Item 2.           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS


         Effective  December  29,  1994,  HEALTHSOUTH  Corporation,  a  Delaware
corporation  formerly  known  as  HEALTHSOUTH  Rehabilitation  Corporation  (the
"Company"),  and its wholly-owned subsidiary,  RRS Acquisitions Company, Inc., a
Delaware  corporation  ("RRS"),  completed the  acquisition  of ReLife,  Inc., a
Delaware  corporation  ("ReLife"),  through  a  merger  of RRS into  ReLife.  As
contemplated  by the terms of the Amended and  Restated  Plan and  Agreement  of
Merger by and among the  parties,  ReLife is the  surviving  corporation  in the
merger, and is wholly-owned by the Company.  ReLife stockholders  received .7053
shares of the Common  Stock,  par value $.01 per share,  of the Company for each
share of the Class A Common Stock,  par value $.01 per share,  or Class B Common
Stock,  par value $.01 per share,  of ReLife held by them.  The  exchange  ratio
represents a value of $24.00 per share to ReLife's stockholders, resulting in an
approximate value of the transaction of $180,000,000.

         ReLife provides a comprehensive  system of rehabilitation  services for
disabled and injured  individuals.  As of September 30, 1994, ReLife operated 31
inpatient  facilities  with an aggregate of 1,102 licensed beds,  including nine
free-standing  rehabilitation  hospitals,  nine acute rehabilitation units, five
sub-acute   rehabilitation  units,  seven  transitional  living  units  and  one
residential facility, and provided outpatient  rehabilitation services at twelve
outpatient centers. ReLife also provides other services and programs,  including
contract  staffing of  rehabilitation  therapists and  specialized  programs for
spinal cord injury, brain injury and industrial rehabilitation.

shares of Common Stock,  par value $.01 per share,  to  100,000,000  shares.  On

         convertible into shares of the  Corporation's  Common Stock except as a
         part of the transaction  that resulted in the other entity's  acquiring
         its Twenty Percent (20%) interest;

                  (3) The other  entity shall not have (A) received the benefit,
         directly or indirectly (except  proportionately  as a stockholder),  of
         any loans, advances,  guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance

         in the  Corporation's  business or equity capital  structure without in
         either case the  approval  of at least a majority of all the  Directors
         and at  least  two-thirds  of the  continuing  Directors  prior  to the
         consummation of the business combination; and

                  (4) A proxy  statement  responsive to the  requirements of the
         Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  shall  have  been  mailed  to public

         stockholder  approval  of  the  business  combination  and  shall  have
         contained   at  the  front   thereof,   in  a  prominent   place,   any
         recommendations  as to  the  advisability  (or  inadvisability)  of the
         business combination that the continuing Directors, or any of them, may
         choose  to  state  and,  if  deemed  advisable  by a  majority  of  the
         continuing Directors, an opinion of a reputable investment banking firm
         as to the fairness of the terms of the business  combination,  from the
         point of view of the remaining  public  stockholders of the Corporation
         (the  investment  banking  firm to be  selected  by a  majority  of the
         continuing  Directors and to be paid a reasonable  fee for its services
         by the Corporation upon receipt of the opinion).


         The  provisions of this Article  SEVENTH shall also apply to a business
combination  with any  other  entity  that at any  time has been the  beneficial
owner,  directly  or  indirectly,  of more  than  Twenty  Percent  (20%)  of the
outstanding  shares  of  the  Corporation  entitled  to  vote  in  elections  of
Directors,  considered  for the purposes of this  Article  SEVENTH as one class,
notwithstanding  the fact that the other  entity has  EXHIBIT  (3)  reduced  its
shareholders  below  Twenty  Percent  (20%)  if, as of the  record  date for the

rights,  warrants or options,  or otherwise;  (3) the outstanding  shares of any

the merger into the  Corporation  of any other entity,  or (D) a combination  or
major  EXHIBIT  (3) ity  share  acquisition  in  which  the  Corporation  is the

other entity or to  stockholders  of any other  entity,  and the term  "business
combination"  shall also include any  agreement,  contract or other  arrangement
with an other  entity  providing  for any of the  transactions  described in (A)
through (D) of this clause (4); (5) the term  "continuing  Director"  shall mean
either a person  who was a member of the  Corporation's  Board of  Directors  on
August 15,  1986,  or a person who was  elected  to the  Corporation's  Board of
Directors by the public  stockholders of the Corporation  prior to the time when
the other  entity  acquired in excess of five  percent (5%) of the shares of the
Corporation  entitled to vote in the election of Directors,  considered  for the
purposes  of this  Article  SEVENTH as one  class,  or a person  recommended  to

consideration  to be  received"  shall mean shares of the  Corporation's  Common
Stock retained by its existing  public  stockholders  in the event of a business
combination  with the other  entity in which the  Corporation  is the  surviving
corporation.

         (c) A majority  of the  continuing  Directors  shall have the power and
duty to  determine  for the purposes of this  Article  SEVENTH,  on the basis of
information known to them,  whether (1) the other entity  beneficially owns more
than Twenty Percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of the Corporation  entitled
to vote in elections of  Directors,  (2) an other  entity is an  "affiliate"  or
"associate"  (as  defined  above)  of  another,  or (3) an other  entity  has an

stockholders  to remove  Directors.  The provisions set forth in Articles SIXTH,
SEVENTH and this Article EIGHTH of this Certificate of Incorporation  may not be
repealed  or amended in any  respect,  unless  such  action is  approved  by the
affirmative vote of the holders of Sixty-Six and TwoThirds  Percent (66-2/3%) of
all  shares of the  Corporation  entitled  to vote in  elections  of  Directors,
considered for purposes of this Article EIGHTH as one class.

the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary

of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional  misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (c) under Section 174 of the General  Corporation  Law of Delaware,  or (d)
