<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with its
directors, officers, and certain employees which requires the registrant, among other things, to
indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status as directors,
officers, or other employees, as applicable. In addition, the Registrant&#146;s obligations under the
indemnification agreements with certain of its independent directors are guaranteed up to a maximum
of $22.5&nbsp;million by the Mary R. Molina Living Trust, the beneficial owner of approximately 12.8% of

permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange 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.

In addition, pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), this registration statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")
shall also cover any additional shares of the Registrant's common stock that become issuable
under the plans by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other
similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase
in the number of outstanding shares of the Registrant's common stock.
(2)
Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to
Rule 457(h) of the Securities Act. The price per share and aggregate offering price are
calculated on the basis of the average of the high and low sale prices of the Registrant's
common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on August 25, 2008 in accordance with Rule 457(c) of
the Securities Act.
This Registration Statement relates to additional shares of the Registrant's common stock issuable
upon the exercise of options or the purchase of shares under the Registrant's 2002 Equity Incentive
Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") and upon the purchase of shares issuable under the Registrant's
2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") as a result of the annual share increases, effective
as of January 1, 2007 and 2008, provided for under the Equity Incentive Plan and the ESPP. The
shares issuable under such plans prior to such two annual share increases were previously
registered by the Registrant pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-108317)
filed on August 28, 2003, and pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No.
333-138552) filed on November 9, 2006.

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and
15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that
all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold,

any subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference modifies
or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's

officers, employees, and agents to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware
law.

Table of Contents
In addition, the Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with its
directors, officers, and certain employees which requires the registrant, among other things, to
indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status as directors,
officers, or other employees, as applicable. In addition, the Registrant's obligations under the
indemnification agreements with certain of its independent directors are guaranteed up to a maximum
of $22.5 million by the Mary R. Molina Living Trust, the beneficial owner of approximately 12.8% of
the Registrant's common stock as of March 31, 2008. The Registrant also maintains director and
officer liability insurance that insures directors and officers of the Registrant against certain
liabilities.
These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements entered into between the
Registrant and its officers, directors, and certain employees may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the Registrant's officers, directors, and such employees for liabilities
(including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
Reference is made to the Index to Exhibits.
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 the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to the information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
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.

Table of Contents
(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 Section 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 the 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange 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.
