            Re:   Second Amendment to Agreement in the Event of a Change of
                  Control of SMC

Dear Mr. Jackson:

            The following will confirm our desire to amend the Letter Agreement,
dated as of March 1, 2000, and as amended on February 23, 2001 (the "Letter
Agreement"), of Select Medical Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), with you concerning the consequences upon certain terminations of
your employment in connection with a change in control of the Company.
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Letter Agreement.

            Reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of October 17, 2004 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Select
Medical Holdings Corporation (f/k/a EGL Holding Company), a Delaware corporation
("Holdings"), EGL Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("EGL") and the
Company pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth therein, EGL will merge with and into the Company (the "Merger") with the
Company continuing as the surviving corporation.

            In consideration of your continued employment with the Company and
other good and valuable consideration, including the mutual covenants and
agreements contained in that certain Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2004
(the "Rollover Agreement"), by and among Holdings, you and the other individuals
and entities party thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, you agreed to
contribute your shares of stock of the Company to Holdings in exchange for
shares of stock of Holdings and to amend the Letter Agreement as set forth
herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company
and you hereby agree, intending to be legally bound hereby, as follows:

            1. That the Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Merger
      Agreement will not be treated as a Change of Control under the terms and
      provisions of the Letter Agreement and you will forgo any change of
      control or similar payments that you would otherwise be entitled to
      receive under such provisions if the Merger or other transactions
      contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Rollover Agreement would

      have been treated as a Change of Control (including any gross-up or
      payments, or to reimburse you, for excise taxes resulting from such
      payments or other benefits provided under the Letter Agreement or
      otherwise in connection with the Merger and other transactions
      contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Rollover Agreement).

            2. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the
      aforementioned provisions shall remain in effect with respect to any
      future Change of Control and, except as amended hereby, the Letter
      Agreement shall continue in effect in accordance with its terms.

            Please indicate your acceptance of the above Amendment by signing
below in the space provided.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        SELECT MEDICAL CORPORATION

AGREED TO AND ACCEPTED BY:
