Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August, 31, 2007, Universal Health Services, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an accounts receivable securitization (the “Receivables Facility”) with a group of conduit lenders and liquidity banks, and with Wachovia Bank, National Association as administrative agent. Pursuant to Receivables Sale Agreements dated August 31, 2007 (the “RSAs”), between 17 of the Company’s hospital subsidiaries (the “Originators”) and 17 special purpose entities that are wholly-owned by the respective Originators (the “LLCs”), the Originators will sell or contribute existing and future private accounts receivable and participation interests in government accounts (collectively, the “Receivables”) and certain other assets to the LLCs in exchange for cash, subordinated notes and/or equity. The Originators and the LLCs intend the transactions contemplated by the RSAs to be true sales or absolute contributions to the LLCs by the respective Originators. Pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, dated August 31, 2007 (the “CSA”), the LLCs will in turn grant undivided security interests in their respective accounts receivable in exchange for borrowings of up to $200 million outstanding from time to time. Borrowings will be funded by either (i) the issuance of asset backed commercial paper by the conduit lenders or (ii) drawing under the committed liquidity facility provided by the liquidity banks. Unless earlier terminated or subsequently extended pursuant to the terms of the CSA, the Receivables Facility will expire on August 31, 2010.

The CSA is among the Company, the LLCs, UHS Receivables Corp., UHS of Delaware, Variable Funding Capital Company LLC (“VFCC”), Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia”), in its capacity as liquidity provider to VFCC, Three Pillars Funding LLC (“TPF”), SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”), in its capacity as liquidity provider to TPF and the liquidity banks from time to time party thereto. UHS Receivables Corp. and UHS of Delaware, Inc., each subsidiaries of the Company, serve as the collection agent (the “Collection Agent”) and the initial servicer (the “Servicer”), respectively.

Pursuant to the Performance Undertakings dated August 31, 2007, by the Company in favor of each of the LLCs, the Company will guarantee the performance by the Originators of their obligations under the RSAs and the performance by the Collection Agent and the Servicer. The Company does not guarantee the collection of any of the Receivables, and the Company is not responsible for any guaranteed obligations to the extent the failure to perform such guaranteed obligations by any of the Originators, the Collection Agent or the Servicer results from Receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor

SunTrust and Wachovia currently act as co-documentation agents under our $800 million unsecured non-amortizing revolving credit facility, dated as of March 4, 2005 and amended as of July 28, 2006 and April 13, 2007. Affiliates of SunTrust and Wachovia acted as senior co-managers in the public offering of the Company’s 7.125% Notes due 2016 that was completed on June 30, 2006.
