<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The legality of the shares offered hereby is being passed upon for the
Registrant by Troutman Sanders LLP, Atlanta, Georgia. Carl E. Sanders, a
director of the Registrant and the Chairman of Troutman Sanders LLP, is the
beneficial owner of 35,767 shares of the Common Stock of the Registrant.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>ITEM 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</u></B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) permits
a corporation to indemnify officers, directors, employees and agents against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement if such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation, and with respect to any criminal actions, had no reasonable cause
to believe was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in the right
of a corporation, the corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made
in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless a court finds that, in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper. The
DGCL provides that a corporation may advance expenses of defense (upon receipt
of a written undertaking to reimburse the corporation if indemnification is not
appropriate) and must reimburse a successful defendant for expenses, including
attorney&#146;s fees, actually and reasonably incurred, and permits a corporation to
purchase and maintain liability insurance for its directors and officers.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides that Registrant
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify its directors and
officers against any liability, losses or related expenses which they may incur
by reason of serving or having served as directors and officers of Registrant.
The Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation limits Registrant&#146;s directors&#146;
liability for monetary damages to Registrant and its stockholders for breaches
of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL
permits Delaware corporations to

<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always">&nbsp;</H5><P>

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">include in their certificate of incorporation
a provision eliminating or limiting director liability for monetary damages
arising from breaches of fiduciary duty. The only limitations imposed under
the statute
are that the provision may not eliminate or limit a director&#146;s liability (i)
for breaches of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving
intentional misconduct or known violations of law, (iii)&nbsp;for the payment of
unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions or (iv)&nbsp;for
transactions in which the director received an improper personal benefit.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provide that each person who is involved in any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
officer of Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
respect to an employee benefit plan, will be indemnified by the corporation to
the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter
be amended, against all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and
such indemnification will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and will inure to the benefit or his or
her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that Registrant
will indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a
proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by
Registrant&#146;s Board of Directors. The right to indemnification is a contract
right and includes the right to be paid by Registrant the expenses incurred in
defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,
however, that if the DGCL so requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by
a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding will
be made only upon delivery to Registrant of an undertaking, by or on behalf of
such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it will
ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be
indemnified. The Registrant may provide indemnification to employees and
agents of Registrant with the same scope and effect as the foregoing
indemnification of directors and officers.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification rights conferred by the Registrant&#146;s Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws are not exclusive of any other right to which a person
seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Registrant maintains
an insurance policy on behalf of its directors and officers insuring against
certain liabilities including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Matria Healthcare, Inc. ("Registrant") hereby incorporates by reference

and
(d) the description of the Registrant's capital stock contained in

registration statement for the purpose of updating such
description.
In addition, all documents filed subsequent to the date of this
registration statement by the undersigned Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

shall also be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this registration

ITEM 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The legality of the shares offered hereby is being passed upon for the
Registrant by Troutman Sanders LLP, Atlanta, Georgia. Carl E. Sanders, a
director of the Registrant and the Chairman of Troutman Sanders LLP, is the
beneficial owner of 35,767 shares of the Common Stock of the Registrant.
ITEM 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") permits
a corporation to indemnify officers, directors, employees and agents against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement if such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation, and with respect to any criminal actions, had no reasonable cause
to believe was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in the right
of a corporation, the corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made
in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless a court finds that, in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper. The
DGCL provides that a corporation may advance expenses of defense (upon receipt
of a written undertaking to reimburse the corporation if indemnification is not
appropriate) and must reimburse a successful defendant for expenses, including
attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred, and permits a corporation to
purchase and maintain liability insurance for its directors and officers.
The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that Registrant
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify its directors and
officers against any liability, losses or related expenses which they may incur
by reason of serving or having served as directors and officers of Registrant.
The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation limits Registrant's directors'
liability for monetary damages to Registrant and its stockholders for breaches
of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL
permits Delaware corporations to
II-2
include in their certificate of incorporation
a provision eliminating or limiting director liability for monetary damages
arising from breaches of fiduciary duty. The only limitations imposed under
the statute
are that the provision may not eliminate or limit a director's liability (i)
for breaches of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving
intentional misconduct or known violations of law, (iii) for the payment of
unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions or (iv) for
transactions in which the director received an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant's Bylaws provide that each person who is involved in any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
officer of Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
respect to an employee benefit plan, will be indemnified by the corporation to
the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter
be amended, against all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and
such indemnification will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and will inure to the benefit or his or
her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that Registrant
will indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a
proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by
Registrant's Board of Directors. The right to indemnification is a contract
right and includes the right to be paid by Registrant the expenses incurred in
defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,
however, that if the DGCL so requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by
a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding will
be made only upon delivery to Registrant of an undertaking, by or on behalf of
such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it will
ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be
indemnified. The Registrant may provide indemnification to employees and
agents of Registrant with the same scope and effect as the foregoing
indemnification of directors and officers.
The indemnification rights conferred by the Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws are not exclusive of any other right to which a person
seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Registrant maintains
an insurance policy on behalf of its directors and officers insuring against
certain liabilities including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

ITEM 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
Rule 415 offerings.
undertakes:
The undersigned Registrant hereby
II-4
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high and
of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section
13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated
by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)      Filings incorporating subsequent Exchange Act documents by
reference. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each filing of the Registrant's annual report
II-5
pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(c)      Filing of registration statement on Form S-8. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-6
