Form of Transition Services Agreement

 Exhibit 10.2 
 FORM OF TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT 
 THIS TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”) is dated as of                     , 2012, between Dean Foods Company, a Delaware corporation (“Dean
Foods”), and The WhiteWave Foods Company, a Delaware corporation (“WhiteWave”). 
 WHEREAS, WWF
Operating Company, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dean Foods (“WWF Operating Company”), and the subsidiaries of WWF Operating Company engage in certain business (the “WhiteWave Business”);

 WHEREAS, Dean Foods has determined that it would be appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Dean Foods and Dean
Foods’ stockholders to separate the WhiteWave Business from Dean Foods pursuant to that certain Separation and Distribution Agreement among Dean Foods, WWF Operating Company and WhiteWave, dated as of the date hereof (the “Separation
Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the parties hereto deem it to be appropriate and in the best interests of WhiteWave and
Dean Foods that each party provide certain services to the other party to facilitate the separation described above on the terms and conditions set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Provision of Services. 
 (a) This Agreement shall become effective upon
the occurrence of the Contribution Closing (as defined in the Separation Agreement). Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Dean Foods shall provide WhiteWave with the services set forth on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the
“Dean Foods Initial Services”) and WhiteWave shall provide Dean Foods with the services set forth on Schedule B hereto (collectively with the Dean Foods Initial Services, the “Initial Services”). A party
providing any Service is referred to herein in such capacity as the “Provider” and a party receiving any Service is referred to herein in such capacity as the “Recipient.” 

(b) From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the parties may by written mutual written agreement identify additional services
that the Provider will provide to the Recipient in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Additional Services” and, together with the Initial Services, the “Services”). If the parties agree to add any
Additional Services, the parties will amend Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, for each such Additional Service setting forth the identities of the Provider and the Recipient, a description of such Service, the term during which
such Service will be provided, the Cost, if any, for such Service and any other provisions applicable thereto. In order to become a part of this Agreement, such amendment to the applicable Schedule must be executed by a duly authorized
representative of each party, at which time such Additional Service will, together with the Initial Services, be deemed to constitute “Services” for the purposes hereof and will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The
parties may, but will not be required to, agree on 

 Additional Services during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the foregoing or anywhere else in this Agreement, neither party will have any obligation to agree to provide Additional Services. 
 (c) Except as expressly contemplated in the Schedules, the Provider will not be obligated to perform or to cause to be performed any Service in a volume or quantity that exceeds on an annualized basis
110% of the historical volumes or quantities of Services performed by it or its Affiliates for the business of the Recipient during calendar year 2012 to date, without reference to the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement. Nothing
in this Agreement will require the Provider to prioritize or otherwise favor the Recipient over any third parties or any of the Provider’s or the Provider’s Affiliates’ business operations. 

(d) Each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with one another in the timely and orderly performance of
the Services. The Recipient acknowledges that some Services to be provided under this Agreement require instructions and information from the Recipient, which the Recipient will provide to the Provider sufficiently in advance in order to enable the
Provider to procure such Services in a timely manner. The Provider will not be liable for any delays resulting from or caused by the Recipient’s failure to provide such instructions or information in a timely manner. 

(e) The parties shall cooperate and use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents, additional licenses or
approvals from third-party hardware and software vendors, support and maintenance providers, outsourcing service providers, and other third parties that are required to enable the Provider to perform the Services, and the Recipient to receive the
benefit of the Services. The Recipient shall bear the costs of obtaining any such required consents. In the event that the parties are unable to obtain any such third-party consent, the parties shall work together to agree upon a commercially
reasonable alternative arrangement. The Recipient shall bear the costs of implementing any such alternative arrangement. 
 (f)
Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Provider from using its Affiliates, contractors or other Persons (any such Person providing any Service hereunder, a “Representative”) to perform all or any part of a Service hereunder. The
Provider will remain fully responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with its terms, including any obligations it performs through its Representatives, and the Provider will be solely responsible for
payments due any such Representatives. 
 (g) The Provider will provide each Service until the initial termination date for such
Service specified in the applicable Schedule (the “Initial Service Term”). During the Initial Service Term of any Service, the parties, by written mutual agreement, may agree to extend the Initial Service Term of such Service (an
“Extension Service Term”) or shorten the Initial Service Term of such service (a “Shortened Service Term”). If the parties agree to any Extension Service Term or Shortened Service Term, as applicable, the parties
will amend Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, to reflect the Extension Service Term or Shortened Service Term, as applicable, setting forth the identities of the Provider and the Recipient, a description of such Service, the
duration of the Extension Service Term or Shortened Service Term, as applicable, the cost, if any, for such Service during the Extension Service Term or Shortened Service Term, as applicable, and any other provisions applicable thereto. In order to
become a part of this 

  
 -2-

 
Agreement, such amendment to the applicable Schedule must be executed by a duly authorized representative of each party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or anywhere else
in this Agreement, neither party will have any obligation to agree to any Extension Service Term or Shortened Service Term, as applicable. 
 2. Consideration for Services. 
 (a) During the Initial Service Term of any
Service, the Provider will charge the Recipient the monthly cost to the Provider of providing such Service, as reflected on the applicable Schedule (the “Base Cost”), plus all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses paid to third
parties in connection with the performance of such Service, including any costs for which the Provider is entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 1(e) (“Third Party Costs”). The amount charged to the Recipient for any
Service during any Extension Service Term of such Service will be determined in accordance with Section 1(g) above. 
 (b)
The monthly Base Cost for any Service will be due and payable in arrears within 60 days after the end of the month for which such Service was provided. 
 (c) The Provider will provide the Recipient with monthly invoices reflecting any Third Party Costs paid by the Provider for any Service during any month. Invoices will be sent in a format and containing a
level of detail reasonably sufficient for the Recipient to determine the accuracy of the computation of the amount charged and that such amount is being calculated in a manner consistent with this Agreement. Reasonable documentation will be provided
for all Third Party Costs consistent with the Provider’s practices. All amounts invoiced by Provider under this Section 2(c) will be due and payable within 60 days of the date of invoice. Upon the Recipient’s reasonable request, the
Provider will provide explanations, answer questions and provide additional documentation regarding invoiced amounts. 
 (d)
Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by the parties hereto, all payments due under this Section 2 will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire transfer instructions delivered by the Provider to
the Recipient in writing from time to time. 
 (e) All amounts to be paid to the Provider under this Agreement are exclusive of
any and all sales, use, excise, services or similar taxes imposed on the provision of goods and services by the Provider or its Representatives to the Recipient pursuant to this Agreement (“Sales Taxes”). In addition to any amounts
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Recipient will be responsible for any and all Sales Taxes and will either (i) remit such Sales Taxes to the Provider (and the Provider will remit the amounts so received to the applicable taxing
authority) or (ii) provide the Provider with a certificate or other proof, reasonably acceptable to the Provider, evidencing an exemption from liability for such Sales Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts under this Agreement are
expressed exclusive of Sales Taxes. The parties agree to cooperate with each other in determining the extent to which any Sales Tax is due and owing under the circumstances, and will provide and make available to each other any resale certificate,
information regarding out of state use of materials, services or sale, and other exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by either party. The parties further agree to work together to structure the provision of the Services to
eliminate or minimize applicable Sales Taxes, including but not limited to, itemizing on any invoices each Service provided to the Recipient. 

  
 -3-

 (f) After the Contribution Closing (as defined in the Separation Agreement), except as
otherwise specified in this Agreement, each party hereto will pay its own legal, accounting, out-of-pocket and other expenses incident to this Agreement and to any action taken by such party in carrying this Agreement into effect. 

(g) All late payments due under this Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to the annualized interest rate at prime (as published
in the Wall Street Journal from time to time) plus one-and-a-half percentage points, from the invoice due date to the date of payment. If the Recipient disputes any portion of any Third Party Costs for which the Provider has invoiced Recipient, the
Recipient must notify the Provider in writing of the nature and the basis of the dispute within 90 days after the date of the applicable invoice, after which time the Recipient will be deemed to have waived any rights to dispute such amount.

 (h) The Provider will keep reasonably detailed records, consistent with past practice, for any Third Party Costs invoiced to
the Recipient. The Provider will maintain the records in accordance with its then-current record retention policies. At reasonable intervals during the term of this Agreement and for two years thereafter, the Recipient personnel will, upon no less
than five business days’ prior notice, or, if critical, upon reasonable shorter notice under the circumstances, have access to the records for the purpose of verifying the invoices submitted to the Recipient hereunder. The costs of all such
audits will be borne by the Recipient. The confidentiality provisions in Section 8 of this Agreement will govern all audits by the Recipient. 
 3. WARRANTIES. THIS IS A SERVICES AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR GUARANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 
 4. Standard of Conduct; Limitation on
Liability. 
 (a) The Provider shall have no liability with respect to its furnishing of Services except to the extent
resulting from the Provider’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (b) In no event shall either party have any
liability, whether based on contract, tort (including, without limitation, negligence), warranty or any other legal or equitable grounds, for any punitive, consequential, special, indirect or incidental loss or damage arising from or relating to
this Agreement, including without limitation, loss of data, profits (excluding profits under this Agreement), interest or revenue, or use or interruption of business, even if such party is advised of the possibility of such losses or damages.

 (c) In no event shall the Provider’s liability with respect to its furnishing of Services, whether based on contract,
tort (including without limitation, negligence), warranty or any other legal or equitable grounds, exceed in the aggregate the amount of fees paid to the Provider under this Agreement. 

  
 -4-

 5. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the termination of the last
remaining Service then provided, but may be terminated earlier: 
 (a) upon the mutual written agreement of the parties;

 (b) by either party in case of a material breach of any of the terms hereof by the other party if the breach is not remedied
within thirty (30) days after written notice of breach is delivered to the breaching party; 
 (c) by either WhiteWave or
Dean Foods, upon written notice to Dean Foods or WhiteWave, as the case may be, if Dean Foods or WhiteWave, as the case may be, shall become insolvent or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall be placed in receivership,
reorganization, liquidation or bankruptcy; 
 (d) by Dean Foods, upon written notice to WhiteWave, if, for any reason, the
ownership or control of WhiteWave becomes vested in, or is made subject to the control or direction of, any direct competitor of Dean Foods; or 
 (e) by WhiteWave, upon written notice to Dean Foods, if for any reason, the ownership or control of Dean Foods becomes vested in, or is made subject to the control or direction of, any direct competitor
of WhiteWave. 
 6. Performance. The Services shall be performed in the same manner and with the same skill and care as
the Provider employs in the service of its own business. 
 7. Independent Contractor. The Provider is providing the
Services as an independent contractor and the parties hereby acknowledge that they do not intend to create a joint venture, partnership or any other type of agency between them. 

8. Confidentiality. 
 (a) Each party will, and will cause its Representatives and their officers, directors, employees and agents to, hold as confidential and not disclose to any other Person any information received by it
under this Agreement that relates to the other party’s business or that relates to the other party’s activities or deliverables under this Agreement (“Confidential Information”). “Confidential Information”
includes: (i) this Agreement and its terms and conditions; (ii) the IP and Improvements; and (iii) any information obtained or reviewed by a party in the course of reviewing the other party’s records in accordance with this
Agreement. When a party discloses any of its Confidential Information to the other party it will make reasonable efforts to mark the information as “Confidential”, but any failure to mark the information as “Confidential” will
not cause the information to lose its status as Confidential Information nor will it relieve the receiving party of its obligations under this Section 8 with respect to that information. 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 8(a), each party may: (i) disclose the other party’s Confidential Information if legally
compelled to do so, provided that it promptly informs the other party of the required disclosure; (ii) disclose this Agreement as reasonably necessary in connection with efforts to resolve a Dispute; and (iii) disclose this Agreement to
third parties for strategic due diligence purposes if the third party has signed a confidentiality agreement covering the disclosure. 

  
 -5-

 (c) “Confidential Information” does not include any information that: (i) is
or becomes publicly known through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) is disclosed after the Distribution Date (as defined in the Separation Agreement), which such information was not known to the receiving party at the time of the
Distribution Date (as defined in the Separation Agreement) but became known to the receiving party prior to the time of receipt thereof from the disclosing party; (iii) is disclosed after the date of this Agreement to the receiving party by a
third party having no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party after the date of this Agreement without use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information as
documented by reasonable evidence. 
 (d) The parties’ obligations under this Section 8 will continue for five years
after the termination of this Agreement, except that to the extent that any Confidential Information constitutes a trade secret, the receiving party’s obligations with respect to that Confidential Information will continue for five years or for
such period as the information remains trade secret, whichever is longer. 
 9. Proprietary Rights. 

(a) Except with respect to those items of equipment, systems, tools, facilities and other resources allocated to the Recipient pursuant
to the Separation Agreement, all equipment, systems, tools, facilities and other resources used by the Provider and any of its Affiliates in connection with the provision of Services hereunder will remain the property of the Provider and its
Affiliates and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, will at all times be under the sole direction and control of the Provider and its Affiliates. 
 (b) To the extent the Provider or its Representatives use any know-how, processes, technology, trade secrets or other intellectual property owned by or licensed to the Provider or any of its
Representatives (“IP”) in providing the Services, such IP (other than such IP licensed to the Provider by the Recipient or its Affiliates) and any derivative works of, or modifications or improvements to, such IP conceived or
created as part of the provision of Services (“Improvements”) will, as between the parties, remain the sole property of the Provider unless such Improvements were specifically created for the Recipient or its Affiliates pursuant to
a specific Service as specifically and expressly agreed in writing by the parties. The applicable party will and hereby does assign to the applicable owner designated above, and agrees to assign automatically in the future upon first recordation in
a tangible medium or first reduction to practice, all of such party’s right, title and interest in and to all Improvements, if any. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is any conflict
between the terms of this Section 9(b) and specific terms of the Separation Agreement, then the terms of the Separation Agreement will prevail. 
 10. Force Majeure. Any delays in or failure of performance by either party, other than the payment of money, shall not constitute a default hereunder if and to the extent such delays or failures of
performance are caused by occurrences beyond the reasonable control of such party, including, but not limited to: acts of God or the public enemy; expropriation or 

  
 -6-

 
confiscation of facilities; compliance with any order or request of any governmental authority; acts of war; riots or strikes or other concerted acts of personnel; power failure; or any causes,
whether or not of the same class or kind as those specifically named above, which are not within the reasonable control of such party. 
 11. Survival. Sections 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 12 and 13 will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 
 12. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Separation Agreement. 

13. Counterparts and Signature. This Agreement and any may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or by
an electronic scan delivered by electronic mail), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties
hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

 Section 3.5 WhiteWave Group Federal Income Tax Liability. 

(a) In General. The WhiteWave Group Federal Income Tax Liability with respect to any Consolidated Return for a taxable period shall
be the WhiteWave Group’s liability for Federal Income Taxes as determined on a Pro Forma WhiteWave Group Consolidated Return prepared in accordance with Section 3.5(b) of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the WhiteWave Group
Federal Income Tax Liability with respect to any Consolidated Return shall not be less than zero. 
 (b) Pro Forma Federal
Return. For each Consolidated Return to the extent needed under this Agreement, Dean Foods shall prepare or cause to be prepared (and, as requested by Dean Foods, WhiteWave shall cooperate in preparing) a Pro Forma WhiteWave Group Consolidated
Return as if the WhiteWave Group were not and never were part of the Consolidated Group, but rather were a separate affiliated group of corporations of which WhiteWave were the common parent filing a consolidated federal income tax return pursuant
to Section 1501 of the Code. For purposes of this Section 3.5(b), the WhiteWave Group’s Federal Income Tax Liability shall (1) be determined for the taxable year including the Deconsolidation Date assuming the taxable year ends
on the Deconsolidation Date, (2) not be reduced by the WhiteWave Group’s carrybacks and carryovers of federal Tax Assets from other taxable periods (such items being addressed by Section 3.5(d) herein), (3) exclude the Tax
consequences of the Transactions, including any Tax consequences from the transfer or other movement of assets between the Dean Foods Group and the WhiteWave Group and the Tax consequences of any deferred intercompany transactions recognized as a

Articles IX and X of the Employee Matters Agreement be allocated between the Dean Foods Group and the WhiteWave Group in the same manner and same proportion as the corresponding book expense for financial accounting purposes and (5) be
determined assuming that the Dean Foods Group (not the WhiteWave Group) is entitled to any deductions arising from the payment or accrual of liabilities with respect to the Dean Foods EDCP and Dean Foods SERP (as defined in the Employee Matters
Agreement) pursuant to Article XI of the Employee Matters Agreement. 
 (c) Year of IPO. For purposes of this Agreement,
the taxable year that includes the date of this Agreement shall be treated as if it were comprised of two taxable periods, one of which ends on the date of this Agreement and one of which begins on the day after the date of this Agreement. For
purposes of computing the Federal Taxes attributable to each period of the taxable year, the amount of any item that is taken into account only once for each taxable year (e.g., the benefit of graduated tax rates, exemption amounts, etc.) shall be
allocated between the two portions of the year in proportion to the number of days in each portion. To the extent needed under this Agreement, the WhiteWave Group Federal Income Tax Liability shall be determined separately for each period.

  
 9 

 (d) Federal Tax Assets. Dean Foods shall pay to WhiteWave, not later than 30 business
days after Dean Foods makes a payment to, or receives a payment, credit or offset from any Tax Authority pursuant to this Article 3, the amount, if any, by which one or more federal Post-IPO WhiteWave Tax Assets reduces the Federal Income Tax
liability of the Consolidated Group for any taxable period. For purposes of computing the amount of the payment described in this Section 3.5(c), one or more federal Post-IPO WhiteWave Tax Assets shall be considered to reduce the Consolidated
Group’s Federal Income Tax liability in a given period by an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (1) the amount of the Consolidated Group’s Federal Income Tax liability for the period computed without regard to such Tax
Asset or Tax Assets and (2) the amount of the Consolidated Group’s Federal Income Tax liability for the period computed with regard to such Tax Asset or Tax Assets. 
 Section 3.6 WhiteWave Group Combined Tax Liability. 
 (a) In
General. The WhiteWave Group Combined Tax Liability with respect to any Combined Return for a taxable period shall be the WhiteWave Group’s liability for Non-Federal Combined Tax as determined on a Pro Forma WhiteWave Group Combined Return
prepared in a manner consistent with the principles and procedures set forth in Sections 3.5(b) and 3.5(c) hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the WhiteWave Group Combined Tax Liability with respect to any Combined Return shall not be less than
zero. 
 (b) Non-Federal Tax Assets. Dean Foods shall pay to WhiteWave, not later than 30 business days after Dean Foods
makes a payment to, or receives a payment, credit or offset from any Tax Authority pursuant to this Article 3, the amount, if any, by which one or more non-federal Post-IPO WhiteWave Tax Assets reduces the Non-Federal Combined Tax liability of the
applicable Combined Group for any taxable period. For purposes of computing the amount of the payment described in this Section 3.6(b), one or more non-federal Post-IPO WhiteWave Tax Assets shall be considered to reduce the Combined
Group’s Tax liability in a given period by an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (1) the amount of the Combined Group’s Tax liability for the period computed without regard to such Tax Asset or Tax Assets and (2) the
amount of the Combined Group’s Tax liability for the period computed with regard to such Tax Asset or Tax Assets. 
 Section 3.7
Tax Sharing Installment Payments. 
 (a) Federal Income Taxes. Not later than five business days prior to each
Estimated Tax Installment Date following the date hereof with respect to a Pre-Deconsolidation Period, Dean Foods shall determine under Section 6655 of the Code the estimated amount of the related installment of the WhiteWave Group Federal
Income Tax Liability for the taxable period. WhiteWave shall then pay to Dean Foods, not later than such Estimated Tax Installment Date, the amount thus determined. 
 (b) Non-Federal Combined Taxes. Not later than five business days prior to any estimated tax installment date following the date hereof with respect to a Combined Return for a Pre-Deconsolidation
Period, Dean Foods shall determine the estimated amount of the related installment of the WhiteWave Group Combined Tax Liability for the taxable period. WhiteWave shall pay to Dean Foods, not later than the due date for such installment, the amount

 Section 3.8 Tax Sharing True-Up Payments. 

(a) Federal Income Taxes. Not later than 30 business days after a Consolidated Return is filed following the date hereof with
respect to any Pre-Deconsolidation Period, Dean Foods shall deliver to WhiteWave a Pro Forma WhiteWave Group Consolidated Return or other comparable schedule reflecting the WhiteWave Group Federal Income Tax Liability for such period (or period
beginning after the date of this Agreement, in the case of the Consolidated Return including the date of this Agreement). Not later than 30 business days after the date such Pro Forma WhiteWave Group Consolidated Return or other schedule is
delivered, WhiteWave shall pay to Dean Foods, or Dean Foods shall pay to WhiteWave, as appropriate, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the WhiteWave Group Federal Income Tax Liability for such taxable period and the aggregate amount
paid by WhiteWave with respect to such taxable period under Section 3.7(a) of this Agreement. 
 (b) Non-Federal
Combined Taxes. Not later than 30 business days after a Combined Return is filed following the date hereof with respect to any Pre-Deconsolidation Period, Dean Foods shall deliver to WhiteWave a Pro Forma WhiteWave Group Combined Return or other
comparable schedule reflecting the WhiteWave Group Combined Tax Liability for such taxable period (or period beginning after the date of this Agreement, in the case of the Consolidated Return including the date of this Agreement). Not later than 30
business days following delivery of such Pro Forma WhiteWave Group Combined Return or other schedule, WhiteWave shall pay to Dean Foods, or Dean Foods shall pay to WhiteWave, as appropriate, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the
WhiteWave Group Combined Tax Liability for such taxable period and the amount paid by WhiteWave with respect to such taxable period under Section 3.7(b) of this Agreement. 
 Section 3.9 Redetermination Amount. 
 (a) In General. In the
event of any redetermination of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of any member of the Consolidated Group or any Combined Group as a result of a Final Determination or any settlement or compromise with any Tax Authority (including
any amended Tax Return or claim for refund filed by Dean Foods), WhiteWave shall pay Dean Foods or Dean Foods shall pay WhiteWave, as the case may be, the absolute value of the Redetermination Amount with respect to each Consolidated Return or
Combined Return affected by such redetermination, in the manner provided in Section 3.9(d). 
 (b) Computation. For
each Consolidated Return or Combined Return for which there is a redetermination, the Redetermination Amount shall be (i) the WhiteWave Group Federal Income Tax Liability or White Wave Group Combined Tax liability, as applicable, with respect
to such Tax Return as determined under Article 3 of this Agreement taking the redetermination into account minus (ii) the WhiteWave Group Federal Income Tax Liability or WhiteWave Group Combined Tax Liability, as applicable, with respect to
such Tax Return as determined under Article 3 of this Agreement without taking the redetermination into account. If the Redetermination Amount is positive, WhiteWave shall pay Dean Foods, the Redetermination Amount in the manner provided in
Section 3.9(d). If the Redetermination Amount is negative, Dean Foods shall pay WhiteWave the absolute value of the Redetermination Amount in the manner provided in Section 3.9(d). The applicable party shall also pay interest on the

  
 11 

 
Redetermination Amount for each day that payment of the Tax or refund, as applicable, would be overdue for such Tax Return calculated (i) with respect to redeterminations affecting Federal
Income Taxes, at the rate determined, in the case of payment by WhiteWave to Dean Foods, under Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code and, in the case of payment by Dean Foods to WhiteWave, under Section 6621(a)(1) of the Code, and (ii) with
respect to redeterminations affecting Non-Federal Combined Taxes, under similar laws, if any, of the applicable jurisdictions. 

(c) Tax Assets. If a redetermination results in an additional Tax Asset of the WhiteWave Group that does not reduce any WhiteWave
Group Federal Income Tax Liability or WhiteWave Group Combined Tax Liability, then Dean Foods shall pay WhiteWave, at the time such Tax Asset is used, the amount by which such additional Tax Asset reduces the Federal Income Tax liability or
Non-Federal Income Tax liability of the Consolidated Group or Combined Group, as applicable, in accordance with the principles set forth in Sections 3.5(d) and 3.6(b) (to the extent no payment is required for such Tax Asset under such sections).

 (d) Payment. Dean Foods shall deliver to WhiteWave a schedule reflecting the computation of any Redetermination
Amount. Not later than 30 business days after the date such schedule is delivered, WhiteWave shall pay Dean Foods, or Dean Foods shall pay WhiteWave, as applicable, the absolute value of the Redetermination Amount. 

(e) Year of the IPO. Consistent with Section 3.5(c), if there is a redetermination that affects a Consolidated Return or
Combined Return for the taxable year that includes the date of this Agreement, the Redetermination Amount shall be determined separately for the taxable period ending on the date of this Agreement and the taxable period beginning on the date after
this Agreement. 
 Section 3.10. Interest. Payments under this Article 3 that are not made within the prescribed period shall
thereafter bear interest at the Federal short-term rate established pursuant to Section 6621 of the Code. 
 Section 3.11.
Carrybacks. In the event any Tax Asset of the WhiteWave Group for any Post-Deconsolidation Period is eligible to be carried back to a Pre-Deconsolidation Period, WhiteWave shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, elect to carry such
amounts forward to any Post-Deconsolidation Period. If WhiteWave is required by law to carry back any such Tax Asset to a Pre-Deconsolidation Period, Dean Foods agrees to make a payment to WhiteWave to the extent that such a payment would otherwise
be required under the terms of Section 3.5(d) or Section 3.6(b) of this Agreement, net of any expenses incurred by Dean Foods or Dean Foods Affiliates. If subsequent to the payment by Dean Foods to WhiteWave of any such amount, there shall
be (1) a Final Determination which results in a disallowance or a reduction of the Tax Asset so carried back or (2) a reduction in the amount of the benefit realized by the Dean Foods Group for any reason, WhiteWave shall repay to Dean
Foods, within 30 business days of such event any amount which would not have been payable to WhiteWave pursuant to this Section 3.11 had the amount of the benefit been determined in light of these events. WhiteWave shall hold Dean Foods
harmless for any penalty, addition to Tax or interest payable by any member of the Dean Foods Group as a result of any such event. Any such amount shall be paid by WhiteWave to Dean Foods within 30 business days of the payment by Dean Foods or any
member of the Consolidated Group or Combined Group of any such penalty, addition to Tax, or interest. 

  
 12 

 Section 3.12 Deferred Compensation Plans and Other Incentive Plans. Pursuant to Article XI of
the Employee Matters Agreement, all liabilities accrued under the Dean Foods EDCP and Dean Foods SERP related to WhiteWave Employees and Former WhiteWave Employees shall be retained by, and remain the sole responsibility of, the appropriate member
of the Dean Foods Group (all capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Employee Matters Agreement). Dean Foods and WhiteWave shall cooperate in determining how the accrual or payment of such liabilities by the Dean Foods Group
shall be reported for Tax purposes. If any member of the WhiteWave Group is entitled to a deduction or other Tax Asset as a result of the accrual or payment by any member of the Dean Foods Group of such liabilities after the Deconsolidation Date, as
determined by the parties pursuant to the preceding sentence or as a result of an adjustment to the Tax Returns of the Dean Foods Group or WhiteWave Group by a Tax Authority, WhiteWave shall pay to Dean Foods, at the time such deduction or Tax Asset
is used, the amount by which such deduction or other Tax Asset reduces the Tax liability of the WhiteWave Group. In the event that the Distribution occurs after the Deconsolidation Date and the WhiteWave Group is entitled to any deductions arising
after the Deconsolidation Date but prior to the Distribution with respect to the long-term or short-term incentives described in Articles IX and X of the Employee Matters Agreement that would have been allocated to the Dean Foods Group pursuant to
Section 3.5(b), WhiteWave shall pay to Dean Foods, at the time such deduction is used, the amount by which such deduction reduces the Tax liability of the WhiteWave Group. 
 ARTICLE 4 
 DECONSOLIDATION AND DISTRIBUTION TAXES 

Section 4.1 Continuing Covenants. WhiteWave, for itself and the WhiteWave Affiliates, covenants that on or after a Deconsolidation it will
not (nor will it cause or permit any member of the WhiteWave Group ), in respect of any Pre-Deconsolidation Period, (a) make or change any tax election, (b) change any accounting method, (c) amend any Tax Return or take any Tax
position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with any Tax position on any Tax Return of the Dean Foods Group, or (d) take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any transaction that results in any increased Tax liability or
reduction of any Tax Asset of the Dean Foods Group. 
 Section 4.2 Additional Continuing Covenants. 

(a) WhiteWave Restrictions. WhiteWave agrees that it will not (1) issue any stock of WhiteWave (or any instrument that is
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into any such stock) if such issuance, would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause Dean Foods to own stock of WhiteWave that on a fully diluted basis, does not constitute “control” (within the
meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code) of WhiteWave, and (2) as long as Dean Foods owns stock of WhiteWave constituting control (within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code), knowingly take or fail to take, or permit any
WhiteWave Affiliate to knowingly take or fail to take, any action that could reasonably be expected to preclude Dean Foods’s ability to effectuate the Distribution or the Equity for Debt Exchange (to the extent such exchange is intended to meet
the requirements of Section 361(c)(3)) as a tax-free transaction under Sections 355 and 

  
 13 

 
361(c) of the Code. In the event of the Distribution, WhiteWave agrees that (1) it will take, and cause each WhiteWave Affiliate to take, any action reasonably requested by Dean Foods in
order to enable Dean Foods to effectuate the Distribution or the Equity for Debt Exchange (to the extent such exchange is intended to meet the requirements of Section 361(c)(3)) as a tax-free transaction under Sections 355 and 361(c) of the
Code and (2) it will not take or fail to take, or permit any WhiteWave Affiliate to take or fail to take, any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with any written representations of an officer of WhiteWave pursuant
to Section 4.2(e) of this Agreement with respect to any material, information, covenant or representation that relates to facts or matters related to WhiteWave, any WhiteWave Affiliate, or the WhiteWave Business or within the control of
WhiteWave or any WhiteWave Affiliate in a Representation Letter, Tax Opinion, Supplemental Tax Opinion, Ruling Documents, Supplemental Ruling Documents, Ruling, or Supplemental Ruling other than as permitted by Section 4.2(c) of this Agreement.
For this purpose an action is considered inconsistent with a representation if the representation states that there is no plan or intention to take such action. In the event of the Distribution, WhiteWave agrees that it will not take (and it will
cause the WhiteWave Affiliates to refrain from taking) any position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Distribution or the Equity for Debt Exchange (to the extent such exchange is intended to meet the requirements of
Section 361(c)(3)) as a tax-free transaction under Sections 355 and 361(c) of the Code. 
 (b) Dean Foods
Restrictions. In the event of the Distribution, Dean Foods agrees that it will not take or fail to take, or permit any Dean Foods Affiliate to take or fail to take, any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with any
material, information, covenant or representation that relates to facts or matters related to Dean Foods (or any Dean Foods Affiliate) or the Dean Foods Business or within the control of Dean Foods and is contained in a Representation Letter, Tax
Opinion, Supplemental Tax Opinion, Ruling Documents, Supplemental Ruling Documents, Ruling, or Supplemental Ruling. For this purpose an action is considered inconsistent with a representation if the representation states that there is no plan or
intention to take such action. In the event of the Distribution, Dean Foods agrees that it will not take (and it will cause the Dean Foods Affiliates to refrain from taking) any position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with the treatment of the
Distribution or the Equity for Debt Exchange (to the extent such exchange is intended to meet the requirements of Section 361(c)(3)) as a tax-free transaction under Sections 355 and 361(c) of the Code. 

(c) Certain WhiteWave Actions. WhiteWave agrees that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending two years
following the Distribution, without first obtaining, at WhiteWave’s own expense, (i) a Supplemental Ruling that such action will not result in Distribution Taxes, (ii) a Supplemental Tax Opinion from Tax Counsel selected by WhiteWave
that such action will not result in Distribution Taxes that is acceptable to Dean Foods in its reasonable discretion, or (iii) the consent of Dean Foods to the action proposed to be taken, WhiteWave shall not and shall not permit any WhiteWave
Affiliate to: 
 (1) sell all or substantially all of the assets of WhiteWave or any WhiteWave Affiliate or sell, transfer, or
issue any stock of a WhiteWave Affiliate (other than a sale, transfer, or issuance to another member of the WhiteWave Group that would not cause the Distribution to fail to qualify as a tax-free Distribution under Section 355); 

  
 14 

 (2) liquidate or merge WhiteWave or any WhiteWave Affiliate with another entity (other than
a liquidation or merger with or into another member of the WhiteWave Group that would not cause the Distribution to fail to qualify as a tax-free distribution under Section 355), without regard to which party is the surviving entity;

 (3) transfer any assets of WhiteWave in a transaction described in Section 351 or subparagraph (C) or (D) of
Section 368(a)(1) of the Code (other than a transfer to a corporation, including any entity that is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes, which files a consolidated return with WhiteWave and which is wholly-owned, directly or
indirectly, by WhiteWave); 
 (4) subject to Section 4.2(f), issue stock of WhiteWave (or any instrument that is convertible
or exchangeable into any such stock) (excluding any issuance pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or other employment-related arrangements having customary terms and conditions and that satisfy the requirements of Safe Harbor VIII as
set forth in Treasury Regulations § 1.355-7(d)(8) (“Option Issuances”)), which would result in the acquisition by one or more persons of more than the Applicable Percentage (by vote or value) of the stock of WhiteWave, determined
under the principles of Section 355(e) of the Code, when aggregated with all issuances, redemptions, sales or other acquisitions of WhiteWave stock during such period, excluding (i) the issuance of shares in the IPO, (ii) any transfer
by the Dean Foods Group permitted pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement , (iii) Option Issuances, (iv) acquisitions in the public market that satisfy the requirements of Safe Harbor VII as set forth in
Treasury Regulations § 1.355-7(d)(7), and (v) an issuance or other acquisition for which a Supplemental Ruling or a Supplemental Tax Opinion has been obtained that such issuance or acquisition will not be treated as part of a plan with the
Distribution under one of the safe harbors set forth in Treasury Regulation §1.355-7(d); 
 (5) facilitate or otherwise
participate in any acquisition of stock in WhiteWave that would result in any shareholder owning five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding stock of WhiteWave; 
 (6) redeem or repurchase WhiteWave stock in a manner contrary to the requirements of Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to its modification by Revenue Procedure 2003-48
and as may be modified or amended from time to time) or in any other manner contrary to the representations made in any Representation Letter, Ruling Documents, or Supplemental Ruling Documents; or 

(7) discontinue, cease, transfer or dispose of its active trades or businesses as defined for purposes of Section 355. 

WhiteWave or any WhiteWave Affiliate shall only undertake any of such actions after Dean Foods’s receipt of such Supplemental Tax Opinion or
Supplemental Ruling and pursuant to the terms and conditions of any such Supplemental Tax Opinion or Supplemental Ruling or as otherwise consented to in writing in advance by Dean Foods. Dean Foods agrees to cooperate

  
 15 

 
with WhiteWave to seek to obtain, as expeditiously as possible, a Supplemental Ruling or Supplemental Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting WhiteWave to undertake any of such actions. The
parties hereby agree that they will act in good faith to take all reasonable steps necessary to amend this Section 4.2(c), from time to time, by mutual agreement, to (A) add certain actions to the list contained herein, or (B) remove
certain actions from the list contained herein, in either case, in order to reflect any relevant change in law, regulation or administrative interpretation occurring after the date of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 4.2(c) shall limit
the liability of WhiteWave for any Distribution Taxes that are WhiteWave’s responsibility under the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) Notice of Specified Transactions. Not later than 30 days prior to entering into any oral or written contract or agreement, and not later than 5 days after it first becomes aware of any
negotiations, plan or intention (regardless of whether it is a party to such negotiations, plan or intention), regarding any of the transactions described in Section 4.2(c) of this Agreement (whether or not a transaction is permitted under the
terms hereof without first obtaining a Supplemental Tax Opinion, a Supplemental Ruling or agreement from Dean Foods), WhiteWave shall provide written notice of its intent to consummate such transaction or the negotiations, plan or intention of which
it becomes aware, as the case may be, to Dean Foods. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2(d) to the contrary, no such written notice shall be required for Option Issuances. 

(e) WhiteWave Cooperation. WhiteWave agrees that, at the request of Dean Foods, WhiteWave shall cooperate fully with Dean Foods to
take any action necessary or reasonably helpful to effectuate the Distribution or the Equity for Debt Exchanges, including seeking to obtain, as expeditiously as possible, a Tax Opinion, Supplemental Tax Opinion, Ruling, and/or Supplemental Ruling.
Such cooperation shall include the execution of any documents that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with obtaining any Tax Opinion, Supplemental Tax Opinion, Ruling, and/or Supplemental Ruling (including, without limitation, any
(1) power of attorney, (2) Representation Letter, (3) Ruling Documents, (4) Supplemental Rulings Documents, and/or (5) reasonably requested written representations confirming that (A) WhiteWave has read the
Representation Letter, Ruling Documents, and/or Supplemental Ruling Documents and (B) all information and representations, if any, relating to WhiteWave, any WhiteWave Affiliate, or the WhiteWave Business contained in the Representation Letter,
Ruling Documents, and/or Supplemental Ruling Documents are true, correct and complete in all respects). 
 (f)
Deconsolidation. Notwithstanding Section 4.2(c)(4), WhiteWave shall not issue any stock prior to the Distribution without the consent of Dean Foods if such issuance would cause a Deconsolidation. 

Section 4.3 Indemnity. 
 (a) Dean Foods Indemnification. Dean Foods shall be liable for and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless WhiteWave and each WhiteWave Affiliate and each of their respective representatives and
each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing from and against: 

  
 16 

 (1) any Distribution Taxes, to the extent that such Distribution Taxes are

Dean Foods Affiliate, or the Dean Foods Business in a Representation Letter, Tax Opinion, Supplemental Tax Opinion, Ruling Documents, Supplemental Ruling Documents, Ruling, or Supplemental Ruling (for the avoidance of doubt, disclosure of any action
or fact that is inconsistent with any material, information, covenant or representation submitted to Tax Counsel, the IRS, or other Tax Authority, as applicable, in connection with a Representation Letter, Tax Opinion, Supplemental Tax Opinion,
Ruling Documents, Supplemental Ruling Documents, Ruling, or Supplemental Ruling shall not relieve Dean Foods (or any Dean Foods Affiliate) of liability under this Agreement); (B) any action or omission by Dean Foods (or any Dean Foods
Affiliate), including a cessation, transfer, or disposition of its active trades or businesses as defined for purposes of Section 355, stock buyback or payment of an extraordinary dividend by Dean Foods (or any Dean Foods Affiliate);

of any person which is or has ever been affiliated with Dean Foods or any Dean Foods Affiliate or with which Dean Foods or any Dean Foods Affiliate joins or has ever joined (or is or has ever been required to join) in filing any consolidated,
combined or unitary income Tax Return for any taxable period ending on or before the Deconsolidation Date except to the extent the WhiteWave Group is liable for such Taxes pursuant to Section 4.3(b); 

(3) all Taxes for any tax period (whether beginning before, on or after the Deconsolidation Date), and any other Losses,
attributable to the breach by Dean Foods or any Dean Foods Affiliate of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement; 
 (4) all Taxes imposed on either Dean Foods or any Dean Foods Affiliate or WhiteWave or any WhiteWave Affiliate as a result of the Transactions, including all Taxes (whether federal or state) arising out

Section 3.9 hereof. 

  
 17 

 (b) WhiteWave’s Indemnification. WhiteWave shall be liable for and shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Dean Foods and each Dean Foods Affiliate and each of their respective representatives and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing from and against: 

(1) any Distribution Taxes, to the extent that such Distribution Taxes are attributable to, caused by, or result from, one
or more of the following: (A) any action or omission by WhiteWave (or any WhiteWave Affiliate) that is inconsistent with any written representations of an officer of WhiteWave pursuant to Section 4.2(e) of this Agreement with respect to
any material, information, covenant or representation related to WhiteWave, any WhiteWave Affiliate, or the WhiteWave Business in a Representation Letter, Tax Opinion, Supplemental Tax Opinion, Ruling Documents, Supplemental Ruling Documents,
Ruling, or Supplemental Ruling (for the avoidance of doubt, disclosure of any action or fact that is inconsistent with any material, information, covenant or representation submitted to Tax Counsel, the IRS, or other Tax Authority, as applicable, in

 18 

 (c) Treatment of Payments. Unless otherwise required by any Final Determination, the
parties agree that any payments made by one party to another party pursuant to this Agreement after the Deconsolidation Date shall, to the extent permissible under applicable law, be treated for all Tax and financial accounting purposes as
contributions or distributions, as appropriate, made immediately prior to the Deconsolidation Date. If it is determined that the receipt or accrual of any payment is subject to Tax, such payment shall be increased so that the amount of such
increased payment reduced by the amount of all Taxes payable with respect to the receipt thereof (but taking into account all correlative Tax deductions resulting from the payment of such Taxes) shall equal the amount of the payment which the party
receiving such payment would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement. 
 Section 4.4 Equity Compensation.
WhiteWave shall be entitled to claim on its Tax Returns any tax deduction attributable to the exercise or vesting, following the Distribution, of an option or restricted stock unit that was converted from an option or restricted stock unit of Dean
Foods to an option or restricted stock unit of WhiteWave, and neither Dean Foods nor any Dean Foods Affiliate shall attempt to claim any such Tax deduction. WhiteWave shall withhold applicable Taxes and satisfy applicable Tax reporting requirements
with respect to the exercise or vesting of options or restricted stock units to purchase WhiteWave stock.
