EXPLANATORY NOTE

   On March 25, 2010,  BioScrip, Inc. (the “Registrant”) completed its acquisition of Critical Homecare Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“CHS”) through the merger (the “Merger”) of CHS with and into Camelot Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant (the “Merger Sub”).  As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of CHS ceased and Merger Sub is continues as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company under the name “CHS Holdings, Inc.” The Merger was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 24, 2010, by and among the Registrant, Merger Sub, CHS, Kohlberg Investors V, L.P., Kohlberg Partners V, L.P., Kohlberg Offshore Investors V, L.P., Kohlberg TE Investors V, L.P., KOCO Investors V, L.P., Robert Cucuel, Mary Jane Graves, Nitin Patel, Joey Ryan, Blackstone Mezzanine Partners II L.P., Blackstone Mezzanine Holdings II L.P., and S.A.C. Domestic Capital Funding, Ltd. (the “Merger Agreement”).  In connection with the Merger, a portion of CHS’s existing options under what currently is referred to as the BioScrip/CHS 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) held by the top five executives of CHS, were converted into options for Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Registrant (“Company Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and otherwise remain subject to the terms of the Plan, as amended.  All remaining in-the-money Options were cashed out in connection with the Merger. Out-of-the-money Options were cancelled at the effective time of the Merger.

The Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Form S-8”) amended hereby was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2010 by the Registrant to register the shares of Company Common Stock issuable under the Plan, including shares underlying the converted options which remain subject to the terms of the Plan. On April 26, 2011, the board of directors of the Registrant approved and adopted an amended and restated version of the Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”).  The amendment effected under the Amended and Restated Plan was executed and came into effect on May 2, 2011. The Amended and Restated Plan was amended and restated so that all of the provisions of the Plan will (to the extent practicable) be the same as the corresponding provisions of the BioScrip, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, which provides the Registrant with the ability to grant under the Plan stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, stock grants and, solely to key employees, performance units.  This Amendment No.1 to the Form S-8 has been filed by the Registrant with the SEC to update the Exhibits to the Form S-8 to include the Amended and Restated Plan. All other Items of the Form S-8 are unaffected by this Amendment.
