WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee executed and delivered an Indenture, dated as of June 27, 2016 (the “Indenture”) providing for the issuance of 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Company, together with WellCare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WellCare”), Wind Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 17, 2016, pursuant to which as of the date hereof Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”) and certain other transactions will be effected, pursuant to which the Company will survive as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WellCare;

WHEREAS, the Merger is a “Merger Event” under Section 14.07 of the Indenture;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 14.07(a) of the Indenture, if the Company is party to a Merger Event, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01(g) of the Indenture providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into the Reference Property;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 10.01(g) of the Indenture, the Company may amend the Indenture without the consent of any Holders in connection with any Merger Event, to provide that the Notes are convertible into Reference Property, subject to the provisions of Section 14.02, and make such related changes to the terms of the Notes to the extent expressly required by Section 14.07; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 14.07(a) of the Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture shall provide that if the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such Merger Event the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be

increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.03), multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Merger Event; and

WHEREAS, the entry into this First Supplemental Indenture by the parties hereto is in all respects authorized by the provisions of the Indenture, and all things necessary to make this First Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company in accordance with its terms have been done.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree as follows:

2.

Conversion Right.  In accordance with Section 14.07 and subject to Section 14.03 of the Indenture, at and after the effective time of the Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the Reference Property with respect to the Merger Event, which shall be cash equal to $1,058.89 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, and the provisions of the Indenture, as modified herein, shall continue to apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Holders’ right to convert the Notes into the Reference Property pursuant to the terms of the Indenture; provided that, in the event that a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 14.03 of the Indenture, the Company shall, under the circumstances and according to the terms described in Section 14.03 of the Indenture, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by the Additional Shares.
