(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.

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.
