 Summary of Board of Director Compensation 
  
 On February 7, 2005, the board of directors (the “board”) of Centene Corporation (the “Corporation”)
adopted a compensation arrangement for directors who are not employees of the Corporation (the “Outside Directors”), effective as of the date of the Corporation’s 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The compensation arrangement
provides for the following: 
  
 (i) a quarterly retainer fee of
$18,750 for each Outside Director, all of which amount shall be eligible, at the election of such Outside Director, for payment pursuant to the Corporation’s Non-Employee Directors Deferred Stock Compensation Plan; 
  
 (ii) an additional quarterly retainer fee of $2,500 for the Chairman of the
Audit Committee of the board, all of which amount shall be eligible, at the election of such Outside Director, for payment pursuant to the Corporation’s Non-Employee Directors Deferred Stock Compensation Plan; 
  
 (iii) an additional quarterly retainer fee of $1,250 for the Chairman of the
Compensation Committee or Nominating and Governance Committee (or any successor committee to either of such committees) of the board, all of which amount shall be eligible, at the election of such Outside Director, for payment pursuant to the
Corporation’s Non-Employee Directors Deferred Stock Compensation Plan; and 
  
 (iv) a grant of restricted shares of common stock to each Outside Director, which (a) shall be granted as of the date of each of the Corporation’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, beginning in 2005, (b) shall be
granted in a number equal to $75,000 divided by the last reported sale price of the common stock of the Corporation on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date, rounded to the nearest whole number, and (c)
shall vest in full as of the immediately succeeding Annual Meeting of Stockholders, provided that, with respect to such grant as of any such Annual Meeting, the Compensation Committee of the board may determine that the Corporation shall, in
lieu of granting such restricted shares as of any such Annual Meeting of Stockholders, grant common stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights or other equity-based incentives payable in common stock having a deemed value (as
determined by such Committee) of $75,000. 
  
 In addition, the
board adopted a policy, effective immediately, under which the Corporation shall grant each Outside Director who is first elected to the board, as of the date on which such Outside Director is first elected to the board and without the need for any
further action by the board or any committee thereof, a non-qualified stock option under the Corporation’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock of the Corporation, which option (i) shall have an exercise price
equal to the last reported sale price of the common stock of the Corporation on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date and (ii) shall vest in three installments, with 3,334 shares vesting on the first
anniversary of the grant date and an additional 3,333 shares vesting on each of the second and third anniversaries of the grant date.Consent to Payment of Advisory Fee

 ARTICLE IV 
  
 BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE PLAN 
  
 4.1 Bonus Awards. Bonus Awards shall be granted to each Participant
under this Plan and the amount of each bonus Award shall be calculated as of the Closing Date according to the calculation method described herein. 
  
 4.2 Calculation of Bonus Awards. A Participant’s Bonus Award shall be calculated as follows: 
  
 (a) A Participant’s Group 1 Bonus shall be equal to the
product of (i) the Group 1 Bonus Pool and (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock allocated to such Participant’s account under the Qualified Plan as of the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is
the total number of shares of Common Stock allocated to all Participants’ accounts under the Qualified Plan as of the Closing Date. 
  

 4 

 (b) If a Participant is a Group 2 Participant, such Participant’s Bonus Award shall
include an additional Group 2 Bonus, which shall be equal to the difference between the Group 2 Bonus Amount and such Participant’s Group 1 Bonus; provided, however, that if as of the Closing Date, the Participant has been employed by the
Company or any of its affiliates for a period equal to or less than one year, the Participant’s Group 2 Bonus shall be further multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of actual days in such one-year period during which the
Participant was effectively employed by the Company or any of its affiliates, and the denominator of which is 365. 
  
 4.3 Benefit Distribution. Each Participant’s right to receive a distribution of all or any portion of any Bonus Award earned under this
Article V shall be determined in accordance with Article VI. 
  
 4.4 Effect of Certain Changes. In the event of (a) a change in the Company’s accounting principles or methods, (b) a merger, consolidation or acquisition or disposition of material assets of the Company outside of the ordinary
course of business, or (c) the occurrence of any other event such that (in the opinion of the Board) the method adopted hereunder for purposes of calculating Bonus Awards under this Plan no longer provides Participants with such incentives as are
contemplated by the Company, appropriate adjustments may be adopted in a manner reasonably determined by the Board to make newly granted Bonus Awards fairly comparable to the Bonus Awards granted prior to the event described in this paragraph.

  
 ARTICLE V 
  
 VESTING AND DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN BENEFITS 
  
 5.1 Vesting. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a
Participant’s Bonus Award under the Plan shall only become vested and nonforfeitable on the Closing Date. In the event a Participant incurs a Termination of Employment for any reason whatsoever at any time before the Closing Date, such
Participant’s Bonus Award shall be forfeited immediately in its entirety, and no payment shall be made to such Participant hereunder. 
  
 5.2 Distribution. Unless the Board decides otherwise in the Board’s sole discretion, distribution of a Participant’s Bonus Award shall be
made as soon as administratively feasible after the consummation of the IPO. 
  
 5.3 Designation of Representative. The Participant may designate a Representative to receive any payments in respect of his or her Bonus Award in the event the Participant dies before receiving the full Bonus
Award to which he or she was otherwise entitled. The Representative entitled to any such payments shall be designated by the Participant on a form provided or approved by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Chief Executive
Officer”) for that purpose. The Participant may change such designation of Representative from time to 

  

 5 

 
time by filing a new representative designation form with the Chief Executive Officer. No designation of Representative or change of Representative shall be
effective until filed with the Chief Executive Officer. If more than one Representative shall be designated, the Representatives shall share any distribution on an equal basis unless otherwise indicated by the Participant. If a Representative
commences to receive payments under this Section but dies before distribution of the entire amount of the Bonus Award to which such Representative is entitled has been completed, the value of the remaining payments shall be made to the
Representative’s estate. 
  
 5.4 Facility of Payment.
If the Participant is declared an incompetent and a conservator, guardian or other person legally charged with the Participant’s care has been appointed, any Bonus Award to which the Participant is entitled under this Plan shall be payable to
such conservator, guardian or other person legally charged with the Participant’s care. The decision of the Board in such matters shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company, the Participant, and every other person or party
interested or concerned. Neither the Company nor the Board shall be under any duty to see to the proper application of such payments. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 6.1 Amendments and Termination. 
  
 (a) The Board may terminate or amend the Plan at any time in its sole discretion, but no termination or amendment shall be made which
would impair the rights of a Participant with respect to such Participant’s Bonus Award determined through the date of termination or amendment. 
  
 (b) This Plan, and the Company’s obligations hereunder, shall terminate if the Merger Agreement is terminated or expires and the
merger and financial restructuring has not been consummated as contemplated thereby. 
  
 (c) This Plan shall terminate upon any of the following events: legal adjudication of the Company as bankrupt, general assignment by the
Company to or for the benefit of its creditors, or dissolution of the Company (unless such dissolution is involuntary and the Company is reinstated as permitted by law) other than by form of or as a result of a reorganization where the business of
the Company is continued. 
  
 6.2 Unfunded Status of Plan.
It is intended that the Plan be an “unfunded” plan for incentive in the form of cash bonuses payable to Plan Participants, unless the Board decides otherwise in the Board’s sole discretion. 
  
 6.3 Deduction of Taxes from Amounts Payable. The Company may withhold
whatever taxes (including FICA, state or federal taxes) as the Company is legally required or permitted to withhold to protect the Company against liability for the payment of such 

  

 6 

 
withholding taxes, and out of the money so deducted, the Company may discharge any such liability. Withholding for this purpose may come from any wages due
to the Participant or, if none, from payment of the Bonus Award hereunder. 
  
 6.4 Controlling Law. The Plan and the Bonus Awards granted and actions taken in connection therewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (other than its laws
respecting choice of law). 
  
 6.5 Offset. Any amounts owed
to the Company by the Participant (of whatever nature) may be offset by the Company against any Bonus Award payable under this Plan, and no Bonus Award payable under this Plan shall be distributed unless and until all disputes between the Company
and the Participant have been fully and finally resolved and the Participant has waived all claims to such against the Company. 
  
 6.6 Other Benefits. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its
employees. Subject to the foregoing, any amounts payable or rights or benefits furnished the Participant under any other plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement with the Company at or subsequent to the Participant’s Termination
of Employment shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement and without regard to this Plan. Subject to the foregoing, amounts payable or in respect of this Plan shall not be taken into
account with respect to any other employee benefit plan or arrangement of the Company. 
  
 6.7 Rights with Respect to Continuance of Employment. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to alter any contractual relationship between the Participant and the Company. Nothing contained herein shall be
construed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company and the Participant. The Company and the Participant shall continue to have the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason, subject, however, to the
terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any. The Company shall not have an obligation to retain the Participant in its employ as a result of this Plan. 
  
 6.8 No Company Obligation. Neither the Company nor the Board shall have any duty or obligation to affirmatively
disclose to the Participant, and such Participant shall have no right to be advised of, any material information regarding the Company at any time prior to, upon or in connection with the granting, vesting, distribution or termination of any Bonus
Award described in this Plan. 
  
 6.9 Headings. The
headings contained in this Plan are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Plan. 
  
 6.10 Severability. If any provision of this Plan shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision, and this Plan shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. 
  
 6.11 Successors and Assigns. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor and assign of the Company. All obligations
imposed upon a Participant, and all rights granted to the Company under this Plan shall be binding upon the Participant’s heirs, legal representatives and successors. 
  

 7 

 6.12 No Liability. The Company shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever in connection with
this Plan, except for the Bonus Awards expressly provided for under this Plan. In no event shall the Company be liable for indirect, special or consequential damages. 
  
 6.13 Indemnification. The officers, directors and employees of the Company shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Company against and from any and all loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by them in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which they may be a party or in which
they may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under this Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by them in settlement (with the Company’s written approval) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any
such action, suit, or proceeding. The foregoing provision shall not be applicable to any person if the loss, cost, liability, or expense is due to such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 6.14 Non-transferability of Bonus Awards. Except as provided herein,
the Bonus Awards payable hereunder, and any interest therein, shall not be transferable by the Participant, and the Participant shall not be permitted to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber his or her rights to
Bonus Awards. Any attempted anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge or encumbrance shall be null and void ab initio. No interest or right to any Bonus Award may be taken for the satisfaction of debts of, or other obligations
or claims against the Participant. 
  
 6.15 Waiver; Cumulative
Rights. The failure or delay of a party to require performance by the other party of any provision of this Plan shall not affect such party’s right to require performance unless and until such performance has been expressly waived in
writing. 
  
 6.16 Entire Agreement. This Plan constitutes
the entire agreement of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any prior expressions of intent or understanding with respect to this Plan. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Plan has been duly executed and delivered by the
duly authorized officer of the Company hereto on January 28, 2005.
