(a) The Issuers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser, its directors and officers, and any person who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party”), from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which such Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission
21
or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in or omitted from and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser to the Company expressly for use therein; provided that with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any Preliminary Memorandum, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9(a) shall not inure to the benefit of the Initial Purchaser or any Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party that sold the Securities concerned to the person asserting such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim, to the extent that such sale was an initial resale by the Initial Purchaser and any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim results from the fact that there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person, a copy of the Final Memorandum (with any current supplements or amendments) if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was corrected in the Final Memorandum (as supplemented or amended) and the Company had previously furnished copies to the Initial Purchaser in a timely manner and in sufficient quantities to permit such delivery.
(b) The Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuers, their directors and officers, and any person who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Issuer Indemnified Party”), from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which such Issuer Indemnified Party may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser to the Company expressly for use in any Memorandum or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in connection with such information.
(c) If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 9, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the institution of such Proceeding, and such Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party or otherwise, unless the failure to provide notice materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim. Such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by such Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or such Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such Proceeding within 30 days of the receipt of notice thereof or such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded upon written advice of counsel that there may be defenses available to it that are different from, additional to, or in conflict with those available to such Indemnifying Party (in which case such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct that
22
portion of the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party, but such Indemnifying Party may employ counsel and participate in the defense thereof, provided the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnifying Party), in any of which events such reasonable fees and expenses shall be borne by such Indemnifying Party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings together with reasonably necessary local counsel representing the Indemnified Parties who are parties to such Proceeding). An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with the written consent of such Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested an Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel that are reimbursable as contemplated by the second sentence of this paragraph, then such Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such Indemnifying Party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such Indemnified Party shall have given such Indemnifying Party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. An Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 9 in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then the applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and of the Initial Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (net of the Initial Purchaser’s discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers bear to the discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchaser under this Agreement. The relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and of the Initial Purchaser on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Issuers or
23
by the Initial Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to above shall be deemed to include any reasonable legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any Proceeding.
(e) The Issuers and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (d) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, the Initial Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities resold by it in the initial placement of such Securities were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which the Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Issuers and the Initial Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect (regardless, with respect to representations and warranties of the Issuers, of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser, its directors or officers or any person who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Issuers, their directors and officers or any person who controls an Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Securities. The Company and the Initial Purchaser agree promptly to notify the other of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company, against any other Issuer or against any of the Company’s or any Issuer’s officers and directors, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities, or in connection with any Memorandum.
10. Information Furnished by the Underwriters. The statements set forth in the seventh paragraph of the text under the caption “Plan of distribution” in the Final Memorandum, insofar as such statements relate to overallotment and stabilization, constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser as such information is referred to in Sections 3 and 9 hereof.

Re: Curative Health Services,
Inc.
10¾% Senior Notes
due 2011
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Curative Health Services, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”) and CHS Services, Inc. (“CHS”), xXxxXxxx.xxx Inc. (“eBioCare”), Hemophilia Access, Inc. (“Access”), Curative Pharmacy Services, Inc. (“CPS”), Apex Therapeutic Care, Inc. (“Apex”), Infinity Infusion, LLC (“Infinity”), Curative Health Services of New York, Inc. (“CNY”), Infinity Infusion II, LLC (“Infinity II”), Infinity Infusion Care, Ltd. (“Infinity Infusion”), Optimal Care Plus, Inc. (“Optimal”), MedCare, Inc. (“MedCare”), Curative Health Services Co. (“CHSC”), Curative Health Services III Co. (“CHSIII”) and, as of the time of purchase, Critical Care Systems, Inc. (“CCS”) (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”); in connection with the issuance by the Company of $185,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 10¾% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “Notes”) and the guarantees (the “Guarantees”) thereof by the Subsidiaries (in such context, the “Guarantors”; the Company and the Guarantors are herein referred to as the “Issuers”). The Notes and Guarantees are referred to herein as the “Securities”. The Securities are being issued pursuant to (i) the Purchase Agreement dated as of April 20, 2004 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Issuers and you and (ii) the Indenture, dated as of April 23, 2004, by and among the Issuers and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.
We have examined such documents and reviewed such questions of law as we have considered necessary and appropriate for purposes of this opinion.
In rendering our opinions set forth below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures and the conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the legal capacity for all purposes relevant hereto of all natural persons and, with respect to all parties to agreements or instruments relevant hereto other than any Issuer, that such parties had the requisite power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform such agreements or instruments, that such agreements or instruments have been duly authorized
B-1
by all requisite action (corporate or otherwise), executed and delivered by such parties and that such agreements or instruments are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such parties. As to questions of fact material to our opinions, we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Issuers and of public officials, including those delivered on the date hereof.
Our opinions expressed below as to certain factual matters are qualified as being limited “to our knowledge” or by other words to the same or similar effect. Such words, as used herein, mean the information known to Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, L. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxx, X. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx L. S. Xxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, who are those attorneys at our firm who have represented the Issuers in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Indenture, Registration Rights Agreement and the Final Memorandum or who have generally given significant substantive attention to matters involving the Issuers. In rendering such opinions, we have not conducted any independent, factual investigation or consulted with other attorneys in our firm with respect to the matters covered thereby. No inference as to our knowledge with respect to such factual matters should be drawn from the fact of our limited representation of the Issuers.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota, and has the corporate power and authority to own and lease its properties and conduct its business as described in the Final Memorandum and to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, the Original Notes, the Exchange Notes, the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture.

B-2
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; CHSC is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota; and CHSIII is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota.
4. Each of the Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as the case may be, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction indicated opposite its name in Exhibit H to the Purchase Agreement.
5. Each of CHS, eBioCare, CPS, Apex, CNY, Optimal, MedCare, CCS, CHSC and CHSIII has the corporate power and authority to own and lease its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, its Guarantee, the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture; and each of Infinity and Infinity II has the limited liability company power, and Infinity Fusion has the partnership power, to own and lease its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, its Guarantee, the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture.
6. Except as described in the Final Memorandum, each document filed pursuant to the Exchange Act after December 31, 2003 and on or prior to the date of our opinion by the Company with the Commission (except for the financial statements and schedules and other financial and accounting data included therein as to which we need not express any opinion), when so filed, complied as to form in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
7. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of eBioCare and Apex have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and, except as disclosed in the Final Memorandum, are, to our knowledge, owned by the Company.
8. All of the outstanding limited partnership interests of Infinity Infusion have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and, except as disclosed in the Final Memorandum, are, to our knowledge, indirectly owned by the Company.
9. The execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities, the consummation by the Issuers of the transactions contemplated thereby and the issuance of the Securities, do not and will not conflict with, result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default under (nor constitute any event which with notice, lapse of time or both would result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under or give the holder of any indebtedness (or a person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a part of such indebtedness under), the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the respective charter, bylaws and organizational documents of its Subsidiaries, any of the agreements and documents listed as exhibits to the last annual report on Form 10-K
B-3
filed by the Company prior to the Closing Date and any filing by the Company under the Exchange Act after such Form 10-K was so filed and prior to the Closing Date, the Credit Agreement (as the Credit Agreement is in effect as of the time of purchase) or the Stock Purchase Agreement (other than any violation of or conflict with any financial tests and financial covenants set forth in any of such agreements and documents as to which we express no opinion), or under any law of the United States, the State of California, the State of Minnesota, the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, or under any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or regulatory body of the United States, the State of California, the State of Minnesota or the State of New York (it being understood that we do not opine as to any applicable provisions of federal or state laws governing Medicare or any state Medicaid programs, including, without limitation, Sections 1320a-7a and 1320a-7b of Title 42 of the United States Code or any of the other healthcare or similar laws and regulations referred to in the Final Memorandum under the captions “Business of Curative—Specialty Pharmacy Services Business Unit—Specialty Pharmacy Services—Reimbursement,” “Business of Curative—Specialty Healthcare Services Business Unit—Specialty Healthcare Services—Third Party Reimbursement” and “Business of Curative—Government Regulation”), or any decree, judgment or order known to us to be applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
10. The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Issuers.
11. The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Issuers and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of each of the Issuers, enforceable against such Issuers in accordance with its terms.
12. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Issuers and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of each of the Issuers, enforceable against such Issuers in accordance with its terms.
13. The Original Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and when duly authenticated and issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Initial Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement.
14. The Exchange Notes have been duly authorized by the Company and when duly issued, executed and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and authenticated by the Trustee, the Exchange Notes will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
15. The Guarantee of each Guarantor has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Guarantor and, when the Original Notes are duly authenticated in accordance
B-4
with the terms of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Initial Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms and, when the Exchange Notes are duly authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the guarantee by each Guarantor of the Exchange Notes will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms.
16. No approval, authorization, consent or order of or filing with any federal, state, local or foreign governmental or regulatory commission, board, body, authority or agency, or of or with the rules of The Nasdaq National Market, or approval of the shareholders of the Company, is required in connection with the issuance and sale by the Issuers of the Securities or the consummation of the transactions as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and by the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Securities other than (i) as may be required under the securities or blue sky laws of the various jurisdictions in which the Securities are being offered by the Initial Purchaser; (ii) as may be required by federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended) with respect to the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement; or (iii) as may be required by any applicable provisions of federal or state laws governing Medicare or any state Medicaid programs, including, without limitation, Sections 1320a-7a and 1320a-7b of Title 42 of the United States Code or any of the other healthcare or similar laws and regulations referred to in the Final Memorandum under the captions “Business of Curative—Specialty Pharmacy Services Business Unit—Specialty Pharmacy Services—Reimbursement,” “Business of Curative—Specialty Healthcare Services Business Unit—Specialty Healthcare Services—Third Party Reimbursement” and “Business of Curative—Government Regulation”
17.

Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is, nor after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Final Memorandum will any of them be required to register as, an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
19. The terms of the Original Notes, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture conform as to legal matters in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Final Memorandum.
B-5
20. To our knowledge, there are no claims or lawsuits pending or overtly threatened against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or to which any of their respective properties would be subject, or against any of their respective directors or officers, in their capacity as officer or director, before or by any federal, state, local or foreign governmental or regulatory commission, board, body, authority or agency (i) that would be required to be described in a registration statement for an offering registered under the Securities Act that are not described in the Final Memorandum or in an Exchange Act document filed with the Commission by the Company or (ii) that if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to consummate the offering of the Notes and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture.
21. The statements in the Final Memorandum under the captions “Related party transactions,” “Description of other indebtedness,” “Description of notes,” “Material United States income tax considerations” and “Notice to investors,” insofar as such statements constitute a summary of documents referred to therein or matters of law, are accurate in all material respects and present fairly the information referred to therein.
22. To our knowledge, no person has the right, pursuant to the terms of any contract, agreement or other instrument described in the Final Memorandum or included as an exhibit to any Exchange Act document filed by the Company since December 31, 2003 or otherwise known to us, (i) other than as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, to cause the Company to register under the Securities Act any securities of any Issuer, or to include any such securities in the registration statement to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, whether as a result of the sale of the Securities as contemplated in the Purchase Agreement or otherwise or (ii) other than the Initial Purchaser, to act as an initial purchaser, underwriter or financial advisor with respect to the offering of the Notes or to receive a fee in connection therewith.
23. We have reviewed the transactions described under the caption “Related party transactions” in the Final Memorandum and under the caption “Note Q – Related Party Transactions” in the audited financial statements of the Company included in the Final Memorandum and in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Commission on March 15, 2004, and we are of the opinion that such transactions do not violate Section 402 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act.
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and exceptions:
Our opinions in paragraphs 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 above are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, statutes of limitation or other similar laws and judicial decisions affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity, including (without limitation) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, estoppel, election of remedies and other similar doctrines affecting the enforceability of agreements generally (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in
B-6
equity or at law). In addition, the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, the appointment of a receiver or other equitable remedies is subject to the discretion of the tribunal before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.
Our opinions in paragraphs 7 and 8 are based solely on our review of the following documents:
• Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 19, 2001, by and among the Company and the stockholders of xXxxXxxx.xxx (the “xXxxXxxx.xxx Agreement”) and all of the agreements, documents and opinions executed at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the xXxxXxxx.xxx Agreement as expressly referred to in the xXxxXxxx.xxx Agreement;
• Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 27, 2002 by and among the Company and the stockholders of Apex (the “Apex Agreement”) and all of the agreements, documents and opinions executed at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Apex Agreement as expressly referred to in the Apex Agreement;
• Purchase Agreement dated as of June 10, 2002 by and among the Company. Infinity, Infinity II, Infinity Infusion and the partners of Infinity Infusion (the “Infinity Agreement”) and all of the agreements, documents and opinions executed at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Infinity Agreement as expressly referred to in the Infinity Agreement; and
• a certificate of an officer of the Company.
Although we have reviewed the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Access, the partnership agreement of Infinity Infusion, and the resolutions adopted by each of Access and Infinity Infusion with respect to the authorization of the execution and delivery of its Guarantee, the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture, for the purposes of our opinions in paragraphs 10, 11, 12 and 15 above, we have assumed that (i) Access has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, its Guarantee, the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture, (ii) Infinity Infusion has the partnership power and authority to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, its Guarantee, the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture, and (iii) each of Access and Infinity Infusion has duly authorized the execution and delivery of its Guarantee, the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture.
Our opinions in Paragraph 15 above are subject to the defenses available to a guarantor under applicable law, but the waivers of such defenses set forth in the Guarantee are enforceable, subject to the other exceptions set forth herein.
B-7
We express no opinion as to the enforceability of (i) waivers by parties of any statutory or constitutional rights or remedies, (ii) provisions providing that waivers or consents by a party may not be given effect unless in writing or that one or more waivers may not under certain circumstances constitute a waiver of other matters of the same kind, (iii) any indemnification and contribution rights, which may be limited by applicable law and (iv) obligations of any party to pay any default interest rate, early termination fee or other form of liquidated damages, to the extent that the payment of such interest rate, fee or damages is construed as unreasonable in relation to actual damages or disproportionate to actual damages suffered by the party to which such amounts are paid as a result of such default or termination, or is otherwise not qualified as liquidated damages.
With respect to our opinions in paragraph 17 above, we have relied upon the accuracy of (a) the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchaser in the Purchase Agreement and (b) the representations, warranties and covenants of the Issuers in Sections 3(cc) and 3(dd) of the Purchase Agreement.
Minnesota Statutes § 290.371, Subd. 4, provides that any corporation required to file a Notice of Business Activities Report does not have a cause of action upon which it may bring suit under Minnesota law unless the corporation has filed a Notice of Business Activities Report and provides that the use of the courts of the State of Minnesota for all contracts executed and all causes of action that arose before the end of any period for which a corporation failed to file a required report is precluded. Insofar as our opinion may relate to the valid, binding and enforceable character of any agreement under Minnesota law or in a Minnesota court, we have assumed that any party other than the Company seeking to enforce such agreement has at all times been, and will continue at all times to be, exempt from the requirement of filing a Notice of Business Activities Report or, if not exempt, has duly filed, and will continue to duly file, all Notice of Business Activities Reports.
Our opinions expressed above are limited to the laws of the States of California, Minnesota and New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the federal laws of the United States of America.
We express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision of the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the Securities related to choice of law (or to submission to the jurisdiction of any federal court or any express or implied waiver of any objection to venue in any court or of any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum) except as set forth below. Subject to the following sentence, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture in any court of the State of Minnesota or in any federal court sitting in the State of Minnesota, such court would recognize and give effect to the provisions of Section 12.09 of the Indenture relating to the parties’ choice of New York law as governing the Indenture. Such courts might not give effect to such choice of law provisions if giving effect to such provisions were determined to be contrary to a fundamental policy of the State of Minnesota at such time, but we are not aware of any existing precedent refusing to give effect to a choice of law provision in a substantial
B-8
commercial contract on purely public policy grounds. In addition, we have assumed for the purposes of this opinion that in selecting New York law the parties are acting in good faith and without an intent to evade the law. To the extent that the Indenture expressly provides for the laws of the State of New York to govern such document, such choice of New York law as the governing law of such document is a valid choice of law under the laws of the State of New York. State courts in the State of New York and the federal courts sitting in the State of New York would honor the choice of law provisions in the Indenture providing that New York law will govern. We express no opinion as to whether any other courts would honor any express choice of law provision contained in the Indenture. Except as provided in the preceding sentences, we express no opinion as to what law would govern any particular issue under the Indenture.
In connection with the preparation of the Final Memorandum, we have participated in various discussions and meetings with officers and other representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent public accountants of the Company and representatives of the Initial Purchaser. We have also examined copies of certain documents filed with the Commission by the Company, certain minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees thereof and meetings of the shareholders of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as set forth in the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ minute books, and other documents furnished to us by the Company. Although we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the statements contained in the Final Memorandum and do not assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Final Memorandum (except as and to the extent stated in paragraphs 19 and 21 above), during the course of the above-described procedures, nothing came to our attention that led us to believe that the Final Memorandum as of its date or as of the date of our opinion contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that we express no view with respect to the financial statements, the notes thereto and the related schedules and other financial or accounting data included or incorporated by reference in the Final Memorandum).
This letter is being furnished to you solely for your benefit and may not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any other person without our prior written consent, provided, however, that Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP may rely on this opinion solely with respect to matters of Minnesota law as expressly set forth in, and solely in connection with the delivery by Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP of, its opinion dated as of the date hereof to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to Section 7(g) of the Purchase Agreement.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICERS’ CERTIFICATE
I, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Executive Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer of Curative Health Services, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), hereby certify that:
(i) I am familiar with the terms of (a) the amended and restated credit agreement dated as of the date hereof among General Electric Capital Corporation, as agent, the Company and the other parties listed therein; (b) the promissory notes dated February 28, 2002 (and amended as of May 30, 2002) maturing February 28, 2007 made by the Company; (c) the promissory notes dated June 28, 2002 made by the Company maturing on June 28, 2007; (d) the promissory notes dated October 23, 2002 made by the Company maturing on October 23, 2005; (e) the promissory note made by the Company to the United States Department of Justice maturing on December 28, 2005; and (f) any and all other agreements relating to the indebtedness of the Company and the Subsidiaries outstanding on the date hereof (each as may be amended as of the date hereof, collectively, and together with the instruments specified in (a) through (f) inclusive, the “Debt Agreements”). For the purpose of this certificate, I have reviewed in particular the covenants contained in the Debt Agreements, including those which require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or similar requirements by the Company and/or which prohibit the incurring of debt by the Company under various circumstances, and the events of default provided for by the Debt Agreements.
(ii) On the date hereof, there exists no event of default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an event of default under the Debt Agreements.
(iii) Neither the issuance by the Company of up to $185,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, nor the issuance by the Company of Exchange Notes will result in an event of default or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an event of default under the Debt Agreements.
(iv) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for the purposes of this certificate, I have made or caused to be made the computations set forth in Schedule A hereto as of December 31, 2003 of certain financial ratios under the Debt Agreements, which were utilized in order to make the statements contained herein. The terms used in Schedule A hereto are defined in the Debt Agreements.

G-1
and reliable, made and furnished to me by employees of the Company in the regular course of their duty. I am also sufficiently familiar with the present financial condition and operating results of the Company and the Subsidiaries that any material changes in the facts underlying the data relied upon by me in making this certificate occurring since the respective dates of such data would have come to my attention prior to the date hereof in the regular course of business.
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
