EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into on [●], 2019, between HS Spinco, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”) and Benjamin Shaw (the “Executive” and collectively with the Company, the “Parties”), and shall be effective as of, and contingent on, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated April 20, 2018, by and among the Company, Henry Schein, Inc., a Delaware corporation, HS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Direct Vet Marketing Inc., and Shareholder Representative Services LLC (the “Effective
Date”). All references herein to the Company shall include the Company’s subsidiaries, where applicable. 
 WHEREAS, the Parties
desire to enter into this Agreement to reflect the Executive’s position and role in the Company’s business and to provide for the Executive’s employment by the Company with respect to certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, upon
the terms and conditions set forth herein; 
 WHEREAS, the Executive has agreed to certain confidentiality,
non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained hereunder, in consideration of the benefits provided to the Executive under this Agreement; 

WHEREAS, the Parties understand that the Company will change its name to Covetrus, Inc., a Delaware corporation, prior to the Effective Date;
and 
 WHEREAS, this Agreement replaces and supersedes all previous employment agreements between the Executive and the Company (and any
predecessor thereto). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the
Company and the Executive, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 1.    Employment. 

(a)    Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the third anniversary of
the Effective Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Term”). The Term shall be automatically extended and renewed for a period of one (1) year from the end of the Term (the “Renewal
Date”) unless either the Company or the Executive gives written notice of non-renewal to the other Party at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Term, in which event this Agreement shall
terminate at the end of the Term. Subject to the termination provisions contained herein, if this Agreement is renewed on the Renewal Date for an additional one (1) year period, it will automatically be renewed on the anniversary of the Renewal
Date and each subsequent year thereafter (the “Annual Renewal Date”) for a period of one (1) year, unless either Party gives written notice of non-renewal to the other at least ninety
(90) days prior to any Annual Renewal Date, in which case the Agreement will terminate on the Annual Renewal Date immediately following such notice. 

 (b)    Duties. During the Term, the Executive shall be employed
by the Company as its Chief Executive Officer and shall serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Executive’s ability. The Executive shall devote the Executive’s full business time, attention, skill and efforts to the performance
of the duties required by or appropriate for the Executive’s position with the Company. The Executive shall report to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and shall perform such duties commensurate with the
Executive’s office as contained in the bylaws of the Company or as the Executive shall reasonably be directed by the Board. The Executive shall perform such services at the Company’s headquarters and the Executive shall engage in such
reasonable business travel as may be required to perform the Executive’s duties. 
 (c)    Best Efforts.
Except for vacation, absences due to temporary illness and absences resulting from Disability (as hereinafter defined), the Executive shall devote the Executive’s business time, attention and energies on a full-time basis to the performance of
the duties and responsibilities referred to in subsection (b) above. The Executive shall not during the Term be engaged in any other business activity which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, would conflict with the ability of the
Executive to perform the Executive’s duties under this Agreement, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage. Nothing in this Section shall prevent Executive from engaging in additional activities in
connection with personal investments and community affairs, including serving on corporate, civic, or charitable boards, subject to the approval by the Company, that are not materially inconsistent with Executive’s duties under this Agreement.

 2.    Base Salary. During the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive a base salary of $835,000 annually,
which shall be subject to review and, at the option of the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”), subject to increase (such salary, as the same may be increased from time to time as aforesaid,
being referred to herein as the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be reviewed on an annual basis for increases in accordance with the review process for senior level executives of the Company. The Base Salary shall be payable in
accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. Solely for so long as Executive is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Executive hereby waives any and all rights to receive compensation, including incentive equity consideration,
to which Executive may be entitled in his capacity as a member of the Board. 
 3.    Incentive Compensation 

(a)    Annual Incentive Compensation. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in an annual bonus program
established by the Company with a target annual bonus amount, which for the 2019 fiscal year of the Company shall be equal to 100% of the Executive’s Base Salary, and for each subsequent fiscal year of the Term shall be determined by the
Compensation Committee, subject in all respects to achievement of performance goals to be established by the Company (the “Annual Bonus”). Any bonus earned by the Executive shall be paid after the end of the fiscal year to which it
relates, at the same time and under the same terms and conditions as other executives of the Company; provided that the Executive remains employed by the Company on the date the bonus is paid (other than due to
non-renewal or termination by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason) and in no event shall the Executive’s bonus be paid later than March 15 of the fiscal year following the
fiscal year for which it was earned. 

  
 2 

 (b)    Long-Term Incentive Compensation. The Executive shall be
eligible to participate in all equity compensation plans and programs in place at the Company and shall receive such grants as may be provided from time to time by the Company to its officers. For the 2019 fiscal year, the Executive’s target
long-term incentive compensation shall be granted as soon as commercially practicable following the Effective Date, but no later than March 31, 2019 and shall be equal to $3,500,000 (“Target LTI”) and shall include a mix of fifty
percent (50%) performance-based stock options and fifty percent (50%) full value awards subject to ratable time-based vesting over four years. The performance targets for fiscal year 2019 shall be established by the Compensation Committee in
consultation with the Chief Executive Officer. The Executive’s Target LTI and the mix of equity grants shall be subject to change each subsequent fiscal year of the Term as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. Any
equity awards made by the Company to the Executive shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s equity compensation plan and form of grant agreement, as may be amended from time to time. 

4.    Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in certain retirement and welfare
benefit plans and programs made available to the Company’s executives as a group, as such retirement and welfare plans may be in effect from time to time and subject to the eligibility requirements of such plans. Nothing in this Agreement or
otherwise shall prevent the Company from amending or terminating any incentive, equity compensation, retirement, welfare or other employee benefit plans, programs, policies or perquisites from time to time as the Company deems appropriate. 

5.    Vacation. During the Term, in addition to all holidays observed by the Company (currently ten
(10) days), the Executive shall be entitled twenty-one (21) days of annual paid time off, which shall accrue and may be used in accordance with the Company’s vacation, holiday, and other pay-for-time-not-worked policies. 

6.    Reimbursement of Expenses. During the Term, the Company shall reimburse the Executive, in accordance with the
policies and practices of the Company in effect from time to time, for all reasonable and necessary traveling expenses and other disbursements incurred by the Executive for or on behalf of the Company in connection with the performance of the
Executive’s duties hereunder upon presentation by the Executive to the Company of appropriate documentation therefore. 

7.    Termination Without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by
the Company without Cause (as defined below) or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined below), the provisions of this Section 7 shall apply. 

(a)    The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause upon not less
than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Executive and the Executive may resign for Good Reason (as defined below). 

  
 3 

 (b)    Unless the Executive complies with the provisions of
Section 7(c) below, upon termination under Section 7(a) above, no other payments or benefits shall be due under this Agreement to the Executive, but the Executive shall be entitled to any amounts earned, accrued and owing, but not yet paid
under Section 2 and any benefits accrued and due in accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company (the “Accrued Obligations”). 

(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7(b), upon termination under Section 7(a) above, if the
Executive executes and does not revoke a written release of any and all claims against the Company or its affiliates, with respect to all matters arising out of the Executive’s employment with the Company, in such form as provided by the
Company in its sole discretion (the “Release”), and so long as the Executive continues to comply with the provisions of Section 14 below and Exhibit A and Exhibit B, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, the Executive shall be
entitled to receive the following: 
 (i)    Continuation of the Executive’s Base Salary for twenty-four
(24) months (the “Severance Term”), at the rate in effect for the year in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs, which amount shall be paid in regular payroll installments over the applicable period following the
Executive’s termination date; and 
 (ii)    A prorated Annual Bonus for the year in which the Executive’s
termination of employment occurs, which shall be determined by multiplying the Executive’s Target Incentive Bonus by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during which the Executive was employed by the Company in the year in
which the termination date occurs and the denominator of which is 365. The prorated Annual Bonus, if any, shall be paid at the same time as bonuses are paid to other employees of the Company, but not later than March 15 of the fiscal year
following the fiscal year for which it was earned. 
 (iii)    If the Executive timely and properly elects health
continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), then continued health (including hospitalization, medical, dental, vision etc.) insurance coverage substantially similar in all material
respects as the coverage provided to the Company’s then other active senior executives for the eighteen (18) month period following the Executive’s termination of employment; provided that the Executive shall pay an amount equal to
the amount active employees pay for such coverage as of the date of the Executive’s termination (the “Monthly COBRA Costs”) and the period of COBRA health care continuation coverage provided under section 4980B of the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (the “Code”) shall run concurrently with the period; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any benefits provided by this subsection
(c)(iii) shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent the Executive becomes entitled to duplicative benefits by virtue of the Executive’s subsequent or other employment; and provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Company’s making payments under this Section 7(c)(iii) would violate any nondiscrimination rules applicable to the Company’s group health plan under which such coverage is made available, or result in the imposition of penalties under
the Code or the Affordable Care Act, or be impermissible under applicable law, the Parties agree to reform this Section 7(c)(iii) in a manner as is necessary to comply with such requirements and avoid such penalties. 

  
 4 

 8.    Voluntary Termination. The Executive may voluntarily
terminate the Executive’s employment for any reason upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. In such event, after the effective date of such termination, no payments shall be due under this Agreement, except that the Executive
shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations. 
 9.    Death; Disability. If the Executive’s employment is
terminated by the Company by reason of death or, subject to the requirements of applicable law, Disability (as defined below), upon the Executive’s date of termination or death, no payments shall be due under this Agreement, except that the
Executive (or in the event of the Executive’s death, the Executive’s executor, legal representative, administrator or designated beneficiary, as applicable), shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations. 

10.    Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for Cause upon written notice
to the Executive, in which event all payments under this Agreement shall cease, except for the Accrued Obligations. 

11.    Change of Control. 

(a)    Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason in connection with a Change of Control.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if there is both a Change of Control and the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason during the period commencing on the date that is
two months prior to (or the earlier date of execution of a definitive agreement with respect to such Change of Control) and ending twelve (12) months following such Change of Control (a “CIC Termination”), then, in addition to the
Accrued Obligations, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following: 
 (i)    Severance benefits in an
amount equal to two times (2x) the sum of the Executive’s Base Salary plus the Executive’s Target Incentive Bonus in effect immediately prior to the Executive’s termination date, which amount shall be paid in regular payroll
installments over the applicable twenty-four (24) month period following the Executive’s termination date; 

(ii)    COBRA continuation benefits as set forth in Section 7(c)(iii); and 

(iii)    All outstanding equity grants held by the Executive immediately prior to the CIC Termination which vest based
upon the Executive’s continued service over time shall accelerate, become fully vested and/or exercisable, as the case may be, as of the later of (A) the date of the CIC Termination and (B) the consummation of a Change of Control (the
later of (A) or (B) the “CIC Vesting Event”). All outstanding equity grants held by the Executive immediately prior to the CIC Termination which vest based upon attainment of performance criteria shall accelerate, become vested and/or
exercisable, as the case may be, as of the date of the CIC Vesting Event at the greater of (x) the target level of performance and (y) the actual level of performance through the CIC Vesting Event. 

  
 5 

 The foregoing severance benefits shall be subject to the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the Release and the Executive’s continued compliance with the provisions of Section 14 below, and Exhibit A and Exhibit B attached hereto, as applicable. 

(iv)    Application of Section 280G. If any of the payments or benefits received or to be
received by the Executive (including, without limitation, any payment or benefits received in connection with a Change of Control or the Executive’s termination of employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan,
arrangement or agreement, or otherwise) (all such payments collectively referred to herein as the “280G Payment”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G and will be subject to the excise tax
imposed under Code Section 4999 (the “Excise Tax”), then the 280G Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (i) the largest portion of the 280G Payment that would result in no
portion of the 280G Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (ii) the largest portion of the 280G Payment, up to and including the total 280G Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local
employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the 280G
Payment, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the 280G Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. In making the determination described above, the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall make a reasonable determination of the value
to be assigned to any restrictive covenants in effect for the Executive, and the amount of the 280G Payment shall be reduced by the value of those restrictive covenants to the extent consistent with Code Section 280G. If a reduction in payments
or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the 280G Payment equals the Reduced Amount, the amounts payable or benefits to be provided to the Executive shall be reduced such that the economic loss to the Executive as
a result of the “parachute payment” elimination is minimized. In applying this principle, the reduction shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and where two economically equivalent amounts are
subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero. All determinations to be made under this Section 11 shall be made by an independent accounting firm, consulting firm or
other independent service provider selected by the Company immediately prior to the Change of Control (the “Firm”), which shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within ten
(10) days of the Change of Control. Any such determination by the Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. All of the fees and expenses of the Firm in performing the determinations referred to in this Section 11 shall be
borne solely by the Company. 
 12.    Definitions. 

(a)    Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean any of the following grounds for
termination of the Executive’s employment listed: (i) the Executive’s knowing and material dishonesty or fraud committed in connection with the Executive’s employment; (ii) theft, misappropriation or embezzlement by the
Executive of the Company’s funds and/or property; (iii) the Executive repeatedly negligently performing or repeatedly negligently failing to perform, or willfully refusing to perform, the Executive’s duties to the Company (other than
a failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental 

  
 6 

 
illness); (iv) the Executive’s conviction of or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to any felony, a crime involving fraud or misrepresentation, or any other crime (whether or not
connected with his employment) the effect of which is likely to adversely affect the Company or its affiliates; (v) a material breach by the Executive of any of the provisions or covenants set forth in this Agreement; or (vi) a material
breach by the Executive of the Company’s Code of Conduct. Prior to any termination for Cause pursuant to each such event listed in (i), (iii), (v) or (vi) above, to the extent such event(s) is capable of being cured by the Executive, the
Company shall give the Executive written notice thereof describing in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Cause and the Executive shall have the opportunity to remedy same within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice.

 (b)    Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall have the same
meaning ascribed to such term under the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as in effect on the date hereof and as may be amended from time to time, or such successor plan. 

(c)    Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the Executive has been unable
to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s position with the Company by reason of physical or mental incapacity for a period of six consecutive months, subject to any obligations or limitations imposed by federal, state or local
laws, including any duty to accommodate Executive under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. 
 (d)    Good
Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following, without the Executive’s consent: (i) material diminution of the Executive’s authority, duties or
responsibilities; (ii) a material change in the geographic location at which Executive must perform the Executive’s services under this Agreement (which, for purposes of this Agreement, means relocation of the offices of the Company at
which the Executive is principally employed to a location more than fifty (50) miles from the location of such offices immediately prior to the relocation); (iii) a material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary; (iv) non-renewal of this Agreement; or (v) any action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of a material provision of this Agreement. The Executive must provide written notice of
termination for Good Reason to the Company within thirty (30) days after the event constituting Good Reason first occurs, which notice shall state such Good Reason in reasonable detail. The Company shall have a period of thirty (30) days
in which it may correct the act or failure to act that constitutes the grounds for Good Reason as set forth in the Executive’s notice of termination. If the Company does not correct the act or failure to act, the Executive must terminate the
Executive’s employment for Good Reason within sixty (60) days after the end of the cure period, in order for the termination to be considered a Good Reason termination. 

(e)    Target Incentive Bonus. For purposes of this Agreement, “Target Incentive Bonus” shall mean the
Executive’s target annual incentive bonus amount (measured at the target level, identified “goal” target or other similar target, without taking into account any incentive override for above goal performance, or any project-specific
or other non-standard incentives) as in effect under the Company’s applicable annual incentive plan for the year of termination. In the event that the Company has notified the Executive in writing that
the Executive will be eligible for a Target Incentive Bonus for the year of termination, but a plan has not yet been put into effect, the Target Incentive Bonus shall be the prior year’s target annual incentive bonus amount.

 (i)    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
partially or wholly invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be modified or restricted to the extent necessary to make such provision valid, binding and enforceable, or if such
provision cannot be modified or 

  
 10 

 
restricted, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed to be excised from this Agreement; provided, however, that the binding effect and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement, to the extent the economic benefits conferred upon the Parties by virtue of this Agreement remain substantially unimpaired, shall not be affected or impaired in any manner, and any such invalidity, illegality or

a claim.

termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations. 

(l)    Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Maine state court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in the state of Maine, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any related agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that jurisdiction and venue in such courts would be proper, and hereby waive any objection
that such courts are an improper or inconvenient forum. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related agreement in any Maine state or federal court. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (m)    Withholding. All payments under this
Agreement shall be made subject to applicable tax withholding, and the Company shall withhold from any payments under this Agreement all federal, state and local taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any law or governmental rule
or regulation. The Executive shall bear all expense of, and be solely responsible for, all federal, state and local taxes due with respect to any payment received under this Agreement. 

(n)    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. 

(i)    This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and its corresponding regulations, to the
extent applicable. Severance benefits under the Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code under the “short term 

  
 11 

 
deferral” exemption, to the maximum extent applicable, and then under the “separation pay” exemption, to the maximum extent applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable. As used in the Agreement, the term “termination of employment” shall mean
the Executive’s separation from service with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a
payment. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment hereunder shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of payments shall be treated as the right to a series of separate payments. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no
event shall the timing of the Executive’s execution of the Release, directly or indirectly, result in the Executive designating the calendar year of payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution of the Release could be made in more
than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year. 
 (ii)    Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if, at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, the Company has securities which are publicly traded on an established securities market and the Executive is a “specified employee” (as such
term is defined in section 409A of the Code) and it is necessary to postpone the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable under this Agreement as a result of such termination of employment to prevent any accelerated or additional
tax under section 409A of the Code, then the Company will postpone the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Executive) that are
not otherwise paid within the ‘short-term deferral exception’ under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4), and the ‘separation pay exception’ under Treas. Reg.
§1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), until the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six months following the Executive’s “separation of service” (as such term is defined under code
section 409A of the Code) with the Company. If any payments are postponed due to such requirements, such postponed amounts will be paid in a lump sum to the Executive on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six months following
Executive’s separation of service with the Company. If the Executive dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of postponed amount, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal
representative of the Executive’s estate within sixty (60) days after the date of the Executive’s death. 

(o)    Full Settlement. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other
action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced as a result of a mitigation duty whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. 

(p)    Indemnification. The Company hereby agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold
the Executive harmless against any costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred in connection with any proceeding arising out of, by reason of or relating to the
Executive’s good 

  
 12 

 
faith performance of the Executive’s duties and obligations with the Company. The Company shall also provide the Executive with coverage as a named insured under a directors and officers
liability insurance policy maintained for the Company’s directors and officers. This obligation to provide insurance and indemnify the Executive shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to proceedings or threatened
proceedings based on acts or omissions of the Executive occurring during the Executive’s employment with the Company or with any of its affiliates. Such obligations shall be binding upon the Company’s successors and assigns and shall inure
to the benefit of the Executive’s heirs and personal representatives. 
 (q)    Government Agency Exception.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit or restrict the Executive from: (i) making any disclosure of information required by process of law; (ii) providing information to, or testifying or otherwise assisting in any investigation
or proceeding brought by, any federal or state regulatory or law enforcement agency or legislative body, or any self-regulatory organization; or (iii) filing, testifying, participating in, or otherwise assisting in a proceeding relating to an
alleged violation of any federal, state, or municipal law relating to fraud or any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any self-regulatory organization. In addition, this Agreement does not bar the Executive’s right
to file an administrative charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) and/or to participate in an investigation by the EEOC.

 Exhibit 10.13 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into on [●], 2019, between HS Spinco, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”) and Christine Komola (the “Executive” and collectively with the Company, the “Parties”), and shall be effective as of, and contingent on, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated April 20, 2018, by and among the Company, Henry Schein, Inc., a Delaware corporation, HS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Direct Vet Marketing Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DVM”) and Shareholder
Representative Services LLC (the “Effective Date”). All references herein to the Company shall include the Company’s subsidiaries, where applicable. 

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to reflect the Executive’s position and role in the Company’s business and
to provide for the Executive’s employment by the Company with respect to certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein; 

WHEREAS, the Executive has agreed to certain confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained hereunder, in consideration of the benefits provided to the Executive under this Agreement; 

WHEREAS, the Parties understand that the Company will change its name to Covetrus, Inc., a Delaware corporation, prior to the Effective Date;
and 
 WHEREAS, this Agreement replaces and supersedes all previous employment agreements between the Executive and the Company (and any predecessor
thereto). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the Company and the
Executive, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 1.    Employment. 

(a)    Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the third anniversary of
the Effective Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Term”). The Term shall be automatically extended and renewed for a period of one (1) year from the end of the Term (the “Renewal
Date”) unless either the Company or the Executive gives written notice of non-renewal to the other Party at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Term, in which event this Agreement shall
terminate at the end of the Term. Subject to the termination provisions contained herein, if this Agreement is renewed on the Renewal Date for an additional one (1) year period, it will automatically be renewed on the anniversary of the Renewal
Date and each subsequent year thereafter (the “Annual Renewal Date”) for a period of one (1) year, unless either Party gives written notice of non-renewal to the other at least sixty
(60) days prior to any Annual Renewal Date, in which case the Agreement will terminate on the Annual Renewal Date immediately following such notice. 

 (b)    Duties. During the Term, the Executive shall be employed
by the Company as its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and shall serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Executive’s ability. The Executive shall devote the Executive’s full time, attention, skill and
efforts to the performance of the duties required by or appropriate for the Executive’s position with the Company. The Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer and shall perform such duties commensurate with the Executive’s
office as contained in the bylaws of the Company or as the Executive shall reasonably be directed by the Chief Executive Officer. The Executive shall perform such services at the Company’s headquarters and the Executive shall engage in such
reasonable business travel as may be required to perform the Executive’s duties. 
 (c)    Best Efforts.
Except for vacation, absences due to temporary illness and absences resulting from Disability (as hereinafter defined), the Executive shall devote the Executive’s business time, attention and energies on a full-time basis to the performance of
the duties and responsibilities referred to in subsection (b) above. The Executive shall not during the Term be engaged in any other business activity which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, would conflict with the ability of the
Executive to perform the Executive’s duties under this Agreement, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage. Nothing in this Section shall prevent Executive from engaging in additional activities in
connection with personal investments and community affairs, including serving on corporate, civic, or charitable boards, subject to the approval by the Company, that are not materially inconsistent with Executive’s duties under this Agreement.

 2.    Base Salary. During the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive a base salary of $650,000.00
annually, which shall be subject to review and, at the option of the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”), subject to increase (such salary, as the same may be increased from time
to time as aforesaid, being referred to herein as the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be reviewed on an annual basis for increases in accordance with the review process for senior level executives of the Company. The Base Salary
shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. 
 3.    Incentive Compensation

 (a)    Annual Incentive Compensation. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in an annual bonus program
established by the Company with a target annual bonus amount, which for the 2019 fiscal year of the Company and each year thereafter shall be equal to seventy five percent (75%) of the Executive’s Base Salary, subject in all respects to
achievement of performance goals to be established by the Company (the “Annual Bonus”). Any bonus earned by the Executive shall be paid after the end of the fiscal year to which it relates, at the same time and under the same terms and
conditions as other executives of the Company; provided that the Executive remains employed by the Company on the date the bonus is paid (other than due to non-renewal or termination by the Company without
Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason) and in no event shall the Executive’s bonus be paid later than March 1 of the fiscal year following the fiscal year for which it was earned. In addition, the Executive will receive a bonus for
fiscal year 2018 in an amount equal to not less than seventy five percent (75%) of the Executive’s Base Salary, pro-rated for the number of days elapsed from the commencement of Executive’s
employment with DVM through December 31, 2018, which bonus shall be paid by the Company no later than March 1, 2019. 

  
 2 

 (b)    Long-Term Incentive Compensation. The Executive shall be
eligible to participate in all equity compensation plans and programs in place at the Company and shall receive such grants as may be provided from time to time by the Company to its officers. Any equity awards made by the Company to the Executive
shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s equity compensation plan and form of grant agreement, as may be amended from time to time. 

(i)    For the 2019 fiscal year, the Executive’s target long-term incentive compensation shall be granted as soon as
commercially practicable following the Effective Date, but no later than March 31, 2019 and shall be equal to $1,500,000.00 (“Target LTI”) and shall include a mix of fifty percent (50%) performance-based stock options and fifty
percent (50%) full value awards subject to ratable time-based vesting over four years. The performance targets for fiscal years 2018 and 2019 shall be established by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer. The
Executive’s Target LTI and the mix of equity grants shall be subject to change each subsequent fiscal year of the Term as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. 

(ii)    In addition to, and on the same date of grant, as the award contemplated by Section 3(b)(i), the Executive
will be awarded one time “new hire” grant in an amount equal to $1,250,000 on the date of grant (the “New Hire Grant”). The New Hire Grant will include a mix of fifty percent (50%) performance-based stock options with the same
performance targets as the 2019 Target LTI award, and fifty percent (50%) full value awards subject to ratable time-based vesting over four years. 

4.    Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in certain retirement and welfare
benefit plans and programs made available to the Company’s executives as a group, as such retirement and welfare plans may be in effect from time to time and subject to the eligibility requirements of such plans. Nothing in this Agreement or
otherwise shall prevent the Company from amending or terminating any incentive, equity compensation, retirement, welfare or other employee benefit plans, programs, policies or perquisites from time to time as the Company deems appropriate. 

5.    Vacation. During the Term, in addition to all holidays observed by the Company (currently ten
(10) days), the Executive shall be entitled twenty-one (21) days of annual paid time off, which shall accrue and may be used in accordance with the Company’s vacation, holiday, and other pay-for-time-not-worked policies. 

6.    Reimbursement of Expenses. During the Term, the Company shall reimburse the Executive, in accordance with the
policies and practices of the Company in effect from time to time, for all reasonable and necessary traveling expenses and other disbursements incurred by the Executive for or on behalf of the Company in connection with the performance of the
Executive’s duties hereunder upon presentation by the Executive to the Company of appropriate documentation therefore. The Company will reimburse the Executive up to $10,000 annually for financial planning, tax planning and legal costs/fees.
The Company shall also reimburse the 

  
 3 

 
Executive for expenses relating to her relocation to Maine during 2019 including any fees associated with breaking the lease described in the last sentence of this paragraph, to a maximum of
$250,000 inclusive of tax gross-up. If the Executive’s employment with Company is terminated by the Company for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason within one (1) year after the
Executive’s relocation, the Company may require that the Executive repay the Company up to 100% of the relocation expenses reimbursed by the Company. To the extent not paid by DVM prior to the Effective Date, the Company will reimburse the
Executive for temporary living expenses in Portland, Maine in an amount not to exceed $7,500 per month from October 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, together with a tax gross-up for such amounts. 

7.    Termination Without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by
the Company without Cause (as defined below) or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined below), the provisions of this Section 7 shall apply. 

(a)    The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause upon not less
than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Executive and the Executive may resign for Good Reason (as defined below). 

(b)    Unless the Executive complies with the provisions of Section 7(c) below, upon termination under
Section 7(a) above, no other payments or benefits shall be due under this Agreement to the Executive, but the Executive shall be entitled to any amounts earned, accrued and owing, but not yet paid under Section 2 and any benefits accrued
and due in accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company (the “Accrued Obligations”). 

(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7(b), upon termination under Section 7(a) above, if the
Executive executes and does not revoke a written release of any and all claims against the Company or its affiliates, with respect to all matters arising out of the Executive’s employment with the Company, in such form as provided by the
Company in its sole discretion (the “Release”), and so long as the Executive continues to comply with the provisions of Section 14 below and Exhibit A and Exhibit B, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, the Executive shall be
entitled to receive the following: 
 (i)    Continuation of the Executive’s Base Salary for eighteen
(18) months (the “Severance Term”), at the rate in effect for the year in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs, which amount shall be paid in regular payroll installments over the applicable period following the
Executive’s termination date; 
 (ii)    A prorated Annual Bonus for the year in which the Executive’s
termination of employment occurs, which shall be determined by multiplying the Executive’s Target Incentive Bonus by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during which the Executive was employed by the Company in the year in
which the termination date occurs and the denominator of which is 365. The prorated Annual Bonus, if any, shall be paid at the same time as bonuses are paid to other employees of the Company, but not later than March 1 of the fiscal year
following the fiscal year for which it was earned; 

  
 4 

 (iii)    The performance-based vesting of the Executive’s New Hire
Grant will be subject to acceleration such that the number of options deemed vested as of the termination date of Executive’s employment will be equal to the number of options that would have vested had the performance-based options been
subject the same ratable time-based vesting schedule as the full value award portion of the New Hire Grant; and 

(iv)    If the Executive timely and properly elects health continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), then continued health (including hospitalization, medical, dental, vision etc.) insurance coverage substantially similar in all material respects as the coverage provided to the Company’s then
other active senior executives for the Severance Term; provided that the Executive shall pay an amount equal to the amount active employees pay for such coverage as of the date of the Executive’s termination (the “Monthly COBRA
Costs”) and the period of COBRA health care continuation coverage provided under section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (the “Code”) shall run concurrently with
the period; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any benefits provided by this subsection (c)(iii) shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent the Executive becomes entitled to duplicative benefits by virtue of the
Executive’s subsequent or other employment; and provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s making payments under this Section 7(c)(iii) would violate any nondiscrimination rules applicable to the
Company’s group health plan under which such coverage is made available, or result in the imposition of penalties under the Code or the Affordable Care Act, or be impermissible under applicable law, the Parties agree to reform this
Section 7(c)(iii) in a manner as is necessary to comply with such requirements and avoid such penalties. 

8.    Voluntary Termination. The Executive may voluntarily terminate the Executive’s employment for any reason
upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. In such event, after the effective date of such termination, no payments shall be due under this Agreement, except that the Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations. 

9.    Death; Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company by reason of death or,
subject to the requirements of applicable law, Disability (as defined below), upon the Executive’s date of termination or death, no payments shall be due under this Agreement, except that the Executive (or in the event of the Executive’s
death, the Executive’s executor, legal representative, administrator or designated beneficiary, as applicable), shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations. 

10.    Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for Cause upon written notice
to the Executive, in which event all payments under this Agreement shall cease, except for the Accrued Obligations. 

11.    Change of Control. 

(a)    Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason in connection with a Change of Control.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if there is both a Change of Control and the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason during the period commencing on the date that is

  
 5 

 
two months prior to (or the earlier date of execution of a definitive agreement with respect to such Change of Control) and ending twelve (12) months following such Change of Control (a
“CIC Termination”), then, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following: 

(i)    Severance benefits in an amount equal to eighteen (18) months of the Executive’s then-current Base
Salary plus an amount equal to the full amount of the Executive’s Target Incentive Bonus for one fiscal year in effect immediately prior to the Executive’ termination date, which amount shall be paid in regular payroll installments over
the applicable eighteen (18) month period following the Executive’s termination date; 
 (ii)    COBRA
continuation benefits as set forth in Section 7(c)(iv); and 
 (iii)    All outstanding equity grants held by the
Executive immediately prior to the CIC Termination which vest based upon the Executive’s continued service over time shall accelerate, become fully vested and/or exercisable, as the case may be, as of the later of (A) the date of the CIC
Termination and (B) the consummation of a Change of Control (the later of (A) or (B) the “CIC Vesting Event”). All outstanding equity grants held by the Executive immediately prior to the CIC Termination which vest based upon
attainment of performance criteria shall accelerate, become vested and/or exercisable, as the case may be, as of the date of the CIC Vesting Event at the greater of (x) the target level of performance and (y) the actual level of
performance through the CIC Vesting Event. 
 The foregoing severance benefits shall be subject to the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the Release and the Executive’s continued compliance with the provisions of Section 14 below, and Exhibit A and Exhibit B attached hereto, as applicable. 

(b)    Application of Section 280G. If any of the payments or benefits received or to be
received by the Executive (including, without limitation, any payment or benefits received in connection with a Change of Control or the Executive’s termination of employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan,
arrangement or agreement, or otherwise) (all such payments collectively referred to herein as the “280G Payment”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G and will be subject to the excise tax
imposed under Code Section 4999 (the “Excise Tax”), then the 280G Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (i) the largest portion of the 280G Payment that would result in no
portion of the 280G Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (ii) the largest portion of the 280G Payment, up to and including the total 280G Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local
employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the 280G
Payment, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the 280G Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. In making the determination described above, the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall make a reasonable determination of the value
to be assigned to any restrictive covenants in effect for the Executive, and the amount of the 280G Payment shall be reduced by the value of those restrictive covenants to the extent consistent with Code Section 280G. If a reduction in payments
or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the 280G Payment equals the Reduced Amount, the amounts payable or benefits to be 

  
 6 

 
provided to the Executive shall be reduced such that the economic loss to the Executive as a result of the “parachute payment” elimination is minimized. In applying this principle, the
reduction shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis
but not below zero. All determinations to be made under this Section 11 shall be made by an independent accounting firm, consulting firm or other independent service provider selected by the Company immediately prior to the Change of Control
(the “Firm”), which shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within ten (10) days of the Change of Control. Any such determination by the Firm shall be binding upon the
Company and the Executive. All of the fees and expenses of the Firm in performing the determinations referred to in this Section 11 shall be borne solely by the Company. 

12.    Definitions. 

(a)    Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean any of the following grounds for
termination of the Executive’s employment listed: (i) the Executive’s knowing and material dishonesty or fraud committed in connection with the Executive’s employment; (ii) theft, misappropriation or embezzlement by the
Executive of the Company’s funds and/or property; (iii) the Executive repeatedly negligently performing or repeatedly negligently failing to perform, or willfully refusing to perform, the Executive’s duties to the Company (other than
a failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness); (iv) the Executive’s conviction of or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to any felony, a crime involving fraud or misrepresentation, or any other
crime (whether or not connected with his employment) the effect of which is likely to adversely affect the Company or its affiliates; (v) a material breach by the Executive of any of the provisions or covenants set forth in this Agreement;
which causes or is reasonably likely to cause material harm to the Company; or (vi) a material breach by the Executive of the Company’s Code of Conduct. Prior to any termination for Cause pursuant to each such event listed in (i), (iii),
(v) or (vi) above, to the extent such event(s) is capable of being cured by the Executive, the Company shall give the Executive written notice thereof describing in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Cause and the Executive shall
have the opportunity to remedy same within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice. 
 (b)    Change of
Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall have the same meaning ascribed to such term under the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as in effect on the date hereof and as may be amended
from time to time, or such successor plan. 
 (c)    Disability. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Disability” shall mean the Executive has been unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s position with the Company by reason of physical or mental incapacity for a period of six consecutive months, subject to any
obligations or limitations imposed by federal, state or local laws, including any duty to accommodate Executive under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. 

(d)    Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of one or
more of the following, without the Executive’s consent: (i) 

  
 7 

 
material diminution of the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) a material change in the geographic location at which Executive must perform the Executive’s
services under this Agreement (which, for purposes of this Agreement, means relocation of the offices of the Company at which the Executive is principally employed to a location more than fifty (50) miles from the location of such offices
immediately prior to the relocation); (iii) a material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary; (iv) non-renewal of this Agreement; or (v) any action or inaction that constitutes a material
breach by the Company of a material provision of this Agreement. The Executive must provide written notice of termination for Good Reason to the Company within thirty (30) days after the event constituting Good Reason first occurs, which notice
shall state such Good Reason in reasonable detail. The Company shall have a period of thirty (30) days in which it may correct the act or failure to act that constitutes the grounds for Good Reason as set forth in the Executive’s notice of
termination. If the Company does not correct the act or failure to act, the Executive must terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason within sixty (60) days after the end of the cure period, in order for the termination to be
considered a Good Reason termination. 
 (e)    Target Incentive Bonus. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Target Incentive Bonus” shall mean the Executive’s target annual incentive bonus amount (measured at the target level, identified “goal” target or other similar target, without taking into account any incentive override for
above goal performance, or any project-specific or other non-standard incentives) as in effect under the Company’s applicable annual incentive plan for the year of termination. In the event that the
Company has notified the Executive in writing that the Executive will be eligible for a Target Incentive Bonus for the year of termination, but a plan has not yet been put into effect, the Target Incentive Bonus shall be the prior year’s target
annual incentive bonus amount. 
 13.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Executive. 

(a)    Restrictions. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that: 

(i)    There are no restrictions, agreements or understandings whatsoever to which the Executive is a party which would
prevent or make unlawful the Executive’s execution of this Agreement or the Executive’s employment hereunder, which is or would be inconsistent or in conflict with this Agreement or the Executive’s employment hereunder, or would
prevent, limit or impair in any way the performance by the Executive of the obligations hereunder; and 
 (ii)    The
Executive has disclosed to the Company all restraints, confidentiality commitments, and other employment restrictions that the Executive has with any other employer, person or entity.

provision of services to the Company, the Executive shall not breach any obligation (legal, statutory, contractual, or otherwise) to any former employer or other person, including, but not limited to, obligations relating to confidentiality and
proprietary rights. 

  
 8 

 (c)    Obligations Upon Termination. Upon and after the

the date of such delivery, (B) in the case of delivery by telecopy, on the date of such delivery, (C) in the case of delivery by nationally-recognized, overnight courier, on the Business Day following dispatch, and (D) in the case of
mailing, on the third Business Day following such mailing. As used herein, “Business Day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the state of Maine are not required to be open. 

(d)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart shall
be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile. 

(e)    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the state of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed wholly therein without regard to rules governing conflicts of law. 

(f)    Non-Exclusivity of Rights; Resignation from Boards; Clawback. 

(i)    Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in or
rights under any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify; provided, however, that if the Executive becomes entitled to and receives the severance payments described in
Sections 7 or 11 of this Agreement, the Executive hereby waives the Executive’s right to receive payments under any severance plan or similar program applicable to employees of the Company. 

(ii)    If the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, the Executive shall immediately
resign from all boards of directors of the Company, any affiliates of the Company and any other entities for which the Executive serves as a representative of the Company and any committees thereof. 

(iii)    The Executive agrees that the Executive will be subject to any compensation clawback, recoupment and
anti-hedging policies that may be applicable to the Executive as an executive of the Company, as in effect from time to time and as approved by the board of directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof. 

(g)    Benefits of Agreement; Assignment. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the 

  
 10 

 
respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Parties hereto, except that the duties and responsibilities of the Executive under this Agreement
are of a personal nature and shall not be assignable or delegable in whole or in part by the Executive. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, within fifteen (15) days of such succession, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to
perform if no such succession had taken place and the Executive acknowledges that in such event the obligations of the Executive hereunder, including but not limited to those under Sections 13 or 14, will continue to apply in favor of the successor.

 (h)    Waiver of Breach. No delay or omission by a party in exercising any right, remedy or power under this
Agreement or existing at law or in equity shall be construed as a waiver thereof, and any such right, remedy or power may be exercised by such party from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient or necessary by such party in its sole
discretion. 
 (i)    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
partially or wholly invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be modified or restricted to the extent necessary to make such provision valid, binding and enforceable, or if such
provision cannot be modified or restricted, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed to be excised from this Agreement; provided, however, that the binding effect and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement,
to the extent the economic benefits conferred upon the Parties by virtue of this Agreement remain substantially unimpaired, shall not be affected or impaired in any manner, and any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability with respect to such
provisions shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

(j)    Remedies. All remedies hereunder are cumulative, are in addition to any other remedies provided for by law
and may, to the extent permitted by law, be exercised concurrently or separately, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of such remedy or to preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Executive acknowledges
that in the event of a breach of any of the Executive’s covenants contained in Sections 13 or 14, the Company shall be entitled to immediate relief enjoining such violations in any court or before any judicial body having jurisdiction over such
a claim. 
 (k)    Survival. The respective rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall survive the
termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations. 

(l)    Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Maine state court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in the state of Maine, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any related agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that jurisdiction and venue in such courts would be proper, and hereby waive any objection
that such courts are an improper or 

  
 11 

 
inconvenient forum. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any
suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related agreement in any Maine state or federal court. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (m)    Withholding. All
payments under this Agreement shall be made subject to applicable tax withholding, and the Company shall withhold from any payments under this Agreement all federal, state and local taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any law or
governmental rule or regulation. The Executive shall bear all expense of, and be solely responsible for, all federal, state and local taxes due with respect to any payment received under this Agreement. 

(n)    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. 

(i)    This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and its corresponding regulations, to the
extent applicable. Severance benefits under the Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code under the “short term deferral” exemption, to the maximum extent applicable, and then under the “separation
pay” exemption, to the maximum extent applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code, to the extent
applicable. As used in the Agreement, the term “termination of employment” shall mean the Executive’s separation from service with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a payment. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment hereunder shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of
payments shall be treated as the right to a series of separate payments. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of the Executive’s execution of the Release, directly or indirectly, result in the Executive designating the calendar
year of payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution of the Release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year. 

(ii)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, at the time of the Executive’s termination of
employment with the Company, the Company has securities which are publicly traded on an established securities market and the Executive is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in section 409A of the Code) and it is necessary to
postpone the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable under this Agreement as a result of such termination of employment to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under section 409A of the Code, then the Company will postpone
the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Executive) that are not otherwise paid within the ‘short-term

  
 12 

 
deferral exception’ under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4), and the ‘separation pay exception’ under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), until the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six months following the Executive’s “separation of service” (as such term is defined under code section 409A
of the Code) with the Company. If any payments are postponed due to such requirements, such postponed amounts will be paid in a lump sum to the Executive on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six months following
Executive’s separation of service with the Company. If the Executive dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of postponed amount, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal
representative of the Executive’s estate within sixty (60) days after the date of the Executive’s death. 

(o)    Full Settlement. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other
action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced as a result of a mitigation duty whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. 

(p)    Indemnification. The Company hereby agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold
the Executive harmless against any costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred in connection with any proceeding arising out of, by reason of or relating to the
Executive’s good faith performance of the Executive’s duties and obligations with the Company. The Company shall also provide the Executive with coverage as a named insured under a directors and officers liability insurance policy
maintained for the Company’s directors and officers. This obligation to provide insurance and indemnify the Executive shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to proceedings or threatened proceedings based on acts
or omissions of the Executive occurring during the Executive’s employment with the Company or with any of its affiliates. Such obligations shall be binding upon the Company’s successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the
Executive’s heirs and personal representatives. 
 (q)    Government Agency Exception. Nothing in this
Agreement is intended to prohibit or restrict the Executive from: (i) making any disclosure of information required by process of law; (ii) providing information to, or testifying or otherwise assisting in any investigation or proceeding
brought by, any federal or state regulatory or law enforcement agency or legislative body, or any self-regulatory organization; or (iii) filing, testifying, participating in, or otherwise assisting in a proceeding relating to an alleged
violation of any federal, state, or municipal law relating to fraud or any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any self-regulatory organization. In addition, this Agreement does not bar the Executive’s right to file
an administrative charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) and/or to participate in an investigation by the EEOC.
