Provision of Amended and Restated Code of Ethics relating to element enumerated in Item 406(b):  See Amended and Restated Code of Ethics, Your Obligations Under Our Code and Violations and Waivers of the Code of Ethics and Conduct, Obligation to Report Violations.

Provision of Amended and Restated Code of Ethics relating to element enumerated in Item 406(b):  See Amended and Restated Code of Ethics, Your Obligations Under Our Code and Violations and Waivers of the Code of Ethics and Conduct, Obligation to Report Violations.

The Company will provide a copy of the Amended and Restated Code of Ethics, without charge, to any person who sends a written request addressed to the Chairman and CEO at Critical Home Care, Inc. at 26777 Central Park Blvd., Suite 200 Southfield, Michigan 48076. 

The Company will file a copy of the Amended and Restated Code of Ethics as an exhibit to its next annual report.
