Inc. Retirement Plan for Non-Employee Directors and any other plan of deferred compensation that the Grantor so designates in writing to the Trustee (the “Plans”), and (b) invest, reinvest, disburse and distribute those assets and the
earnings thereon as provided hereunder and in the Plans. 
 2. Trust Corpus. The Grantor hereby transfers to the
Trustee and the Trustee hereby accepts and agrees to hold, in trust, the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) plus such cash and/or property, if any, transferred to the Trustee by the Grantor or on behalf of the Grantor pursuant to obligations incurred under

be necessary either (i) to obtain a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax consequences of the establishment and settlement of the Trust, or (ii) to make nonsubstantive changes, which have no effect upon
the amount of any Beneficiary’s benefits, the time of receipt of benefits, the identity of any recipient of benefits, or the reversion of any assets to the Grantor prior to the Trustee’s satisfaction of all the Trustee’s obligations
hereunder; provided, further, that in the event of a “Change of Control” as defined in Section 2.2 of the General Mills, Inc. Retirement Plan for Non-Employee Directors (hereinafter referred to as a “Change in Control”), the
Trust may not be altered or amended in any substantive respect, or revoked or terminated by the Grantor’s successor unless a majority of the Beneficiaries, determined as of the day before such Change in Control, agree in writing to such an
alteration, amendment, revocation or termination.

(b) In the administration of the Trust, Trustee shall have the following powers; however, all powers regarding the

management and control over all or a portion of the assets of the Trust (“Investment Managers”). The Grantor shall notify the Trustee in writing of the appointment of the Investment Manager. In the event more than one Investment Manager is
appointed, the Grantor shall determine which assets shall be subject to management and control by each Investment Manager and shall also determine the proportion in which funds withdrawn or disbursed shall be charged against the assets subject to
each Investment Manager’s management and control. Such Investment Manager shall direct Trustee as to the investment of assets and any voting, tendering, and other appurtenant rights of all securities held in the portion of the Trust over which

securities, the Trustee is authorized in the Trustee’s sole discretion to allot the called portion to the respective holders in any manner deemed to be fair and equitable in the Trustee’s judgment. Securities called for partial redemption
must be in the Trust pursuant to an actual rather than provisional credit. 
 6. Distribution of Trust Assets.

 (a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) below, at such time as a Beneficiary is entitled to
a payment under any of the Plans, he shall be entitled to receive from the Trust (i) an amount in cash equal to the amount to which he is entitled under the Plan or Plans at such time, less (ii) any payments previously made to him by the
Grantor with respect to such amount pursuant to the terms of the Plans. The commencement of payments from the Trust shall be conditioned on the Trustee’s prior receipt of a written instrument from the Beneficiary in a form satisfactory to the
Trustee containing representations as to (A) the amount to which the Beneficiary is entitled under the Plans, (B) the fact that he has requested the payment of such amount from the Grantor pursuant to the terms of the Plans, (C) the
amount, if any, he has received from the Grantor under the Plans with respect to such amount, and (D) the amount to be paid him by the Trust (i.e., the difference between (A) and (C) above). All payments to a Beneficiary from the
Trust shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Plan. The Trustee shall be fully protected in making any payment in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. 

 (b) The Trustee shall make or commence payment to the Beneficiary in
accordance with his representations not later than 30 business days after its receipt thereof; provided, however, that before the Trustee makes or commences any such payment and not later than 7 business days after its receipt of the
Beneficiary’s representations, the Trustee shall request in writing the Grantor’s agreement that the Beneficiary’s representations are accurate with respect to the amount, fact, and time of payment to him. The Trustee shall enclose
with such request a copy of the Beneficiary’s representations and written advice to the Grantor that it must respond to the Trustee’s request on or before the 20th business day (which date shall be set forth in such written advice) after
the Beneficiary furnished such representations to the Trustee. If the Grantor, in a writing delivered to the Trustee, agrees with the Beneficiary’s representations in all respects, or if the Grantor does not respond to the Trustee’s
request by the 20th day deadline, the Trustee shall make payment in accordance with the Beneficiary’s representations. If the Grantor advises the Trustee in writing on or before the 20th day deadline that it does not agree with any or all of
the Beneficiary’s representations, the Trustee immediately shall take whatever steps it in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, a review of any notice furnished by the Grantor pursuant to paragraph
(e) hereof, to attempt to resolve the difference(s) between the Grantor and the Beneficiary. If, however, the Trustee is unable to resolve such difference(s) to its satisfaction within 60 business days after its receipt of the
Beneficiary’s representations, the Trustee shall make payment at such time and in such form and manner as is allowed under the Plans as of the date first stated above and as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, selects. The Trustee shall be
fully protected in making or refraining from making any payment in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall, as directed, make payments hereunder before such payments are otherwise due if the Grantor
determines, based on a change in the tax or revenue laws of the United States of America, a published ruling or similar announcement issued by the Internal Revenue Service, a regulation issued by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate, or a
decision by a court of competent jurisdiction involving a Beneficiary, or a closing agreement made under Code Section 7121 that is approved by the Internal Revenue Service and involves a Beneficiary, that a Beneficiary has recognized or will
recognize income for federal income tax purposes with respect to amounts that are or will be payable to him under the Plans before they are paid to him. 
 (d) Unless (contemporaneously with his submission of the written instrument referred to in Paragraph (a) hereof) a Beneficiary furnishes documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee that no withholding is required with respect to a payment to be made to him from the Trust, the Trustee may deduct from any such payment and federal or state taxes (other than FICA, FUTA or local taxes) that may be required to be withheld.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantor may direct the Trustee with respect to the federal and state withholding on such payments, and must direct the Trustee if any tax withholding is required on a payment subject to state/local income taxes in
a state/locality other than the state/locality in which the Beneficiary currently resides (“Non-resident taxes”). If applicable, the Grantor shall direct the Trustee to remit any FICA, FUTA or local taxes to the Grantor and the Grantor
shall have the responsibility for determining, reporting and paying the FICA, FUTA or local taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. 
 (e) The Trustee shall provide the Grantor with written confirmation of the fact and time of any commencement of payments hereunder within 10 business days after any payments commence to a
beneficiary. The Grantor shall notify the Trustee in the same manner of any payments it commences to make to a Beneficiary pursuant to the Plans. 
 (f) The Trustee shall be fully protected in making or refraining from making any payment or any calculations in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6. 

7. Termination of the Trust and Reversion of Trust Assets. The Trust shall terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the
payment by the Grantor of all amounts due the Beneficiaries under each of the Plans and the receipt by the Trustee of a valid release to that effect from each of the Beneficiaries with respect to payments made to him, or (ii) the twenty-first
anniversary of the death of the last survivor of the Beneficiaries who are in being on the date of the execution of this Trust Agreement. Upon termination of the Trust, any and all assets remaining in the Trust, after the payment to the
Beneficiaries of all amounts to which they are entitled and after payment of the expenses and compensation in Sections 10 and 15(i) of this Trust Agreement, shall revert to the Grantor and the Trustee shall promptly take such action as shall be
necessary to transfer any such assets to the Grantor. Notwithstanding the above, the Grantor shall be obligated to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the Trust is not terminated for a period of five (5) years following a Change in
Control as of the date of the execution of this Trust Agreement, such steps to include, but not being limited to, the transfer to the Trustee of cash or other assets pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(a) hereof. 

8. Powers of the Trustee. 
 (a) Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the
conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims. 
 (b) If Trustee undertakes or defends any
litigation arising in connection with this Trust, Grantor agrees to indemnify Trustee against Trustee’s reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) relating thereto
and to be primarily liable for such payments. If Grantor does not pay such costs, expenses and liabilities in a reasonably timely manner, Trustee may obtain payment from the Trust. 

(c) Trustee may consult with legal counsel (who may also be counsel for Grantor generally) with respect to any of its
duties or obligations hereunder, and Trustee may hire agents, accountants, actuaries, investment advisors, financial consultants or other professionals to assist it in performing any of its duties or obligations hereunder. Grantor shall pay the
reasonable expenses for services by such individuals or entities, and if the Grantor does not pay such expenses in a reasonably timely manner, Trustee may obtain payment from the Trust. 

(d) Notwithstanding any powers granted to Trustee pursuant to this Trust Agreement or to applicable law, Trustee shall
not have any power that could give this Trust the objective of carrying on a business and dividing the gains therefrom, within the meaning of section 301.7701-2 of the Procedure and Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Internal
Revenue Code. 

 (e) The duties of the Trustee shall be limited to the assets held in the
Trust, and the Trustee shall have no duties with respect to assets held by any other person including, without limitation, any other Trustee for the Plan(s). The Grantor hereby agrees that the Trustee shall not serve as, and shall not be deemed to
be, a co-trustee under any circumstances. The Grantor may request the Trustee to perform a recordkeeping service with respect to property held by others and not otherwise subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement. To the extent the Trustee shall
agree to perform this service, its sole responsibility shall be to accurately reflect information on its books which it has received from an authorized party of the custodian of such property. 

9. Resignation of Trustee and Appointment of Successor Trustee. Each Trustee shall have the right to resign upon 30
days’ written notice to the Grantor, during which time the Grantor shall appoint a “Qualified Successor Trustee.” If no Qualified Successor Trustee accepts such appointment, the resigning Trustee shall petition a court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a “Qualified Successor Trustee.” For this purpose, a “Qualified Successor Trustee” may be an individual or a corporation but may not be the Grantor, any person who would be a “related or
subordinate party” to the Grantor within the meaning of Section 672(c) of the Code or a corporation that would be a member of an “affiliated group” of corporations including the Grantor within the meaning of Section 1504(a)
of the Code if the words “80 percent” wherever they appear in that section were replaced by the words “50 percent.” Upon the written acceptance by the Qualified Successor Trustee of the trust and upon approval of the resigning
Trustee’s final account by those entitled thereto, the resigning Trustee shall be discharged. 
 10. Trustee
Compensation. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive as compensation for its services hereunder the compensation (a) as negotiated and agreed to by the Grantor and the Trustee, or (b) if not negotiated or if the parties are unable to
reach agreement, as allowed a trustee under the laws of the State of Minnesota in effect at the time such compensation is payable. Such compensation shall be paid by the Grantor; provided, however, that to the extent such compensation is not paid by
the Grantor, it shall be charged against and paid from the Trust and the Grantor shall reimburse the Trust for any such payment made from the Trust within 30 days of its receipt from the Trustee of written notice of such payment. 

11. Trustee’s Consent to Act and Indemnification of the Trustee. The Trustee hereby grants and consents to act as
Trustee hereunder. The Grantor agrees to indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, legal fees and expenses that may be asserted against it, otherwise than on account of the Trustee’s own negligence or
willful misconduct (as found by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) by reason of the Trustee’s taking or refraining from taking any action in connection with the Trust, whether or not the Trustee is a party to a legal
proceeding or otherwise. 
 12. Prohibition Against Assignment. No Beneficiary shall have any preferred claim on, or
any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust before such assets are paid to the Beneficiary as provided in Section 6, and all rights created under the Trust and the Plans shall be unsecured contractual rights of the Beneficiary
against the Grantor. No part of, or claim against, the assets of the Trust may be assigned, anticipated, alienated, encumbered, garnished, attached or in any other manner disposed of by any of the Beneficiaries, and no such part or claim shall be
subject to any legal process or claims of creditors of any of the Beneficiaries. 
 13. Annual Accounting. The
Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed accounts of all investments, receipts and disbursements and other transactions hereunder, and, within ninety days following the close of each calendar year, and within ninety days after the Trustee’s
resignation or termination of the Trust as provided herein, the Trustee shall render a written account of its administration of the Trust to the Grantor by submitting a record of receipts, investments, disbursements, distributions, gains, losses,
assets on hand at the end of the accounting period and other pertinent information, including a description of all securities and investments purchased and sold during such calendar year. Written approval of an account shall, as to all matters shown
in the account, be binding upon the Grantor and shall forever release and discharge the Trustee from any liability or accountability. The Grantor will be deemed to have given his written approval if he does not object in writing to the Trustee
within one hundred and twenty days after the date of receipt of such account from the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled at any time to institute an action in a court of competent jurisdiction for a judicial settlement of its account.

 14. Notices. Any notice or instructions required under any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be
deemed effectively given only if such notice is in writing and is delivered personally or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, addressed to the addresses as set forth below of the parties hereto. The address
of the parties are as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	The Grantor: 

	 	

     General Mills, Inc. 

    Post Office Box 1113 

    Number One General Mills Boulevard 

    Minneapolis, MN 55440 

    Attention: Treasurer 

 

	 	(ii)	The Trustee: 

     Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. 

    6th and Marquette Avenue 

    Minneapolis, MN 55479-0069 

    Attention: Administrative Officer 

 The Grantor or Trustee may at any time change the address to which notices are to be sent to it by giving
written notice thereof in the manner provided above. 
 15. Miscellaneous Provisions. 

(a) This Trust Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota
applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein and the Trustee shall not be required to account in any court other than one of the courts of such state. 

(b) All section headings herein have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify,
restrict or affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Trust Agreement. 

(c) This Trust Agreement is intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement of the parties hereto,
supersedes all previous agreements or understandings among them and may not be modified or terminated orally. 

(d) The term “Trustee” shall include any successor Trustee. 

(e) If a Trustee or Custodian hereunder is a bank or trust company, any corporation resulting from any merger,
consolidation or conversion to which such bank or trust company may be a party, or any corporation otherwise succeeding generally to all or substantially all of the assets or business of such bank or trust company, shall be the successor to it as
Trustee or custodian hereunder, as the case may be without the execution of any instrument or any further action on the part of any party hereto. 
 (f) If any provision of this Trust Agreement shall be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall subsist and be carried into effect. 

(g) The Plans are by this reference expressly incorporated herein and made a part hereof with the same force and
effect as if fully set forth at length. As of the date first stated above, the terms of the Plans are as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. 
 (h) The assets of the Trust shall be subject only to the claims of the Grantor’s general creditors in the event of the Grantor’s bankruptcy or insolvency. The Grantor shall be considered
“bankrupt” or “insolvent” if the Grantor is (A) unable to pay its debts when due or (B) engaged as a debtor in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. The Board of Directors and the
chief executive officer of the Grantor must notify the Trustee of the Grantor’s bankruptcy or insolvency within three (3) days following the occurrence of such event. Upon receipt of such a notice, or, upon receipt of a written allegation
from a person or entity claiming to be a creditor of the Grantor that the Grantor is bankrupt or insolvent, the Trustee shall discontinue payments to Beneficiaries. The Trustee shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of such notice or written
allegation, determine whether the Grantor is bankrupt or insolvent. If the Trustee determines, based on such notice, written allegation, or such other information as it deems appropriate, that the Grantor is bankrupt or insolvent, the Trustee shall
hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of the Grantor’s general creditors, and deliver any undistributed assets to satisfy the claims of such creditors as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. The Trustee shall resume payments to
Beneficiaries only after it has determined that the Grantor is not bankrupt or insolvent, is no longer bankrupt or insolvent (if the Trustee determined that the Grantor was bankrupt or insolvent), pursuant to an order of a court of competent
jurisdiction. Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Grantor’s bankruptcy or insolvency, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether the Grantor is bankrupt or insolvent. The Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence
concerning the Grantor’s solvency as may be furnished to the Trustee which will give the Trustee a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning the Grantor’s solvency. 

If the Trustee discontinues payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to this Section 15(h) and subsequently
resumes such payments, the first payment following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments which would have been made to each Beneficiary (together with interest) during the period of such discontinuance, less the
aggregate amount of payments made to the Beneficiary by the Grantor in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance. 
 (i) Any reference hereunder to a Beneficiary shall expressly be deemed to include, where relevant, the beneficiaries of a Beneficiary duly appointed under the terms of the Plans. A Beneficiary shall
cease to have such status once any and all amounts due such Beneficiary under the Plan have been satisfied. 

(j) Any reference hereunder to the Grantor shall expressly be deemed to include the Grantor’s successor and
assigns. 
 (k) Whenever used herein, and to the extent appropriate, the masculine, feminine or neuter
gender shall include the other two genders, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this TRUST AGREEMENT as of this 26th
day of September, 1988.

 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.

under this Agreement and (ii) the Marks do not infringe upon the rights of any third parties.

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

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.

 (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.

 (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
any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party informed as to the status of any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense. 

(d) In determining the amount of any Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the
gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Party and (ii) all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons. The Indemnified
Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to realize any applicable insurance proceeds or amounts recoverable under such contractual indemnities. 
 (e) The date on which the Indemnifying Party receives notification of a claim for indemnification shall determine whether such claim is timely made. 

(f) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION HEREUNDER COVER OR
INCLUDE CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS SUFFERED BY ANY OTHER PARTY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. 

ARTICLE IV
