on such land, locate all set back lines and similar restrictions covering the C/HCA Real Property and the UHS Real Property, as the case may be, and any violation of such restrictions, and all other matters which are ascertainable by a careful inspection and survey of the C/HCA Real Property and the UHS Real Property, as the case may be. The survey(s) shall also show that there are no encroachments of any improvements or easements, public rights-of-way or other adjacent properties, or encroachments of other improvements located on adjoining properties onto any of the C/HCA Real Property and the UHS Real Property, as the case may be. C/HCA and the UHS Affiliates shall equally share the costs of all premiums and other expenses relating to all such survey and title insurance policy commitments required to be delivered herein and recording fees payable by reason of the delivery or recording of the special warranty deeds to the C/HCA Real Property or the UHS Real Property, subject to Section 12 hereof. (d) Any transfer of the UHS Assets by the UHS Affilliates to UHS of Delaware for further transfer to C/HCA shall occur and be effective no earlier than immediately prior to the Hospital Closing on the Hospital Closing Date. 2.4 Disclaimer of Warranties. Except as expressly set forth herein, the C/HCA Assets and the UHS Assets, respectively, are to be transferred in their condition on the Hospital Closing Date, " AS IS," WITH NO WARRANTY OF HABITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR HABITATION, WITH RESPECT TO LAND, BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS, AND WITH NO WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, with respect to the equipment, inventory, and supplies, any and -20- 30 all of which warranties (both express and implied) C/HCA and the UHS Affiliates and UHS of Delaware, respectively, hereby disclaim. All of the C/HCA Assets and the UHS Assets shall be further subject to normal wear and tear on the land, buildings, improvements and equipment and normal and customary use of the inventory and supplies up to the Hospital Closing. 3.

C/HCA has delivered to the UHS Group true, correct and complete copies of the unaudited balance sheet of C/HCA as of September 30, 1994 (the "C/HCA September Balance Sheet") and the related statements of operations, and statements of retained earnings and cash flows for the 9 months then ended, (the "C/HCA September Financial Statements"). The C/HCA September Financial Statements have been prepared from the books and records of -23- 33 C/HCA and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently followed throughout the period covered thereby (except as set forth on Schedule 3.4.1), and the balance sheet included therein presents fairly as of its date the financial condition of C/HCA. The statements of operations, and statements of retained earnings and cash flows included in the C/HCA September Financial Statements present fairly the results of operations, retained earnings and cash flows of C/HCA for the periods indicated. 3.4.2 Inventories. All inventories of C/HCA set forth on the C/HCA September Balance Sheet, and all inventories acquired subsequent to September 30, 1994 (the "Balance Sheet Date") are valued at the lower of cost (applied on a first-in-first-out basis) or market in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All inventories included in the C/HCA Assets consist, and at the Hospital Closing will consist, of a quality and quantity usable and saleable in the ordinary course of business without discount or reduction, except for items of obsolete materials, all of which will be written down at the Hospital Closing to realizable market value. The present quantities of inventory of C/HCA are, and at the Hospital Closing will be, reasonable and warranted in the present and then circumstances of the C/HCA Hospitals. 3.4.3 Events Subsequent to the Balance Sheet Date. Since the Balance Sheet Date there has been no material adverse change in the assets or liabilities, or in the business or condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of operations or prospects, of C/HCA, whether as a result of any legislative or regulatory change, revocation of any License or right to do business, fire, explosion, accident, casualty, labor trouble, flood, drought, riot, storm, condemnation or act of God or -24- 34 otherwise, and, to the best knowledge of C/HCA, no fact or condition exists or is contemplated or threatened which could reasonably be anticipated to cause such a change in the future. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.4.3 and except for seasonality changes, since the Balance Sheet Date, C/HCA has not (a) borrowed any amount or incurred or become subject to any liability (absolute, accrued or contingent), except current liabilities incurred and liabilities under contracts entered into, all of which were in the ordinary course of business; (b) discharged or satisfied any Lien or incurred or paid any obligation or liability (absolute, accrued or contingent) other than current liabilities shown on the most recent balance sheet included in the C/HCA September Financial Statements and current liabilities incurred since the Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business; (c) declared or made any payment or distribution (whether in cash, securities, other property or any combination thereof) on or in respect of the capital stock of C/HCA; (d) mortgaged, pledged or subjected to Lien any of its assets, tangible or intangible (including the C/HCA Assets), other than Liens of current real property taxes not yet due and payable; (e) sold, assigned or transferred any of its tangible assets except in the ordinary course of business, or canceled any debt or claim; (f) sold, assigned, transferred or granted any license with respect to any trademark, trade name, service mark, copyright, trade secret or other intangible asset; (g) suffered any loss of property or waived any right of substantial value whether or not in the ordinary course of business; (h) suffered any material adverse change in its relations with, or any loss or threatened loss of, any of its material suppliers, managed care contracts, physician relationships or Medicare or Medicaid contracts; (i)(1) entered into any employment, deferred compensation or other similar agreement (or any amendment to any such -25- 35 existing agreement) or arrangement with any of its directors, officers or employees, (2) increased any benefits payable under any existing severance or termination pay policies or employment agreements, or (3) increased the compensation, bonus or other benefits payable to any of its directors, officers or, other than in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice, employees; (j) made any material change in the manner of its business or operations, including without limitation any change in the manner in which it extends credit to patients or otherwise deals with patients; (k) made any material change in any method of accounting or accounting practice, except for any such changes required by reason of a concurrent change in generally accepted accounting principles; (l) written off as uncollectible any accounts or notes receivable in excess of reserves; (m) been the subject of any labor dispute or threat thereof; (n) entered into any transaction except in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise contemplated hereby; or (o) entered into any commitment (contingent or otherwise) to do any of the foregoing. 3.5 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. C/HCA does not have any direct debt, liability or obligation of any nature, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, which is not reflected or reserved against in the C/HCA September Financial Statements except for (a) those which are not required by generally accepted accounting principles to be so reflected, (b) those which were incurred in the ordinary course of business and are usual and normal in amount both individually and in the aggregate, and (c) any debt, liability or obligation otherwise disclosed in this Agreement or the Schedules hereto. -26- 36 3.6 Real Property. (a) Schedule 3.6 hereto identifies all interests in real property including land and improvements held by C/HCA as of the date hereof, together with the nature of such interest. To the extent that any such interest is shared, Schedule 3.6 also sets forth the nature and proportion of the sharing arrangement. Each of the properties on Schedule 3.6 is identified either as a property in which C/HCA holds all or a portion of the fee title (individually, an "C/HCA Owned Property" and collectively, the "C/HCA Owned Properties"), or all or a portion of a leasehold estate in the property (individually, a "C/HCA Leased Property" and collectively, the "C/HCA Leased Properties"). The C/HCA Owned Properties and the C/HCA Leased Properties are collectively referred to herein as "C/HCA Real Property." (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6, C/HCA has good, valid and marketable title to each C/HCA Owned Property free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except for Permitted Encumbrances. C/HCA's occupation, possession and use of the C/HCA Leased Properties has not been disturbed and no claim has been asserted or, to the best knowledge of C/HCA, threatened, adverse to the respective rights of C/HCA to the continued occupation, possession and use of the C/HCA Leased Properties, as currently utilized and as presently contemplated to be utilized. (c) No portion of the C/HCA Real Property has suffered any material damage by fire or other casualty which heretofore has not been completely repaired and restored to its original condition. No person other than C/HCA owns any C/HCA Improvements (as defined below) necessary to the operation of the business of C/HCA, except for leased C/HCA Improvements disclosed on Schedule 3.6. -27- 37 (d) The use and operation of the C/HCA Real Property and all buildings, structures, improvements, fixtures, facilities, equipment, all components of all buildings, structures and other improvements included within the C/HCA Real Property including, but not limited to, the roofs and structural elements thereof and the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, sewer, waste water, storm water, paving and parking equipment, systems and facilities included therein (collectively, the "C/HCA Improvements") by C/HCA is lawful and in full compliance with all use statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, orders, writs, injunctions, judgments, decrees, awards and restrictions, including without limitation, zoning and land use laws (collectively, "Use Laws") of every person, including, without limitation, any foreign or domestic court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality (a "Government Entity") having jurisdiction over any such C/HCA Real Property and C/HCA Improvements. The construction and use of the C/HCA Improvements on each parcel of C/HCA Real Property is lawful and in full compliance with all use statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, orders, writs, injunctions, judgments, decrees, awards and restrictions, including without limitation, all laws relating to the construction and safety of the C/HCA Improvements and access thereto by the handicapped (collectively, "Construction Laws" and, collectively with the Use Laws, "Real Property Laws") of every Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over any such C/HCA Real Property and C/HCA Improvements. Effective as of the Hospital Closing, the UHS Group shall have the right under all Real Property Laws to continue the use and operation of the C/HCA Real Property and C/HCA Improvements for their current uses in the operation of the business of C/HCA as presently operated. To the best of C/HCA's knowledge for the past six years, C/HCA has not received any notice -28- 38 of any violation of or investigation regarding any Real Property Laws. None of the C/HCA Real Property or the C/HCA Improvements, the appurtenances thereto or the equipment therein or the operation or maintenance thereof violates any restrictive covenant or, except as shown on the survey, encroaches on any property owned by others or any easement, right of way or other encumbrance or restriction affecting the C/HCA Real Property and/or C/HCA Improvements in any manner which would, individually or in the aggregate, interfere in any material respect with the use, occupancy or operation thereof as currently used, occupied and operated. To the best knowledge of C/HCA and except as shown on the survey, no building or structure of any third party encroaches upon the C/HCA Real Property or any easement or right of way benefitting the C/HCA Real Property.

The UHS Group, the UHS Affiliates and UHS of Delaware do not know of any facts or circumstances which indicate that the transfer of the UHS Assets through UHS of Delaware to C/HCA is -76- 86 likely to result in any Losses which would not have been incurred but for the involvement of UHS of Delaware in the transaction. 5.

Certain Actions After the Closing. 9.1 UHS to Act as Agent for C/HCA. (a) This Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any contract right included among the C/HCA Assets if any attempted assignment of the same without the consent of the other party thereto would constitute a breach thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of C/HCA thereunder. If such consent is not obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would adversely affect C/HCA's rights thereunder so that UHS Sub would -113- 123 not in fact receive all such rights, then C/HCA shall cooperate with UHS Sub in any reasonable arrangement in order to obtain for UHS Sub the benefits thereunder, including the enforcement of any and all rights of C/HCA arising out of any breach or cancellation by any other party thereto. If after the Hospital Closing Date, any previously unobtained consent shall be obtained, UHS Sub shall assume such contract and C/HCA shall be deemed to have assigned it to UHS Sub as of the Hospital Closing Date. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, all expenses and liabilities arising after the Hospital Closing Date pursuant to any contract as to which a necessary consent shall have not been obtained but the benefits of which are accepted by UHS Sub shall be for the account of UHS Sub, and C/HCA shall be promptly reimbursed by UHS Sub for any expenses or liabilities which C/HCA may be required to pay with respect thereto.

If such consent is not obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would adversely affect the UHS Affiliates' rights thereunder so that C/HCA would not in fact receive all such rights, then the UHS Affiliates shall cooperate with C/HCA in any reasonable arrangement in order to obtain for C/HCA the benefits thereunder, including the enforcement of any and all rights of the UHS Affiliates arising out of any breach or cancellation by any other party thereto. If after the Hospital Closing Date, any previously unobtained consent shall be obtained, C/HCA shall assume such contract and the UHS Affiliates shall be deemed to have assigned it -115- 125 to C/HCA as of the Hospital Closing Date. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, all expenses and liabilities arising after the Hospital Closing Date pursuant to any contract as to which a necessary consent shall have not been obtained but the benefits of which are accepted by C/HCA shall be for the account of C/HCA, and the UHS Affiliates shall be promptly reimbursed by C/HCA for any expenses or liabilities which the UHS Affiliates may be required to pay with respect thereto. Anything in this Section to the contrary, C/HCA may elect not to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby, if any contract is not assigned to it with the requisite consent. (b) Delivery of Property Received by the UHS Affiliates, UHS or C/HCA After the Hospital Closing. From and after the Hospital Closing, C/HCA shall have the right and authority to collect, for the account of C/HCA, all assets which shall be transferred or are intended to be transferred to C/HCA as part of the UHS Assets as provided in this Agreement.

Following the Hospital Closing Date the UHS Affiliates agree to discharge in accordance with their terms the UHS Assumed -116- 126 Liabilities and the UHS Excluded Liabilities, respectively. As used herein, "UHS Assumed Liabilities" means those liabilities of C/HCA that are included within the definition of Assumed Liabilities herein and have been assumed by UHS Sub according to the terms of the Agreement. (d) Conveyance Restriction. The UHS Group, the UHS Affiliates and UHS of Delaware agree that for a period of ten years from the Hospital Closing Date, without the prior consent of the Federal Trade Commission, the UHS Group, the UHS Affiliates and UHS of Delaware will not reconvey the C/HCA Assets to anyone, other than an affiliate of UHS, who operates an acute care hospital in Richmond and Columbia Counties, Georgia or Aiken County, South Carolina. 10.

(ii) With respect to any third-party claims or proceedings as to which the Claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Indemnitor shall have the right to select and employ counsel of its own choosing to defend against any such claim or proceeding, to assume control of the defense of such claim or proceeding, and to compromise, settle or otherwise dispose of the same, if the Indemnitor deems it advisable to do so, all at the expense of the Indemnitor; provided, however that the Claimant may also employ counsel, of its own choosing, at its sole expense. The parties will -120- 130 fully cooperate in any such action, and shall make available to each other any books or records useful for the defense of any such claim or proceeding.
