                              (unaudited)
                                   
                                   
  NOTE 1.  Organization and Accounting Policies

      FHP  International Corporation (the "Company"), through its
  direct and  indirect subsidiaries, delivers managed health care
  services  and sells   indemnity  medical,  group  life,  and
  workers'  compensation insurance.
  
      Interim  periods  are viewed as an integral  part  of  the
annual period  of  the  Company.  Accordingly, the results  for  the  
interim periods  reported are based on the accounting principles and 
practices followed by the Company as presented in its Annual Report 
on Form 10-K for  the year ended June 30, 1995.  In the opinion of 
management,  all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial 
position and the results  of  operations for the nine months ended 
March 31,  1996  and 1995 are included in these consolidated financial 
statements.

NOTE 2.  Earnings Per Share

    Primary  earnings per share attributable to common stock  for  the
three  months  and the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and  1995  are
computed by dividing net income after preferred stock dividends by the
weighted  average  number of common shares and dilutive  common  stock
options  (using  average market price), which  are  considered  common
share equivalents, outstanding during the periods.

    Fully diluted earnings per share for the three months and the nine
months  ended  March 31, 1995 assume the conversion of  the  Series  A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, the elimination of the related
Preferred Stock dividend requirement and market price as of the end of
the period for dilutive common stock options.

NOTE 3.  Preferred Stock

    The  issued and outstanding, and aggregate liquidation  preference
of the Company's two series of preferred stock are as follows:


                        March 31, 1996             June 30, 1995
                     ----------------------- -----------------------

    The  Company  redeemed all of its outstanding Series  B  Preferred
Stock at stated value in December 1995.

NOTE 4.  Commitments and Contingencies

    During  the  ordinary  course of business,  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries  have  become  a party to pending  and  threatened  legal
actions and proceedings, a significant number of which involve alleged
claims  of medical malpractice.  Management is of the opinion,  taking
into  account  its  insurance coverage and  reserves  that  have  been
established, that the outcome of the currently known legal actions and
proceedings  will  not, singly or in the aggregate,  have  a  material
effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations
or cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries.

NOTE 5.  OPM

    In  the  third quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Company  increased
reserves  by  recording a pretax charge of $45 million in anticipation
of negotiations to address potential governmental claims for the years
1987  through 1991, discussed below, which may be asserted in relation
to  the Company's contracts with the United States Office of Personnel
Management  ("OPM") and for possible OPM claims for  subsequent  years
through  1995.   The addition to reserves resulted in a third  quarter
charge to earnings of $0.68 per primary share.

    The  Company's HMO subsidiaries have contracts with OPM to provide
or  arrange  managed health care services under the Federal  Employees
Health Benefits Program ("FEHBP")for federal employees, annuitants and
their  dependents.  Periodically, the Company's HMO  subsidiaries  are
subject  to  audits by the Government to, among other  things,  verify
that   premiums  charged  under  OPM  contracts  are  established   in
compliance  with  community rating and other  requirements  under  the
FEHBP.   Final  reports from such audits may recommend that  OPM  seek
monetary  recoveries  from  the  Company  for  amounts  that  may   be
substantial.   As previously disclosed, in May 1993, after  conducting
an audit of the Company's FEHBP contracts covering primarily the years
1987  through  1991,  OPM sent a draft audit  report  to  the  Company
alleging  certain  defective  rating  practices  in  certain  regions.
Following  its  evaluation  of the draft  audit  report,  the  Company
indicated  to  OPM certain areas where it believed the  report  to  be
inaccurate  or  based on misconceptions.  Also, the Company  evaluated
the  availability of offsets and established reserves pending issuance
of  a  final audit report or further correspondence from OPM.  A final
audit report has not been issued as of the date hereof and the Company
received  no further correspondence from the Government regarding  the
draft audit report until the third quarter of fiscal year 1996.

    In  the  third  quarter  of fiscal year 1996,  the  United  States
Department of Justice notified the Company that based on the OPM draft
audit  report  and  discussions  with OPM  personnel,  the  Government
believed  that the Company may have violated the False Claims  Act  in
its  certifications to OPM that the FEHBP received community rates for
health  care services provided in certain regions during 1987  through
1991.   No  action has been commenced by the Government, although  the
Government  asserted  in correspondence with the Company  dated  April
25,1996 that, at that time, the Government believed its actual damages
to  be  approximately $15 million.  In False Claims Act  actions,  the
Government may seek trebled damages, and a civil penalty of  not  less
than  $5,000  nor  more than $10,000 for each separate  alleged  false
claim.   The  Government  has indicated that  it  does  not  have  any
information  that  would lead it to believe that the Company  violated
any criminal laws.

NOTE 6.  Restructuring Charge

    In  June,  1995,  the  Company's Board  of  Directors  approved  a
restructuring  plan  involving  the  discontinuance  of  services  and
programs that do not meet the Company's strategic and economic  return
objectives, a reduction in workforce, and the creation of a subsidiary
physician  practice  management company,  Talbert  Medical  Management
Corporation ("TMMC").  TMMC became operational January 1, 1996.

    The Board of Directors also decided to sell the Company's Fountain
Valley,  California  hospital campus and  its  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah
hospital campus and other nonproductive real estate. The Company  sold
its Fountain Valley, California hospital campus for gross proceeds  of
$87  million.   The gross proceeds were deposited in escrow  and  were
released to the Company April 1, 1996.  The receivable created by this
escrow  has been included in prepaid expenses and other current assets
in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, as of March 31, 1996.

    During  the  six  months  ended December  31,  1995,  the  Company
recorded  a pretax restructuring charge of approximately $9.7  million
($6.0 million, net of tax) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements
of  Income.   No  additional charge was recorded in the  three  months
ended  March 31, 1996.  Assets identified as those to be sold as  part
of the restructuring have been reclassified as assets held for sale in
the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 1996, and
June 30, 1995.

      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  
Business Restructuring

    In  June,  1995,  FHP  International  Corporation  ("FHP"  or  the
"Company")  announced  an internal restructuring  (the  "Restructuring
Plan")  of  its operations.  The Restructuring Plan was formulated  in
response  to the intensely competitive environment in the HMO industry
and  continued  declining membership in its Company  operated  medical
facilities.  The  Restructuring Plan consisted of the  sale  or  other
disposition of the Company's owned and operated hospitals and other in
patient  facilities;  certain  nonproductive  real  estate  and  other
assets;  a reduction in the Company's work force; and the creation  of
three  distinct business segments: 1) a physician practice  management
company,  Talbert  Medical  Management Corporation  ("TMMC");  2)  the
contract  model health maintenance organization ("HMO");  and  3)  the
Company's  group  life, health and accident and workers'  compensation
insurance and related products (collectively, the "Insurance  Group").
Costs associated with restructuring, including administrative facility
closure  costs  and  employee separation  costs,  resulted  in  pretax
charges against earnings of approximately $75.1 million in the  fourth
quarter of fiscal year 1995, and $5.8 million and $3.9 million in  the
first  and  second  quarters of fiscal year 1996,  respectively.   Net
proceeds available from the sales of assets are being used for various
corporate purposes including the reduction of indebtedness.

    The  Company  has made the following progress with regard  to  the
Restructuring Plan:

     Disposition of Assets

       Proceeds  of approximately $87 million for the sale  of  the
       Company's Fountain Valley, California, hospital campus  were
       released  from escrow on April 1, 1996. The transaction  was
       recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 1996  and  had no
       material  affect  on operating results  for  the  second quarter.
       The  campus includes primary and  specialty  care
       medical   clinics  and  other  buildings.  The   transaction
       included the lease of the primary and specialty care clinics by
       TMMC.
       
       In April, 1996, the Company signed an agreement for the sale of
       its acute care hospital and surrounding campus located in Salt
       Lake  City, Utah for approximately $70 million,  which
       approximates  its  recorded value.  The  campus  includes  a
       specialty care medical clinic, which will be leased by TMMC. The
       transaction is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of
       fiscal  year 1996, subject to receipt of all  regulatory
       approvals   and   the   completion  of   certain   ancillary
       agreements.
       
       The  Company transferred the operations of its two sub acute in-
       patient  facilities to other operators during the  second
       and  third quarters of fiscal year 1996.  Progress has  been
       made  on  sales  of  other assets and certain  vacant  land;
       however,  some real estate and undeveloped land  may  remain
       unsold at year end.

     Work Force Reductions

       Between June, 1995, and March, 1996, the Company reduced its
       workforce  by approximately 2,000 employees.  The reductions
       included approximately 200 employees at sub-acute facilities
       transferred   to  other  operators  and  approximately   700
       employees as a result of the sale of the Company's  Fountain
       Valley hospital.
       
       
     TMMC

       The  Restructuring  Plan  included  the  creation  of  TMMC,
       operational  January  1, 1996, as a new  subsidiary  of  the
       Company,   together  with  the  creation  of   several   new
       professional corporations (the "PCs").  Approximately  4,100
       of   the   Company's   employees,  including   health   care
       professionals, became employees of TMMC or  of  the  PCs  on
       January 1, 1996.  Also: 1) TMMC leased or subleased  all  of
       the Company's medical centers and related assets located  in
       California, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Nevada; and 2) the
       Company's HMO contracted with the PCs to provide health care
       services  to approximately 20% of the Company's HMO  members
       who  were  already  receiving health  care  in  the  medical
       centers.  The contractual arrangements between the Company's
       HMO   and  the  PCs  are  financially  similar  to  existing
       contracts  between  the HMO and other contract  health  care
       providers.   Also,  the  PCs  have  entered  into  long-term
       practice  management agreements with TMMC, thereby  enabling
       the  PCs and TMMC to do business with other payors and HMOs,
       as  well  as  with  the Company's HMO.   These  third  party
       arrangements  allow TMMC to utilize excess capacity  in  the
       medical centers.
       
       
                   Three Months Ended March 31, 1996
           Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 1995
                                   
Revenue and Membership

    The  Company  generates  substantially all  of  its  revenue  from
premiums received for health care services provided to the HMO members
of  its  wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Total revenue for the three-month
period  ended March 31, 1996, was $1,061 million increasing 6.0%  over
revenue  of  $1,001 million for the same period in the previous  year.
The   Company's   commercial  and  senior  enrollment  each   generate
approximately  half  of  the  Company's HMO  revenue.   The  Company's
ability  to increase its commercial HMO premium rates during the  last
two  fiscal  years and the first three fiscal quarters of fiscal  year
1996  has  been adversely impacted by intense competition in  all  the
Company's  major  markets, particularly in California.   In  addition,
certain  large  employer groups and other purchasers  of  health  care
services continue to demand minimal increases or reductions in premium
rates.  Downward pressure on premium rates is expected to continue  in
fiscal  year  1996  in all of the Company's major  service  areas.   A
substantial  portion  of  the Company's HMO  commercial  premium  rate
increases becomes effective in January of each year.

     Total  HMO  membership  grew 6.6% to approximately  1,902,000  at
March  31, 1996, from approximately 1,784,000 at March 31, 1995.   The
membership  growth rate of 6.6% shows improvement over  the  quarterly
year-over-year growth rates of the Company's membership for the  first
and   second  quarters  of  fiscal  year  1996,  of  4.5%  and   5.1%,
respectively.  (Notwithstanding, the Company's growth rate  is  slower
than the HMO industry in general.)

     From  March  31,  1995,  to  March  31,  1996,  total  commercial
membership increased by 97,000 or 6.9% from approximately 1,414,000 to
approximately  1,511,000.  The  Company's  ability  to  increase   its
commercial membership during the last two fiscal years and  the  first
nine months of fiscal year 1996 has been adversely impacted by intense
competition  in  all  the  Company's major  markets,  particularly  in
California.

    Senior  membership grew by 21,000 or 5.7% to approximately 391,000
at  March 31, 1996, from approximately 370,000 at March 31, 1995.   In
the  third quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Company experienced slight
declines  from  the  second  quarter of fiscal  year  1996  in  senior
membership  in  California and Utah, offset by gains in other  markets
(primarily Arizona, Colorado and Texas).  Almost all of the  Company's
senior  HMO revenue is generated from premiums paid to the Company  by
the Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA").  Revenue per senior
member  is  substantially higher than revenue  per  commercial  member
because  senior  members use substantially more health care  services.
In  September  of each year, HCFA announces the annual  Medicare  rate
increases  that  will become effective on January 1 of the  subsequent
year.   These rate increases vary geographically and become the  basis
for  determining  the amounts that HCFA will pay to the  Company.  For
calendar year 1996, the Company received an average 5.1% rate increase
(for  calendar  year 1995, the Company received an average  5.8%  rate
increase).

Cost of Health Care

    Health  care costs grew 8.4% to $892 million for the three  months
ended  March  31, 1996, from $823 million for the three  months  ended
March  31, 1995, due to operational growth and cost increases.  Health
care  costs  increased as a percentage of revenue  by  1.9  percentage
points,  to  84.1% from 82.2% for the same three month period  in  the
prior  fiscal  year.   The increase as a percent of  revenue  resulted
primarily  from lower average commercial premium rates in  almost  all
states  in which the Company operates and higher pharmacy and hospital
costs.

General, Administrative and Marketing Costs

    General, administrative and marketing ("G & A") expenses  grew  by
$3  million  or 2.4% to $130 million for the three month period  ended
March  31,  1996, from $127 million for the three month  period  ended
March  31, 1995.  The increase is primarily the result of higher sales
and  marketing  costs, offset by cost savings from  earlier  workforce
reductions  and  other  cost  controls.   Further  reductions  in  the
Company's  work force may take place in the fourth quarter  of  fiscal
year 1996.  G & A expenses for the three month period ended March  31,
1996, decreased as a percentage of revenue to 12.2% from 12.7% for the
same period in the prior fiscal year.

OPM

   Background

    In  the  third quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Company  increased
reserves  by  recording a pretax charge of $45 million in anticipation
of negotiations to address potential governmental claims for the years
1987  through 1991, discussed below, which may be asserted in relation
to  the Company's contracts with the United States Office of Personnel
Management  ("OPM") and for possible OPM claims for  subsequent  years
through  1995.   The addition to reserves resulted in a third  quarter
charge to earnings of $0.68 per primary share.

    The  Company's HMO subsidiaries have contracts with OPM to provide
or  arrange  managed health care services under the Federal  Employees
Health Benefits Program ("FEHBP")for federal employees, annuitants and
their  dependents.  Periodically, the Company's HMO  subsidiaries  are
subject  to  audits by the Government to, among other  things,  verify
that   premiums  charged  under  OPM  contracts  are  established   in
compliance  with  community rating and other  requirements  under  the
FEHBP.   Final  reports from such audits may recommend that  OPM  seek
monetary  recoveries  from  the  Company  for  amounts  that  may   be
substantial.   As previously disclosed, in May 1993, after  conducting
an audit of the Company's FEHBP contracts covering primarily the years
1987  through  1991,  OPM sent a draft audit  report  to  the  Company
alleging  certain  defective  rating  practices  in  certain  regions.
Following  its  evaluation  of the draft  audit  report,  the  Company
indicated  to  OPM certain areas where it believed the  report  to  be
inaccurate  or  based on misconceptions.  Also, the Company  evaluated
the  availability of offsets and established reserves pending issuance
of  a  final audit report or further correspondence from OPM.  A final
audit report has not been issued as of the date hereof and the Company
received  no further correspondence from the Government regarding  the
draft audit report until the third quarter of fiscal year 1996.

    In  the  third  quarter  of fiscal year 1996,  the  United  States
Department of Justice notified the Company that based on the OPM draft
audit  report  and  discussions  with OPM  personnel,  the  Government
believed  that the Company may have violated the False Claims  Act  in
its  certifications to OPM that the FEHBP received community rates for
health  care services provided in certain regions during 1987  through
1991.   No  action has been commenced by the Government, although  the
Government  asserted  in correspondence with the Company  dated  April
25,1996 that, at that time, the Government believed its actual damages
to  be  approximately $15 million.  In False Claims Act  actions,  the
Government may seek trebled damages, and a civil penalty of  not  less
than  $5,000  nor  more than $10,000 for each separate  alleged  false
claim.   The  Government  has indicated that  it  does  not  have  any
information  that  would lead it to believe that the Company  violated
any criminal laws.

OPM

   Outlook

    The  Company intends to negotiate with the Government to determine
whether  it  is possible to resolve these matters without  litigation.
While  there  is  no  assurance that negotiations  will  be  concluded
satisfactorily  or  that additional liability will  not  be  incurred,
management  does  not believe that additional liability  incurred,  if
any, in excess of reserves established in connection with the ultimate
outcome  of these matters is likely to have a material adverse  effect
on  the  consolidated financial position or results of  operations  or
cash  flows  of  the  Company.  In addition, the Company's  management
currently  does not believe that the allegations will have a  material
effect on future relations with OPM.

    In  addition, OPM has opened two audits for years as far  back  as
1990  at  two  of  the  Company's other HMO  subsidiaries.   Based  on
positions taken by the Government with respect to the 1987-1991  draft
audit  report, management believes that the two open audits may allege
defective  rating practices and result in claims for adjustments  from
OPM  and  management believes other possible future audits may  allege
defective  rating practices and result in claims for adjustments  from
OPM.  Such claims could be for substantial amounts.  Management cannot
determine  if  such claims would result in further  referrals  to  the
Department of Justice and further False Claims Act claims.

    The Company's reserves reflect management's recognition that FEHBP
rate audits, and claims based thereon are being handled differently by
the Government than in the past and reflect the extent of business the
Company has conducted with OPM over many years.  Based on management's
understanding  of  the  Government's  current  interpretation  of  the
community rating standard requirements in the context of the 1987-1991
draft  OPM  audit report, the Company believes that it has established
adequate reserves to settle any claims that may arise from present  or
future  FEHBP  rate audits for past years, or that if  any  amount  in
excess of reserves is necessary to settle any such claims, the amounts
would  not  be  such  as  to have a material  adverse  effect  on  the
consolidated financial position or results of operations or cash flows
of the Company.

    The  preceding paragraphs in this section headed "OPM  -  Outlook"
consist of forward looking statements.  The actual outcome of any  OPM
audits,  claims  for adjustments and/or False Claim  Act  claims,  the
manner  in  which  and  amounts for which  any  such  claims  will  be
resolved,  and  the  adequacy of reserves may differ  materially  from
management's  current  expectation.   Factors  that  could  cause  the
resolution  of  these matters to differ materially  from  management's
current expectation include the presentation by the Government of  new
interpretations of FEHBP requirements, the presentation  of  new  data
relating  to  the  determination of applicable rates  changes  in  the
manner in which the Government seeks to apply the False Claims Act  to
such  situations, and/or a change in the Government's position  toward
negotiated settlements of False Claim Act claims.


Interest Income

    Net  interest  income was $4 million for the  three  month  period
ended  March  31, 1996, as compared to $2 million for the three  month
period ended March 31, 1995.  Net interest income increased year-over
year  because  of growth in the Company's investment portfolio,  lower
outstanding debt and higher interest rates earned on investments.


                   Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996
           Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 1995
                                   
Revenue and Membership

    Revenue  for  the nine month period ended March 31, 1996,  totaled
$3,082 million, increasing 5.9% over revenue of $2,910 million for the
same  period  in  the  previous fiscal year.  Membership  and  revenue
growth  have both been constrained by intense competition in  all  the
Company's major markets and by downward pressure on commercial premium
rate increases.

Cost of Health Care

    Health  care costs grew 8.4% to $2,603 million for the  nine-month
period  ended  March 31, 1996, from $2,401 million for the  comparable
nine-month  period ended March 31, 1995. Health care costs during  the
nine-month  period ended March 31, 1996, increased to 84.5%  of  total
revenue  from  82.5% of total revenue for the same period  last  year.
Cost  of  health  care  has been increasing relative  to  revenues  as
competitive  pressures  have  slowed  the  growth  of  the   Company's
revenues.  Also, the Company has been experiencing higher health  care
costs in almost all its major markets.

General, Administrative and Marketing Costs

    G & A expenses grew 0.5% to $383 million for the nine-month period
ended  March  31, 1996, from $381 million for the same period  in  the
previous  year.  The small increase was  primarily due to  operational
growth   offset  by  cost  reductions  resulting  from  the  Company's
Restructuring  Plan.  G & A expenses were 12.4% of total  revenue  for
the  nine-month  period ended March 31, 1996, versus  13.1%  of  total
revenue for the comparable period in the previous year.

Interest Income

    Net  interest  income  was $10 million for the  nine-month  period
ended  March 31, 1996, compared to $4 million for the same  period  in
the  previous fiscal year.  Net interest income increased  $6  million
year-over-year  primarily as the result of  growth  in  the  Company's
investment portfolio, lower outstanding debt and higher interest rates
earned on investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The  Company's consolidated cash, cash equivalents and  short-term
investments  decreased by $146 million to $310 million  at  March  31,
1996,  from $456 million at June 30, 1995.  The decrease reflects  the
impact  of  timing  differences  in receipt  of  HCFA  premiums.   The
Company's  June 30, 1995 cash balances included the early  receipt  of
approximately $152 million of premiums from HCFA for medical  services
to  be  provided to senior members in July, 1995.  The Company's  cash
balances at March 31, 1996, did not include any early receipt of  HCFA
premiums.   The early receipt of HCFA premiums in June and the  normal
receipt of HCFA premiums in April caused the Company to be an apparent
net cash user during the period. Sources of cash during the nine month
period  ended  March  31, 1996, included $79 million  from  operations
(excluding  the  effect  of  timing differences  in  receipt  of  HCFA
premiums), $6 million from the sale of substantially all of the assets
of  Ultralink, Inc. and net transfers of $7 million from long-term and
restricted  investments.  Uses of cash during the period included  $41
million  for  capital  expenditures, $20 million for  preferred  stock
dividends, and $53 million of debt repayment. On March 29,  1996,  the
Company sold the operations of Ultralink, Inc., an indirect subsidiary
which coordinated managed health care for national commercial accounts
through a network of HMOs.  The transaction had no material impact  on
earnings.   On  April 1, 1996, the Company received approximately  $87
million  of proceeds from escrow for the sale of its Fountain  Valley,
California,  hospital campus.  The funds were used primarily  for  the
reduction of debt.

    The Company entered into a $350 million Credit Agreement in March,
1994.   The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for a $200  million
Revolving  Credit  Loan  and a $150 million  Term  Loan.  The  Company
borrows at rates based on LIBOR rate borrowings which currently  range
between 5.8% and 6.1%.  The Term  Loan is repayable at the rate of $15
million every six months, with the final repayment due March 31, 2000.
The Credit Agreement contains financial and other covenants, including
limitations  on  indebtedness, liens, dividends, sale  and  lease-back
transactions, and certain other transactions.

    The  Company's ability to make a payment on, or repayment of,  its
obligations under ten-year Senior Notes carrying interest at 7% issued
in 1993 (the "Notes"), the Credit Agreement and its Preferred Stock is
significantly dependent upon the receipt of funds by the Company  from
the  Company's  direct  and  indirect subsidiaries.  These  subsidiary
payments represent: (a) fees for management services rendered  by  the
Company   to  the  subsidiaries;  and  (b)  cash  dividends   by   the
subsidiaries  to  the  Company.  Nearly all of  the  subsidiaries  are
subject  to  HMO regulations or insurance regulations (the  "Regulated
Subsidiaries").   Each  of  the Regulated Subsidiaries  must  meet  or
exceed  various  fiscal  standards  imposed  by  HMO  regulations   or
insurance regulations.  These fiscal standards may, from time to time,
impact  the  amount  of  funds paid by one or more  of  the  Regulated
Subsidiaries to the Company.

     The  Company  believes  the payments  referred  to  above  by  the
Regulated   Subsidiaries,  together  with  other  financing   sources,
including  the  Credit Agreement, should be sufficient to  enable  the
Company  to  meet its payment obligations under the Notes, the  Credit
Agreement  and  the Company's Preferred Stock.  The  Company  believes
that cash flow from operations, the Credit Agreement and existing cash
balances will be sufficient to continue to fund operations and capital
expenditures for the foreseeable future.

     The  anticipated  sale  of the Company's  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah,
hospital  in  the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1996 for approximately
$70  million will generate additional net cash to the Company.   These
proceeds, should be available to the Company before the end of  fiscal
year 1996.  Cash generated from sales under the Restructuring Plan  is
being  used for various corporate purposes including the reduction  of
indebtedness.

  Effects of Regulatory Changes and Inflation

      Effective January 1, 1996, the Company received an average premium
  rate  increase  from  HCFA of approximately 5.1% for  its  senior  HMO
  members.   Over  calendar years 1994 and 1995, annual  senior  premium
  increases  from  HCFA were approximately 2.0% and 5.8%,  respectively.
  The  Company  evaluates the effects of HCFA premium adjustments on its
  liquidity  and  capital  resources, and incorporates  the  actual  and
  anticipated impact of such adjustments into its planning process.

      The  Company has been experiencing significant downward  pressures
  on  commercial  HMO  premium  rates, due to  intense  competition  and
  counter-inflationary measures by large commercial employers attempting
  to hold their costs down.  There can be no assurances that the Company
  will be able to obtain premium rate increases in the commercial sector
  in the short term.  Also, the Company is experiencing some competitive
  pressures in its senior markets, including California.

      In  recent  years  health care costs have been rising  at  a  rate
  higher  than  that  for  consumer goods as a whole,  as  a  result  of
  inflation, new technology and medical advances.  The Company  believes
  that   internal  cost  control  measures  and  financial  risk-sharing
  arrangements with its contract medical providers help to mitigate  the
  effects  of  inflation on its operations; however,  there  can  be  no
  assurance  that  the Company's efforts to reduce  the  impact  of  the
  increasing cost of health care will be as successful in the future  as
  they have been in the past.

                        PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
                                     
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

           Information relating to certain litigation as set forth in  
        Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of
        this report is incorporated herein by this reference.

           In  the  third quarter of fiscal year 1996, the United  States
        Department  of Justice notified the Registrant that, based  on  a
        draft  United States Office of Personnel Management ("OPM") audit
        report  of  certain  of  the  Registrant's  contracts  with   OPM
        covering   primarily  the  years  1987  through   1991   and   on
        discussions with OPM personnel, the Government believed that  the
        Registrant  may  have  violated  the  False  Claims  Act  in  its
        certifications to OPM during certain contract years.   No  action
        has  been  commenced by the Government, although  the  Government
        asserted  in correspondence with the Registrant dated  April  26,
        1996  that,  at  the  time, the Government  believed  its  actual
        damages  to  be approximately $15 million.  In False  Claims  Act
        actions,  the  Government  may seek  trebled  damages  and  civil
        penalty  of not less than $5,000 nor more than $10,000  for  each
        separate  alleged false claim. See "Management's  Discussion  and
        Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - OPM"

                   EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


   AGREEMENT by and between FHP International Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company") and                    (the "Executive"),
dated as of the 1st day of February, 1996.  For all purposes of this Agreement,
employment with the Company shall include employment with any of its
affiliated companies.

   The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), has determined that
it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that
the Company will have the continued dedication of the Executive,
notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as
defined below) of the Company.

   NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

  1.  Certain Definitions.  

     (a)  The "Effective Date" shall mean the first date during the Change
of Control Period (as defined in Section 1(b)) on which a Change of Control (as
defined in Section 2) occurs.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, if a Change of Control occurs and if the Executive's
employment with the Company is terminated prior to the date on which the
Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the
Executive that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a
third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of
Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change
of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the "Effective Date" shall
mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employ-
ment.

     (b)  The "Change of Control Period" shall mean the period commencing
on the date hereof and ending on the second anniversary of the date hereof; 

  2.  Change of Control.   For the purpose of this Agreement, a "Change of
Control" shall mean:

     (a)The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or
more of either (i) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company
(the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (ii) the combined voting power
of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting

pose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result
of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or
removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or

rities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan
(or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such

  3.  Employment Period.  The Company hereby agrees to continue the
Executive in its employ, and the Executive hereby agrees to remain in the
employ of the Company subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the third
anniversary of such date (the "Employment Period").

  4.  Terms of Employment.  

     (a)  Position and Duties.  
  
        (i) During the Employment Period, the Executive's position
     (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority,
     duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all
     material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and
     assigned at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding
     the Effective Date.

        (ii)  During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of
     vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the
     Executive agrees to devote reasonable attention and time during
     normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and,
     to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the
     Executive hereunder, to use the Executive's reasonable best efforts to
     perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities.  During the
     Employment Period it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for
     the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or
     committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach
     at educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so
     long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the
     performance of the Executive's responsibilities as an employee of the
     Company in accordance with this Agreement.  To the extent that any
     such activities have been conducted by the Executive prior to the
     Effective Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct
     of activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the
     Effective Date shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the
     performance of the Executive's responsibilities to the Company.

     (b)  Compensation.  

        (i)  Base Salary.  During the Employment Period, the Executive
     shall receive an annual base salary ("Annual Base Salary"), which
     shall be paid at a monthly rate, at least equal to twelve times the
     highest monthly base salary paid or payable, including any base salary
     which has been earned but deferred, to the Executive by the Company
     and its affiliated companies in respect of the twelve-month period
     immediately preceding the month in which the Effective Date occurs. 
     During the Employment Period, the Annual Base Salary shall be
     reviewed no more than 12 months after the last salary increase
     awarded to the Executive prior to the Effective Date and thereafter at
     least annually.  Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to
     limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this
     Agreement.  Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such
     increase and the term Annual Base Salary as utilized in this
     Agreement shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased.  As used
     in this Agreement, the term "affiliated companies" shall include any
     company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the
     Company.

        (ii)  Other Benefits.  During the Employment Period, the Executive
     shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings, retirement,
     welfare benefit, vacation and sick leave plans, practices, policies and
     programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company
     and its affiliated companies.

  5.  Termination of Employment.  

     (a)  Death or Disability.  The Executive's employment shall terminate
automatically upon the Executive's death during the Employment Period.  If
the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has
occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of
Disability set forth below), it may give to the Executive written notice in
accordance with Section 12(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate
the Executive's employment.  In such event, the Executive's employment with
the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such
notice by the Executive (the "Disability Effective Date"), provided that, within
the 30 days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-
time performance of the Executive's duties.  For purposes of this Agreement,
"Disability" shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive's
duties with the Company on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days
as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined
to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its
insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive's legal rep-
resentative.

     (b)  Cause.  The Company may terminate the Executive's employment
during the Employment Period for Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement,
"Cause" shall mean:

        (i)  the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform
     substantially the Executive's duties with the Company or one of its
     affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to
     physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial
     performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board or the Chief
     Executive Officer of the Company which specifically identifies the
     manner in which the Board or Chief Executive Officer believes that
     the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive's duties,
     or

        (ii)  the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or
     gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to
     the Company.

For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the
Executive, shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be
done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the
Executive's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company.  Any
act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly
adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer
or a senior officer of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel for the
Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by
the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.  The
cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause
unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a
resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters
of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and
held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and
the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before
the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive
is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and
specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

     (c)  Good Reason.  The Executive's employment may be terminated by
the Executive for Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Good
Reason" shall mean:

        (i)the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in
     any material respect with the Executive's position (including status,
     offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or
     responsibilities as contemplated by Section 4(a) of this Agreement, or
     any other action by the Company which results in material diminution
     in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities;

        (ii)any failure by the Company to comply with any of the
     provisions of Section 4(b) of this Agreement, other than an isolated
     insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and
     which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice
     thereof given by the Executive;

        (iii)  any purported termination by the Company of the Executive's
     employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement;
     or

        (iv)any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section
     10(c) of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 5(c), any controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to any determination of "Good Reason" made by the Executive shall
be settled by arbitration on Orange County, California, in accordance with the
following:

        (v)  Each party shall appoint its own arbitrator and the two
     arbitrators shall choose a third, impartial arbitrator as umpire before
     the date set for the hearing.  If a party fails to appoint its arbitrator
     within 30 days after have either received or given the notice
     requesting arbitration, the other shall appoint the second arbitrator. 
     If the two arbitrators fail to appoint the umpire without 30 days after
     their appointments, either party may apply to the Orange County
     Superior Court of the State of California to appoint an impartial
     umpire.  The umpire shall promptly notify all parties to the arbitration
     of his selection.  

        (vi)  The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the provisions
     of the California Code of Civil Procedure, including the rules
     pertaining to discovery.

        (vii)  Within a reasonable time after completion of the arbitration,
     the arbitrators shall prepare a written opinion, a copy of which shall
     be provided to each party.  

        (viii)  The parties shall share equally the expenses of arbitration,
     including the arbitrator's fee, provided, however, that the arbitrators,
     in their discretion, may award costs to the prevailing party.

     (d)  Notice of Termination.  Any termination by the Company for
Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice
of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 12(c)
of this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination"
means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision
in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated
and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date
of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall
be not more than thirty days after the giving of such notice).  The failure by
the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact
or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall
not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder
or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such
fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive's or the Company's rights
hereunder.

     (e)  Date of Termination.  "Date of Termination" means (i) if the
Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the
Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or
any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive's
employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability,
the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies the
Executive of such termination, and (iii) if the Executive's employment is
terminated by reason of Death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be
the date of Death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case
may be.

  6.  Obligations of the Company or Executive upon Termination.  

     (a)Good Reason; Other Than for Cause, Death or Disability.  If,
during the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate the Executive's
employment other than for Cause, Death or Disability or the Executive shall
terminate employment for Good Reason, such termination, for purposes of this
Section 6(a), shall constitute separation from, and cessation of duties for, the
Company as of the Date of Termination.  Under such circumstances, the
Company shall pay to the Executive the following payments and benefits:

        (i)Bi-weekly salary continuation at the Executive's Annual Base
     Salary as if the Executive had remained employed through the end of
     the Employment Period; 

        (ii)Medical and Dental Coverage continuation as if the Executive
     had remained employed through the end of the Employment Period at
     the Executive's benefit level as of the Date of Termination;  

        (iii) Life Insurance Coverage continuation through the end of the
     Employment Period at the Executive's current benefit level as of the
     Date of Termination;

        (iv)Outplacement services consistent with the Company's
     outplacement policy for a person at the Executive's job classification
     and/or grade level;

        (v)A payment on the last day of the Employment Period in an
     amount equal to the sum of (A) the additional contributions that would
     have been allocated to Executive's accounts under the FHP
     International Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") and the
     FHP Money Purchase Pension Plan if the Executive had remained
     employed through the end of the Employment Period and deferred the
     maximum pretax deferral allowed under the terms of the ESOP (after
     the application of the limitations on deferrals set forth in the ESOP)
     and (B) the amount of any benefits under the ESOP which were
     forfeited upon termination of employment but which would have
     become vested if the Executive had remained employed through the
     end of the Employment Period;

        (vi)Payment within 30 days of the Date of Termination of all
     accrued vacation, holiday and personal leave days as of the Date of
     Termination; and 

        (vii) Payment of any unpaid incentive compensation that Executive
     earned through the Date of Termination in accordance with the terms
     of any applicable incentive compensation plan.

     The Company reserves the right to deduct from any applicable sum
those amounts required by law.  Any monies owed to the Company by
Executive may be deducted from the Amounts payable pursuant to this Section
6(a).  All accruals of vacation, holiday and personal leave days shall end
effective the Date of Termination.  The payments called for in this Section 6(a)
shall be in lieu of and discharge any obligations of Company to Executive for
compensation, accrued vacation, accrued personal leave days, accrued holidays,
incentive compensation, car allowances or any other expectations of
remuneration or benefit on the part of the Executive.

     (b)  Death.  If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of
the Executive's death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall
terminate without further obligations to the Executive's legal representatives
under this Agreement, other than for payment of accrued obligations and the
timely payment or provision of other benefits under any plan, program, policy
or practice of the Company in accordance with the terms of such plan,
program, policy or practice (the "Other Benefits").  Accrued obligations shall
be paid to the Executive's estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum
in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination.  

     (c) Disability.  If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason
of the Executive's Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement
shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for
payment of accrued obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other
Benefits.  Accrued obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in
cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination.  

     (d)  Cause; Other than for Good Reason.  If the Executive's
employment shall be terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this
Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive other
than the obligation to pay to the Executive (x) his Annual Base Salary through
the Date of Termination, (y) the amount of any compensation previously
deferred by the Executive, and (z) Other Benefits, in each case to the extent
theretofore unpaid.  If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment
during the Employment Period, excluding a termination for Good Reason, this
Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other
than for accrued obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other
Benefits.  In such case, all accrued obligations shall be paid to the Executive
in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination.

     (e)  Acceleration of Options.  The Board of Directors has determined
that the events described in Section 2 hereof will constitute a "Change of
Control of the Company" for purposes of Section 13(e) of the Incentive Plan (as
defined below).  Therefore, if the Executive's employment is terminated other
than voluntarily or for Cause, Death or Disability prior to the end of the
Employment Period, then, subject to Section 11 of this Agreement, all of the
Executive's outstanding Option Rights under, and as defined in, the FHP
International Corporation Amended and Restated Executive Incentive Plan
(the "Incentive Plan") which have not otherwise become exercisable shall
become immediately exercisable in full on the Date of Termination, and all
substantial risks of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer relating to any of
the Executive's shares of Restricted Stock under, and as defined in, the
Incentive Plan shall be terminated on the Date of Termination.  For purposes of
this provision, any termination of the Executive's employment other than
voluntarily or for Cause, Death or Disability shall be deemed to be a
termination for the convenience of the Board; accordingly, any Option Rights
granted to the Executive which are or become exercisable as of the Date of
Termination shall terminate 90 days after the Date of Termination.

     (f)Duty to Cooperate.  During the Employment Period and thereafter,
Executive agrees to cooperate with and assist the Company, upon reasonable
notice, in the defense of any litigation or governmental investigation arising
from events which occurred while Executive was employed by the Company. 
Such cooperation and assistance shall include, but not be limited to,
Executive's full participation in locating, producing, collecting, analyzing and
preparing documents and other informational materials; in preparing for and
participating in depositions, hearings and trials; and in responding to
document production requests, interrogatories, and other discovery.  If it
becomes necessary for Executive to testify in any judicial or administrative
proceedings, the Company shall reimburse Executive for any reasonable travel
expenses (including transportation, food and lodging) which are incurred (or
are to be incurred) in connection with such testimony (including preparation
therefor).  The Company shall not be required to pay Executive any additional
consideration, including, but not limited to, consulting or witness fees, in
connection with any cooperation, assistance or testimony required of or
provided by Executive pursuant to this Agreement.  In addition, from the Date
of Termination to the end of the Employment Period, the Executive shall
devote a reasonable amount of time cooperating with and assisting the
Company in maintaining and improving its relationships with its customers.

  7.  Non-exclusivity of Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or
limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any plan, program,
policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies
and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 12(f), shall
anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may
have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its
affiliated companies.  Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive
is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of
or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated
companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in
accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or
agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

  8.  Full Settlement.  Except as stated herein, the Company's obligation to
make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform
its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may
have against the Executive or others.  In no event shall the Executive be
obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of
mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions
of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the
Executive obtains other employment.  

  9.  Confidential Information.  The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary
capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information,
knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies,
and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the
Executive during the Executive's employment by the Company or any of its
affiliated companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other
than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation
of this Agreement).  After termination of the Executive's employment with the
Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate
or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than
the Company and those designated by it.  

  10.  Successors.  (a)  This Agreement is personal to the Executive and
without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by
the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Executive's legal representatives.

     (b)  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the Company and its successors and assigns.

     (c)  The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume
expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place.  As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean
the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or
assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by
operation of law, or otherwise.

  11.Certain Reduction of Payments by the Company. 

     (a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6 of this
Agreement or the Incentive Plan (as defined in Section 6(e) above), in no event
shall an Option Right become immediately exercisable or the risks of forfeiture
and restrictions relating to Restricted Stock terminate under the Incentive
Plan upon the Executive's Date of Termination if such acceleration would
(i) cause any payment made to the Executive, whether pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement or otherwise (a "Payment") to constitute an "excess parachute
payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or (ii) disqualify the transaction
constituting the Change of Control from being accounted for as a "pooling of
interests" within the meaning of APB No. 16, which would qualify for such
accounting treatment in the absence of such acceleration (the
"Disqualification").  In the event acceleration of any Option Rights would
cause any Payment to constitute an excess parachute payment, or would cause a
Disqualification, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors shall select the Option Rights which shall remain unexercisable so
that no Payment shall constitute an excess parachute payment and/or no
Disqualification shall occur.  Any Option Rights which remain unexercisable
upon the Executive's Date of Termination by reason of this Section 11(a) shall
become exercisable as set forth in Section 11(c) below.  Any shares of
Restricted Stock which do not become vested by reason of this Section 11(a)
shall be forfeited upon the Executive's Date of Termination.

     (b)All determinations required to be made under this Section 11 as
to whether a Payment or benefit would be deductible by the Company shall be
made by the Company's independent auditors (the "Accounting Firm") which
shall provide detailed supporting information both to the Company and the
Executive within 30 business days following the Date of Termination or such
earlier time as is requested by the Company.  A determination as to whether
a Disqualification would occur shall be made by the Accounting Firm at least
10 days prior to a Change of Control.  Any such determination by the
Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive.  

     (c)In the event that any Option Right which is outstanding on the
Executive's Date of Termination has not become exercisable because of the
application of this Section 11, such Option Right shall become exercisable in
such manner and at such times as the Option Right would have become
exercisable if the Executive had not terminated employment, and the portion
of any such Option Right which becomes exercisable pursuant to this Section
11(c) shall remain exercisable until the earlier of the date which is 90 days
following the date on which the Option Right first becomes exercisable or the
original expiration date of the Option Right.  

  12.  Miscellaneous.  

     (a)This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of con-
flict of laws.  The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions

     (d) As stated, the Company may withhold from any amounts payable
under this Agreement such Federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be
required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

     (e)The Executive's or the Company's failure to insist upon strict
compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any
right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without
limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good
Reason pursuant to Section 5(c)(i)-(iv) of this Agreement, shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of
this Agreement.

     (f)The Executive and the Company acknowledge that, except as may
otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the
Executive and the Company, the employment of the Executive by the Company
is "at will" and, subject to Section 1(a) hereof, prior to the Effective Date,

the Executive or the Company at any time prior to the Effective Date, in which
case the Executive shall have no further rights under this Agreement.  

     (g)From and after the Effective Date, this Agreement shall supersede
any other agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof entered into prior to the date hereof.

     (h)This Agreement shall be void and without further force and effect
unless approved or ratified by the Company's Board of Directors.

Directors, the Company has caused these presents to be executed in its name
on its behalf, all as of the day and year first above written.

                   STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT


     THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made
and entered into as of March 15, 1996, by and among FHP International
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("FHP"), Talbert Medical Management

("Ord"), Westcott W. Price III ("Price"), Walter R. Stone ("Stone"), Margaret

Agreement, Adair, Austin, Bracciodieta, Georgopolous, Goldstein, Jacobs, Jessup,
Massimino, McNutt, Ord, Price, Stone, Van Meter and Weinstock are referred
to individually as a "Management Investor" and collectively as the
"Management Investors."

     A.   WHEREAS, FHP has formed the Company to function as
a physician practice management company to provide practice management
services to certain professional corporations; and

     B.   WHEREAS, FHP has acquired 9,100,000 shares of the Class A
Voting Common Stock of the Company,  par value $.01 (one cent) per share
(the "Class A Common Stock"), which shares of Class A Common Stock
comprise all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock
of the Company, for consideration in the amount of $91,000.00; and

     C.   WHEREAS, the Company and FHP regard the services provided
to the Company by the Management Investors as valuable to the Company and
FHP, and have determined that it would be to the advantage and in the best
interests of the Company and FHP to provide for the issuance of shares of
Class B Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01 (one cent) per share
(the "Class B Common Stock," with the Class A Common Stock and the Class
B Common Stock collectively referred to herein as the "Common Stock"), to the
Management Investors as provided for in this Agreement (i) as an inducement
to remain in the service of the Company and FHP, and (ii) as an incentive for
increased efforts during such service; and

     D.   WHEREAS, FHP desires to provide for the issuance of shares of
Class B Common Stock of the Company to the Management Investors, and the
Management Investors wish to acquire such shares from the Company, all on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises,
representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement mutually agree as
follows:

     1.   Definitions.

          1.1    Accounting Terms.  In this Agreement, "GAAP" means
     generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.  All
     accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in
     accordance with GAAP.

          1.2    Terms Generally.  The definitions in this Agreement
     shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms
     defined.  Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include
     the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms.  The words
     "include", "includes" and "including" shall be deemed to be followed by
     the phrase "without limitation" if such phrase does not actually appear. 
     The headings of Sections are inserted for convenience of reference only
     and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or
     interpretation of this Agreement.  Unless the context shall otherwise
     require, any reference to any agreement or other instrument or statute
     or regulation is to it as amended and supplemented from time to time
     (and, in the case of a statute or regulation, to any successor provision). 
     Any reference in this Agreement to a "day" or a number of "days"
     (without the explicit qualification of "business") shall be interpreted as
     a reference to a calendar day or number of calendar days.  If any action
     or notice is to be taken or given on or by a particular calendar day, and
     such calendar day is not a business day, then such action or notice shall
     be deferred until, or may be taken or given, on the next business day.

     2.   Purchase and Sale of Stock.

          2.1    Purchase and Sale.  Subject to the terms and conditions
     of this Agreement, each of the Management Investors, severally and not
     jointly, agrees to purchase, and FHP agrees to cause the Company to,
     and the Company agrees to, issue, sell and transfer to each of the
     Management Investors, severally and not jointly, at the Closing (as
     defined below), for consideration in the amount of $.01 (one cent) per
     share, the following: as to each such Management Investor, the number
     of shares of the Class B Common Stock of the Company (the "Stock") set
     forth in that certain schedule signed by each of FHP, the Company, and
     such Management Investor (each, a "Management Investor Schedule"). 
     The aggregate number of shares of Stock issued to the Management
     Investors shall be 900,000, and the Stock issued to the Management
     Investors, collectively, initially shall comprise 9% of the total
     outstanding Common Stock of the Company (the "Management Stock"). 
     Stock certificates evidencing the Management Stock, in addition to
     blank stock powers executed by each Management Investor, initially
     shall be held by the Assistant Secretary of FHP (the "Escrow Holder"),
     and shall continue to be held by the Escrow Holder for the periods set
     forth in Section 3 below, subject to the rights and limitations set forth
     in this Agreement.  All shares of Management Stock shall be fully paid
     and nonassessable shares.  Except as otherwise provided in this
     Agreement, each Management Investor shall have all rights of a
     shareholder with respect to the Management Stock, including rights to
     vote, to receive dividends (including stock dividends), to participate in
     stock splits or other recapitalizations, and to exchange such shares in
     a merger, consolidation or other reorganization or exchange of shares.

          2.2    Closing and Closing Date.  The closing of the
     transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take
     place on the date ten (10) days following the date of the execution of this
     Agreement.

     3.   Restrictions.  Subject to other limitations contained in this
Agreement, the Management Investors shall not have any right to sell, give,
pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Management Stock
(the "Restrictions") until the Restrictions lapse as provided in this Section
3.  Prior to the lapse of the Restrictions, and subject to the provisions of
Section 3.1 below, the Management Stock shall continue to be held in escrow
by the Escrow Holder and shall be deemed to be "Restricted Securities."  The
Restrictions shall lapse, and the Management Stock (and a proportional
amount of any Additional Securities (as defined herein)) shall vest, during the
period commencing on the date of the Closing and ending on July 1, 1999 (the
"Vesting Period") as follows:

          3.1    The Restrictions imposed on the Restricted Securities
     under this Section 3 shall lapse as to 25% of the shares of the
     Management Stock issued to each Management Investor on July 1 of
     each year during the Vesting Period.  Upon the lapse of the Restrictions
     on shares of the Management Stock, such shares shall cease to be
     Restricted Securities.  Within thirty (30) days after the lapse of the
     Restrictions on shares of the Management Stock, the Escrow Holder
     shall, upon receiving confirmation from the Company that the
     Management Investor's withholding obligations, if any, under Section 8
     of this Agreement have been satisfied, transmit to the Management
     Investor the certificates evidencing those shares of Management Stock
     with respect to which the Restrictions have lapsed; provided, however,
     that certificates representing shares of Management Stock which are
     subject to a Performance Purchase Option under Section 5.3, below,
     shall not be released from escrow until such time as the applicable
     Performance Purchase Option has expired without having been
     exercised.

          3.2    The occurrence of a change in control of the Company or
     FHP shall not be an event which causes Restrictions imposed upon and
     remaining applicable to Management Stock to terminate.  

     4.   Additional Securities.  Any securities received as the result of
ownership of Restricted Securities ("Additional Securities"), including, without
limitation, securities received as a stock dividend or stock split, or as a
result of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization, shall
be held by the Escrow Holder in the same manner and subject to the same
conditions as the Restricted Securities with respect to which they were
issued.  Each Management Investor shall be entitled to direct the Escrow
Holder to exercise any warrant or option received as Additional Securities
upon supplying the funds necessary to do so, in which event the securities
so purchased shall constitute Additional Securities.  In the event any
Restricted Securities or Additional Securities consist of a security by its
terms or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for another security at the
election of the holder thereof, each Management Investor may exercise any such
right or conversion or exchange, and any securities so acquired shall be deemed
Additional Securities.  

     5.   FHP Options to Purchase.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Management Stock held by the Management Investors shall be subject to the
following terms:

          5.1    Options Related to Termination of Employment.  Prior
     to the lapse of the Restrictions on any Restricted Securities, and upon
     such time as a Management Investor ceases to be employed by one of
     the Company, FHP, or an Affiliate (as defined below) of FHP, FHP shall
     have the option to purchase from such Management Investor, and such
     Management Investor shall be obligated to sell to FHP, for consideration
     in the amount of $.01 (one cent) per share (subject to Section 5.5, below),
     all or any portion of such Restricted Securities (including any Additional
     Securities issued in respect of such Restricted Securities) at the date of
     such termination of employment.  As used herein, an "Affiliate" of a
     Person (as defined in Section 9.2(a), below) shall mean a Person
     controlling, under common control with or controlled by such Person.

          5.2    Unrestricted Option.  At any time prior to October 1,
     1999, FHP shall have the option to purchase from any Management
     Investor(s), and such Management Investor(s) shall be obligated to sell
     to FHP, any or all of the Management Stock, together with any
     Additional Securities issued in respect of such Management Stock, of
     such Management Investor(s), at a price per share of $30.00 (subject to
     Section 5.5, below).

          5.3    Performance Options.  FHP shall have the option to
     purchase from any Management Investor(s), and such Management
     Investor(s) shall be obligated to sell to FHP, for consideration in the
     amount of $.01 (one cent) per share (subject to Section 5.5, below),
     certain amounts of the Management Stock, together with any Additional
     Securities issued in respect of such Management Stock, under the
     following circumstances (the "Performance Purchase Options"):

                 (a)   If the Company fails to meet the Financial Goal,
     as adjusted, for the fiscal year 1996, as approved by the Audit
     Committee of FHP's Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") in
     accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 5.3(d) below, FHP
     shall have the option to purchase from each Management Investor that
     portion of the Management Stock with respect to which the Restrictions
     lapsed on July 1, 1996 comprising 20% of the total amount of such
     Management Stock.

                 (b)   If the Company fails to meet the Financial Goal,
     as adjusted, for the fiscal year 1997, as approved by the Audit
     Committee in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 5.3(d)
     below, FHP shall have the option to purchase from each Management
     Investor that portion of the Management Stock with respect to which
     the Restrictions lapsed on July 1, 1997 comprising 20% of the total
     amount of such Management Stock.

                 (c)   If the Company fails to meet the Financial Goal,
     as adjusted, for the fiscal year 1998, as approved by the Audit
     Committee in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 5.3(d)
     below, FHP shall have the option to purchase from each Management
     Investor up to an additional 20% of the total amount of Management
     Stock pursuant to the following formula:  for every $100,000 below the
     amount which is $4 million below the Financial Goal, FHP shall have
     the option to purchase from each Management Investor 0.5% of the total
     amount of such person's Management Stock.  For example, if the
     Company's fiscal year 1998 results are $7 million below the Financial
     Goal for the fiscal year 1998, FHP may purchase additionally that
     portion of the Management Stock with respect to which the Restrictions
     lapsed on July 1, 1998 comprising 15% of the total amount of such
     Management Stock.

                 (d)   The Financial Goals for the fiscal years 1996, 1997
     and 1988 shall be as approved by the Audit Committee in accordance
     with the following guidelines:  The Financial Goal for fiscal year 1996
     will be a pretax loss of $21,784,000 (after allocation of FHP corporate
     charges and after net interest income or expense).  This pretax loss
     assumes that the Fountain Valley Hospital, Salt Lake City Hospital,
     and Westminster subacute facility (collectively the "Hospitals") were sold
     on July 1, 1995.  The Financial Goal for fiscal year 1996 will be adjusted
     to reflect the following:  (i) an adjustment will be made to include the
     budget of daily operating expenses for every day the Hospitals are not
     sold during the fiscal year (the daily expenses to be added to budget are
     as follows:  Fountain Valley - $35,271, Utah Hospital - $21,271, and
     Westminster subacute - $10,000); (ii) an adjustment will be made to
     reflect interest on any debt incurred in connection with the formation of
     the Company or lease expenses in excess of depreciation for assets
     leased from FHP or its subsidiaries.  The Financial Goal for fiscal year
     1997 will be equivalent to the Financial Goal for fiscal year 1996 (a
     pretax loss of $21,784,000) adjusted to reflect (x) the annual impact of
     adjustments under clause (ii) above and (y) an improvement of
     $20,000,000.  The Financial Goal for fiscal year 1998 will be the
     Financial Goal for fiscal year 1997 plus an improvement of $20,000,000. 
     The determination of the Financial Goal for fiscal year 1996 will be
     approved by the Audit Committee, and the initial determination of the
     Financial Goals for fiscal year 1997 and 1998 will be approved by the
     Audit Committee prior to July 1, 1996, and July 1, 1997, respectively. 
     The Audit Committee may, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith,
     adjust the Financial Goals if it determines that such adjustment is
     necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. 
     The determination as to whether the Company has met the Financial
     Goal for any particular fiscal year shall be made by the Audit
     Committee within 90 days after the end of such fiscal year (as to each
     fiscal year, the "Determination Date").  The determinations of the Audit
     Committee shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties in all
     respects.

          5.4    Mechanics of Option Exercise.

                 (a)   An option granted under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof
     shall be exercised by FHP upon 30 days' prior written notice to such
     effect to the Management Investor(s) whose shares are subject to the
     option.

                 (b)   With respect to each Performance Purchase Option
     granted under Section 5.3 hereof, FHP shall have 90 days from the
     Determination Date for such fiscal year within which to exercise the
     Performance Purchase Option for that fiscal year.

                 (c)   In the event that an option under this Section 5
     is exercised, the total purchase price for such shares shall be paid by
     bank check at the time the certificate or certificates evidencing the
     shares involved are delivered.  Delivery of the certificate or certificates
     evidencing the shares involved, properly endorsed, shall be made,
     against payment therefor, immediately after the date of exercise of the
     option granted under this Section 5, or such other time as may be
     agreed upon by the parties to such transaction.

          5.5    Certain Adjustments.  The Audit Committee may, in its
sole discretion exercised in good faith, adjust the number of shares of
Management Stock that may be purchased by FHP at any time upon the
exercise of the options provided in this Section 5, and the purchase price per
share pursuant thereto, if it determines that such adjustment is equitably
required to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of FHP or the
Management Investors, as appropriate, that otherwise would result from any
stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other
change in capital structure of the Company, merger, consolidation, spin-off,
reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, issuance of rights or warrants
to purchase securities, or any other corporate transaction or event having an
effect similar to any of the foregoing.

     6.   Drag-Along Rights and Tag-Along Rights.  The provisions of this
Section 6 shall expire at such time as there has been sold or distributed to the
public in a spin-off or in one or more underwritten public offerings pursuant
to one or more Registration Statements (as defined in Section 7) filed with, and
declared effective by, the Commission under the Securities Act (both as defined
in Section 7) an aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock of the
Company equal to at least twenty percent (20%) of the Common Stock of the
Company outstanding after the last such public offering.

          6.1    Drag-Along Rights.  If FHP proposes a transaction which
     would involve the sale or other transfer for consideration by FHP of an
     amount of shares of Common Stock of the Company, which, if completed,
     would result in a person or entity (other than FHP or its direct or
     indirect subsidiaries or affiliates) acquiring 80% or more of the shares
     of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company held by FHP (a
     "Proposed Transaction"), then FHP shall give written notice (a
     "Transaction Notice") to the Management Investors describing the
     material terms of the Proposed Transaction.  FHP shall be entitled to
     require each Management Investor to include in such Proposed
     Transaction all of such Management Investor's shares of Management
     Stock; provided, however, that no Management Investor shall be
     required to enter into any Proposed Transaction pursuant to this
     Section 6.1 unless the terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction
     provide that either (a) such Management Investor will not be required
     to participate in any indemnification of the buyer or buyers, or (b) if
     such Management Investor will participate in such indemnification, (i)
     such Management Investor's liability will be several and not joint and
     several, and (ii) such Management Investor's liability will be capped at
     the market value, determined at the time of receipt, of the net pre-tax
     proceeds to be received by such Management Investor pursuant to the
     terms of the Proposed Transaction.

          6.2    Tag-Along Rights.  In connection with any Proposed
     Transaction, each Management Investor shall have a right to include in
     such Proposed Transaction up to the number of shares of Management
     Stock computed by multiplying (i) the total number of shares of
     Common Stock of the Company proposed to be sold or otherwise
     disposed of by FHP pursuant to the Proposed Transaction by (ii) a
     fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the aggregate number of
     shares of Management Stock owned by such Management Investor and
     which are no longer subject to the Restrictions provided for in Section 3
     or the Performance Options provided for in Section 5.3 as of the close of
     business on the day immediately preceding the date of the Transaction
     Notice and the denominator of which shall equal the sum of the
     aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock of the Company
     issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis on such date.  Any
     Management Investor desiring to exercise his or her tag-along right
     must deliver a written notice of exercise to FHP within 10 days after the
     date FHP gives the Transaction Notice to such Management Investors.

          6.3    Same Terms and Conditions.  In the case of both the
     drag-along rights described in Section 6.1 and the tag-along rights
     described in Section 6.2, a sale of Management Stock by a Management
     Investor shall be at the same price per share (in both amount and
     purchase medium) applicable to the sale of the shares of Common Stock
     of the Company by FHP and otherwise shall be on terms and conditions
     at least as favorable as those applicable to FHP.

     7.   Registration Rights.

          7.1    Certain Definitions.  As used in this Section 7 and
     elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
     following respective meanings:  (a) "Commission" shall mean the
     Securities and Exchange Commission or any other Federal agency at the
     time administering the Securities Act; (b) "Exchange Act" shall mean
     the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any similar Federal statute, and
     the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same
     shall be in effect at the time; (c) "Registrable Securities" shall mean all
     Management Stock and Additional Securities held by the Management
     Investors which are no longer subject to the restrictions specified in
     Section 3 or the purchase options granted to FHP under Section 5; (d)
     "Securities Act" shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, or any similar
     Federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission
     thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time; and (e) The
     terms "register," "registered" and "registration" refer to a registration
     effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or similar
     document in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration or
     ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or document.

          7.2    Incidental Registration.

                 (a)   Right to Include Registrable Securities.  If the
     Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the
     Securities Act (other than by a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any
     successor or similar forms or filed in connection with an exchange offer
     or any offering of securities solely to the Company's existing
     stockholders), whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company
     will each such time give written notice thereof to all Management
     Investors and, upon the written request of any Management Investor
     made within 20 days after the receipt of any such notice, the Company
     will use its best efforts to effect the registration under the
     Securities Act of the Registrable Securities for which the Management
     Investor(s) has requested registration thereof;  provided, however, that
     if the Company shall determine for any reason (i) not to register such
     securities, then the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to use
     best efforts to effect registration of the Registrable Securities, or
     (ii) to delay registration of such securities, then the Company shall be
     permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities.

                 (b)   Priority in Incidental Registrations.  If a
     registration pursuant to this Section 7 involves an underwritten
     offering, and the managing underwriter shall advise the Company that,
     in its opinion, the number of securities requested and otherwise
     proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the number which
     can be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the
     Company, the Company will include in such registration, to the extent
     of the number which the Company is so advised can be sold in such
     offering, (i) first, all securities proposed to be sold by the Company,
     (ii) second, all securities proposed to be sold by FHP, and (iii) third,
     the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
     registration by the Management Investors and securities of other
     persons requested to be included in such registration that, in the opinion
     of such managing underwriter, can be sold, such amount to be allocated
     among all such Management Investors and other persons pro rata based
     upon the respective number of securities each such person has requested
     to be included in such registration.

                 (c)   Seller Information; Suspension.  The Company
     may require each seller of Registrable Securities to furnish the Company
     such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such
     securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request. 
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
     Management Investors understand that there may be periods during
     which the Company may determine, in good faith, that it is in the best
     interest of the Company and its stockholders to defer disclosure of any
     material facts regarding the Company business which the Company
     requires for reasonable business purposes to remain confidential
     (collectively, "Non-Public Information"), until such information has
     reached a more advanced stage and that during such periods sales of
     Registrable Securities and the effectiveness of any registration
     statement covering Registrable Securities may be suspended or delayed. 
     Each Management Investor agrees by acquisition of such Registrable
     Securities that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of (i) the
     happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in
     such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
     statement of a material fact or omits to state any 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, or (ii) the development of any Non-Public Information, then such
     Management Investor will forthwith discontinue such Management
     Investor's disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
     registration statement relating to such Registrable Securities.

          7.3    Underwritten Offerings; Lockup.

                 In connection with any distribution by one or more
underwriters of the Company's securities registered pursuant to this Section
7, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each Management
Investor agrees as a condition to such Management Investor's rights under this
Agreement not to effect any public sale or distribution of any equity securities
of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act (or any similar provision then in force), during such period as
may be agreed to between the Company and the underwriters, except as part
of such underwritten registration.

          7.4    Indemnification/Indemnification Agreements. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may require, as a condition to
including any Management Investor's Registrable Securities in any registration
statement filed pursuant to this Sections 7, that each Management Investor
who has requested that his or her Registrable Securities be included in such
registration statement enter into an indemnification agreement with the
Company on terms and conditions customary for indemnification agreements
in connection with transactions of this type.

          7.5    Termination of Registration Rights.  The registration
rights granted to the Management Investors pursuant to this Section 7 shall
terminate:  (a) As to any particular Registrable Securities, at the time that
such Registrable Securities can be sold by the Management Investor holding
such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or successor rules without the
necessity for registration; (b) Upon transfer by the Management Investor of
such Registrable Securities; and (c) In any event, ten years from the date of
this Agreement.

          7.6    Registration Expenses.  All expenses incurred by the
Company incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with this
Section 7, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees
and expenses of compliance with state securities or blue sky laws, printing
expenses and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all
independent public accountants (including the expenses of any audit), but
excluding underwriting commissions, and discounts and expenses agreed to be
paid to underwriters (all such expenses being herein called "Registration
Expenses"), shall be borne by the Company.

     8.   Withholding.  The Management Investors acknowledge that the
Company may withhold compensation (in cash, or, at the Company's option,
in stock) to satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local income, employment
and other tax withholding requirements.

     9.   Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

          9.1    Authorization.  FHP and each Management Investor
represent and warrants that this Agreement, when executed and delivered by
each of them, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of each of
them, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms.  

          9.2    Investment Representations.

                 (a)   This Agreement is made with the Management
     Investors in reliance upon each Management Investor's representation
     to the Company and to FHP, which by such Management Investor's
     execution and delivery hereof each Management Investor hereby
     confirms, that the shares of the Management Stock to be received by
     such Management Investor will be acquired for investment for such
     Management Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
     with a view to the sale in connection with a public distribution of any
     part thereof; and (ii) such Management Investor has no present
     intention of selling, granting a participation in or otherwise
     distributing, and does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
     arrangement with any natural person, corporation, partnership, association
     or other entity ("Person") to sell, transfer or grant a participation to
     such Person, or to any third Person, with respect to any of the shares of
     the Management Stock.

                 (b)   Each Management Investor understands that the
     Management Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act on
     the ground that the sale and the issuance of Management Stock
     hereunder is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant
     to Section 4(2) thereof and regulations issued thereunder, and that
     FHP's and the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on
     the Management Investors' representations set forth herein.

                 (c)   Each Management Investor represents that such
     Management Investor is an executive officer or director of the Company
     or FHP.  Each Management Investor further represents that, during the
     course of the transaction and prior to such Management Investor's
     purchase of shares of the Management Stock, such Management
     Investor had access to, the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive
     answers from, representatives of FHP and the Company concerning the
     terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain additional information
     (to the extent FHP or the Company possessed such information or could
     acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify
     the accuracy of any information furnished to such Management Investor
     or to which such Management Investor had access.

                 (d)   Each Management Investor has relied solely on its
     own investigations in making a decision to purchase the Management
     Stock, and has received no representation or warranty from FHP or the
     Company, or any of the affiliates, employees or agents of either.

                 (e)   Each Management Investor understands that the
     Management Stock may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed
     of without registration or qualification under the Securities Act and the
     California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended (the "CSL") or
     pursuant to an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an
     effective registration statement and permit covering the Management
     Stock or an available exemption from registration under the Securities
     Act and qualification under the CSL, the Management Stock must be
     held indefinitely.  Each Management Investor represents that, in the
     absence of such an effective registration statement and permit covering
     the Management Stock, such Management Investor will sell, transfer or
     otherwise dispose of the Management Stock only in a manner consistent
     with his or its representations set forth herein and then only in
     accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and applicable laws
     and regulations.

                 (f)   Each Management Investor agrees that, except as
     specifically contemplated hereunder, in no event will such Management
     Investor transfer or dispose of any of the Management Stock other than
     pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,
     unless and until (i) there is compliance with all requirements contained
     in other sections of this Agreement; (ii) the Management Investor shall
     have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have
     furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances
     surrounding the disposition; (iii) if requested by the Company, at the
     expense of the Management Investor or transferee, such Management
     Investor shall have furnished to the Company an opinion of counsel,
     reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer
     may be consummated without registration under the Securities Act; and
     (iv) the transferee executes and delivers an assumption agreement, in
     form and substance satisfactory to FHP, by which the transferee
     assumes all obligations of a Management Investor under this
     Agreement.

          9.3    Legends; Stop Transfer.

                 (a)   All certificates for shares of the Stock shall bear
     a legend in substantially the following form:

                 THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS
                 CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED

                 THE VOTING OF THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY
                 THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE
                 PROVISIONS OF THE CERTIFICATE OF

                 AGREEMENT.

                 (b)   The certificates for shares of the Management

                 (c)   In addition, the Company shall make a notation
     regarding the restrictions on transfer of the Management Stock in its
     stock records, and shares of the Management Stock shall be transferred
     on the records of the Company only if transferred or sold pursuant to an
     effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering such
     shares or pursuant to and in compliance with the provisions of
     subsection 9.2(f) hereof.

     10.  Certain Covenants.

          10.1   Right of First Refusal.  The provisions of this Section 10
     shall expire at such time as there has been sold or distributed to the
     public in a spin-off or in one or more underwritten public offerings
     pursuant to one or more Registration Statements filed with, and
     declared effective by, the Commission under the Securities Act.

                 (a)   Each Management Investor agrees that such
     Management Investor will not sell or otherwise dispose of all or any
     portion of the Management Stock held by such Management Investor
     unless such sale or disposition (i) involves only those shares of
     Management Stock (a) with respect to which the Restrictions have
     lapsed, and (b) are no longer subject to any of the options provided in
     Section 5 hereof, and (ii) is made (a) for consideration that is payable in
     cash or cash equivalents at the time of sale, (b) only in strict accordance
     with and after full compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.1,
     and (c) pursuant to a good faith offer to purchase such Management
     Stock in writing from a responsible third party.  In the event of any
     such proposed sale or other disposition, the Management Investor
     proposing to make such sale or other disposition (the "Selling Investor")
     will give notice to the Company and concurrently to FHP containing a
     complete description of the transaction proposed (the "Proposal"),
     including the number of shares of Management Stock proposed to be
     sold or otherwise disposed of (the "Transfer Shares"), the consideration
     to be paid per Transfer Share and the names of all other parties to, and
     all other material terms of, the proposed transaction, and a copy of the
     written offer from the third party.  

                 (b)   For a period of thirty (30) business days after
     delivery of the Proposal (the "FHP Option Period"), FHP shall have the
     sole and exclusive right to purchase all or any portion of the Transfer
     Shares owned by the Selling Investor for the consideration stated in the
     Proposal and on such other terms and conditions as those offered to the
     Selling Investor as set forth in the Proposal.  

                 (c)   If within the FHP Option Period FHP does not
     exercise the option provided in subsection (b) above as to all of the
     Transfer Shares, then for a period of ten (10) days (the "Company
     Option Period") commencing upon the expiration of the FHP Option
     Period (or such earlier time as FHP has either given notice of exercise
     pursuant to (e) below or has advised the Selling Investor that it does not
     intend to exercise such option), the Company shall have the sole and
     exclusive right to purchase all or any portion of the remaining Transfer
     Shares for the consideration and on the other terms and conditions set
     forth in the Proposal.

                 (d)   After expiration of the FHP Option Period and the
     Company Option Period, if FHP and the Company have not exercised
     their respective options so as to purchase, in the aggregate, all of the
     Transfer Shares proposed to be sold by the Selling Investor, then none
     of such Transfer Shares will be sold to either of said parties, and within
     a period ending sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Company
     Option Period, the Selling Investor may sell or otherwise dispose of the
     Transfer Shares as are the subject of the Proposal, but (i) only for cash
     or cash equivalents, and (ii) only in strict accordance with the terms and
     provisions set forth in the Proposal.

                 (e)   Any option granted under this Section 10.1 may
     be exercised by notice in writing to the Selling Investor and the
     Company stating that such option is exercised.

                 (f)   In the event that the options under this Section
     10.1 have been exercised so as to purchase all of the Transfer Shares
     proposed to be sold by the Selling Investor, delivery of the certificate or
     certificates evidencing the Transfer Shares, properly endorsed, shall be
     made by the Selling Investor against payment therefor within ten (10)
     days after the expiration of the Company Option Period at the principal
     office of the Company, unless a different time and place or both is
     agreed upon by the parties to such transaction, and the total purchase
     price with respect to such option shall be paid in the manner and at the
     time or times specified in the Proposal.

                 (g)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
     contained in this Agreement, a Management Investor shall be permitted
     to transfer those shares of such Management Investor's Management
     Stock with respect to which the Restrictions have lapsed, to a Permitted
     Transferee (as defined below) of such Management Investor.  For
     purposes of this Agreement, "Permitted Transferee" shall mean (i) any
     member of the immediate family of such Management Investor, (ii) any
     trust, all of the beneficiaries of which are members of the immediate
     family of such Management Investor, or (iii) the estate or personal
     representative of such Management Investor if such Management
     Investor is deceased; provided, however, that any Permitted Transferee
     to whom such shares of Management Stock are transferred pursuant to
     this paragraph (g) shall be required, as a condition of such transfer, to
     execute and deliver a written assumption agreement by which such
     assignee assumes all rights and obligations of a Management Investor
     under this Agreement, including but not limited to (i) the restrictions
     imposed by Sections 5 hereof, and (ii) the rights and obligations of FHP
     under Section 6 hereof.  Any reference to a "Management Investor"
     contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to include such
     Management Investor's Permitted Transferees.

     11.  Miscellaneous.

          11.1   Remedies.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge
and agree that breach of any of the covenants of FHP, the Company and the
Management Investors set forth in this Agreement may not be compensable by
payment of money damages and, therefore, that the covenants of FHP, the
Company and the Management Investors set forth in this Agreement may be
enforced in equity by a decree requiring specific performance.  Without limiting
the foregoing, if any dispute arises concerning the sale or other disposition of
any of the Management Stock subject to this Agreement, the parties to this
Agreement agree that an injunction may be issued restraining the sale or other
disposition of such Management Stock or rescinding any such sale or other
disposition, pending resolution of such controversy. Such remedies shall be
cumulative and non-exclusive and shall be in addition to any other rights and
remedies the parties may have under this Agreement.

          11.2   Attorneys' Fees.  If any party to this Agreement brings
an action against another party to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred in connection
with such action, including any appeal of such action.  In the event that a
party brings such an action against more than one of the other parties to this
Agreement, any attorneys' fees awarded against such other parties shall be
equitably apportioned among such other parties in light of all of the facts and
circumstances surrounding their involvement in such action.

          11.3   Notices.  Notices and other communication provided for
herein shall be in writing (including wire, telex, telecopy or similar writing)
and shall be sent, delivered, telexed or telecopied to:

          11.4   No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Nothing contained in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person or entity
other than the parties hereto and their successors in interest and permitted
assignees, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement unless
expressly so stated otherwise in this Agreement.

          11.5   Assignment by FHP.  This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of FHP.  This
Agreement is assignable by FHP to (i) any purchaser of all or substantially all
of FHP's shares of the capital stock of the Company, (ii) any wholly-owned
subsidiary of FHP, or (iii) the Company; provided, however, that such assignee
shall execute and deliver a written assumption agreement by which such
assignee assumes all obligations of FHP under this Agreement.  In the event
of an assignment by FHP pursuant to this Section 11.5, FHP shall have the
ability to delegate the functions to be performed by the Audit Committee
hereunder (including any discretionary functions) to any committee of such
assignee with substantially similar functions.

          11.6   Time is of the Essence.  Time is of the essence in respect
to all provisions of this Agreement in which a definite time for performance is
specified.

          11.7   Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement and
the Exhibits and Schedules specifically referred to herein represents the
entire, final agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof, superseding all prior agreements, understandings, discussions,
negotiations and commitments of any kind.  This Agreement may not be amended or
supplemented, nor may any rights hereunder be waived, except in a writing
signed by each of the parties affected thereby.

          11.8   Severability.  In the event that any provision or any part
of any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision or part hereof.

          11.9   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

          11.10  Governing Law.  The validity, interpretation,
enforceability, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, without
reference to its conflicts of law rules.

          11.11  Waiver of Jury Trials; Consent to Jurisdiction.  WITH
RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY RELATED TRANSACTION, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY
RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT ANY
SUCH LITIGATION SHALL BE TRIED BY A JUDGE WITHOUT A JURY. 
Each party agrees to non-exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in the
United States District Court for the Central District of California (and any
California State court within that District) for that purpose, and appoints the
person set forth in Section 11.3 as its agent for service of process in such
jurisdiction.

          11.12  Waiver.  The waiver by any party of any instance of any
other party's noncompliance with any obligation or responsibility herein shall
not be deemed a waiver of other instances or of any party's remedies for such
noncompliance.

                 (2)   The first two sentences of Section 2.1 of the Stock
Purchase Agreement are hereby amended to read as follows:

                       "Subject to the terms and conditions of this
                 Agreement, each of the Management Investors, severally
                 and not jointly, agrees to purchase, and FHP agrees to
                 cause the Company and THSC to, and the Company and
                 THSC, respectively, agree to, issue, sell and transfer to
                 each of the Management Investors, severally and not
                 jointly, at the Closing (as defined below), the following: 
                 (i) for consideration in the amount of $.01 (one cent) per
                 share, as to each such Management Investor, the
                 number of shares of the TMMC Class A Common Stock
                 (the "TMMC Stock") set forth in that certain schedule
                 signed by each of FHP, the Company, THSC and such
                 Management Investor (each, a "Management Investor
                 Schedule"), and (ii) for consideration in the amount of
                 $2.00 (two dollars) per share, as to each such
                 Management Investor, the number of shares of the
                 THSC Common Stock (the "THSC Stock", with the
                 TMMC Stock and the THSC Stock collectively referred
                 to herein as the "Stock") set forth in the Management
                 Investor Schedules.  The aggregate number of shares of
                 TMMC Stock issued to the Management Investors shall
                 be 880,000 (the "TMMC Management Stock"), and the
                 TMMC Stock issued to the Management Investors,
                 collectively, initially shall comprise approximately 8.8%
                 of the total outstanding common stock of the Company
                 (the "TMMC Management Stock"); and the aggregate
                 number of shares of THSC Stock issued to the
                 Management Investors shall be 49, and the THSC Stock
                 issued to the Management Investors, collectively,
                 initially shall comprise approximately 8.8% of the total
                 outstanding common stock of THSC (the "THSC
                 Management Stock," with the TMMC Management
                 Stock and the THSC Management Stock collectively
                 referred to herein as the "Management Stock")."

                 (3)   Pursuant to this Amendment, (i) all rights and
obligations created under the Stock Purchase Agreement between (a) FHP and
the Management Investors with respect to the TMMC Management Stock, and
(b) the Company and the Management Investors with respect to the TMMC
Management Stock, shall hereby also create separate and identical rights and
obligations between (x) FHP and the Management Investors with respect to the
THSC Management Stock, and (y) THSC and the Management Investors with
respect to the THSC Management Stock, respectively, as if two separate and
identical sets of such rights and obligations were originally created
thereunder, (ii) all other rights and obligations created under the Stock
Purchase Agreement between (a) FHP and the Management Investors, and (b) the
Company and the Management Investors, shall hereby also create separate
and identical rights and obligations between (x) FHP and the Management
Investors, and (y) THSC and the Management Investors, respectively, as if two
separate and identical sets of such rights and obligations were originally
created thereunder, (iii) all references in the Stock Purchase Agreement to "the
Company," in so far as such references relate to such rights and obligations
created between the Management Investors and the Company described in
clauses (i)(b) and (ii)(b), shall also be references to THSC and shall relate to
such separate and identical rights and obligations between the Management
Investors and THSC as described in clauses (i)(y) and (ii)(y), above, and
(iv) all other references to "the Company" in the Stock Purchase Agreement shall
also be references to THSC; provided, however, that the foregoing clauses
(iii) and (iv) shall not apply to those references to "the Company" contained in
Sections 5.1, 5.3, 8 and 11.5 of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

                 (4)   All references to "Common Stock" in Section 6 and
7 of the Stock Purchase Agreement are hereby amended to read "TMMC
Common Stock or THSC Common Stock, as appropriate".

                 (5)   Section 8 of the Stock Purchase Agreement is
hereby amended to read as follows:

                       "8.   Withholding.  The Management Investors
                 acknowledge that the Company, FHP or THSC, as appropriate,
                 may withhold compensation (in cash, or, at the option
                 of the Company, FHP or THSC, as appropriate, in stock)
                 to satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local
                 income, employment and other tax withholding requirements."

                 (6)   The parties hereto acknowledge that there exists
the possibility that at some future date, THSC may be merged with or into the
Company, and in the event such merger occurs, it is presently contemplated
that upon the effective time of such merger (the "Effective Time"), each
Management Investor shall receive, in exchange for the shares of THSC
Common Stock purchased by such Management Investor pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment (or, in the event that
THSC and the Company are merged into a new entity, for the shares of the
THSC Common Stock and the shares of the TMMC Common Stock so
purchased by such Management Investor), the number of shares of TMMC
Common Stock (or shares of the common stock of the new entity) which, when
combined with the number of shares of TMMC Common Stock purchased by
such Management Investor pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as
amended by this Amendment (or which shares of the common stock of the new
entity), would result in the ownership by such Management Investor of the
same percentage of the total outstanding common stock of the Company (or of
such merged entity) immediately after the Effective Time as the percentage of
the total outstanding common stock of the Company owned by such
Management Investor immediately prior to the Effective Time.  In such event,
immediately following the Effective Time:

                       (i)   all rights and obligations created under this
     Amendment between (a) FHP and the Management Investors with respect to
     the THSC Management Stock, and (b) THSC and the Management Investors
     with respect to the THSC Management Stock, shall become rights and
     obligations between (x) FHP and the Management Investors with respect
     to the TMMC Management Stock, and (y) the Company and the Management
     Investors with respect to the TMMC Management Stock, respectively,
     as if the separate and identical obligations created pursuant to Section
     1(a)(3)(i), above, had never been created thereunder;

                       (ii)   all other rights and obligations created
     pursuant to this Amendment between (a) FHP and the Management
     Investors, and (b) THSC and the Management Investors, shall
     become rights and obligations between (x) FHP and the Management
     Investors, and (y) the Company and the Management Investors,
     respectively, as if the separate and identical sets of rights
     and obligations created pursuant to Section 1(a)(3)(ii), above,
     had never been created thereunder;

                       (iii)   all references in the Stock Purchase
     Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, to "the Company," in so
     far as such references relate to such rights and obligations created
     pursuant to Section 1(3)(a)(iii), above, between the Management
     Investors and THSC, shall be references only to the Company, and
     shall no longer be references to THSC, and shall relate only to
     the rights and obligations between the Management Investors
     and the Company as described in clauses (i)(y) and (ii)(y) of
     this Section 1(a)(6); and

                       (iv)   all other references to "the Company" in
     the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, shall
     be references to the Company only.

Each Management Investor hereby agrees and consents that the execution of
this Amendment by such Management Investor shall constitute an agreement
by such Management Investor to (i) consent in writing to a merger of THSC
with or into the Company pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as amended (the "DGCL"), and (ii) refrain from demanding
any appraisal rights to which such Management Investor might otherwise be
entitled pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, or pursuant to any other
provision of applicable law, in connection with such a merger.

          (b)    Removal of Party to Stock Purchase Agreement.  The
Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to remove all references to
"William P. Bracciodieta" and "Bracciodieta" in the Stock Purchase Agreement. 
Accordingly, William P. Bracciodieta shall not be a party to the Stock Purchase
Agreement.

     2.   Notices.  Notices and other communication provided for herein or
in the Stock Purchase Agreement shall be in writing (including wire, telex,
telecopy or similar writing) and shall be sent, delivered, telexed or
telecopied, if to THSC, to:

          Talbert Health Services Corporation
          3540 Howard Way
          Costa Mesa, CA  92626
          Attn:  President

     3.   Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, without
reference to its conflicts of law rules.

     4.   No Other Amendments.  The Stock Purchase Agreement, as
amended by this Amendment, is and shall continue to be in full force and effect
and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.  Except as provided
herein, nothing in this Amendment shall waive or be deemed to waive or
modify (except as expressly set forth herein) any rights or obligations of any
of the parties under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

     5.   Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which
together will constitute but one instrument.

Amendment as of the date first above mentioned.

                            THIRD AMENDMENT


      THIRD AMENDMENT, dated as of May 2, 1996 (this "Amendment"), to

                          W I T N E S E T H :

      WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders agree to
amend the Credit Agreement in the manner provided herein.

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:

      1.    Defined Terms.  Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined
in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein.

      2.    Amendments to Credit Agreement.

            (a)     Subsection 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
      amended by (a) deleting therefrom the definition of "Consolidated
      Adjusted Net Income" in its entirety and (b) inserting therein the
      following new definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order:

            "'Available Prepayment Funds':  with respect to any fiscal
      year of the Borrower, the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds
      in excess of $75,000,000 received by the Borrower in such fiscal
      year.";

            "'Consolidated Adjusted Net Income':  for any period, the
      Consolidated Net Income of the Borrower and its consolidated
      Subsidiaries for such period, plus the amount of income taxes,
      interest expense, rental expense, depreciation, amortization, Non-
      Cash Charges and the OPM Charge (if applicable to such period)
      deducted from earnings of the Borrower and its consolidated
      Subsidiaries for such period in determining such Consolidated
      Net Income."; and

            "'OPM Charge':  the pre-tax amount (not in excess of
      $45,000,000) deducted from earnings of the Borrower and its
      consolidated Subsidiaries in determining Consolidated Net
      Income for the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending on March 31,
      1996 in connection with the reserve created to address potential
      claims of the United States Office of Personnel Management, as
      reported in the financial statements of the Borrower and its
      consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal quarter."

            (b)     Subsection 2.6(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby
      amended by deleting such subsection in its entirety and inserting in lieu
      thereof a new subsection 2.6(c) to read in its entirety as follows:

                    "(c)  Subject to the other provisions of this subsection
            (other than the last sentence of paragraph (a)), if there shall
            occur any Asset Sale permitted by subsection 6.7(a)(ii), then the
            Borrower shall apply the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale as
            follows:

                          first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans which
                    are ABR Loans, payable within five Business Days of
                    the receipt by the Borrower of such Net Cash Proceeds;

                          second, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds
                    exceed the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
                    the Term Loans which are ABR Loans, to the
                    prepayment of the term Loans which are Eurodollar
                    Loans, payable on the last day of the Interest Period
                    applicable to each such Eurodollar Loan to be prepaid;
                    and

                          third, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds
                    exceed the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
                    the Term Loans, to the permanent reduction of the
                    Revolving Credit Commitments (in which case, first, the
                    Revolving Credit Loans which are ABR Loans shall be
                    prepaid within five Business Days of the receipt by the
                    Borrower of such Net Cash Proceeds, second, the
                    Revolving Credit Loans which are Eurodollar Loans
                    shall be prepaid on the last day of the Interest Period
                    applicable to each such Eurodollar Loan to be prepaid;
                    and third, if the amount of such reduction is greater
                    than the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit
                    Loans outstanding, after prepayment of Revolving Credit
                    Loans in full the CAF Loans shall be Cash
