          The Borrowers and the Lender have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2007 (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “ LSA ”; capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed thereto in the LSA).
          Each of BioScrip and Chronimed is benefiting from the transactions described in the LSA and is a beneficiary thereof and has entered into an Amended and Restated Guaranty (the “ Guaranty ”), pursuant to which it is jointly and severally guarantying the obligations of the Borrowers under the LSA.
          Each Grantor and the Lender would like to amend and restate the Pledge Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2006, among the Grantors (other than Chronimed) and the Lender (the “ Original Pledge Agreement ”) to, among other things, add Chronimed as a Grantor and restate the obligations being secured.
          It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the LSA and the making of any financial accommodations under the LSA that the Grantors execute and deliver a pledge agreement in the form hereof to secure the following (collectively, the “Obligations" ): (a) the payment in full of the Lender Debt under the LSA and (b) all obligations of each Grantor at any time and from time to time under this Pledge Agreement, including without limitation any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) paid or incurred in enforcing any rights under this Pledge Agreement.
          NOW, THEREFORE, the Grantors and the Lender hereby agree to amend and restate the Original Pledge Agreement as follows:
          1.  Pledge . As security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations, each Grantor hereby transfers, grants, bargains, sells, conveys, hypothecates, pledges, sets over, endorses over, and delivers unto the Lender, and grants to the Lender, for its own benefit, a security interest in (a) the shares of capital stock, limited liability company interests and membership interests listed in Schedule I annexed hereto next to such Grantor’s name (the “ Initial Pledged Equity ”), any additional shares of common stock, limited liability company interests and membership interests of the issuers listed in Schedule I annexed hereto obtained in the future by such Grantor and any capital stock, limited liability

Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule showing a description of the securities theretofore and then being pledged hereunder, which schedule shall be annexed to Schedule I hereto and made a part hereof.
