<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 require 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. The Registrant also maintains director and officer
liability insurance that insures directors and officers of the Registrant against certain

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) (&#167;230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective Registration Statement; and
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 the Registrant pursuant to

be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to
this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities
to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will

prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the
undersigned Registrant;

made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;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&#146;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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;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.

the Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange

1.
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010,
filed March 8, 2011.
2.
The Registrant's Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A related to the Registrant's Annual

The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31,
2011, filed May 9, 2011.
4.
The Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed January 5, 2011, February 18,
2011, February 23, 2011, April 27, 2011, and May 2, 2011 (each except with respect to
those items furnished but not filed).
5.
That portion of the Registrant's Current Report on Form
8-K, filed June 10, 2011, reporting that on June 9, 2011, the
Registrant's fiscal intermediary subsidiary, Molina Medicaid

Office of State Purchasing, stating that the state of Louisiana
intends to award the contract for a replacement Medicaid Management
Information System to the firm of Client Network Services Inc. and
not to Molina Medicaid Solutions.
6.
The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in its Form S-1
Registration Statement, filed December 30, 2002, under file number 333-102268, as amended,
including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such information.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or
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,
shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents, except for the documents, or portions thereof,
that are "furnished" rather than filed with the Commission. Any statement contained herein or in a
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained
herein or in 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.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Mr. Jeffrey D. Barlow, Esq., who is giving an opinion on the validity of the securities being
registered, is Senior Vice President — General Counsel and Secretary for the Registrant and holds
Common Stock of the Registrant and equity compensation awards with respect to Common Stock of the
Registrant. He is eligible to participate in the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2011 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors,
officers, employees, and agents to
2
the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware
law.
In addition, the Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with its
directors, officers, and certain employees which require 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. 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; 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
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20% 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 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 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
(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.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities
Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant
undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to
this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities
to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will
be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
under the Securities Act;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the
undersigned Registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus
relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or
its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering
made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
(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.
