 ARTICLE II 
 LICENSE 
 Section 2.1 Grant of License. Upon the terms
and conditions set forth in this Article II, Licensor hereby grants and conveys to Licensees a non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Marks in connection with the Licensees’ current and future businesses and the
current and future services performed therewith during the term of this Agreement. Licensees shall not have the right to assign, transfer or sublicense any of the rights granted hereunder, except upon the written consent of the Licensor, which
consent shall be given or withheld at the sole discretion of Licensor and which shall be limited by such conditions as Licensor may require at its sole discretion. 
 Section 2.2 Restrictions on Marks. In order to ensure the quality of the uses under the Marks, and to protect the goodwill of the Marks, Licensees agree as follows: 

(a) Licensees will only use the Marks in formats approved by Licensor and only in strict association with Licensees’ businesses and
the services performed therewith; 
 (b) Licensees will use the Marks only in accordance with such quality standards and
specifications as may be established by Licensor and communicated to Licensees from time to time, it being understood that Licensor has evaluated Licensees’ businesses and services and determined that they are of a quality that justifies this
grant of a license. Licensees recognize that through proper use of the Marks, goodwill will become associated with the Marks. Therefore, Licensees will maintain the quality of the businesses and services with respect to which Licensees use the
Marks, and will not permit such quality to deteriorate so as to affect adversely the Marks and the goodwill that becomes associated therewith. If the quality of the businesses or services with respect to which Licensees use the Marks so deteriorates
so as to affect adversely the goodwill associated with the Marks, Licensees shall at their expense immediately cease further use of the Marks and shall immediately cause the Marks to be removed from all materials associated with the businesses and
services until rectified and from all marketing materials. Licensees shall promptly report to Licensor any material changes in the quality of the businesses or services with which Licensees use the Marks. Licensees will not take any action, or
permit or fail to prevent any action by Licensees’ Affiliates or any other Person under Licensees’ control, that is deemed to injure, harm or dilute the distinctiveness or goodwill of the Marks; 

(c) Prior to publishing any new format or appearance of the Marks or any new advertising or promotional materials that incorporate the
Marks, Licensees shall first provide such format, appearance or materials to Licensor for its approval. If Licensor does not inform Licensees in writing within fourteen (14) days from the date of the receipt of such new format, appearance, or
materials that such new format, appearance, or materials is or are unacceptable, then such new format, appearance or materials shall be deemed to be acceptable and approved by Licensor. Licensor may withhold approval of any new format or appearance
of the Marks or materials incorporating the Marks which Licensees propose to use in Licensor’s sole discretion; 

  
 5 







 (d) Licensees shall not use any other trademarks, service marks, trade names or logos in
connection with the Marks without prior written approval from Licensee during the term of this Agreement; and 
 (e) Licensees
shall notify Licensor prior to using the Marks for any services for which the Marks are not currently registered at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Licensees shall not use the Marks for any services for which the Marks are not currently
registered without Licensor’s prior approval, which approval shall be given in Licensor’s sole discretion. If Licensor does not inform Licensees in writing within fourteen (14) days from the date of the receipt of such notice that
such use of the Marks is unacceptable, then such use of the Marks shall be deemed to be acceptable and approved by Licensor. 

Section 2.3 Ownership. Licensor owns and shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the Marks, including all
goodwill relating thereto, and all trademark rights embodied therein are and shall at all times be solely vested in Licensor. Licensees have no right, title, interest or claim of ownership in the Marks, except for the licenses granted in this
Agreement. All use of the Marks shall inure to the benefit of Licensor. Licensees agree that they will not attack, challenge or assist any third party in attacking or challenging the title of Licensor in and to the Marks. All rights not expressly
granted by Licensor herein are reserved. No implied licenses are granted by Licensor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Licensees shall, if requested by Licensor at any time, at Licensor’s expense, execute such documents as reasonably
requested by Licensor in order to confirm, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the ownership or the licensing of such rights or to maintain the validity of the Marks or obtain or maintain registrations thereof for the goods or services
applicable to the licensed uses herein. 
 Section 2.4 Protection of the Marks. Licensor shall have the
exclusive right, but not the obligation, to protect the Marks (including monitoring potentially infringing uses, and initiating, prosecuting and defending litigation), and any rights therein and thereto, in its own name against all potential
infringements and unauthorized uses of the Marks. Licensees shall provide any information and assistance reasonably requested by Licensor and/or join as a party in any such action at the reasonable request and at the sole cost and expense of
Licensor. Licensor shall be entitled to all settlement amounts, damages or other monetary relief and costs and attorneys’ fees recovered in any such action, and Licensor shall have full discretion in determining whether, and upon what terms and
conditions, to settle any such action. Licensees shall cooperate fully in the enforcement of rights in any infringement action brought against a third party or in the defense of any infringement or other action respecting the Marks brought or
initiated by a third party. In the event Licensor determines, in its sole discretion, that it is not in the best interests of Licensor to initiate any legal proceedings on account of any such infringements, claims or actions, or in the event
Licensor settles or resolves any such proceedings which may be initiated, Licensees shall have no claim against Licensor for damages or otherwise, nor shall the same affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. If Licensor elects not to
initiate or pursue legal action in connection with a potential or actual infringement or unauthorized use of the Marks, upon prior written approval of Licensor, Licensees may take such legal action as they deem appropriate, and Licensor agrees to
support such legal action at the cost and expense of Licensees. In such case, Licensees shall be entitled to all settlement amounts, damages or other monetary relief and costs and attorneys’ fees recovered in any such action. 

  
 6 







 Section 2.5 New Registration. Licensor shall have the sole right to seek
additional registrations of the Marks in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or similar offices in different jurisdictions, whether for additional services or for additional formats and appearances of the Marks. Licensees shall not file for
additional registrations unless requested to do so by Licensor. Licensees shall fully cooperate with Licensor’s efforts to seek additional registrations of the Marks and provide all reasonable assistance requested by Licensor, including
executing any documents necessary for such registrations. Licensor shall own all rights, title and interest in and to such additional registrations. 
 Section 2.6 Confidentiality. Licensees shall maintain in strictest confidence all confidential or nonpublic information or material disclosed by Licensor and in the materials supplied
hereunder in connection with the license of the Marks, whether in writing or orally and whether or not marked as confidential. Such confidential information includes, but is not limited to, algorithms, inventions, ideas, processes, computer system
architecture and design, operator interfaces, operational systems, technical information, technical specifications, training and instruction manuals, and the like. In furtherance of the foregoing confidentiality obligation, Licensees shall limit
disclosure of such confidential information to those of their employees, contractors or agents having a need to access the confidential information for the purpose of exercising rights granted hereunder. 

Section 2.7 Estoppel. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring by implication, estoppel, or
otherwise upon Licensees (a) any license or other right under the intellectual property rights of Licensor other than the license granted herein with respect to the Marks as set forth expressly herein or (b) any license rights other than
those expressly granted herein. 
 Section 2.8 Warranties; Disclaimers. 

(a) Licensor represents and warrants that (i) Licensor owns, and Licensor has the right to license or sublicense, the Marks licensed
under this Agreement and (ii) the Marks do not infringe upon the rights of any third parties. 
 (b) EXCEPT FOR THE
WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 2.8(a), LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR REPRESENTATIONS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN) WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, OR ANY PART THEREOF,
INCLUDING ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PURPOSE (WHETHER ANY LICENSEE KNOWS, HAS REASON TO KNOW, HAS BEEN ADVISED, OR IS OTHERWISE IN FACT AWARE OF ANY SUCH PURPOSE) WHETHER
ALLEGED TO ARISE BY LAW, BY REASON OF CUSTOM OR USAGE IN THE TRADE OR BY COURSE OF DEALING. 
 Section 2.9 In the Event
of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4 or otherwise, Licensees’ right to utilize or possess the Marks licensed under this Agreement shall automatically cease, and no later
than ninety (90) days following such termination, (a) the Licensees shall cease all use of the Marks and shall adopt 

  
 7 







 
trademarks, service marks, and trade names that are not confusingly similar to the Marks, (b) at Licensor’s request, the Licensees shall destroy all materials and content upon which the
Marks continue to appear (or otherwise modify such materials and content such that the use or appearance of the Marks ceases) that are under Licensees’ control, and certify in writing to Licensor that Licensees have done so, and (c) each
of the Licensees shall change its legal name so that there is no reference therein to the name “Rose Rock,” “SemCrude,” any name or d/b/a then used by any SemGroup Entity or any variation, derivation or abbreviation thereof, and
in connection therewith, shall make all necessary filings of certificates with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and to otherwise amend its Organizational Documents by such date. 

ARTICLE III

 Section 3.1 Environmental Indemnification. 
 (a) Subject to the
provisions of Section 3.4 and Section 3.5, SemGroup shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership Group from and against any Covered Environmental Losses suffered or incurred by the Partnership Group and relating
to the Partnership Assets to the extent that the violation, event, circumstance, action, omission, condition or matter giving rise to such Covered Environmental Losses occurred or existed on or before the Closing Date. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall SemGroup have any indemnification obligations under this Agreement with respect to
any claims based on additions to or modifications of Environmental Laws enacted or promulgated after the Closing Date.

 (a) any failure of the Partnership Group to be the
owner on the Closing Date of valid and indefeasible easement rights, rights-of-way, leasehold and/or fee ownership interests in and to the lands on which any Partnership Assets are located to the extent that such failure renders the Partnership
Group liable to a third party or unable to use or operate the Partnership Assets in substantially the same manner as they were used or operated by SemCrude, L.P. or any SemGroup Entity immediately prior to the Closing Date; 

(b) any failure of the Partnership Group to have on the Closing Date any consent or governmental permit or waiver necessary to allow
(A) the transfer of any of the Partnership Assets to the Partnership Group or (B) any such Partnership Assets to cross the roads, waterways, railroads and other areas upon which any such Partnership Assets are located on the Closing Date,
which failure, in the case of clause (B), renders the Partnership liable to a third party or unable to use or operate the Partnership Assets in substantially the same manner as they were used or operated by SemCrude, L.P. or any SemGroup Entity
immediately prior to the Closing Date; 

  
 8 







 (c) any event or condition associated with the Retained Assets, whether occurring before, on
or after the Closing Date;

 (e) Losses (other than Covered Environmental Losses) arising out of or related to (a) FERC regulation, under the Interstate Commerce Act, of the Kansas and Oklahoma gathering pipeline system and
(b) Kansas Corporation Commission regulation of the Kansas and Oklahoma gathering pipeline system which lowers the transportation rates that the Partnership Group may charge its customers to the extent that the event, circumstance, action,
omission, condition or matter giving rise to such Losses occurred or existed on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event shall SemGroup have any indemnification obligations under this Agreement with respect to
any claims based on additions to or modifications of any such regulations enacted or promulgated after the Closing Date; and 

(f) any federal, state or local income tax liabilities attributable to the ownership and operation of the Partnership Assets prior to the
Closing Date, including (a) any income tax liabilities of SemGroup that may result from the consummation of the formation transactions for the Partnership Group and (b) any income tax liabilities arising under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1502-6 and any similar provision of applicable state, local or foreign law, or by contract, as successor, transferee or otherwise, and which income tax liability is attributable to having been a member of any consolidated, combined or
unitary group prior to the Closing Date. 
 Section 3.3 Indemnification by the Partnership Group. Subject to
the provisions of Section 3.4 and Section 3.5, the Partnership Group shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the SemGroup Entities from and against any Losses (including Covered Environmental Losses) suffered or incurred by
the SemGroup Entities and related to or arising out of or in connection with the ownership or operation of the Partnership Assets after the Closing Date, except to the extent that any member of the Partnership Group is entitled to indemnification
hereunder or unless such indemnification would not be permitted under the Partnership Agreement.

Date and the indemnification obligation set forth in Section 3.2(f) shall terminate on the 60th day after the termination of any applicable statute of limitations; provided, however, that any such indemnification obligation

(b) The aggregate liability of SemGroup under Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.2(e) shall not exceed $20 million.


  
 9 







 (c) No claims may be made against SemGroup for indemnification pursuant to
Section 3.1(a) or Section 3.2 unless the aggregate dollar amount of the Losses suffered or incurred by the Partnership Group exceeds $500,000, after which SemGroup shall be liable for the full amount of such claims in excess
of $500,000, subject to the limitations of Section 3.4(a). 
 (d) In no event shall SemGroup be obligated to the
Partnership Group under Section 3.1(a) or Section 3.2 for any Losses or income tax liabilities to the extent such Losses or liabilities reserved for in the Partnership Group’s financial statements as of the Closing Date.

 Section 3.5 Indemnification Procedures. 
 (a) The Indemnified Party agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article III, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the
Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not submit claims more frequently than once a calendar quarter (or twice in the case of the calendar quarter
in which the applicable indemnity coverage under this Agreement expires) unless such Indemnified Party believes in good faith that such a delay in notice to the Indemnifying Party would cause actual prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s ability
to defend against the applicable claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Article III to the contrary, a delay by the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this
Article III, except to the extent that such failure shall have caused actual prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the applicable claim. 
 (b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the
indemnification under this Article III, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, the determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settlement of any such matter or any issues relating thereto;
provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the Indemnified Party (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee in the case of the Partnership Group) unless it includes a full release of the
Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be, and does not include any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party. 

(c) The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims
covered by the indemnification under this Article III, including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting
the name of the Indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party considers relevant to
such defense and the making available to the Indemnifying Party, at no cost to the Indemnifying Party, of any employees of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable
efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this
Section 3.5. In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the 

  
 10 








 
immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims covered by the
indemnification set forth in this Article III; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep

 Section 4.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or
circumstance shall be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent
permitted by law.
