AMENDED AND RESTATED COST SHARING AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT is entered into this 16th day of August, 2002, by and among SELECT TRANSPORT, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ST”), SELECT MEDICAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“SMC”), and SELECT AIR II CORPORATION, a Pennsylvania corporation (“SAII”).

BACKGROUND

         A.     SMC leases a Cessna Citation III, Manufacturer’s Serial Number ###-###-####, Registration Number N49SM (the “Citation III”). The Citation III is kept in a hangar at the Harrisburg International Airport owned by ST (the “Hangar”). SAII owns a jet aircraft (the “Citation II”), which also occupies space in the Hangar.

         B.     On December 11, 2000, SMC, SAII and ST, executed and delivered that certain Cost Sharing Agreement (the “Prior Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties thereto provided for an equitable sharing of common expenses relative to the storage, maintenance and operation of their aircraft. The Prior Agreement was amended by that certain First Amendment to Cost Sharing Agreement dated April 1, 2001 and that certain Second Amendment to Cost Sharing Agreement dated February 12, 2002.

         C.     The parties hereto now desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement as hereinafter provided.

         NOW THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties covenant and agree as follows:

         1.     Hangar Usage. SMC will pay ST the sum of $3,250 per month (subject to annual adjustments to be mutually agreed upon by SAII and SMC), which is intended to reimburse ST for costs attributable to the physical hangar facility, such as interest, depreciation, real estate taxes, maintenance, insurance and utilities. Such amount shall be due and payable from SMC to ST on the first day of each calendar month.

         2.     Mechanic. A full-time, professional aircraft mechanic is employed through SMC to service the Citation II and the Citation III. Effective on February 12, 2002, SMC will no longer charge SAII for use of its mechanic in providing services with respect to the Citation II.

         3.     Pilots. Two full-time professional pilots are employed by SMC. The pilots fly both the Citation II and the Citation III. In addition, SMC and SAII from time to time hire contract pilots on a per diem basis. SMC and SAII will each be solely responsible for retaining and paying such nonemployee contract pilots to fly their respective aircraft. However, effective on February 12, 2002, SMC will no longer charge SAII for use of its pilots in connection with Citation II flights taken for personal trips.

 


 

         4.     Use of Citation II. The parties acknowledge that for business reasons, SMC may utilize the Citation II from time to time. SMC agrees to pay SAII $1,500 per flight hour for its use of the Citation II.

         5.     Use of Citation III. Effective on February 12, 2002, the Citation III (and SMC’s pilots) may be used, from time to time, for personal trips taken by SMC’s executive officers (who are, in some cases, accompanied by friends and family members), as follows: (a) Rocco A. Ortenzio, SMC’s Executive Chairman, and Robert A. Ortenzio, SMC’s President and Chief Executive Officer, may use the Citation III for personal trips without limitation, (b) all other executives officers of SMC may use the Citation III only (i) in connection with a personal emergency or bereavement matter, and (ii) with the prior approval of either SMC’s Executive Chairman or SMC’s President and Chief Executive Officer. SMC will receive no charge or reimbursement from any executive officer for personal use of the Citation III (and SMC’s pilots), or costs incurred by SMC in connection therewith. In connection with each trip taken by an executive officer for personal reasons, SMC will calculate the amount of compensation that must be included in such executive officers W-2 form, as required by IRS rules.
