Ladies and Gentlemen:

UHS Escrow Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Escrow Issuer”) and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Universal Health Services Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several initial purchasers listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), for whom J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as representative (the “Representative”), $250,000,000 principal amount of its 7% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture to be dated as of September 29, 2010 (the “Indenture”) between the Escrow Issuer and Union Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), and will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the guarantors listed in Schedule 2 hereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”).

The Securities are being issued and sold in connection with the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by the Company of Psychiatric Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PSI”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger between the Company, Olympus Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and PSI, dated as of May 16, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”). For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Transactions” is used in the same way as such term is used in the Offering Memorandum and means, collectively, the Acquisition and the related financings described under the heading “The Transactions” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum (as defined below). The net proceeds of the offering of the Securities will be used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition. The Acquisition is expected to be consummated following the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2 below).


Prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, the net proceeds of the offering of the Securities will be held in escrow pending the consummation of the Acquisition and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in the Escrow and Security Agreement (as defined below) (the date of the satisfaction of such conditions, the “Completion Date”). On or prior to the Closing Date, the Escrow Issuer will execute an escrow and security agreement, in the form and substance to be agreed among the Escrow Issuer, the Escrow Agent and the Initial Purchasers, which shall conform in all material respects with the description thereof included in the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum (the “Escrow and Security Agreement”), and will deposit with Union Bank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), in the account specified in the Escrow and Security Agreement (the “Escrow Account”) the net proceeds of the offering of the Securities, together with an additional $                , such that the escrowed funds (the “Escrowed Funds”) are in an amount sufficient to redeem the Securities in cash at a redemption price of 101% of the issue price of the Securities, plus the “Accrued Yield” (as defined in the Escrow and Security Agreement), if applicable, and, without duplication, accrued and unpaid interest thereon through December 31, 2010. The Securities will be redeemed pursuant to a special mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to 101% of the issue price of the Securities, plus the “Accrued Yield,” if applicable, and, without duplication, accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of redemption in the event that (a) in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Completion Date will not occur on or prior to December 31, 2010 or (b) the Completion Date has not occurred on or prior to December 31, 2010. The Escrow and Security Agreement shall provide that the Escrowed Funds shall only be withdrawn and paid out pursuant to the terms of the Escrow and Security Agreement.

The Securities will be sold to the Initial Purchasers without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon an exemption therefrom. The Company, the Escrow Issuer and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors that is a subsidiary of the Company (the “UHS Subsidiary Guarantors”) have prepared a preliminary offering memorandum dated September 14, 2010 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”) and will prepare an offering memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Offering Memorandum”) setting forth information concerning the Company, the Escrow Issuer and the Securities. Copies of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum have been, and copies of the Offering Memorandum will be, delivered by the Company and the Escrow Issuer to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Company and the Escrow Issuer hereby confirm that they have authorized the use of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the other Time of Sale Information (as defined below) and the Offering Memorandum in connection with the offering and resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by this Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. References herein to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include any document incorporated by reference therein.

At or prior to the time when sales of the Securities were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the following information shall have been prepared (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as supplemented and amended by the written communications listed on Annex A hereto.

Holders of the Securities (including the Initial Purchasers and their direct and indirect transferees) will be entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, to be dated the Closing Date (as defined below) and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company, the Escrow Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors will agree to file one or more registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Securities or the Exchange Securities referred to (and as defined) in the Registration Rights Agreement.

On the Completion Date, each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will enter into a supplemental indenture to the Indenture, a form of which is attached to the Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), pursuant to which it will become a party to the Indenture. Also concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition on the Completion Date, the Escrow Issuer will merge with and into the Company, and the Company will assume all the obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the Securities. From and after the Completion Date, the payment of principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors (the “Guarantees”).

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. The Company, the Escrow Issuer and each of the UHS Subsidiary Guarantors (and, from the Completion Date, the PSI Guarantors) jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use therein.

(b) Indemnification of the Company, the Escrow Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Escrow Issuer, each of the UHS Subsidiary Guarantors, each of their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company, the Escrow Issuer or any of the UHS Subsidiary Guarantors (and, from the Completion Date, the PSI Guarantors, each of their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any of the PSI Guarantors) within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement

 

27


thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the following: the third paragraph, the third and fourth sentences of the tenth paragraph and the twelfth paragraph, in each case, found under the heading “Plan of distribution.”

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and any such separate firm for the Company, the Escrow Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors, their respective directors and officers and any control persons of the Company, the Escrow Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any

 

28


settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the Escrow Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, the Escrow Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, the Escrow Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Escrow Issuer from the sale of the Securities and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company, the Escrow Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Escrow Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company, the Escrow Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any

 

29


such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Company and the Escrow Issuer, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company, the Escrow Issuer, PSI or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery, of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum.

9. Defaulting Initial Purchaser. (a) If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company and the Escrow Issuer on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company and the Escrow Issuer shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser, any of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, the Company or the Escrow Issuer may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the Escrow Issuer or the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Time of Sale Information, the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company and the Escrow Issuer agree to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the

 

30


context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Securities that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Escrow Issuer as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company and the Escrow Issuer shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Initial Purchaser’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Escrow Issuer as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company and the Escrow Issuer shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, the Escrow Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors, except that the Company, the Escrow Issuer and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 10 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company, the Escrow Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

10. Payment of Expenses. (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company, the Escrow Issuer and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and printing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication and the Offering Memorandum (including any amendment or supplement thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s, the Escrow Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial Purchasers); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the

 

31


Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and applicable fees of the Escrow Agent; (ix) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; and (x) all expenses incurred by the Company and the Escrow Issuer in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8, (ii) the Escrow Issuer for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers or (iii) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company, the Escrow Issuer and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

11. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates, officers and directors of each Initial Purchaser referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

12. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Escrow Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company, the Escrow Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the Escrow Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers.

12. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; (c) the term “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (d) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and (e) the term “written communication” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

13. Release of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. The Escrow Issuer and the Company represent and warrant that the Subsidiary Guarantors listed on Schedule 2 hereto are the subsidiaries of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, PSI that they expect will guarantee the Senior Credit Facility and will be Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to the Notes. It is understood that, pursuant to Section 4(p) hereof, any subsidiary of the Company or PSI that guarantees the Senior Credit Facility or other indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor on the Completion Date but is not set forth on Schedule 2 will execute and deliver the

 

32

Each of the PSI Guarantors hereby appoints the Company as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any such action arising out of or based on the Purchase Agreement, this Joinder to the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities, the Guarantees or the transactions contemplated hereby which may be instituted in any New York court by any Initial Purchaser or by any person who controls any Initial Purchaser. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the applicable PSI Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the applicable PSI Guarantor.
