Re: Amendment No. 1 to Contribution and Distribution Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to Merger Agreement

Dear Sir and/or Madame:

Reference is made to (i) that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. (“Xxxxx Xxxxxx”), HS Spinco, Inc. (“Spinco”), HS Merger Sub, Inc., Direct Vet Marketing, Inc. (“Voyager”), and Shareholder Representative Services, LLC, solely in its capacity as the Voyager Stockholders’ Representative (the “Voyager Stockholders’ Representative”), and (ii) that certain Contribution and Distribution Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2018 (the “CDA”), by and among Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Spinco, Voyager and, solely for purposes of certain articles thereto, the Voyager Stockholders’ Representative. For purposes of this letter agreement (this “Letter”), capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Letter shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement or in the CDA, as applicable.

This Letter shall amend each of the Merger Agreement and the Contribution and Distribution Agreement in the manner and to the extent set forth below, and shall constitute Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the CDA for such purposes.

In consideration of the premises and mutual agreements and covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties to this Letter agree as follows:

1. To amend the CDA as follows:

a. The definition of “Spinco Target Working Capital” in Article I (Definitions) Section 1.1 (General) is amended and restated to read as follows:

i. “Spinco Target Working Capital” means the sum of (1) $598,000,000 plus (2) the amount payable to Xxxxx Xxxxxx pursuant to Section 2.13(a) hereof.

b. The definition of “Spinco Closing Date Net Debt” in Article I (Definitions) Section 1.1 (General) is amended and restated to read as follows:

“Spinco Closing Date Net Debt” means an amount (which may be negative), in each case, determined as of the Calculation Time and without giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, equal to (i) the Indebtedness of the Spinco Group, less (ii) an amount equal to the Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Spinco Group; provided, that, as used within the definition of “Spinco Closing Date Net Debt,” (x) Indebtedness shall (1) include all Indebtedness represented by the Spinco Financing and (2) exclude all Indebtedness owed from a member of the Spinco Group to a member of the Harbor Group (any such Indebtedness, “Harbor-Spinco Indebtedness”), to the extent such Harbor-Spinco Indebtedness has been repaid or equitized or the receivable in respect thereof has been transferred to a member of the Spinco Group, in each case prior to the Distribution, and (y) Cash and Cash Equivalents shall (1) include all Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Harbor Group or the Spinco Group used to fund payments of Shared Expenses (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) by, or on behalf of, Spinco on or prior to the Calculation Time, and (2) exclude all Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Spinco Group used to pay the Special Dividend, the Additional Special Dividend (if applicable) and the Intercompany Debt Repayment.

c. The definition of “Spinco Current Liabilities” in Article I (Definitions) Section 1.1 (General) is amended to read as follows:

“Spinco Current Liabilities” means, without duplication, all current Liabilities (excluding Excluded Liabilities, Income Tax Liabilities and deferred Tax Liabilities, but including current Non-Income Tax Liabilities), deferred rent and any Indebtedness to the extent exclusively relating to or exclusively arising from the conduct of the Spinco Business, determined as of the Calculation Time in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) any Indebtedness taken into account for purposes of the calculation of the Spinco Closing Date Net Debt will not be deemed a Spinco Current Liability and (2) any Shared Expenses borne by Spinco shall not be deemed a Spinco Current Liability.

d. The definition of “Spinco 2017 Balance Sheet” in Article I (Definitions) Section 1.1 (General) is amended to read as follows:

“Spinco 2017 Balance Sheet” is the unaudited, combined balance sheet of the Spinco Business as of December 30, 2017 included in the Spinco Annual Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017.”

e. Xxxxx Xxxxxx’x obligation pursuant to Section 2.10 (Minority Interests) of the CDA to use reasonable best efforts, prior to the Harbor Contribution, to acquire, or cause the applicable member of the Harbor Group, as the case may be, to acquire, the outstanding Spinco Minority Interest Shares owned by the JV Minority Shareholders is hereby waived by Voyager and Spinco solely with respect to those entities identified by Voyager in writing to Xxxxx Xxxxxx prior to the Closing. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the treatment of the Spinco Minority Interest Shares, and all other obligations of the Harbor Group and Spinco with respect thereto, shall remain in full force and effect.

f. Article II of the CDA is amended by adding at the end thereof a new Section 2.13, which shall read in its entirety as follows:

“(c) At the Closing, Spinco shall pay to Xxxxx Xxxxxx an amount equal to the Other Restructuring Costs actually incurred by Xxxxx Xxxxxx. “Other Restructuring Costs” shall mean the amount set forth by Xxxxx Xxxxxx on a schedule to be delivered to Voyager no later than December 1, 2018, which amount shall not exceed $3,500,000.

“(d) Spinco shall make any and all payments to Xxxxx Xxxxxx as required pursuant to Subsections (a) through (c) at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of Xxxxx Xxxxxx designated in writing by Xxxxx Xxxxxx.”
