Employment Agreement 
 This Employment
Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of October 23, 2017, by and between Patterson Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) and Mark S. Walchirk (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.    Term. Executive’s
employment hereunder shall commence as of November 20, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), and continue thereafter for a three (3) year period until November 20, 2020, unless and until terminated earlier pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement (the “Term”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term shall automatically be extended for additional one-year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) on the
terms and conditions provided herein, unless either Party shall give the other Party no less than ninety (90) days’ written notice prior to the expiration of the Term or Renewal Term, as applicable. The Term and the Renewal Term, if
applicable, shall be collectively referred to as the “Employment Term.” 
 2.    Employment. During the
Employment Term: 
  

	 	a.	Position and Duties. Executive shall be employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer. Executive shall report to and be subject to the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors
(the “Board”). Executive shall perform the duties, undertake the responsibilities and exercise the authority customarily and reasonably performed, undertaken and exercised by persons situated in similar executive capacities.

  

	 	b.	Officer and Director Positions; Resignation. Executive shall be appointed to serve on the Board in a non-Chairman position as of the Effective Date. Thereafter, Executive
shall be nominated, and will be elected subject to shareholder approval, to serve successive terms on the Board in a non-Chairman position. Executive will be entitled to director and officer liability
insurance coverage and indemnification as provided by the Company to its other officers. At the time of his termination of employment with the Company for any reason, Executive shall resign and shall be deemed to have resigned from each officer and
director position he holds with the Company or its affiliates within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 promulgated under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), and Executive agrees that this Agreement shall constitute affirmation of such resignations. The preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Employment Term. 

  
 1 

	 	c.	Full Time; Other Activities. Excluding periods of vacation and sick leave to which Executive is entitled, Executive shall devote his full professional time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company
and shall perform Executive’s duties and responsibilities loyally, faithfully and to the best of Executive’s ability, experience and talents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Executive to
serve on one or more boards of companies that do not engage in a Competing Business (as defined below) and/or civic or charitable boards or committees, deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements and manage personal investments, so long as such
activities, individually or collectively, do not create a conflict of interest or materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that
Executive shall, prior to accepting a Board position, have first provided the Board notice and obtained its consent. 

  

	 	d.	Employment Location. Executive’s principal place of employment shall be located at the headquarters of the Company in St. Paul, Minnesota, provided that Executive shall travel and shall temporarily render
services at other locations as may reasonably be required by his duties hereunder. 

  

	 	e.	Company Policies. 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, in addition to the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement, 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. The preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Employment Term. 

3.    Annual Compensation. During the Employment Term: 

 

	 	a.	Base Salary. Executive shall be paid a base salary at an annualized rate of $850,000 (“Base Salary”), payable in equal installments pursuant to the Company’s regular payroll dates and
procedures. The Base Salary shall be reviewed on an annual basis and may be increased based on Executive’s performance and contribution to the Company or other appropriate factors, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board.

  

	 	b.	 Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation. Executive shall be
eligible to earn annual cash incentive compensation, which is payable if a threshold level of performance is achieved, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Management Incentive Compensation Plan (“MICP”). If performance at
target under the MICP is achieved, Executive’s annual cash incentive compensation shall be $437,500 for fiscal year 2018 (representing 5/12 of $1,050,000) and $1,050,000 for any full year of employment thereafter; provided that Executive shall
be eligible to earn additional cash incentive compensation for a given fiscal year if performance above target under the MICP is achieved. Annual cash incentive compensation 

  
 2 

	 	
shall be reviewed on an annual basis and may be increased based on Executive’s performance and contribution to the Company and other appropriate factors, as determined in the sole discretion
of the Board. 

  

	 	c.	Long-Term Incentives. Executive shall be eligible to receive annual long-term equity-based incentive compensation pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus
Plan”), or any successor plan thereto, and the terms of Executive’s grant agreements, which annual awards currently consist of 50% performance stock units, 25% stock options, and 25% restricted stock units, with an aggregate target
value of $1,291,666 for fiscal year 2018 (representing 5/12 of $3,100,000) and $3,100,000 for any full year of employment thereafter. On December 1, 2017, Executive shall be granted the above-referenced long-term equity-based incentive awards
for fiscal year 2018. Annual long-term incentive compensation shall be reviewed on an annual basis and may be increased based on Executive’s performance and contribution to the Company and other appropriate factors, as determined in the sole
discretion of the Board. 

 4.    Inducement Award. On December 1, 2017, Executive shall be granted a
restricted stock unit award outside the Omnibus Plan covering a number of shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of $2,000,000 based on the per-share closing price of the Company’s common
stock on December 1, 2017. Such award shall have the terms and conditions specified by the Company, and shall vest, assuming continued employment, to the extent of 50% of the award on December 1, 2018, and the remaining 50% of the award on
December 1, 2019. 
 5.    Signing Bonus. Not more than ten (10) business days following the Effective Date, the
Company shall pay Executive a lump-sum cash amount of $100,000. 
 6.    Other
Benefits. During the Employment Term: 
  

	 	a.	Capital Accumulation Plan.    Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Capital Accumulation Plan according to its terms. 

 

	 	b.	Fringe Benefits.    Subject to the terms of any applicable benefit plan or policy, Executive shall be eligible to receive such fringe benefits as are, and may be, made available to other
officers of the Company from time to time in the exclusive discretion of the Company. The Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue any benefit already provided or as may be provided in the future, with or without notice.

  

	 	c.	Relocation Benefits.    Executive shall be entitled to receive relocation benefits as consistent with the Company’s relocation benefits policy. 

 

	 	d.	Paid Personal Time Off.    Executive shall be entitled to paid time off in accordance with the Company’s paid time off policies for officers as such policies may exist from time to time;
provided that Executive shall in any event be entitled to a minimum of four (4) weeks of paid time off. 

  
 3 

	 	e.	Business Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and deductible out-of-pocket expenses which are incurred
and submitted by Executive in a timely manner in connection with the performance by Executive of duties hereunder, provided that Executive may be required to submit proper documentation in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures
in effect from time to time. The amount of reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. Reimbursement shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable,
but in no event shall any such reimbursement be paid after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred. The right hereunder to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for other
benefits. 

 7.    Clawback of Incentive Compensation. The Company may terminate Executive’s right to
the unpaid or unvested incentive compensation under Sections 3(b), 3(c), and 4, 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 Sections 8(d) through
8(h) of this Agreement; (ii) of Executive’s misconduct constituting Cause as defined in Section 9(c) 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. In the event Executive fails to make prompt reimbursement of any such incentive compensation previously paid, the Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, deduct the amount
required to be reimbursed from Executive’s compensation otherwise due under this Agreement. 
 8.    Executive
Agreements. In exchange for Executive’s employment with the Company, including the compensation set forth in this Agreement, Executive agrees as follows: 
  

	 	a.	Termination from Employment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or under applicable law, all benefits and privileges of employment end as of the close of business on the last day of the Employment
Term, subject to Executive’s earlier voluntary or involuntary termination. 

  

	 	b.	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. 

  

	 	c.	 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 

  
 4 

	 	
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. 

  

	 	d.	Non-competition and Notification. During Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of thirty-six
(36) months following the voluntary or involuntary termination of his employment for whatever reason (the “Restricted Period”), 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. and AmerisourceBergen Corp.) or any other business which offers, markets or sells any service or product that competes directly or indirectly with any services or products of the Company
(including, without limitation, McKesson Corporation and Cardinal Health, Inc.)(a “Competing Business”). 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. 

 

	 	    	 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 

  
 5 

	 	
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. 

 

	 	e.	No-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. 

 

	 	f.	No 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 8(f) 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 8(f). 

  

	 	g.	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. 

  

	 	h.	 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 

  
 6 

	 	
potential transactions; negotiations and pending negotiations; customer and prospect information including, without limitation, customer and prospect lists, purchase and order histories, and
equipment pipelines; 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. 

  

	 	i.	 Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016. Executive understands that if he breaches the provisions of
Section 8(h) 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 

  
 7 

	 	
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 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. 

  

	 	j.	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. 

  

	 	k.	 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. 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. 

  
 8 

	 	
The Parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and that this 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. 

  

	 	l.	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 8 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 8 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 8 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, including without limitation the compensation set forth herein. Executive acknowledges and agrees that these benefits constitute full and adequate
consideration for his obligations hereunder. 

  

	 	m.	Company Defined. For purposes of this Section 8, “Company” shall mean Patterson Companies, Inc., its affiliated and related entities, and any of their respective direct or indirect
subsidiaries. 

  

	 	n.	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 Sections 10 or 11 of this Agreement. 

9.    Termination of Agreement. Executive’s employment with the Company under this Agreement may be terminated prior to
expiration of the Employment Term as follows: 
  

	 	a.	By Death. Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate automatically upon the date of Executive’s death. The Company shall pay to Executive’s beneficiaries or estate, as appropriate, the Base
Salary earned through the date of death without further obligation to Executive, except as set forth in Section 9(g). 

  
 9 

	 	b.	By Disability. If, in the exclusive opinion of the Company, Executive has been unable to properly perform Executive’s essential job functions hereunder, after such reasonable accommodations as required by
law, by reason of any physical or mental incapacity that qualifies Executive for a benefit under the long-term disability plan sponsored by the Company, then Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate as consistent with applicable law on
the last day of the month in which the Company determines that Executive is disabled. The Company shall pay to Executive the Base Salary earned through the date of termination without further obligation to Executive, except as set forth in
Section 9(g). 

  

	 	c.	By Company for Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause (as defined below) at any time by giving written notice to Executive. “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 and material failure to comply with any reasonably assigned and legal directive of the Board;
(iii) Executive’s disclosure or misuse of Confidential Information; (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 material violation of any Company policy or material breach of the terms of this Agreement or any
other agreement between Executive and the Company. The Company shall pay Executive the Base Salary to which he is entitled through the end of the day of such termination without further obligation to Executive. Any termination for Cause under clause
(i), (ii), or (vii) above shall require the Company to first give Executive a reasonably detailed written notice setting forth the breach of this Agreement or any other agreement or failure, refusal, or neglect of any duties and providing
thirty (30) days to correct such deficiency, to the extent susceptible to correction. For the avoidance of doubt, mere failure of the Company to achieve any performance goals shall not constitute “Cause.” For purposes of the second
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. 

  

	 	d.	 By Company Without Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder at any time
without Cause. Executive agrees that the Company may dismiss Executive under this Section 9(d) without regard to (a) any general or specific policies (whether written or oral) of the Company relating to the employment or termination of its
employees, or (b) any statements made to 

  
 10 

	 	
Executive, whether made orally or in writing, that pertain to Executive’s relationship with the Company. In the event of such termination, the Company shall pay to Executive the Base Salary
to which he is entitled through the date of such termination without further obligation to Executive, except as expressly set forth in Section 10 or Section 11, as applicable. 

 

	 	e.	By Resignation. Executive may terminate employment with the Company at any time upon thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Company. The Company reserves the right to waive this notice
period or any portion thereof and accelerate Executive’s separation date accordingly; provided that the Company shall pay to Executive his Base Salary though the full notice period. 

 

	 	f.	By Mutual Consent. Executive and the Company may terminate this Agreement by written mutual consent pursuant to the terms as agreed upon between the Parties. 

 

	 	g.	Benefits and Incentive Compensation Upon Termination. Upon Executive’s termination of employment for any reason, Executive’s rights and interests under the Company’s benefit or incentive
compensation plans applicable to him shall be determined under the provisions of those respective plans. 

  

	 	h.	Separation from Service. References to termination of employment or similar terms hereunder shall mean a “separation of service” with the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”). 

 10.    Severance Benefits. In the event that
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated without Cause prior to expiration of the Employment Term as set forth in Section 9(d), 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 a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the sum of (i) two (2) times Executive’s then-current Base Salary and (ii) the average of Executive’s
annual cash incentive compensation paid to him under the 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 a lump sum cash payment 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 actual performance through the date of termination.

  
 11 

	 	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) 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 10(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 10(a) and 10(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 12(l) herein. 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.	Forfeiture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive materially breaches any part of Sections 8(d), 8(e), 8(f), 8(g) or 8(h) hereof or the terms of Executive’s Release following Executive’s
termination under Section 9(d), the termination automatically shall be deemed one by the Company for Cause under Section 9(c) and any severance payment already made to Executive shall be determined unearned and must be promptly repaid to
the Company. 

  

	 	f.	Unvested 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 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or any successor plan thereto, if applicable. 

11.    Change In Control. In the event that prior to expiration of the Employment Term either (x) Executive’s
employment with the Company is terminated without Cause as set forth in Section 9(d) or (y) Executive resigns his employment for Good Reason, in either case within two (2) years immediately following a Change in Control, Executive
shall, in lieu of the payment of severance benefits under Section 10 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: 

  
 12 

	 	a.	Severance Payment. Executive shall receive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the sum of (i) three (3) 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 a lump sum cash payment 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) 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 11(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 11(a) and 11(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 12(l) herein. 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
(a) if any “person” or “group” as those terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of 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, (b) 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

  
 13 

	 	
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, (c) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation (i) 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 (ii) 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 (d) 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. 

  
 14 

 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 part of Sections 8(d), 8(e), 8(f), 8(g) or 8(h) hereof or the terms of Executive’s Release following Executive’s
termination under Section 9(d), the termination automatically shall be deemed one by the Company for Cause under Section 9(c) and any severance payment already made to Executive shall be determined unearned and must be promptly repaid to
the Company.  

  

	 	h.	Accelerated Vesting. 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 Company’s 2015 Omnibus
Incentive 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 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 11(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. 

12.    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. 

 

	 	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 

  
 15 

	 	
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. 

  

	 	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: 

Mark S. Walchirk 
 1179 Sebastian
Lane 
 Walnut Creek, CA 94598 

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

If to the Company: 
 John D. Buck

 Chairman of the Board 

Patterson Companies, Inc. 
 1031

or such other address as the Company elects by giving to Executive not less than 30 days advance written notice, with a copy, which shall not
constitute notice, to: 
 Brett D. Anderson, Esq. 

Briggs and Morgan, P.A. 
 80 South
Eighth Street, Suite 2200 
 Minneapolis, MN 55402 
  

	 	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. 

  

	 	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 

  
 16 

	 	
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 8(k) 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 related agreements described herein, this Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties relating to Executive’s retention 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 

  
 17 

	 	
the meaning of Section 409A of Code. Executive’s termination of employment shall mean a “separation from service” within the 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.	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. 

  

	 	n.	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.

INDUCEMENT GRANT 
 This AGREEMENT is dated effective December 1, 2017 (the “Grant Date”) and is entered into by and between Patterson
Companies, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), and Mark S. Walchirk (the “Employee”). 
 WITNESSETH: 

 

	1.	Award of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Employee has been awarded on the date hereof [•] restricted stock units (the “Restricted Units”) valued at
$[•] for each unit. 

  

	2.	Terms and Conditions. It is understood and agreed that this Agreement and the Restricted Units awarded herein (the “Award”) is subject to the following terms and conditions. In addition, even though
this Award is not made pursuant to the Patterson Companies, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the terms and conditions of the Plan apply to this Award, to the same extent as if this Award was made pursuant to the Plan, except
that the vesting restrictions under Section 4.6 of the Plan and the Retirement provisions under Section 15.2 of the Plan shall not apply to this Award. The applicable terms of the Plan are incorporated by reference in this Agreement. The
Employee, by execution of this Agreement, acknowledges having access to a copy of the Plan. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the terms of this Agreement will control. All capitalized terms
in this Agreement not otherwise defined shall have the meaning(s) ascribed to them in the Plan. 

  

	3.	 Restrictions. The Restricted Units may not be sold, pledged or transferred, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, until the Vesting Date for the Restricted Units, or portion thereof, as provided below. On the Vesting Date(s), and provided the Employee is then employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, the Employee
shall receive the Restricted Units, or portion thereof which has vested, free of all restrictions, except with respect to any applicable securities laws restrictions relating to unregistered securities, to the extent such securities are not so
registered. 

	 	
The Restricted Units will be denominated in shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Shares”) and paid in Shares. 

 

	4.	Vesting Date. With respect to fifty percent (50%) of the Restricted Units awarded herein, the Vesting Date shall be the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date. With respect
to the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Restricted Units awarded herein, the Vesting Date shall be the two-year anniversary of the Grant Date. 

 

	5.	Forfeiture Provision. Except as otherwise provided in Section 17.3(c) of the Plan, if the Employee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason prior to the Vesting Date, the
Restricted Units shall be forfeited, and such Restricted Units shall be cancelled and become part of the authorized but unissued stock available for issuance by the Company. 

 

	6.	Limitation of Rights regarding Shares. Until issuance of the Shares, if any, the Employee will not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Units. The Employee will have no voting,
dividend, liquidation and other rights with respect to any Restricted Units granted hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Restricted Unit that vests, the Employee will be entitled to an accrual of dividend equivalents with respect to
the Restricted Units from the date of grant until the date such Restricted Units are paid. The Company will deliver, together with the Shares delivered under Section 3 of this Agreement, if any, a cash payment equal to the dividend equivalent
amount; provided, that in the case of any dividend payable in Shares, the Employee will be issued additional Restricted Units. 

  

	7.	Taxes and Withdrawals. Employee acknowledges that under current federal tax law the value of the Restricted Units will be included as ordinary income in the year the restrictions lapse. The Company is entitled to
(a) withhold and deduct from future wages of the Employee (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to the Employee from the Company), or make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy
any federal, state or local withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to the Restricted Units, or (b) require the Employee promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company at the time the restrictions
lapse. The Company may make the required withholding by canceling Restricted Units at the time the restrictions lapse. 

  

	8.	No Right to Continued Status as an Employee. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Employee any right with respect to continued status as an employee of the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with the
right of the Company to terminate the Employee’s status as an employee at any time. 

  

	9.	Notices. Any notice to the Company shall be addressed to it at its principal executive offices, located at 1031 Mendota Heights Road, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55120. Any notice to the holder shall be addressed to him
or her at current home address on record with the Company.
