other half of the regular annual retainer, the entire Committee chair retainer
and all meeting fees are paid in cash.

·  
On each November 1st, annual grant of Walgreen Co. stock equal to $80,000
divided by the Walgreen Co. stock price on that date (stock grant is provided
via the Walgreen Co. Nonemployee Director Stock Plan).

·  
The elements of director compensation are subject to the deferral opportunities
described below.

Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board,
the following changes were approved by the Board of Directors on July 12, 2006,
and will go into effect as of September 1, 2006:

·  
Increase annual retainer to $70,000.

·  
Increase additional retainer for Audit Committee chair to $20,000 (additional
retainer for other committee chairs remains at $10,000).

·  
Discontinue all meeting fees.

·  
Increase dollar value of annual stock grant under the Nonemployee Director Stock
Plan to $100,000, beginning with the grant on November 1, 2006.

The following deferral opportunities continue to be available to nonemployee
directors under the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan (no changes as of September
1, 2006):

·  
All cash payments may be deferred into a deferred cash compensation account or
awarded in the form of deferred stock units.

·  
Portion of annual retainer paid in stock and annual stock grant may be awarded
in the form of deferred stock units.

Certain nonemployee directors remain eligible for benefits under discontinued
director compensation arrangements, as follows:

·  
The Walgreen Co. Retirement Plan for Outside Directors applies only with respect
to compensation earned by nonemployee directors for periods of service prior to
November 1, 1996. The current nonemployee directors who earned compensation
under this Plan are Messrs. Howard, Reed and Schwemm and Ms. von Ferstel.  Under
this Plan, the annual benefits payable to a nonemployee director for the shorter
of (i) the number of years the director served as a nonemployee member of the
Board, or (ii) 10 years, were equal to the sum of 80% of the annual Board
retainer in effect on the date of retirement, plus 4% of the director’s final
annual retainer for each year of service as a nonemployee director in excess of
10 years. In no case could the annual benefit payment exceed 100% of the annual
retainer in effect and payable to the nonemployee director on the date of his or
her retirement from the Board of Directors.

·  
Three current nonemployee directors (Messrs. Howard and Schwemm and Ms. von
Ferstel) participated in unfunded deferred compensation plans offered prior to
1993 that permitted a director to defer a portion of his or her retainer fees,
and each is receiving annual payments under such plans.
