shares, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, claims, restrictions

OHS Shares will be fully paid and non assessable.
1.2 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF GENTIVA.
(a) The 100 shares of common stock of Gentiva (the "Gentiva Shares") to be
issued on the Contribution Date to Olsten have been duly authorized and,
when issued to Olsten in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
(b) Upon issuance of Gentiva Shares to Olsten in accordance with the terms

stock of Gentiva then owned by Olsten, shall represent all of the shares
of common stock of Gentiva issued and outstanding.

duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(a) Camden represents that it will purchase the Preferred Shares pursuant to
this Agreement for its own account and not as nominee or agent for any
other person and not with a view to, or
B-2
for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within
the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act")) that would be in violation of the securities laws of the United
States of America or any state thereof or any other jurisdiction, without
prejudice, however, to Camden's right at all times to sell or otherwise

registration statement under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.2.
(b) Camden further represents that it is knowledgeable, sophisticated and
experienced in business and financial matters; that it fully understands
the limitations on transfer respecting the Preferred Shares; that it is
able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Preferred Shares
and is presently able to afford the complete loss of such investment;
that it is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act; and that it has been afforded
access to information about Gentiva and Gentiva's financial condition,
results of operations, business, property, management and prospects
sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment in the Preferred
Shares. Camden acknowledges that it has conducted its own analysis of
Gentiva's financial condition and other foregoing factors and that it has
not relied upon the analysis of any other person in determining to make
an investment in the Preferred Shares.
(c) Camden acknowledges that the Preferred Shares to be issued pursuant to
this Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
other applicable securities laws, are being issued and sold in a
transaction not requiring registration under the Securities Act and,
unless so registered, may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred
except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities
Act or any other applicable securities law or pursuant to an exemption
therefrom or in a transaction not subject thereto and in each case in
compliance with the conditions for transfer set forth in paragraph (d) of
this Section 2.2.
(d) Camden understands that the certificates representing the Preferred
Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement will, so long as
appropriate, bear the following legend:
THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), THE
PREFERRED SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER'S COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED.

its records and give instructions to any transfer agent of the Preferred
Shares in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in
this Agreement.
2.3 PURCHASE OF PREFERRED SHARES. Gentiva hereby covenants to issue to Camden on
the Contribution Date, and Camden hereby covenants to purchase from Gentiva
