Committees of the Board of Directors (a) The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board of Directors, may designate from among its members one or more committees (in addition to those listed below), each of which shall be comprised of one or more of its members, and may designate one or more of its members as alternate members of any committee, who may, subject to any limitations by the Board of Directors, replace absent or disqualified members at any meeting of that committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in such resolution or in the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the Board of Directors to the extent permitted by the NRS, including, without limitation, the power and authority to declare a dividend, to authorize the issuance of stock or to adopt a plan of merger pursuant to Section 78.125 of the NRS. Any such committee may authorize the seal of the Company to be affixed to all papers which may require it. In addition to the above, such committee or committees shall have such other powers and limitations of authority as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. (b) The Board of Directors shall have the power at any time to change the membership of any such committee and to fill vacancies in it. A majority of the number of members of any such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business unless a greater number is required by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The act of the majority of the members of a committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee, unless the act of a greater number is required by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. Each such committee may elect a chairman and appoint such subcommittees and assistants as it may deem necessary. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, meetings of any committee shall be conducted in accordance with Paragraphs 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 7.3 hereof. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of the absent or disqualified member. Any member of any such committee elected or appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed by the Board of Directors whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Company will be served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Election or appointment of a member of a committee shall not of itself create contract rights. (c) Any action taken by any committee of the Board of Directors shall promptly be recorded in the minutes and filed with the Secretary. (d) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the composition and powers of any committee of the Board of Directors are expressly subject to the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the capital stock of the Company is traded or quoted, or the Exchange Act.

Composition of the Board of Directors (a) Upon the occurrence of a Walgreens Investor Rights Initiation Event, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) took the action necessary to cause one (1) Walgreens Designee to be appointed to the Board. (b) Upon the occurrence of a Walgreens Investor Rights Step-Up Event, the Board shall promptly (and in any case within ten (10) Business Days) after receiving a Walgreens Investor Rights Step-Up Event Notice take all action necessary (including by amending the organizational documents of the Company, if necessary) to cause one (1) additional Walgreens Designee to be appointed to the Board, such that the Board shall have two (2) Walgreens Directors. (c) During the Walgreens Investor Rights Period, subject to the other provisions of this Section 1.1, including Section 1.1(d), and Section 1.2, at each annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected to the Board, the Company will nominate and use its reasonable best efforts (which shall, subject to Applicable Law, include including in any proxy statement used by the Company to solicit the vote of its stockholders in connection with any such meeting the recommendation of the Board that stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the slate of directors) to cause the election to the Board of a slate of directors that includes (i) during the Walgreens Enhanced Investor Rights Period, two (2) Walgreens Designees or (ii) otherwise, one (1) Walgreens Designee. (d) WBA shall notify the Company of the identity of any proposed Walgreens Designee, in writing, on or before the time such information is reasonably requested by the Board or the Governance and Nominating Committee for inclusion in a proxy statement for a meeting of stockholders, together with all information about such proposed Walgreens Designee as shall be reasonably requested by the Board or the Governance and Nominating Committee (including, at a minimum, any information regarding such proposed Walgreens Designee to the extent required by applicable securities laws or for any other person nominated for election to the Board). (e) Subject to Section 1.1(d) and Section 1.2, so long as no Walgreens Investor Rights Termination Event has occurred, in the event of (i) the death, disability, removal or resignation of a Walgreens Director, the Board will promptly appoint as a replacement Walgreens Director the Walgreens Designee designated by WBA to fill the resulting vacancy, or (ii) the failure of a Walgreens Designee to be elected to the Board at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which such Walgreens Designee stood for election but was nevertheless not elected (such Walgreens Designee, a “Walgreens Specified Designee”), the Board will promptly appoint another Walgreens Designee designated by WBA to serve in lieu of such Walgreens Specified Designee as a Walgreens Director during the term that such Walgreens Specified Designee would have served had such Walgreens Specified Designee been elected at such meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and, in each case of clause (i) and clause (ii), such individual shall then be deemed a Walgreens Director for all purposes hereunder. Neither the Company nor the Board will remove any Walgreens Director without the prior written consent of WBA, unless such Walgreens Director is no longer eligible for designation as a member of the Board pursuant to Section 1.2 or to the extent necessary to remedy a breach of Section 1.5. (f) The Company will at all times provide each Walgreens Director (in his or her capacity as a member of the Board) with the same rights to indemnification and exculpation that it provides to the other members of the Board. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any such indemnification obligations to indemnify or advance expenses to each Walgreens Director, in his or her capacity as such, for the matters covered by such indemnification obligations, shall be the primary source of indemnification and advancement of such Walgreens Director in connection therewith, and any obligation on the part of any Investor Indemnitor under any Investor Indemnification Agreement to indemnify or advance expenses to such Walgreens Director shall be secondary to the Company’s obligation and shall be reduced by any amount that such Walgreens Director may collect as indemnification or advancement from the Company. In the event that the Company fails to indemnify or advance expenses to each Walgreens Director as required by such indemnification obligations and this Agreement (such unpaid amounts, the “Unpaid Indemnitee Amounts”), and any Investor Indemnitor makes any payment to such Walgreens Director in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses under any Investor Indemnification Agreement on account of such Unpaid Indemnitee Amounts, such Investor Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the rights of such Walgreens Director under this Agreement in respect of such Unpaid Indemnitee Amounts.
