interest to the date of repurchase. See "Description of the Notes--Repurchase

Upon a Change of Control."

Ranking
The Notes will be our senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will
rank equally with all of our other existing and future unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness, and will be structurally subordinated to certain
indebtedness assumed in connection with our acquisition of Coventry. See
"Description of the Notes."

Additional Issuances
In the future we may, without the consent of the holders of the Notes of a series,
increase the aggregate principal amount of Notes of such series offered on the
same terms and conditions (except that the public offering price, issue date and
first interest payment date may vary), but we may do so only if such additional
Notes are fungible for tax purposes with the originally issued Notes.

Use of Proceeds
We intend to use the entire estimated $742 million in net proceeds after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses from this offering, together with other available resources, to redeem
all of our outstanding 6.000% Senior Notes due 2016 (the "2016 Notes"). See

Covenants
The indenture for the Notes limits our ability to consolidate with or merge with

entirety to any person. This covenant is subject to important qualifications and
limitations. See "Description of Debt Securities--Consolidation, Merger and
Sale of Assets" in the accompanying prospectus.

The indenture for the Notes does not restrict our ability to incur additional
indebtedness. Under the terms of the Notes, the holders of the Notes will not

have the benefit of the covenant in the indenture for the Notes described under
"Description of Debt Securities--Limitations on Liens on Common Stock of
Principal Subsidiaries" in the accompanying prospectus.

No Cross-Acceleration Event of Default
Under the terms of the Notes, the holders of the Notes will not have the benefit
of the cross-acceleration event of default in the indenture for the Notes
described in the fourth bullet under "Description of Debt Securities--Events of
Default and Notice Thereof" in the accompanying prospectus.

Minimum Denominations
The Notes will be issued and may be transferred only in minimum
denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

forecasted future issuance of fixed-rate debt to refinance the 2016 Notes.
