 As an Executive Officer, you will continue to
be eligible for benefits under the Dean Foods Company Executive Severance Plan (“Severance Plan”). In summary, according to the Severance Plan, if your employment is terminated at any time as a result of a “qualifying

the date of termination, prior year’s bonus to the extent earned but not paid, target bonus through the date of termination and all unused vacation/PTO. In addition, you will be eligible to receive a severance payment equivalent to two years of
your base salary and target bonuses, less lawful deductions. You will be required to execute a release of all claims and such other agreements as the company may deem necessary or appropriate in order to receive such severance pay. The actual terms
of the Severance Plan will govern your rights to severance and not this letter. 
 Good Reason Waiver 

In consideration of your continued employment, and your continued eligibility for long-term incentive compensation as specified above, you hereby waive any
right you may currently have, or which you may hereafter have, to terminate your employment for “good reason” under the Severance Plan due to any material reduction in the scope of your duties or responsibilities by reason of the
occurrence of, or any actions taken or effected in relation to, or in connection with the change in your role from Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer to Executive Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer. This means that, by signing
this letter, you are agreeing that you are not entitled to any Severance Benefits (as defined in the Severance Plan) in connection with the change in your responsibilities related to your moving from your former role to your current role.
