(“JPMCB”), in its capacity as Agent under the Credit Agreement referred to below.

A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of March 27, 2012 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have extended and agreed to extend credit to the Borrower on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

B. Pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower has requested that the total Commitments be increased by $500,000,000.

C. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each party hereto whose name is set forth on Schedule I hereto (each an “Augmenting Lender”) has agreed to extend a Commitment or increase its existing Commitment, as the case may be, under the Credit Agreement in the amount set forth opposite its name on such Schedule (such commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”).

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Incremental Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, on the Commitment Increase Effective Date (as defined below), the Incremental Commitment of each Augmenting Lender shall become effective. The Incremental Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date applicable to the Commitments in effect under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Commitment Increase Effective Date (the “Existing Commitments”) and shall have terms (including in respect of fees and interest rates) identical those of the Existing Commitments.

(b) From and after the Commitment Increase Effective Date, for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, (i) the Incremental Commitments shall constitute “Commitments” under the Credit Agreement of the same class as the Existing Commitments, (ii) Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Commitments contemplated hereby shall constitute “Loans” under the Credit Agreement of same class as the Loans made pursuant to the Existing Commitments and (iii) each Augmenting Lender shall be (or in the case of any Augmenting Lender with an Existing Commitment, continue to be) a “Lender” under the Credit Agreement, and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender holding a Commitment under the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall, as to each Augmenting Lender that is not already a Lender under the Credit Agreement,

constitute the accession agreement referred to in clause (iii) of the first sentence of Section 2.10(a) of the Credit Agreement and the notice referred to in the first and second sentences of such Section 2.10(a).

(c) On the Commitment Increase Effective Date, Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement will be replaced with Schedule 2.01 attached hereto.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Agreement, the Borrower represents and warrants to each of the Lenders (including the Augmenting Lenders) and the Agent that:

(a) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; and

(b) on the Commitment Increase Effective Date, and after giving effect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to occur on such date, (i) the representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement will be true and correct in all material respects as though made on and as of the Commitment Increase Effective Date, other than representations and warranties which are given as of a particular date, which representations and warranties will be true and correct as of that date; provided that the representation in Section 4.09 of the Credit Agreement insofar as it relates to information relating to Coventry Health Care, Inc. and its subsidiaries (and its and their respective businesses) is made to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c) the Agent shall have received such documents and certificates as the Agent may reasonably request relating to the existence of the Borrower, the corporate

authority for and validity of this Agreement, and any other matters relevant hereto, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;

(d) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (d) of Section 3.02 of the Credit Agreement (without giving effect to the parenthetical in Section 3.02(d)) shall be satisfied on and as of the Commitment Increase Effective Date (as though a Borrowing were being made on such date), and the Agent shall have received a certificate, dated the Commitment Increase Effective Date and signed by a Responsible Financial Officer of the Borrower, confirming compliance with such conditions;

(e) no Loans shall be outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the Commitment Increase Effective Date;
