Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On November 10, 2010, Select Medical Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Select”), amended the employment agreement of each of Rocco A. Ortenzio, Robert A. Ortenzio and Patricia A. Rice (each, an “Amendment,” and collectively, the “Amendments”).

The Amendments were generally made to reflect recent guidance issued under the Internal Revenue Code. The Amendments include (i) providing that any severance benefits owed to the executives as the result of a termination of employment within one year after a change in control (as defined in each executive’s employment agreement) will be paid in equal installments over the remainder of the then current employment term rather than in a lump sum and (ii) specifying the period of time during which the executives must execute a release of claims in order to receive severance benefits. The Amendments also provide for the payment of a pro-rata bonus in the event of certain terminations of employment within one year after a change in control (such benefit is already provided in the case of certain pre-change in control terminations of employment, as well as certain terminations of employment that occur more than one year after a change in control). In addition, Ms. Rice’s Amendment clarifies that the definition of “good reason” contained in her employment agreement means, generally: (i) the assignment to Ms. Rice of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with her position, authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by Select which results in a material diminution or material adverse change in such position, status, authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) any failure by Select to comply with any of the provisions of Article 3 of Ms. Rice’s employment agreement; (iii) Select’s failure to comply with the provisions of Ms. Rice’s employment agreement permitting her to perform work at her home offices; or (iv) any failure by Select to comply with and satisfy Section 7.01 of Ms. Rice’s employment agreement, other than, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii), an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied within 15 days after receipt of notice by Ms. Rice. In all other material respects, the employment agreements for Messrs. Rocco and Robert Ortenzio and Ms. Rice remain in full force and effect.

The above is a brief summary of the Amendments and does not purport to be complete.  A copy of the Amendment to Rocco A. Ortenzio’s employment agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the Amendment to Robert A. Ortenzio’s employment agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the Amendment to Patricia A. Rice’s employment agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The content of each such Exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.
