The Issuers shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and their respective Affiliates and controlling Persons, and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents and other representatives of each of the foregoing and their respective successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actual losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including Attorney Costs but limited in the case of legal fees and expenses to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole) and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction that is material to the interests of the Purchasers, and solely in the case of an actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to the affected Indemnitees similarly situated), in each case except allocated costs of in-house counsel, of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Notes Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) the Notes or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (c) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any property or facility currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Note Parties or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability of or relating to the Note Parties or any Subsidiary, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) (a “Proceeding”) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or whether or not such Proceeding is brought by the Issuers or any other person and, in each case, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses resulted from (w) the gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Indemnified Persons, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (x) a material breach of any obligations under any Notes Document by such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Indemnified Persons, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Issuers or any of their Affiliates or (z) settlements effected without the Issuers’ prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if settled with Issuers’ written consent, or if there is a final judgment against an Indemnitee, the Issuers shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee to the extent and the manner set forth above. In case any Proceeding is instituted involving any Indemnitee for which indemnification is to be sought hereunder by such Indemnitee, then such Indemnitee will promptly notify the Parent Issuer of the commencement of any such Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Parent Issuer will not relieve the Issuers from any liability to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8.2. Each applicable Indemnitee (by accepting the benefits hereof) agrees to refund and return any and all amounts paid by or on behalf of the Issuers (or any other Note Party) to such Indemnitee, in each case, pursuant to the terms of this paragraph to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to the payment thereof pursuant to the terms of this paragraph, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement (except for direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive or consequential) damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct, or material breach of this Agreement or the other Notes Documents, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, of any such Indemnitee), nor shall any Indemnitee, Related Indemnified Person, Note Party or any Subsidiary have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Notes Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date) (other than, in the case of any Note Party, in respect of any such obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements, claims or expenses incurred or paid or required to be paid by an Indemnitee to a third party (including another Indemnitee)). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.2 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Note Party, any Subsidiary of any Note Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Notes Documents are consummated. All amounts due under this Section 8.2 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request). The agreements in this Section 8.2 shall survive the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Secured Obligations.

Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Issuers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Notes or other obligations under the Notes Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

In addition, the Purchasers may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Purchasers in connection with the administration and management of the Notes and the other Notes Documents; provided that such Person is advised and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Section 9.5 shall prohibit any GS Purchaser or any Ares Purchaser from disclosing any information to any lender to, or managed account or limited partner of, such GS Purchaser or such Ares Purchaser to the extent such information is subject to customary confidentiality obligations binding on such lender, managed account or limited partner pursuant to customary investment advisory, fund or loan documentation.

This Section 9.7 shall not prohibit any party hereto or any holder of the Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.
Section 9.8 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

This Solvency Certificate is being executed and delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(vii) of that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among HC Group Holdings II, LLC (formerly known as Beta Sub, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub 2” through the consummation of the Merger, and immediately after the consummation of the Merger and the effectiveness of the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below) until the consummation of the Debt Assumption, the “Initial Issuer”), BioScrip, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and, upon the consummation of the Debt Assumption, the “Parent Issuer”), the other Issuers party thereto from time to time, the Guarantors party thereto from time to time, each of the GS Purchasers party thereto and each of the Ares Purchasers party thereto (the “Note Purchase Agreement”); the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined or in the indenture, dated as of the date hereof, among the Initial Issuer, Parent Issuer, the Subsidiary Issuers and Guarantors party thereto from time to time and Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as trustee and as collateral agent (the “Indenture”).
I, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, the chief financial officer of the Parent Issuer, solely in such capacity and not in an individual capacity, hereby certify that I am the chief financial officer of the Parent Issuer and that I am generally familiar with the business and assets of the Parent Issuer and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), I have made such other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed appropriate and I am duly authorized to execute this Solvency Certificate on behalf of the Parent Issuer pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.
I further certify, solely in my capacity as chief financial officer of the Parent Issuer, and not in my individual capacity, as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the Transactions and the incurrence of the indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection therewith, that on the date hereof (a) the sum of the debt (including contingent liabilities) of the Parent Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, does not exceed the present fair saleable value (on a going concern basis) of the assets of the Parent Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (b) the capital of the Parent Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is not unreasonably small in relation to the business of the Parent Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, contemplated as of the date hereof; and (c) the Parent Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts including current obligations beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature in the ordinary course of business. For the purposes hereof, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (irrespective of whether such contingent liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5).
