ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") as amended
allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors 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 we 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 the AMERIGROUP or is or was
serving at our request as a director, officer, agent, or employee of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgment, 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 he
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 his conduct was unlawful. The power to
indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the 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
                                      II-1
<PAGE>   3

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.

     Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision
that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

     - for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to AMERIGROUP or its
       stockholders;

     - for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
       misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

     - under section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regarding
       unlawful dividends and stock purchases; or

     - for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
       benefit.

     These provisions are permitted under Delaware law.

     Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that:

     - we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent
       permitted by Delaware law;

     - we may indemnify our other employees and agents to the same extent that
       we indemnified our officers and directors, unless otherwise determined by
       our Board of Directors; and

     - we must advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and executive
       officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent
       permitted by Delaware law.

     The indemnification provisions contained in our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restate 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, we maintain
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 15.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

     In the past three years, AMERIGROUP Corporation has issued and sold the
following securities:

     - 2,000,000 shares of Series E Redeemable Preferred Stock and warrants to
       purchase 2,250,000 shares of common stock to institutional investors in
       two tranches, the first of which was in July 1998 and the second of which

       1997; options to purchase 542,000 shares of common stock issued to

       issued to employees in 1999.

                                      II-2
<PAGE>   4

     The issuances described above in this Item 15 were deemed exempt from
registration under the Securities Act in reliance on either: (1) Rule 701
promulgated under the Securities Act as offers and sales of securities pursuant
to certain compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in
compliance with Rule 701; or (2) Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, including
Regulation D thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public
offering.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

     The undersigned registrants hereby undertake to provide to the underwriters
at the closing certificates in such denominations and registered in such names
as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
registrants pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14, or otherwise, the
registrants have been informed 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 by the registrants 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 registrants 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 undersigned registrants hereby undertake that:

          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
     of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
     of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
     a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or
     (4) or 497 (h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
     prospectus shall be deemed to be a new

                                      II-4

     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.

behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York,
