the subject matters identified on Exhibit C hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the annual plan will express Licensee’s current intentions with respect to its planned activities for the year; however, for the
further avoidance of doubt, Licensee will not be limited to the activities set forth in the annual plan. 
 C. For all of the meetings in
accordance with Section III.A(ii), Licensee shall present to Licensor a summary of its activities for the prior six (6) month period, including marketing activities. At such meetings, Licensor may provide general direction with respect to such

Marks are used in connection with the Products and Services. 
 IV. USE OF LICENSED MARKS IN CONNECTION WITH PRODUCTS AND SERVICES 

A. Licensee shall use the Licensed Marks only in connection with Products and Services designed, performed, distributed, sold or otherwise
commercialized by Licensee in complete accordance with all of the Standards of Quality for such Products and Services. Under the license and rights granted herein, Licensee is authorized to use the Licensed Marks only as provided in Article II. 

B. Under the license and rights granted herein, Licensee is authorized to use the Licensed Marks in complete accordance with applicable Laws
and shall comply with good industry practice, including the exercise of that degree of skill, diligence and foresight that can reasonably be expected from a Person who is engaged in the same type of service or manufacture under similar
circumstances, consistent with applicable requirements and generally recognized industry and safety standards (collectively, “Requirements”), including use in packaging, labeling, general publicity, advertising, instruction books
and other literature relating to the Products and Services and as their corporate names; provided, however, in the event of any noncompliance by Licensee with any of the Requirements as required hereunder, Licensor shall provide Licensee with notice
of such noncompliance and at least seventy-five (75) days to cure such noncompliance; provided, that if the non-compliance has resulted in, or it is reasonably


  
 6 








 
foreseeable that it may result in, injury or damage to persons, property or the environment, the cure period shall be thirty (30) days. Licensee shall upon reasonable notice comply with the
rules and practices reasonably set forth in writing from time to time by Licensor with respect to the appearance and manner of use of the Licensed Marks, including such rules and practices set forth in GE’s Brand Central Guidelines located at
http://www.gebrandcentral.com/brand/design_library/, provided such rules and practices are applied across other similar GE businesses where such rules and practices are applicable to the operation of such businesses and are provided to
Licensee in written or electronic form. In the event that Licensor requests changes to previously-approved or otherwise produced materials bearing the Licensed Marks due to changes in GE’s Brand Central Guidelines, Licensee shall promptly
implement the change as soon as reasonable after the date of such changes but in any event no later than eighteen (18) months after the later of (i) the effective date of such change or (ii) Licensor’s written notice to Licensee
of such change, unless such change is required sooner in order to comply with applicable Law. Licensee shall be allowed to continue to distribute such materials then existing in inventory during such period, in each case unless an extension is
otherwise approved in writing by Licensor. 
 C. In using the Licensed Marks, Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to indicate
that the Licensed Marks are registered trademarks of Licensor in accordance with standard practices with respect to the Products and Services as of the Effective Date. All websites for Products and Services that use the Licensed Marks, and all user
manuals packaged with such Products, shall bear the marking: “GE is a trademark of General Electric Company. Used under trademark license.” or such other reasonable marking as Licensor shall direct from time to time. Any use of the
Licensed Marks not contemplated under this Agreement and inconsistent with how the Licensed Marks were used before the Effective Date, shall be adopted by Licensee only upon prior written approval by Licensor, which shall not be unreasonably
conditioned, delayed or withheld. 
 D. Licensee shall comply with all applicable Laws pertaining to the Licensed Marks, including those
pertaining to the proper use and designation of Marks and pertaining to the offering, development, distribution, promotion and sale of Products and the offering, rendering and promotion of Services, and Licensor shall comply with all applicable Laws
pertaining to interactions with any Governmental Entity in connection with Licensor’s enforcement and protection of the Licensed Marks in connection with this Agreement. 

E. Licensor may provide notice to Licensee that Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks has resulted in or would reasonably be expected to
result in a non-frivolous adverse claim against Licensor, Licensor’s Affiliates or Licensee. Such notice shall include a description in reasonable detail of the facts and circumstances of the subject
matter of such claim and may include a reasonable determination by Licensor that Licensee should immediately cease use of the Licensed Marks until resolution of such adverse claim. If Licensee disagrees with such determination, Licensee may continue
such use of the Licensed Marks; provided, however, that Licensee shall fully indemnify Licensor for any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), and expenses relating to the portion of such claim
relating to Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks and only to the extent arising out of Licensee’s use after the date of such notice. Licensee’s continued use of the Licensed Marks pursuant to the previous sentence shall not prejudice
Licensee’s ability to initiate a Dispute pursuant to Section XII.I. 

  
 7 








 
Licensee shall comply fully and promptly with all reasonable guidelines adopted from time to time by Licensor that are applied across other similar GE businesses where such guidelines are
applicable to the operation of such businesses for the purpose of distinguishing the Licensor’s Marks and preventing confusion of itself and another entity, of which the Licensor provides Licensee written notice. 

F. If it is required for the purpose of making this Agreement enforceable, or for the purpose of maintaining, enhancing or protecting
Licensor’s rights in the Licensed Marks in some jurisdictions, to record this Agreement or to enter Licensee as a registered or authorized user of the Licensed Marks, Licensor will attend (at Licensor’s expense) to such recording or entry.
If a particular jurisdiction in which Licensee uses the Licensed Marks requires a controlling substitute or short-form license agreement to effectuate this Agreement, the Parties shall agree on the form and any confidential information to include
therein. Licensee shall promptly execute and deliver to Licensor such necessary additional instruments or documentation as Licensor may reasonably request, including execution and delivery of such controlling substitute or short-form license
agreements with terms consistent with (and to the extent legally permissible in the applicable jurisdiction, identical to) this Agreement for recordation or registration in specified jurisdictions in the event that this Agreement shall be deemed by
Licensor to be unsuitable for recordation or entry in such jurisdictions. The terms and conditions of this Agreement (and not the terms and conditions of such substitute or short-form license agreements entered into for recording or entry purposes)
shall be binding between Licensor and Licensee throughout the world and shall govern and control any controversy that may arise with respect to each Party’s rights and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that if specific terms and
conditions of any such substitute or short-form license agreement differ from the comparable terms and conditions of this Agreement and only if enforcement of the comparable terms and conditions of this Agreement pursuant to this provision either
would be uncertain or improper under the Laws of the applicable jurisdiction or would adversely affect Licensor’s rights in and to the Licensed Marks in such jurisdiction, then the specific terms and conditions of the substitute or short-form
license agreement shall be controlling in such jurisdiction. 
 G. Licensee shall supply Licensor with such
non-confidential information concerning sales and other dispositions of Products and Services as necessary and reasonably requested by Licensor in order for Licensor to acquire, maintain and renew
registrations of the Licensed Marks, to record this Agreement, to enter Licensee as a registered or authorized user of the Licensed Marks or for any purpose reasonably related to Licensor’s maintenance and protection of the Licensed Marks.
Licensee shall fully cooperate (at Licensor’s expense) with Licensor’s necessary and reasonable requests in the execution, filing, and prosecution of any registration of a Mark or copyright relating to the Licensed Marks that Licensor may
desire to obtain for itself. For the foregoing purpose, Licensee shall supply to Licensor such samples, containers, labels, letterheads and other similar materials bearing the Licensed Marks as may be reasonably required by Licensor. 

H. Notwithstanding Section II.A or Section II.B, Licensee will not use the Licensed Marks, nor may any particular Product or Service be
marketed, distributed, offered for sale, sold, or otherwise commercialized using the Licensed Marks: (i) in any jurisdiction where registration of the Licensed Marks is not attainable by Law unless and until such Law is modified to permit
registration of the Licensed Marks in such jurisdiction and the Licensed Marks have been 

  
 8 








 
registered in such jurisdiction (at Licensor’s expense), or Licensor determines in good faith on advice of its trademark counsel that it would be preferable not to seek to register such
Licensed Marks in such jurisdiction but that there is no material impediment to the use of such Licensed Marks therein, or Licensor determines in good faith on advice of its trademark counsel that
use of such Licensed Marks without registration is not likely to adversely affect Licensor’s rights in and to such Licensed Marks in such jurisdiction; and (ii) in a jurisdiction where entry of Licensee as a registered or authorized user
is required by Law, prior to the execution of an appropriate registered user agreement or similar agreement and the filing thereof with the appropriate Governmental Entity. Licensor shall promptly but in any case within thirty (30) days file
such registrations or make such determinations upon request from Licensee. Not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that Licensor determines that Licensee is using the Licensed Marks in a jurisdiction where such Licensed Marks are not
registered in the appropriate Mark class(es) for Products and Services, Licensor at its sole discretion shall have the option to require such registration at Licensee’s expense. Licensor will own all right, title and interest in and to any and
all registrations and applications for registration of the Licensed Marks, whether filed before or after the Effective Date. 
 I. To the
extent Licensee wishes to enter into any agreement relating to the placement of paid listings for “keyword” or similar website searches that consist of the Licensed Marks either alone or in combination with other words or phrases including
in the Licensed Form, Licensee shall notify Licensor at least fifteen (15) days before entering into such agreement and shall consider in good faith any issues identified by Licensor during such notice period with respect to the placement of
such paid listings or similar website searches. All such agreements relating to the placement of paid listings for “keyword” or similar website searches relating to the Licensed Marks shall be undertaken by Licensee at Licensee’s
expense. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall assign any agreements relating to the placement of listings in response to website search terms and key words that include any of the Licensed Marks to Licensor, unless such
agreements by their own terms are non-assignable, in which case Licensee shall terminate such agreements. 
 V.
USE OF LICENSED MARKS IN COMPANY NAME 
 A. As Licensee’s corporate name, Licensee shall only use the Licensed Marks in the Licensed
Form. Licensee shall not use any variation of the Licensed Marks other than in the Licensed Form as Licensee’s corporate name.  

B. Licensee shall operate its business in accordance with at least the same standards of quality, appearance, service and other standards that
it has observed as of the Effective Date. In order to promote adherence to such standards and for the purpose of protecting and maintaining the goodwill associated with the Licensed Marks and the reputation of Licensor, Licensor shall have the right
to obtain from Licensee reasonable information as to the operation of Licensee’s business and the manner in which the Licensed Marks are used in connection with Licensee’s corporate name. If, at any time, Licensee fails, in the good-faith
opinion of Licensor, to conform to the standards and other requirements set forth in this Article V, and Licensor notifies Licensee of such failure, Licensee shall take all necessary steps to conform with such standards and other requirements and
shall have seventy-five (75) days from such notice to cure any nonconformities.

time to time as reasonably requested by Licensor, access to representative samples of all Products to which a Licensed Mark is affixed and representative samples showing all other uses of the Licensed Marks by Licensee. Upon Licensor’s
reasonable request, Licensee shall permit Licensor to promptly examine and audit documents, books, records and other information pertaining to the operation of Licensee’s business as Licensor may reasonably require to verify that Licensee is
complying with the requirements of Article V herein in conjunction with Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks in its corporate name. In conducting any such review, inspection or audit under this Article VI, Licensor shall take all steps
reasonably required by Licensee to minimize disruption to Licensee’s business or operations and to keep strictly confidential any information and materials received or otherwise made available to Licensor pursuant to this Article VI, including
executing reasonable nondisclosure agreements and accepting redacted documents, provided that such steps and agreements shall not prevent Licensor from pursuing any claims that it may have in connection with this Agreement.

discretion. If Licensor decides to enforce any of the Licensed Marks against an infringer, all costs incurred and recoveries made shall be for the account of Licensor except for any lost profits awarded pursuant to a final judgment that are
attributable to the Company’s use of the Licensed Marks, which shall be shared equally between the Parties. 
 D. Licensee will not at
any time during the Term, and at any time thereafter for as long as Licensor shall own any rights in the Licensed Marks, do or cause to be done any act or thing disparaging, disputing, attacking, challenging, impairing, diluting, or in any way

Licensor. 
 E. Licensor will not at any time during the Term do or cause to be done any act or thing disparaging, disputing, attacking,
challenging, impairing, diluting, or in any way tending to harm the reputation or goodwill associated with Licensee or its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not in any way limit Licensor’s ability to file and

 X. TERM AND TERMINATION 

A. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision of this Article X, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and
continue until five (5) years from the Effective Date (“Initial Term”). This Agreement shall automatically renew for successive five (5) year terms (each a “Renewal Term” and collectively with the Initial
Term, the “Term”) unless Licensee delivers a notice to Licensor indicating its intent not to renew the Agreement no later than three (3) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term. 

B. In the event Licensee (i) breaches in any material respect any covenant in Article IV or Article V of this Agreement or fails to pay
the Corporate Assessment in accordance with the terms (including the cure period) of the Intercompany Services Agreement or (ii) willfully or repeatedly (without commencing diligent efforts to remedy) breaches any covenant in this Agreement,
and, in the case of (i) and (ii), Licensor gives Licensee written notice of such breach (which notice shall provide a description of the breach in reasonable detail), Licensee shall have the cure period prescribed in Section IV.B or Section
V.B, as applicable, for such breach (or, in the event there is no cure period prescribed, one hundred and twenty (120) days) from Licensee’s receipt of such notice to remedy such breach. If such breach is not remedied within the applicable
cure period, Licensor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in whole or in part at any time thereafter by giving Licensee notice of such termination. If such breach is of a nonmonetary nature and is not capable of being cured within the
applicable cure period and Licensee has commenced and diligently continued actions to cure such breach within the applicable cure period, the cure period shall be extended by forty five (45) days so long as Licensee is making diligent efforts
to cure. 

  
 12 








 C. This Agreement shall automatically terminate without notice upon termination of the
Intercompany Services Agreement or termination of the CA Services (as that term is defined in the Intercompany Services Agreement) thereunder. 

D. Licensor may terminate this Agreement on the Trigger Date (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), provided that upon the Trigger Date,
the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a phase-out period (which period shall be no less than one hundred and twenty (120) days) to allow Licensee to wind down its rights under this Agreement in a
manner consistent with its use immediately prior to the Trigger Date, including the selling off of any stock that, as of the date of such termination of this Agreement, is in the possession or control of Licensee or its Subsidiaries and that bears
any of the Licensed Marks. Such right to use shall be subject to Articles III, IV and V. 
 E. This Agreement shall automatically terminate
upon notice to Licensee in its entirety upon any of the following events with respect to Licensee or its managing member: 

1. any merger or consolidation of Licensee into an unrelated third party where the Licensee ceases to exist as a result of such
merger and consolidation other than a transaction in which holders of the Licensee’s voting securities immediately before such transaction, in the aggregate, have more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of all issued and outstanding
securities of the surviving corporation after such transaction; 
 2. the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
Licensee to an unrelated third party; or 
 3. a change of control of Licensee whereby any unrelated third party(ies)
acquires fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting securities of Licensee or the power, directly or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction of management or policies (whether through ownership of securities or partnership or other
ownership interests, by contract or otherwise) of Licensee. 
 F. This Agreement shall automatically terminate without notice in the event
Licensee commences, or has commenced against it, proceedings under bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor’s relief Laws or similar Laws in any other jurisdiction, which proceedings are not dismissed within sixty (60) days; Licensee makes a
general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or Licensee ceases operations or is liquidated or dissolved. 
 G. Upon expiration or
termination of the license granted under Article II, Licensee shall adopt a new corporate name that does not consist, in whole or in part of, and is not dilutive of or confusingly similar to, any of the Licensed Marks; provided, however, under no
circumstance shall Licensee be required to forgo the Baker Hughes corporate name. 
 H. The following provisions of this Agreement shall
survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement: Section X.D and Articles XI and XII. Unless otherwise specified herein, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, all licenses granted to Licensee herein shall immediately terminate.

any Mark or infringement of any copyright right of a third party arising out of or relating to Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnity in this Section XI.A
