ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS

          On November 10, 1998, the Board of Directors of Concentra Corporation
(the "Company") adopted an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Rights Agreement
between the Company and The First National Bank of Boston dated as of April 24,
1997 (the "Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to such Amendment:

1.        Oracle Corporation and any wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracle
          Corporation (together, "Oracle") are excluded from the definition of
          "Acquiring Person" in Section 1 of the Rights Agreement to the extent
          that Oracle acquires Common Shares of the Company pursuant to the
          Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 10, 1998, among
          Oracle, KL Acquisition Corporation and the Company (the "Merger
          Agreement"), or the Offer, the Merger, the Company Stock Option, the 
          Support Agreements, and the Director Option Termination Agreements
          (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement), or any 
          transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
          
2.        Oracle is excluded, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Offer, the
          Merger, the Company Stock Option, the Support Agreements, the Director
          Option Termination Agreements, and any transaction contemplated by the
          Merger Agreement, from the definition of a "Person" in Section 3(b) of
          the Rights Agreement, which section determines whose tender offer
          would trigger the issuance of the Rights and Rights Certificates, as
          those terms are used in the Rights Agreement.

                         AMENDMENT TO RIGHTS AGREEMENT


     Agreement of Amendment dated as of the 10th day of November 1998 by and 
between Concentra Corporation ("Concentra") and BankBoston N.A. (formerly, The 
First National Bank of Boston) (the "Rights Agent").

     Whereas, Concentra and the Rights Agent are parties to that certain Rights 
Agreement dated as of April 24, 1997 between Concentra and the Rights Agent (as 
Rights Agent) (the "Rights Agreement"); and

     Whereas, Section 26 of the Rights Agreement provides in pertinent part that
Concentra may, and the Rights Agent shall if Concentra so directs, supplement or
amend any provision of the Rights Agreement; and
 
     Whereas, by Resolution of its Board of Directors adopted November 10, 1998,
Concentra has elected to effect certain amendments to the Rights Agreement and 
to direct the Rights Agent to execute and deliver this Amendment to effect such 
amendments;

      Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and 
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby 
acknowledged, the Rights Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

      1. The first sentence of the definition of the term "Acquiring Person" in 
Section 1 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new language: 
"or (d) Oracle Corporation or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracle Corporation 
(together, "Oracle") to the extent that Oracle acquires Common Shares pursuant 
to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 10, 1998 among Oracle 
Corporation, KL Acquisition Corporation and the Company (the "Merger Agreement")
or the Offer, the Merger, the Company Stock Option, the Support Agreements, and 
the Director Option Termination Agreements (as such terms are defined in the 
Merger Agreement), or any transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement."

     2. The first sentence of Section 3(b) is amended to read in its entirety as
follows (with the amendatory language set forth in CAPS): "(b) Until 
the earlier of (i) such time as the Company learns that a Person has become an
Acquiring Person or (ii) the Close of Business on such date, if any, as may be
designated by the Board of Directors of the Company following the commencement
of, or first public disclosure of an intent to commence, a tender or exchange
offer by any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any
employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any Person
holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such employee benefit
plan, or ORACLE PURSUANT TO THE MERGER AGREEMENT, THE OFFER, THE MERGER, THE
COMPANY STOCK OPTION, THE SUPPORT AGREEMENTS, THE DIRECTOR OPTION TERMINATION
AGREEMENTS, OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THE MERGER AGREEMENT) for
outstanding Common Shares, if upon consummation of such tender or exchange offer
such Person could be the Beneficial Owner of more than 20% of the outstanding
Common Shares (the Close of Business on the earlier of such dates being the
"Distribution Dates"), (x) the Rights will be evidenced by the certificates
<PAGE>
 
for Common Shares registered in the names of the holders thereof and not by 
separate Right Certificates and (y) the Rights, including the rights to receive 
Right Certificates, will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of
Common Shares."

     3. In all other respects, the Rights Agreement remains in full force and 
effect without alteration.

     In witness whereof, the parties have executed this Agreement of Amendment 
as of the date first above written.
