DIRECTOR’S INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

Exhibit 99.2

DIRECTOR’S INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Director’s Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of , 2006 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Virbac Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and who serves as a Director of the Company (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as Directors unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and/or indemnification against the risks of claims being asserted against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of such corporations; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s investors and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that, in order to help attract and retain qualified individuals as Directors, the best interests of the Company and its investors will be served by attempting to maintain, on an ongoing basis, at the Company’s sole expense, insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries as directors and in other capacities from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises for many years, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors, in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that, in order to help attract and retain qualified individuals as directors and in other capacities, the best interests of the Company and its investors will be served by assuring such individuals that the Company will indemnify them to the maximum extent permitted by law; and

WHEREAS, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and the By-Laws (the “By-Laws”) of the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company, and Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”); and

WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board with respect to indemnification and the advancement of defense costs; and

WHEREAS, it therefore is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance defense costs on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor shall it be deemed to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and

WHEREAS, the Board recognizes that the Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws and insurance program as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve or continue to serve as a director and/or in such other capacity as the Company may request without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity; and

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, and continue to serve, as a member of the Board of Directors (and any committee thereof) of the Company, on the condition that he or she be indemnified as provided for herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Services to the Company. Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve, at the will of the Company, a Director of the Company for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation.

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is made, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in (as a witness or otherwise) any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless against all judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in writing in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) (including, without limitation, all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any of the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”) and Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any action, discovery event, claim, issue or matter therein or related thereto, if Indemnitee acted in good faith, for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding or any action, discovery event, claim, issue or matter therein or related thereto, if Indemnitee acted in good faith, for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification, however, shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought or, if no Proceeding was brought in a court, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that, in view of all

the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee fairly and reasonably is entitled to indemnification for such portion of the Expenses as the court deems proper.

5. Indemnification for Expenses Where Indemnitee is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding and in addition to any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to a Proceeding and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such successful defense.

No indemnification shall be made under this Section 7(a) on account of Indemnitee’s conduct which constitutes a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its investors or is an act or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law.

(d) if the funds at issue were paid pursuant to a settlement approved by a court and indemnification would be inconsistent with any condition with respect to indemnification expressly imposed by the court in approving the settlement.

9. Advances of Expenses; Defense of Claim.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to advances of Expenses incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with a Proceeding that Indemnitee claims is covered by Sections 3 and 4 hereof, prior to a final determination of eligibility for indemnification and prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding, upon the execution and delivery to the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee providing that the Indemnitee will repay such advances to the extent that it ultimately is determined that

Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. This Section 9(a) shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 8.

(b) The Company shall advance pursuant to Section 9(a) the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a written statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay such advances. Advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce such right to receive advances.

(d) The Company shall not settle any action, claim or Proceeding (in whole or in part) which would impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

10. Procedure for Notification and Application for Indemnification.

(a) Within sixty (60) days after the actual receipt by Indemnitee of notice that he or she is a party to or is requested to be a participant in (as a witness or otherwise) any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written notice identifying the Proceeding. The failure by the Indemnitee to notify the Company within such 60-day period will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee (i) otherwise than under this Agreement, and (ii) under this Agreement, provided that if the Company can establish that such failure to notify the Company in a timely manner resulted in actual prejudice to the Company, then the Company will be relieved from liability under this Agreement only to the extent of such actual prejudice.

(b) Indemnitee shall at the time of giving such notice pursuant to Section 10(a) or thereafter deliver to the Company a written application for indemnification. Such application may be delivered at such time as Indemnitee deems appropriate in his or her sole discretion. Following delivery of such a written application for indemnification by Indemnitee, the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined promptly according to Section 11(a) of this Agreement and the outcome of such determination shall be reported to Indemnitee in writing within forty-five (45) days of the submission of such application.

11. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.

(a) Upon written application by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(b) or written statement by Indemnitee for advances of Expenses

pursuant to Section 9(b), a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto pursuant to the mandatory terms of this Agreement, pursuant to statute, or pursuant to other sources of right to indemnity, and pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement shall be made in the specific case: (i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, whether or not such directors otherwise would constitute a quorum of the Board; (ii) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, whether or not such directors would otherwise constitute a quorum of the Board, (iii) if there are no Disinterested Directors or if so requested by (x) the Indemnitee in his or her sole discretion or (y) the Disinterested Directors, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (iv) by the stockholders of the Company. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold Indemnitee harmless from any such costs and expenses.

(b) If it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification requested by the Indemnitee in a written application submitted to the Company pursuant to Section 10(b), payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. All advances of Expenses requested in a written statement by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9(b) prior to a final determination of eligibility for indemnification shall be paid in accordance with Section 9.

(c) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 11(c). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion.

Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit.

(d) If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(b) or 10(b) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Court or by such other person as the Court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 11(a) hereof.

(e) The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel and to fully indemnify such Independent Counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

(f) Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, any Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

12. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

(a) Presumption in Favor of Indemnitee. In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted an application for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption.

(b) No Presumption Against Indemnitee. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its Directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its Directors or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct for indemnification shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(c) Sixty Day Period for Determination. If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 11 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty

(60) days after receipt by the Company of an application therefor, a determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto.

(d) No Presumption from Termination of a Proceeding. The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

(e) Reliance as Safe Harbor. For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action or failure to act is based on the records or books of account of the Company or any Enterprise other than the Company, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Company or any Enterprise other than the Company in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or any Enterprise other than the Company or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or any Enterprise other than the Company by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the Company or any Enterprise other than the Company, except if the Indemnitee knew or had reason to know that such records or books of account of the Company, information supplied by the officers of the Company, advice of legal counsel or information or records given or reports made by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert were materially false or materially inaccurate. The provisions of this Section 12(e) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met any applicable standard of conduct.

(f) Actions of Others. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, trustee, administrator, partner, member, fiduciary, employee or agent of the Company or any Enterprise other than the Company shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

13. Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a) Adjudication/Arbitration. In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, (iii) subject to Section 12(c), no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the application for indemnification, or (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 11(b) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or after receipt by the Company of a written request for any additional monies owed with respect to a Proceeding as to which it already has been determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

(b) Indemnitee Not Prejudiced by Prior Adverse Determination. In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the prior adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

(c) Company Bound by Prior Determination. If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(d) Expenses. In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 13, seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be jointly and severally indemnified by the Company against, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in such judicial adjudication or arbitration if it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive all or part of the indemnification or advancement of Expenses sought which the Company had disputed prior to the commencement of the judicial proceeding or arbitration.

(e) Advances of Expenses. If requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance to Indemnitee the Expenses which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any judicial proceeding or arbitration brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, if the Indemnitee has submitted an undertaking to repay such Expenses if Indemnitee ultimately is determined to not be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be. The Indemnitee’s financial ability to repay any such advances shall not be a basis for the Company to decline to make such advances.

(f) Precluded Assertions by the Company. The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

14. Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

(a) Rights of Indemnitee Not Exclusive. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or the By-Laws, any agreement, vote of investors or a resolution of directors, members, partners, or otherwise. No right or remedy herein conferred by this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(b) Survival of Rights. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

(c) Change of Law. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, or where applicable Texas law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws, or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy and be conferred by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change.

(d) Insurance. To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, trustees, administrators partners, members, fiduciaries, employees, or agents of the Company or of

any other Enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, trustee, partner, member, fiduciary, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice from any source of a Proceeding as to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect that covers Indemnitee, the Company shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

(e) Subrogation. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company, shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(f) Other Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

(g) Other Indemnification. The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, administrator partner, member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such Enterprise.

15. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as any of the following: a director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or as a director, officer, trustee, administrator partner, member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other Enterprise which Indemnitee served at the request of the Company; or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding (including after the expiration of any rights of appeal) then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement (including any rights of appeal of any Proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 13).

17. Enforcement.

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve, or to continue to serve, as a director, of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving or continuing to serve as a director agent of the Company.

(b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

18. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties hereto.

claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and Indemnitee , on the other, as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee, on the other, in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).
