City by the Mayor of the City and approved by the Borrower by its Senior Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer (or such other officer as is acceptable to the Representative) in
substantially the same form of the Preliminary Official Statement, with only such changes
therein as shall have been approved by the City, the Borrower and the Representative (the
delivery of the Official Statement by the Borrower and the acceptance thereof by the
Representative to constitute in all events such approval). The Official Statement shall be
delivered in sufficient quantity as may reasonably be requested by the Representative in order to
comply with Rule 15c2 -12 and the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board
( "MSRB ") within seven business days of the date hereof and, in the event the Closing Date is
less than seven business days after the date hereof, upon request of the Representative, in
sufficient time to accompany any confirmation requesting payment from any customers of the
Underwriters.
(d) The City has deemed the information contained in the Preliminary Official
Statement, and will deem the information contained in the Official Statement, regarding the City
under the captions "THE CITY" and "LITIGATION — The City ", to be final as of its date. The
City hereby ratifies, confirms and approves the use and distribution by the Underwriters prior to
the date hereof of the Preliminary Official Statement, and hereby authorizes the Underwriters to

(f) The Underwriter shall have received from Ernst & Young LLP (i) on or
prior to the date hereof, an executed copy of its letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit C

Indenture and the Loan Agreement.
(b) When delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters at the Closing in
accordance with the provisions of this Bond Purchase Contract, the Bonds will have been duly

moratorium or other law or laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or
against municipal corporations such as the City from time to time in effect and further subject to
the availability of equitable remedies).

execution or delivery of the Bonds, or in any way contesting or affecting any proceedings of the
City taken concerning the issuance or sale thereof, the pledge or application of any moneys or
security provided for the payment of the Bonds, in any way contesting the validity or

-4-
CHIC_5149578.1
Statement or the Official Statement, as amended or supplemented, or the existence or powers of
the City relating to the issuance of the Bonds or any of the transactions contemplated by the
Preliminary Official Statement, the Official Statement or this Bond Purchase Contract.
(e) The statements and information contained in the Official Statement
relating to the City and its functions, duties and responsibilities under the captions "THE CITY"
and "LITIGATION — The City" as of its date and the date hereof did not and, as of the Closing
Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
(f) The City will furnish, at the expense of the Borrower, such information,
execute such instruments and take such other action in cooperation with the Representative as the
Representative may reasonably request in order for the Underwriters (i) to qualify the Bonds for

jurisdictions of the United States as the Underwriters may designate and (ii) to determine the
eligibility of the Bonds for investment under the laws of such states and other jurisdictions, and
to continue such qualification in effect so long as required for distribution of the Bonds;
provided, however, that in no event shall the City be required to take any action which would
subject it to general or unlimited service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so
subject.

including the 25th day following the end of the underwriting period (as such term is defined in

the information relating to the City and its functions, duties and responsibilities contained in the
Official Statement under the captions "THE CITY" and "LITIGATION — The City," as then
supplemented or amended, to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make such information therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances under which it was presented or if the City is
notified by the Borrower pursuant to Section 23 of the Letter of Representation, or otherwise
requested to amend, supplement or otherwise change the Official Statement, the City will notify
the Representative and the Borrower. If, in the opinion of the Representative, such event
requires the preparation and publication of a supplement or amendment to the Official Statement,
the City will amend or supplement the Official Statement in a form and in a manner approved by
the Representative, provided all expenses thereby incurred will be paid by the Borrower or the
Underwriters pursuant to Section 23 of the Letter of Representation.
(h) The execution and delivery of the Bonds, the Loan Agreement, the Bond
Indenture and this Bond Purchase Contract, and compliance with the provisions on the City's
part contained therein, will not conflict with or constitute a breach of or default under any
existing law, administrative regulation, judgment, decree, loan agreement, indenture, bond, note,
resolution, agreement or other instrument to which the City is a party or is otherwise subject, nor
will any such execution, delivery, adoption or compliance result in the creation or imposition of
any lien, charge or other security interest or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of
the properties or assets of the City under the terms of any such law, administrative regulation,
-5-

judgment, decree, loan agreement, indenture, bond, note, resolution, agreement or other
instrument, except as provided by the Bond Indenture and the Loan Agreement.

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, the Borrower shall

counsel for the Underwriters or the City, to amend or supplement the Official Statement in order

time it is delivered to a purchaser, forthwith prepare and furnish to the Representative and the
City (at the expense of the Borrower for 90 days from the date of Closing, and thereafter at the
expense of the Underwriters) a reasonable number of copies of an amendment of or supplement
to the Official Statement (in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters and
counsel to the City) which will amend or supplement the Official Statement so that it will not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time
the Official Statement is delivered to the purchaser. For the purposes of this section, the
Borrower will furnish such information with respect to itself, NHC, any future Members of the
Obligated Group and their respective present and proposed facilities as any of you may from
time to time reasonably request.
25. (a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters, the
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Underwriters and each person who controls the
Underwriters within the meaning of either the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against any and all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other federal or
state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Official Statement (or in
any supplement or amendment thereto), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Borrower will not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or
is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in the Official Statement, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Borrower by or on
behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which the Borrower may otherwise have.
(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City, the directors,
officers, employees and agents of the City and each person who controls the City within the
meaning of either the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
A -7
CHIC_5149578.1
which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other federal or state statutory law or
regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Official Statement (or in any supplement or
amendment thereto), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to
reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Borrower will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the
Official Statement, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Borrower by or on behalf of the City
specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which the Borrower may otherwise have.
(c) The Underwriters agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower, each of
its officials, directors, trustees, officers and employees, and each person who controls the
Borrower within the meaning of either the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Borrower to the Underwriters, but only with reference to written information relating to the
Underwriters furnished to the Borrower by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for
inclusion in the Official Statement (or in any amendment or supplement thereto). This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have. The
Borrower acknowledges that the statements set forth in the section entitled "UNDERWRITING"
and the paragraph related to stabilization on the inside cover page of the Official Statement,
constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriters for
inclusion in the Official Statement (or in any amendment or supplement thereto).
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 25 of notice
of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 25 notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will
not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above unless and to the extent it did not
otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party
of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party
from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided
in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of
the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified
party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party
shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by
the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel
shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election
to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party
A -8
CHIC_5149578.1
shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of
counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such
counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any
such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or
other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of
the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party
to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will
not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent
to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder
(whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(e) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (c) of this
Section 25 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason,
the Borrower and the Underwriters agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages
and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending same) (collectively "Losses ") to which the Borrower and the
Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Borrower on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering
of the Bonds. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for
any reason, the Borrower and the Underwriters shall contribute in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Borrower on
the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In no case
shall the Underwriters be responsible for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or
commission applicable to the Bonds purchased by the Underwriters hereunder. Benefits received
by the Borrower shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before
deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to
be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions in each case set forth in the Official
Statement under the section entitled "UNDERWRITING." Relative fault shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
provided by the Borrower on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the
parties and their relative knowledge, information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
untrue statement or omission. The Borrower and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (e), no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section I l(f) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 25, each person who controls the Underwriters
within the meaning of either the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange
A -9

Borrower within the meaning of either the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and each official, director, officer and employee of the
Borrower shall have the same rights to contribution as the Borrower, subject in each case to the
applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (e).
26. The Borrower has filed all annual reports when and where they are required to be
filed pursuant to any Continuing Disclosure Certificate executed and delivered by the Borrower
pursuant to Rule 15c2 -12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission that has been binding
upon the Borrower, and has filed all required notices of "listed events," as described in Rule
15c2 -12, when and where such notices are required to be filed pursuant to such Continuing
Disclosure Certificates.
27. The representations, warranties, agreements and indemnities herein shall survive
the Closing under the Bond Purchase Contract, and any investigation made by or on behalf of
any of you or any person who controls any of you of any matters described in or related to the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the Bond Purchase Contract, the Official Statement, the

28. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the expenses described in Section 5 of the
Bond Purchase Contract (which are the responsibility of the Borrower), and to pay any expenses
incurred in amending or supplementing the Official Statement pursuant to the Bond Purchase
Contract or this Letter of Representation.
29. This Letter of Representation shall be binding upon the Borrower and inure solely
to the benefit of each of you and, to the extent set forth herein, persons controlling any of you,
and their respective members, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns, and no other
person or firm shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Letter of Representation.

Representation shall be had against any officer or director of the Borrower as individuals, except
as caused by their bad faith.

advisor or fiduciary of the Borrower, (iii) the Underwriters have not assumed an advisory or
fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to the offering contemplated
hereby or the discussions, undertakings and procedures leading thereto (irrespective of whether
the Underwriters have provided other services or are currently providing other services to the
Borrower on other matters) and the Underwriters have no obligation to the Borrower with respect

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to the Bond Purchase Contract dated ,
2011 (the "Purchase Contract', between the City of Newport Beach, California (the "City ") and
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., acting on behalf of itself and on behalf of J.P. Morgan Securities

with the issuance by the City of $ aggregate principal amount of the City's Revenue
Bonds (Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian) Series 2011D (the "Bonds ") pursuant to a Bond
Indenture dated as of February 1, 2011 (the `Bond Indenture "), between the City and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as bond trustee (the "Bond Trustee "). The Bonds are being
issued for the purpose of making a loan of the proceeds thereof to the Borrower pursuant to a
Loan Agreement dated as of February 1, 2011 (the "Loan Agreement) between the City and the
Borrower.
The opinions or conclusions expressed herein are based on an analysis of existing laws,
regulations, rulings ands court decisions and cover certain matters not directly addressed by such
authorities. Such opinions may be affected by actions taken or omitted or events occurring after
the date hereof. We have not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any
such actions or events are taken or do occur. We have assumed the genuineness of all documents
and signatures presented to us (whether as originals or as copies) and the due and legal execution
and delivery thereof by, and validity against, any parties other than the City. We have not
undertaken to verify independently, and have assumed, the accuracy of the factual matters
represented, warranted or certified in the documents, and of the legal conclusions contained in
D -1
CHIC_5149578.1
the opinions, referred to in the second paragraph hereof. We have further assumed compliance
with all covenants and agreements contained in such documents. In addition, we call attention to
the fact that the rights and obligations under the Bonds, the Bond Indenture, the Loan Agreement
and the Purchase Contract may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors' rights, to the application of
equitable principles and to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases. We express no
opinion with respect to any indemnification, contribution, choice of law, choice of forum or
waiver provisions contained in the foregoing documents.
As counsel for the City in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, I have examined
certain documents, records and proceedings as I have deemed necessary and appropriate for the
purpose of this opinion and, on the basis of the foregoing and upon consideration of applicable
law, I am of the opinion that:
1. The City is a municipal corporation and charter city duly organized and validly
existing under a freeholder's charter under the Constitution and laws of the State of California
and has corporate power and authority to consummate and carry out all transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Contract.
2. The Preliminary Official Statement dated January , 2011 (the "Preliminary
Official Statement ") has been duly authorized and delivered and the Official Statement dated
, 2011 (the "Official Statement ") has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, in
each case by the City.
3. Without assuming any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of
the information or the statements contain in the Official Statement, to my knowledge, the
information relating to the City in its limited role as the conduit issuer of the Bonds contained in
the Official Statement under the headings "THE CITY" and "LITIGATION — The City" does not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
4. The Resolution of the City Council of the City approving and authorizing the
execution and delivery of the Bond Indenture, the Purchase Contract, the Bonds, the Loan
Agreement and the Official Statement was duly adopted at a meeting of the City Council which
was called and held pursuant to law and all public notices required by law and the procedural
rules of the City Council and at which a quorum was present and acting throughout.
5. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation at law or in equity before or
by any court, public board or body known to be pending or threatened against or affecting the
City to restrain or enjoin the issuance of delivery of the Bonds or the collection of revenues
pledged under the Bond Indenture or the assignment of the Loan Agreement under the Bond
Indenture, in any way contesting or affecting any authority for the issuance of the Bonds or the
validity of the Bonds, the Loan Agreement, the Bond Indenture or the Purchase Contract or in
any way contesting the existence or powers of the City with respect to the issuance of the Bonds
or the security therefore wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would materially
adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Preliminary Official Statement, the Official
D -2
CHIC_5149578.1
Statement, the Bond Indenture, the Loan Agreement or the Purchase Contract or the validity of
the Bonds.
6. The execution and delivery of the Bonds, the Bond Indenture, the Loan
Agreement and the Purchase Contract and compliance with the provisions thereof under the
circumstances contemplated thereby do not and will not conflict with or constitute on the part of
the City a breach or default under any agreement or other instrument to which the City is a party
or by which it is bound or any existing law, regulation, court order or consent decree to which
the City is subject, the result of which breach or default would be to materially adversely affect
the City's ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Agreement, the Bond Indenture, the
Bonds or the Purchase Contract.
7. The Loan Agreement, the Bond Indenture, the Bonds and the Purchase Contract
have been duly executed and delivered by the City and, assuming due authorization, execution
and delivery by the other parties thereto, are valid and binding obligations of the City
enforceable in accordance with their terms subject to laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or creditors' rights generally and to the application of equitable principles if
equitable remedies are sought.

Re: $ City of Newport Beach Revenue Bonds (Hoag Memorial Hospital
Presbyterian) Series 2011D
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, a California
nonprofit public benefit corporation (the "Corporation ") and Newport Healthcare Center, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ( "NHC "), in connection with the sale and delivery of
$ City of Newport Beach Revenue Bonds (Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian)
Series 2011D (the "Bonds "); however, we are not general counsel to the Corporation or NHC.
Our opinion is based on the following general transaction structure:
The Bonds are being executed and delivered pursuant to a Bond Indenture, dated as of
February 1, 2011 (the "Indenture ") between the City of Newport Beach (the "City ") and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Bond Trustee "). The proceeds of the Bonds
are being loaned to the Corporation under the terms of a Loan Agreement, dated as of February
1, 2011 (the "Loan Agreement ") between the City and the Corporation. Capitalized terms used
but not defined in this opinion have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.
The Corporation is issuing its Obligation No. 10 ( "Obligation No. 10 ") to evidence its
obligation to make payments sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, interest on and
purchase price of the Bonds, pursuant to a Master Trust Indenture dated as of May 1, 2007 (as
amended, supplemented and otherwise modified, the "Master Indenture "), by and among the
E -1
CHIC_5149578.1
Corporation, NHC and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master trustee (the "Master
Trustee ").
In connection with the Bonds, the Corporation and the Master Trustee are also entering
into Supplemental Master Indenture For Obligation No. 10, dated as of February 1, 2011
( "Supplemental Master Indenture No. 10 ").
The Bonds are being sold pursuant to a Bond Purchase Contract dated , 2011
between the City and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., acting on behalf of itself and on behalf of
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and approved by the Corporation (the "Purchase Contract "). A
preliminary official statement dated January , 2011 (the "Preliminary Official Statement ")
and an official statement dated , 2011 (the "Official Statement') have been prepared to
furnish information with respect to the sale and delivery of the Bonds.
This Opinion is provided pursuant to paragraph 3(e)(4) of the Purchase Contract.
We have made such investigations of facts and law, examined such documents, obtained
such certificates from public officials and officers of the Corporation, and done such other things
as we have determined to be necessary or appropriate to render this opinion. We have assumed
that there are no other documents or agreements between the Corporation or NHC and the
Master Trustee which would expand or otherwise modify the respective rights and obligations of
the Corporation or NHC and the Master Trustee as set forth in Supplemental Master Indenture
No. 10 and Obligation No. 10 and the documents required or contemplated thereby. As to
questions of fact relevant to this opinion, we have been furnished with and relied solely upon
certificates of public officials, certificates of and questionnaires completed by certain officers of
the Corporation, and documents submitted to us in response to our information request to the
Corporation and NHC and follow -up with officers of the Corporation where indicated based on
the information received from such sources. We have assumed and have not verified the
accuracy of the facts stated in any certificate, questionnaire or the documents provided to us in
response to our requests as described above.
Whenever a statement herein is qualified by "known to us," "to our current actual
knowledge," or similar phrase, it is intended to indicate that, during the course of our
representation of the Corporation and NHC, no information that would give us current actual
knowledge of the inaccuracy of such statement has come to the attention of those attorneys in
this firm who have rendered legal services in connection with the transaction described in the
introductory paragraph hereof. However, except as otherwise expressly indicated, we have not
undertaken any independent investigation to determine the accuracy of such statement, and any
limited inquiry undertaken by us during the preparation of this opinion letter should not be
regarded as such an investigation; no inference as to our knowledge of any matters bearing on
the accuracy of any such statement should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the
Corporation or NHC.
We have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons and that, with respect to all
parties to agreements or instruments relevant hereto (other than the Corporation and NEC), such
parties had the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform such agreement or
instruments, that such agreements or instruments have been duly authorized by all requisite
E -2
CHIC_5149578.1
action, executed and delivered by such parties, and that such agreement or instruments are the
valid binding and enforceable obligations of such parties. We have further assumed the
authenticity of all items submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all items
submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and except for signatures on behalf of the
Corporation and NHC, the genuineness of such signatures. We have further assumed that the
City is a duly organized and validly existing local government entity and that the Bonds have
been duly issued by the City.
With respect to our opinions in paragraphs 18 and 19 below, we have made the following
assumptions: (i) the description of the Gross Receivables contained in Supplemental Master
Indenture For Obligation No. 1, dated as of May 1, 2008, between the Corporation and the
Master Trustee ( "Supplemental Master Indenture No. I") and the UCC -1 Financing Statements
described in paragraphs 18 and 19 below "reasonably identifies" the Gross Receivables within
the meaning of California Uniform Commercial Code Section 9108; (ii) the Corporation and
NHC have sufficient "rights" or "power to transfer rights" in the Gross Receivables within the
meaning of California Uniform Commercial Code Section 9203 and (iii) the Corporation and
NHC have each received legally sufficient consideration and "value" (as such term is defined in
California Uniform Commercial Code Section 1201) as required by California Uniform
Commercial Code Section 9203 for its obligations under Supplemental Master Indenture No. 1,
Supplemental Master Indenture No. 10 and Obligation No. 10 and for the granting of security
interests in its property as security for such obligations.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the additional assumptions, exceptions, the
qualifications and limitations set forth below, as of the date of this letter, it is our opinion that:
1. The Corporation is a nonprofit public benefit corporation duly organized and in
good standing under the laws of the State of California.

laws of the State of Delaware.

Corporation and NHC, as applicable, of the duties and covenants of the Corporation and NHC
contained therein and the fulfillment of or compliance by the Corporation and NHC with the
terms and conditions thereof (a) do not and will not constitute on the part of the Corporation or

CHIC_5149578.1
11. (a) To our current actual knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding
pending against the Corporation or NEC or their respective properties in any court or before any
governmental authority or agency, or arbitration board or tribunal, which challenges the
consummation of the financing transactions contemplated by or the validity of the Bonds or the
Borrower Documents, which, if determined adversely to the Corporation or NHC, would have a
material and adverse effect on such consummation or validity.
(b) To our current actual knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding,
pending against the Corporation or NHC or their respective assets, properties or operations in
any court or before any governmental authority or agency, or arbitration board or tribunal,
which, if determined adversely to the Corporation or NHC, would have a material and adverse
effect on the Corporation or NHC or their financial condition, assets or operations (taken as a
whole).
(c) To our current actual knowledge, neither the Corporation nor NHC is in
violation or breach with respect to any specific judicial or administrative adjudicative order or
decree directed to or affecting the Corporation or NEC by any federal, state, or municipal court
or other governmental authority which violation or breach might have consequences that would
materially and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
documents referred to in this paragraph 11 or the financial condition or operations of the
Corporation or NHC (taken as a whole).
12. The Corporation is an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal

opinion, has the same meaning ascribed thereto in Supplemental Master Indenture No. 1.
E -5
CHIC_5149578.1
18. The UCC -1 Financing Statement filed with the California Secretary of State on
as Filing No. (the "Corporation Financing Statement') is in adequate
and legally sufficient form to perfect a security interest in favor of the Master Trustee in the

Corporation Financing Statement and Supplemental Master Indenture No. 1, and for which
perfection may occur by the filing of a UCC -1 Financing Statement with the Secretary of State
for the State of California (the "Corporation Gross Receivables "). Assuming that the
Corporation Financing Statement was duty filed with the Secretary of State for the State of
California in accordance with the provisions of Section 9516(a) of the California Uniform
Commercial Code, the Master Trustee has a perfected security interest in the Corporation Gross
Receivables.
19. The UCC -1 Financing Statement filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on
as Filing No. (the "NHC Financing Statement') is in adequate and
legally sufficient form to perfect a security interest in favor of the Master Trustee in the right,

Statement and Supplemental Master Indenture No. 1, and for which perfection may occur by the
filing of a UCC -1 Financing Statement with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware (the
"NHC Gross Receivables "). Assuming that the NHC Financing Statement was duly filed with
the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware in accordance with the provisions of Section
9516(a) of the California Uniform Commercial Code, the Master Trustee has a perfected security
interest in the NHC Gross Receivables.
20. As holders of Master Indenture Obligations (as defined in the Master Indenture),
the holders of Obligation No. 10 are entitled to the benefit of the security interest in favor of the
Master Trustee in the Corporation Gross Receivables and the NHC Gross Receivables, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Supplemental Master Indenture No. 1.
In connection with our participation in the preparation of the Official Statements, we
have not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements
contained therein, and the limitations inherent in the examination made by us and the knowledge
available to us are such that we are unable to assume, and we do not assume, any responsibility
for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Official Statements.
However, on the basis of our examination and our participation in conferences with certain
officers of the Corporation and NHC, its independent auditors and representatives of the
Underwriter, its counsel and Bond Counsel in connection with the preparation of the Official
Statements, we can advise you supplementally as a matter of fact that we have no current actual
knowledge that the Official Statements as of their date or the date hereof contained or contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. However,
we are not expressing any belief as to the financial statements and the notes thereto or any
financial statistical or economic data or forecast, or the demographic and statistical data, or any
information regarding the City, the Book -Entry Only System and The Depository Trust
Company, all as contained in the Official Statements.

Our opinion is subject to the following qualifications:
(a) We have not examined the question of what law would govern the
interpretation or enforcement of the Master Indenture, the Indenture, Obligation No. 10, the
Loan Agreement or the Purchase Contract and, except as set forth in (b), (c) and (d) below,
we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other than
California.
(b) We express our opinion with respect to federal law only as set out in
paragraphs 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 hereof and as it may apply to exception
paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and (g).
(c) Except as specifically provided in paragraphs 13 and 16 and in exception
paragraph (d), we express no opinion with respect to the registration or qualification
provisions of federal or state securities laws or their application to any of the documents
referred to herein or any transaction contemplated thereunder.
limited:
(d) The enforceability of the documents listed in paragraphs 7 and 8 may be
(i) by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, or other similar
laws or proceedings affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally as such
proceedings or laws affect the Corporation, including, without limitation, self -help
remedies, applicable foreclosure procedures and by application of equitable principles
regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law,
(ii) to the extent that enforcement may be held to be against public policy,
(iii) to the extent that the indemnification provisions in such documents
may be limited by applicable securities law or public policy,
(iv) by the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and
(v) to the extent that enforcement may be limited by donor restrictions on
certain funds.
(e) Our opinion as expressed in paragraph 12 is based solely upon an interview
with the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, a review of
the minutes of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and a review of responses to
inquiries by us of litigation counsel identified by the Corporation regarding litigation matters
pertaining to the Corporation and a certificate regarding litigation matters dated the date
hereof of the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation.
(f) We express no opinion as to:
(i) The enforceability of provisions in any of the documents mentioned
herein with respect to the payment of attorneys' fees.
E -7
CHIC_5149578.1
(ii) The enforceability under certain circumstances of provisions waiving
stated rights or unknown future rights, or providing that rights or remedies are not
exclusive, but every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition
or with any other right or remedy or that the election of some particular remedy or
remedies does not preclude or waive recourse to one or more others. Provisions
purporting to limit or restrict the right of the Corporation or NHC to sell, encumber or
otherwise transfer or dispose of any of their respective property may be
unenforceable to the extent that they impose restrictions upon the Corporation or
NHC and it cannot be demonstrated that such restrictions are reasonably necessary
for Master Trustee's protection. Limitations on strict enforcement of certain
covenants in debt instruments absent a showing of damage to the lender, impairment
of value of collateral or impairment of the debtor's ability to pay or otherwise under
circumstances which would violate the lender's covenant of good faith and fair
dealing.
(iii) The enforceability under certain circumstances of provisions which
waive statutory rights to receive notice or to be allowed to cure, or which waive
statutes of limitations.
(iv) The enforceability under certain circumstances of provisions to the
effect that failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights or remedies will not operate
as a waiver of that right or remedy or that waivers must be in writing in order to be
effective. Limitations on the exercise of certain contractual rights and remedies if the
defaults are not material or the penalties bear no reasonable relation to the damages
suffered by the aggrieved party as a result of the delinquencies or defaults.
(v) The enforceability under certain circumstances of provisions to the
effect that the invalidity or unenforceability of certain provisions shall not impair the
validity or enforceability of remaining provisions.
(vi) The enforceability of provisions in any of the documents relating to
the disposition of insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds.
(vii) The enforceability of provisions in any of the documents relating to
the execution of claims by third parties to such documents.
(viii) The enforceability of provisions increasing the interest rate payable
after a default or imposing a prepayment premium (except upon voluntary
prepayment) or late charges.
(ix) The enforceability of provisions which waive rights of set -off.
(x) The enforceability of provisions that time is of the essence.
(xi) The enforceability of any provisions that indemnify any party against
its own negligence or willful misconduct. The effect of provisions releasing or
indemnifying a party against liability for its own wrongful or negligent acts, or where
indemnification is contrary to public policy.
E -8
CHIC_5149578.1
(xii) The effect of California Civil Code Section 1670.5 which provides
that a court may refuse to enforce, or may limit the application of, a contract or any
clause thereof which the court finds as a matter of law to have been unconscionable at
the time it was made. The effect of California Civil Code Section 1671 which
provides in part that a contractual provision liquidating the damages for breach of
contract in a commercial transaction will be invalid if it is established that the
provision was "unreasonable" under the circumstances existing at the time the
contract was made. The effect of Sections 2787 through 2855 of the California Civil
Code which provide protections for and limitations on the obligations of a guarantor
such as, but not limited to, limitations that provide (i) in certain circumstances that a
notice be given to the guarantor of any default by the debtor or obligor which may
result in liability to the guarantor; (ii) that the obligations of a guarantor cannot be
greater in amount or more burdensome than that of the obligor; (iii) that the guarantor
will have the same defenses to liability as the obligor, other than defenses arising
from the personal disability of the obligor; (iv) that a guarantor will be exonerated
from liability, by any act of the creditor taken without the guarantor's consent, which
alters the original obligations of the obligor or impairs or suspends any remedies or
rights of the creditor against the obligor or security for the guaranteed obligation;
(v) that the creditor's acceptance of anything in partial satisfaction of the guaranteed
obligation also reduces the obligation of the guarantor to the same extent; and
(vi) that a guarantor may require the creditor to proceed against the obligor or
security held by the creditor or to pursue other remedies within the power of the
creditor which cannot be pursued by the guarantor before proceeding against the
guarantor. The effect of Sections 3439.01 through 3439.12 of the California Civil
Code relative to fraudulent transfers or conveyances.
(xiii) The effect of Section 1698 of the California Civil Code which
provides in part that provisions of any instrument or agreement may only be waived
in writing will not be enforced to the extent that an oral agreement has been executed
modifying provisions of such instrument or agreement.
(xiv) The enforceability of provisions governing choice of law, waiving the
right to trial by jury, consenting to jurisdiction or venue, altering the statutory method
of service of process, or appointing any party as the attomey -in -fact for the other
party.
(g) Certain provisions of the Borrower Documents may be unenforceable under
applicable California laws governing such provisions, but neither such laws nor the possible
unenforceability of the provisions referred to in section (f) above, subject to the other
exceptions, qualifications and limitations in this Opinion, render the Borrower Documents
invalid as a whole or substantially interfere with realization of the principal benefits provided
by the Borrower Documents. In addition, we advise you that California court decisions
invoking statutes or principles of equity have held that certain covenants and provisions of
agreements are unenforceable where (i) the breach of such covenants or provisions imposes
restrictions or burdens upon the debtor, including the acceleration of indebtedness due under
debt instruments, and it cannot be demonstrated that the enforcement of such restrictions or
burdens is reasonably necessary for the protection of the creditor, or (ii) the creditor's
enforcement of such covenants or provisions under the circumstances would be unreasonable,
E -9
CHIC_5149578.1
violate the creditor's implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing or would be
commercially unreasonable.
(h) Our opinions as expressed in paragraphs 12 and 13 are based solely upon:
(i) The current articles of incorporation as certified by the Secretary of
State of the State of California and bylaws of the Corporation as provided to us by the
Corporation;
(ii) A copy of a letter dated March 10, 1954 by the Internal Revenue
Service addressed to the Corporation confirming that the Corporation is exempt from
federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code as an organization described
in Section 501(c)(3) and that the Corporation is not a "private foundation" within the
meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code;
(iii) A certificate from the President and Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of the Corporation stating that the Corporation has not been notified
by the Internal Revenue Service of any investigation of, or proposed or actual
revocation of its status as an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Code
which is not a private foundation; and
(iv) Factual information set forth in certificates from officers of the
Corporation, the Corporation's responses to our questionnaire dated
and the documents and other information submitted to us in response to our
information request to the Corporation dated and follow -up with
officers of the Corporation where indicated based on the information received from
such sources.

and tax - exempt status of the Bonds, and we express no opinion herein on such matters.

law in effect as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this

types or classifications of coverage, including general and medical malpractice liability
coverage, and we do not represent by this opinion or otherwise that we have reviewed or
made any assessment about, nor do we express any opinion about the types or amounts of
coverage, of the ability of any insurer or any self insurance program or organization to meet
its obligations pursuant to any policy or agreement with the Corporation or NHC, or of the
adequacy of the funding or reserves thereof.

otherwise, that we have reviewed or made any assessment about, nor do we offer any opinion

materiality made by the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the
Corporation.

FORM OF OPINION OF UNDERWRITER'S COUNSEL
February , 2011
Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
Los Angeles, California
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC
San Francisco, California
Re: $ City of Newport Beach Revenue Bonds (Hoag Memorial Hospital
Presbyterian) Series 2011D (the "Bonds ")
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to you as the Underwriters in connection with the purchase by
you of the $ aggregate principal amount of the City of Newport Beach Revenue
Bonds (Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian) Series 2011D (the "Bonds ") pursuant to a Bond
Purchase Contract (the "Bond Purchase Contract "), by and between the City of Newport Beach
(the "City ") and you, as the Underwriters, which Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian (the
"Borrower ") has approved. The Bonds are being issued pursuant to a Bond Indenture dated as of
February 1, 2011 (the `Bond Indenture ") between the City and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as bond trustee (the "Trustee ") for the purpose of making a loan to the Borrower
pursuant to the Loan Agreement dated as of February 1, 2011 (the "Loan Agreement ") between
the City and the Borrower.
In that connection, we have reviewed the Loan Agreement; the Bond Indenture; the
Master Indenture dated as of May 1, 2007 between the Borrower, Newport Healthcare Center,
LLC ( "NHC ") and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master trustee (the "Master
Trustee "), as supplemented by the Supplemental Master Indenture for Obligation No. 10 (as so
supplemented, the "Master Indenture "), between the Borrower and the Master Trustee;
Obligation No. 10; the Preliminary Official Statement dated January , 2011 (the "Preliminary
Official Statement "), the Official Statement dated , 2011 (the "Official Statement)
relating to the Bonds; the Continuing Disclosure Certificate dated the date of issuance and
delivery of the Bonds (the "Continuing Disclosure Certificate ") by and between the Borrower
and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as dissemination agent; the Letter of
Representation described in the Bond Purchase Contract; the opinion of Stradling Yocca Carlson
& Rauth, a Professional Corporation, counsel to the Borrower, dated the date hereof,
certifications of the City, the Borrower, NHC, the Master Trustee, the Trustee and others as to
F -1
CHIC_5149578.1
certain matters; such opinions and such other records and documents; and we have made such
investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions and statements
hereinafter expressed.
In rendering the opinions and making the statements hereinafter expressed, we are not
expressing any opinion or view of the validity, accuracy or sufficiency of the documents,
certificates or opinions referred to above or on the authorization, issuance, delivery or validity of
the Bonds and we have assumed, but not independently verified, that the signatures on all
documents, certificates and opinions that we have reviewed are genuine.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Bonds are not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended; and the Bond Indenture and the Master Indenture are exempt from
qualification pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
2. Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish
factual matters and because of the wholly or partially non -legal character of many determinations
involved in the preparation of the Official Statement, we are not passing upon and do not assume
any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of any of the statements contained
in the Official Statement and make no representation that we have independently certified the
accuracy, completeness or fairness of any such statements. However, in our capacity as counsel
for the Underwriter during the course of preparation of the Official Statement, we met in
conferences or had discussions with your representatives, representatives of the Borrower and its
counsel, bond counsel, and others, during which conferences the contents of the Official
Statement and related matters were discussed. Based on our participation in the above
mentioned conferences and in reliance thereon and on the certificates, opinions and other
documents herein mentioned, we advise you that no information came to our attention which
caused us to believe that the Official Statement as of its date and as of the date of this opinion
(except for any financial or statistical data or forecasts and the information relating to DTC
contained therein as to which we express no opinion or view) contained any untrue statement of
a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
3. The Continuing Disclosure Certificate satisfies the requirements of Section
(b)(5)(i) of Rule 15c2 -12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (17 C.F.R., Part 240,
§420.15c2- 12)(the "Rule "), which provide for an undertaking for the benefit of the holders,
including beneficial owners, of the Bonds to provide certain annual financial information and
event notices to various information repositories at the times and in the manner required by the
Rule.
4. With respect to the Bonds, other than the Borrower, there are no "obligated
persons" within the meaning of the Rule which would be required to provide certain annual
financial information and event notices to various information repositories as required by the
Rule.
F -2
CHIC_5149578.1
In rendering the foregoing opinions in paragraphs 3 and 4 hereof, we have assumed the
due authorization, execution and delivery of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate by the
Borrower, and that such Continuing Disclosure Certificate is a valid and binding obligation of
the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms.
The opinions expressed herein are based upon existing law as of the date hereof and we
express no opinion herein as of any subsequent date or with respect to any pending legislation.
We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion if any applicable laws change after the date
hereof or if we become aware of any facts that might change the opinions expressed herein after
the date hereof.
In rendering these opinions, we are expressing no opinion on the validity of the Bonds or
on the exclusion of interest evidenced by the Bonds from the gross income of the holders thereof
for federal income tax purposes or the exemption of interest on the Bonds from State of
California personal income taxes. We understand that you are relying on the opinion of Bond
Counsel in that regard.
The opinions herein are limited to the laws of the United States.
We are furnishing this letter to you pursuant to the Bond Purchase Contract solely for
your benefit as Underwriter. This letter is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred
to for any other purpose except that reference to our opinion in the first numbered paragraph of
this letter may be made in the Official Statement or other documents and except that reference
may be made to this letter in any list of closing documents pertaining to the sale of the Bonds.
