 Section 2.5 Transfers Not Effected at the Asset Transfer Closing. 

(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that some of the transfers of the Transferred Assets contemplated by Section 2.1(a) may not be
effected at the Asset Transfer Closing due to the inability of the parties to obtain necessary Consents or the inability of the parties to take certain other actions necessary to effect such transfers at the Asset Transfer Closing. To the extent any
transfers of the Transferred Assets contemplated by Section 2.1(a) have not been fully effected at the Asset Transfer Closing, each of Dean Foods and WhiteWave shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts (and shall cause its
applicable Group Members to use commercially reasonable efforts) to obtain any necessary Consents or take any other actions necessary to effect such transfers of the Transferred Assets as promptly as practicable following the Asset Transfer Closing.

 (b) Nothing in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to constitute a transfer or assignment, or an
attempted transfer or assignment, of any Transferred Asset by any party (or any of its Affiliates) (an “Intended Transferor”) to any other party (or any of its Affiliates) (an “Intended Transferee”) to the extent
that such transfer or assignment, or attempted transfer or assignment, would constitute a breach of such Contract, result in the counterparty to such Contract acquiring the right to terminate such Contract or cause forfeiture or loss of such Asset.

  
 - 15 -

 (c) To the extent a transfer or assignment of any Transferred Asset is deferred pursuant to
Section 2.5(b), then the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to, or cause to be provided to, the Intended Transferee, to the extent not prohibited by Law, the rights of any such Transferred Asset and take such other
actions as may reasonably be requested by the other party in order to place the Intended Transferee, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such Transferred Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby. In connection
therewith, (i) the Intended Transferor shall promptly pass along to the Intended Transferee when received all benefits derived by the Intended Transferor with respect to any such Transferred Asset, and (ii) the Intended Transferee shall
pay, perform and discharge on behalf of the Intended Transferor all of the Intended Transferor’s Liabilities with respect to any such Transferred Asset in a timely manner and in accordance with the terms thereof which it may do without breach.
Upon the receipt of such Consents or the taking of such other actions as may be necessary to permit any transfer or assignment deferred pursuant to Section 2.5(b), this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Document shall be deemed to effect
such transfer or assignment. The party requesting cooperation under this Section 2.5(c) shall reimburse the party providing such cooperation for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses or fees paid by such providing party.

 Section 2.6 Shared Contracts. The parties agree as follows: 

(a) At the written request of WhiteWave, Dean Foods shall, and shall cause the other Dean Foods Group Members to, to the extent not
prohibited by the applicable Dean Foods Shared Contract and applicable Law and except where the benefits or rights under such Dean Foods Shared Contracts are specifically provided pursuant to an Ancillary Document, make available to applicable
WhiteWave Group Members benefits and rights that are substantially equivalent to the benefits and rights enjoyed by the Dean Foods Group under each Dean Foods Shared Contract for which such request is made by WhiteWave, to the extent such benefits
relate to the WhiteWave Business; provided, however, that the applicable WhiteWave Group Members shall assume and discharge (or promptly reimburse Dean Foods for) the Liabilities under the relevant Dean Foods Shared Contracts
associated with the benefits and rights so made available to them. 
 (b) At the written request of Dean Foods, WhiteWave shall,
and shall cause the other WhiteWave Group Members to, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable WhiteWave Shared Contract and applicable Law and except where the benefits or rights under such WhiteWave Shared Contracts are specifically provided

WhiteWave Shared Contract for which such request is made by Dean Foods, to the extent such benefits relate to the Dean Foods Business; provided, however, that the applicable Dean Foods Group Members shall assume and discharge (or
promptly reimburse WhiteWave for) the Liabilities under the relevant WhiteWave Shared Contracts associated with the benefits and rights so made available to them. 

  
 - 16 -

 (c) The parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their
respective reasonable best efforts to work together (and, if necessary and desirable, to work with the third party to each Shared Contract) in an effort to divide, partially assign, modify and/or replicate (in whole or in part) the respective rights
and obligations under and in respect of any Shared Contract, such that (i) a WhiteWave Group Member is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the
WhiteWave Business, which rights shall be a WhiteWave Asset and which obligations shall be a WhiteWave Liability, and (ii) a Dean Foods Group Member is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to such Shared
Contract relating to the Dean Foods Business, which rights shall be a Dean Foods Asset and which obligations shall be a Dean Foods Liability.

proceeds from the exercise of the Underwriters’ overallotment option if it is settled at the initial closing of the IPO) (after deducting the underwriting discount and expenses of the IPO) and substantially all of the initial net proceeds of
the WhiteWave Borrowing and cause WWF Operating Company to use such proceeds to repay to Dean Foods WWF Operating Company’s obligations under the Inter-Group Notes.

Schedule 2.8(a) and except for the Inter-Group Notes, immediately after the Asset Transfer Closing and immediately prior to the Contribution Closing, (i) all intercompany accounts receivable of WhiteWave or any WhiteWave Group Member that are
due from Dean Foods or any Dean Foods Group Member shall be offset by all intercompany accounts payable owed by WhiteWave or any WhiteWave Group Member to Dean Foods or any Dean Foods Group Member and (ii) any net accounts receivable shall be

shares of WhiteWave Common Stock to be included in the Distribution, and Dean Foods shall instruct the Distribution Agent to deliver to the WhiteWave Transfer Agent true, correct and complete copies of the stock and transfer records reflecting the
holders of Dean Foods Common Stock entitled to 

  
 - 22 -

 
receive shares of WhiteWave Common Stock in connection with the Distribution. Dean Foods shall cause its transfer agent to instruct the Distribution Agent to distribute on the Distribution Date
or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter the appropriate number of shares of WhiteWave Common Stock to each such holder or designated transferee(s) of such holder. Dean Foods shall cooperate, and instruct the Distribution Agent to cooperate,
with WhiteWave and the WhiteWave Transfer Agent, and WhiteWave shall cooperate, and instruct the WhiteWave Transfer Agent to cooperate, with Dean Foods and the Distribution Agent, in connection with all aspects of the Distribution and all other

 (b) Subject to Section 4.4(d), each holder of Dean Foods Common Stock on the Record Date (or such holder’s
designated transferee(s)) shall be entitled to receive in the Distribution a number of shares of WhiteWave Common Stock equal to the number of shares of WhiteWave Common Stock included in the Distribution multiplied by a fraction, (i) the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Dean Foods Common Stock held by such holder on the Record Date, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Dean Foods Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date. In the event that
the Distribution consists of more than one class of WhiteWave Common Stock, each holder of Dean Foods Common Stock shall receive shares of WhiteWave Common Stock, calculated as provided above, except that the calculation shall be performed
separately for each such class of stock. 
 (c) From and after the Distribution, WhiteWave shall regard each Person described in
Section 4.4(b) that is entitled to receive such WhiteWave Common Stock as the record holder of WhiteWave Common Stock received in accordance with the terms of the Distribution without requiring any action on the part of such Person, until such
time as such Person shall have duly transferred the WhiteWave Common Stock received in the Distribution in accordance with applicable Law. WhiteWave agrees that, subject to any transfers of such stock, (i) each such holder shall be entitled to
receive all dividends payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the shares of WhiteWave Common Stock then held by such holder, and (ii) each such holder shall be entitled, without any action on
the part of such holder, to receive one or more certificates representing, or other evidence of ownership of, the shares of WhiteWave Common Stock then held by such holder.

Foods Common Stock, the above provisions of this Section 4.4 shall not apply to the Distribution.

scrip representing fractional shares of WhiteWave Common Stock shall be issued in the Distribution. In lieu of receiving fractional shares, each holder of Dean Foods Common Stock that would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of
WhiteWave Common Stock pursuant to the Distribution shall receive cash for such fractional share. Dean Foods and WhiteWave shall instruct the Distribution Agent to determine the number of whole shares of WhiteWave Common Stock and fractional shares
of WhiteWave 

  
 - 23 -

 
Common Stock allocable to each holder of record of Dean Foods Common Stock as of the close of business on Record Date, to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole
shares obtained thereby in the open market at the then prevailing prices on behalf of holders that would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional share interests, and to distribute to each such holder such holder’s ratable share of the total
proceeds of such sale after making appropriate deductions of any amounts required for U.S. federal tax withholding purposes and after deducting any taxes attributable to the sale of such fractional share interests. 

Section 4.5 Equity for Debt Exchange.

third-party lenders and to answer questions from, and provide information to, such lenders concerning the WhiteWave Business (provided that no WhiteWave Group Member shall have any obligation pursuant to this clause (i) to provide any material,
non-public information to any such lender unless in the good faith judgment of Dean Foods the provision of such information is necessary or advisable to facilitate the Equity for Debt Exchange and such lender agrees, in a manner reasonably
acceptable to WhiteWave, to keep such information confidential and to comply with all federal and state securities laws with respect to such information) and (ii) executing and delivering any agreement entered into between Dean Foods and one or
more third-party lenders for the exchange by such lender(s) of indebtedness for shares of WhiteWave Common Stock, in a form reasonably acceptable to WhiteWave and Dean Foods. 
 (c) To the extent an Equity for Debt Exchange is structured as a private exchange for which a registration statement is not required to be filed under the Securities Act, WhiteWave agrees that it will
enter into a registration rights agreement with such lenders at the time of such Equity for Debt Exchange on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to WhiteWave.

 (i) Selection of WhiteWave Auditors. Unless otherwise required by Law or if
determined advisable by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of WhiteWave, WhiteWave shall not engage a different accounting firm than Deloitte & Touche LLP (or its affiliate accounting firms) (unless so requested by Dean Foods in
accordance with a change by Dean Foods in its accounting firm) to serve as its (and the WhiteWave Affiliates’) independent certified public accountants (the “WhiteWave Auditors”) without Dean Foods’ prior written consent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that, to the extent any such WhiteWave Affiliates are currently using a different accounting firm to serve as their independent certified public accountants, such WhiteWave
Affiliates may continue to use such accounting firm provided such accounting firm is and remains reasonably satisfactory to Dean Foods.

audit of WhiteWave and work papers related to the annual audit of WhiteWave, in all cases within a reasonable time prior to the WhiteWave Auditors’ opinion date, so that the Dean Foods Auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider
necessary to take responsibility for the work of the WhiteWave Auditors as it relates to the Dean Foods Auditors’ report on Dean Foods’ statements, all within sufficient time to enable Dean Foods to meet its timetable for the printing,
filing and public dissemination of the Dean Foods Annual Statements and Dean Foods’ quarterly financial statements. 
 (v)

(vii) Dean Foods Accounting Changes. Dean Foods shall give WhiteWave as much prior notice as reasonably practicable of any
proposed determination of, or any significant changes in, Dean Foods’ accounting estimates or accounting principles that relate to the WhiteWave Business. Dean Foods may request that WhiteWave make, and WhiteWave shall, in good faith, consider

Foods, WhiteWave shall consult with the Dean Foods Auditors with respect thereto. 
 (viii) Special Reports of Deficiencies
or Violations. WhiteWave shall report in reasonable detail to Dean Foods the following events or circumstances promptly after any executive officer of WhiteWave or any member of the WhiteWave Board of Directors becomes aware of such matter:
(A) all actual or potential significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect WhiteWave’s ability to record, process,
summarize or report financial information; (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in WhiteWave’s internal control over financial reporting; (C) any illegal act
within the meaning of Section 10A(b) and (f) of the Exchange Act; and (D) any report of a material violation of Law that an attorney representing any WhiteWave Group Member has formally made to any officers or directors of WhiteWave

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and consistent with SEC reporting requirements), WhiteWave shall (and shall cause each other WhiteWave Group Member to) (i) maintain in effect at WhiteWave’s own
cost and expense adequate systems and controls to the extent necessary to enable Dean Foods to satisfy its reporting, accounting, audit and other obligations, and (ii) provide to Dean Foods (in such form as WhiteWave retains such Information

 Section 5.2 Other Covenants. In addition to the other covenants contained in
this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, WhiteWave hereby covenants and agrees that, for so long as Dean Foods beneficially owns at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of all classes of then outstanding capital stock of
WhiteWave entitled to vote in the election of directors (“WhiteWave Voting Stock”): 
 (a) WhiteWave shall not,
without the prior written consent of Dean Foods, take, or cause to be taken, directly or indirectly, any action, including making or failing to make any election under the Law of any state, which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of
restricting or limiting the ability of Dean Foods to freely sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of shares of WhiteWave Common Stock or would restrict or limit the rights of any transferee of Dean Foods as a holder of WhiteWave Common
Stock. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, WhiteWave shall not, without the prior written consent of Dean Foods, take any action, or take any action to recommend to its stockholders any action, which would among other things, limit the
legal rights of, or deny any benefit to, Dean Foods as a WhiteWave stockholder either (i) solely as a result of the amount of WhiteWave Common Stock owned by Dean Foods or (ii) in a manner not applicable to WhiteWave stockholders
generally. 
 (b) WhiteWave shall not, without the prior written consent of Dean Foods, issue any shares of WhiteWave Capital
Stock or any rights, warrants or options to acquire WhiteWave Capital Stock (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for WhiteWave Capital Stock), if after giving effect to such issuances and considering all of the shares of WhiteWave
Capital Stock acquirable pursuant to such rights, warrants and options to be outstanding on the date of such issuance (whether or not then exercisable), Dean Foods would own less than fifty percent (50%) of the WhiteWave Voting Stock.

 (c) To the extent that Dean Foods is a party to any Contracts that provide that certain actions or inactions of Dean Foods
Affiliates (which for purposes of such Contract includes any WhiteWave Group Member) may result in Dean Foods being in breach of or in default under such Contracts and Dean Foods has advised WhiteWave of the existence, and has furnished WhiteWave
with copies, of such Contracts (or the relevant portions thereof), WhiteWave shall not take or fail to take, as applicable, and WhiteWave shall cause the other WhiteWave Group Members not to take or fail to take, as applicable, any actions that
would reasonably be expected to result in Dean Foods being in breach of or in default under any such Contract. The parties acknowledge and agree that from time to time Dean Foods may in good faith (and without the effect of imposing restrictions on
WhiteWave pursuant to this covenant that are not generally applicable to Dean Foods’ Subsidiaries) enter into additional Contracts or amendments to existing Contracts that provide that certain actions or inactions of Dean Foods Subsidiaries or
Affiliates (including, for purposes of this Section 5.2(c), WhiteWave Group Members) may result in Dean Foods being in breach of or in default under such Contracts. In such event, provided Dean Foods has notified WhiteWave of such additional
Contracts or amendments to existing Contracts and has furnished WhiteWave with copies of such additional Contracts or amendments to existing Contracts (or relevant portions thereof), WhiteWave shall not thereafter take or fail to take, as
applicable, and WhiteWave shall cause the other WhiteWave Group Members not to take or fail to take, as applicable, any actions that would reasonably be expected to result in Dean Foods being in breach of or in default under any such additional
Contracts or 

  
 - 33 -

 
amendments to existing Contracts. Dean Foods acknowledges and agrees that WhiteWave shall not be deemed in breach of this Section 5.2(c) to the extent that, prior to being notified by Dean
Foods of, and furnished with copies of, an additional Contract or an amendment to an existing Contract pursuant to this Section 5.2(c), a WhiteWave Group Member already has taken or failed to take one or more actions that would otherwise
constitute a breach of this Section 5.2(c) had such action(s) or inaction(s) occurred after such notification, provided that WhiteWave does not, after notification by Dean Foods, take any further action or fail to take any action that
contributes further to such breach or default. WhiteWave agrees that any Information provided to it pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) will constitute Information that is subject to WhiteWave’s obligations under Article 6. 

Section 5.3 Covenants Regarding the Incurrence of Indebtedness. 

(a) WhiteWave covenants and agrees that prior to the IPO Settlement, WhiteWave shall not, and WhiteWave shall not permit any other
WhiteWave Group Member to, without Dean Foods’ prior written consent, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage any negotiations or discussions with respect to any offer or proposal for WhiteWave Indebtedness, other than the
WhiteWave Bank Facilities. 
 (b) WhiteWave covenants and agrees, that notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to
the contrary, prior to the IPO Settlement, WhiteWave shall not, and WhiteWave shall not permit any other WhiteWave Group Member to, without the prior written consent of the Executive Committee of the Dean Foods Board of Directors, directly or
indirectly, (i) incur any WhiteWave Indebtedness (other than pursuant to the Inter-Group Notes and the WhiteWave Indebtedness set forth on Schedule 5.3); (ii) amend the WhiteWave Bank Facilities; or (iii) fail to comply in any
material respect with all of the terms and conditions of the WhiteWave Bank Facilities after giving effect to any applicable cure period provided for therein. 
 (c) WhiteWave covenants and agrees that after the IPO Settlement and through the Distribution Date, WhiteWave shall not, and WhiteWave shall not permit any other WhiteWave Group Member to, without the
prior written consent of the Executive Committee of the Dean Foods Board of Directors, directly or indirectly, (i) incur any WhiteWave Indebtedness other than pursuant to the WhiteWave Bank Facilities or as set forth on Schedule 5.3;
(ii) amend the WhiteWave Bank Facilities; or (iii) fail to comply in all material respects with all of the terms and conditions of the WhiteWave Bank Facilities after giving effect to any applicable cure period provided for therein. In
order to implement this Section 5.3(c), WhiteWave shall notify Dean Foods within a reasonable period of time, but in no event less than 24 hours prior to the time it or any other WhiteWave Group Member intends to incur any WhiteWave
Indebtedness of its intention to do so and obtain Dean Foods’ consent to the incurrence of such proposed additional WhiteWave Indebtedness. 
 (d) WhiteWave hereby covenants and agrees that, for so long as WhiteWave constitutes a “Restricted Subsidiary” as such term is defined in the Dean Foods Credit Agreement, WhiteWave shall not,
and WhiteWave shall not permit any other WhiteWave Group Member to, without Dean Foods’ prior written consent, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any WhiteWave Indebtedness or take any other action if the incurrence of such WhiteWave

  
 - 34 -

 
Indebtedness or such other action would cause Dean Foods to be in breach of or in default under any Contract the existence of which Dean Foods has advised WhiteWave and of which Dean Foods has
furnished WhiteWave a copy (including the Dean Foods Credit Agreement or any indenture or supplemental indenture governing Dean Foods’ senior notes), or if the incurrence of such WhiteWave Indebtedness could be reasonably likely to adversely
impact the credit rating of any Dean Foods indebtedness. 
 Section 5.4 Release of Guarantees and Substitution of
Deposits. WhiteWave shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Dean Foods to be released, on or prior to the Distribution Date, from the guarantees, security deposits, pledges, letters of credit and other security obligations (the
“Security Obligations”) relating to WhiteWave’s obligations and operations as set forth in Schedule 5.4. For the avoidance of doubt, Dean Foods shall have no obligation to WhiteWave under this Agreement to maintain
any Security Obligation beyond the Distribution Date. 
 Section 5.5 Release of Collateral and Subsidiary
Guarantees. Dean Foods shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (x) the Administrative Agent under the Dean Foods Credit Agreement to, at WhiteWave’s expense, execute and deliver to Dean Foods or WhiteWave such
instruments and documents, and take any other actions, as are reasonably requested by WhiteWave, to evidence the termination and release of the guarantees, liens, pledges, mortgages and security interests from any WhiteWave Group Member securing the
obligations under the Dean Foods Credit Agreement and (y) at WhiteWave’s expense, each WhiteWave Group Member to be fully and unconditionally released from its obligations under the Indenture, dated as of May 15, 2006, among Dean

such confidentiality and/or security obligations as the Possessor may reasonably deem necessary, the Requestor may have all requested Information duplicated at Requestor’s expense. Alternatively, the Possessor may choose to deliver, at the
Requestor’s expense, all requested Information to the Requestor in the form requested by the Requestor. The Possessor shall notify the Requestor in writing at the time of delivery if such Information is to be returned to the Possessor. In such

other party and upon reasonable advance notice, make available during normal business hours its respective employees (and those employees of its respective Group Members and Representatives, as applicable) to the extent that they are reasonably
necessary to discuss and explain all requested Information with and to the Requestor. Any Information provided pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall remain the property of the providing party. Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information.

Information owned by or in the possession of the WhiteWave Group and which is created prior to the Distribution Date that is no less stringent than Dean Foods’ record retention policy in effect as of the Contribution Closing or as Dean Foods
may modify such policy during the three (3) year period subsequent to the Distribution Date, provided that Dean Foods notifies WhiteWave of any such modifications. Each party shall, at its sole cost and expense, preserve and retain all

may be required by (a) any Governmental Authority, (b) any litigation matter, (c) applicable Law, or (d) any Ancillary Document (as applicable, the “Retention Period”). If either party wishes to dispose of any
Information that it is obligated to retain under this Section 6.4 prior to the expiration of the Retention Period, then that party shall first provide forty-five (45) days’ written notice to the other party, and the other party shall
have the right, at its option but at the expense of the party that desires to dispose of such Information, upon prior written notice within such 45-day period, to take possession of such Information within ninety (90) days after the date of the
notice provided pursuant to this Section 6.4. Written notice of intent to dispose of such Information shall include a description of the Information in detail sufficient to allow the other party to reasonably assess its potential need to retain

Section 8.3 Claim Procedure. 
 (a) Claim Notice. A Person that seeks indemnity under this Article 8 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the party from whom
indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”), whether the Damages sought arise from matters solely between the parties or from Third-Party Claims. With respect to matters solely between the parties, the Claim Notice must
contain (i) a description and, if known, estimated amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the
Claim Notice to the extent of facts then known by the Indemnified Party, and (iii) a demand for payment of those Damages. No delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the
Indemnifying Party of any Liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay or deficiency or the amount of any associated Damages is increased by such delay or deficiency. 

(b) Response to Notice of Claim. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall
deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall either: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount and, in which case, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the
Claimed Amount in accordance with a payment and distribution method reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; or (ii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all or any portion of the Claimed Amount. 

  
 - 45 -

 (c) Contested Claims. In the event that the Indemnifying Party disputes the Claimed
Amount, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.1 and Section 9.2. Upon ultimate resolution thereof, the parties shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to comply therewith. 

(d) Third-Party Claims. 
 (i) In the event that the Indemnified Party receives notice or otherwise learns of the assertion by a Person who is not a member of either Group of any claim or the commencement of any Action (any such
claim or Action, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which the Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Article 8, the Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party
of the Third-Party Claim. Such notification shall be given within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third-Party Claim, shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by such third
party (to the extent then in the possession of the Indemnified Party) and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third-Party Claim and the amount of the claimed
Damages; provided, however, that no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent that
the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay or deficiency or the amount of any associated Damages is increased by such delay or deficiency. If, and for so long as, (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than 15 days, after delivery of such notification that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify hereunder and desires to defend the Indemnified Party against
such Third-Party Claim, and (B) the Third-Party Claim does not (1) involve criminal liability or any admission of wrongdoing or (2) seek equitable relief or any other non-monetary remedy against the Indemnified Party, then except as
hereinafter provided, such Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend against such Third-Party Claim by appropriate proceedings with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or
diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion. During any period in which the Indemnifying Party has not so assumed control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense and is hereby authorized (but not
obligated) prior to and during such period to file any motion, answer or other pleading and to take any other action which the Indemnified Party shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Indemnified Party’s interests. 

(ii) The party not controlling such defense (the “Non-controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense;
provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party concludes, upon the written opinion of counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting
interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third-Party Claim, the reasonable fees and 

  
 - 46 -

 
expenses of one additional counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense (the “Controlling
Party”) shall keep the Non-controlling Party reasonably advised of the status of such Third-Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The
Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such Information as it may have with respect to such Third-Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any
written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third-Party Claim. 

(iii) The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if (A) the
Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment, (B) such settlement or judgment includes a full, complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from
further Liability and (C) such settlement involves no admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such
Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifiying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 Section 8.4 Survival; Limitations. 
 (a) All covenants and agreements
of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive each of the Contribution, the IPO and the Distribution. The rights and obligations of Dean Foods, WhiteWave and each of their respective Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall survive
the sale, assignment or other transfer by any party of any Assets or Liabilities. 
 (b) The amount of any Damages for which
indemnification is provided under this Agreement shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from any third Person (including amounts actually recovered under insurance policies) with respect to such Damages. An insurer
who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provision hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto. If any Indemnified
Party recovers an amount from a third Person in respect of Damages for which indemnification is provided in this Agreement after the full amount of such indemnifiable Damages has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has
made a partial payment of such indemnifiable Damages and the amount received from the third Person exceeds the remaining unpaid balance of such indemnifiable Damages, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the
excess (if any) of (X) the sum of the amount theretofore paid by such Indemnifying Party in respect of such indemnifiable Damages plus the amount received from the third Person in respect thereof, less (Y) the full amount of such
indemnifiable Damages. 

  
 - 47 -

 (c) Unless otherwise required by any Final Determination (as such term is defined in the Tax
Matters Agreement), the parties agree that any indemnification payments made by one party to another party pursuant to this Agreement after the Deconsolidation Date (as such term is defined in the Tax Matters Agreement) 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. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the joint and several indemnification obligations of each Group as set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2, the parties agree that the indemnification obligation of any Dean Foods Group
Member or WhiteWave Group Member, as applicable, for Damages shall be satisfied by a direct payment from Dean Foods or WhiteWave, as applicable, to the other party irrespective of which Group Member is found liable for Damages. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) to the extent there is any inconsistency between the terms of
this Article VIII and the provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern and (ii) to the extent the Employee Matters Agreement specifically provides indemnification with respect to certain employee-related
WhiteWave Liabilities, the Employee Matters Agreement shall govern with respect to that indemnification. To the extent indemnification is not provided in such Ancillary Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. 

(f) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR
ANY OF ITS GROUP MEMBERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, COLLATERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS SUFFERED BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DAMAGES
ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT TO THE EXTENT AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS REQUIRED TO PAY ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, COLLATERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS TO A PERSON WHO IS NOT A
MEMBER OF EITHER GROUP IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, SUCH DAMAGES SHALL CONSTITUTE DIRECT DAMAGES AND NOT SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATION SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 8.4(f). 
 (g) Notwithstanding a party’s knowledge of any breach by the other party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any facts or
circumstances potentially giving rise to a claim under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document (and regardless of how such party shall have acquired such knowledge), such party shall have the right to consummate the transactions provided for
herein, and all of such party’s rights and remedies shall be preserved without regard to its knowledge of such information. 

  
 - 48 -

 (i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Indemnified Party
be entitled to receive payment of damages under this Agreement to the extent that such Indemnified Party has received payments in respect of such Damages pursuant to any rights to indemnification or otherwise under any Ancillary Documents.

any Person to enforce this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings that are specified in Section 2.8(b) or the applicable Schedules thereto not to terminate as of the Contribution
Closing, in each case in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained in Section 8.5(a) or Section 8.5(b) shall release any Person from: 
 (i) any Liability provided in or resulting from any agreement among any Dean Foods Group Members or WhiteWave Group Members that is specified in Section 2.8(b) or the applicable Schedules thereto as
not to terminate as of the Separation Date, or any other Liability specified in such Section 2.8(b) as not to terminate as of the Separation Date;

products or services due on a value-received basis for work done by a Person in one Group at the request or on behalf of a Person in the other Group; 
 (v) any Liability that the parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement for claims brought against the parties by third Persons, which Liability shall be
governed by the provisions of this Article 8 and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Documents; or 

(vi) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than a Person released pursuant to this
Section 8.5. 
 (d) WhiteWave shall not, and shall not permit any other WhiteWave Group Member to, make any claim or
demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against any Dean Foods Group Member, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 8.5(a), with respect to any
Liabilities released pursuant to Section 8.5(a). Dean Foods shall not, and shall not permit any other Dean Foods Group Member to, make any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of
contribution or any indemnification against any WhiteWave Group Member, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 8.5(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 8.5(b). 

(e) It is the intent of each of Dean Foods and WhiteWave, by virtue of the provisions of this Section 8.5, to provide for a full and
complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed in each case
on or before the Separation Date, between or among any WhiteWave Group Member, on the one hand, and any Dean Foods Group Member, on the other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to exist between or among
any such Persons on or before the Separation Date), except as expressly set forth in Section 8.5(c). At any time, at the request of any other party, each party shall cause each Person in its respective Group to execute and deliver releases

 Section 8.6 Non-Recourse. All claims or causes of action (whether in contract or
in tor, in law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or related to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or such Ancillary Document (including any representation or
warranty made in connection with this Agreement or such Ancillary Document or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or such Ancillary Document), may be made only against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties thereto. No Person
who is not named as a party to this Agreement or such Ancillary Document, including any director, officer, employee, stockholder, Affiliate, agent or representative of any named party to this Agreement or such Ancillary Document (“Non-Party
Affiliates”), shall have any Liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose Liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any Liabilities arising under, in
connection with or related to this Agreement or such Ancillary Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or such Ancillary Document or its negotiation or execution; and each party hereto waives and releases
all such Liabilities against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.6. 
 Section 8.7 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article 8 is judicially determined to be unavailable (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in which
case this Section 8.7 shall not apply) to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Damages referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Dean Foods Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, and the WhiteWave Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, in connection with the
conduct, statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages. The relative fault of any Dean Foods Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and of any WhiteWave Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in the case of any Damages arising out of or related
to information contained in the IPO Registration Statement (or any related prospectus) shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission of
a material fact relates to information supplied by the WhiteWave Business or a WhiteWave Indemnified Party, on the one hand, or by the Dean Foods Business or a Dean Foods Indemnified Party, on the other hand. The Dean Foods Disclosure Portion shall

 Section 9.5 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Dcouemtn that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or thereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent

replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be
enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision
that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent

which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) the party seeking such remedy has an adequate
remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. 

Section 9.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Ancillary Documents and each of the exhibits and schedules
appended hereto and thereto, constitutes the final agreement between the parties, and is the complete and exclusive statement of the parties’ agreement on the matters contained herein and therein. All prior and contemporaneous negotiations and

 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.

Services Agreement 

 (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 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.
