corporate and, if required, stockholder action and (b) will not (i) violate (A)

                 B.       Each Loan Party has all requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into this Amendment and to carry out the transactions
contemplated by, and perform its obligations under, this Amendment and, with
respect to Coram and the Borrower, the Amended Agreement. This Amendment
Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and this
Amendment and the Amended Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each Loan Party thereto enforceable against each such Loan Party

                 SECTION 7. RELEASE

                 Although Coram, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors do
not believe that they have any claims against Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent, the Fronting Bank, or any of the Lenders, each is willing to provide
such parties with a general and total release of all such claims in
consideration of the extensions and other benefits which the Loan Parties will
receive pursuant to this Amendment. Accordingly, each Loan Party, for itself,
each of its Subsidiaries and any successor of such Loan Party or such
Subsidiary, hereby knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally and irrevocably
releases and discharges Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Fronting
Bank, each Lender (including each Overline Lender) and each of their respective
officers, directors, agents, affiliates and counsel (each a "RELEASEE") from
any and all actions, causes of action, suits, sums of money, controversies,
variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, extents, executions, losses,
liabilities, costs, expenses, debts, dues, demands, obligations or other claims
of any kind whatsoever, in law, admiralty or equity, which such Loan Party or
any of its Subsidiaries ever had, now have or hereafter can, shall or may have
against any Releasee for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing
whatsoever from the beginning of the world to the Amendment Effective Date;
provided however, that nothing contained in this release shall be construed to
waive or alter any right of the Loan Parties to claims that may arise hereafter
under sections 542, 543, 544, 545, 547, 548 and 551 of the Federal Bankruptcy
Code.

                 SECTION 8. COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS

                 This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together
shall constitute but one contact. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be as
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
This Amendment (other than the provisions of Section 1 which shall become
effective as provided in Section 2 hereof) shall become effective upon
execution of a counterpart hereof by the Borrower, Coram, each subsidiary
Guarantor, each Lender and authorization of delivery of such counterparts.

                 SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

                 C. The Borrower acknowledges that all costs, fees and expenses
as described in subsection 9.05 of the Credit Agreement, or otherwise provided
for under the Loan Documents, incurred with respect to this Amendment and the
documents and transactions contemplated hereby shall be for the account of the
Borrower.

                 D. Section and subsection headings in this Amendment are
included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a
part of this Amendment for any other purpose or be given any substantive
effect.
