Re: Supply and Distribution Agreement (“Distribution Agreement”) by and between Heska Corporation (“Heska”) and Boule Medical AB (“Boule”) dated June 17, 2003

 

Dear Mr. Grieve:

 

This letter confirms our agreement that Boule will continue with our Distribution Agreement even though Heska fell short of its 2006 purchase minimums (the “2006 Shortfall”) and that such 2006 Shortfall neither constitutes a default by Heska nor gives rise to any additional consideration, remedies or penalties in favor of Boule. This letter also establishes that minimums set for 2007 are valid and part of the Distribution Agreement going forward and that this waiver relates solely to the outcome of 2006.

 

This letter will constitute a written agreement amending the Distribution Agreement as contemplated by Section 9.10 thereof. If there is a conflict between the terms of this letter and the Distribution Agreement, this letter shall control. Except as modified by this letter, the Distribution Agreement remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
