COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is party to various legal and administrative proceedings and claims arising in the normal course of business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, the Company, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the outcome of such other proceedings or claims which are pending or known to be threatened will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Commitments and Other Contingencies

The Company has employment agreements with certain executive officers which provide that in the event of their termination or resignation, under certain conditions, the Company may be required to pay severance to the executive officers in amounts ranging from one-fourth to two times their base salary and target annual bonus. In the event that a termination or resignation follows or is in connection with a change in control, the Company may be required to pay severance to the executive officers in amounts ranging from three-fourths to three times their base salary and target annual bonus. The Company may also be required to continue welfare benefit plan coverage for the executive officers following a termination or resignation for a period ranging from one month to two years.

If a supply agreement related to the Company's store brands, including Select Medical Products and other specialty brand products (collectively known as “store brand or “store brands”) between a vendor and the Company were to be terminated, then the Company may be required to purchase from the vendor all remaining finished and unfinished products and product-materials ordered or held by the vendor.  As of December 30, 2011, the Company had no material obligation to purchase remaining products or materials due to a termination of a supply agreement with a vendor who supplies store brand products to the Company.
