FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
This prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and our other public statements contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect our current estimates, expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, the information concerning our possible future results of operations, business and growth strategies, financing plans, expectations that regulatory developments or other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, our competitive position and the effects of competition, the projected growth of the industry in which we operate, and the benefits and synergies to be obtained from our completed and any future acquisitions, and statements of our goals and objectives, and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “appears,” “projects” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or our good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. In evaluating those statements, you should specifically consider the following important factors, along with the risk factors identified under “Risk Factors” and the risk factors incorporated by reference herein, which could affect future results and cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements:
| • | the healthcare industry is labor intensive and salaries, wages and benefits are subject to inflationary pressures, as are supplies expense and other operating expenses. In the past, staffing shortages have, at times, required us to hire expensive temporary personnel and/or enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel. At certain facilities, particularly within our behavioral health care segment, there have been occasions when we were unable to fill all vacant positions and, consequently, we were required to limit patient volumes. We have also experienced general inflationary cost increases related to certain of our other operating expenses. Many of these factors, which had a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations in prior years, have moderated more recently. However, we cannot predict future inflationary increases, which if significant, could have a material unfavorable impact on our future results of operations. We have experienced inflationary pressures, primarily in personnel costs, although those pressures have moderated more recently. The extent of any future impacts from inflation on our business and our results of operations will be dependent upon how long the elevated inflation levels persist and the extent to which the rate of inflation further increases, if at all, neither of which we are able to predict. If elevated levels of inflation were to persist or if the rate of inflation were to accelerate, our expenses could increase faster than anticipated and we may utilize our capital resources sooner than expected. Further, given the complexities of the reimbursement landscape in which we operate, our ability to pass on increased costs associated with providing healthcare to Medicare and Medicaid patients is limited due to various federal, state and local laws, which in certain circumstances, limit our ability to increase prices; |
| • | in our acute care segment, we have experienced a significant increase in hospital based physician related expenses, especially in the areas of emergency room care and anesthesiology. We have implemented various initiatives to mitigate the increased expense, to the degree possible, which has moderated the rate of increase. However, significant increases in these physician related expenses could have a material unfavorable impact on our future results of operations; |
| • | the increase in interest rates during the past few years has increased our interest expense significantly increasing our expenses and reducing our free cash flow and our ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms. As such, the effects of increased borrowing rates have adversely impacted our results |
-4-
of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We cannot predict future changes to interest rates, however, significant increases in our borrowing rates could have a material unfavorable impact on our future results of operations; |
| • | President Biden signed into law fiscal year 2024 appropriations to federal agencies for continuing projects and activities through September 30, 2024. We cannot predict whether or not there will be future legislation averting a federal government shutdown, however, our operating cash flows and results of operations could be materially unfavorably impacted by a federal government shutdown; |
| • | on December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, was signed into law phasing out the enhanced federal medical assistance percentage rate that states received during the COVID-19 public health emergency and fully eliminated the increase on December 31, 2023. States were also permitted to begin Medicaid eligibility redeterminations on March 31, 2023, which has resulted in a decrease in Medicaid enrollment; |
| • | our ability to comply with the existing laws and government regulations, and/or changes in laws and government regulations; |
| • | an increasing number of legislative initiatives have been passed into law that may result in major changes in the health care delivery system on a national or state level. For example, Congress has reduced to $0 the penalty for failing to maintain health coverage that was part of the original Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively, the “Legislation”) as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. To date, the Biden administration has issued executive orders implementing a special enrollment period permitting individuals to enroll in health plans outside of the annual open enrollment period and reexamining policies that may undermine the Legislation or the Medicaid program. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was passed on August 16, 2022, which among other things, allows for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) to negotiate prices for certain single-source drugs reimbursed under Medicare Part B and Part D. The American Rescue Plan Act’s expansion of subsidies to purchase coverage through a Legislation exchange, which the IRA continued through 2025, is anticipated to increase exchange enrollment. However, if the subsidies are not extended beyond 2025, exchange enrollment may be adversely impacted; |
| • | there have been numerous political and legal efforts to expand, repeal, replace or modify the Legislation, since its enactment, some of which have been successful, in part, in modifying the Legislation, as well as court challenges to the constitutionality of the Legislation. The U.S. Supreme Court held in California v. Texas that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the Legislation’s requirement to obtain minimum essential health insurance coverage, or the individual mandate. The Court dismissed the case without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the Legislation. As a result, the Legislation will continue to remain law, in its entirety, likely for the foreseeable future. On September 7, 2022, the Legislation faced its most recent challenge when a Texas Federal District Court judge, in the case of Braidwood Management v. Becerra, ruled that a requirement that certain health plans cover services without cost sharing violates the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution and that the coverage of certain HIV prevention medication violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The decision was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which on June 21, 2024, affirmed the District Court’s ruling regarding preventive services recommended by United States Preventive Services Task Force being unconstitutional. However, the Fifth Circuit overturned the nationwide injunction imposed by the District Court, preserving access to the majority of preventive services in dispute for now. The matter is expected to be the subject of additional litigation, having been remanded in part to the District Court. The outcome and impacts of this litigation cannot be predicted. Any future efforts to challenge, replace or replace the Legislation or expand or substantially amend its provision is unknown; |
| • | as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (the “CAA”), Congress passed legislation aimed at preventing or limiting patient balance billing in certain circumstances. The CAA addresses |
-5-
surprise medical bills stemming from emergency services, out-of-network ancillary providers at in-network facilities, and air ambulance carriers. The CAA prohibits surprise billing when out-of-network emergency services or out-of-network services at an in-network facility are provided, unless informed consent is received. In these circumstances providers are prohibited from billing the patient for any amounts that exceed in-network cost-sharing requirements. HHS, the Department of Labor and the Department of the Treasury have issued rules to implement the legislation. The rules have limited the ability of our hospital-based physicians to receive payments for services at usually higher out-of-network rates in certain circumstances, and, as a result, have caused us to increase subsidies to these physicians or to replace their services at a higher cost level; |
| • | in June 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Loper Bright Enters. v. Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. v. Department of Commerce, which modified the regulatory interpretation standard established 40 years ago by Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council. Chevron doctrine generally required courts to defer to federal agencies in their interpretation of federal statutes when a statute was silent or ambiguous with respect to a specific issue. In Loper Bright, the Supreme Court held that courts are no longer required to grant such deference, though they may consider an agency’s statutory interpretation. As it is highly regulated, the health care industry could be significantly impacted by the Loper Bright decision, particularly in the areas of Medicare reimbursement, decision making by the Food & Drug Administration and health care fraud and abuse compliance, where parties may no longer be able to rely on federal agencies’ policies, rules and guidance; |
| • | possible unfavorable changes in the levels and terms of reimbursement for our charges by third party payers or government based payers, including Medicare or Medicaid in the United States, and government based payers in the United Kingdom; |
| • | our ability to enter into managed care provider agreements on acceptable terms and the ability of our competitors to do the same; |
| • | the outcome of known and unknown litigation, government investigations, inquiries, false claims act allegations, and liabilities and other claims asserted against us and other matters, and the effects of adverse publicity relating to such matters, including, but not limited to, the March 28, 2024, jury verdict (of compensatory damages of $60 million and punitive damages of $475 million) returned against The Pavilion Behavioral Health System (the “Pavilion”), one of our indirect subsidiaries, as disclosed in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024. The Pavilion has filed post-trial motions, which were heard on August 1, 2024 and August 23, 2024. The Pavilion will pursue an appeal as appropriate depending on the court’s resolution of post-trial motions. We are uncertain as to the ultimate financial exposure related to the Pavilion matter (which relates to an occurrence in 2020) and we can make no assurances regarding timing or substance of its outcome, or the amount of damages that may be ultimately held recoverable after post-judgment proceedings and appeal. While the Pavilion has professional liability insurance to cover a portion of these amounts, the resolution of this matter may have a material adverse effect on the Company. As of June 30, 2024, without reduction for any potential amounts related to the above-mentioned Pavilion matter, the Company and its subsidiaries have aggregate insurance coverage of approximately $221 million remaining under commercial policies for matters applicable to the 2020 policy year (in excess of the applicable self-insured retention amounts of $10 million per occurrence for professional liability claims and $3 million per occurrence for general liability claims). In the event the resolution of the Pavilion matter exhausts all or a significant portion of the remaining commercial insurance coverage available to the Company and its subsidiaries related to other matters that occurred in 2020, or the Pavilion matter causes the posting of a large bond or other collateral during an appeal process, our future results of operations and capital resources could be materially adversely impacted; |
| • | competition from other healthcare providers (including physician owned facilities) in certain markets; |
-6-
| • | technological and pharmaceutical improvements that increase the cost of providing, or reduce the demand for healthcare; |
| • | our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, nurses, physicians and other healthcare professionals and the impact on our labor and related expenses resulting from a shortage of nurses, physicians and other healthcare professionals; |
| • | demographic changes; |
| • | there is a heightened risk of future cybersecurity threats, including ransomware attacks targeting healthcare providers. If successful, future cyberattacks could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any costs that we incur as a result of a data security incident or breach, including costs to update our security protocols to mitigate such an incident or breach could be significant. Any breach or failure in our operational security systems, or any third-party security systems that we rely on, can result in loss of data or an unauthorized disclosure of or access to sensitive or confidential member or protected personal or health information and could result in violations of applicable privacy and other laws, significant penalties or fines, litigation, loss of customers, significant damage to our reputation and business, and other liability or losses. We may also incur additional costs related to cybersecurity risk management and remediation. There can be no assurance that we or our service providers, if applicable, will not suffer losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches in the future or that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover all the costs resulting from such events; |
| • | the availability of suitable acquisition and divestiture opportunities and our ability to successfully integrate and improve our acquisitions since failure to achieve expected acquisition benefits from certain of our prior or future acquisitions could result in impairment charges for goodwill and purchased intangibles; |
| • | the impact of severe weather conditions, including the effects of hurricanes and climate change; |
| • | our business, results of operations, financial condition, or stock price may be adversely affected if we are not able to achieve our environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) goals or comply with emerging ESG regulations, or otherwise meet the expectations of our stakeholders with respect to ESG matters; |
| • | we receive revenues from various state and county-based programs, including Medicaid in all the states in which we operate. We receive annual Medicaid revenues of approximately $100 million, or greater, from each of Texas, Nevada, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Virginia and Florida. We also receive Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments in certain states including, most significantly, Texas. We are therefore particularly sensitive to potential reductions in Medicaid and other state-based revenue programs as well as regulatory, economic, environmental and competitive changes in those states; |
| • | our ability to continue to obtain capital on acceptable terms, including borrowed funds, to fund the future growth of our business; |
| • | our inpatient acute care and behavioral health care facilities may experience decreasing admission and length of stay trends; |
| • | our financial statements reflect large amounts due from various commercial and private payers and there can be no assurance that failure of the payers to remit amounts due to us will not have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations; |
| • | the Budget Control Act of 2011 (the “2011 Act”) imposed annual spending limits for most federal agencies and programs aimed at reducing budget deficits by $917 billion between 2012 and 2021, according to a report released by the Congressional Budget Office. Among its other provisions, the law established a bipartisan Congressional committee, known as the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (the “Joint Committee”), which was tasked with making recommendations aimed at |
-7-
reducing future federal budget deficits by an additional $1.5 trillion over 10 years. The Joint Committee was unable to reach an agreement by the November 23, 2011 deadline and, as a result, across-the-board cuts to discretionary, national defense and Medicare spending were implemented on March 1, 2013 resulting in Medicare payment reductions of up to 2% per fiscal year with a uniform percentage reduction across all Medicare programs. Current legislation has extended these reductions through 2032. We cannot predict whether Congress will restructure the implemented Medicare payment reductions or what other federal budget deficit reduction initiatives may be proposed by Congress going forward; |
| • | uninsured and self-pay patients treated at our acute care facilities unfavorably impact our ability to satisfactorily and timely collect our self-pay patient accounts; |
| • | changes in our business strategies or development plans; |
| • | we have exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the pound sterling. We have international subsidiaries that operate in the United Kingdom. We routinely hedge our exposures to foreign currencies with certain financial institutions in an effort to minimize the impact of certain currency exchange rate fluctuations, but these hedges may be inadequate to protect us from currency exchange rate fluctuations. To the extent that these hedges are inadequate, our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business could be adversely affected. Furthermore, if a financial counterparty to our hedges experiences financial difficulties or is otherwise unable to honor the terms of the foreign currency hedge, we may experience material financial losses; |
| • | the impact of a shift of care from inpatient to lower cost outpatient settings and controls designed to reduce inpatient services on our revenue, and; |
| • | other factors referenced herein or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
Given these uncertainties, risks and assumptions, as outlined above, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Our actual results and financial condition could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except as may be required by law. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Our business is subject to numerous risks, including those that are generally associated with operating in the health care industry. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the risk factors incorporated by reference to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and each subsequently filed Quarterly Report, as well as any risk factors we may describe in any subsequent periodic reports or information we file with the SEC. In addition, when we offer and sell any securities pursuant to a prospectus supplement, we may include additional risk factors relevant to such securities in such prospectus supplement. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation could be adversely affected. Please read “Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements.” It is possible that our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations.
-10-
Except as otherwise set forth in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from sales of the securities for general corporate purposes, which may include the following: refunding, repurchasing, retiring upon maturity or redeeming existing debt; funding for working capital; capital expenditures; repurchases of our capital stock; strategic investments and acquisitions; and for other general corporate purposes. The exact amounts to be used and when the net proceeds will be applied will depend on a number of factors, including our funding requirements and the availability of alternative funding sources.
-11-
The following is a description of the material terms of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and amendments thereto and Amended and Restated Bylaws as currently in effect.
Authorized Capital
Our authorized capital stock consists of 12,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, 150,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $0.01 par value per share, 1,200,000 shares of Class C common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of Class D common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Shares of Class A, C and D common stock may be converted into Class B common stock on a share-for-share basis.
Voting Rights
Class A common stock, Class B common stock, Class C common stock and Class D common stock are substantially similar except that each Class has different voting rights. Each share of Class A common stock has one vote per share; each share of Class B common stock has one-tenth vote per share; each share of Class C common stock has one hundred votes per share; and each share of Class D common stock has ten votes per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a holder of Class C or Class D common stock holds a number of shares of Class A or Class B common stock, respectively, which is less than ten times the number of shares of Class C or Class D common stock, respectively, that such holder holds, then such holder will only be entitled to one vote per share of Class C common stock and one-tenth vote per share of Class D common stock.
Board of Directors
The holders of Class B and Class D common stock, voting together as a separate class, with each share of Class B and Class D common stock having one vote per share, are entitled to elect the greater of 20% of our Board of Directors or one director. The holders of Class B and Class D common stock are also permitted to vote together as a separate Class with respect to certain other matters or as required by applicable law. Holders of Class A and Class C common stock, voting together as a separate class, with each share of Class A and Class C common stock having one vote per share, are entitled to elect the remaining directors and vote together with the holders of Class B and Class D common stock on all other matters.
Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for a Board of Directors of not fewer than three members nor more than nine members, the exact number to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is currently comprised of seven members, and is divided into three classes, with members of each class serving for a three-year term. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors are chosen to succeed those in the class the term of which expires at such annual meeting. Holders of shares of our outstanding Class B and Class D Common Stock (voting together as a single class) are entitled to elect two directors, currently one in Class II and one in Class III, and the holders of Class A and Class C Common Stock (voting together as a single class) are entitled to elect the remaining directors, currently three in Class I, one in Class II, and one in Class III.
Dividends
All common shares participate equally in distributions payable to shareholders when and as declared by our Board of Directors. We have a history of paying quarterly cash dividends to our stockholders and it is our current intention to pay comparable dividends in the future.
Limitation on Directors’ Liability and Indemnification
Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) grants each corporation organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
-12-
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that were actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL grants each corporation organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made pursuant to Section 145(b) of the DGCL in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145(c) of the DGCL provides that to the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 145(a) and (b) of the DGCL, as described in the preceding paragraphs, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against the person in any such capacity, or arising out of the person’s status as such, regardless of whether the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL. We maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy that insures our directors and officers against liabilities incurred in their capacity as such for which they are not otherwise indemnified, subject to certain exclusions.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation, or an amendment thereto, to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders of monetary damages for violations of the directors’ or officers’ fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer, except (i) for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for director liability in the event of unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction from which a director or officer derived an improper personal benefit or (v) any action against an officer by or in the right of the corporation. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits director liability for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
-13-
Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation indemnifies the directors and officers to the full extent of the DGCL and also allows the Board of Directors to indemnify all other employees. Such right of indemnification is not exclusive of any right to which such officer or director may be entitled as a matter of law and shall extend and apply to the heirs, executors and administrators of such persons.
We maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy. The policy insures directors and officers against unindemnified losses arising from certain wrongful acts in their capacities as directors and officers and reimburses us for those losses for which we have lawfully indemnified the directors and officers. The policy contains various exclusions that are normal and customary for policies of this type.
The foregoing summaries are subject to the complete text of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and the DGCL and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.
We believe that our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws and insurance policies are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as directors and officers of the Company.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required or allowed by these indemnification provisions.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions or any other provisions described in this prospectus, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statutes
Certain Delaware law provisions may make it more difficult for someone to acquire us through a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.
Section 203 of the DGCL provides that, subject to certain stated exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is any person (other than the corporation and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary) who owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to the date of determination, and the affiliates and associates of such person. A corporation may not engage in a business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:
| • | prior to such time the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
| • | upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by (i) persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |
| • | at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
-14-
The effect of these provisions may make a change in control of our business more difficult by delaying, deferring or preventing a tender offer or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest. This includes attempts that might result in the payment of a premium to stockholders over the market price for their shares. These provisions also may promote the continuity of our management by making it more difficult for a person to remove or change the incumbent members of the board of directors.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEES OF DEBT SECURITIES
This prospectus describes certain general terms and provisions of our debt securities. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms of the series in a supplement to this prospectus. We will also indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement whether the general terms and provisions described in this prospectus apply to a particular series of debt securities.
The debt securities will be issued under an indenture among us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, or another trustee chosen by us, qualified to act as such under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and appointed in a supplemental indenture with respect to a particular series, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as collateral agent. The indenture is governed by the Trust Indenture Act. We have summarized select portions of the indenture below. This summary is not complete. The indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement and we urge you to read the indenture. Capitalized terms used in the summary have the meaning specified in the indenture.
When we refer to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” and “UHS” in this section, we mean Universal Health Services, Inc. unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise expressly stated.
General
The terms of each series of debt securities will be established by or pursuant to a resolution of our board of directors and set forth or determined in the manner provided in an officers’ certificate or by a supplemental indenture. The particular terms of each series of debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to that series.
Unless otherwise specified in a supplement to this prospectus, the debt securities will be the direct, unsecured obligations of UHS and will rank equally with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. UHS’ payment obligations under any series of debt securities may be guaranteed by one or more co-registrants.
We may issue an unlimited amount of debt securities under the indenture that may be in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a premium or at a discount. We will set forth in a prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities being offered the aggregate principal amount and the following terms of such series of debt securities:
| • | the title of the debt securities, whether the debt securities rank as senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities or subordinated debt securities, or any combination thereof; |
| • | the price or prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at which we will sell the debt securities; |
| • | the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities and any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities; |
| • | the date or dates on which the principal on the debt securities will be payable and the amount of principal that will be payable; |
| • | the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) at which the debt securities will bear interest, if any, as well as the dates from which interest will accrue, the dates on which interest will be payable and the record date for the interest payable on any payment date; |
| • | the form and terms of any guarantee, including the terms of subordination, if any, of the debt securities; |
| • | any depositories, interest rate calculation agents or other agents with respect to the debt securities; |
| • | the right, if any, of holders of the debt securities to convert them into our common stock or other securities, including any provisions intended to prevent dilution of such conversion rights; |
-16-
| • | the place or places where principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities will be payable and where debt securities which are in registered form can be presented for registration of transfer or exchange and the identification of any depositary or depositaries for any global debt securities; |
| • | any provisions regarding our right to redeem, repay or purchase the debt securities or the right of holders to require us to redeem, repay or purchase the debt securities, in whole or in part; |
| • | any provision requiring or permitting us to make payments to a sinking fund to be used to redeem the debt securities or a purchase fund to be used to purchase the debt securities; |
| • | the denominations in which the debt securities will be issued, if other than denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; |
| • | the percentage of the principal amount at which debt securities will be issued and, if other than the full principal amount thereof, the percentage of the principal amount of the debt securities which is payable if maturity of the debt securities is accelerated because of an event of default; |
| • | the currency or currencies in which principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be payable; |
| • | if payments of principal of, premium or interest on the debt securities will be made in one or more currencies other than that or those in which the debt securities are denominated, the manner in which the exchange rate with respect to these payments will be determined; |
| • | the manner in which the amounts of payment of principal of, or premium or interest on the debt securities will be determined, if these amounts may be determined by reference to an index based on a currency or currencies other than that in which the debt securities are denominated or designated to be payable; |
| • | any provisions relating to any collateral provided to secure the debt securities; |
| • | any addition to or change in the events of default with respect to the debt securities and any change in the right of the trustee or the requisite holders of the debt securities to declare the principal amount thereof due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default; |
| • | any addition to, change in or deletion from, the covenants described in this prospectus or in the indenture with respect to the debt securities; |
| • | the trustee, registrar or paying agent for the debt securities, if different than U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association; |
| • | the collateral agent, if any, for the debt securities, if different than JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.; |
| • | if applicable, that the debt securities, in whole or in specific part, shall be defeasible and, if other than by a board resolution, the manner in which any election by the Company to defease such debt securities shall be evidenced; and |
| • | any other material terms of the debt securities, which may modify, supplement or delete any provision of the indenture as it applies to that series; provided, however, that no such term may modify or delete any provision thereof if imposed by the Trust Indenture Act; and provided, further, that any modification or deletion of the rights, duties and immunities of the trustee under the indenture shall have been consented to in writing by the trustee. |
In addition, the indenture does not limit our ability to issue subordinated debt securities. Any subordination provisions of a particular series of debt securities will be set forth in the officers’ certificate or supplemental indenture related to that series of debt securities and will be described in the relevant prospectus supplement.
We will provide you with information on the material United States federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.
-17-
Transfer and Exchange
A holder will be able to transfer or exchange debt securities only in accordance with the indenture. The registrar may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the indenture.
Change of Control
Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we undergo a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) that could adversely affect holders of debt securities.
Covenants
The indenture will contain certain covenants that require us and our subsidiaries to, among other things:
| • | pay or cause to be paid the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the debt securities; |
| • | maintain an office or agency where the debt securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the us and, any guarantors may be served; |
| • | deliver to the trustee copies of the annual reports, information, documents, and other reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and comply with the other provisions Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act; |
| • | pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings or where the failure to affect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the holders; and |
| • | maintain corporate existence. |
In addition, unless provided otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the indenture will contain certain covenants that limit:
| • | our and our subsidiaries’ ability to issue, assume or guarantee indebtedness or obligations secured by mortgages (other than permitted liens) on, or enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to, our principal properties; and |
| • | as described in “—Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” below, our ability to consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets to, another person. |
We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any additional restrictive covenants applicable to any issue of debt securities.
Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets
We may not consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets to another person, which we refer to as a successor person, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series unless:
| • | we are the surviving entity, or the surviving entity is a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability corporation or trust organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof; |
| • | after giving effect to the 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 under the indenture; and |
-18-
| • | certain other conditions are satisfied, including any that may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. |
Events of Default
Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, an event of default with respect to any series of debt securities will be defined in the indenture or applicable supplemental indenture as being:
| • | failure to pay the principal or any premium on any of the debt securities of such series when due; |
| • | failure to pay any interest upon any debt security of such series when due, and that default continues for a period of 30 days; |
| • | failure to perform, or the breach of, any of our other agreements in the indenture with respect to such series, and such default continues for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice by holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture; |
| • | certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company; and |
| • | any other event of default provided with respect to debt securities of that series which is described in the applicable prospectus supplement. |
No event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities.
If an event of default (other than an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us, declare the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the debt securities of such series to be due and payable immediately. In the case of an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities of that series will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities of that series. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind the acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgement or decree, all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities of that series that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture, and all amounts due to the trustee in each of its capacities under the indenture have been paid in full.
The indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of outstanding debt securities, unless the trustee receives indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to certain rights of the trustee and certain other limitations, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to 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 the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series.
-19-
Unless stated otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, no holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:
| • | that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to debt securities of that series; and |
| • | the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of any holder of any debt security to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of payment on or after such respective dates, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.
The indenture requires us, within 90 days after the end of our fiscal year (which fiscal year currently ends December 31 of each year), to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture.
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
We may modify and amend the indenture or any series of debt securities without notice to or the consent of the holders to:
| • | to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company and the assumption by such successor of the covenants of the Company in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture; |
| • | to add to the covenants for the benefit of the holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company under the indenture; |
| • | to add any additional events of default; |
| • | to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the indenture; provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there are no outstanding debt securities of such series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture that are entitled to the benefit of such provision and as to which such supplemental indenture would apply; |
| • | to add a guarantor to the debt securities of such series; |
| • | to supplement any of the provisions of the indenture to such extent necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the debt securities of such series; provided that any such action does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the debt securities of such series in any material respect; |
| • | to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the indenture by a successor trustee or collateral agent and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts by more than one trustee or for the trustee to act as collateral agent; |
| • | to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision of the indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision; |
| • | to conform the text of the indenture, the debt securities of such series, the guarantees or the security documents to any provision of the “Description of the notes” section of the applicable prospectus supplement to the extent that such provision in such “Description of the notes” section was intended to |
-20-
be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the indenture, the debt securities of such series, the guarantees or the security documents; provided that, in each instance, the Company delivers to the trustee an officers’ certificate to such effect; |
| • | to change any place or places where the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities of such series shall be payable, the debt securities of such series may be surrendered for registration or transfer, the debt securities of such series may be surrendered for exchange, and notices and demands to or upon the Company may be served; |
| • | if applicable to such series of debt securities, to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant any other lien in favor of the collateral agent for the benefit of the trustee and the holders of the debt securities of such series, as additional security for the payment and performance of all or any portion of the obligations under the indenture, in any property or assets, including any which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated, or in which a lien is required to be granted in favor of the collateral agent for the benefit of the trustee and the holders of the debt securities of such series pursuant to the indenture, any of the security documents or otherwise; |
| • | if applicable to such series of debt securities, to release collateral from the lien of the indenture and the security documents when permitted or required by the security documents or the indenture; |
| • | if applicable to such series of debt securities, to add additional first lien secured parties to any security documents in accordance with such security documents; |
| • | comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with any required qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or |
| • | to establish additional series of Notes as permitted by the indenture. |
Subject to certain exceptions, we may amend the indenture or any series with the consent (which may include consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for that series of securities) of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the series of the securities then outstanding, and any existing default under, or compliance with any provision of, the indenture may be waived (other than any continuing default in the payment of the principal of or interest on the securities) with the consent (which may include consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for that series of securities) of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the securities of that series then outstanding; provided that without the consent of each holder affected, we may not:
| • | change the stated maturity of the principal of, or installment of interest, if any, on, such debt securities of such series, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the interest thereon or any premium payable upon redemption thereof; |
| • | change the currency in which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities of such series are denominated or payable; |
| • | waive a default or event of default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities of such series (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of such series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of such series with respect to a nonpayment default and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); |
| • | reduce the premium payable upon the redemption or repurchase of any debt securities of such series or change the time at which any debt securities of such series may be redeemed or repurchased, whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise; |
| • | impair the right of any holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such holder’s debt securities of such series on or after the due dates therefor or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the stated maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date); |
-21-
| • | modify the provisions that require holder consent to modify or amend the indenture or that permit holders to waive compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or certain defaults; |
| • | make any change to or modify the ranking of such debt securities of such series or, if applicable to the debt securities of such series, the ranking of the liens with respect to such debt securities of such series that would adversely affect the holders; or |
| • | except as expressly permitted by the indenture, modify the guarantees of any guarantor in any manner adverse to the holders of the debt securities of such series. |
If applicable to the debt securities of such series, without the consent of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series then outstanding, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not modify any security document or the provisions of the indenture dealing with the security documents or application of trust moneys, or otherwise release any collateral, in any manner materially adverse to the holders of the debt securities other than in accordance with the indenture and the security documents.
Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a continuing default in the payment of the principal of or any interest on any debt security of that series or in respect of a covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the series affected; provided, however, that, subject to certain limitations, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.
Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
Legal Defeasance. The indenture provides that, if so provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (except for certain obligations, including obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of such series, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of such series, and to maintain paying agencies and certain provisions relating to the treatment of funds held by paying agents and the rights, duties, indemnities and immunities of and obligations to the trustee). We will be so discharged upon the deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or non-callable U.S. government obligations, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay the principal, premium and interest on the debt securities of that series on the stated date of payment thereof or the applicable redemption date, as the case may be.
This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the applicable issue date, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.
Defeasance of Certain Covenants. The indenture provides that, if so provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:
| • | we may omit to comply with certain covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and |
-22-
| • | any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to the debt securities of that series, or covenant defeasance. |
The conditions include:
| • | irrevocably depositing with the trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders, money and/or non-callable U.S. government obligations that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay the principal, premium and interest on the outstanding debt securities of that series on the stated date of payment thereof or the applicable redemption date, as the case may be; and |
| • | delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the beneficial owners of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred. |
Guarantees
Our payment obligations under any series of debt securities may be guaranteed by one or more of the co-registrants. The terms of any such guarantee will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Collateral and Security
Our payment obligations under any series of debt securities may be secured by assets of UHS or one or more of the co-registrants. The terms of any such security interest will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Global Securities
Some or all of the debt securities of any series may be represented, in whole or in part, by one or more global securities, which will have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of the debt securities they represent. We will register each global security in the name of a depositary or nominee identified in a prospectus supplement and deposit the global security with the depositary or nominee. Each global security will bear a legend regarding the restrictions on exchanges and registration of transfer referred to below and other matters specified in the indenture or supplemental indenture.
No global security may be exchanged for debt securities registered, and no transfer of a global security may be registered, in the name of any person other than the depositary for the global security or any nominee of the depositary, unless:
| • | the depositary has notified us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the global security or has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act; |
| • | we execute and deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate to the effect that the global security shall be so exchangeable; or |
| • | any other circumstances exist that may be described in the indenture or supplemental indenture and prospectus supplement. |
We will register all securities issued in exchange for a global security or any portion of a global security in the names specified by the depositary.
As long as the depositary or its nominee is the registered holder of a global security, the depositary or nominee will be considered the sole owner and holder of the global security and the debt securities that it
-23-
represents. Except in the limited circumstances referred to above, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not:
| • | be entitled to have the global security or debt securities registered in their names; |
| • | receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated debt securities in exchange for a global security; and |
| • | be considered to be the owners or holders of the global security or any debt securities for any purpose under the Indenture. |
We will make all payments of principal, premium, and interest on a global security to the depositary or its nominee.
The indenture will authorize the Company, the trustee and the paying agent to act in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or such other depositary for the debt securities. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to institutions that have accounts with the depositary or its nominee, referred to as “participants,” and to persons that may hold beneficial interests through participants. In connection with the issuance of any global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of debt securities represented by the global security to the accounts of its participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will only be shown on records maintained by the depositary or the participant. Likewise, the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through the same records. Payments, transfers, exchanges, and other matters relating to beneficial interests in a global security may be subject to various policies and procedures adopted by the depositary from time to time. Neither we, the trustee, nor any of our agents will have responsibility or liability for any aspect of the depositary’s or any participant’s records relating to, or for payments made on account of, beneficial interests in a global security, or for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial interests.
Concerning the Trustee
In the ordinary course of its business, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, the trustee, may in the future provide, investment banking, commercial lending, financial advisory and other services for us. The indenture contains, or will contain, limitations on the right of the trustee, should it become our creditor, to obtain payment of claims in specified cases or to realize on property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The indenture permits, or will permit, the trustee to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.
The indenture provides, or will provide, that in case an event of default occurs and is not cured, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of skill and care of a prudent person under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. The trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power under the indenture, unless it receives indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.
Governing Law
The laws of the State of New York govern, or will govern, the indenture, the debt securities and the guarantees of debt securities.

We may sell our securities to or through one or more underwriters or dealers, and also may sell our securities directly to other purchasers or through agents. These firms may also act as our agents in the sale of our securities. Only underwriters named in the applicable prospectus supplement will be considered as underwriters of our securities offered by such prospectus supplement. We may distribute our securities at different times in one or more transactions. We may sell our securities at fixed prices, which may change, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
In connection with the sale of our securities, underwriters may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of our securities in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of our securities may be deemed to be underwriters. Discounts or commissions they receive and any profit on their resale of our securities may be considered underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We will identify any such underwriter or agent, and we will describe any such compensation, together with the terms of the offering of securities, in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We may agree to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of our securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We may also agree to contribute to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. We may authorize dealers or other persons who act as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase our securities from us under contracts which provide for payment and delivery on a future date. We may enter into these contracts with commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others. If we enter into these agreements concerning any class or series of our securities, we will indicate that in the applicable prospectus supplement.
In connection with an offering of our securities, underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our securities. Specifically, underwriters may over–allot in connection with the offering, creating a syndicate short position in our securities for their own account. In addition, underwriters may bid for, and purchase, our securities in the open market to cover short positions or to stabilize the price of our securities.
Finally, underwriters may reclaim selling concessions allowed for distributing our securities in the offering if the underwriters repurchase previously distributed securities in transactions to cover short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our securities above independent market levels. Underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities and may end any of these activities at any time. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

The section does not, however, authorize a corporation to eliminate or limit the liability of a director for appropriating, in violation of his or her duties, any business opportunity of the corporation, for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for any transaction from which the director received an improper personal benefit, or authorizing a dividend, stock repurchase or redemption, distribution of assets or other distribution in violation of Section 14-2-640 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code if it is established that the

Under the LBCA, a corporation may also advance expenses to the indemnitee provided that the indemnitee delivers (1) a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that the relevant standard of conduct has been met or that the proceeding involves conduct for which liability has been eliminated and (2) a written undertaking to repay any funds advanced if (i) the indemnitee is not entitled to mandatory indemnification by virtue of being wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any such proceeding and (ii) it is ultimately determined that the indemnitee has not met the relevant standard of conduct. In addition, a corporation has the power to obtain and maintain insurance with respect to any person who is or was acting on its behalf, regardless of whether a corporation has the legal authority to indemnify, or advance expenses to, the insured person with respect to such liability.
Under the LBCA, a corporation must indemnify any present or former director or officer of a corporation for expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if such person was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding, that he was a party to by virtue of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation.

In either case, however, to be entitled to indemnification, the person to be indemnified must have acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the limited liability company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Section 86.461 of the NRS permits a limited liability company to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of the limited liability company’s managers or members for any liability and expenses incurred by them in their capacities as managers or members or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the limited liability company has the authority to indemnify him, her or them against such liability and expenses.

The Tennessee Business Corporation Act (“TBCA”) sets forth in Sections 48-18-501 through 48-18-509 the circumstances governing the indemnification of directors and officers of a corporation against liability incurred in the course of their official capacities. Section 48-18-502 of the TBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify any director against liability incurred in connection with a proceeding if (i) the director acted in good faith, (ii) the director reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity with the corporation, that such conduct was in the corporation’s best interest, or, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (iii) in connection with any
II-21
criminal proceeding, the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, however, the TBCA provides that no indemnification may be made if the director or officer is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Similarly, the TBCA prohibits indemnification in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to a director, if such director is adjudged liable on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received.
In cases where the director is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding instigated because of his or her status as a director of a corporation, Section 48-18-503 of the TBCA mandates that a corporation indemnify the director against reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding unless limited by its charter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 48-18-505 of the TBCA provides that a court of competent jurisdiction, upon application, may order that a director or officer be indemnified for reasonable expense if, in consideration of all relevant circumstances, the court determines that such individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, whether or not the standard of conduct set forth above was met. Officers who are not directors are entitled, through the provisions of Section 48-18-507 of the TBCA, to the same indemnification afforded to directors under Sections 48-18-503 and 48-18-505. Corporations are permitted to indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or expert who is not a director to the extent, consistent with public policy, that may be provided in its charter, bylaws, action by its board, or contract.
Under certain circumstances, a corporation may also advance expenses to a director or officer. Section 48-18-508 of the TBCA also permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of certain person against liability asserted against or incurred by the individual acting in their official capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against the same liability under applicable law.
The articles of incorporation of Brentwood Acquisition, Inc., Children’s Comprehensive Services, Inc., Oak Plains Academy of Tennessee, Inc., Park Healthcare Company, Psychiatric Solutions of Virginia, Inc. and United Healthcare of Hardin, Inc. do not provide for indemnification of directors and officers. The charters of North Spring Behavioral Healthcare, Inc., BHC Alhambra Hospital, Inc., BHC Belmont Pines Hospital, Inc., BHC Fairfax Hospital, Inc., BHC Fox Run Hospital, Inc., BHC Fremont Hospital, Inc., BHC Heritage Oaks Hospital, Inc., BHC Intermountain Hospital, Inc., BHC Pinnacle Pointe Hospital, Inc., BHC Sierra Vista Hospital, Inc., BHC Streamwood Hospital, Inc. and Southeastern Hospital Corporation provide that each Tennessee Corporation shall indemnify against liability, and advance expenses to, any present or former director or officer of such corporation to the fullest extent allowed by law, except that such corporation shall not indemnify or advance expenses to any director or officer (1) in any proceeding by the corporation against the person; or (2) if the director or officer did not act in good faith.

The Tennessee Revised Limited Liability Company Act (“TLLCA”) sets forth in Sections 48-249-115(b) through 48-249-115(i) the circumstances governing the indemnification of directors, members, managers, officers, employees and agents of an LLC against liability incurred in the course of their official capacities. Section 48-249-115(b) of the TLLCA provides that an LLC may indemnify any director (for a director-managed LLC), manager (for a manager-managed LLC), or member (for a member-managed LLC) (including when such person is serving at the LLC’s request as a director, manager, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of
II-22
another entity) (each, a “responsible person”) against liability incurred in connection with a proceeding if (i) the person acted in good faith, (ii) the person reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity with the LLC, that such conduct was in the LLC’s best interest, or, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the LLC and (iii) in connection with any criminal proceeding, the responsible person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
In actions brought by or in the right of the LLC, however, the TLLCA provides that no indemnification may be made if the person is adjudged to be liable to the LLC. Similarly, the TLLCA prohibits indemnification in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to a responsible person, if such responsible person is adjudged liable on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received.
In cases where the responsible person is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding instigated because of his or her status as a responsible person, Section 48-249-115(c) of the TLLCA mandates that the LLC indemnify the responsible person against reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 48-249-115(e) of the TLLCA provides that a court of competent jurisdiction, upon application, may order that a responsible person be indemnified for reasonable expense if, in consideration of all relevant circumstances, the court determines that such individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, whether or not the standard of conduct set forth above was met. Officers who are not responsible persons are entitled, through the provisions of Section 48-249-115(g) of the TLLCA. to the same degree of indemnification afforded to responsible persons under Section 48-249-115. LLC’s are permitted to indemnify and advance expenses to officers, employees, independent contractors or agents who are not responsible persons to the same extent as responsible persons.
Under certain circumstances, an LLC may also advance expenses to a responsible person. Section 48-249-115(h) of the TLLCA also permits an LLC to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a responsible person and certain other persons against liability asserted against or incurred by such person acting in that capacity, or arising from such person’s status with the LLC, whether or not the LLC would have the power to indemnify the person against the liability under applicable law.

A person may be indemnified within the above limitations against judgment and expenses that are reasonable and actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding; however, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred in a proceeding in which the person is found liable to the corporation or is found to have improperly received a personal benefit and shall not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the person shall have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation, breach of the person’s duty of loyalty owed to the corporation or an act or omission not committed in good faith that constitutes a breach of a duty owed by the person to the corporation. Indemnification pursuant to Section 8.101 of the TBOC can be made by the corporation only upon a determination made in the manner prescribed by Section 8.103 of the TBOC that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the party seeking indemnification has met the applicable standard of conduct for such indemnification.

II-28
| * | Filed herewith. |
| ** | To be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K or other document incorporated by reference herein or to a post-effective amendment hereto, if applicable. |
| Item 17. | Undertakings. |
Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events 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
II-29
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission 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, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
II-30
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Universal Health Services, Inc.’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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.
(7) To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
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 as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
