<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware,
the Registrant has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against
liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act. The Registrant&#146;s bylaws also provide for mandatory
indemnification of its directors and executive officers, and permissive
indemnification of its employees and agents, to the fullest extent permissible
under Delaware law.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation provides that the liability
of its directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent
permissible under Delaware law. Pursuant to Delaware law, this includes
elimination of liability for monetary damages for breach of the directors&#146;
fiduciary duty of care to the Registrant and its stockholders. These provisions
do not eliminate the directors&#146; duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances,
equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief
will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will
continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director&#146;s duty of
loyalty to the Registrant, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving
intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit, and for payment of
dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful
under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director&#146;s
responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or
state or federal environmental laws.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant maintains a policy of directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability
insurance that insures the Company&#146;s directors and officers against the cost of
defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.

against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed

calculated in accordance with Rule 457 (c) of the Securities Act, based upon the average of the high and low trading prices of our Common
Stock on August 8, 2002.
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
Information required in Part I of Form S-8 to be contained in a prospectus
meeting the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), is not required to be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and is omitted from this
Registration Statement in accordance with the explanatory note to Part I of
Form S-8 and Rule 428 under the Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents of Select Medical Corporation (the "Registrant"),
which we have filed or plan to file with the Commission, are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement as of their respective dates:
(a)  the Registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K (File No.
000-32499), filed on March 5, 2002 for the year ended December 31, 2001;
(b)  all other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") since
December 31, 2001;
(c)  the description of our Common Stock contained in the registration
statement on Form 8-A, filed on March 30, 2001 under Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
updating such description.
(d)  all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant with the Commission
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the
date of this Registration Statement, but prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement, which indicates that
all securities offered by this Registration Statement have been sold or which
deregisters all such securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement. Each document
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to
be a part of this Registration Statement from the date of the filing of such
document with the Commission until the information contained therein is
superseded or updated by any subsequently filed document which is incorporated
by reference into this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Section 145 of the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware,
the Registrant has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against
liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act. The Registrant's bylaws also provide for mandatory
indemnification of its directors and executive officers, and permissive
indemnification of its employees and agents, to the fullest extent permissible
under Delaware law.
The Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that the liability
of its directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent
permissible under Delaware law. Pursuant to Delaware law, this includes
elimination of liability for monetary damages for breach of the directors'
fiduciary duty of care to the Registrant and its stockholders. These provisions
do not eliminate the directors' duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances,
equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief
will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will
continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Registrant, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving
intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit, and for payment of
dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful
under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director's
responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or
state or federal environmental laws.
The Registrant maintains a policy of directors' and officers' liability
insurance that insures the Company's directors and officers against the cost of
defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information
set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating
- 3 -
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
(b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
