Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
("Childs"), UHS Acquisition Corp., a Minnesota

(the "Stockholder").
WHEREAS, Childs and Merger Sub are parties to
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement")
dated as of November 25, 1997 by and among Merger Sub,
Childs and Universal Hospital Services, Inc., a Minnesota
corporation (the "Company"), providing for, among other

corporation in the Merger (the "Surviving Corporation");
WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement provides, among
other things, that subject to the terms and conditions of
the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger
(the "Effective Time"), except as otherwise agreed in
writing between Merger Sub and any holder thereof, (i)
each share of the Company's common stock, par value $.01
per share, together with the associated preferred stock
purchase rights (the "Common Stock"), issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time,
shall be canceled, extinguished and converted into a
right to receive $15.50 in net cash per share without
interest thereon (the "Merger Consideration"), and (ii)
each option to acquire shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time under certain
benefit plans set forth in Section 1.8(a) of the Merger
Agreement, whether vested or unvested (each, an
"Option"), shall automatically become vested and
exercisable, and each holder of an Option shall have the
right to receive from the Surviving Corporation a cash
payment in an aggregate amount equal to the difference
between the Merger Consideration less the applicable
exercise price per share of Common Stock applicable to
such Option for all shares of Common Stock subject to the
Option (the "Option Consideration");
WHEREAS, the Stockholder is the beneficial and
record owner of 2300 shares of Common Stock and the
holder of options to purchase 5887 shares of Common

WHEREAS, the Stockholder is currently a member

WHEREAS, Childs, Merger Sub and the Stockholder
desire to allow certain of the shares of Common Stock and
all of the options to purchase shares of Common Stock
held by the Stockholder to remain issued and outstanding
in the Merger, in lieu of receipt of the Merger
Consideration and Option Consideration, respectively,
therefor;
WHEREAS, this Agreement is one of several
subscription agreements being entered into by Childs and
Merger Sub with certain members of management or key
employees of the Company;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing and in consideration of the mutual agreements
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. "Roll Over" of Shares and Options.
a. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth, the Stockholder hereby
agrees that at the Effective Time, (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock owned beneficially and of record
by such Stockholder set forth below such Stockholder's
name on Appendix I hereto (together with the associated
preferred stock purchase rights, the "Rollover Shares")
will not be cancelled, extinguished or converted into the
right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead
each such Rollover Share will remain issued and
outstanding as one fully paid and nonassessable share of
common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Surviving
Corporation ("Surviving Corporation Stock"), and (ii)
upon consummation of the Merger, all options to purchase
shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder
(collectively, the "Rollover Options"), as set forth
below such Stockholder's name on Appendix I hereto will
not become vested and exercisable for the Option
Consideration in accordance with Section 1.8(a) of the
Merger Agreement, but instead all such Options will
remain issued and outstanding options to purchase shares
of Surviving Corporation Stock. The Stockholder further
agrees that he will not, and will not permit any company,
trust or other entity controlled by him, to (i) contract
to sell, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of
the Rollover Shares or any interest therein or Rollover
Options or other options or securities convertible into
shares of Common Stock or any voting rights with respect
thereto, other than as contemplated hereby, or (ii) take
any action which would make any representation or
warranty made by him in this Agreement untrue or
incorrect. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein
shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms
in the Merger Agreement.
b. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth, as soon as practicable
following the Effective Time, (i) the Stockholder shall
surrender to the Surviving Corporation a certificate or
certificates representing the Rollover Shares, and the
Surviving Corporation shall deliver to the Stockholder in
exchange therefor a certificate or certificates
representing a like number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Surviving Corporation Stock, and
(ii) the Stockholder shall surrender to the Surviving
Corporation an Option Agreement or Option Agreements
pursuant to which the Rollover Options were granted to
such Stockholder, and the Surviving Corporation shall
grant to such Stockholder in exchange therefor an option
to purchase a like number of shares of Surviving
Corporation Stock. The Stockholder further agrees that
prior to receipt of any shares of Surviving Corporation
Stock, the Stockholder will execute a Stockholders'
Agreement (the "Stockholders' Agreement") by and among
the Surviving Corporation and each of the stockholders of
the Surviving Corporation, substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit C to the Private Placement Memorandum
(as hereinafter defined). The shares of Surviving
Corporation Stock acquired by the Stockholder pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement or after the Closing pursuant
to any employee benefit plans of the Surviving
Corporation, the Stockholders' Agreement or otherwise are
hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively herein as
the "Stock."
c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Surviving Corporation shall have no
obligation to issue or deliver any shares of Surviving
Corporation Stock to (i) any person who is not a member
of management or key employee of the Surviving
Corporation on the date of such issuance and delivery or
(ii) any person who is a resident of a state or foreign
jurisdiction in which such issuance or delivery to him
would constitute a violation of the securities or "blue
sky" laws of such state or foreign jurisdiction.
2. Representations of the Stockholder.
a. The Stockholder hereby represents and
warrants that he is the beneficial and record owner of
the number of shares of Common Stock, and the holder of
the number of options to purchase shares of Common Stock,
set forth opposite his name on Appendix I hereto, free
and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, adverse
claims, voting agreements and commitments of every kind,
except as disclosed on Appendix I. Except as set forth
on Appendix I and except for 1,784 additional shares of
Common Stock, none of the Stockholder or any company,
trust or other entity controlled by the Stockholder owns
any additional shares of the capital stock of the Company
or securities convertible thereinto or any interest
therein or has any voting rights with respect to any
additional shares of capital stock of the Company.
b. The Stockholder hereby represents and
warrants that (i) the Stockholder is acquiring the Stock
for the Stockholder's own account, for investment only
and not with a view toward resale or other distribution
of the Stock within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); (ii) the
Stockholder has no present intention of selling or
otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the Stock;
and (iii) the Stockholder understands that the Stock has
not been registered under the Securities Act, in reliance
upon exemptions contained in the Securities Act and
applicable regulations promulgated thereunder or
interpretations thereof, and cannot be offered for sale,
sold or otherwise transferred unless such sale or
transfer is so registered or qualifies for exemption from
registration under the Securities Act.
c. The Stockholder acknowledges that he has
been advised by the Company that: (i) the Stock must be
held indefinitely and the Stockholder must continue to
bear the economic risk of the investment in the Stock
unless the offer and sale of such Stock is subsequently
registered under the Act and all applicable state or
foreign securities laws or an exemption from such
registration is available; (ii) it is not anticipated
that there will be any public market for the Stock in the
foreseeable future; (iii) the Stock may be considered
"restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144
promulgated under the Act; (iv) Rule 144 is not currently
expected to be available with respect to the offers or
sales of any securities of the Surviving Corporation
after the Merger, and the Surviving Corporation has made
no covenant and is under no obligation to make such Rule
available; (v) when and if the Stock may be disposed of
without registration under the Act in reliance on Rule
144, such disposition can be made by certain persons only
in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and
conditions of such Rule; (vi) if the Rule 144 exemption
is not available, public offer or sale without
registration will require the availability of an
exemption under the Act and if an exemption for such
offers or sales is not available, registration of the
Stock may be required, but that the Surviving Corporation
is under no obligation to register the Stock or to
facilitate compliance or to comply with any exemption,
except as otherwise provided in the Stockholders'
Agreement; (vii) a restrictive legend or legends
substantially in the form set forth in the Stockholders'
Agreement shall be placed on the certificates
representing the Stock; and (viii) a notation shall be
made in the appropriate records of the Surviving
Corporation indicating that the Stock is subject to
restrictions on transfer and, if the Surviving
Corporation should at some time in the future engage the
services of a stock transfer agent, appropriate stop
transfer restrictions will be issued to such transfer
agent with respect to the Stock.
d. The Stockholder further represents and
warrants that (i) he and his representatives have
carefully reviewed the Private Placement Memorandum dated
February 4, 1998, including the exhibits thereto, and any
supplement thereto furnished to the undersigned
(collectively, the "Private Placement Memorandum"); (ii)
he understands and has taken cognizance of, or has been
advised by his representatives as to, all the risk
factors related to the acquisition of the Stock,
including those set forth in the Private Placement
Memorandum and the exhibits thereto, and no
representations have been made to the Stockholder or such
representatives concerning the Stock, the Surviving
Corporation or its business or prospects or other
matters, except as set forth in the Private Placement
Memorandum; (iii) the Stockholder and his representatives
have been granted the opportunity to ask questions of,
and receive answers from, representatives of the

of the acquisition of the Stock and to obtain any
documents, records or other additional information which
the Stockholder, or his representatives, deem necessary
to verify the accuracy of the information contained in
the Private Placement Memorandum; (iv) the Stockholder's
knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters is such that he is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the investment in the Stock, or he
has been advised by a representative possessing such
knowledge and experience; (v) the Stockholder is a member
of management or key employee of the Company and will,
after the consummation of the Merger, be a member of
management or key employee of the Surviving Corporation;
(vi) in making the Stockholder's decision to invest in
the Stock hereby subscribed for, he has relied solely
upon the independent investigations made by him and, to
the extent believed by the Stockholder to be appropriate,
his representatives, including his own professional
legal, tax and other advisors; (vii) his financial
condition is such that he can afford to bear the economic
risk of holding the unregistered Stock for an indefinite
period of time and has adequate means for providing for
his current needs and personal contingencies; (viii) he
can afford to suffer a complete loss of his investment in
the Stock; (ix) the Stock is a speculative investment
which involves a high degree of risk of loss of his
investment therein and there are substantial restrictions
on the transferability of, and there will be no public
market for, the Stock and, accordingly, it may not be
possible to liquidate his investment without a
substantial loss in the case of an emergency, if at all;
and (x) the Stockholder resides at the address set forth
on the signature page hereto and does not have any
present intention of establishing a residence in any
other state or jurisdiction.
e. The Stockholder further represents and
warrants that (i) he has full right, power and authority
to enter into and perform this Agreement, and this
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by him and is valid, binding and enforceable
against him in accordance with its terms, and (ii) either
(A) he is not legally married or (B) this Agreement has
been duly executed by his spouse on the signature page
hereof.
