The total amount of the Distribution attributable to a Disputed Claim or disputed Equity Interest (or such lesser amount that the Bankruptcy Court may determine) shall be held in reserve from Plan Funding Cash by Reorganized Coram pending resolution of the Claim by the Bankruptcy Court or agreement of the Trustee and the holder of such Claim. The holder of a Disputed Claim or disputed Equity Interest shall not be entitled to receive or recover any amount in excess of the amount reserved to pay such Claim or Equity Interest. Nothing in the Plan or Disclosure Statement shall be deemed to entitle any holder of a Disputed Claim or disputed Equity Interest to post-petition interest on account of such Claim or Equity Interest. Distributions to each holder of a Disputed Claim or Equity Interest that ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed 21 Equity Interest shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Plan with respect to the class in which the respective Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest is a member without interest accruing after the Effective Date. Any such Distributions shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the Bankruptcy Court enters a Final Order allowing such Claim. 6.3 ESTIMATION OF CLAIMS. The Trustee may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law.

To the extent that Rule 9019 of the Bankruptcy Rules is applicable to the settlements, this Plan shall be deemed a properly served motion by the Trustee pursuant to Rule 9019(a) of the Bankruptcy Rules for approval of the settlements. The following settlements relating to the Plan shall be deemed approved by the Bankruptcy Court upon entry of the Confirmation Order: 7.1 PLAN FUNDING AGREEMENT. The Trustee has entered into the Plan Funding Agreement with the Noteholders. Under the Plan Funding Agreement, the Noteholders have agreed to provide Reorganized Coram and the estate of CHC with $56 million (in cash and the assumption of the Deferred Tax Claim) to be used in funding payments to be made under the Plan. In return, the Noteholders and all present and former officers, directors, members or employees of the Noteholders and their respective affiliates, agents, representatives and counsel (collectively, "Releasees"), shall be provided with a full and complete general release from any 22 and all claims arising out of or related to the relationship between the Debtors and the Releasees, including the Proposed Derivative Claims.

Barrie 1600 Market Street, Suite 3600 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 (215) 751-2000 Dated: April 15, 2004 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 38 EXHIBIT A NY2:\1388043\06\TR0R06!.DOC\71620.0009 Amended and Restated Plan Funding and Settlement Agreement dated as of April , 2004 ("Amended Agreement"), among Arlin M. Adams, in his capacity as chapter 11 trustee ("Trustee") of Coram Healthcare Corporation ("CHC") and Coram, Inc. ("Coram" and together with CHC, the "Debtors"), and not individually, Cerberus Partners, L.P. ("Cerberus"), Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., formerly known as Foothill Capital Corporation, and Foothill Income Trust (collectively, "Foothill"), and Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. ("GSCP" and together with Cerberus and Foothill, the "Noteholders"). Recitals: A. CHC and Coram each commenced a voluntary case under chapter 11 of title 11 U.S.C. Sections 101 et sec. ("Bankruptcy Code") on August 8, 2000 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware ("Bankruptcy Court") at Case Nos. 00-3299 (MFW) and 00-3300 (MFW) respectively, which cases are being jointly administered; and B. The Debtors filed their first joint plan of reorganization ("First Plan") on August 8, 2000, together with a disclosure statement in respect of the First Plan and, on December 21, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court denied confirmation of the First Plan; and C. The Debtors' second joint plan of reorganization was dated and filed with the Bankruptcy Court on July 31, 2001 ("Second Plan"), and confirmation of the Second Plan was denied pursuant to a written opinion issued by the Bankruptcy Court on December 21, 2001; and D. Thereafter, based upon two motions for the appointment of a chapter 11 trustee for the Debtors made by Foothill and Goldman Sachs, and the United States 2 NY2:\1388043\06\TR0R06!.DOC\71620.0009 Trustee, the Bankruptcy Court approved the appointment of Arlin M. Adams as chapter 11 trustee for the Debtors on March 7, 2002; and E. The Committee of Equity Security Holders of CHC ("Equity Committee") has asserted that the Trustee should commence an action against Daniel Crowley, former Chief Executive Officer of the Debtors, present and former members of the board of directors of CHC, the Noteholders and other persons ("Prospective Defendants") and has furnished to the Trustee a draft complaint ("Draft Complaint") alleging, among other things, causes of action for avoidance of preferential transfers under Section 547(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the alleged breach of fiduciary duties, the duties of due care, fraud and under the Federal RICO statute; and F. The Trustee reviewed the Draft Complaint, conducted such investigations of the allegations of the Draft Complaint and consulted such experts as he deemed appropriate and consistent with his fiduciary duties, and invited each Prospective Defendant to submit a written response to the Draft Complaint. The Noteholders submitted their respective responses to the Draft Complaint and to the Trustee's factual inquiries, denying that there is any liability on their part whatsoever; disputing practically every material fact alleged therein, including every assertion of damage to the Debtors; and asserting that all of their conduct was intended to and did confer a benefit on the Debtors. Thereafter, the Trustee and his counsel met and/or discussed the responses with the Equity Committee and the Prospective Defendants; and G. After consideration of the foregoing and after consulting such experts and counsel as he deemed appropriate, the Trustee concluded that the best interests of the Debtors and their estates, creditors, shareholders and other parties in interest, including 3 NY2:\1388043\06\TR0R06!.DOC\71620.0009 the patients served by the Debtors and the employees of the Debtors would best be served by the Trustee's proposal of a plan of reorganization incorporating the agreements with the Noteholders set forth in that certain Plan Funding and Settlement Agreement with the Noteholders dated as of May 2, 2003 (the "Original Agreement") and other related settlements; and H. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Original Agreement by the parties thereto, the Trustee filed a Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (" Original Plan"). Thereafter, the Trustee filed with the Bankruptcy Court the "Chapter 11 Trustee's Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization" dated June 17, 2003 ("Trustee's Plan"), to which the Noteholders consented. Subsequently, on September 8, 2003, the Trustee filed with the Bankruptcy Court the "Modification to the Chapter 11 Trustee's Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization" dated June 17, 2003 ("Modification"), to which the Noteholders also consented. The Original Plan, the Trustee's Plan and the Modification are all filed of record in the Bankruptcy Court and are incorporated herein by reference; and I. The Trustee and the Noteholders have negotiated a further amendment to the Trustee's Plan, as modified by the Modification, and an amendment to the Original Agreement; and J. The Trustee and the Noteholders desire to amend, restate and replace the Original Agreement in its entirety in order to reflect additional concessions being made by the Noteholders at the Trustee's request, as described below. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows. 4 NY2:\1388043\06\TR0R06!.DOC\71620.0009 1.

The Trustee agrees that the Trustee's Amended Plan will not be materially altered or amended without the prior written consent of the Noteholders, unless such modification or amendment does not adversely affect the business of the Debtors or the Noteholders or the Noteholders' economic interests in Coram, as contemplated in the Trustee's Amended Plan and as they will exist on and after the Effective Date (as defined in the Trustee's Plan) of the Trustee's Amended Plan ("Reorganized Coram"). 2. Plan Funding In order to enable the Trustee to propose and confirm the Trustee's Amended Plan, and to provide the financial wherewithal to consummate such Plan, the Noteholders agree to provide Reorganized Coram and the estate of CHC with funding on (but not before) the Effective Date in the aggregate sum of Fifty-Six Million Dollars ($56,000,000), made up of the following: (a) The Noteholders shall provide the Trustee with cash in the amount equal to the difference between $56 million and the Deferred Tax Claims (as defined below) on and as of the Effective Date of the Trustee's Amended Plan (which amount is estimated to be $40 million); and 5 NY2:\1388043\06\TR0R06!.DOC\71620.0009 (b) The Noteholders shall assume on the Effective Date and pay the Deferred Tax Claim directly to the IRS when due, thereby relieving Reorganized Coram and its subsidiaries from any obligation whatsoever to pay such Deferred Tax Claim. The consideration to the Noteholders for the cash payment described in subsection (a) of this Section 2 and the agreement to assume and pay the Deferred Tax Claim described in Subsection (b) hereof, shall be the shares of new preferred stock of Reorganized Coram that are to be issued pursuant to the Trustee's Amended Plan and that are described on the Certificate of Designation that is annexed hereto as Exhibit B. The proceeds of the cash contribution described in subsection 2(a) hereof, together with the Debtor's net cash on hand and cash equivalents held by or for the Debtors as of the Effective Date of the Trustee's Amended Plan ("Plan Funding Cash"), shall be used for the following purposes: (i) for the payment in full of all allowed (A) Pre-Effective Date administrative expense claims; (B) claims entitled to priority under section 507 of the Bankruptcy Code other than the Deferred Tax Claim, if any; (C) allowed secured claims against the Debtors, if any; (D) allowed general unsecured claims against the Debtors; (ii) for working capital of $10 million, the minimum amount necessary to enable Reorganized Coram to operate its business in the ordinary course following the Effective Date; and (iii) to make payment under the Trustee's Plan to the holders of allowed CHC equity interests in an amount equal to remaining Plan Funding Cash, which the parties at this time estimate will total in excess of $40 million. Reorganized Coram is entitled, by virtue of the Debtors' agreement with the IRS. which was approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court dated October 31, 2003, to defer payment of certain federal income taxes plus any interest accrued thereon and penalties that have not been abrogated (the 6 NY2:\1388043\06\TR0R06!.DOC\71620.0009 "Deferred Tax Claim"). As provided in subsection 2(b) above, the Noteholders shall assume on the Effective Date and pay when due, the amount of Deferred Tax Claim, so as to relieve Reorganized Coram and its subsidiaries from the entire burden of paying the Deferred Tax Claim. In computing Plan Funding Cash, there shall be taken into account as of the time of the computation all outstanding ordinary course vendor payments and checks that have been issued and have not been debited from the bank accounts of the Debtors and wire transfer instructions that have been issued by the Debtors but not yet honored by the transferring institution. 3. Dissolution of CHC The Trustee shall cause the dissolution of CHC promptly following the Effective Date, in accordance with the provisions of the Trustee's Amended Plan. The Trustee shall, however, cause the distribution of the consideration to be distributed to holders of claims against and equity interests in CHC under and in accordance with the provisions of the Trustee's Amended Plan. 4. Corporate Matters The Trustee's Amended Plan contemplates that the Noteholders shall be the sole shareholders of Reorganized Coram from and after the Effective Date. Accordingly, the Trustee agrees and acknowledges that the corporate charter, by-laws, other organizational documents for Reorganized Coram shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Noteholders, subject in all events to the provisions of this Amended Agreement and the requirements of Sections 1123 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. 7 NY2:\1388043\06\TR0R06!.DOC\71620.0009 5.
