ARTICLE I

GOVERNANCE

1.1 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).

-2-

(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.

1.2 Objection to Investor Designee.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article I, WBA will not be entitled to designate a particular Walgreens Designee (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any Walgreens Director) to the Board pursuant to this Article I in the event that the Board reasonably determines that (i) the election of such Walgreens Designee to the Board would cause the Company to not be in compliance with Applicable Law, (ii) such Walgreens Designee has been involved in any of the events enumerated in Item 2(d) or (e) of Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act or Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act or is subject to any order, decree or judgment

-3-

of any Governmental Authority prohibiting service as a director of any public company, (iii) such Walgreens Designee does not satisfy the director eligibility requirements applicable to the other members of the Board (e.g., mandatory retirement age) or (iv) such Walgreens Designee is not reasonably acceptable to the Board or Governance and Nominating Committee; provided, that for the purposes of this clause (iv), each of the Persons set forth on Section S-1.2 of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Board and Governance and Nominating Committee for so long as this Agreement remains in effect and none of the circumstances set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence shall be applicable with respect to such Person. In any such case described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence, WBA will withdraw the designation of such proposed Walgreens Designee and, so long as no Walgreens Investor Rights Termination Event has occurred, be permitted to designate a replacement therefor (which replacement Walgreens Designee will also be subject to the requirements of this Section 1.2).

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.2(a) and the Persons set forth on Section S-1.2 of the Company Disclosure Letter, WBA shall not be entitled to designate SP as a Walgreens Designee (or, for the avoidance of doubt, a Walgreens Director) to the Board pursuant to this Article I, and SP shall have no right to be appointed to the Board, unless and until SP shall have first executed a customary joinder agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and WBA, pursuant to which SP shall agree during any time the SP Standstill Period is in effect to be bound by, and to cause any SP Investor to comply with, Section 2.2, and, to the extent applicable, Article VI, of this Agreement mutatis mutandis as if SP and each SP Investor were a “Alliance Boots Investor” hereunder.

1.3 No Adverse Action; Voting Agreement.

(a) Until the occurrence of the Walgreens Investor Rights Termination Event, without the prior consent of WBA, except as required by Applicable Law, neither the Company nor the Board shall (i) increase the size of the Board such that the number of directors on the Board is greater than the sum of (A) nine (9) and (B) the number of Walgreens Designees to which WBA is entitled pursuant to Section 1.1 (such sum, the “Maximum Board Size”) or (ii) take any action to cause the amendment of its charter, bylaws or other organizational documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any documents giving rise to the eligibility requirements described in clause (iii) of Section 1.2(a)) such that WBA’s rights under this Article I would not be given effect; provided, that the Maximum Board Size can be increased by a maximum of one (1) additional director for a period of up to one year (or such shorter period ending upon the effectiveness of the retirement described in this proviso) to accommodate the pending retirement of a director that will occur during such one-year period.

(b) During any time in which the Standstill Period is in effect, each Investor agrees to cause each Voting Security owned by it or any of its respective Permitted Transferees or over which it or any of its respective Permitted Transferees has voting control to be voted (including, if applicable, through the execution of one or more written consents if stockholders of the Company are requested to vote through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company): (x) in favor of all those persons nominated to serve as directors of the Company by the Board or its Governance and Nominating Committee and (y) with respect to any other action, proposal or other matter to be

-4-

voted upon by the stockholders of the Company (including through action by written consent), in accordance with the recommendation of the Board; provided, however, that no Investor or any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation whatsoever to vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Board or in any other manner, other than in its sole discretion, with respect to the approval (or non-approval) or adoption (or non-adoption) of, or other proposal directly related to, any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Transaction.

(c) For so long as it is subject to the voting requirements of Section 1.3(b), each Investor hereby appoints the Chairman of the Board and any designee thereof, and each of them individually, its proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent during the term of this Agreement with respect to shares of Company Common Stock owned by such Investor or any of its Permitted Transferees or over which such Investor or any of its Permitted Transferees has voting control to be voted in accordance with Section 1.3(b). This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Investor under this Agreement. Each Investor hereby agrees that it shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy; this proxy and power of attorney granted by such Investor shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement (but subject to Section 1.3(b)), shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient under Applicable Law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by such Investor with respect to shares of Company Common Stock. The power of attorney granted by each Investor herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution or bankruptcy of such Investor.

1.4 Board Committees

(a) At any time when at least one (1) Walgreens Director is a member of the Board, each committee of the Board shall include (to the extent that a Walgreens Director elects to serve on such committee), as a full member with the same voting and other privileges as other members of such committee, at least one (1) Walgreens Director, subject to such Walgreens Director meeting the applicable eligibility requirements for such committee mandated by Applicable Law or the charter of such committee; provided, that to the extent more than one (1) Walgreens Director shall meet such eligibility requirements, WBA shall determine which such one (1) Walgreens Director shall be entitled to be included as a member of such committee.

(b) Until no Walgreens Director serves as a director on the Board (and WBA either no longer has any rights under this Article I to designate any Walgreens Designee to serve on the Board or irrevocably waives any such rights), the Company shall not amend the charter, bylaws or any other organizational documents of the Company, or the charter or other governing documents of any committee of the Board, in any manner that, either directly or indirectly through impact or effect, adversely and disparately affects the ability of any Walgreens Director to be a member of any such committee.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.4, no Walgreens Director shall be entitled to serve on any ad hoc, special or similar committee established by the Board to consider a matter with respect to which the Board has determined in good faith, following consultation with outside counsel to the Company, that WBA or its Affiliates (expressly including Walgreens Boots Alliance Development GmbH), or such particular Walgreens Director, as applicable, has a conflict with respect to such matter.

-5-

1.5 Termination of Board Designation Rights. Promptly upon the occurrence of the Walgreens Investor Rights Termination Event, all obligations of the Company with respect to the Investors and any Walgreens Director or Walgreens Designee pursuant to this Article I (other than Section 1.1(f)) shall terminate and unless otherwise consented to by a majority of the members of the Board (in each case, excluding Walgreens Directors, if any) the Investors shall cause any Walgreens Directors to immediately resign from the Board. Promptly upon the occurrence of the Walgreens Investor Rights Step-Down Event, to the extent there is more than one (1) Walgreens Director, unless otherwise consented to by a majority of the members of the Board (in each case, excluding Walgreens Directors, if any), the Investors shall cause one (1) Walgreens Director to immediately resign from the Board.

1.6 Information Rights.

(a) For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Applicable Law, prior to a Walgreens Investor Rights Termination Event, the Company and its Subsidiaries will prepare and provide, or cause to be prepared and provided, to each Walgreens Director (in his or her capacity as such) any materials or other information prepared for or given to any other member of the Board (excluding any such materials or other information prepared for and given to solely the Chief Executive Officer and no other member of the Board), as and when prepared for or given to any such other member, or any other materials or other information relating to the management, operations and finances of the Company and its Subsidiaries as and when generally provided to directors of the Company or as and when reasonably requested by such Walgreens Director (in his or her capacity as such). Each Walgreens Director shall be bound by and subject to the same confidentiality obligations as each other director of the Company.

(b) During the Walgreens Investor Rights Period:

(i) The Company and its Subsidiaries will prepare and provide, or cause to be prepared and provided, to WBA:

(A) within the time periods applicable to the Company under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (or if the Company is at any time not subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) under the Exchange Act, the time periods that would be applicable to the Company if it were so subject) all quarterly and annual financial statements required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K; and

(B) within thirty (30) days after the end of each monthly accounting period in each fiscal quarter, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the end of each such monthly period, and the unaudited consolidated statements of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries for each such monthly period and for the current fiscal year to date.

-6-

(ii) The Company will consider and respond in good faith to reasonable requests for information, to the extent already existing or that can be prepared without excessive cost or management time, regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries from WBA (to the extent such requests are made in its capacity as a direct or indirect stockholder of the Company and to the extent such requests are made by the Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chairman, Chief Financial Officer or Controller of WBA), it being understood that the Company shall have discretion as to (1) whether or not to provide, in whole or in part, any such requested information and (2) whether or not to impose restrictions on WBA with respect to the types or categories of Representatives to whom such information may be disclosed (including, for example, requiring that any such information only be disclosed to corporate staff of WBA, and not to employees with operational responsibility), in each case in light of the nature of the request and the facts and circumstances at the time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be required to provide any such information if (i) the Company determines that such information is competitively sensitive, (ii) the Company determines in good faith that providing such information would adversely affect the Company (taking into account the nature of the request and the facts and circumstances at such time) or (iii) providing such information (A) would reasonably be expected to jeopardize an attorney-client privilege or cause a loss of attorney work product protection, (B) would violate a confidentiality obligation to any person or (C) would violate any Applicable Law; provided, that, with respect to clauses (i)-(iii), the Company uses reasonable efforts, and cooperates in good faith with WBA, to develop and implement reasonable alternative arrangements to provide WBA (and its Representatives) with the intended benefits of this Section 1.6.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, during the Walgreens Investor Rights Period, the Company and its Subsidiaries will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and provide, or to cause to be prepared and provided, including, if requested and reasonably available, in electronic data format, to WBA, or to assist WBA with preparing (at the expense of WBA), in a reasonably timely fashion upon reasonable prior request by WBA, any (A) financial information (including those described in clauses (A)-(B) of Section 1.6(b)(i)) or other data relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries and (B) any other relevant information or data, in each case to the extent necessary, as reasonably determined in good faith by WBA, for WBA, to (x) comply with GAAP or IFRS, as applicable, or to comply with its reporting, filing, tax, accounting or other obligations under Applicable Law or (y) apply the equity method of accounting, in the event WBA, is required to account for its investment in the Company under the equity method of accounting under GAAP or IFRS, as applicable, and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to cooperate in good faith with such Investor in connection with the foregoing; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will WBA or its Affiliates disclose (including by reflecting such information on their financial statements) any financial information or other financial data provided to WBA pursuant to this Section 1.6 prior to the Company first publicly disclosing such information in its ordinary course of business, other than pursuant to the terms of Section 1.6(d)(i) or Section 1.6(d)(iv) (solely to the extent required by subpoena, order or other compulsory legal process). WBA shall promptly, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any actions taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 1.6(c).

-7-

(d) In furtherance of and not in limitation of any other similar agreement such party or any of its Representatives may have with the Company or its Subsidiaries, each of the Investors hereby agrees that all Confidential Information with respect to the Company shall be kept confidential by it and shall not be disclosed (including by reflecting such information on their financial statements) by it in any manner whatsoever, except as permitted by this Section 1.6(d). Any Confidential Information may be disclosed:

(i) by an Investor (x) to each other Investor, (y) to any of its Affiliates and (z) to such Investor’s or such Affiliate’s respective directors, managers, officers, employees and authorized representatives (including attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors thereof) (each of the Persons described in clauses (y) and (z)), collectively, for purposes of this Section 1.6(d) and the definition of Confidential Information, “Representatives” of such Investor), in the case of clause (y) and clause (z), solely if and to the extent any such Person needs to be provided such Confidential Information to assist such Investor or its Affiliates in evaluating or reviewing its existing or prospective direct or indirect investment in the Company, including in connection with the disposition thereof. Each Representative of an Investor shall be deemed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 1.6(d) and such Investor shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 1.6(d) (or such other agreement or obligation, as applicable) by any of its Representatives;

(ii) by an Investor or any of its Representatives to the extent the Company consents in writing;

(iii) by an Investor or any of its Representatives to a potential Transferee (so long as such Transfer is permitted hereunder); provided, that such Transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 1.6(d) (or a confidentiality agreement having restrictions substantially similar to this Section 1.6(d)) and such Investor shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 1.6(d) (or such confidentiality agreement) by any such Transferee; and

(iv) by any Investor or any of its Representatives to the extent that such Investor or Representative has been advised by its outside counsel that such disclosure is required to be made by such Investor or Representative under Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority, including as (and to the extent) may be required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority in furtherance of any action taken by such Person not in contravention of the terms of Section 2.2(b)(ii), and in any case such Investor or Representative is not otherwise in material breach of Section 2.2 of this Agreement; provided, that prior to making such disclosure, such Person uses commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, including, to the extent practicable and permitted by Applicable Law, consulting with the Company regarding such disclosure and, if reasonably requested by the Company, assisting the Company, at the Company’s expense, in seeking a protective order to prevent the requested disclosure; provided, further, that such disclosing Investor or Representative, as the case may be, uses reasonable best efforts to disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information as is requested by the applicable Governmental Authority or as is, based on the advice of its

-8-

outside counsel, legally required or compelled; and provided, further, that the parties hereto expressly agree that notwithstanding anything in the Alliance Boots Confidentiality Agreement, the Walgreens Confidentiality Agreement, or any other confidentiality agreement between or among the Company, the Investors or their Respective Affiliates or Representatives, to the contrary, any Confidential Information that is permitted to be disclosed or used in any manner pursuant to this Agreement can be so disclosed or used.

(d) As promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 48 hours) following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall advise WBA in writing of the receipt of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and provide to WBA a written summary of the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (including the identity of the Person or Group making such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry) and a copy of all substantive (or otherwise material) documentation and correspondence relating thereto. Thereafter, the Company shall keep WBA apprised of any related substantive (or otherwise material) developments, discussions and negotiations (including providing WBA with a copy of all substantive (or otherwise material) documentation and correspondence relating thereto) on a reasonably current basis. The Company agrees that it shall promptly provide WBA any substantive (or otherwise material) non-public information concerning the Company that may be provided to any other Person or Group in connection with any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry which has not previously been provided to WBA and WBA agrees that it will keep any such information confidential in accordance with the terms of Section 1.6.

(e) If (i) the Company engages in any share repurchases or series of related share repurchases (whether through self-tender, open market transactions or otherwise) that have the effect of causing the collective Beneficial Ownership of Company Common Stock of the Investors, SP and the SP Investors, as a group, to exceed the Ultimate Standstill Level (a “Share Repurchase Ownership Event”) or (ii) following exercise of either of the Warrants (in whole or in part) the collective Beneficial Ownership of Company Common Stock of the Investors, SP and the SP Investors, as a group, exceeds the Ultimate Standstill Level (a “Warrant Exercise Ownership Event”), then, subject to Applicable Law, following receipt by WBA of a written notice from the Company delivered no later than on the tenth (10^th) Business Day following such Share Repurchase Ownership Event or Warrant Exercise Ownership Event, as applicable, (x) notifying WBA of such Share Repurchase Ownership Event or Warrant Exercise Ownership Event, as applicable (and including, in the case of a Share Repurchase Ownership Event, current and reasonably detailed information with respect to such share repurchase(s) and, in all cases, the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding in order to permit WBA to verify such Share Repurchase Ownership Event or Warrant Exercise Ownership Event, as applicable, and the calculations set forth in this Section 2.2(e)), (y) requesting that WBA engage in the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.2(e) and (z) irrevocably offering to WBA to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.2(e) (a “Sell Down Request”), WBA shall, on the Sell Down Date (as defined below), sell to the Company, at a purchase price per share (payable by the Company in cash) equal to the Thirty Day VWAP of Company Common Stock as of the closing of trading on such Business Day, such number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (to the extent actually owned by the Investors) as shall be necessary to cause the Investors’, SP’s and the SP Investors’ collective Beneficial Ownership of Company Common Stock not to exceed the Ultimate Standstill Level. The “Sell-Down Date” shall mean a date selected by WBA that is no later than the twelfth (12^th) Business Day following WBA’s receipt of the Sell-Down Request; provided, however, that to the extent such sale would, in WBA’s reasonable judgment, based upon advice of outside counsel to WBA, require WBA,

-14-

an Investor, SP, the SP Investors, any Walgreens Director or any of their respective Affiliates that has acquired Beneficial Ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock in the six (6) months preceding receipt of the applicable Sell Down Request (the “Acquisition”) to disgorge any profit from such sale pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Sell-Down Date shall be the earliest date determined by WBA in its reasonable judgment, based upon advice of outside counsel to WBA, on which such sale may be made without requiring any such disgorgement pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (and in any event no later than the twelfth (12^th) Business Day after the seven (7) month anniversary of such Acquisition).

(f) During the Standstill Period, solely with respect to the Company, WBA (i) shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate or agree to any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of Sections 3.1(a)(i), 3.1(b) and 3.1(c) of the Walgreens Shareholders Agreement (the “Relevant Sections”) (including any amendment or modification of the definition of any defined term used in such Sections) and (ii) shall, including in the event of a breach thereof by SP or an SP Investor, take all actions reasonably within its control to seek to enforce the Relevant Sections to the fullest extent permissible under Applicable Law.

Upon knowledge of any breach or default by SP or the SP Investors, or expiration or termination by its terms or otherwise, of the Relevant Sections with respect to the Company, WBA shall, as promptly as practicable (but in any event within 48 hours), notify the Company.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall prevent or restrict the ability of any Investor to acquire or Transfer among Investors subject to compliance with Section 2.2(b) Derivative Instruments for the purpose of engaging in “hedging” or other similar transactions in connection with acquiring (x) the Initial Open Market Shares, (y) during any period that Additional Open Market Shares could otherwise be purchased, the Additional Open Market Shares or (z) the 2021 Shares. In no event will the notional amount of shares underlying any such Derivative Instruments exceed, at any time (1) in the case of Derivative Instruments used for the purpose of engaging in “hedging” or other similar transactions in connection with acquiring the Initial Open Market Shares, the total number of Initial Open Market Shares which the IOMS Rights Holder could purchase at such time, (2) in the case of Derivative Instruments used for the purpose of engaging in “hedging” or other similar transactions in connection with acquiring the Additional Open Market Shares, the total number of Additional Open Market Shares which the Investors could purchase at such time or (3) in the case of Derivative Instruments used for the purpose of engaging in “hedging” or other similar transactions in connection with acquiring the 2021 Shares, 2,000,000 shares.

2.3 Preemptive Rights.

-15-

(a) The Company hereby grants to WBA (the “Pre-Emptive Stockholder”) the right, subject to Applicable Law, to purchase (and/or to designate one or more Permitted Transferees of WBA to purchase (subject to Section 2.1(b) and so long as any such Permitted Transferee, to the extent it has not already done so, executes a customary joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, in which such Permitted Transferee, agrees to be an Investor for all purposes of this Agreement)) the Pre-Emptive Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of any Equity Securities (collectively, the “New Securities”) that the Company may from time to time propose to issue (other than in Permitted Transactions); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) such Pro Rata Portion of any New Securities shall not increase the total number of New Securities issued or proposed to be issued, other than (x) in the case of New Securities issued as consideration for the consummation by the Company of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of any business, or any other business combination or (y) in any other issuance in the form of an Underwritten Offering or other registered public offering (including a block trade), in which case, if the Pre-Emptive Stockholder elects to purchase its Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities, the total number of New Securities issued in connection with such transaction shall be increased by such Pro Rata Portion (the “Proposed Issuance Increase”), and (ii) no Proposed Issuance (including (x) any issuance of New Securities to the Pre-Emptive Stockholder (and/or its designees) and (y) any Proposed Issuance Increase pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i)) completed in compliance with this Section 2.3 shall be applied in a circular manner to this Section 2.3 so as to result in duplicative or iterative pre-emptive rights.

(b) The Company shall give written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance described in subsection (a) above (“Proposed Issuance”) to WBA no later than five (5) Business Days prior to such issuance (or if such notice period is not reasonably possible under the circumstances, such prior written notice as is reasonably possible). The Issuance Notice shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance, including:

(i) the number and description of the New Securities proposed to be issued and the percentage of the Company’s outstanding Equity Securities such issuance would represent;

(ii) the proposed issuance date; and

(iii) the cash purchase price per New Security (and/or, if applicable, reasonably detailed information with respect to any non-cash consideration proposed to be received by the Company in respect of such proposed issuance, in order to permit the Pre-emptive Stockholder to evaluate the Market Price (in the case of securities) and/or Fair Market Value (as defined in Warrant 1) (in the case of any other property) of any such non-cash consideration); provided, however, that in the event the Proposed Issuance is in the form of an Underwritten Offering or other registered public offering (including a block trade), the Issuance Notice may in lieu of a specific number of New Securities or a specific price, include a range (established, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, based upon information provided by the underwriter for such Underwritten Offering) within which the number of New Securities (the “Issuance Size Range”) and cash purchase price per New Security is expected to fall (the “Purchase Price Range”).

-16-

(c) The Pre-emptive Stockholder shall for a period of (i) if the Issuance Notice sets forth a fixed number of New Securities and a cash purchase price per New Security (and not an Issuance Size Range or a Purchase Price Range), five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period if the Issuance Notice was sent by the Company in accordance with the first sentence of subsection (b) above less than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date, but in no event less than one (1) Business Day) following the receipt of an Issuance Notice (the “Fixed Price Exercise Period”) have the right to elect to purchase (and/or to designate any Permitted Transferee of WBA to purchase) or (ii) if the Issuance Notice sets forth an Issuance Size Range or a Purchase Price Range pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iii), five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period if the Issuance Notice was sent by the Company in accordance with the first sentence of subsection (b) above less than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date, but in no event less than one (1) Business Day) following the receipt of an Issuance Notice, shall have the right to deliver a non-binding indication of interest as to the number of New Securities that WBA or any Permitted Transferee would be interested in purchasing at one or more prices within the Purchase Price Range and, if WBA or its Permitted Transferee delivers such a non-binding indication of interest, within three (3) Business Days after the later of the issuance date and receipt by the WBA of a notice specifying the actual number of New Securities and price per New Security issued by the Company, shall have the right to elect to purchase (and/or to designate any Permitted Transferee of WBA to purchase) (which election may be for less than, more than or the same number of New Securities as WBA or its Permitted Transferee indicated in its corresponding non-binding indication of interest, as described in subsection (a) above) its Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities, at an all-cash purchase price per New Security (the “Per Security Offering Price”) equal to: (1) in the case of all-cash consideration proposed to be received by the Company in respect of the Proposed Issuance, the cash purchase price per New Security set forth in the Issuance Notice (or, in the event that the Issuance Notice sets forth a Purchase Price Range pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iii) above, at the actual cash purchase price per New Security at which the New Securities are sold in the applicable public offering) or (2) in the case of consideration other than all-cash consideration proposed to be received by the Company in respect of the Proposed Issuance, the per New Security price derived from the aggregate Market Price of all consideration proposed to be received by the Company that is securities and the aggregate Fair Market Value of all consideration (including cash) proposed to be received by the Company other than securities, in each case as of the date of receipt of such Issuance Notice; provided, however, that, in the case of New Securities issued as consideration for the consummation by the Company of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of any business, or any other business combination, the per New Security price shall be derived from the valuation methodology used by the Board in determining the value of the New Securities for purposes of establishing the consideration to be paid pursuant to such merger, consolidation, acquisition or business combination. The Pre-emptive Stockholder may exercise its election by delivering a written notice to the Company during the Exercise Period. Such notice must indicate the specific amount of New Securities that the Pre-emptive Stockholder desires to purchase (and/or designate others to purchase, as described above) and may not be conditioned in any manner not also available to other potential purchasers of the Proposed Issuance. The Pre-emptive Stockholder, if so exercising its election (the “Exercising Stockholder”), shall be entitled and obligated to purchase, or to cause such other persons it may have designated in accordance with this Section 2.3 to purchase, that portion of the New Securities so offered to the Pre-emptive Stockholder specified in the Pre-emptive Stockholder’s notice on the terms and

-17-

conditions set forth in the Issuance Notice. The failure of the Pre-emptive Stockholder to exercise its election during the Exercise Period shall be deemed a waiver by the Pre-emptive Stockholder of its rights under this Section 2.3 with respect to such Proposed Issuance. The closing of any purchase by the Pre-emptive Stockholder (and/or any of its designees) shall be consummated (i) concurrently with the consummation of the Proposed Issuance or (ii) if the Issuance Notice sets forth an Issuance Size Range or Purchase Price Range pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iii), on the second Business Day following receipt of WBA’s election to purchase (and/or to designate any Permitted Transferee of WBA to purchase) in compliance with this paragraph (c); provided, however, that the closing of any purchase by the Pre-emptive Stockholder (and/or any of its designees) may be extended beyond the closing of the consummation of the Proposed Issuance to the extent necessary to obtain required Governmental Approvals, but for the avoidance of doubt the Company shall not be required to delay or extend the closing of the other portion of the Proposed Issuance to the extent not subject to such Governmental Approval requirement (and, subject to Section 3.1 of the Framework Agreement, the Company and the Investors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain such Governmental Approvals) and/or to finally determine any required calculations of Market Price and/or Fair Market Value in accordance with the terms of such definitions.

(d) Subject to Section 2.3(g), if the Pre-emptive Stockholder (directly or through its designees) fails to purchase its allotment of the New Securities within the time period described in Section 2.3(c), the Company shall be free to complete the Proposed Issuance to the extent and with respect to which the Pre-emptive Stockholder failed to exercise the option set forth in this Section 2.3 on terms no less favorable to the Company (including with respect to consideration) than those set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the amount of New Securities to be issued or sold by the Company may be reduced and it being understood that in connection with any Underwritten Offering or other registered public offering (including a block trade) in which the Issuance Notice contains an Issuance Size Range or a Purchase Price Range, the Company shall be free to complete the Proposed Issuance at any number of New Securities within the Issuance Size Range and at any price to the public that falls within the Purchase Price Range); provided, that such Proposed Issuance is closed within sixty (60) Business Days after the expiration of the Exercise Period (subject to the extension of such sixty (60) Business Day period for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional sixty (60) Business Days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals). In the event the Company has not completed (in whole or in part) such Proposed Issuance within such time period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any such New Securities without first again offering such securities to the Pre-Emptive Stockholder in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3.

(e) Upon the issuance of any New Securities in accordance with this Section 2.3, the Company shall deliver to the Exercising Stockholder (and/or any of its designees) certificates evidencing the New Securities, which New Securities shall be issued free and clear of any liens, other than liens or encumbrances created by the Transaction Documents, arising as a matter of Applicable Law or created by or at the direction of any of the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates, and the Company shall so represent and warrant to the purchasers thereof, and further represent and warrant to such purchasers that such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to such purchasers and after payment of the Per Security Offering Price therefor, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Exercising Stockholder shall

-18-

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company the aggregate Per Security Offering Price for the New Securities purchased by it (and/or such designees) by certified or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. In the event that a Proposed Issuance shall be terminated or abandoned by the Company without the issuance of any New Securities, then the Pre-emptive Stockholder’s rights pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall also terminate as to such Proposed Issuance.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate New Securities issued to the Exercising Stockholder and its designees hereunder may equal but shall not exceed the aggregate Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities of all the Investors.

(g) In the event that the Company has been advised by its outside counsel that the issuance of New Securities in full to the Pre-emptive Stockholder pursuant to this Section 2.3 would require the approval of the Company’s stockholders under Applicable Law, including the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, (i) the excess amount of such New Securities to the extent otherwise triggering such stockholder approval requirement will be excluded from the total number of New Securities that the Pre-emptive Stockholder would otherwise have a right to purchase pursuant to this Section 2.3 (such excess amount of New Securities, the “Excluded New Securities”) and (ii) the Pre-emptive Stockholder shall instead be permitted (in its sole discretion) to acquire (and/or any Permitted Transferee of WBA to purchase, as described in subsection (a) above), in one or more open market transactions, up to a number of shares of Company Common Stock, that would, in the aggregate, result, after giving effect to such open market transactions (and ignoring other intervening events), in the Pre-emptive Stockholder’s (and/or such designee(s)’), as applicable, Beneficial Ownership of Company Common Stock being equal to what the Pre-emptive Stockholder’s (and/or such designee(s)’), as applicable, Beneficial Ownership of Company Common Stock would have been had New Securities been issued in full pursuant to this Section 2.3 to the Pre-emptive Stockholder (and/or such designee(s)) in the absence of such stockholder approval requirement (such shares of Company Common Stock purchasable pursuant to this Section 2.3(g)(ii), the “Replacement Pre-emptive Shares”).

2.4 Outside Activities.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 1.6 of this Agreement and Section 3.6 of the Framework Agreement, any Investor and any of its Affiliates may engage in or possess any interest in other investments, business ventures or Persons of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to, or that competes with, the investments or business of the Company, and may provide advice and other assistance to any such investment, business venture or Person.

(b) The Company shall have no rights by virtue of this Agreement in and to such investments, business ventures or Persons or the income or profits derived therefrom.

(c) The pursuit of any such investment or venture, even if competitive with the business of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper and shall not constitute a conflict of interest or breach of fiduciary or other duty in respect of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Investors. None of the Investors or any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to

-19-

present any particular investment or business opportunity to the Company even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company, could be pursued by the Company, and any Investor and any of its Affiliates shall have the right to pursue for its own account (individually or as a partner or a fiduciary) or to recommend to any other Person any such investment opportunity; provided, that a Walgreens Director who is offered an investment or business opportunity in his or her capacity as a member of the Board shall be obligated to communicate such opportunity to the Company, in which case such Walgreens Director, the Investors and their respective Affiliates (expressly including WBAD), respectively, shall not be permitted to pursue such opportunity unless (i) the Board determines not to do so or (ii) such Walgreens Director, the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates (expressly including WBAD) learn of such opportunity other than as a result of such Walgreens Director being offered such opportunity in his or her capacity as a member of the Board.

ARTICLE IV

REGISTRATION

4.1 Demand Registrations.

(a) From and after the date hereof, subject to the terms and conditions hereof (x) solely during any period that the Company is then-ineligible under Applicable Law to register Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or, if the Company is so eligible but has failed to comply with its obligations under Section 4.3 or (y) following the expiration of the Company’s obligation to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective pursuant to Section 4.3(c), but only if there is no Shelf Registration Statement then in effect, any Demand Shareholders (“Requesting Shareholders”) shall be entitled to make an unlimited number of written requests of the Company (each, a “Demand”) for registration under the Securities Act of an amount of Registrable Securities then held by such Requesting Shareholders that equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount (a “Demand Registration” and such registration statement, a “Demand Registration Statement”). Thereupon, the Company will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration as promptly as practicable under the Securities Act of:

(i) the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Shareholders for disposition in accordance with the intended method of disposition stated in such Demand;

(ii) all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to Section 4.1(b), but subject to Section 4.1(g); and

(iii) all shares of Company Common Stock which the Company may elect to register in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1, but subject to Section 4.1(g); all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities and the additional shares of Company Common Stock, if any, to be so registered.

(b) A Demand shall specify: (i) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Registration, (ii) the intended method of disposition in connection with such Demand Registration, to the extent then known, and (iii) the identity of the Requesting Shareholder(s). Within ten (10) days after receipt of a Demand, the Company shall give written notice of such Demand to all other holders of Registrable Securities. The Company shall include in the Demand Registration covered by such Demand all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after the Company’s notice required by this paragraph has been given, subject to Section 4.1(g). Each such written request shall comply with the requirements of a Demand as set forth in this Section 4.1(b).

-22-

(c) A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have been effected and shall not count as a Demand Registration (i) unless the Demand Registration Statement with respect thereto has become effective and has remained effective for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) days or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration have actually been sold or otherwise disposed of thereunder (provided, that such period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the holders of Registrable Securities refrain from selling any securities included in such registration statement at the request of the Company or the lead managing underwriter(s) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (ii) if, after it has become effective, such Demand Registration becomes subject, prior to one hundred eighty (180) days after effectiveness, to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other Governmental Authority, other than by reason of any act or omission by the applicable Selling Shareholders.

(d) Demand Registrations shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Shareholders.

(e) The Company shall not be obligated to (i) subject to Section 4.1(c), maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act filed pursuant to a Demand Registration for a period longer than one hundred eighty (180) days or (ii) effect any Demand Registration (A) within six (6) months of a “firm commitment” Underwritten Offering in which all Demand Shareholders were offered “piggyback” rights pursuant to Section 4.2 (subject to Section 4.2(b)) and at least fifty percent (50%) of the number of Registrable Securities requested by such Demand Shareholders to be included in such Demand Registration were included, (B) within six (6) months of the completion of any other Demand Registration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement) or (C) if, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, it is not feasible for the Company to proceed with the Demand Registration because of the unavailability of audited or other required financial statements of the Company or any other Person; provided, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such financial statements as promptly as practicable.

(f) The Company shall be entitled to (1) postpone (upon written notice to the Demand Shareholders) the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for any Demand Registration, (2) cause any Demand Registration Statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated and (3) suspend the use of the prospectus forming the part of any registration statement, in each case in the event of a Blackout Period until the expiration of the applicable Blackout Period. In the event of a Blackout Period under clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the Company shall deliver to the Demand Shareholders requesting registration a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the conditions described in clause (ii) of the definition of Blackout Period are met. Such certificate shall contain an approximation of the anticipated delay. Upon notice by the Company to the Demand Shareholders of any such determination, each Demand Shareholder covenants that, subject to Applicable Law, it shall keep the fact of any

-23-

such notice strictly confidential, and, in the case of a Blackout Period pursuant to clause (ii)(y) of the definition of Blackout Period, promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or other Transfer by it or any of its Affiliates of any Registrable Securities for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company) and promptly halt any use, publication, dissemination or distribution of the Demand Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein, and any amendment or supplement thereto by it and any of its Affiliates for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company) and, if so directed in writing by the Company, will deliver to the Company any copies then in the Demand Shareholder’s possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that was in effect at the time of receipt of such notice.

(g) If, in connection with a Demand Registration that involves an Underwritten Offering, the lead managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company that, in its (their) opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities sought to be registered in connection with such Demand Registration would adversely affect the success thereof, then the Company shall include in such registration statement only such securities as the Company is advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such adverse effect as follows and in the following order of priority: (i) first, up to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Demand Shareholders, which, in the opinion of the lead managing underwriter(s), can be sold without adversely affecting the success thereof, pro rata among such Demand Shareholders on the basis of the number of such Registrable Securities requested to be included by such Demand Shareholders; (ii) second, securities the Company proposes to sell; and (iii) third, all other securities of the Company duly requested to be included in such registration statement, pro rata on the basis of the amount of such other securities requested to be included or such other allocation method determined by the Company.

(h) Any time that a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, the Requesting Shareholder(s) shall select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) that will serve as managing underwriters (including which such managing underwriters will serve as lead or co-lead) and underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities; provided, that such investment banker(s) and manager(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(i) If any Demand Shareholder so elects, a Demand Registration may involve a Permitted Distribution in Kind, and the Company will reasonably facilitate such distribution in the manner reasonably requested by such Demand Shareholder and in compliance with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable.

4.2 Piggyback Registrations.

(a) From and after the date hereof, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, whenever the Company proposes to register any Company Common Stock (or any other securities that are of the same class or series as any Registrable Securities that are not shares of Company Common Stock) under the Securities Act (other than a registration by the Company (i) on Form S-4 or any successor form thereto, (ii) on Form S-8 or any successor form thereto, (iii) on a Shelf Registration Statement or (iv) pursuant to Section 4.1) (a “Piggyback Registration”),

-24-

whether for its own account or for the account of others, the Company shall give all Demand Shareholders prompt written notice thereof (but not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing by the Company with the Commission of any registration statement with respect thereto). Such notice (a “Piggyback Notice”) shall specify the number of shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such registration statement with the Commission, the proposed means of distribution and the proposed managing underwriter(s) (if any) and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed minimum offering price of such shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable), in each case to the extent then known. Subject to Section 4.2(b), the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities held by Demand Shareholders (a “Piggyback Seller”) with respect to which the Company has received written requests (which written requests shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be disposed of by such Piggyback Seller) for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after such Piggyback Notice is received by such Piggyback Seller.

(b) If, in connection with a Piggyback Registration that involves an Underwritten Offering, the lead managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all the securities sought to be included in such Piggyback Registration by (i) the Company, (ii) other Persons who have sought to have shares of Company Common Stock registered in such Piggyback Registration pursuant to rights to demand (other than pursuant to so-called “piggyback” or other incidental or participation registration rights) such registration (such Persons being “Other Demanding Sellers”), (iii) the Piggyback Sellers and (iv) any other proposed sellers of shares of Company Common Stock (such Persons being “Other Proposed Sellers”), as the case may be, would adversely affect the success thereof, then the Company shall include in the registration statement applicable to such Piggyback Registration only such securities as the Company is so advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such an effect, as follows and in the following order of priority:

(i) if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) to be sold by the Company as the Company, in its reasonable judgment, shall have determined, (B) second, Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Piggyback Sellers, (C) third, shares of Company Common Stock sought to be registered by Other Demanding Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Other Demanding Sellers and (D) fourth, other shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by any Other Proposed Sellers; or

(ii) if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering other than for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) sought to be registered by each Other Demanding Seller pro rata in proportion to the number of securities sought to be registered by all such Other Demanding Sellers, (B) second, Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Piggyback Sellers, (C) third, shares of Company Common Stock to be sold by the Company and (D) fourth, other shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by any Other Proposed Sellers.

-25-

(c) For clarity, in connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Section 4.2 for the Company’s account, the Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Piggyback Seller in the Underwritten Offering unless such Piggyback Seller accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s), which shall be selected by the Company.

(d) If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) as set forth in this Section 4.2 and prior to the time the registration statement filed in connection with such Piggyback Registration is declared effective, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable), the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Piggyback Sellers within five (5) Business Days thereof and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such particular withdrawn or abandoned Piggyback Registration; provided, that, if permitted pursuant to Section 4.1, the Demand Shareholders may continue the registration as a Demand Registration pursuant to the terms of Section 4.1.

4.3 Shelf Registration Statement.

(a) From and after the date hereof, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and further subject to the availability of a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto (“Form S-3”) to the Company, any of the Demand Shareholders may by written notice delivered to the Company (the “Shelf Notice”) require the Company to file as soon as reasonably practicable, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing date, a Form S-3 providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an amount of Registrable Securities then held by such Demand Shareholders that equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). To the extent the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), the Company shall file the Shelf Registration Statement in the form of an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) or any successor form thereto.

(b) Within ten (10) days after receipt of a Shelf Notice pursuant to Section 4.3(a), the Company will deliver written notice thereof to all other holders of Registrable Securities. Each other holder of Registrable Securities may elect to participate with respect to its Registrable Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the plan and method of distribution set forth, or to be set forth, in such Shelf Registration Statement, including a Permitted Distribution in Kind, by delivering to the Company a written request to so participate within ten (10) days after the Shelf Notice is received by any such holder of Registrable Securities.

-26-

(c) Subject to Section 4.3(d), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) three (3) years after the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective; (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, or otherwise cease to be Registrable Securities; and (iii) the date on which the Investors’ collective Beneficial Ownership of Company Common Stock falls below five percent (5.0%); provided, that the Company’s obligations under this Section 4.3(c) shall cease after completion of the fifth (5th) Shelf Offering by the Investors (taking into account the time periods described in Section 4.1(c) as if such Shelf Offering were a Demand Registration).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities who elected to participate in the Shelf Registration Statement, to require such holders of Registrable Securities to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement during any Blackout Period. In the event of a Blackout Period under clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the Company shall deliver to the Demand Shareholders requesting registration a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the conditions described in clause (ii) of the definition of Blackout Period are met. Such certificate shall contain an approximation of the anticipated delay. Upon notice by the Company to the Demand Shareholders of any such determination, each Demand Shareholder covenants that it shall, subject to Applicable Law, keep the fact of any such notice strictly confidential, and, in the case of a Blackout Period pursuant to clause (ii)(y) of the definition of Blackout Period, promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or other Transfer by it or any of its Affiliates of any Registrable Securities for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company) and promptly halt any use, publication, dissemination or distribution of the Shelf Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein, and any amendment or supplement thereto by it and any of its Affiliates for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company) and, if so directed in writing by the Company, will deliver to the Company any copies then in the Demand Shareholder’s possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that was in effect at the time of receipt of such notice.

(e) After the expiration of any Blackout Period and without any further request from a holder of Registrable Securities, the Company, to the extent necessary, shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(f) At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if any Demand Shareholder delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to sell all of part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Offering”), then the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf

-27-

Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering (taking into account, solely in connection with a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering, the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other holders pursuant to this Section 4.3). In connection with any Shelf Offering that is an Underwritten Offering and where the plan of distribution set forth in the applicable Take-Down Notice includes a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road show”) or other substantial marketing effort by the Company and the underwriters (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering”):

(i) such proposing Demand Shareholder(s) shall also deliver the Take-Down Notice to all other Demand Shareholders included on the Shelf Registration Statement and permit each such holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement in the Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering if such holder notifies the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) and the Company within five (5) days after delivery of the Take-Down Notice to such holder; and

(ii) if the lead managing underwriter(s) advises the Company and the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities sought to be sold in connection with such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering would adversely affect the success thereof, then there shall be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering only such securities as the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) is advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such adverse effect, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated in the same manner as described in Section 4.1(g). Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Section 4.3, any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering shall be subject to the same requirements, limitations and other provisions of this Article IV as would be applicable to a Demand Registration (i.e., as if such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering were a Demand Registration), including Section 4.1(e)(ii) and Section 4.1(g).

(g) If any Demand Shareholder so elects, a Shelf Offering may be in the form of a block sale to one or more financial institutions for resale pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement (a “Block Trade”). If a Demand Shareholder wishes to engage in a Block Trade, the Demand Shareholder shall notify the Company five (5) Business Days prior to the day such Block Trade is to commence (unless a longer period is agreed to by the Demand Shareholder). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate any Block Trade (which may close as early as two (2) Business Days after the date it commences) consistent with its obligations under this Article 4.

(h) If any Demand Shareholder so elects, a Shelf Offering may involve a Permitted Distribution in Kind, and the Company will reasonably facilitate such distribution in the manner reasonably requested by such Demand Shareholder and in compliance with the Securities Act and Exchange Act, as applicable.

4.4 Withdrawal Rights. Any holder of Registrable Securities having notified or directed the Company to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in a registration statement under the Securities Act shall have the right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration by giving

-28-

written notice to such effect to the Company prior to the effective date of such registration statement. In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement (subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement). No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn; provided, however, that in the case of a Demand Registration, if such withdrawal shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such registration below the Registrable Amount, then the Company shall as promptly as practicable give each Demand Shareholder seeking to register Registrable Securities notice to such effect and, within ten (10) days following the mailing of such notice, such Demand Shareholder still seeking registration shall, by written notice to the Company, elect to register additional Registrable Securities to satisfy the Registrable Amount or elect that such registration statement not be filed or, if theretofore filed, be withdrawn. During such ten (10) day period, the Company shall not file such registration statement if not theretofore filed or, if such registration statement has been theretofore filed, the Company shall not seek, and shall use reasonable best efforts to prevent, the effectiveness thereof.

4.5 Holdback Agreements.

(a) Each Investor agrees to enter into customary agreements restricting the sale or distribution of Equity Securities of the Company (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to the extent required in writing by the lead managing underwriter(s) with respect to an applicable Underwritten Offering during the period commencing on the date of the request (which shall be no earlier than fourteen (14) days prior to the expected “pricing” of such Underwritten Offering) and continuing for not more than ninety (90) days after the date of the “final” prospectus (or “final” prospectus supplement if the Underwritten Offering is made pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement), pursuant to which such Underwritten Offering shall be made, plus an extension period, as may be proposed by the lead managing underwriter(s) to address FINRA regulations regarding the publishing of research, or such lesser period as is required by the lead managing underwriter(s).

(b) If any Demand Registration or Shelf Offering involves an Underwritten Offering, the Company will not effect any sale or distribution of Company Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Company Common Stock) (other than a registration statement on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or any successor forms thereto) for its own account, within sixty (60) days (plus an extension period as may be proposed by the lead managing underwriter(s) for such Underwritten Offering to address FINRA regulations regarding the publication of research, or such shorter periods as the lead managing underwriter(s) may agree with the Company), after the effective date of such registration except as may otherwise be agreed between the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) of such Underwritten Offering.

4.6 Registration Procedures.

(a) If and whenever the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 4.1, Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, the Company shall as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:

-29-

(i) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement to effect such registration in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution of such securities and thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective pursuant to the terms of this Article IV; provided, however, that the Company may discontinue any registration of its securities which are not Registrable Securities at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto; provided, further, that before filing such registration statement or any amendments thereto, the Company will furnish to the Demand Shareholders which are including Registrable Securities in such registration (“Selling Shareholders”), their counsel and the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review and reasonable comment of such counsel, and other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment letter from the Commission, and, if requested by such counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement and each prospectus included therein and such other opportunities to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, including reasonable access to the Company’s books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors. The Company shall not file any such registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto with respect to a Demand Registration to which the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities held by the Requesting Shareholder(s), their counsel or the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object, in writing, on a timely basis, unless, in the opinion of the Company, such filing is necessary to comply with Applicable Law;

(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective pursuant to the terms of this Article IV, and comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

(iii) if requested by the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, or the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an Underwritten Offering (including a Block Trade), promptly include in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, and such holders may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 4.6(a)(iii) that are not, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with Applicable Law;

-30-

(iv) furnish to the Selling Shareholders and each underwriter, if any, of the securities being sold by such Selling Shareholders such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto, such number of copies of the prospectus contained in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and each free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) (a “Free Writing Prospectus”) utilized in connection therewith and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such Selling Shareholders and underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Shareholders;

(v) use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Selling Shareholders, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities laws or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Shareholders and any underwriter of the securities being sold by such Selling Shareholders shall reasonably request, and to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective and take any other action which may be necessary or reasonably advisable to enable such Selling Shareholders and underwriters to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Shareholders, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to:

(A) qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (v) be obligated to be so qualified;

(B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction; or

(vi) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities (if such Registrable Securities are shares of Company Common Stock) to be listed on each securities exchange on which shares of Company Common Stock are then listed;

(vii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(viii) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement) in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings of Company Common Stock by the Company and use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all such other actions reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable

-31-

Securities being sold in connection therewith (including those reasonably requested by the lead managing underwriter(s), if any) to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in such connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an Underwritten Offering (A) make such representations and warranties to the holders of such Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the registration statement, prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers in underwritten offerings, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested, (B) if any underwriting agreement has been entered into, the same shall contain customary indemnification provisions and procedures with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to Section 4.9, except as otherwise agreed by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold and (C) deliver such documents and certificates as reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold, their counsel and the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties made pursuant to sub-clause (A) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company. The above shall be done at each closing under such underwriting or similar agreement, or as and to the extent required thereunder;

(ix) in connection with an Underwritten Offering (including a Block Trade), use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for the underwriter(s) (A) opinions of counsel for the Company, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such underwriters and (B) “comfort” letters and updates thereof (or, in the case of any such Person which does not satisfy the conditions for receipt of a “comfort” letter specified in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72, an “agreed upon procedures” letter) signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, covering the matters customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings;

(x) make available for inspection by the Selling Shareholders, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to any registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained in connection with such offering by such Selling Shareholders or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary, or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested, to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to supply all information in each case reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, attorney, agent or accountant in connection with such registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide any information under this Section 4.6(a)(x) if (A) the Company believes, after consultation with counsel for the Company, that to do so would cause the Company to forfeit an attorney-client privilege that was applicable to such information or (B) either (1) the Company has requested and been granted from the Commission confidential treatment of such

-36-

statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 4.9(a)) will reimburse each such Selling Shareholder, each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, stockholders, employees, managers and partners and each such Person who controls each such Selling Shareholder and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, each such underwriter and each such Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by any information furnished in writing to the Company by any other party expressly for use therein.

(b) In connection with any registration statement in which a Selling Shareholder is participating, without limitation as to time, each such Selling Shareholder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and employees, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 4.9(b)) will reimburse the Company, its directors, officers and employees and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, in each case solely to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Shareholder for inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Shareholder shall be liable under this Section 4.9(b) for amounts in excess of the net proceeds received by such holder in the offering giving rise to such liability.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.

(d) In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and acknowledging the obligations of the indemnifying party with respect to such

-37-

proceeding, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party and, as a result, a conflict of interest exists or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining one separate legal counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, for all indemnified parties in connection therewith)). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any such assumption by an indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such matter and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party except as provided in the previous sentence. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement (x) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (z) is settled solely for cash for which the indemnified party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall survive the Transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Shareholder shall be required to make a contribution in excess of the amount received by such Selling Shareholder from its sale of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.
