2.2 Personal Property. All equipment, fixtures,
furnishings, tools, replacement parts and any other supplies or
personal property (excluding any medical records, medical equipment or
medical fixtures that, with Granite's permission, can be removed by
Seller prior to the Closing, as hereinafter defined), on the Real
Property (the "Personal Property"). During the Due Diligence Period,
Seller and granite agree to meet on the Real Property and to agree

1
prior to Closing, in Granite's reasonable discretion.
2.3 Contracts and Permits. All licenses,
permits, contracts and agreements pertaining solely to or reasonably
necessary to the use, operation or ownership of the Real Property and
Personal Property, to the extent assignable and acceptable to Granite
(the "Contracts and Permits").
3. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for the Property
shall be Fifteen Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($15,250,000.00), the "Purchase Price", which shall be paid at the Closing (as
hereafter defined) in cash or certified funds, in U.S. dollars.
4. ESCROW AGREEMENT AND XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSITS. Seller
and Granite, concurrently herewith, have executed an Escrow Agreement dated as
of December 15, 2003, along with Xxxxxxx Title Company, having an address of
0000 Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000 ("Escrow Agent"), a copy
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" (the "Escrow Agreement"). Pursuant to
this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, Granite shall, concurrently herewith,
pay One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000.00) into escrow as an
xxxxxxx money deposit (the "Initial Deposit") for the purchase of the Property.
In addition, unless Granite shall have terminated this Agreement on or before
the Due Diligence Deadline pursuant to Section 10.4, Granite shall deposit an
additional One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000.00) (the
"Additional Deposit") with the Escrow Agent within ten (10) days following the

Price.
5. SPECIAL WARRANTY DEED. The Property shall be conveyed

Property will be conveyed to Granite with the following restriction set
forth in the Deed (the "Deed Restriction"):
For a period of twenty (20) years after the date of
this Deed, no part of the Property shall be used to
provide any inpatient hospital, commercial
laboratory, x-ray, radiological "imaging",
radiographic service, outpatient surgical facility,
or any other medical or related service. If and to
the extent that this restriction is or must be
dependent upon the existence of other property
benefited by the restriction, this restriction is
intended to benefit the existing hospital properties
of Iasis Healthcare Corporation (the parent
corporation of Seller) and its affiliates in the Salt
Lake City, Utah metropolitan area, as well as any
other real property in the Salt Lake City, Utah,
metropolitan area hereafter acquired by Seller and
its affiliates for
2
medical purposes. This restriction shall not apply to
nor preclude any use of the Property by Granite, or
its successors or assigns, for educational purposes
(including medical education other than education of
persons training to become medical doctors).
6. 1031 EXCHANGE. Granite understands that Seller may
intend to have some or all of the Purchase Price used for a tax-deferred
exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
"Code"), and the parties agree to execute such additional documents necessary to
accommodate such exchange, so long as it does not delay the Closing (as defined
below) or result in cost or expense to Granite. For any property so exchanged,
Seller intends to hold such exchange parcel for productive use in a trade or
business or for investment according to the Code.

are subject to approval or disapproval by Granite prior to the Due
Diligence Deadline (as defined below). If Granite objects to any
exception contained in the Commitment that Seller is unwilling or
unable to remove by or on the Closing Date, Granite may, at its option,
terminate this Agreement and recover the Deposit as Granite's sole
remedy, or may proceed to close without reduction in the Purchase Price
except for reductions in an aggregate amount not exceeding $100,000
that are necessary to remove liens securing liquidated sums.

SET FORTH IN SECTION 16 HEREOF, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, RELATING
TO THE PROPERTY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, OR RELATING TO THE CONDITION OF

4
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PURPOSES IN RESPECT OF THE

operation of condition of the Property or any portion thereof, or
suitability of the Property or any portion thereof for Purchaser's
purpose, or fitness for any use or purpose whatsoever.
10. DUE DILIGENCE.
10.1 Due Diligence Deadline. Granite shall have
30 days from the date of execution of this Agreement by all parties
(the "Due Diligence Deadline") to complete its review of and to approve
or disapprove of the Seller Disclosures, and to conduct and complete
all inspections, geological and geotechnical investigations, including
but not limited to landscaping, utilities, water, zoning and

reasonable access to enter upon the Property, sufficient to complete
all Due Diligence. The parties further agree that such access will not
be without notice to Seller at least 12 hours before the proposed

10.3 Objection. In the event Granite has any
objections to the Commitment or the Seller Disclosures, it shall
communicate such objections to Seller in writing on or before ten (10)
days prior to the Due Diligence Deadline. The failure to timely notify
Seller in writing of any such objections shall constitute a waiver
thereof. In the event of such timely objections, Seller shall have
until 5:00 p.m. on the day before the Due Diligence Deadline to resolve
such objections to the reasonable satisfaction of
5
Granite, the failure to do so resulting in, at the option of Granite
either (a) a waiver of such objection, or (b) a termination of this
Agreement and the return of the Deposit, together with all accrued
interest thereon to Granite.
10.4 Termination. Granite shall have the right to
give Seller written notification on or before the Due Diligence
Deadline that it has determined, in light of any Due Diligence and in
its sole discretion, not to purchase the Property, and that Granite is
terminating this Agreement. If on or before the Due Diligence Deadline,
such written notice of termination is given by Granite, then this
Agreement shall be terminated and each party shall have no further
obligation to the other party (except as provided in Section 10.2 of
this Agreement), and the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to
Granite. After the Due Diligence Deadline, including any extensions
thereof, neither party shall have any right to terminate this
Agreement, and the Deposit shall be nonrefundable.
10.5 Environmental Matters. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement that may be to the contrary, Granite has
previously obtained such reports and conducted such investigations as
it will require with respect to the presence or absence of hazardous
materials in or on the Property and compliance by the Property with
applicable environmental laws and regulations, and Granite acknowledges
and agrees that it will conduct no further investigations as to such
matters prior to the Closing.
11. LEASES. If Seller is the lessor or lessee under any
leases pertaining to said Property or any part thereof, Granite, at its sole
election, shall have the right to assume all rights and obligations under any
such leases as of Closing. To the extent any such lease pertains to any other
property owned or operated by Seller, said lease shall remain in full force and
effect, with the amount of rent thereunder to be pro-rated according to the
actual acreage subject to said lease after Closing.
12. GRANITE LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY. Granite hereby
agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its employees,
representatives, trustees, agents, successors and assigns, from and against any
liabilities, claims, losses, liens, demands, costs, expenses and causes of
action of any kind or character whatsoever resulting from, relating to, arising
out of, or incurred in connection with acts or omissions of Granite with respect
to the Property, or any part thereof, which occur subsequent to the Closing or
during the course of any Due Diligence conducted by or on behalf of Granite, to

16.1 Authority. Subject to receipt of the
approval and authorization described in Section 14.7(a), Seller has
full capacity, right, power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform under this Agreement and all documents to be executed pursuant
hereto. Seller has not alienated, encumbered, transferred, leased,
assigned or otherwise conveyed its interest in the Property or any
portion thereof, except as set forth in the Commitment, nor entered
into any agreement to do so, nor shall Seller do so prior to Closing.
There is no consent required from any third party (other than its
lenders) before the Property may be conveyed to Granite.
16.2 The Property. Seller has good, valid and
marketable title to all of the Property. Subject to the Permitted
Exceptions, all of the Property is held, and at the Closing will be
held, free and clear of all title defects and all liens, pledges,
claims, charges, rights of first refusal, security interests or other
encumbrances and is not subject to any rights of way, building or use

nature whatsoever. Seller has not received any written notice of any
material violation of any zoning or other law, ordinance or regulation
with respect to any of the Property or the use of the Property.
16.3 No Conflict. The consummation of the terms
of this Agreement shall not result in or constitute a material
violation or breach of any agreement, covenant or obligation to which
Seller is a party or which may bind or affect any of the Property.
16.4 Liabilities. There are no liabilities of
Seller pertaining to the Property (whether liquidated or unliquidated,
absolute, contingent, accrued or otherwise) except those which will be
paid by Seller in full immediately on or before Closing.
16.5 No Claims. There is no material suit, claim
in writing, action or proceeding now pending against Seller involving
the Property, or any part thereof, before any court, administrative or
regulatory body, or any governmental agency and there is no material
suit, claim in writing, action or proceeding threatened against Seller,
or any of the Property. There are no outstanding orders, rulings,
decrees, judgments or stipulations to which Seller is a party or by
which the Property is bound by any court, arbitration or administrative
agency materially and adversely affecting the Property. There are no
mechanic's or materialman's liens or similar claims or liens now
asserted against the Property for work performed or commenced prior to
the date hereof other than as described in the Commitment, and Seller
shall timely satisfy and discharge any and all obligations relating to
work performed on or conducted at or materials delivered to the
