(vi) Following a Borrower Loan Purchase, no interest shall accrue from and after the Borrower Assignment Effective Date on any Term Loans purchased by the Borrower and such purchased Term Loans shall be deemed cancelled or retired for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrower), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents (notwithstanding any provisions herein or therein to the contrary), including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (C) the providing of any rights to the Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (D) the determination of Requisite Lenders, (E) the calculation of the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.15, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(vii) The Lenders hereby consent to the transactions described in this Section 10.6(i) and waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.6 (other than Section 10.6(i))) and any other Credit Document that might otherwise result in a breach of this Agreement, a Default or an Event of Default as a result of or in connection with the consummation of any Borrower Loan Purchase.

The offer to purchase (as set forth herein, the “Purchase Offer”) Term Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined herein)) will expire at [TIME], New York City time, on [DATE] (the “Expiration Time”). Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) owning Term Loans seeking to accept the Purchase Offer must send in via facsimile or email to the attention of Mike Clawson (Fax. No.: (704)  ###-###-####; email: ***@***) an offer in the form of Annex A hereto (the “Sale Offer”) and a validly executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex B hereto, in each case prior to the Expiration Time.

Subject to the terms and conditions in this Notice of an Offer to Purchase, the Outline of Auction Mechanics (the “Auction Mechanics”) and the related documents (collectively, the “Offer Documents”), Amerigroup Corporation (“we”, “us” or “Purchaser”) is offering to purchase for cash $[     ] (such amount, the “Maximum Offer Amount”) in aggregate principal face amount of Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement at a purchase price not greater than $[     ] (such amount, the “Maximum Purchase Price”) nor less than $[     ] (such amount, the “Minimum Purchase Price”) per $1,000 principal face amount at a price determined by the “Modified Dutch Auction” procedures described below. The Purchaser may increase the Maximum Offer Amount at any time, and from time to time, prior to the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent has initially determined the Clearing Price (as defined below). If the Purchaser so elects, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Purchaser, shall redetermine the Clearing Price based on such increased Maximum Offer Amount.

Under the “Modified Dutch Auction” procedures we are using, the Administrative Agent (defined below) in consultation with us will select the lowest purchase price (the “Clearing Price”) that will allow us to purchase the Maximum Offer Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans for which we have received the aggregate Sale Offers), at prices not greater than the Maximum Purchase Price nor less than the Minimum Purchase Price per $1,000 principal face amount. First, to the extent the Purchaser elects to purchase Term Loans, all principal amount of validly tendered Term Loans for which Sale Offers are received at a price lower than the Clearing Price will be purchased at the purchase price specified by such participating Lender, and such tendered principal amounts will not be subject to pro ration, and thereafter, all principal amount of Term Loans tendered at the Clearing Price will be acquired at such Clearing Price, subject to pro ration procedures set forth below. We will not purchase any principal amount of Term Loans validly tendered at a price above the Clearing Price. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans for which validly executed Sale Offers and Assignment and Assumption Agreements are received (prior to the Expiration Time) exceeds the Maximum Offer Amount and the Purchaser elects to purchase Term Loans pursuant to the Purchase Offer, the Purchaser will purchase all principal amount of Term Loans tendered by the Lenders below the Clearing Price first, and then to the extent of the remaining amounts under the Maximum Offer Amount, the Purchaser will purchase all principal amount of Term Loans tendered by the Lenders at the Clearing Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts of such tendered Term Loans.

Note that not all principal amount of Term Loans accepted for purchase in the Purchase Offer will be purchased at the Clearing Price. If a participating Lender specifies an offer price for principal amount of a Term Loan that is less than the Clearing Price, such Lender will first receive for such principal amount the purchase price specified by such participating Lender and such tendered principal amount will not be subject to proration. Only principal amount of Term Loans tendered at the Clearing Price will be subject to proration.

We intend to disseminate announcements in respect of any amendment, cancellation or termination of the Purchase Offer or extension of the Expiration Time or any other relevant matter to you through Wachovia Bank, National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) under the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2007 (as amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Purchaser, certain subsidiaries of the Purchaser, the Lenders party thereto (“Lenders”), Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, as Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as Joint Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunner and as Syndication Agent, and Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia Bank”), as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as Issuing Bank.

OUTLINE OF AUCTION MECHANICS

The Offer Documents contain important information that should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the Purchase Offer. None of the Purchaser, its Boards of Directors, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective affiliates makes any recommendation as to whether Lenders should participate in the Purchase Offer. Lenders must make their own decisions as to whether to participate in the Purchase Offer.6 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Outline of Auction Mechanics have the meanings assigned to them in the Notice of an Offer to Purchase.

     
The Purchaser
  Amerigroup Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Purchaser”).
 
   
Term Loans
  All Term Loans (as defined in the Credit
Agreement defined below) outstanding under
the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as
of March 26, 2007 (as amended, amended and
restated, modified or supplemented from time
to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the
Purchaser, certain subsidiaries of the
Purchaser, the Lenders party thereto
(“Lenders”), Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC,
as Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner,
Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as Joint
Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunner and as
Syndication Agent, and Wachovia Bank,
National Association (“Wachovia Bank”), as
Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”) and as Issuing Bank.
 
   
The Purchase Offer
  The Purchaser is offering to purchase for
cash, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth below and in the Offer
Documents, any and all of Term Loans from
Lenders (as set forth herein, the “Purchase
Offer”
).
The Purchase Offer is not conditioned on any
minimum aggregate principal amount of Term
Loans being offered by Lenders for sale
(other than the Minimum Assignment Amount (as
defined herein)). If the Purchaser elects to
purchase Term Loans pursuant to the Purchase
Offer and less than the aggregate principal
amount of Term Loans that the Purchaser is
seeking to purchase are offered for sale by
Participating Lenders (defined below), all
principal amount of Term Loans validly
tendered at or below the Clearing Price will
be accepted and the applicable price up to
the Clearing Price will be paid to such
tendering Lenders.
In the event that the aggregate principal
amount of Term Loans for which validly
tendered Sale Offers exceed the Maximum Offer
Amount and the Purchaser elects to purchase
Term Loans pursuant to the Purchase Offer,
the Purchaser will purchase all principal
amount of Term Loans tendered by the Lenders
below the Clearing Price first, and then to
the extent of the remaining amounts under the
Maximum Offer Amount, the Purchaser will
purchase all principal amount of Term Loans
tendered by the Lenders at the Clearing Price
ratably based on the respective principal
amounts of such tendered Term Loans. The
Administrative Agent (in consultation with
the Purchaser) will determine the final pro
ration factor as soon as practicable after
the Expiration Time and will announce such
pro ration factor to the Lenders that have
submitted a Sale Offer (collectively, the
“Participating Lenders”) via Syndtrak; such
determination of the final pro ration factor
will be final and binding on the
Participating Lenders.
 
   
Maximum Offer Amount
  The Maximum Offer Amount is $[     ].
The Purchaser may increase the Maximum Offer
Amount at any time, and from time to time,
prior to the fifth Business Day after the
Administrative Agent has initially determined
the Clearing Price (as defined below). If
the Purchaser so elects, the Administrative
Agent, in consultation with the Purchaser,
shall redetermine the Clearing Price based on
such increased Maximum Offer Amount.
 
   
Purchase Price
  The Purchaser is conducting the Purchase
Offer through a procedure commonly called a
“Modified Dutch Auction”. This procedure
allows the tendering Lender to select the
price, within an applicable price range
specified by the Purchaser, at which such
Lender is willing to sell the principal
amount of its Term Loans.
The Purchaser is offering to purchase Term
Loans for cash at a price not greater than
$[     ] nor less than $[     ] per $1,000
principal face amount. The Purchaser will
select the lowest purchase price, which is
referred to herein as the Clearing Price,
that will allow the Purchaser to purchase the
Maximum Offer Amount (or such lesser amount
of Term Loans for which the Purchaser
received the aggregate Sale Offers). To the
extent the Purchase Offer is not cancelled,
withdrawn or terminated by the Purchaser,
first, all principal amount of Term Loans for
which Sale Offers are validly received at a
price lower than the Clearing Price will be
purchased at the purchase price specified by
such participating Lender, and such tendered
principal amount will not be subject to pro
ration, and thereafter, all principal amount
of Term Loans tendered at the Clearing Price
will be acquired at such Clearing Price,
subject to pro ration procedures set forth
above. We will not purchase any principal
amount of Term Loans tendered at a price
above the Clearing Price.
In the event no Lenders have validly tendered
any Term Loans following the Purchase Offer
or as otherwise agreed to by the
Administrative Agent, the Purchaser reserves
the right at any time prior to the Expiration
Time (as may be extended by the Purchaser by
three business days) to amend the Purchase
Offer to increase the Maximum Offer Amount or
the Maximum Purchase Price for all Lenders.
 
   
 
  In order to select the purchase price at
which a Lender wishes to sell its Term Loans,
each Lender must indicate in its (i) offer in
the form of Annex A (“Sale Offer”) and (ii)
Section 7 of the Assignment Agreement (form
of such agreement attached hereto as Annex
B), in each case the price within the
specified range (in multiples of $5 per
$1,000 principal amount) at which such Lender
wishes to offer the principal face amount of
its Term Loans for sale to the Purchaser (the
“Offer Price”). A Lender may not submit more
than one Sale Offer, and may not specify more
than one Offer Price in its Sale Offer.
 
   
Setting the Purchase Price
  In the event any changes are required to the
executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement,
the Administrative Agent shall notify the
applicable Participating Lender of such
required changes and shall request an
acknowledgment by such Participating Lender,
which acknowledgement shall be provided by
such Participating Lender no later than two
days of receipt thereof.
Each Sale Offer shall be in an aggregate
amount of not less than $500,000, or such
lesser amount (x) as may be agreed to by the
Purchaser and the Administrative Agent, (y)
as shall constitute the aggregate amount of
the Term Loans of the Participating Lender or
(z) as shall constitute the aggregate pro
rata share of the Term Loans of the
Participating Lender in the event of pro
ration as contemplated herein (the “Minimum
Assignment Amount”
).
 
   
Expiration Time
  [TIME], New York City time on [DATE]
 
   
Effective Date
  The effective date for the Purchase Offer
shall be the date recorded by the
Administrative Agent in the Register (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) in
accordance with Section 10.6(i)(iii) (the
“Borrower Assignment Effective Date”). From
and after such Borrower Assignment Effective
Date, no interest shall accrue and any Term
Loans purchased by the Purchaser shall be
deemed cancelled for all purposes and no
longer outstanding.
 
   
Purpose of the Purchase Offer
  The purpose of the Purchase Offer is to
improve the consolidated financial position
of the Purchaser by acquiring and cancelling
a portion of the outstanding principal amount
of Term Loans at a discount to face amount.
The Purchaser believes such an improved
financial position will benefit those Lenders
that retain ownership of Loans and/or
Commitments (as each term is defined in the
Credit Agreement) after the consummation of
the Purchase Offer. Furthermore, the
Purchaser believes that the Purchase Offer
provides an opportunity to owners of Term
Loans to gain liquidity with respect to such
Term Loans that such Lenders may not
otherwise have. The Purchaser believes that
purchasing such Term Loans pursuant to the
Offer Documents is an effective use of our
cash resources at this time.
 
   
Conditions to the Purchase
Offer
  Delivery, to the Administrative Agent prior
to the Expiration Time, of a validly executed
(i) Assignment and Assumption Agreement and
(ii) Sale Offer; provided that the Purchaser
shall not be required to accept for payment,
purchase or pay for any principal amount of
Term Loans that are the subject of validly
executed and delivered Assignment and
Assumption Agreements and Sale Offers, and
may terminate any or all of the Purchase
Offer and treat all executed and delivered
Assignment and Assumption Agreements as null
and void and without any legal effect.
 
   
Withdrawal Rights
  The Lenders shall have withdrawal rights
pursuant to the Offer Documents. Any Sale
Offer or Assignment and Assumption Agreement
delivered to the Administrative Agent may be
modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled by
a Lender prior to the Expiration Time.
 
   
Unpurchased Term Loans
  All principal amount of Term Loans not
purchased pursuant to the Offer Documents
will remain outstanding.
 
   
Source of Funds
  [The Purchaser intends to finance the
Purchase Offer with available cash on hand.]
 
   
Acceptance and Payment of
Term Loans
  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Offer Documents, the
Purchaser will purchase, by accepting for
payment, an aggregate principal amount of
Term Loans up to the Maximum Offer Amount
that are the subject of validly executed and
delivered (x) Assignment and Assumption
Agreements and (y) Sale Offer.
Administrative Agent will disseminate to the
Participating Lenders announcements in
connection with the Purchaser’s acceptance
for payment of Term Loans, notice of the
Clearing Price and any other relevant notices
or information through Syndtrak.
The Purchaser will make payment of the
purchase price for Term Loans accepted for
payment pursuant to the Offer Documents by
transmitting directly to the Participating
Lenders such payments in same-day funds on
the Borrower Assignment Effective Date. Any
Term Loans so purchased shall be deemed
cancelled for all purposes and no longer
outstanding.
 
   
Miscellaneous
  All questions as to the form of documents and
validity and eligibility (including time of
receipt) of Term Loans that are the subject
of a Sale Offer will be determined by the
Purchaser and the Administrative Agent and
their determination will be final and
binding. The Purchaser’s and Administrative
Agent’s interpretation of the terms and
conditions of the Purchase Offer will be
final and binding.
