PURCHASER COVENANTS
10.01. Pre-Closing Date. Purchaser covenants that between the
date hereof and the Closing Date,
except as contemplated by this Agreement or with the consent of
Seller, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed:
(a) Within ten (10) days after the date of this Agreement advise Seller
of its objections to any UCC Search Reports, title report or title insurance
commitment and/or survey of the Hospital Real Property and the Hospital which
Purchaser may elect to obtain; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not have
the right to object to any of the Permitted Exceptions. If Seller refuses to
correct some or all of the title, survey or lien defects objected to by
Purchaser within the time period reflected in Paragraph 9.01(o) or to give
Purchaser reasonable assurances that the same will be corrected as of the
Closing Date, Purchaser shall have ten (10) days to advise Seller of its
decision to close, notwithstanding the defects, or of its election to terminate
this Agreement, in which case neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder. If Purchaser does not give notice of termination within
this ten (10) day period, it will be deemed to have waived its objections and to
have accepted such title, survey or lien defects.
(b) Purchaser will proceed with all due diligence to obtain
the Third Party Consents and
Regulatory Approvals for which it is responsible under the terms hereof; and
(c) Unless specifically prohibited by law, Purchaser will use its best
efforts to cause all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Paragraphs 12.01

Closing Date and Purchaser will not take any action inconsistent with its
obligations under this Agreement or which could hinder or delay the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
10.02. Closing Date. On the Closing Date, Purchaser will deliver to
the Escrow Agent (unless Seller
and Purchaser agree in writing in the Escrow Instructions to handle the same
outside of escrow) the following:
(a) A certificate of a responsible officer of Purchaser dated as of the
Closing Date certifying on behalf of Purchaser in such detail as Seller may
reasonably specify the fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Paragraphs
12.01 (a) and (b) and setting forth the incumbency of the officers executing
documents on behalf of Purchaser, a copy of the resolutions adopted by
Purchaser's Board of Directors authorizing the transaction provided for herein
and the execution of this Purchase Agreement and the other documents
contemplated herein and attaching a certificate of good standing issued by the
California Secretary of State within no more than thirty (30) days prior to
Closing;
(b) The cash due at Closing pursuant to Paragraph 2.01;
(c) Duly executed Escrow Closing Instructions;
(d) An opinion of the General Counsel of Regency in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to
Seller; and
(e) The duly executed Hospital Lease Assignment Agreement.
10.03. Post-Closing. After the Closing Date, Purchaser will:
(a) Provide Seller with access during normal business hours to any
books or records which Seller may need to file or to defend tax returns or other
filings filed prior to or subsequent to the Closing Date which relate to the
period prior to the Closing Date or which Seller may require for any other
lawful purpose other than litigation commenced by Seller against Purchaser under
the terms of this Agreement and maintain all such books and records for a period
of one year after the Closing Date, at which time Purchaser shall give Seller
notice of Seller's right to remove such books and records from the Hospital.
Seller shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to
advise Purchaser whether it intends to exercise its removal right and, in the
event Seller elects to do so, Seller shall have a period of thirty (30) days
thereafter in which to arrange, at its sole cost and expense, for the removal of
any or of such books and records from the Hospital, subject to Purchaser's right
to retain copies of any or all of such removed books and records.
(b) Take such actions and properly execute and deliver such further
instruments as Seller may reasonably request to assure, complete and evidence
the transaction provided for in this Agreement.
(c) Fulfill any obligations which it may have under this Agreement
which survive Closing in accordance with the terms thereof or which, by
agreement of the parties, have not been fully performed as of the Closing Date
and the performance of which, by written agreement of the parties, has been
extended until after the Closing Date.
(d) To provide such notice as may be required after Closing to each
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Hospital, the consent of which
was not required as a condition to Closing but notice to which is required or
recommended after Closing.
ARTICLE XI
MUTUAL COVENANTS
11.01. General Covenants. Following the execution of this Agreement,
Seller and Purchaser agree:

the obligations of any party hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, to use its or their reasonable efforts to cure the same as
expeditiously as possible;

party contained herein; and
(e) To promptly provide the other (or its counsel) with copies of all
other filings made by such party with any state or federal governmental entity
in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) Purchaser and Seller agree to file, and to cause any other person
obligated to do so as a result of its shareholdings or other ownership interests
in Seller, with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of
Justice and the Federal Trade Commission a Notification and Report Form in
accordance with the notification requirements of the HSR Act and to use its and
their best efforts to achieve the prompt termination or expiration of the
waiting period or any extension thereof provided for under the HSR Act as a
prerequisite to the consummation of the transactions provided for herein.
(b) Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Seller to (i) sell
or otherwise dispose of any of the Seller Assets which are the subject of this
Agreement or the Other Agreements which either alone or in the aggregate, with
all such other sales or dispositions, would constitute the sale or disposition
of a "significant subsidiary" (as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X of the
rules and regulations of the Commission), (ii) take any action, the consummation
of which cannot be conditioned on the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, where such action would have a material adverse
effect on Seller or (iii) take any action which either would have a material
adverse effect on the operations, business or financial condition of Seller or
would materially impair the value of the transaction contemplated herein to
Seller or Purchaser.
(c) Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Purchaser to (i)
sell or otherwise dispose of any of its assets which either alone or in the
aggregate, with all such other sales or dispositions, would constitute the sale
or disposition of a "significant subsidiary," (ii) take any action, the
consummation of which cannot be conditioned on the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, where such action would have a
material adverse effect on Purchase or (iii) take any action which either would
have a material adverse effect on the operations, business or financial
condition of Purchaser or would materially impair the value of the transaction
contemplated herein to Seller or Purchaser.

Seller will use its best efforts to obtain prior to the Closing Date all
consents, approvals and licenses necessary to permit the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Other Agreements, including,
but not limited to, such licensure and certification approval in the State of
California as may be necessary to enable Purchaser to lawfully own and/or lease
the Hospital from and after the Closing Date (the "Regulatory Approvals"), and
the consent of its lenders, lessors and other third parties to the extent
required under any loan documents, lease agreements, management agreements or
other instruments to which it is a party (the "Third Party Consents"), provided,
however, that the consent of the holders of the bonds issued by Purchaser's
parent corporation under that Indenture dated as of June 28, 1996 in the
original principal amount of $50,000,000 and that Indenture dated as of October
12, 1995 in the original principal amount of $110,000,000 shall not be deemed to
be a required Third Party Consent, it being understood and agreed that Purchaser
has represented that the transaction as contemplated herein will not require the
consent of such bondholders.

other prior to the issuance by
either party of any press release or any written statement with respect to this

understood and agreed that in the event of such an assignment, the only right

15.03 Sole Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in
any respect whatsoever except by instrument in writing signed by the parties
hereto. This Agreement, the Disclosure Letter of each of Seller and Purchaser

this Agreement be determined to be
invalid, unlawful or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
15.07. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one
and the same instrument.
15.08 Knowledge Defined. To the extent that any of the representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement are limited by the phrases "to the
knowledge of" or "Purchaser has no knowledge of" or "Seller has no knowledge of"
or words or phrases of similar import, the same shall mean to the actual
knowledge of any of the corporate officers or directors of the party or its
subsidiaries making said representation or warranty after due and diligent
inquiry with respect thereto. To the extent that any of the representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement refer to verbal notice to a party such
notice shall be deemed to have been received if delivered to any officer of such
party or to an officer of one of its subsidiaries.
15.09. Expenses. Each party shall bear its own costs and
expenses (including legal fees and
expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions

any person (other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted
assigns) any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, including
without limitation, any right to enforce this Agreement.
15.11. Attorneys' Fees. In the event of a dispute between the parties
hereto with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of the terms hereof,
the prevailing party in any action resulting therefrom shall be entitled to

negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall
arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of
the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state or local
statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word
"including" shall mean "including without limitation." The period covered by the
phrase "from and after the Closing Date" shall include the Closing Date.
15.13. Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants or
conditions set forth herein shall survive the Closing for a period of two years
after the Closing, other than the representation set forth in Paragraphs 6.12
and 6.13, which shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations;
provided, however, that in the event that, at anytime during that two year
period, any claim is made for a breach thereof, the same shall survive until a
final non-appealable resolution thereof. Nothing in this Paragraph 15.13 shall
be construed to limit the indemnity obligations of Seller and Purchaser under
Paragraph 14.01 which shall survive for as long as the matters to which they
relate survive by the terms of this Agreement or, if no such limitation is
provided for herein, which shall survive until the expiration of the applicable
statute of limitations with respect to the matters to which they relate.

(b) Presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and
notice of protest, and all other notices whatsoever, including, without
limitation, notice of any event or matter described in the first

Seller with respect to any notice required to be provided by Purchaser
under the terms of the Agreement;
(c) Any and all claims or defenses based upon lack of
diligence in:
(i) collection of any amount, the payment of which is

Seller in bankruptcy or the rejection
of the Agreement by Seller or by a trustee in bankruptcy;
(d) Any and all defenses of suretyship; and
(e) Any defense based on the lack of consideration for this
Guaranty.
Nothing herein shall be construed, however, as a waiver by Horizon of
any of the defenses available to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement to the
extent Horizon is lawfully entitled to raise the same as a defense to its
obligations hereunder.
No delay or omission on the part of Purchaser in the exercise of any
right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. All remedies of
Purchaser hereunder shall be in addition to, and exercisable consecutively or
concurrently in any combination with, any and all remedies available to
Purchaser by operation of law or under the Agreement, and Purchaser may exercise
its remedies hereunder without the necessity of any notice to Seller or Horizon
of nonpayment, nonobservance, nonperformance or other default by Seller under
the Agreement other than such notice as may be specifically required by the
terms of the Agreement prior to the exercising of such right or remedy.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, in the
event of the enforcement of this Guaranty by Purchaser, Purchaser shall be
entitled to collect from Horizon, Purchaser's costs of collection, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.
Horizon shall not be subrogated to any of the rights of Purchaser by
reason of any of the provisions of this Guaranty or by reason of the performance
by Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder and Horizon shall look solely
to Seller for recoupment of any costs or expenses incurred by Horizon in
performing its obligations hereunder.
For so long as any of the obligations which are the subject of this
Guaranty remain outstanding Horizon shall, upon request, provide Purchaser with
its quarterly and annual financial statements as soon as the same are available
and with any other financial statements as may be reasonably requested by
Purchaser.
This Guaranty shall not be assignable by Horizon but shall be binding
upon the successors of Horizon. This Guaranty shall be assignable by Purchaser
in connection with a permitted assignment of the Agreement and shall inure to
the benefit of its successors and assigns.
If any term, restriction or covenant of this Guaranty is deemed illegal
or unenforceable, all other terms, restrictions and circumstances subject hereto
shall remain unaffected to the extent permitted by law; and if any application
of any term, restriction or covenant to any person or circumstances is deemed
illegal, the application of such term, restriction or covenant to other persons
and circumstances shall remain unaffected to the extent permitted by law.

to enforce any rights it has under the Agreement or this Guaranty.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties of Purchaser
will not survive beyond the periods applicable thereto set forth in Paragraph

Purchaser in bankruptcy or the
rejection of the Agreement by Purchaser or by a trustee in

Nothing herein shall be construed, however, as a waiver by Regency of
any of the defenses available to the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement to
the extent Regency is lawfully entitled to raise the same as a defense to its
obligations hereunder.
No delay or omission on the part of Seller in the exercise of any right
or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. All remedies of Seller
hereunder shall be in addition to, and exercisable consecutively or concurrently
in any combination with, any and all remedies available to Seller by operation
of law or under the Agreement, and Seller may exercise its remedies hereunder
without the necessity of any notice to Purchaser or Regency of nonpayment,
nonobservance, nonperformance or other default by Purchaser under the Agreement
other than such notice as may be specifically required by the terms of the
Agreement prior to the exercising of such right or remedy.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, in the
event of the enforcement of this Guaranty by Seller, Seller shall be entitled to
collect from Regency, Seller's costs of collection, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.
Regency shall not be subrogated to any of the rights of Seller by
reason of any of the provisions of this Guaranty or by reason of the performance
by Regency of any of its obligations hereunder and Regency shall look solely to

performing its obligations hereunder.
For so long as any of the obligations which are the subject of this
Guaranty remain outstanding Regency shall, upon request, provide Seller with its
