</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (&#147;DGCL&#148;) as amended allows a corporation
to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director of a corporation to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the
director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional
misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock
repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that the Registrant may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of AMERIGROUP) by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, agent or employee of AMERIGROUP
or is or was serving at the Registrant&#146;s request as a director, officer, agent, or employee of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses,
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The power to
indemnify applies (a)&nbsp;if such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding, or (b)&nbsp;if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which the
person reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of
AMERIGROUP, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe such conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the
right of AMERIGROUP as well but only to the extent of defense expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees
but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred and not to any
satisfaction of judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in
such actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duties to AMERIGROUP, unless the court believes that in light
of all the circumstances indemnification should apply.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or
negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or
redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful
actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent
to such actions to be entered in the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the board of
directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives
notice of the unlawful acts.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by Delaware law, Article&nbsp;Sixth of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit&nbsp;3.1 to the Registration Statement
on Form S-3, as amended (File No.&nbsp;333-108831), includes
a provision that eliminates, to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law, the personal
liability of the Registrant&#146;s directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. This provision in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not
eliminate the directors&#146; fiduciary duty, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such
as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In
addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director&#146;s duty
of loyalty to the Registrant for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the
director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are
unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director&#146;s responsibilities under
any other law, such as the Federal securities laws or state or Federal environmental laws.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by Delaware law, Article&nbsp;Seventh of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation provides that (1)&nbsp;the Registrant is required to indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law, subject to certain
very limited exceptions; (2)&nbsp;the Registrant is permitted, to the extent authorized by its board of

otherwise. In addition, the Registrant maintains insurance on behalf of its directors and executive
officers insuring them against any liability asserted against them in their capacities as directors
or officers or arising out of such status.

is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being

Item 4. Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
The validity of the issuance of the shares of common stock to be registered in connection with
this registration statement will be passed upon by Nicholas J. Pace, Executive Vice President,
General Counsel and Secretary of AMERIGROUP Corporation
("AMERIGROUP" or "the Registrant"). Mr. Pace
directly or indirectly owns 35,346
shares of common stock of the Registrant and has options to acquire
an aggregate of 24,358 shares of common stock of the Registrant.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") as amended allows a corporation
to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director of a corporation to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the
director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional
misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock
repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that the Registrant may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of AMERIGROUP) by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, agent or employee of AMERIGROUP
or is or was serving at the Registrant's request as a director, officer, agent, or employee of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses,
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The power to
indemnify applies (a) if such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding, or (b) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which the
person reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of
AMERIGROUP, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe such conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the
right of AMERIGROUP as well but only to the extent of defense expenses (including attorneys' fees
but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred and not to any
satisfaction of judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in
such actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duties to AMERIGROUP, unless the court believes that in light
of all the circumstances indemnification should apply.
Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or
negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or
redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful
actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent
to such actions to be entered in the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the board of
directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives
notice of the unlawful acts.
As permitted by Delaware law, Article Sixth of the Registrant's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Registration Statement
on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-108831), includes
a provision that eliminates, to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law, the personal
liability of the Registrant's directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. This provision in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not
eliminate the directors' fiduciary duty, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such
as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In
addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to the Registrant for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the
director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are
unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under
any other law, such as the Federal securities laws or state or Federal environmental laws.
As permitted by Delaware law, Article Seventh of the Registrant's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation provides that (1) the Registrant is required to indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law, subject to certain
very limited exceptions; (2) the Registrant is permitted, to the extent authorized by its board of
directors, to provide rights to indemnification to its employees and agents similar to those
conferred to its directors and officers; (3) the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as
incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a
II-2
Table of Contents
legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, subject to certain very
limited exceptions; and (4) the rights conferred in the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation are not exclusive.
As permitted by Delaware law, the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws, a copy of which
is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 14, 2008, provides that (1) the Registrant is required to
indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, subject to
certain very limited exceptions; (2) the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred,
to its directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted
by Delaware law, subject to certain very limited exceptions; and (3) the rights to indemnification
conferred in the Amended and Restated By-Laws are not exclusive.
As permitted by Delaware law, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with
all of its directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the
Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws,
and intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers
in the future.
The indemnification provisions contained in the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws are not exclusive of any other rights to which a
person may be entitled by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise. In addition, the Registrant maintains insurance on behalf of its directors and executive
officers insuring them against any liability asserted against them in their capacities as directors
or officers or arising out of such status.

Item 9. Required 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum
II-3
Table of Contents
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(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 such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the 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.
(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
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.
