We have been appointed by CVS/Caremark Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to act as Dealer Managers in connection with the Company’s offer to purchase up to 150,000,000 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value (such shares, together with all other outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, are herein referred to as the “Shares”), at a price of $35.00 per Share, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s Offer to Purchase dated March 28, 2007 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Offer”).

The Company will pay $35.00 per share for the Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer taking into account the number of Shares so tendered. The Company will purchase such Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, including the provisions relating to “odd lot” tenders, proration and conditional tender described in the Offer to Purchase.

Shares not purchased because of proration or conditional tenders will be returned at the Company’s expense to the stockholders who tendered such Shares promptly after the Expiration Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). The Company also expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to purchase additional Shares subject to applicable legal requirements. See Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase.

2. Letter of Transmittal for your use and for the information of your clients;

4. A form of letter that you may send to your clients for whose accounts you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, with space provided for obtaining such clients’ instructions with regard to the Offer.

CERTAIN CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER ARE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 7 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE.

WE URGE YOU TO CONTACT YOUR CLIENTS AS PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE. THE OFFER, THE PRORATION PERIOD AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON APRIL 24, 2007, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED.
