COVETRUS, INC. 2019 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN 

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 

This RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of [•] (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered
by Covetrus, Inc. (the “Company”) to [•] (the “Participant”). 
 RECITALS 

The Covetrus, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of restricted stock with
respect to common stock of the Company (“Company Stock”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Committee has decided to make this grant of restricted stock as an inducement for the Participant to promote the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders. This Agreement is made pursuant to the Plan and is subject in its entirety to all applicable provisions of the Plan. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined will have the meanings
set forth in the Plan. 
 1. Restricted Stock Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan,
the Company hereby grants the Participant [•] shares of Company Stock, subject to the restrictions set forth below and in the Plan (“Restricted Stock”). 

2. Vesting. 
 (a) Subject
to the terms of this Section 2, the shares of Restricted Stock shall become vested according to the following schedule (each, a “Vesting Date”), provided that the Participant continues to be employed by, or provide service to,
the Employer from the Date of Grant until the applicable Vesting Date: 
  

			
	 Vesting Date
	  	
Number of Vested Shares of Restricted 
Stock

	  
	  	  

	  
	  	  

	  
	  	  

 (b) The vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock shall be cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the shares
of Restricted Stock. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional shares, the number of shares that vest shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share and the fractional shares will be accumulated so that the resulting whole shares will be
included in the number of shares that become vested on the last Vesting Date. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided in a written employment
agreement or severance agreement entered into by and between the Participant and the Employer, in the event of a Change of Control before all of the Restricted Stock vests in accordance with Section 2(a) above, the provisions of the Plan
applicable to a Change of Control shall apply to the Restricted Stock, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may take such actions with respect to the vesting of the Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.

  
 1 

 3. Termination of Restricted Stock. Except as set forth in this Agreement, if the
Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Employer for any reason before the Restricted Stock is fully vested, the shares of Restricted Stock that are not then vested shall be forfeited as of the date of the Participant’s
termination of employment or service and must be immediately returned to the Company. 
 4. Issuance of Certificates and Tax
Withholding. 
 (a) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company will retain possession of certificates representing the
shares of Restricted Stock. During the Restriction Period (as defined in Section 8), the Participant shall receive any cash dividends with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, may vote the shares of Restricted Stock and may participate in
any distribution pursuant to a plan of dissolution or complete liquidation of the Company, each subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee. In the event of a dividend or distribution payable in stock or other property or a
reclassification, split up or similar event during the Restriction Period, the shares or other property issued or declared with respect to the non-vested shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same
terms and conditions relating to vesting as the shares to which they relate. 
 (b) When the Participant obtains a vested right to shares of
Restricted Stock, a certificate representing the vested shares shall be issued to the Participant, free of the restrictions under Section 2 of this Agreement. 

(c) The obligation of the Company to deliver a certificate representing the vested shares of Restricted Stock upon the vesting of the shares of
Restricted Stock shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the Committee, including such actions as Company counsel shall deem necessary or
appropriate, to comply with relevant securities laws and regulations. 
 (d) All obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be
subject to the rights of the Employer as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable. The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company
to provide for the payment of amounts required to be withheld for any withholding taxes, if applicable, with respect to the grant or vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock. At such time as the Committee may determine in its discretion under the
Plan, the Participant may elect to satisfy any withholding tax obligation of the Employer with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock by having shares withheld to satisfy an amount equal to the amount of any FICA, federal income, state, local and
other tax liabilities required by law to be withheld with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock. 
 5. Tax Consequences. The
Participant has reviewed with the Participant’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors
and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the 

  
 2 

 
Participant’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant understands that section 83 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) taxes as ordinary income the difference between the amount paid for the shares underlying the Restricted Stock and the Fair Market Value of the such shares as of the date any
restrictions on the shares lapse pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement. The Participant understands that the Participant may elect to be taxed at the time the shares of Restricted Stock are granted rather than when and as the Restriction
Period expires by filing an election under section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the Date of Grant. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit A hereto. 

THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE PARTICIPANT’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO TIMELY FILE THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b)
OF THE CODE. 
 6. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated
herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. This grant of Restricted Stock is subject to the provisions of the Plan and to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established
from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (a) rights and obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (b) the registration, qualification or
listing of the shares of Company Stock, (c) changes in capitalization of the Company, and (d) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe the grant of Restricted Stock pursuant to
the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder. 
 7. No Employment or Other
Rights. This grant of Restricted Stock shall not confer upon the Participant any right to be retained by or in the employ or service of the Employer and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the
Participant’s employment or service at any time. The right of the Employer to terminate at will the Participant’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved. 

8. Assignment and Transfers. Except as the Committee may otherwise permit pursuant to the Plan, during the period before the shares of
Restricted Stock vest in accordance with Section 2 (the “Restriction Period”), the non-vested shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, encumbered, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of by the Participant. Any attempt by the Participant to assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the shares of Restricted Stock contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar
process upon the shares of Restricted Stock, shall be null, void and without effect. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, and
affiliates. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company without the Participant’s consent. 
 9. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction.
The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any action arising
out of, or relating to, any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be brought only in the United 

  
 3 

 
States District Court for the District of Maine, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Portland, Maine, and the
jurisdiction of such court in any such proceeding shall be exclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, on and after the date a Participant receives shares of Company Stock hereunder, the Participant will be subject to the jurisdiction
provision set forth in the Company’s bylaws. 
 10. Notice. Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be
addressed to the Company in care of the General Counsel at the corporate headquarters of the Company, and any notice to the Participant shall be addressed to such Participant at the current address shown on the payroll of the Employer. Any notice
shall be delivered by hand, or enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as stated above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service or by the postal authority of the
country in which the Participant resides or to an internationally recognized expedited mail courier. 
 11. Recoupment Policy. The
Participant agrees that, subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Restricted Stock, and the right to receive and retain any Company Stock, or the amount of any gain realized or payment received as a result of any sale or other disposition
of the Company Stock, covered by this Agreement, shall be subject to rescission, cancellation or recoupment, in whole or part, if and to the extent so provided under any “clawback” or similar policy of the Company in effect on the Date of
Grant or that may be established thereafter.

COVETRUS, INC. 2019 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of [•] (the “Date of Grant”), is
delivered by Covetrus, Inc. (the “Company”) to [•] (the “Participant”). 
 RECITALS 

The Covetrus, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of restricted stock units in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Committee has decided to make this grant of restricted stock units as an inducement for the Participant to promote the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. This Agreement is
made pursuant to the Plan and is subject in its entirety to all applicable provisions of the Plan. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined will have the meanings set forth in the Plan. 

1. Grant of Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants the Participant
[•] restricted stock units, subject to the restrictions set forth below and in the Plan (the “Stock Units”). Each Stock Unit represents the right of the Participant to receive a share of common stock of the Company
(“Company Stock”), if and when the specified conditions are met in Section 3 below, and on the applicable payment date set forth in Section 5 below. 

2. Stock Unit Account. Stock Units represent hypothetical shares of Company Stock, and not actual shares of stock. The Company shall establish and
maintain a Stock Unit account, as a bookkeeping account on its records, for the Participant and shall record in such account the number of Stock Units granted to the Participant. No shares of Company Stock shall be issued to the Participant at the
time the grant is made, and the Participant shall not be, and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Stock Units recorded in the Stock Unit account. The Participant shall not have any
interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this award or the Stock Unit account established for the Participant. 
 3.
Vesting. 
 (a) The Stock Units shall become vested with respect to 100% of the Stock Units on the first anniversary of the Date of
Grant (the “Vesting Date”), provided that the Participant continues to provide service to the Company from the Date of Grant until the Vesting Date. 

(b) The vesting of the Stock Units shall be cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the Stock Units. In the event of a Change of Control
before all of the Stock Units vest in accordance with Section 3(a) above, the provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of Control shall apply to the Stock Units, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may take such actions
with respect to the vesting of the Stock Units as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan. 
 4. Termination of Stock Units. Except as set forth in
this Agreement, if the Participant ceases to provide service to the Company for any reason before all of the Stock Units vest, any unvested Stock Units shall automatically terminate and shall be forfeited as of the date of the Participant’s
termination of service. No payment shall be made with respect to any unvested Stock Units that terminate as described in this Section 4. 

 5. Payment of Stock Units and Tax Withholding. 

(a) If and when the Stock Units vest, the Company shall issue to the Participant one share of Company Stock for each vested Stock Unit, subject
to applicable tax withholding obligations. Payment of any Stock Units that vest shall be made within 30 days after the Vesting Date. 
 (b)
All obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to the rights of the Company as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable. The Participant shall be required to provide for the
payment of, any federal, state, local or other taxes with respect to the Stock Units. 
 (c) The obligation of the Company to deliver Company
Stock shall also be subject to the condition that if at any time the Board shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent
or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of shares, the shares may not be issued in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or
approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board. The issuance of shares, if any, to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement is subject to any applicable taxes and other laws or regulations of the
United States or of any state, municipality or other country having jurisdiction thereof. 
 6. No Stockholder Rights; Dividend Equivalents. Neither
the Participant, nor any person entitled to receive payment in the event of the Participant’s death, shall have any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to shares of Company Stock, including voting or dividend rights,
until certificates for shares have been issued upon payment of Stock Units. The Participant acknowledges that no election under Section 83(b) of the Code is available with respect to Stock Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee may grant to the Participant Dividend Equivalents on the shares underlying the Stock Units prior to the Vesting Date, which shall be credited to the Stock Unit account for the Participant and will be paid or distributed in in accordance
with this Agreement and the Plan. 
 7. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated
herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The grant and payment of the Stock Units are subject to the provisions of the Plan and to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan
established from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (a) rights and obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (b) the registration,
qualification or listing of the shares of Company Stock, (c) changes in capitalization of the Company and (d) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Stock Units pursuant
to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.

 8. No Service or Other Rights. The grant of the Stock Units shall not confer upon the Participant any
right to be retained by or in the service of the Company and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Participant’s service at any time. 

9. Assignment and Transfers. Except as the Committee may otherwise permit pursuant to the Plan, the rights and interests of the Participant under this
Agreement may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Participant, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any attempt by the Participant to alienate, assign,
pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Stock Units or any right hereunder, except as provided for in this Agreement, or in the event of the levy or any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interests hereby conferred,
the Company may terminate the Stock Units by notice to the Participant, and the Stock Units and all rights hereunder shall thereupon become null and void. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns
of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company without the Participant’s consent. 

10. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any action arising out of, or relating to, any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be brought only in the United States
District Court for the District of Maine, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Portland, Maine, and the jurisdiction of such court in any such proceeding shall be
exclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, on and after the date a Participant receives shares of Company Stock hereunder, the Participant will be subject to the jurisdiction provision set forth in the Company’s bylaws. 

 11. Notice. Any notice to the Company provided for in this instrument shall be addressed to the Company in care of the General Counsel at the
corporate headquarters of the Company, and any notice to the Participant shall be addressed to such Participant at the current address shown on the records of the Company. Any notice shall be delivered by hand, or enclosed in a properly sealed
envelope addressed as stated above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service or by the postal authority of the country in which the Participant resides or to an
internationally recognized expedited mail courier. 
 12. Recoupment Policy. The Participant agrees that, subject to the requirements of applicable
law, the Stock Units, and the right to receive and retain any Company Stock covered by this Agreement, shall be subject to rescission, cancellation or recoupment, in whole or part, if and to the extent so provided under any “clawback” or
similar policy of the Company in effect on the Date of Grant or that may be established thereafter. 
 13. Application of Section 409A
of the Code. This Agreement is intended to be exempt from or otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stock Units constitute “deferred compensation” under
Section 409A of the Code and the Stock Units become vested and settled upon the Participant’s termination of employment, payment with respect to the Stock Units shall be delayed for a period of six months after the Participant’s
termination of employment if the Participant is a “specified employee” as defined under Section 409A of the Code and if required pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. If payment 

  
 3 

 
is delayed, the Stock Units shall be settled and paid within thirty (30) days after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s termination of employment. Payments
with respect to the Stock Units may only be paid in a manner and upon an event permitted by Section 409A of the Code, and each payment under the Stock Units shall be treated as a separate payment, and the right to a series of installment
payments under the Stock Units shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. In no event shall the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. The Company may change or modify the terms of this
Agreement without the Participant’s consent or signature if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such change or modification is necessary for purposes of compliance with or exemption from the requirements of Section 409A of
the Code or any regulations or other guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Company may also amend the Plan or this Agreement or revoke the Stock Units to the extent permitted by the Plan.
