SECTION 1.5    Assignment of Contracts and Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Acquired Lease, Permit or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without
the consent of any applicable third party (including any Governmental Entity), would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof, a violation of Law or would in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser Sub (as assignee of the Company)
or the Company (as applicable). Subject to Section 6.2, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit
arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to Purchaser Sub as Purchaser Sub may request; provided, that any costs and expenses arising therefrom or in connection therewith should be borne by the Parties in accordance with
Section 2.2(e). If, on the Closing Date (or the applicable Subsequent Closing Date), any such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted transfer or assignment thereof would be ineffective, a violation of Law or would
adversely affect the rights of Purchaser Sub (as assignee of the Company) thereto or thereunder so that Purchaser Sub would not in fact receive all such rights, the Company and Purchaser Sub will, subject to Section 6.2(a),
cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Purchaser Sub would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with the Purchased Asset, claim, right or benefit in
accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Purchaser Sub, or under which the Company would enforce, for the benefit of Purchaser Sub, and at the expense of Purchaser Sub, any and all of its rights against
a third party thereto (including any Governmental Entity) associated with such Purchased Asset, claim, right or benefit, and the Company would promptly pay to Purchaser Sub when received all monies received by them under any Purchased Asset or any
claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder. To the extent that (i) any Acquired Leases cannot be assigned or transferred to Purchaser Sub as set forth in this Section 1.5 and (ii) Purchaser Sub requests that
the Company subleases such Acquired Leases to Purchaser Sub, Purchaser Sub and the Company will enter into individual subleases for each of such Acquired Leases (as opposed to a “master” sublease covering all such Acquired Leases) on a
fully net basis and on such terms as will generally confer to Purchaser Sub all of the Company’s rights under such Acquired Lease. 

SECTION 1.6    Liabilities at Acquired Stores and Non-Acquired Stores.
To the extent that a Liability relates to (x) an Assumed Liability, on the one hand, and (y) an Excluded Liability or the Company’s retail stores that are not Acquired Stores and/or the Company’s distribution centers that are not
the Distribution Centers (or the Company’s other assets and liabilities that do not constitute Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities), on the other hand, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to agree upon the portion of such Liability,
if any, that constitutes an Assumed Liability pursuant to Section 1.3.

certificate of the Company signed by a duly authorized representative of the Company, with respect to the Acquired Stores to be transferred at such Subsequent Closing, certifying that the representations and warranties contained in
Section 3.17 are true and correct in all respects as of such Subsequent Closing as if made on the applicable Subsequent Closing Date, except for breaches or inaccuracies, as the case may be, as to matters that, individually

sale and purchase of the Distribution Centers (and the assets in the Distribution Centers to the extent Purchased Assets) (the “Distribution Center Closing”) shall occur on the last day of the Transition Period (as defined in the
Transition Service Agreement) or such earlier date as mutually agreed by the Parties (such date, the “Distribution Center Closing Date”), subject to receipt by Purchaser Sub of a certificate of the Company signed by a duly
authorized representative of the Company, with respect to the Distribution Centers (and the Purchased Assets therein), certifying that the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.17 are true and correct in all
respects as of the Distribution Center Closing as if made on the Distribution Center Closing Date, except for breaches or inaccuracies, as the case may be, as to matters that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had a Material Adverse Effect.
Assuming the conditions applicable to the first Subsequent Closing described in this Section 2.1(b) are satisfied, the first Subsequent Closing shall occur within the later of the date that is (i) ninety (90) days of the date of
this Agreement and (ii) ten (10) days after the end of the calendar month in which the Closing occurred.

Scheduled Closing Date (the later of (A), (B) and (C), the “Acquired Store Outside Date”), (ii) if any required Acquired Store Approvals have not been obtained with respect to such Acquired Store as of the applicable Acquired Store
Outside Date and the Acquired Store Approvals outstanding with respect to such Acquired Store include any required consents under any Acquired Lease relating to such Acquired Store, then, at Parent’s election, (A) such Acquired Stores and
all of the related assets and Liabilities shall be retained by the Company and the Purchase Price shall be reduced as set forth on Section 2.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedules (and the amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.7 shall be reduced accordingly) or (B) to the extent mutually agreed among the Parties, such Acquired Store shall be replaced with one or more other stores of the Company, and each such replacement store shall thereafter
be deemed an Acquired Store for purposes hereof and shall be subject to an Acquired Store Scheduled Closing Date as the Parties shall reasonably agree with respect to such replacement store and (iii) if the only Acquired Store Approval

more other stores of the Company, and each such replacement store shall thereafter be deemed an Acquired Store for purposes hereof and shall be subject to an Acquired Store Scheduled Closing Date as the Parties shall reasonably agree with respect to
such replacement store.

Parties complete a Subsequent Closing, except as otherwise agreed upon by Purchaser Sub and the Company, with respect to less than fifty (50) Acquired Stores (other than the final Subsequent Closing) or more than seventy-five (75) Acquired
Stores (it being acknowledged and agreed that in the event that the Subsequent Closing Conditions have been satisfied or waived with respect to less than fifty (50) Acquired Stores, the Parties shall complete the Subsequent Closing with respect
to such Acquired Stores on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the Subsequent Closing Conditions with respect to fifty (50) or more Acquired Stores which have
not yet been conveyed to Purchaser Sub, or, in the case of the final Subsequent Closing, any remaining Acquired Stores that have not previously been conveyed to Purchaser Sub). 

(e)    The transfer of the Acquired Regional Offices (and the Purchased Assets located therein or exclusively related
thereto) (each an “Acquired Regional Office Closing”) shall take place on one or more dates prior to the end of the Transition Services Period (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement), as such date or dates shall be
reasonably agreed by the Parties, to the extent any lease for such Acquired Regional Office has not expired (provided the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to renew) and, for the avoidance of doubt, no portion of the Purchase Price
shall be payable upon the transfer of the Acquired Regional Offices (and the Purchased Assets located therein or exclusively related thereto). 

SECTION 2.2    Purchase Price. 

(a)    The aggregate “Purchase Price” for the Purchased Assets shall be (i) an amount in cash equal
to $5,175,000,000, as may be reduced in accordance with Section 6.28 hereof (the “Base Purchase Price”) plus (ii) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. Section 2.2
of the Company Disclosure Schedules shall set forth an allocation of the Base Purchase Price among each of the Acquired Stores and collectively the Distribution Centers for purposes of Section 2.1(b) and this Section 2.2(a).

 (b)    As soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date,
Parent shall provide the Company with an allocation of the Purchase Price for federal income tax purposes, including any Assumed Liabilities properly included therein among the Purchased Assets and the agreements provided for herein, for federal,
state and local income tax purposes (the “Initial Allocation”). Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Initial Allocation, the Company shall deliver notice (the “Objection Notice”) to Parent, setting
forth in reasonable detail those items in the Initial Allocation that the Company disputes, if any. If prior to the conclusion of such 30-day period, the Company notifies Parent that it will not provide any
Objection Notice or if the Company does not deliver an Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then Parent’s proposed Initial Allocation shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties. Within fifteen
(15) days of the Company’s delivery of the Objection Notice, the Company and Parent shall attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed items and failing such resolution, the unresolved disputed items shall be referred for

  
 12 

 
final binding resolution to the Independent Accounting Firm. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser Sub and the Company. Such
determination by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be (i) in writing, (ii) furnished to Parent and the Company as soon as practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the items in dispute have been referred to
the Independent Accounting Firm), (iii) made in accordance with the principles set forth in this Section 2.2(b) and (iv) non-appealable and incontestable by Parent and the Company. As
used herein, the “Allocation” means the allocation of the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities and other related items among the Purchased Assets and the agreements provided for herein as finally agreed between Parent and the
Company or ultimately determined by the Independent Accounting Firm, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.2(b). The Allocation shall be reasonable and shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, as appropriate). If the Purchase Price is required to be adjusted after the Allocation
is initially determined, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Allocation to reflect any such adjustments, in a manner consistent with the principles utilized in the Allocation. Each of the Parties shall report the federal, state and
local income and other Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated hereby in a manner consistent with the Allocation, including, if applicable, the preparation and filing of Forms 8594 under Section 1060 of the Code (or any successor
form or successor provision of any future tax Law) with their respective federal income Tax Returns for the taxable year which includes the Closing Date, and none of the Parties will take any position inconsistent with the Allocation on any Tax
Return, before any Governmental Entity or in any Proceeding, in each case unless otherwise required under applicable Law or pursuant to a “determination” under Section 1313 of the Code (and any similar provision of state, local or
foreign Law, as appropriate). Each of the Parties shall notify the other if it receives notice that any Governmental Entity proposes any allocation different than that set forth on the Allocation. 

(c)    Each of Parent and Purchaser Sub shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld,
from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under U.S. federal tax Law or any other applicable state, local or foreign tax Law.
To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts (i) shall be promptly remitted by the applicable party to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of
this Agreement as having been paid to the party in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. 

(d)    Any sales, use, gross-receipts, excise, value-added, property, transfer, real estate or land transfer, documentary,
stamp, registration, recording, filing, goods and services or other similar Taxes (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any capital gains or similar taxes, which shall be borne solely by the Company) which may be payable by reason of the sale of
the Purchased Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by the Parties in accordance with Section 2.2(e). Each
Party shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document required to be filed with respect to such Transfer Taxes, and the other Party shall join, and cause any of its applicable Affiliates to join, in the execution of any such
Tax Return if required by Law. If either Party is required by Law to file any such Tax Return, such Party shall 

  
 13 

 
notify the other Party of the amount of the Transfer Tax shown to be due on such Tax Return and the other Party shall reimburse such Party for the amount, if any, of such Transfer Tax to be borne
by the other Party pursuant to Section 2.2(e) by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice to an account or accounts designated by such Party. 

(e)    Any (i) Transfer Taxes, (ii) costs or expenses arising from or incurred by any Party in connection with
the Company’s efforts to obtain consents pursuant to the second sentence of Section 1.5 and (iii) payments made by any Party in connection with any actions such Party takes with respect to obtaining consents to assign the
Acquired Leases in accordance with Section 6.22 (collectively, the “Transfer Expenses”) shall be borne and timely paid (i) by Parent up to an aggregate amount of such Transfer Expenses not to exceed $10 million
and (ii) with respect to any Transfer Expenses in excess of such amount, equally by Parent and the Company.

(i)    an amount of cash equal to the portion of the Purchase Price with respect to the Acquired Stores to

SECTION 2.5    Inventory Valuation. 

(a)    An Inventory Amount with respect to the Closing, a Subsequent Closing or the Distribution Center Closing shall be
calculated as follows: 
 (i)    The parties shall commission WIS International or another mutually
acceptable inventory valuation firm (the “Inventory Service”) to conduct a physical inventory (with a representative of each of the Company and Purchaser Sub present thereat in order to observe such Inventory Audit) at certain
Acquired Stores to be inventoried at the Closing or such Subsequent Closing (which shall be such Acquired Stores as are mutually agreed in good faith by the Company and Purchaser Sub prior to the Closing Date (or the applicable Subsequent Closing
Date)) (such Acquired Stores so sampled are collectively referred to as the “Sampled Locations”), as described herein (each, an “Inventory Audit”). The Inventory Service shall also conduct a physical inventory (with
a representative of each of the Company and Purchaser Sub present thereat in order to observe such Inventory Audit) at each Distribution Center prior to the Distribution Center Closing Date. The Inventory Audits shall be performed within the ten
(10) days prior to the Closing Date or applicable Subsequent Closing Date or Distribution Center Closing Date. The Inventory Audits will be performed as of the close of business at each selected location on the date of its Inventory Audit. In
the case of a 24-hour store, the Inventory Audit will be performed as of 11:59 p.m. store time. The 

  
 16 

 
Inventory Audits will be performed in accordance with the inventory count and valuation procedures set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Inventory Procedures”). The
fees and expenses of the Inventory Service shall be borne equally by Purchaser Sub and the Company. The Inventory Service shall conduct a physical inventory of at least 20% of the aggregate number of Acquired Stores being transferred at the Closing
and any applicable Subsequent Closing. 
 (ii)    The Inventory Service will calculate the aggregate
count of Inventory counted by it at each Sampled Location with respect to the Closing or the applicable Subsequent Closing and applicable Inventory in the Distribution Centers with respect to the Distribution Center Closing in accordance with the
Inventory Procedures (such count with respect to each Sampled Location and the Distribution Centers, the “Retail Inventory Value”). If the Book to Physical Adjustment Ratio with respect to the Sampled Locations with respect to the
Closing or the applicable Subsequent Closing is greater than or equal to 5% (based on a physical inventory valuation report), the Inventory Service will conduct an Inventory Audit (an “Additional Inventory Audit”) of an additional
number of Acquired Stores selected by the Company and confirmed by Purchaser Sub (each such additional Acquired Store thereafter deemed to be a Sampled Location for purposes of this Section 2.5). The Inventory Service shall
conduct an Additional Inventory Audit of that number of Acquired Stores being transferred at the Closing and any applicable Subsequent Closing as may be mutually agreed by Purchaser Sub and the Company. 

(b)    At the conclusion of each Inventory Audit and Additional Inventory Audit, (i) the Inventory Service shall
provide each of the Company, Purchaser Sub and Purchaser Sub’s financing sources with a physical inventory valuation report in the form attached hereto as Section 2.5(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules setting
forth the Inventory Amount with respect to the Acquired Stores and Distribution Centers to be transferred as of the Closing Date, applicable Subsequent Closing Date or Distribution Center Closing Date (each, an “Inventory
Statement”), which such report shall be signed by each of Purchaser Sub and the Company and (ii) the Inventory Service shall provide each of the Company and Purchaser Sub prior to each of the Closing, each Subsequent Closing and to the
extent applicable to the Inventory to be transferred thereat, the Distribution Center Closing, a report as to the retail and cost value of the applicable Inventory to be transferred as of such date (including in each case shown by front end,
pharmacy, cigarettes and liquor) and prescription volume, in each case as of the most recent month ended prior to such date in form and substance consistent with the Company’s past practice.

SECTION 2.6    Prorations. 

(a)    As of the Closing Date, each Subsequent Closing Date, the Distribution Center Closing Date and each Acquired
Regional Office Closing Date (as applicable), all items set forth on Section 2.6 of the Company Disclosure Schedules, and all other items for which proration is necessary, shall be prorated as of the Closing, such
Subsequent Closing or Distribution Center Closing (collectively, the “Prorated Charges”). On a monthly basis, the Company shall calculate the applicable Prorated Charges and deliver a notice of payment due to the Buyer within
fifteen (15) Business Days of the end of each month with respect to the 

  
 17 

 
applicable Closing, Subsequent Closings and/or Distribution Center Closing that occurred during such month. Purchaser Sub shall pay to the Company the amount set forth on such notice of payment
within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice of payment. Whenever possible, such prorations shall be based on actual, current payments by the Company or its Affiliates and to the extent such actual amounts are not available, such
prorations shall be estimated as of the Closing, such Subsequent Closing and Distribution Center Closing (as applicable) based on actual amounts for the most recent comparable billing period. When the actual amounts become known, such prorations
shall be recalculated by Purchaser Sub and the Company, and Purchaser Sub or the Company, as the case may be, promptly (but not later than ten (10) Business Days after notice of payment due) shall make any additional payment or refund so that
the correct prorated amount is paid by each of Purchaser Sub and the Company. 
 (b)    Percentage rent payable under
each Acquired Lease and lease for each Acquired Regional Office, to the extent applicable, shall be prorated at the end of the current lease year for each Acquired Lease in accordance with the terms of the applicable Acquired Lease, and otherwise
the percentage rent payable, if any, shall be paid by Purchaser Sub when due and the Company shall promptly reimburse Purchaser Sub a portion thereof determined by, in the case of an Acquired Lease with respect to an Acquired Store, multiplying
(A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Company’s or its Affiliates’ gross annual sales at such Acquired Store from the first day of such lease year to (and excluding) the Closing Date or the applicable Subsequent
Closing Date (as applicable), and the denominator of which is the sum of Purchaser Sub’s and its Affiliates’ and the Company’s and its Affiliates’ gross annual sales at such Acquired Store for the entire lease year, times
(B) the amount of percentage rent actually due under the Acquired Lease for such Acquired Store. The Company, upon the request of Purchaser Sub, shall promptly provide Purchaser Sub with such information as Purchaser Sub shall be required to
submit to landlords under the Acquired Leases in connection with the payment of percentage rent with respect to the Acquired Stores. 

(c)    Purchaser Sub and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to prorations. In
the event Purchaser Sub and the Company are unable to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) Business Days after the date such dispute arose, Purchaser Sub and the Company shall submit the items remaining for resolution in writing, together
with such written evidence as Purchaser Sub or the Company may elect to include, to an Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm shall, within twenty (20) Business Days of such submission, resolve any differences between
Purchaser Sub and the Company and such resolution shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final, binding and conclusive upon each of the Parties. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser
Sub and the Company. 
 (d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including this
Section 2.6, all real property, personal property and similar ad valorem Taxes, if any, levied with respect to the Purchased Assets with respect to a taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date and ending after
the Closing Date (collectively, the “Apportioned Taxes”) shall be apportioned between the Company and Parent based on the number of days of such taxable period before and including the Closing Date (such portion of such taxable
period, the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and the number of days of such taxable period after the Closing Date (such portion of such taxable period, the “Post-Closing Tax
Period”). The Company shall be 

  
 18 

 
responsible for the proportionate amount of such Apportioned Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and such amount shall be an Excluded
Liability, and Parent and Purchaser Sub shall be responsible for the proportionate amount of such Apportioned Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period and such amount shall be an Assumed Liability. Any Apportioned Taxes shall be
timely paid, and all applicable Tax Returns shall be timely filed, as provided by applicable Law. The paying Party (including through the use of any prepayment or credit or carryforward) shall be entitled to reimbursement from the non-paying Party for the non-paying Party’s portion of the Apportioned Taxes in accordance with this Section 2.6(d). Upon payment (or use of a prepayment or
credit or carryforward) of any such Apportioned Taxes, the paying Party shall present a statement to the non-paying Party setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the paying Party is entitled under
this Section 2.6(d), together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount to be reimbursed. The non-paying Party shall make such reimbursement by wire transfer
in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such statement to an account designated by the paying Party. The provisions of this Section 2.6(d) shall survive the Closing Date until the expiration of the
statute of limitations applicable to any such Apportioned Tax. 
 SECTION 2.7    Purchased Cash;
Aggregate Inventory Amount Adjustment. 
 (a)    No later than three (3) Business Days following the Closing
Date, Purchaser Sub shall deliver to the Company an amount of cash equal to the Purchased Cash with respect to the Acquired Stores transferred on the Closing Date, with a receipt related thereto. No later than three (3) Business Days following
each such Subsequent Closing Date, Purchaser Sub shall deliver to the Company an amount of cash equal to the Purchased Cash with respect to the Acquired Stores transferred on such Subsequent Closing, together with a receipt related thereto. 

(b)    No later than three (3) Business Days following the final Subsequent Closing Date, either (i) Purchaser
Sub shall deliver to the Company an amount of cash equal to the amount, if any, by which the Aggregate Inventory Amount is greater than $1,558,000,000 or (ii) the Company shall deliver to Purchaser Sub an amount, if any, by which the Aggregate
Inventory Amount is less than $1,482,000,000. Section 2.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules sets forth an illustrative example of the inventory valuation process, for reference purposes only. 

(c)    No later than three (3) Business Days following the Distribution Center Closing Date, either
(i) Purchaser Sub shall deliver to the Company an amount of cash equal to amount, if any, by which the Distribution Center Inventory Amount is greater than $155,000,000 or (ii) the Company shall deliver to Purchaser Sub an amount, if any,
by which the Distribution Center Inventory Amount is less than $140,000,000. 
 (d)    Payments pursuant to this
Section 2.7 and Article IX shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for federal income tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

subsidiaries with respect to the Purchased Assets has been, and is being, conducted in compliance with all Laws applicable to the conduct of business at the Acquired Stores and the Distribution Centers by it or the Purchased Assets, except for such
failures in compliance that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company and its subsidiaries have not received any written notice or, to the Company’s knowledge, any
other communication of any non-compliance with any such Laws with respect to the Purchased Assets, except for any such non-compliance that would not, individually or in

 21 

 (b)    Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has all governmental
qualifications, registrations, filings, privileges, franchises, licenses, permits, approvals or authorizations, including Pharmacy Approvals that are necessary for, or primarily used in, or related to the ownership or operation of business at the
Acquired Stores or the Distribution Centers as conducted on the date of this Agreement (“Permits”) necessary for it to own and operate the Purchased Assets, as owned and operated as of the date hereof, except where the failure to
have such Permit would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Purchased Assets, taken as a whole (collectively, “Material Permits”). As of the date of this Agreement, all such Permits are
in full force and effect, except where the failure to be in full force and effect would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no actions pending

case, for any such violation that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Purchased Assets, taken as a whole. 

SECTION 3.5    Financial Statements; Undisclosed Liabilities. Section 3.5 of the

Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

consents, approvals, authorizations and Permits contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of subsection (b) below have been obtained, and all filings and notifications described in such clauses of subsection (b) below have been made and

 33 

 
properties or (iii) result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default (or an event, which with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) or result in the loss of a
benefit to which Parent, Purchaser Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries are entitled under, give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, adverse amendment or acceleration of, require notice or consent under, or result in the creation
of a Lien (except a Permitted Lien) on any of the material assets or properties of Parent, Purchaser Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries pursuant to, any Contract to which Parent or Purchaser Sub, or any of their subsidiaries is a party or
by which Parent or Purchaser Sub or any of their subsidiaries or its or their respective assets or properties are bound, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for any such conflict, violation, Lien, breach, default, loss, right,

contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

SECTION 4.4    Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there are no Proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against Parent or Purchaser Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries, other than any such Proceeding that would not, individually or in the aggregate with other such Proceedings, reasonably be expected

of its subsidiaries nor any of their respective material assets or properties is or are subject to any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or regulatory restriction (other than those of general application that apply to similarly situated

promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer, in each case, to the extent legally required) or from making any other disclosure to
stockholders, (2) providing access to its properties, books and records and providing any confidential or non-public information or data (A) during the

hereof and was not initiated, solicited, encouraged or facilitated in, and did not otherwise result from a, material violation of this Section 6.1(b) or (B) following the
Non-Solicitation Period, without limitation, if, in the case of each of (1), (2) or (3), during the Non-Solicitation Period, the Company Board shall have determined in
good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action or make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law or
following the Non-Solicitation Period, without limitation. 

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, at any time during the Non-Solicitation Period the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, in response to a bona fide Acquisition Proposal that was made after the date hereof and
was not initiated, solicited, encouraged or facilitated in, and did not otherwise result from a, material violation of this Section 6.1(b), that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent
with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the 

  
 40 

 
Company or the Company Board may (and may resolve or agree to) enter into a definitive merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar written agreement relating to any Acquisition
Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), subject to clauses (iv) and (v) below. 

(iv)    During the Non-Solicitation Period, the terms of any
Alternative Acquisition Agreement, and following the Non-Solicitation Period until the end of the Transition Period (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement), any definitive agreement relating to an
Acquisition Proposal, in each case shall provide that the Person or group making such Acquisition Proposal shall, upon consummation of such agreement, assume (including by operation of Law, if applicable) any remaining obligations of the Company
under this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement and the Transitional Trademark License Agreement. 

(v)    The Company will not be entitled to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement or a definitive

including proposed agreements that are reasonably relevant to Parent) during the period starting on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to, and ending on the first (1st) Business Day following the execution of any such Alternative Acquisition Agreement or definitive agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal, as applicable (the “Notice Period”).

 (vi)    The Company agrees to notify Parent promptly if it determines during the Notice Period not to
enter into the Alternative Acquisition Agreement referred to in the Company Notice. Any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment to the terms and conditions of a proposed Alternative Acquisition Agreement that are reasonably
relevant to Parent will be deemed to be a new proposal or proposed Alternative Acquisition Agreement for purposes of this Section 6.1(b) requiring a new Company Notice and an additional Notice Period; provided,
however, that such additional Notice Period shall expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately following the day on which the Company delivers such new Company Notice (it being understood and agreed
that in no event shall any such additional two (2) Business Day Notice Period be deemed to shorten the initial Notice Period). 

(vii)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or
offer (including a tender offer or exchange offer) from any Person or group of Persons (other than Parent or Merger Sub) relating to (A) any merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, recapitalization, reorganization, share exchange,

subsidiary of the Company) or businesses that constitute all or substantially all of the consolidated revenues, net income

or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after taking into account the effect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or fifty percent (50%) or more of the
total voting power of the equity securities of the Company. 
 SECTION 6.2    Further Action; Efforts. 

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 6.2(d) and
Section 6.2(e), each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in taking or causing to be taken, all actions and to use its reasonable best efforts to

contemplated by this Agreement (including Pharmacy Approvals), and to assist and cooperate with the other party in connection with the foregoing; provided, that the Company shall have no obligation to pay any fee to any third party for the
purpose of obtaining any such Consent, or pay any costs and expenses of any third party resulting from the process of obtaining such Consent. Each of Parent and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to give all notices to, and
obtain all consents from, all landlords party to the Acquired Leases, and the Parties shall bear the costs of any payments made to landlords party to the Acquired Leases in accordance with Section 2.2(e). Upon request from the Company,
Parent agrees to provide a guarantee of Purchaser Sub’s obligations under any or all of the Acquired Leases in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the landlord party to such Acquired Lease and the Company. Parent and Purchaser Sub
shall collectively be solely responsible for all filing fees and other costs associated with such requests and applications, including attorney fees and other costs incurred by Parent and Purchaser Sub in connection with the preparation of such
requests and applications. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries to, engage in, publicly propose or enter into any transaction that would reasonably be expected to (x) result in any material delay in the obtaining

(whether by merger, consolidation, business combination or otherwise) of the assets or equity interests of any Person that does not engage in commerce or affect commerce in the U.S. or (iii) engage in, consummate or enter into an Alternative
Acquisition Proposal, or following the Non-Solicitation Period, engage in, enter into or consummate a definitive agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal, in each case, in accordance with

of any Person involving the acquisition of Retail Pharmacies in the U.S., provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of Parent or its Affiliates or subsidiaries to (i) engage in (A) “buy and operate”
acquisitions involving acquisitions of ten (10) or fewer Retail Pharmacies in one transaction or a series of related transactions, or (B) “file buy” acquisitions, in the case of clauses (A) and (B), in the ordinary course of

and use its respective reasonable best efforts in the most expeditious manner practicable to (i) contest, resist, oppose and resolve any such Proceeding; and (ii) avoid the entry of or have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Legal

replace up to 150 stores included within the Acquired Stores with other stores of the Company, which stores are mutually agreed upon in good faith by the Company and Parent, and each such replacement store shall thereafter be deemed an Acquired
Store for purposes hereof and shall be subject to an Acquired Store Scheduled Closing Date as the Parties shall reasonably agree with respect to such replacement store (the “Swap Remedy”), and to the extent such stores are not
replaced, to exclude up to 150 stores from the Acquired Stores (and the Purchase Price shall be reduced as set forth on Section 2.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedules (and the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be
reduced accordingly)) and provided, further, in the event that, if following Parent and the Company first attempting to utilize the Swap Remedy, it is necessary for the Company to retain certain Acquired Stores (not to exceed an amount of
stores equal to 150 minus the number of stores that were replaced in the Swap Remedy) in order for the Parties to obtain any required Consent from any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent, in
consultation with the Company, shall, sufficiently in advance of the End Date to permit the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the End Date, and no later than within four (4) months from the date of this Agreement,
designate such Acquired Stores, and such designated Acquired Stores and all of the related assets shall be retained by the Company and the Purchase Price shall be reduced as set forth on Section 2.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedules
(and the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be reduced accordingly). 
 (e)    Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to the matters covered in this Section 6.2, it is agreed that Parent and the Company shall jointly make all strategic decisions and jointly participate in all discussions,

including determining the strategy for contesting, litigating or otherwise responding to objections to, or Proceedings challenging, the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Company and Parent shall not, and
shall not permit any of their respective Representatives to, make any offer, acceptance or counter offer to or otherwise engage in negotiations or discussions with any Governmental Entity with respect to any proposed settlement, consent decree,
commitment or remedy or, in the event of litigation, discovery, admissibility of evidence, timing or scheduling, except as specifically requested by or agreed with such other Party. 

(f)    Each of Parent and the Company shall provide commercially reasonable cooperation and assistance to Parent and its
Affiliates and Representatives with Parent’s timely preparation and submission of any request or application for any consent or approval required of Parent, including the Pharmacy Approvals and any consent or approval with respect to any
Government Program.

received from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or from any other Person, in each case alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) any Proceedings commenced or, to the Company’s or Parent’s knowledge, respectively, threatened, which relate to the transactions contemplated hereby, in each
case of clauses (a) and (b) other than with respect to Antitrust Laws, which are the subject of Section 6.2; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this

shall not be liable for or pay Transfer Taxes described in Section 2.2(d) for which Parent is responsible. Parent shall be liable for and shall pay all Taxes imposed with respect to the conduct of the business of the Acquired Stores or
the ownership or use of the Purchased Assets after the Closing (or each Subsequent Closing Date or Distribution Center Closing, as applicable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.4, the provisions of

paying such Tax shall give notice to the other party of the Tax payable and the portion which is the liability of each party, although failure to do so will not relieve the other party from its liability hereunder. 

(c)    Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing upon receipt by Parent or any of its Affiliates of notice of
any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits, examinations or assessments which may materially affect the amount of any Tax which is, in whole or in part, an Excluded Liability; provided, however, that the
failure to promptly give such notice to the Company shall not affect the rights of Parent or any of its Affiliates to indemnification hereunder except to the extent the Company has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Company
shall have the sole right to control any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to any Tax which is wholly an Excluded Liability and is not reasonably expected to result in any liability of Parent or any Affiliate for which Parent
or such Affiliate would not be fully indemnified pursuant to this Agreement, and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense; provided, that the Company shall not settle any such audit or proceeding without the prior written consent of
Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. With respect to any other such audit or proceeding in respect of Taxes which are, in whole or in part, an Excluded Liability, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates
shall settle such audit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Center Closing, the Distribution Center Closing), upon reasonable prior written notice, and except as determined in good faith to be appropriate to ensure compliance with any applicable Laws and subject to any applicable privileges (including the

in which the restrictions of this clause would apply), the Company shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates and Representatives to (i) afford the Representatives of Parent reasonable access, during normal business

its Affiliates whose assistance, expertise, testimony, notes and recollections or presence may be reasonably necessary to assist Parent, its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives in connection with its reasonable inquiries, including
the presence of such persons as witnesses in hearings or trials for such purposes; provided, however, that such investigation shall not unreasonably interfere with any of the businesses or operations of the Company or any of its

relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such auditors or accountants. If so requested by the Company, Parent shall enter into a customary joint defense agreement with the Company with respect to any
information to be provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.6(a).

thereto, (C) make available to the Representatives of the other Party and its Affiliates, during normal business hours, those employees of such Party and its Affiliates whose assistance, expertise, testimony, notes and recollections or presence
may be reasonably necessary to assist the other Party, its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives in connection with its reasonable inquiries, including the presence of such persons as witnesses in hearings or trials for such purposes

and records; provided, however, that such investigation shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of such Party or any of its Affiliates; provided, further, that the auditors and accountants of each
Party or its Affiliates shall not be obligated to make any work papers available to any Person except in accordance with such auditors’ and accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such Person has signed a customary

 SECTION 6.11    Destruction of Purchased Assets; Store Removal.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any of the Acquired Stores and/or Distribution Centers is rendered unsaleable or unusable due to acts of God, including earthquakes, fire, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, tsunami, or other natural

case within thirty (30) days of such act of God), restore such Acquired Stores and/or such Distribution Centers to usable or salable condition substantially equivalent to the condition of such Acquired Store or such Distribution Centers
immediately prior to such act of God (at the Company’s cost). If the Company restores such Acquired Store or Distribution Center, then such Acquired Stores and/or such Distribution Center shall be sold to Parent in accordance with and subject

arrangement, and “Purchased Assets” shall be deemed to be modified to exclude any facility that was to be “Purchased Assets” because such facility was an Acquired Store, and “Assumed Liabilities” shall be deemed to be
modified to exclude any Liabilities that were to be “Assumed Liabilities” because such facility was an Acquired Store.

Company’s retail stores that are not Acquired Stores, in a manner intended to cause an adverse effect to the relationship between such retail stores of the Company that are not Acquired Store and such client or customer, or to divert such
client’s or customer’s business from any of the Company’s retail stores that are not Acquired Stores. In addition, during the Restricted Period, Parent and Purchaser Sub shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates to,

threatened breach of this Section 6.12 would give rise to irreparable harm to the other Parties hereto, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agree that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by
a Party of any such obligations, the other Parties shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to such other Parties in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining
order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

following such date (the “Census Start Date”); provided, further, that with respect to any Inactive Employee, any offer of employment or communication of transfer of employment shall be made with a commencement date of
the date that such employee actively returns to work in accordance with the applicable leave policy within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date, Subsequent Closing Date or Distribution Center Closing Date, as applicable, and if such Inactive
Employee does not so return within twelve (12) months, then the offer or communication of transfer shall expire or become invalid, as applicable, unless required by Law to remain open for a longer period; provided, further, that
the Employee Census shall state each Business Employee’s name, title, current service credit with the Company and its Affiliates, classification, salary or pay rate, short-term and long-term bonus eligibility, status with respect to whether he
or she is currently an Inactive Employee (and the reason such Business Employee is in Inactive Employee status) and each Employee Plan for which such Business Employee is then eligible. Each offer of employment or transfer of employment shall be for
a substantially comparable position held by such Business Employee (subject to the requirements of any applicable collective bargaining agreement), and at the same location(s) at which such Business Employee worked while employed with the Company or
an Affiliate of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and Purchaser Sub shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless with respect to any Losses related to any claim or threatened claim by or on behalf of any Excluded Employees arising
out of Purchaser or Purchaser Sub’s failure to offer employment to or hire any such Excluded Employee or any claim for Excluded Employee Severance; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Purchaser Sub shall not indemnify
and hold the Company harmless with respect to any Losses related to a claim for compensation or benefits arising under any compensation or benefit plan, agreement or arrangement maintained by the Company or its Affiliates, other than Excluded
Employee Severance. The Company shall deliver a census summary (which shall comply with Section 6.14(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules) (the “Census Summary”) on or prior to date of this Agreement,
which Census Summary shall be as of a date not more than ten (10) days prior to the date of this Agreement. The Employee Census shall first be delivered to Purchaser Sub on the applicable Employee Data Trigger Date and shall

  
 54 

 
be updated by the Company no earlier than three (3) weeks prior to the Census Start Date for any Business Employee and with respect to any Business Employee added to the Employee Census
pursuant to such an update, Purchaser Sub shall make an offer of employment or communicate a transfer of employment as soon as practicable thereafter but no later than the Census Start Date. 

(b)    Purchaser Sub and its Affiliates shall use reasonable efforts to transfer the work visa of Transferred Employees
and, as applicable, shall employ those Transferred Employees who are foreign nationals working in the United States in non-immigrant status and those Transferred Employees for whom there are pending or
approved I-140 immigrant petitions as of the Closing Date (collectively, the “Foreign National Employees”), under terms and conditions such that Purchaser Sub and its Affiliates, as
applicable, qualify as a “successor employer” under applicable United States immigration laws effective as of the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, 8 U.S.C. § 1184(c)(10). Purchaser Sub and its Affiliates agree to assume
all immigration-related liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such Foreign National Employees that arise following the Closing. The Company shall provide to Purchaser Sub a schedule of Foreign National Employees and applicable information
for Purchaser Sub and its Affiliates to comply with its responsibilities pursuant to this Section 6.14(b) on the applicable Employee Data Trigger Date; provided, that from the date of this Agreement until the
Closing, the Company, Purchaser Sub and their Affiliates shall cooperate to effect the actions set forth in this Section 6.14(b). 

(c)    Each Business Employee that accepts an offer of employment from Purchaser Sub or whose employment is transferred
effective at his or her Census Start Date or, with respect to an Inactive Employee, upon commencement of employment on the terms set forth in Section 6.14(a) (the “Inactive Employee Transfer Date”)
(collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Employment Start Date”) shall be referred to as a “Transferred Employee”. The employment by Purchaser Sub of a Transferred Employee shall be on an employment “at-will” basis (except as required under any collective bargaining agreement). For a period beginning on the first Subsequent Closing Date and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the first
Subsequent Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”), Purchaser Sub shall provide, or shall cause its Affiliates to provide, to each Transferred Employee that is a non-Union-Represented
Business Employee (solely during any period a Transferred Employee is employed by Purchaser Sub during such twelve (12) month period), (A) an annual base salary or wage rate and target annual incentive opportunities that are no less favorable
in the aggregate than those provided by the Company or one of its Affiliates immediately prior to the Employment Start Date and (B) employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those that were provided to such
Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Employment Start Date (taking into account only the employee benefits listed under the “Pension Plans,” “401(k) Plans” and “Health and Welfare and Other Plans” headings of
Section 3.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules), taking into account prior service with the Company or its Affiliates and to Purchaser Sub’s right to change employee contribution rates in the ordinary course of business
consistent with coverage cost changes as a result of contract cost negotiation with vendors (which changes apply to employees of Purchase Sub and its Affiliates other than the Transferred Employees) (a
“Non-Union Employee Offer”). With respect to each Transferred Employee that is a Union-Represented Business Employee, for a period beginning on the first Subsequent Closing Date and ending on
the twelve (12) month anniversary of the first Subsequent Closing Date, Purchaser Sub shall provide, or shall cause its Affiliates to provide, compensation and 

  
 55 

 
employee benefits in accordance with the terms of the applicable collective bargaining agreement in effect as of the first Subsequent Closing Date; provided, that as of the effective date
of a successor collective bargaining agreement applicable to such Transferred Employee, Purchaser Sub shall instead provide, or cause its Affiliates to provide, compensation and employee benefits in accordance with the terms of such applicable
successor collective bargaining agreement (a “Union Employee Offer, and each Union Employee Offer and Non-Union Employee Offer, together with the requirements set forth in
Section 6.14(a), a “Qualifying Offer”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.14 shall be construed as requiring Purchaser Sub or its Affiliates to (x) provide
benefits under a defined benefit pension plan or (y) provide any specified level of compensation or benefits to a Transferred Employee following the Continuation Period, regardless of whether the Employment Start Date occurs on or after the
Closing Date. Except for Excluded Employee Severance, the Company shall be responsible for (and Purchaser Sub shall have no responsibility) to pay any severance pay or benefits claimed to be owed to its employees as a result of the transactions that
are the subject of the Transaction Agreements; provided, that Purchaser Sub has offered employment to, or transferred the employment of, Business Employees in accordance with this Section 6.14. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, during the Continuation Period, Purchaser Sub shall provide, or shall cause its Affiliates to provide, severance payments and benefits to each Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated during such period that
are no less favorable than those severance and benefits set forth in Section 6.14(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedules. 

(d)    Subject, and in addition, to the requirements imposed by applicable Law, from and after the Employment Start Date,
each Transferred Employee shall be eligible to participate in the plans or programs maintained, sponsored, adopted or contributed to by Purchaser Sub or its Affiliates that provide medical, dental, vision care, life insurance, disability, vacation,
tuition reimbursement, qualified transportation fringe benefits and other welfare benefits, as applicable, on substantially the same basis as similarly situated employees of Purchaser Sub and its Affiliates. Subject, and in addition, to the
requirements imposed by applicable Law, and except to the extent necessary to avoid duplication of benefits, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting, accrual of and entitlement to benefits (but not for accrual of or
entitlement to pension benefits, post-employment or retiree welfare benefits, special or early retirement programs or window separation program), service with the Company or its Affiliates (or predecessor employers to the extent the Company provides
or has recognized past service credit) shall be treated as service with Purchaser Sub. Purchaser Sub shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to: (i) waive any limitation on health and welfare coverage of such Transferred Employees due to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, active employment requirements, and requirements to show evidence of good health under any applicable health and welfare plan of Purchaser Sub or any of its Affiliates to
the extent such Transferred Employees were covered under a similar benefit plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates and (ii) credit each such Transferred Employee with all deductible payments,
co-payments and co-insurance paid by such employee under any medical plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates prior to the Employment Start Date during the plan year
in which the Employment Start Date occurs for the purpose of determining the extent to which any such employee has satisfied any applicable deductible and whether such employee has reached the out-of-pocket maximum under any benefit plan of Purchaser Sub or any of its Affiliate for such year. 

  
 56 

 (e)    Effective as of the last day of the month in which an Employment Start
Date occurs, a Transferred Employee shall no longer be eligible to contribute to any Employee Plan that is a flexible spending account plan except as otherwise provided by and in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1986 (“COBRA”) (such accounts, “Company FSA” and such participants in the Company FSA, “FSA Participants”). Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser Sub or one of its Affiliates shall maintain a
flexible spending account plan (the “Purchaser FSA”) that shall (i) permit participation as of the first day of the month immediately following an Employment Start Date for FSA Participants commencing employment with Purchaser
Sub or its Affiliates on such date and (ii) accept for reimbursement any claims related to the Company FSA plan year in which the Employment Start Date occurs and eligible for reimbursement on the basis of participant elections initially made
under the Company FSA, to the extent such claims have not been previously reimbursed by the Company or its Affiliates. The salary reduction election of an FSA Participant under the Company FSA will be continued by the Purchaser FSA for the remainder
of the Purchaser FSA plan year following an Employment Start Date (subject to limitations under applicable Law). The Company shall provide to Purchaser Sub as soon as administratively feasible following a Closing Date, Subsequent Closing Date or
Distribution Center Closing Date, as applicable, a schedule setting forth the relevant FSA Participants and the amount each FSA Participant has elected to contribute to the Company FSA for the current Company FSA plan year and the amount reimbursed
by the Company FSA to the FSA Participant (or eligible dependent) (the “FSA Balances”). To the extent the FSA Balances in the aggregate are positive, the Company shall make a payment to Purchaser Sub equal to the aggregate FSA
Balances by the thirtieth (30th) Business Day following the Closing Date, Subsequent Closing Date or Distribution Center Closing Date, as applicable. To the extent the FSA Balances in the aggregate are negative, Buyer shall make a payment to the
Company equal to the aggregate negative FSA Balances by the thirtieth (30th) Business Day following the Closing Date, Subsequent Closing Date or Distribution Center Closing Date, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and
Purchaser Sub agree to make reasonable adjustments to the terms of this Section 6.14(e) as necessary to account for the difference in plan year end dates of the Company FSA and Purchaser FSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Transferred Employee who elects COBRA continuation coverage with respect to such person’s flexible spending account under the Company FSA shall be considered an FSA Participant, and any such person’s flexible spending account balance
shall not be an FSA Balance. 
 (f)    Purchaser Sub shall permit each Transferred Employee participating in the
Employee Plan that is a defined contribution plan with a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Company 401(k) Plan”) to effect, and Purchaser Sub agrees to cause its (or
its Affiliate’s) defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Purchaser Sub 401(k) Plan”) to accept, in accordance with
requirements of Law, a “direct rollover” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, including plan loans) of his or her account balances (including earnings thereon through the date of transfer and any promissory note
evidencing an outstanding loan but excluding any loans in default) under the Company 401(k) Plan if such rollover to the Purchaser Sub 401(k) Plan is elected in accordance with applicable Law by such Transferred Employee. 

  
 57 

 (g)    For purposes of payroll taxes with respect to Transferred Employees,
the Company and Purchaser Sub, and their respective Affiliates, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to treat the transaction contemplated herein as a transaction described in Treasury Regulation Sections
31.3121(a)(1)-1(b)(2), and the Parties further agree to implement this treatment by utilizing solely Section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR
PREDECESSORS AND SUCCESSORS. 
 (h)    Purchaser Sub and its Affiliates shall be responsible for compliance with the
WARN Act with respect to any Transferred Employee terminated after the Closing Date or terminated due to Purchaser Sub’s failure to provide a Qualifying Offer. 

(i)    As soon as administratively practicable following each Employment Start Date, and except as prohibited by
applicable Law or the terms of any applicable collective bargaining agreement, the Company shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, pay all amounts in respect of each Transferred Employee’s accrued wages, including vacation and paid time off
balances. 
 (j)    Purchaser Sub acknowledges its bargaining obligations with any labor organization or other employee
representative body applicable to any Business Employee. Neither the Purchaser Sub nor any of its Affiliates shall assume any CBA, except that Purchaser Sub or one of its Affiliates shall assume the continuing obligations under the last, best and
final offer to 1199SEIU, implemented by the Company as of September 11, 2016 and execute the “Assumption Agreement” in the form annexed to the 1199SEIU CBA with respect to the applicable Acquired Stores on or prior to the applicable
Subsequent Closing Dates, and otherwise comply with applicable Law with respect to its obligations to 1199SEIU. 

(k)    In respect of each of the Transferred Employees, the Company hereby agrees, for themselves and on behalf of each of
their respective Affiliates, to waive and forever discharge any non-compete obligation or restriction that would limit such Transferred Employee’s ability to perform services to Purchaser Sub or its
Affiliates. 
 (l)    The Company may, in its discretion, establish a cash-based retention program to incentivize
continued performance among those Company employees who are providing services to Purchaser Sub following the Closing in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement, the terms of which are set forth on
Section 10.5(hhh) of the Company Disclosure Schedules (the “Retention Program”). Participants shall be selected at the sole discretion of the Company. Purchaser Sub agrees to reimburse, promptly, following
notice of payment made, which notices may be delivered over time as retention payments are made, the Company in an amount up to $25 million in the aggregate in respect of amounts that become payable under the Retention Program; provided,
that if the Closing does not occur, then Purchaser Sub shall not be liable for any amounts that may become payable under the Retention Program, except as provided in Section 8.2(b). 

(m)    The Company, Purchaser Sub and their respective affiliates shall reasonably cooperate in communications with
Business Employees with respect to employment and employment benefit matters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As reasonably requested by the Purchaser Sub, the Company shall permit the

  
 58 

 
Purchaser Sub to conduct interviews, meetings, information sessions and presentations with Business Employees and to distribute transitional information and communications relating to employment
and employment benefit matters to Business Employees. Purchaser Sub shall keep the Company reasonably informed as to the status of any interviews, meetings or offers of employment contemplated by Section 6.6(a)(ii) and this
Section 6.14(m). Following the date of this Agreement, the Company, Purchaser Sub and their respective affiliates shall reasonably cooperate to determine the list of Excluded Employees. 

(n)    For purposes of this Agreement, the “Employee Data Trigger Date” means with respect to Business
Employees being transferred (i) at the Closing, the earlier of the date of receipt of Antitrust Approval and the date that is at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (ii) at the first Subsequent Closing, the earlier
of the date of receipt of Antitrust Approval and the date that is no later than thirty (30) Business Days prior to the first Subsequent Closing Date and (iii) after the first Subsequent Closing, the date that is no later than the date of
receipt of Antitrust Approval. 
 SECTION 6.15    Obligations Pertaining to Multiemployer Plans. The Company
and Purchaser Sub intend that no complete or partial withdrawal of the Company and its Affiliates under Section 4203 or 4205 of ERISA from any Multiemployer Plan shall occur because of the consummation of Purchaser Sub’s acquisition of the
Acquired Stores contemplated by this Agreement, by reason of compliance with all of the applicable requirements of Section 4204 of ERISA. Purchaser Sub and the Company agree to comply with the provisions of Section 4204 of ERISA as
follows: 
 (a)    To the extent needed to comply with Section 4204(a)(1)(A) of ERISA, Purchaser Sub shall assume
the obligation to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan with respect to the Acquired Stores for substantially the same number of contribution base units (as defined in Section 4001(a)(11) of ERISA) for which the Company and its Affiliates had an
obligation to contribute to such Multiemployer Plan in respect of the Acquired Stores. 
 (b)    Unless an exemption or
variance applies, Purchaser Sub shall, at Purchaser Sub’s sole cost and expense, provide to the Multiemployer Plan for the first plan year beginning after the Closing Date (and/or each Subsequent Closing Date), and for each of the four
(4) plan years thereafter, a bond or escrow (or letter of credit or other security that is acceptable to the Multiemployer Plan) that complies with Section 4204(a)(1)(B) of ERISA, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the
greater of: 
 (i)    the average annual contribution that the Company and its Affiliates were required
to make with respect to the Acquired Stores to the applicable Multiemployer Plan for the three (3) plan years preceding the plan year in which the Closing Date (and/or each Subsequent Closing Date) occurs, or 

(ii)    the annual contribution that the Company and its Affiliates were required to make with respect to
the Acquired Stores to the applicable Multiemployer Plan for the last plan year completed before the plan year in which the Closing Date (and/or each Subsequent Closing Date) occurs. 

  
 59 

 The Company shall cooperate with Purchaser Sub in connection with any request by Purchaser Sub for any exemptions
or variances from the bonding requirements under Section 4204(a)(1)(B) of ERISA, including, upon request, timely sharing such information as may be necessary to determine whether and/or demonstrate that there is a basis for applying for an
exemption or variance from the bonding or escrow requirements and/or timely and jointly with Purchaser Sub notifying the Multiemployer Plan in writing, as contemplated by Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation Regulation Section 4204.11, of their
intention that the transactions contemplated hereby be covered by Section 4204 of ERISA. Any such bond or escrow (or letter of credit or other security) shall provide that it shall be paid to the applicable Multiemployer Plan if Purchaser Sub
withdraws from such Multiemployer Plan, or fails to make a contribution to such Multiemployer Plan when due, at any time during the five (5) full plan years beginning after the Closing Date (and/or each Subsequent Closing Date) (the
“4204 Period”). 
 (c)    If Purchaser Sub withdraws from any Multiemployer Plan in a complete
withdrawal, or there occurs a partial withdrawal with respect to the Acquired Stores, during the 4204 Period, the (i) Purchaser Sub and its Affiliates shall pay the amount of any such withdrawal liability and (ii) Company shall, to the
extent required by Section 4204 of ERISA, be secondarily liable for any withdrawal Liability it would have had to any such Multiemployer Plan with respect to the Acquired Stores, but for this Agreement, if and to the extent the Liability of
Purchaser Sub with respect to any such Multiemployer Plan is not paid. Purchaser Sub agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company with reasonable advance notice of any action or event which would reasonably be expected to
result in the imposition of such withdrawal Liability, and Purchaser Sub shall promptly furnish the Company with a copy of any notice of withdrawal Liability Purchaser Sub or its Affiliates may receive with respect to the Multiemployer Plan,
together with all pertinent details. In the event that any such withdrawal Liability shall be assessed against Purchaser Sub or its Affiliates, Purchaser Sub further agrees to provide the Company with reasonable advance notice of any intention on
the part of Purchaser Sub or such Affiliate not to make full payment of any withdrawal Liability when the same shall become due and payable. 

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, Section 4204 of ERISA or anything else contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, it is expressly agreed that if the Company incurs (i) any secondary withdrawal Liability under the preceding subsection (c) or (ii) Liability solely as a result of the Purchaser Sub’s failure to comply with
its obligations under this Agreement relating to Section 4204(a)(2) of ERISA, Parent and Purchaser Sub shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any and all losses incurred by the Company by reason of such Liability; provided,
however, that the Parties agree that Purchaser Sub shall not be deemed to have failed to have complied with the terms of Section 4204(a)(1)(A) of ERISA, relating to the requirement to contribute for substantially the same number of
contribution base units, for purposes of this Section 6.15(d) where it contributes to any Multiemployer Plan with respect to any Acquired Store for substantially the same number of contribution base units for which the
Company and its Affiliates had an obligation to contribute to any such Acquired Store for a period of six (6) months beginning on the Closing Date. The Company shall provide Parent and Purchaser Sub with reasonable advance notice of any action
or event which would reasonably be expected to require the Company to provide a bond or amount in escrow by operation of Section 4204(a)(3) of ERISA. 

  
 60 

 SECTION 6.16    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this
Article VI, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the Parties or their respective successors or assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Article VI and no
Transferred Employee or current or former employee of the Company, or any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any other person not a party to this Agreement shall be entitled to assert any claim hereunder. Nothing in this Article VI is
intended to be, shall constitute or shall be construed as an amendment or modification to any Employee Plans or any other employee benefit plans or arrangements of the Company, Purchaser Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or in any way limit
the right of the Company, Purchaser Sub or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any of their respective employee benefit plans or arrangements. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, neither Purchaser Sub
nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to continue to employ any Business Employee or Union-Represented Business Employee for any specific period of time following the Employment Start Date, subject to applicable requirements of Laws or the
terms of any applicable collective bargaining agreement. 
 SECTION 6.17    Waiver of Non-Compete Provisions. In respect of each of the Transferred Employees, the Company hereby agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, to waive and forever discharge any
non-compete obligation or restriction in connection with such Transferred Employee’s acceptance of an offer of employment from Parent or any of Parent’s Affiliates. 

SECTION 6.18    Obligations of Purchaser Sub. Parent guarantees the due, prompt and faithful payment,
performance and discharge by Purchaser Sub of, and the compliance by Purchaser Sub with, all of the covenants, agreements, obligations and undertakings of Purchaser Sub under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and
covenants and agrees to take all actions necessary or advisable to ensure such payment, performance and discharge by Purchaser Sub hereunder. 

SECTION 6.19    Financing Cooperation.

respective Representatives to, use its and their respective commercially reasonable efforts to provide such customary cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Parent or Purchaser Sub in connection with any Equity Financing, any Debt Financing
and any SEC filings related to any Debt Financing to be made by Parent for the purpose of financing the Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would (i) unreasonably
disrupt the ordinary conduct of the business or operations of the Company or its subsidiaries, (ii) require the Company or its subsidiaries to agree to pay any fees, reimburse any expenses or otherwise incur any actual or potential liability or
give any indemnities unless Parent reimburses or is required to reimburse or indemnify the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise agrees to do so pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
(iii) require the Company or its subsidiaries to take any action that would reasonably be expected, in the reasonable judgment of the Company after consultation with its legal counsel, to conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of,
any applicable (A) laws or orders, (B) obligations of confidentiality (not created in contemplation hereof) binding on the Company or its subsidiaries (provided that in the 

  
 61 

 
event that the Company or its subsidiaries do not provide information in reliance on the exclusion in this clause (B), the Company and its subsidiaries shall provide notice to Parent promptly
that such information is being withheld (but solely if providing such notice would not violate such obligation of confidentiality)), (C) organizational documents, or (D) Contract to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party,
(iv) require the Company or its subsidiaries to (A) pass resolutions or consents, approve or authorize the execution of, or execute any document, agreement, certificate or instrument or take any other corporate action with respect to any

any condition to Closing set forth in Article VII to fail to be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement, (vi) require the Company to prepare separate financial statements for any of its subsidiaries or financial

Parent acknowledges and agrees that
any access or information contemplated to be provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 6.19 shall, to the extent such information constitutes material non-public
information of the Company, only be provided to other Persons, including any Financing Sources, if such other Person affirmatively agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement and to
comply with all federal and state securities laws and regulations applicable to such information. 
 (b)    On or prior
to the Closing Date and each Subsequent Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a lien release letter from the agent under each Company Credit Agreement with respect to each Company Credit Agreement (each, a “Lien Release
Letter” and collectively, the “Lien Release Letters”) which Lien Release Letters shall provide that all Liens securing each such Company Credit Agreement relating to the Purchased Assets to be transferred on the Closing
Date or such Subsequent Closing Date, as applicable, shall be automatically released and terminated upon the consummation of the sale of such Purchased Assets to be so transferred on the applicable date in accordance with the terms hereof from time
to time without further action by any person (it being understood and agreed that (i) none of the Lien Release Letters or any such amendments or filings will impair or otherwise impact Liens on any assets other than the Purchased Assets subject
to such sale on the applicable date, (ii) no Lien Release Letter shall be required with respect to such sale if any of the Company Credit Agreements has been terminated prior to such sale (to the extent such termination results in a release of
all Liens securing such Company Credit Agreement) and (iii) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) include in each such Lien Release Letter express authorizations by the relevant agent for the Company or it designee
(including, without limitation, Parent and its subsidiaries) to file applicable UCC-3 amendments and other lien release filings and (y) if such authorization is received, at the request of Parent, file
such UCC-3 amendments and other lien release filings in consultation with Parent).

subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with any such 

  
 62 

 
party complying with the obligations under this Section 6.19, and Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and
against any and all losses, damages, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by them to the extent such losses, damages, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs or expenses arose out of
the actions taken by the Company, its subsidiaries or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.19 (other than information provided by the Company, its subsidiaries or Representatives in writing for express use
therein), except in the event such losses, damages, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs or expenses are determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to
have arisen out of or resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives. 

SECTION 6.20    Commercial Assistance. After the date hereof until the expiration of the term of the
Transition Services Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company’s Affiliates to, provide to Purchaser Sub, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective representatives to provide to Purchaser

severance, and any consent or termination payments or penalties, provided that Parent shall bear any costs and expenses relating to re-merchandizing the space occupied by such clinics and signage changes. The
Company shall not open or permit to be opened any RediClinic in-store clinics in any Acquired Store that is not located in such Acquired Store as of the date of this Agreement, unless the process to open such
clinic has begun prior to the date hereof.

practicable after the date hereof (the “Developed Testing Procedures”). The Company shall provide representatives of Purchaser Sub a reasonable opportunity to be present during such testing and to see the results of such
testing. 
 SECTION 6.24    Wellness+ Tier Status. Parent and Purchaser Sub shall maintain the “tier
status” of all participants in the Wellness+ program in all Acquired Stores from the Closing or Subsequent Closing, as applicable, until the time that such Acquired Store transitions off the “Rite Aid” banner and onto the
“Walgreens” banner. 
 SECTION 6.25    1199SEIU Arbitration. Following the Closing Date,
notwithstanding anything in Section 9.3 to the contrary, Parent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense and control of the Company’s outstanding arbitration initiated by 1199SEIU by a demand
letter dated October 14, 2016 and, in the event that Parent assumes the defense and control of such arbitration, it shall allow the Company a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such arbitration with its own counsel and at
its own expense; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall only be entitled to direct the defense for so long as Parent conducts the defense in an active and diligent manner. If Parent elects to control the
defense of such arbitration, Parent shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence after consultation with the Company and shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement of such
arbitration. The Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate reasonably with Parent in the defense of such arbitration. Parent shall be authorized to consent to a compromise or settlement of such arbitration in
full; provided, however, that, unless such compromise or settlement provides for no relief other than the payment of monetary damages by Parent or its Affiliates in an amount not to exceed the amount set forth on
Section 6.25 of the Company Disclosure Schedules and makes no admission, Parent shall give the Company advance notice of any proposed compromise or settlement and in no event shall Parent compromise or settle such
arbitration without the prior written consent of the Company. 
 SECTION 6.26    Insurance Coverage. To the
extent that (i) any insurance policies issued for the benefit of the Company or its Affiliates (the “Company’s Insurance Policies”) cover any Loss, Liability, claim, damage or expense relating to the Purchased Assets and relating
to or arising out of occurrences on or prior to the Closing (or such Subsequent Closing or the Distribution Center Closing, as applicable) (“Pre-Closing Matters”) and (ii) the Company’s
Insurance Policies continue after the Closing (or such Subsequent Closing or the Distribution Center Closing, as applicable) to permit claims to be made thereunder with respect to Pre-Closing Matters, the
Company shall cooperate and cause its Affiliates to cooperate with Parent in submitting claims with respect to Pre-Closing Matters on behalf of Parent under the Company’s Insurance Policies; provided,
that if such a claim in respect of a Pre-Closing Matter is rejected 

  
 64 

 
under the Company’s Insurance Policies, at the reasonable request and sole cost of Parent, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to commence litigation to enforce such claim
and that Parent shall reimburse, indemnify and hold the Company harmless from all liabilities, costs and expenses actually incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries as a result of such claims made under the Company’s Insurance Policies and
provided, further, that Parent shall not make any such claims if, and to the extent that, such claims are covered by insurance policies held by Parent or its Affiliates. The Company shall, with respect to any claim arising from an Assumed Liability
that is covered or potentially covered the Company’s Insurance Policies, (i) report such claim to the appropriate insurer as promptly as practicable after such claim is reported to the Company, and (ii) instruct that any proceeds of
such insurance policy are paid directly to Parent, the attorneys handling the defense of such claim and/or, where applicable, to the claimant as a result of any judgment or settlement, rather than to the Company or its Affiliates; provided, that
Parent shall notify the Company promptly of any such claim or potential claim and shall reasonably cooperate in the investigation and pursuit of any such claim or potential claim. The Company shall not release, commute, buy-back, or otherwise eliminate the coverage available to any of the Purchased Assets under any occurrence based policy with respect to Pre-Closing Matters. 

SECTION 6.27    Restructuring. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall (i) realign the Acquired Stores to
districts to be provided by the Purchaser and (ii) assign district leadership teams to positions as directed by the Purchaser, which could be a special assignment designation, provided that Purchaser shall conduct all employee interviews and
make all Purchaser district leadership team selections. 
 SECTION 6.28    Closed Stores. The
Acquired Stores set forth on Section 5.1(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedules may, at Seller’s election, be closed down prior to the Closing. If any such Acquired Store is closed, the Purchase Price shall be
reduced as set forth on Section 2.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedules (and the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be reduced accordingly). 

SECTION 6.29    Termination Fee. In accordance with Section 8.2(b)(iv) of the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of October 17, 2015, by and among the Company, Parent and Victoria Merger Sub, Inc., as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of January 29, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), Parent shall pay the
Company a termination fee in the amount of $325 million within two (2) Business Days from the date of this Agreement.

TERMINATION 

SECTION 8.1    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the sale of the Purchased Assets and the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing: 
 (a)    by mutual
written consent of Parent and the Company; 
 (b)    by Parent or the Company if any court of competent jurisdiction or
other Governmental Entity shall have issued a Legal Restraint that prevents, makes illegal, prohibits, restrains or enjoins the completion of the sale of the Purchased Assets and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Legal
Restraint is or shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to a Party whose breach of this Agreement was the primary cause
of, or primarily resulted in, the issuance of such Legal Restraint; 
 (c)    by either Parent or the Company if the
Closing shall not have occurred on or before the date that is six (6) months from the date of this Agreement (the “End Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to a Party whose breach of this Agreement was the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the End Date; provided,
further, that if on the End Date all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 have been satisfied (or, with respect to the conditions that by their terms must be satisfied at
the Closing, would have been so satisfied if the Closing would have occurred) or remain capable of being satisfied but any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) (but only if the Legal Restraint causing such condition not to be
satisfied is issued under or pursuant to any Antitrust Law) and/or Section 7.1(b) has not been satisfied, then (x) in the event that any Governmental Entity brings an action seeking to preliminarily enjoin the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, then the End Date will automatically be extended until ten (10) Business Days after the date on which a decision is rendered by such U.S. Federal District Court on whether to issue a preliminary injunction of any
transaction contemplated by this Agreement, provided that each Party shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations to make the HSR Filing and to certify substantial compliance with any Second Request, as applicable, in
accordance with the terms of Section 6.2 hereof, and provided, further, that the pendency of any administrative 

  
 68 

 
litigation that may be pending under Part 3 of the FTC’s rules of practice to challenge the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not be relevant or considered for purposes of
this Section 8.1(c) and (y) Parent and the Company may mutually agree to extend the End Date to a date to be determined at such time (in the case of any such extension pursuant to clause (x) or (y), the End Date shall be deemed
for all purpose to be such later date); 
 (d)    by written notice of the Company if there shall have been a breach of
any (i) representation or warranty or (ii) covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Purchaser Sub contained in this Agreement, or any such representation or warranty shall have become inaccurate, such that the conditions set forth in
Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied, and such breach or inaccuracy has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice thereof or such breach or inaccuracy is not reasonably capable
of being cured within such period; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if the Company is then in material breach of any of its covenants or
agreements contained in this Agreement; 
 (e)    by written notice of Parent if there shall have been a breach of any
(i) representation or warranty or (ii) covenant or agreement on the part of the Company contained in this Agreement, or any such representation or warranty shall have become inaccurate, such that the conditions set forth in Section
7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) would not be satisfied, and such breach or inaccuracy has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice thereof or such breach or inaccuracy is not reasonably capable of being
cured within such period; provided, that Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if Parent or Purchaser Sub is then in material breach of any of its covenants or
agreements contained in this Agreement; or 
 (f)    by written notice of Parent (i) within five (5) Business
Days following the delivery of a Company Notice pursuant to Section 6.1 (which notice by Parent may, at Parent’s election, be contingent upon the execution by the Company of the Alternative Acquisition Agreement
referenced in the applicable Company Notice within a specified period of time) or (ii) if the Company fails to deliver a Company Notice pursuant to Section 6.1, within five (5) Business Days following the
execution by the Company of an Alternative Acquisition Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.2    Effect of Termination.

 (a)    In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall
forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any Party hereto, except as provided in Section 6.6(c), Section 6.7, this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and
Article X, which shall survive such termination; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any Party hereto of any liability for damages resulting from a Willful Breach prior to such termination by any Party hereto
(which the Parties acknowledge and agree shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 10.14 applying the governing Law in accordance with Section 10.9), in which case the
aggrieved Party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or equity. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent expressly acknowledges and agrees that Parent’s and Purchaser Sub’s
obligations hereunder are not conditioned in any manner upon 

  
 69 

 
Parent or Purchaser Sub obtaining any financing. The failure, for any reason, of Parent or Purchaser Sub to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the date that the Closing
is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall constitute a Willful Breach of this Agreement by Parent and Purchaser Sub. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) nothing in this Section 8.2
shall be deemed to affect their right to specific performance under Section 10.13 and (ii) no termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the Parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and Letter Agreement.

 (b)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company, as applicable, pursuant to
(x) Section 8.1(b) and the applicable Legal Restraint giving rise to such termination right is issued under or pursuant to any Antitrust Law, (y) Section 8.1(c), and, in either case of clause (x) or (y), on the
termination date the only conditions to closing set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 that have not been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which conditions would
be capable of being satisfied at the Closing if the Closing Date were on the termination date) are the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) (but only if the applicable Legal Restraint causing such condition not to be satisfied is
issued under or pursuant to any Antitrust Law) and/or Section 7.1(b), then the Company shall promptly provide to Parent a statement of its Transaction Expenses, including copies of invoices from third party advisors in respect of such
Transaction Expenses, and Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, the amount of the Company’s Transaction Expenses, up to a maximum amount of $25 million (the “Expense Reimbursement”), to the Company (or its designee) by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Company, as promptly as reasonably practicable following receipt of such statement (and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days). 

(c)    Each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser Sub acknowledges that the agreements contained in this
Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Parent fails to promptly pay, or cause to be paid,
any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.2, and the Company commences a Proceeding that results in a judgment against Parent for the amount set forth in this Section 8.2 or a portion thereof, Parent shall pay, or cause to be
paid, to the Company all fees, costs and expenses of enforcement (including attorney’s fees as well as expenses incurred in connection with any such action), together with interest on such amount or such portion thereof at the prime lending
rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, in effect on the date such payment is required to be made. 

SECTION 8.3    Expenses. Each Party shall bear its own expenses in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, except as provided in Section 2.2(e) and Section 8.2. 

ARTICLE IX 

INDEMNIFICATION 

SECTION 9.1    Indemnification by the Company. From and after the Closing (with respect to the Acquired Stores
to be transferred on the Closing Date) and each Subsequent Closing (with respect to the Acquired Stores to be transferred on such Subsequent Closing Date), 

  
 70 

 
and subject to Section 9.3, Section 9.5, Section 9.6, Section 9.7,
Section 9.8 and Section 10.1, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent, Purchaser Sub and their respective Affiliates and Representatives (collectively, the “Parent
Indemnified Parties”) against, and reimburse any Parent Indemnified Party for, all Losses that such Parent Indemnified Party may suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of (i) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of
any representation contained in the Company Fundamental Representations as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date, any Subsequent Closing Date or the
Distribution Center Closing Date (except that for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of such representation or warranty will be determined with reference to such specified date),
(ii) the matters set forth in Section 2.2(e) and Section 6.4 with respect to which the Company may be obligated to provide indemnification thereunder or (iii) any Excluded Liability. 

SECTION 9.2    Indemnification by Parent. From and after the Closing (with respect to the Acquired Stores to
be transferred on the Closing Date) and each Subsequent Closing (with respect to the Acquired Stores to be transferred on such Subsequent Closing Date), and subject to Section 9.3, Section 9.5,
Section 9.6, Section 9.8 and Section 10.1, Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Indemnified
Parties”) against, and reimburse any Company Indemnified Party for, all Losses that such Company Indemnified Party may suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of (i) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any
representation contained in the Parent Fundamental Representations as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date, any Subsequent Closing Date or the
Distribution Center Closing Date (except that for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of such representation or warranty will be determined with reference to such specified date),
(ii) any Assumed Liability or (iii) the matters set forth in Section 2.2(e), Section 6.4, Section 6.14 and Section 6.15 with respect to which Parent may be
obligated to provide indemnification thereunder. 
 SECTION 9.3    Notification of Claims. 

(a)    A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Article IX (the “Indemnified
Party”) shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim, demand or circumstance that the Indemnified Party has determined
has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third
Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim, demand or circumstance; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release
the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. 

(b)    Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.3(a),
with respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense and control of any Third Party 

  
 71 

 
Claim and, in the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and control of such claim, it shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of
such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall only be entitled to direct the defense (i) for so long as the Indemnifying
Party conducts the defense in an active and diligent manner, (ii) if the Third Party Claim is not in respect of any matter involving potential criminal liability and does not seek as a remedy the imposition of an equitable remedy that, if
granted, would be binding upon the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) if the Indemnified Party does not have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more defenses or counterclaims
that may be alleged by the Indemnifying Party and (iv) with respect to any matter if the Indemnified Party shall not have been advised by outside counsel that there would be an actual conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party with respect to such matter. The party that shall control the defense of any such Third Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence
after consultation with the other party and shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim; provided, further, that (without limiting the Indemnified Party’s ability to assume
control of the defense of such Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense pursuant to the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent it, at the
Indemnifying Party’s expense, if either (A) the Indemnified Party has available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more defenses or counterclaims that may be alleged by the Indemnifying Party or
(B) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party. 
 (c)    The Company
or Parent, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate fully with the Controlling Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a
settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party advance notice of any
proposed compromise or settlement and in no event shall the Indemnifying Party compromise or settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such
compromise or settlement unless such compromise or settlement (i) provides for no relief other than the payment of monetary damages borne solely by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) does not include any admission of wrongdoing or violation of
Law on the part of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates and (iii) includes, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete release of any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third Party Claim. 

(d)    If any Indemnifying Party receives a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party
pursuant to Section 9.3(a) that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice if the Indemnifying Party disputes its
liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX. If the Indemnifying Party does not so notify the Indemnified Party, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed to be a Liability of
the Indemnifying Party under this Article IX, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion of the
claim) is estimated, on such later date when 

  
 72 

 
the amount of such claim (or such portion of such claim) becomes finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim as provided above, the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 10.9 and Section 10.14. 

SECTION 9.4    Exclusive Remedies. No Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements,
including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any Party hereto or any director,
officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or
in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, Liabilities or causes of action arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this
Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or its or their negotiation, execution, performance, or breach; and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each Party hereto hereby waives and releases all such claims, Liabilities and causes of action against
any such Persons. 
 SECTION 9.5    Additional Indemnification Provisions. 

(a)    The Indemnifying Parties waive all rights of subrogation with respect to any indemnification payments made by them
and shall not be entitled to any rights of subrogation with respect to claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses and with respect to the claim giving rise to such Losses. 

(b)    Parent and the Company agree that, for purposes of computing the amount of any indemnification payment under this
Article IX, any such indemnification payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. 

(c)    All Losses for which any Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under this Article
IX shall be reduced by the amount of any Tax benefits actually realized (determined on a with-and-without basis) by the Indemnified Party in the taxable year in
which such indemnification payment is made in respect of any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party. In the event that any such Tax benefits are realized by an Indemnified Party subsequent to receipt by such Indemnified Party of any
indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such Tax benefits relate, appropriate refunds shall be made promptly by the relevant Indemnified Parties of all or the relevant portion of such indemnification payment 

(d)    With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Article IX all Losses shall be net of any
third-party insurance proceeds that have been recovered or are recoverable by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification. 

SECTION 9.6    Mitigation. Each of the Parties shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates and
Representatives to, take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder. 

  
 73 

 SECTION 9.7    Third Party Remedies. If any Parent Indemnified
Party is at any time entitled (whether by reason of a contractual right, a right to take or bring a Proceeding, availability of insurance or a right to require a payment discount or otherwise) to recover from another Person any amount in respect of
any matter giving rise to a Loss (whether before or after the Company has made a payment to an Parent Indemnified Party hereunder and in respect thereof), Parent shall (and shall cause its applicable Affiliate to) (i) promptly notify the
Company and provide such information as the Company may require relating to such right of recovery and the steps taken or to be taken by Parent in connection therewith, (ii) if so required by the Company (subject to Parent being indemnified to
its reasonable satisfaction by the Company against all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Parent in respect thereof) and before being entitled to
recover any amount from the Company under this Agreement, first take all steps (whether by making a claim against its insurers, commencement of a Proceeding or otherwise) as the Company may reasonably require to pursue such recovery and

 86 

 
Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the
Parties in accordance with Section 10.3 without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of risks
associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties. Consequently, Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or
circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Company Indemnified Parties and Parent Indemnified Parties are express third party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to rely on

and whether in contract or in tort or otherwise), shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to choice of law principles thereof). 

SECTION 10.10    Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement and the table of contents
hereof are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 

SECTION 10.11    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile
transmission, email in “portable documentation format” (“.pdf”) form, or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be
deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

SECTION 10.12    Bulk Sales Laws. Parent and the Company each hereby waive compliance by the Company and its
Affiliates with the provisions of the “bulk sales”, “bulk transfer” or similar Laws of any state or any jurisdiction outside the United States that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any of the Purchased
Assets. 
 SECTION 10.13    Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which
monetary damages, even if available, may not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to complete
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other
equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties
agrees that prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that
(x) either Party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches
of this Agreement and to 

  
 87 

 
enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide, furnish or post any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction and
each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the provision, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. 

SECTION 10.14    Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably (a) consents to submit itself to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any
Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware), in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the actions of Parent, Purchaser Sub or the Company
in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement hereof and thereof, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that
it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the courts of the State of Delaware, as described above, and (d) consents to service being made through
the notice procedures set forth in Section 10.4. Each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser Sub hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the respective addresses set
forth in Section 10.4 shall be effective service of process for any suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not
to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure
to serve process in accordance with this Section 10.14, that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice,
attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that the Proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the
venue of such Proceeding is improper or that this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the benefit of any
defense that would hinder, fetter or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which the Party is entitled pursuant to the final judgment of any court having jurisdiction. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such Proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment. Without in any way
limiting other provisions relating to the Financing Sources and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees that it will not bring or support or permit any of its controlled Affiliates to bring or support any action, cause of
action, claim or third party claim of any kind or description, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law
jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (and the appellate courts thereof) and each party hereto further agrees that the adjudication of any such action, claim or third-party claim
shall be governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

  
 88 

 SECTION 10.15    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, PURCHASER
SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING
THOSE CONTEMPLATED BY THE LAST SENTENCE OF SECTION 10.14) OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THEREOF.

 SECTION 10.16    No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced by a Party against, and any claims or
causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be made by a Party, against another Party and no past, present or future director, officer,
employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any Party shall have any liability to any Party for any obligations or Liabilities of a Party under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements of

Agreement or with respect to any claim or cause of action that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement. Without limiting the rights of any Party against another Party hereunder, in
no event shall any Party or any of its Affiliates, and each Party agrees not to and to cause its Affiliates not to, seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Affiliate
or stockholder of another Party, or any director, officer or employee of another Party or of any Affiliates of another Party.

Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Victoria Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger

WHEREAS, the Parties entered into the Merger Agreement; 

WHEREAS, Section 8.1(a) of the Merger Agreement provides that the Merger Agreement may be terminated with the mutual written consent of
Parent and the Company; 
 WHEREAS, immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Parent intend to terminate that
certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of December 19, 2016, by and among the Company, Parent, AFAE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Fred’s, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the
“Fred’s APA”); 
 WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Walgreen Co.
will enter into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company will sell and Parent will purchase from the Company certain assets of the Company and its affiliates on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the
“Asset Purchase Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, in connection with entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Parties have
determined that they desire to terminate the Merger Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and 
 WHEREAS, the respective
boards of directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein,
and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows: 
 1.    Termination. Pursuant to
Section 8.1(a) of the Merger Agreement, the Parties hereby agree that the Merger Agreement, including all schedules and exhibits thereto, and all ancillary agreements contemplated thereby or entered pursuant thereto (collectively, the
“Transaction Documents”), are hereby terminated effective immediately as of the time of the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement on the date hereof (the “Termination Time”) and, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Transaction Documents, including Section 8.2 of the Merger Agreement, the Transaction Documents are terminated in their entirety and shall be of no further force or effect whatsoever (the “Termination”);
provided that Section 6.6(b) of the Merger Agreement, Section 6.8 of the Merger Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, as 

 
amended, the Clean Room Agreement, as amended, the Joint Defense and Confidentiality Agreement between Parent and the Company and the Asset Purchase Agreement shall each remain in full force and

paid, to the Company (or its designee) on or before June 30, 2017 the Parent Termination Fee in the amount of $325,000,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company. This is the same
payment that would have been due if the Merger Agreement were terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(c) thereof such that the Parent Termination Fee under Section 8.2(b)(iv) thereof would be payable. 

3.    Mutual Release; Disclaimer of Liability. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, each on behalf of itself
and each of its respective successors and past and present subsidiaries, Affiliates, assignees, officers, directors, employees, controlling persons, Representatives, agents, attorneys, auditors, stockholders, equity holders and advisors, and any
family member, spouse, heir, trust, trustee, executor, estate, administrator, beneficiary, foundation, fiduciary, predecessors, successors and assigns of each of them (the “Releasors”), does, to the fullest extent permitted by Law,
hereby fully release, forever discharge and covenant not to sue any other Party, any of their respective successors and past and present subsidiaries, Affiliates, assignees, officers, directors, employees, controlling persons, Representatives,
agents, attorneys, auditors, stockholders, equity holders and advisors, and any family member, spouse, heir, trust, trustee, executor, estate, administrator, beneficiary, foundation, fiduciary, predecessors, successors and assigns of each of them
(collectively the “Releasees”), from and with respect to any and all past, present, direct, indirect, individual, class, representative and derivative liability, claims, rights, actions, causes of action, suits, liens, obligations,
accounts, debts, losses, demands, judgments, remedies, agreements, promises, liabilities, covenants, controversies, costs, charges, damages, expenses and fees (including attorney’s, financial advisor’s or other fees)
(“Claims”), howsoever arising, of every kind and nature, whether based on any Law or right of action (including any claims under federal securities laws or state disclosure law or any claims that could be asserted derivatively on
behalf of the Parties), known or unknown, asserted or that could have been asserted, matured or unmatured, contingent or fixed, liquidated or unliquidated, accrued or unaccrued, foreseen or unforeseen, apparent or not apparent, which Releasors, or
any of them, ever had or now have or can have or shall or may hereafter have against the Releasees, or any of them, in connection with, arising out of, based upon or related to, directly or indirectly, the Transaction Documents (other than

received by the Company’s stockholders in connection with the proposed Merger, and any SEC filings, public filings, periodic reports, press releases, proxy statements or other statements issued, made available or filed relating, directly or
indirectly, to the proposed Merger or the Fred’s APA. The release contemplated by this Section 3 is intended to be as broad 

  
 2 

 
as permitted by Law and is intended to, and does, extinguish all Claims of any kind whatsoever, whether in Law or equity or otherwise, that are based on or relate to facts, conditions, actions or
omissions (known or unknown) that have existed or occurred at any time to and including the Termination Time. Each of the Releasors hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Law any rights it may have under any statute or common law
principle under which a general release does not extend to claims which such Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, including the provisions, rights and benefits of California Civil Code section
1542 (or any similar Law), which provides: 
 “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect
to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” 

Nothing in this Section 3 shall (i) apply to any action by any Party to enforce the rights and obligations imposed pursuant to
this Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement or any of its Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), the Confidentiality Agreement, as amended, the Clean Room Agreement, as amended, or the Joint Defense and Confidentiality
Agreement between Parent and the Company or (ii) constitute a release by any Party for any Claim arising under this Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement or any of its Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), or the

delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by Parent and Merger Sub, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.

 3

valid and binding obligation of Parent and Merger Sub enforceable against each of Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception. 

Except as expressly set forth in this Section 2(a), no Party makes additional representations or warranties express,
implied or statutory as to any other matter whatsoever. 
 (b)    Further Assurances. Each Party shall, and
shall cause its subsidiaries and Affiliates to, cooperate with each other in the taking of all actions necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to effectuate the Termination. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective subsidiaries and Affiliates to, cooperate with each other in connection with the withdrawal of any applications to or termination of proceedings before any Governmental Entity or under
any Antitrust Law, in each case to the extent applicable, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 

(c)    Waiver. The failure of any Party to assert any rights or remedies shall not constitute a waiver of such
rights or remedies. 
 (d)    Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be given by delivery in person, by facsimile or by email (with affirmative confirmation of receipt by the receiving Party), by registered or certified mail (with postage prepaid, return receipt requested) or by a
nationally recognized courier service (with signed confirmation of receipt) to the respective Parties at the addresses set forth in Section 9.4 of the Merger Agreement (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified by like notice).

 (e)    Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal
substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good
faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest
extent possible. 
 (f)    Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to
the benefit of each Party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than with

any Releasee relating to such Party.

 (g)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality
Agreement, as amended, the Clean Room Agreement, as amended, the Joint Defense and Confidentiality Agreement between Parent and the Company constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all

the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the legal relationship of the Parties hereto or thereto (whether at law or in equity, and whether in contract or in tort or otherwise),
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to choice of law principles thereof).

only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 (k)    Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission, email in “portable documentation format” (“.pdf”) form, or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different
Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

(l)    Specific Enforcement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event
that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that
the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. It is agreed that the Parties are
entitled to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement without proof of actual damages (and each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this
being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to
assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. 

(m)    Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably (i) consents to submit itself to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom 

  
 5 

 
within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any Delaware state or federal court within the
State of Delaware), in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the actions of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company in the negotiation, administration,
performance and enforcement hereof and thereof, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action
relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the courts of the State of Delaware, as described above, and (iv) consents to service being made through the notice procedures set
forth in Section 9.4 of the Merger Agreement. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the respective addresses set forth in Section 9.4 of
the Merger Agreement shall be effective service of process for any suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion,
as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance
with this Section 4(m), that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment,
attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that the Proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such Proceeding is
improper, or that this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the benefit of any defense that would hinder,
fetter or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which the Party is entitled pursuant to the final judgment of any court having jurisdiction. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment. 

(n)    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT OR THE
COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THEREOF.
