FORM OF CVRs

 

2.1 Appointment of Rights
Agent. Pubco hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as the rights agent for Pubco in accordance with the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

 

2.2 No CVR Certificates.
(a) Until the earlier of the Cancelation Date, if any, and the CVR Maturity Date, (i) the CVRs will be evidenced by certificates for Pubco
Units registered in the names of the holders thereof (which certificates shall also be deemed to be certificates representing CVRs) and
not by separate CVR certificates, and CVRs associated with any uncertificated Pubco Units will be evidenced by the registration of such
Pubco Units in Pubco’s register of Pubco Units (the “Unit Register”) in the names of the holders thereof
(which registration shall also be deemed to be the registration of ownership of the associated CVRs) and not by separate CVR certificates
or registrations and (ii) the right to receive any CVR Payment will only be transferable in connection with the transfer of Pubco Common
Shares. As soon as practicable after the CVR Maturity Date, if a Shortfall Amount is owed pursuant to Section 3.1(b) or Section 3.3, Pubco

to Section 4.1.

 

2.3 Transfer of CVRs.
Until the earlier of the Cancelation Date and the CVR Maturity Date, the surrender for transfer of any certificate evidencing Pubco Units
shall constitute the transfer of the CVRs forming part of the Pubco Units represented thereby, and the registration of transfer of ownership
of any uncertificated Pubco Units shall constitute the transfer of the CVRs forming part of the Pubco Units. Any purported transfer of
any CVR or any interest therein other than pursuant to a transfer of the Pubco Unit of which such CVR forms a part shall be null and void.

 

    	 	5

ARTICLE III

 

TERMS OF CVRS

 

3.1 Achieved Value.

 

(a) In the event that the
Achieved Value is equal to or greater than the Target Value, then each CVR outstanding as of the Close of Business on the CVR Maturity
Date shall (unless otherwise canceled earlier pursuant to Article VI) be deemed immediately and automatically canceled and extinguished
and no consideration of any kind shall be delivered, and Pubco and the Rights Agent, shall have no further obligations, in respect thereof.
In addition, the provisions in Section 6.1 will apply.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

(b) In the event that the
Achieved Value is less than the Target Value, then each CVR outstanding as of the Close of Business on the CVR Maturity Date shall be
deemed immediately and automatically canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the CVR Payment. Such CVR Payment
shall be paid to the CVR Holders in accordance with Section 4.1.

 

(c) After the Close of Business
on the CVR Maturity Date, the chief financial officer of Pubco shall calculate, in accordance with this CVR Agreement, the Pubco Common
Stock VWAP, the Per Share Dividend Amount, the Achieved Value and Shortfall Amount.

(d) (1) As soon as practicable
after the Settlement Date (but in no event later than the Payment Date), Pubco shall issue to each holder of a CVR outstanding as of the
Close of Business on the CVR Maturity Date, as an adjustment to the consideration paid in the Purchaser Merger, the number of shares of
Pubco Common Stock necessary to satisfy the Shortfall Amount.

 

(2) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares or book-entry credit of shares of Pubco Common Stock shall be
issued upon the conversion of CVRs. Each former holder of a CVR who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Pubco
Common Stock shall receive in lieu thereof cash (rounded to the nearest cent).

 

(e) If, between the date of
this CVR Agreement and the Settlement Date, the shares of Pubco Common Stock or the Pubco Units shall have been changed into a different
number of shares or units or a different class of shares or units by reason of any equity dividend or distribution, subdivision, reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, equity split, reverse equity split, combination or exchange of shares or units, or any similar event
shall have occurred (an “Adjustment Event”), then the Target Value, the Achieved Value, the Pubco Common Stock
VWAP, the Share Cap and any other similar items, the calculation of which is affected by such Adjustment Event, shall be equitably adjusted,
without duplication, to provide the CVR Holders with the same economic benefit, if any, that such CVR Holders would have had the right
to receive if the Adjustment Event had not occurred.

 

3.2       Reserving
of Shares. Pubco shall set aside and reserve a sufficient number of shares of Pubco Common Stock to satisfy its obligations hereunder
(the “Reserved Shares”). The Reserved Shares represent the maximum number of shares of Pubco Common Stock that
could be distributed to CVR Holders (assuming all such CVRs are outstanding as of the CVR Maturity Date) pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

 

3.3. Change of Control.
If, prior to one day before the CVR Maturity Date, a Change of Control occurs and the consideration attributable to a share of Pubco Common
Stock in such Change of Control, including the aggregate value of any and all cash, equity securities, debt securities or other assets
(with such value being determined pursuant to the documents effecting the Change of Control or, if such documents do not clearly specify
such aggregate value, then such aggregate value as is reasonably calculated by Pubco) (the “Change of Control Value”),
when added to the Per Share Dividend Amount, has an aggregate value that:

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

(i)       is
equal to or greater than the Target Value as of the Close of Business on the date of the Change of Control, then as of the date of the
Change of Control all CVRs shall be deemed immediately and automatically cancelled, or

 

(ii)       is
less than the Target Value as of the Close of Business on the date of the Change of Control, then Pubco shall cause a portion of the consideration
to be received as a result of the Change of Control to be placed in escrow with the Rights Agent or such other Person as Pubco shall reasonably
deem appropriate (the “Escrow Agent”) for future release on or after the CVR Maturity Date (or such earlier
date as Pubco may determine) pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.3 (as the same may be reasonably modified by Pubco solely
to equitably account for any changes of the securities or other consideration held in escrow as a result of the Change of Control, so
as to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits intended to be provided pursuant to this Agreement); provided, however, that if
(A) any Change of Control occurs pursuant to this clause (ii) and (B) either the consideration for which Change of Control consists solely
of cash or such Change of Control is effectuated pursuant to a tender offer or other transaction to which Pubco is not a party, then Pubco
shall promptly issue a press release so stating and the parties hereto shall take such other actions with respect to the payment of any
CVR Payment consistent with the CVR Maturity Date being the date of such Change of Control.

 

Pubco (or any successor thereto
pursuant to a Change of Control) shall promptly, and in any event, within five Business Days following any Change of Control, provide
written notice to the Rights Agent and Sponsor of such Change of Control.

 

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENT PROCEDURES 

4.1 Payment of amounts,
if any, to Holders. (a) Prior to the Payment Date, as applicable, Pubco shall appoint a bank or trust company to act as the paying
agent (the “Paying Agent”) (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Rights Agent may serve as the Paying Agent)
which shall be responsible for paying to the CVR Maturity Date Holders any CVR Payments owed pursuant to Section 3.1. Prior to
the Payment Date, Pubco shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent (a) that number of whole uncertificated or certificated
shares representing the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock sufficient to pay the CVR Payment to all CVR Maturity Date Holders (calculated
based upon the Pubco Common Stock VWAP), plus cash in lieu of any fractional share of Pubco Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable
to a CVR Maturity Date Holder. The Paying Agent shall then deliver to each CVR Maturity Date Holder all consideration then due to such
Holder.

 

(b) Pubco will cause the Paying
Agent to execute and deliver to the Rights Agent an instrument in which the Paying Agent shall agree with the Rights Agent, subject to
the provisions of this Section 4.1, that the Paying Agent (i) will hold all sums or securities held by it for the payment of any
amount payable on the CVRs in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums or securities shall be paid to such
Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will notify the Rights Agent of the sums or securities so held and (ii) will give
the Rights Agent notice of any failure by Pubco to make any payment, or cause payment to be made, on the CVRs when the same shall be due
and payable.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

(c) Any cash or securities
deposited with the Rights Agent or the Paying Agent remaining unclaimed for one (1) year after the Payment Date shall be paid or returned,
as applicable, to Pubco on Pubco’s request, or (if then held by Pubco) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such
CVR shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to Pubco for payment thereof, and all liability of the Rights Agent
or such Rights Agent with respect to such trust money or securities shall thereupon cease.

 

4.2 Withholding.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this CVR Agreement, Pubco, the Rights Agent and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from shares of Pubco Common Stock or cash amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this CVR
Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Pubco, the
Rights Agent or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this CVR Agreement as having been paid to
such CVR Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The parties hereto agree to cooperate in good faith to reduce
or eliminate any deduction or withholding with respect to payments made pursuant to this CVR Agreement.

 

4.3 Delay in Delivery
of Pubco Common Stock. Pubco may delay the delivery of the Pubco Common Stock if there is any (A) issuance by the SEC of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement upon which any of the shares of Pubco Common Stock that may be distributed
pursuant to this Agreement are to be registered or the initiation or threat of any proceedings for that purpose, (B) delisting or pending
delisting of any shares of Pubco Common Stock that may be distributed pursuant to this Agreement by any national securities exchange or
market on which such shares are then listed, quoted or admitted to trading or any refusal to list such shares on any national securities
exchange or market on which they are intended to be listed or admitted to trading, (C) receipt by Pubco of any notification with respect
to the suspension of the qualification of shares of Pubco Common Stock that may be distributed pursuant to this Agreement for sale under
the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose or (D) Suspension
Event (collectively, the matters described in clauses (A) through (D), “Permitted Delays”).

 

4.4 Authorized Shares.
The shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable to qualifying CVR Holders on the CVR Maturity Date will, when issued, (i) be duly authorized
and validly issued, (ii) be fully paid and non-assessable, (iii) be issued in compliance with all applicable laws, (iv) not be subject
to preemptive rights or restrictions on transfer, other than applicable federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws; and
(v) assuming the accuracy of the representations of the applicable qualifying CVR Holder to be delivered to Pubco on or after the CVR
Maturity Date, the shares of Pubco Common Stock issued in satisfaction of any Preferred Return will be issued in compliance with all applicable
federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws and assuming the accuracy of the representations of the applicable qualifying
CVR Holder to be delivered to Pubco on or after the CVR Maturity Date, not be issued in violation of any options, warrants, calls, rights
(including preemptive rights), the organizational documents of Pubco, commitments or agreements to which Pubco is a party or by which
it is bound.

4.5 Registration and
Listing.

 

(a)       Subject
to Section 4.5(b), Pubco agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep a registration statement and related prospectus (or multiple
registration statements) that complies as to form and substance in all material respects with applicable SEC rules providing for the issuance
of the maximum number of shares of Pubco Common Stock that could be issued with respect to the CVRs continuously effective (including
the preparation and filing of any amendments and supplements necessary for that purpose) during any period that could reasonably be expected
to include a CVR Maturity Date until the earlier of the date and time at which all CVR Payments have been paid in full in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement or Pubco determines that no CVR Payments are issuable.

 

(b)       Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 4.5(a), Pubco shall be entitled to postpone the effectiveness of any registration statement, and the issuance
of any shares of Pubco Common Stock in connection with the issuance of any Preferred Returns, if the negotiation or consummation of a
transaction by Pubco or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which such negotiation, consummation or event, the Board
of Directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by Pubco in any such registration
statement of material information that Pubco has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which
in any such registration statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors, upon the advice of legal
counsel, to cause any such registration statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a
 “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Pubco may not delay or suspend any registration statements on more
than two occasions or for more than 60 consecutive calendar days, or more than 90 total calendar days, in each case during any 12-month
period.

 

(c)       The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect and maintain the listing of the CVRs on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or another
national securities exchange until this Agreement has been terminated.

 

4.6 Tax Treatment.
Except to the extent any portion of a CVR Payment is required to be treated as imputed interest pursuant to applicable Tax law or as otherwise
required by applicable Tax law, the parties hereto intend to treat the CVR Payments for all Tax purposes as the right to receive additional
shares of Pubco Common Stock received pursuant to the Purchaser Merger to the extent the CVRs were obtained in connection with the Purchaser
Merger. Pubco shall report imputed interest on the CVRs as required by applicable law.

 

ARTICLE V

NO VOTING, DIVIDENDS OR INTEREST 

 

5.1 No Voting Rights.
No CVR Holder shall, solely by virtue of his ownership of CVRs, be entitled to any rights of a holder of shares of Pubco Common Stock,
either at law or in equity (other than in respect of its rights as a holder of the Pubco Unit of which the CVR forms a part), and the
rights of the CVR Holders are limited to those contractual rights expressed in this CVR Agreement.

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

5.2 No Joint Venture
Relationship. The CVR Holders, by acceptance thereof, agree that no joint venture, partnership or other fiduciary relationship

Trading Days equals or exceeds the Cancelation Value (such date, the “Cancelation Date”).

to take any action hereunder, the Rights Agent may rely upon an officer’s certificate delivered by Pubco, which certificate shall
be full authorization and protection to the Rights Agent, and the Rights Agent shall, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or
willful misconduct on its part, incur no liability and be held harmless by Pubco for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted
to be taken by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate;

 

    	 	11	 

     

    

 

(c)              
the Rights Agent may engage and consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any opinion of

in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

 

(d)

respect to same), but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by Pubco or any other applicable party
only;

 

(g)              
the Rights Agent will have no liability and shall be held harmless by Pubco in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the

of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement;

 

(h)

or expense arising out of or in connection with Rights Agent’s duties under this Agreement, including the reasonable costs and expenses
of defending Rights Agent against any claims, charges, demands, suits or loss, unless such loss has been determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be a result of Rights Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful or intentional misconduct; or is a result of
the Rights Agent not adhering to the provisions of any Tax withholding made or not made by the Rights Agent (or anyone on its behalf);

 

(i)                
Pubco agrees to pay the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent in connection with this Agreement as agreed upon in writing by the
Rights Agent and Pubco on or prior to the date hereof and to reimburse the Rights Agent for all Taxes and governmental charges, reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Rights Agent in the execution of this Agreement (other than Taxes imposed on or

no provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if there shall be reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it;

 

    	 	12	 

     

    

 

(k)

the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for Pubco or any other Person;

 

(m)            
the Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either
itself or by or through its attorney or agents; and

 

(n)              
except instructions to the Rights Agent as contemplated by this Agreement, the Rights Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor
chargeable with, knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or
document to which it is not a party, including, without limitation, the Merger Agreement, nor shall the Rights Agent be required to determine
if any person or entity has complied with any such agreements, instruments or documents, nor shall any additional obligations of the Rights
Agent be inferred from the terms of such agreements, instruments or documents even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement.

 

7.3 Resignation and
Removal; Appointment of Successor.

 

(a)              
The Rights Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Pubco and Sponsor specifying a date when such resignation
will take effect, which notice will be sent at least 60 days prior to the date so specified, but in no event will such resignation become
effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed. Pubco has the right to remove Rights Agent at any time by specifying a date
when such removal will take effect, but no such removal will become effective until a successor Rights Agent (that is reasonably agreeable
to Pubco and Sponsor) has been appointed. Notice of such removal will be given by Pubco to Rights Agent, which notice will be sent at
least 60 days prior to the date so specified.

 

(b)              
If the Rights Agent provides notice of its intent to resign, is removed pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or becomes incapable
of acting, Pubco will as soon as is reasonably possible appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Pubco shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 60 days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified
in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then the incumbent Rights Agent may apply
to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. The successor Rights Agent so appointed will, forthwith
upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 7.4, become the successor Rights Agent.

 

(c)              
Pubco will give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Rights Agent and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent
to the CVR Holders, which may be effected by any public filing or press release made or issued, as applicable, by Pubco, or by any other
means reasonably anticipated to provide notice thereof to the CVR Holders. Each notice will include the name and address of the successor
Rights Agent. If Pubco fails to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent in accordance
with Section 7.4, the successor Rights Agent will cause the notice to be given at the expense of Pubco.

 

    	 	13	 

     

    

 

7.4 Acceptance of Appointment
by Successor. Every successor Rights Agent appointed pursuant to Section 7.3(b) hereunder will execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Pubco, Sponsor and the retiring Rights Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement,
and thereupon such successor Rights Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent. On request of Pubco or the successor Rights Agent, the retiring Rights Agent will execute
and deliver an instrument transferring to the successor Rights Agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Rights Agent.

under this Agreement to the CVR Holders and each other party hereto not executing the same, which notice may be effected by any public
filing or press release made or issued, as applicable, by Pubco, or by any other means reasonably anticipated to provide notice thereof

in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in

 Exhibit 10.2 

Inducement, Severance & Change in Control Agreement 

This Inducement, Severance & Change in Control Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of December 13, 2022,
by and between Patterson Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) and Kevin M. Barry (referred to herein as “Executive”) (the Company and Executive are collectively referred to herein as “Parties,” and each
a “Party”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive to render services to the Company on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, Executive desires to be employed by the Company on such terms and conditions; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of
which is hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed: 
 1. Severance Benefits. In the event that Executive’s employment with the
Company is terminated by the Company without Cause as defined in Section 1(g), Executive shall, in lieu of any other cash severance benefits under any other Company agreement, plan, policy or program, be entitled to severance benefits as
follows: 
 a. Severance Payment. Executive shall receive cash in an amount equal to the sum of (i) one-and-one-half (1.5) times Executive’s then-current base salary and (ii) the average of Executive’s annual
cash incentive compensation paid to him under the Company’s Management Incentive Compensation Plan (“MICP”) (or any other similar annual non-equity compensation plan of the Company) for
each of the last three full fiscal years (or such lesser number of years for which Executive was employed by the Company) prior to the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated. In the event that Executive was not employed by the
Company for the whole of any such fiscal year, but received pro-rated cash incentive compensation for such fiscal year, such amount shall be annualized for computation purposes. 

b. Prorated Non-Equity Incentive Compensation. Executive shall receive cash in
an amount equal to his prorated through the date of termination annual cash incentive compensation under the MICP (or any other similar annual non-equity incentive compensation plan of the Company) for the
fiscal year in which termination occurs based on actual performance for the fiscal year through the date of termination.  

c. Continued Eligibility for Benefits Programs. Medical/Dental/ Vision/Life insurance coverage will terminate following
the last day of Executive’s employment. However, Executive may elect to continue coverage for himself and his eligible dependents by electing continuation coverage under the federal law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
(“COBRA”), or applicable state law. If Executive timely elects COBRA continuation, the Company will pay for his COBRA premiums until the earlier of: (i) eighteen (18) months following the termination of Executive’s
employment, pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan, (ii) the date Executive is eligible for such coverage from another employer, or (iii) such time as the reimbursement would result in the Company being subject to an excise tax for a
discriminatory health insurance benefit based on the Company’s reasonable interpretation of applicable law. 

 d. Release Agreement. Executive shall not receive the severance
benefits set forth in Sections 1(a)-(c) unless he has first signed and returned to the Company, and not rescinded pursuant to the terms thereof, a separation agreement containing a release of claims in a reasonably customary form that is provided by
and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Release”). The severance payments in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) will be paid in equal monthly installments over the 18-month period following
Executive’s termination beginning on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination, provided that all statutory rescission periods contained in the Release have expired without revocation, and subject to provisions of
Section 5(l). Where the period available to execute (and to not revoke) the Release spans more than one calendar year, the payment shall not be made until the second calendar year as required by the applicable terms of this Agreement and
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
 e. Forfeiture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive materially breaches any of his obligations in Section 4 hereof or the terms of the Release, the termination automatically shall be deemed one by the Company for Cause and any severance payment already
made to Executive shall be determined unearned and must be promptly repaid to the Company. 
 f. Unvested Equity
Interests. All unvested equity interests held by Executive as of the date of his termination shall terminate and be forfeited, unless those unvested grants shall be deemed to have vested in their entirety as of Executive’s termination
pursuant to the terms of the applicable grant agreement and the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), or any successor plan thereto, if applicable. 

g. Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) Executive’s willful or
repeated and material failure or refusal to perform his reasonably assigned and lawful duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or disability), or serious neglect or willful and material
misconduct in the performance of his reasonably assigned and lawful duties; (ii) Executive’s willful failure to comply with any reasonably assigned and legal directive of the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”); (iii) Executive’s disclosure or misuse of Confidential Information as defined in Section 4(g); (iv) Executive’s engagement in illegal conduct, embezzlement, misappropriation, fraud, dishonesty or breach of
fiduciary duty, resulting in loss, damage or injury to the Company; (v) Executive’s conduct related to his employment for which either criminal or civil penalties against Executive or the Company may be sought; (vi) Executive’s
conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any crime (whether or not involving the Company) that constitutes a felony in the jurisdiction involved; or (vii) Executive’s violation of any Company policy or breach of the terms of
this Agreement or any other agreement between Executive and the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, mere failure of the Company to achieve any performance goals shall not constitute “Cause.” For purposes of the first sentence of this
paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part shall be considered willful unless done or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith or without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.

  
 2 

 2. Change In Control. In the event that (x) Executive’s employment with the
Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or (y) Executive resigns his employment for Good Reason as defined in Section 2(f), in either case within two (2) years immediately following a Change in Control as defined in
Section 2(e), Executive shall, in lieu of the payment of severance benefits under Section 1 of this Agreement or any other cash severance benefits under any other Company agreement, plan, policy or program, be entitled to severance
benefits as follows: 
 a. Severance Payment. Executive shall receive cash in an amount equal to the sum of
(i) two (2) times Executive’s then-current base salary and (ii) Executive’s target annual cash incentive compensation under the MICP (or any other similar annual non-equity compensation
plan of the Company) for the fiscal year in which Executive’s employment is terminated. 
 b. Prorated Non-Equity Incentive Compensation. Executive shall receive cash in an amount equal to his prorated annual cash incentive compensation under the MICP (or any other similar annual
non-equity incentive compensation plan of the Company) for the fiscal year in which termination occurs based on Executive’s target award through the date of termination. 

c. Continued Eligibility for Benefits Programs. Medical/Dental/ Vision/Life insurance coverage will terminate following
the last day of Executive’s employment. However, Executive may elect to continue coverage for himself and his eligible dependents by electing continuation coverage under the federal law, COBRA, or applicable state law. If Executive timely
elects COBRA continuation, the Company will pay for his COBRA premiums until the earlier of: (i) eighteen (18) months following the termination of Executive’s employment, pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan, (ii) the date
Executive is eligible for such coverage from another employer, or (iii) such time as the reimbursement would result in the Company being subject to an excise tax for a discriminatory health insurance benefit based on the Company’s
reasonable interpretation of applicable law. 
 d. Release Agreement. Executive shall not receive the severance
benefits set forth in Sections 2(a)-(c) unless he has first signed and returned to the Company, and not rescinded pursuant to the terms thereof, the Release. The severance payments in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) will be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth
(60th) day following Executive’s termination, provided that all statutory rescission periods contained in the Release have expired without revocation, and subject to provisions of Section 5(l). Where the period available to execute (and to
not revoke) the release spans more than one calendar year, the payment shall not be made until the second calendar year as required by the applicable terms of this Agreement and Section 409A of the Code.

 e. Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change
in Control” shall mean: (i) if any “person” or “group” as those terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or any successors
thereto, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor thereto), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more
of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities, provided, that the acquisition of additional securities by any person or group that owns 50% or more of the voting power prior to such acquisition of additional
securities shall not be a Change in Control; (ii) during any 12-month period, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new directors whose election by the Board or
nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by at least a majority of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election was previously so approved, cease for any
reason to constitute a majority thereof; (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation (x) which would result in all or a portion of
the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of
the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or (y) by which the corporate existence of the Company is not affected and following which the Company’s chief
executive officer and directors retain their positions with the Company (and constitute at least a majority of the Board) and such merger or consolidation is consummated; or (iv) the shareholders of the Company approve an agreement for the sale
or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company’s assets and such sale or disposition is consummated. 

f. Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean any refusal to accept:
(i) a material diminution in Executive’s base compensation, which for purposes of this Agreement will mean a reduction of 10% or more in Executive’s base salary plus MICP target; (ii) discontinuation of eligibility to participate
in a material long-term cash or equity award or equity-based grant program (or in a comparable substitute program) in which other officers of the Company are generally eligible to participate; (iii) any material diminution of authority, duties
or responsibilities, including any change in the authority, duties or responsibilities of Executive that is inconsistent in any material and adverse respect with Executive’s then-current position(s), authority, duties and responsibilities with
the Company or any subsidiary; provided, however, that “Good Reason” will not be deemed to exist pursuant to this clause (iii) solely on account of the Company no longer being a publicly traded entity or solely on account of a change
in the reporting relationship of Executive; or (iv) a material adverse change in the geographic location at which the Company requires Executive to be based as compared to the location where Executive was based immediately prior to the change,
which for purposes of this Agreement will mean: (x) a relocation that results in an increase in the commuting distance from Executive’s principal residence to his new job location of more than 50 miles, or (y) a relocation that
requires Executive to relocate his principal residence. 

  
 4 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, “Good Reason” will not be
deemed to exist as a result of any of the actions stated in clauses (i) or (ii) above to the extent that such actions are in connection with an across-the-board
change or termination that equally affects at least ninety percent (90%) of all officers of the Company, and an act or omission will not constitute a “Good Reason” unless Executive gives written notice to the Company of the existence of
such act or omission within ninety (90) days of its initial existence, the Company fails to cure the act or omission within thirty (30) days after the notification, and actual termination of employment occurs within two (2) years of
the initial existence of the act or omission. 
 g. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive materially
breaches any of his obligations in Section 4 hereof or the terms of the Release, the termination automatically shall be deemed one by the Company for Cause and any severance payment already made to Executive shall be determined unearned and
must be promptly repaid to the Company. 
 h. Unvested Equity Interests. All unvested equity interests held by
Executive as of the date of his termination shall be governed by the terms of the applicable grant agreement and the Omnibus Plan, or any successor plan thereto, if applicable. 

i. Section 280G. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, under no circumstances
shall the payments made to Executive pursuant to Section 2 result in an “excess parachute payment” as defined under Section 280G of the Code. To the extent that such payments could result in an “excess parachute
payment,” the payments shall be reduced to avoid such result, the manner of which reduction shall be in the discretion of the Board. Any amounts reduced pursuant to this Section 2(i) shall be deemed forfeited by Executive, and Executive
shall have no authority whatsoever to determine the order in which benefits under this Agreement shall be so reduced. 
 3. One-Time Award. On December 15, 2022, Executive shall be granted a restricted stock unit award under the Omnibus Plan. The restricted stock unit award will cover a number of shares of the Company’s
common stock with a value of $260,000 based on the per-share closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Such award will vest, assuming continued employment, to the extent of one-third of the award on the first anniversary of the date of grant, one-third of the award on the second anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining one-third of the award on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The award shall have the terms and conditions specified by the Company. 

4. Executive Agreements. In exchange for the severance benefits set forth in Sections 1(a)-(c) and Sections 2(a)-(c) and the inducement
award set forth in Section 3, Executive agrees as follows: 
 a.
Non-Encouragement Provision. Executive agrees that during his employment with the Company and thereafter he will not instigate, cause, advise or encourage any other persons, groups of persons,
corporations, partnerships or any other entity to file litigation against the Company. 

  
 5 

 b. Cooperation in Transitional Matters. After Executive’s
employment ends, Executive agrees to make himself reasonably available to the Company thereafter without additional compensation to answer questions, provide information and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Company in any pending or
transitional matters on which Executive has worked or about which Executive may have personal knowledge. Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company, including its attorneys, managers and accountants, in connection with any
transitional matters, potential or actual litigation, or other real or potential disputes, which directly or indirectly involve the Company. 

c. Non-competition and Notification. During Executive’s employment with the
Company and for the Restricted Period as defined below, Executive agrees not to directly or indirectly engage in, be interested in, or be employed by, anywhere in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or any additional geographic markets the
Company enters, any direct competitor of the Company (including, without limitation, Henry Schein, Inc., Benco Dental Supply Company, Burkhart Dental Supply Co., Amazon.com, Inc., MWI Veterinary Supply, Inc., AmerisourceBergen Corp., and Covetrus,
Inc.) or any other business which offers, markets or sells any service or product that competes indirectly with any services or products of the Company (a “Competing Business”). The “Restricted Period” shall be twenty four
(24) months following the voluntary or involuntary termination of Executive’s employment for whatever reason. By way of example, but not by way of limitation, any service or product that competes directly or indirectly with any services or
products of the Company includes dental services, dental products, animal health services and animal health products. For purposes of this provision, Executive shall be deemed to be interested in a Competing Business if he is engaged or interested
in such Competing Business as a stockholder, director, officer, employee, salesperson, sales representative, agent, partner, individual proprietor, consultant, or otherwise, but not if such interest in the Competing Business is limited solely to the
ownership of 2% or less of the equity or debt securities of any class of a corporation whose shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange or traded in the
over-the-counter market. 
 In the event that
Executive obtains new employment prior to expiration of the Restricted Period, Executive shall: (i) disclose this Agreement to his new employer prior to beginning the employment; and (ii) notify the Company of the identity of his new
employer within seven (7) days after accepting any offer of employment by sending a written notification to the Company. 

Executive agrees that the foregoing restrictions are in consideration of the consideration offered in this Agreement, and that
the restrictions are reasonable and necessary for the purpose of protecting the Company’s legitimate business interests. Executive agrees that the scope of the business of the Company is independent of the location (such that it is not
practical to limit the restrictions contained herein to a specific state, city or part thereof) and therefore acknowledges and agrees that the geographic scope of this restriction throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom is
reasonable and necessary. 

  
 6 

 Executive further agrees that the remedy of damages at law for breach by
Executive of any of the covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement is an inadequate remedy. In recognition of the irreparable harm that a violation by Executive of the covenants and obligations in this Agreement would cause the Company,
or any company with which the Company has a business relationship, Executive agrees that if he breaches or proposes to breach, any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an
injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach or proposed breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company, it being understood by Executive and the Company that both damages and equitable relief
shall be proper modes of relief and are not to be considered alternative remedies. 
 d.
Non-Solicitation of Customers, Suppliers, or Distributors. Executive agrees that during his employment with the Company and during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, whether
individually or as an owner, agent, representative, consultant or employee, participate or assist any individual or business entity to solicit or encourage any customer, supplier, or distributor of the Company to (i) do business that could be
done with the Company with any person or entity other than the Company or (ii) terminate or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with the Company. 

e. Non-Solicitation of Employees. Executive agrees that during his employment
with the Company and during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, whether individually or as an owner, agent, representative, consultant or employee, participate or assist any individual or business entity to solicit,
employ or conspire with others to employ any of the Company’s employees. The term “employ” for purposes of this Section 4(e) means to enter into an arrangement for services as a full-time or part-time employee, independent
contractor, agent or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any general advertisement or public solicitation that is not directed specifically to employees of the Company shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4(e). 

f. Non-Disparagement Provision. Executive agrees that during his employment with
the Company and thereafter, Executive will not make any disparaging or damaging statements about the Company, its products, services or management, whether or not libelous or defamatory, provided that this provision shall not affect Executive’s
right to provide truthful information to any governmental entity. Similarly, the Board shall not at any time, whether during or after the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, make any disparaging or damaging statements
concerning Executive whether or not libelous or defamatory, provided that this provision shall not affect the Company’s right to provide truthful information to any governmental entity. 

g. Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with the Company, he will have
access to Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” includes but is not limited to information not generally known to the public, in spoken, printed, electronic or any other form or medium relating directly or indirectly
to: business processes, practices, policies, plans, documents, operations, services and strategies; contracts, transactions, and potential transactions; negotiations and pending negotiations; customer and prospect information including, without
limitation, customer and prospect lists, purchase and order histories, and equipment pipelines; 

  
 7 

 
proprietary information, trade secrets and intellectual property; supplier and vendor agreements, strategies, plans and information; financial information and results; legal strategies and
information; marketing plans and strategies; pricing plans and strategies; personnel information and staffing and succession planning practices and strategies; internal controls and security policies, strategies and procedures; and/or other
confidential business information that Executive will learn, receive or use at any time during his employment with the Company, whether or not such information has been previously identified as confidential or proprietary. 

Confidential Information may be contained in written materials, such as documents, files, reports, manuals, drawings, diagrams,
blueprints and correspondence, as well as computer hardware and software, and electronic or other form or media. It may also consist of unwritten knowledge, including ideas, research, processes, plans, practices and
know-how. 
 Confidential Information does not include information that:
(i) is in or becomes part of the public domain or information generally known in the trade, other than as a result of a disclosure by or through Executive in violation of this Agreement or by a third-party in breach of a confidentiality
obligation; (ii) information that Executive acquires or independently develops completely independently of his employment with the Company; (iii) is lawfully disclosed to Executive by a third party provided the third party did not receive
it due to a breach of this Agreement or any other obligation of confidentiality; (iv) was lawfully in Executive’s possession prior to providing services for the Company, provided that said information was not obtained from the Company; or
(v) is required to be disclosed by law or the order of any court or governmental agency, or in any litigation or similar proceeding; provided that prior to making any such required disclosure, Executive shall notify the Company in sufficient
time to permit the Company to seek an appropriate protective order. 
 Executive agrees that he shall not, at any time during
his employment with the Company or thereafter, disclose or otherwise make available Confidential Information to any person, company or other party. Further, Executive shall not use or disclose any Confidential Information at any time without the
Company’s prior written consent. This Agreement shall not limit any obligations Executive may have under any other employee confidentiality agreement with the Company or under applicable law nor shall it limit his right to provide truthful
information to any governmental agency, including, for example, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as part of a complaint or investigation proceeding conducted by the SEC. 

h. Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016. Executive understands that if he breaches the provisions of Section 4(g)
above, Executive may be liable to the Company under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”). Executive further understands that by providing him with the following notice, the Company may recover from Executive its
attorney fees and exemplary damages if it brings a successful claim against Executive under the DTSA: Under the DTSA, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade
secret that is made: (a)(i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local governmental 

  
 8 

 
official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (b) in a complaint or other
document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Without limiting the foregoing, if Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the
trade secret to his attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Executive (i) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (ii) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court
order. 
 i. Return of Documents, Materials, and Property. Executive agrees that at the end of his employment with the
Company, or at the Company’s earlier request, he will return all originals and copies of any documents, materials or other property of the Company and the Company’s customers, whether generated by Executive or any other person on his
behalf or on behalf of the Company or its customers. This includes all copies and all materials on paper, on disk, on a computer, or in any computerized or electronic medium. All documents, files, records, reports, policies, training materials,
communications materials, lists and information, e-mail messages, products, keys and access cards, cellular phones, computers, other materials, equipment, physical and electronic property, whether or not
pertaining to Confidential Information, which were furnished to Executive by the Company, purchased or leased at the expense of the Company, or produced by the Company or Executive in connection with Executive’s employment will be and remain
the sole property of the Company, except as otherwise provided herein. All copies of Company property, whether in tangible or intangible form, are also the property of the Company. Executive agrees that he will not retain any paper or electronic
copies of these documents and materials. 
 Executive agrees that, following the termination of his employment with the
Company, the Company may open all mail (including but not limited to regular mail, electronic mail and voicemail) delivered to the Company and addressed to him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not open any mail (including but not
limited to regular mail, electronic mail and voicemail) delivered to the Company and addressed to Executive if it is readily apparent that such mail is a personal item, in which case the Company will promptly forward such mail to Executive without
opening it; provided, however, that this provision does not create any reasonable expectation of privacy on behalf of Executive in his use of the Company’s communications and technology systems. 

j. Class Action Waiver and Arbitration Agreement. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of,
relating to or in connection with this Agreement, including the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall be finally resolved by arbitration, other than claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment according to the federal End Forced
Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Claims Act. The tribunal shall have the power to rule on any challenge to its own jurisdiction or to the validity or enforceability of any portion of the agreement to arbitrate. The Parties agree
to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and that the agreement to arbitrate does not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. The arbitral tribunal may
not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining
portions of the arbitration agreement will remain in force. 

  
 9 

 k. Reasonable and Necessary. Executive acknowledges that he is a key
employee of the Company and that Executive participates in and contributes to key phases of the Company’s operations. Executive agrees that the covenants provided for in this Section 4 are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company
and its confidential information, goodwill and other legitimate business interests and, without such protection, the Company’s customer and client relationships and competitive advantage would be materially adversely affected. Executive agrees
that the provisions of this Section 4 are an essential inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and they are in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any similar or related covenants with the Company to which Executive may be
bound. Executive further acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 4 shall not impose an undue hardship on him since he has general business skills which may be used in industries other than that in which the Company conducts
its business and shall not deprive Executive of his livelihood. In exchange for Executive agreeing to be bound by these reasonable and necessary covenants, the Company is providing Executive with the benefits as set forth in this Agreement.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that these benefits constitute full and adequate consideration for his obligations hereunder. 

l. Company Defined. For purposes of this Section 4, “Company” shall mean Patterson Companies,
Inc., its affiliated and related entities, and any of their respective direct or indirect subsidiaries. 
 m.
Survival. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall remain bound by the provisions of this Agreement which specifically relate to periods, activities or obligations upon or
subsequent to the termination of his employment, irrespective of whether Executive is eligible for severance benefits under Section 1 or 2 of this Agreement. 

n. Company Policies. Executive agrees that during his employment with the Company and thereafter, Executive shall be
subject to and shall abide by each of the personnel policies applicable to officers of the Company, including without limitation any policy restricting pledging and hedging investments in Company equity by Company officers, and any policy the
Company adopts regarding recovery of incentive compensation (sometimes referred to as “clawback”) and any additional clawback provisions as required by law and applicable stock exchange listing rules. 

5. General Provisions. This Agreement is subject to the following general provisions: 

a. Consideration. Executive acknowledges that the consideration offered in this Agreement is good and valuable
consideration in exchange for the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 10 

 b. Effect of Breach. Executive agrees that it would be impossible to
measure in money the damages caused by the irreparable harm the Company would suffer for any breach by him of the terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, Executive agrees that if the Company institutes any action or proceeding to enforce the terms of
this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual damages, Executive hereby
waives to the extent permitted by law the claim or defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law, and Executive shall not argue in any such action or proceeding that any such remedy at law exists. This provision with respect to equitable
relief shall not, however, diminish the right of the Company to claim and recover damages in addition to injunctive relief. Executive agrees that he shall reimburse the Company for its attorney fees and costs incurred in seeking to enforce the terms
of this Agreement. 
 c. Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be deemed to
have been delivered on the date following the day the notice is deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and addressed as follows: 

If to Executive: 
 Kevin Barry

 4701 Upper Terrace 
 Edina,
MN 55435 
 or such other address as Executive elects by giving to the Company not less than 30 days advance written notice. 

If to the Company: 
 Donald J.
Zurbay 
 President and Chief Executive Officer 

Patterson Companies, Inc. 
 1031
Mendota Heights Road 
 St. Paul, MN 55120 

or such other address as the Company elects by giving to Executive not less than 30 days advance written notice. 

d. Conflicting Agreements. Executive hereby represents that Executive is not subject to any non-competition agreement, non-disclosure agreement, or any other kind of agreement or duty that would prohibit or restrict Executive from vigorously and fully performing
services for the Company. 
 e. Waiver. The waiver by either Party of the breach or nonperformance of any provision of
this Agreement by the other Party will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any future breach or nonperformance under any such provision of this Agreement or, in the case of the Company, any similar agreement with any other employee. 

  
 11 

 f. Severability and Blue Penciling. To the extent that any provision
of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable as written, the validity and enforceability of the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected. If any particular provision of this Agreement shall be
adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the Company and Executive specifically authorize the tribunal making such determination to edit the invalid or unenforceable provision to allow this Agreement, and the provisions thereof, to be valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by law or public policy. Executive expressly stipulates that this Agreement shall be construed in a manner which renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express
terms) possible under applicable law. 
 g. Enforceable Contract. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall be
deemed to have been entered into and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflicts of law provisions. If any part of this Agreement is construed to be in violation of the law, such
part will be modified to achieve the objective of the Parties to the fullest extent permitted and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

h. Exclusivity of and Consent to Jurisdiction. Subject to the arbitration provisions of Section 4(j) of this
Agreement, Executive and the Company agree that the courts of Minnesota shall have exclusive judicial jurisdiction over disputes concerning this Agreement. The Parties specifically consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of
Minnesota. Accordingly, Executive and the Company submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for purposes of this Agreement. 

i. Counterparts. The Parties agree that this Agreement may be executed in counterparts and each executed counterpart
shall be as effective as a signed original. Photographic or faxed copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose. 

j. Successors and Assigns. Executive may not assign this Agreement to any third party for whatever purpose and any such
purported assignment shall be void. The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor or assign. 
 k. Entire
Agreement. Except for the agreements described herein, this Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties relating to Executive’s employment by the Company and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether
written or oral, between the Parties relating to such employment. This Agreement may not be amended or changed except in writing executed by both Parties. 

l. Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Executive and
the Company agree that the payments hereunder shall be exempt from, or satisfy the applicable requirements, if any, of Section 409A of the Code in a manner that will preclude the imposition of penalties described in Section 409A of the
Code. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to satisfy the short-term deferral rule or separation pay exception within the meaning of Section 409A of Code. Executive’s termination of employment shall mean a “separation
from service” within the 

  
 12 

 
meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall, to the maximum extent possible, be administered, interpreted and construed in a
manner consistent with Section 409A of Code; provided, that in no event shall the Company have any obligation to indemnify Executive from the effect of any taxes under Section 409A of the Code. 

If any payment or benefit provided to Executive in connection with his termination of employment is determined to constitute
“nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i) of the Code, then such payment or
benefit shall not be paid until the first payroll date to occur following the six-month anniversary of the termination or, if earlier, on Executive’s death (the “Specified Employee Payment
Date”). The aggregate of any payments that would otherwise have been paid before the Specified Employee Payment Date shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum on the Specified Employee Payment Date and thereafter, any remaining payments
shall be paid without delay in accordance with their original schedule. 
 m. Clawback. The Company may terminate
Executive’s right to the unvested equity compensation under Section 3, and may require reimbursement to the Company by Executive of any incentive compensation previously paid or vested within the prior
12-month period pursuant to any applicable incentive compensation plan or award agreement, in the event: (i) of a willful or reckless breach by Executive of his obligations under Section 4 of this
Agreement; (ii) of Executive’s misconduct constituting Cause as defined in Section 1(g) of this Agreement; or (iii) Executive is obligated to disgorge to or reimburse the Company for such compensation paid or payable to Executive
by reason of application of Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any other applicable law or regulation requiring recapture, reimbursement or
disgorgement of incentive-based pay. 
 n. Withholding. The Company shall withhold from the compensation payable to
Executive hereunder all appropriate deductions necessary for the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations under federal, state and local income and employment tax laws. 

o. Acknowledgement. Executive affirms that he has read this Agreement and that the provisions of this Agreement are
understandable to him and Executive has entered into this Agreement freely and voluntarily.
