|   | · | Increase Volumes.      Through the addition of specialty services such as acute      rehabilitation units, patients who were being discharged to other venues      for treatment can now remain in the hospital setting. This allows      hospitals to capture revenues that would otherwise be realized by another      provider. Upon discharge, patients can return for outpatient care,      creating added revenues for the provider. New services also help hospitals      attract new patients. The addition of a managed rehabilitation program      helps skilled nursing facilities attract residents by broadening their      scope of services. |

|   | · | Increase Cost Control.      Because of their extensive experience in the service line, contract      management companies can offer pricing structures that effectively control      a healthcare provider’s financial risk related to the service provided.      For hospitals and other providers that utilize program managers, the      result is often lower average cost than that of self-managed programs. As      a result, the facility is able to increase its revenues without having to      increase administrative staff or incur other fixed  costs. |
|--------|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Establish Agreements with      Managed Care Organizations. Program managers often have the ability      to improve clinical care by capturing and analyzing patient information      from a large number of acute rehabilitation and skilled nursing units,      which an individual hospital could not do on its own without a substantial      investment in specialized systems. Becoming part of a managed care network      helps the hospital attract physicians, and in turn, attract more patients      to the hospital. |
|--------|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Provide Access to      Capital.  Contract management companies, particularly      those which have access to public markets, can in certain circumstances      make capital available to their clients for adding programs and services      like physical rehabilitative services or expanding existing programs when      community needs dictate. |
|--------|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Obtain Reimbursement Advice.      Contract management companies, like RehabCare, employ reimbursement      specialists who are available to assist client facilities in interpreting      complicated regulations within a given specialty — a highly valued service      in the changing healthcareenvironment. |
|--------|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Obtain Clinical Resources and      Expertise. Rehabilitation service providers have the ability to      develop and implement clinical training and development programs that can      provide best practices for clients. |
|--------|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Ensure Appropriate Levels of      Staffing for Rehabilitation Professionals. Therapy staffing in both      hospitals and skilled nursing settings presents unique challenges that can      be better managed by a provider with a national recruiting presence.      Program managers have the ability to more sharply focus on staffing levels      in order to address the fluctuating clinical needs of the host      facility. |

| (1) | We      lease many of our facilities under non-cancelable operating leases in the      normal course of business.  Some lease agreements provide us      with the option to renew the lease. Our future operating lease obligations      would change if we exercised these renewal options and if we entered into      additional operating lease agreements. For more information, see Note 13      to our accompanying consolidated financial  statements. |

| (2) | Purchase      obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are      enforceable and legally binding on us and that specify all significant      terms. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without      penalty. |
|-----|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (3) | For      the purpose of computing the interest payments shown here, we have assumed      a constant balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility of      $57.0 million through June 16, 2011, which is the date on which our credit      facility expires.  This also assumes our contracts under the      revolving credit facility are renewed at the currently existing rates of      interest. |
|-----|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (4) | Represents      our total liability for unrecognized tax benefits based on the guidance in      FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”      (“FIN 48”).  There is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the      timing of future cash outflows associated with our FIN 48 liabilities,      which involve various taxing authorities.  As a result, we are      unable to predict the timing of payments against this      obligation. |
|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (5) | We      maintain a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for certain employees.      Under the plan, participants may defer up to 70% of their salary and cash      incentive compensation. The amounts are held in trust in investments      designated by participants but remain our property until distribution.      Because most distributions of funds are tied to the termination of      employment or retirement of participants, we are not able to predict the      timing of payments against this obligation.  At December 31,      2008, we owned trust assets with a value approximately equal to the total      amount of this obligation. |
