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

Item
      4.          Description
      of Securities
The Plan
provides a select group of management and highly compensated employees
("Eligible Employees") and non-employee directors ("Directors") of the Company
and certain of its subsidiaries with the opportunity to defer the receipt of
certain pre-tax cash compensation.
3
The
obligations of the Company under the Plan (the "Deferred Compensation
Obligations") will be general unsecured obligations of the Company to pay
deferred compensation in the future to participating Eligible Employees and
Directors ("Participants") in accordance with the terms of the Plan from the
general assets of the Company and will rank equally with other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company from time to time outstanding. The
Deferred Compensation Obligations will be denominated and payable in United
States dollars.
Subject
to certain limits set forth in the Plan (including a minimum deferral amount of
five percent of salary), each Participant may elect to defer up to 80% of his or
her salary, up to 100% of his or her director's fees and/or up to 100% of his or
her bonus, if any, payable with respect to a particular calendar year
("Deferrals"). To the extent any Participant receives a refund under the Sun
Healthcare Group, Inc. 401(k) Plan as a result of limitations on contributions
by that Participant under the terms of the 401(k) Plan and applicable law (an
"Excess 401(k) Benefit"), the amount of the Excess 401(k) Benefit may be
deferred under the Plan from compensation otherwise payable to the
Participant.  Each Participant's Deferrals and the amount of any
deferred Excess 401(k) Benefit are credited with matching contributions from the
Company, at the Company's discretion from year to year, of up to 25% of the
first 6% of compensation deferred (subject to offset for any matching
contributions under the 401(k) Plan), and may also be credited with
discretionary contributions from the Company.
Each  Participant's
Deferrals, together with any Excess 401(k) Benefit amount which is deferred and
Company contributions, are credited to a "Deferral Account" in the form of cash.
The Deferral Account is used for bookkeeping purposes only.

Participant is generally 100% vested in the Participant's Deferral Account at
all times, however any discretionary contributions from the Company credited to
a Participant's Deferral Account may be subject to vesting requirements. A
Participant's Deferrals are credited to the Participant's Deferral Account as
soon as practicable after the Company otherwise would have paid the amount of
the Deferrals to the Participant. A Participant's deferred Excess 401(k) Benefit
amount for a given year is generally credited to the Participant's Deferral
Account in the first quarter of the next year.  Company matching
contributions for a plan year are credited to the Participant's Deferral Account
as soon as practicable after the applicable plan year, and any discretionary
contributions will be credited as soon as practicable after they are
declared.  Amounts in a Participant's Deferral Account are credited on
a daily basis with deemed earnings or losses associated with deemed investments
in investment alternatives selected by the Participant in accordance with the
terms of the Plan. The amounts in a Participant's Deferral Account will not,
however, actually be invested in the investment alternatives.
A
Participant may elect to receive a distribution of the Participant's
Deferral Accounts on the Participant's separation from service, death or
disability, upon the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency or a change in
control, or on a date or dates selected by the Participant. With respect to
distributions on the Participant's separation from service on or after
retirement or early retirement, on the Participant's disability or on a date or
dates specified by the Participant, the Participant may elect to receive a
distribution of the Participant's Deferral Accounts in a single lump sum payment
or in installments over a period of two to  fifteen years (five years
for distributions on a specified date). If a Participant becomes entitled to
a
4
distribution
due to the Participant's separation from service prior to retirement or early
retirement, or due to the  occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency or
change in control, the Participant will receive the distribution of the
Participant's Deferral Accounts (including any amounts the Participant
previously had elected to receive on a specific date or dates) in a single lump
sum payment. The Company also may distribute the Participant's Deferral Accounts
in a single lump sum payment if the total value of the Participant's Deferral
Account does not exceed an amount specified in the Plan. The Participant's
Deferral Account is paid in the form of cash.
Except
for transfers pursuant to qualified domestic relations orders, no amount payable
or deliverable under the Plan will be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, voluntary or
involuntary.
The
Deferred Compensation Obligations are not subject to redemption, in whole or in
part, prior to the individual payment dates selected by the Participants. The
Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any
time.
The
total amount of the Deferred Compensation Obligations are not determinable
because the amount will vary depending upon the level of participation by
Eligible Employees and Directors and the amounts of their salaries, bonuses,
fees or the Excess 401(k) Benefit, if any, to which they are entitled. The
duration of the Plan is indefinite.
The
Deferred Compensation Obligations are not convertible into any other security of
the Company. The Deferred Compensation Obligations will not have the benefit of
a negative pledge or any other affirmative or negative covenant on the part of
the Company. Each Participant will be responsible for acting independently with
respect to, among other things, the giving of notices, responding to any
requests for consents, waivers or amendments pertaining to the Deferred
Compensation Obligations, enforcing covenants and taking action upon a default
by the Company.
Item
      5.          Interests of
      Named Experts and Counsel
The
validity of the issuance of the Deferred Compensation Obligations registered
hereby is passed on for the Company by Michael Newman.  Mr. Newman is
the Company's Executive Vice President, General Counsel and is compensated by
the Company as an employee. Mr. Newman is also an Eligible Employee, and as such
may elect to participate in the Plan.
Item
      6.          Indemnification
      of Directors and Officers
As
authorized by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL"), the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate")
provides that a director of the Company will not be liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent such exemption for liability or limitation thereof is not
permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL provides that the liability of a director may
not be limited (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for
liability for payments of dividends of stock purchased or redemptions in
violation of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit.
5
While
the Certificate provides directors with protection from awards for monetary
damages for breaches of their duty of care, it does not eliminate such duty.
Accordingly, the Certificate will have no effect on the availability of
equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission based on a director's
breach of such director's duty of care.
In
addition, the Company's bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the Company shall
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (a "Covered
Person") who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise
involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he,
or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director of the
Company or an officer of the Company elected by the Board of Directors or, while
a director of the Company or an officer of the Company elected by the Board of
Directors, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another company or of a partnership, joint
venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect
to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such Covered Person.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in the
Bylaws, the Company shall be required to indemnify a Covered Person in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Covered Person
only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Covered
Person was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company.
The
Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance policies insuring
directors and officers of the Company for certain covered losses as defined in
the policies.
The
above discussion of the Company's corporate documents is not intended to be
exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the Company's corporate
documents.

Item
      9.
Undertakings
(a)          The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(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 this Registration Statement (or the most recent
    post-
6
effective
      amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
      fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
      Statement; and
(iii)     To
      include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
      not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material
      change to such information in this 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 with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this 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)      The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in
this 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.
(h)     Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, executive officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above, 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.
