Group the services necessary to operate, manage, maintain and report the
operating results of the Partnership’s assets, including gathering pipelines,
compressors, treating facilities, transportation pipelines or related equipment
or assets (the “Partnership Assets”) and that the Anadarko Entities will second

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend and restate the Existing Agreement to

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Anadarko, Occidental
and the General Partner hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
SECONDMENT

1.1
Seconded Employees.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Anadarko and Occidental agree that the
Anadarko Entities will second to the General Partner, and the General Partner
agrees to accept the secondment of, those certain specifically identified
individuals (each, a “Seconded Employee” and collectively, the “Seconded
Employees”) listed on a “Seconded Employee Schedule” for the purpose of
performing job functions related to the Partnership Assets (the “Secondment”).
The Seconded Employee Schedule, as it may be modified from time to time in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be maintained by the Anadarko
Entities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and made available to
the General Partner for inspection upon request. The Parties acknowledge that
the Seconded Employee Schedule, as in effect as of the date hereof,

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

has been made available by the Anadarko Entities to the General Partner and is
agreed among the parties as to both form and substance. The Seconded Employees
will remain during the Period of Secondment (as defined below) employees of the
Anadarko Entities but, in addition, they will also be temporary employees of the
General Partner during the Period of Secondment and shall, at all times during
the Period of Secondment, work under the direction, supervision and control of
the General Partner. During the Period of Secondment, the General Partner will
have the right to direct the Anadarko Entities as to the compensation terms for
and to cause the Anadarko Entities to discharge the Seconded Employees and,
subject to the provisions in Section 1.2, Anadarko will not have the right to
cause the Anadarko Entities to terminate the Secondment to the General Partner
or otherwise exercise direction, supervision or control over the Seconded
Employees. For each Seconded Employee, the “Period of Secondment” shall be that
period of time as set forth in Section 1.2. Seconded Employees shall have no
authority or apparent authority to act on behalf of the Anadarko Entities during
the Period of Secondment. The Seconded Employee Schedule sets forth the names of
the Seconded Employees seconded by the Anadarko Entities, the job functions of
the Seconded Employees and the starting date for the Period of Secondment for
each Seconded Employee. Individuals may be added or removed from the Seconded
Employee Schedule from time to time by the execution by the Parties of a
completed “Addition/Removal/Change of Responsibility of Seconded Employee” form,
the form of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A, which will be
fully binding on the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement. Those rights
and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that relate to individuals
that were on the Seconded Employee Schedule but then later removed from the
Seconded Employee Schedule, which rights and obligations accrued before the
removal of such individual, will survive the removal of such individual from the
Seconded Employee Schedule to the extent necessary to enforce such rights and
obligations. The Anadarko Entities shall cause the Seconded Employees to provide
to the General Partner during the Period of Secondment those services necessary
to operate, manage, maintain and report the operations of the Partnership Assets
(the “Secondment Services”). During the Period of Secondment, the Anadarko
Entities shall be liable and responsible for (and, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the Partnership Entities shall have no liability or
responsibility for) timely payment of wages, and the withholding and payment of
all applicable federal, state and local and other taxes as required by
applicable law, and provision of benefits to the Seconded Employees. During the
Period of Secondment, no Seconded Employee shall be entitled to any
compensation, payment, benefit or perquisite directly from the Partnership or
any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Partnership Entities”), or the
general partner of the Partnership (“WES GP”), including, but not limited to,
wages and participation in any employee benefit (whether pension, health and
welfare or otherwise) plans sponsored or maintained by the Partnership Entities
or WES GP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the date of this Agreement,
during the Period of Secondment, the Partnership Entities or WES GP may, in
their sole discretion, award any Seconded Employee equity compensation, subject
to such terms and conditions as determined by the Partnership Entities or WES
GP, as applicable, in the Partnership. From the date of this Agreement, during
the Period of Secondment, Occidental shall not, and shall cause the Anadarko
Entities not to, award any Seconded Employee equity compensation in Occidental
or any Anadarko Entity.
1.2
Period of Secondment.

The Anadarko Entities will second to the Partnership Entities each Seconded
Employee on the start date set forth on the Seconded Employee Schedule and
continue to second, during the period (and only during the period) that the
Seconded Employee is performing services for the General Partner, until the
earliest of:
A.
the end of the term of this Agreement;

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B.
the end date, if any, set forth for the Seconded Employee on the Seconded
Employee Schedule (or another end date for such Seconded Employee as mutually
agreed in writing by the Parties) (the “End Date”);

C.
a withdrawal, departure, resignation or termination of such Seconded Employee
under Section 1.3;

D.
the date upon which the General Partner and Anadarko mutually agree in writing
to terminate the Secondment of the Seconded Employee to the General Partner;

E.
the date on which an Affiliate of Occidental or Anadarko ceases to own a
majority of the issued and outstanding voting equity of WES GP and the Parties
have taken such actions as are reasonably necessary to cause the Seconded
Employees to be transferred to the appropriate Partnership Entity in accordance
with Section 1.4; and

F.
the date upon which Anadarko, Occidental and the General Partner mutually
determine to terminate the Period of Secondment for all Seconded Employees and
to transition the employment of the Seconded Employees to the Partnership or one
of its Affiliates (the “Seconded Employee Transfer Date”), which is presently
anticipated to occur prior to the end of 2020.

At the end of the Period of Secondment for any Seconded Employee, subject to
Section 1.4, such Seconded Employee will no longer be subject to the direction
of the General Partner with regard to the Seconded Employee’s day-to-day
activities.
1.3
Withdrawal, Departure or Resignation.

Anadarko and Occidental will use reasonable efforts to cause the Anadarko
Entities to prevent any early withdrawal, departure or resignation of any
Seconded Employee prior to the End Date for such Seconded Employee’s Period of
Secondment. If any Seconded Employee tenders his resignation to an Anadarko
Entity as an employee of such Anadarko Entity, Anadarko or Occidental, as
applicable, will promptly notify the General Partner. During the Period of
Secondment for any Seconded Employee, the Anadarko Entities will not voluntarily
withdraw or terminate any Seconded Employee except with the written consent of
the General Partner (which may be through the execution of a completed
Addition/Removal/Change of Responsibility of Seconded Employee form), such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Anadarko and Occidental will indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the General Partner and its directors, officers and
employees against any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees), claims, demands, losses, liabilities, obligations, actions, lawsuits and
other proceedings, judgments and awards (each, a “Loss” and collectively, the
“Losses”) arising out of or in any way connected with or related to the
termination of employment of any Seconded Employee by any Anadarko Entity
without the consent of the General Partner, EVEN THOUGH SUCH LOSS MAY BE CAUSED
IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ONE OR MORE OF THE PARTNERSHIP ENTITIES, except to
the extent that such Losses (i) arise solely out of or result solely from the
negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Partnership
Entities, or (ii) arise in connection with the termination of a Seconded
Employee for cause. The General Partner will indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Anadarko Entities and their directors, officers and employees against any
and all Losses arising out of or in any way connected with or related to the
termination of employment of any

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seconded Employee by any Anadarko Entity at the instruction of the General
Partner, EVEN THOUGH SUCH LOSS MAY BE CAUSED IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ONE OR
MORE OF THE ANADARKO ENTITIES, except to the extent that such Losses (i) arise
solely out of or result solely from the negligence, gross negligence or willful
misconduct of any of the Anadarko Entities, or (ii) arise in connection with the
termination of a Seconded Employee for cause. Upon the termination of
employment, the Seconded Employee will cease performing services for the General
Partner.
1.4
Transfer of Seconded Employees to the Partnership.

Upon the expiration of the Period of Secondment under clauses E or F of Section
1.2 or at such earlier time or times as the General Partner and Anadarko or
Occidental, as applicable, may mutually determine in writing, the General
Partner, the Partnership and the Anadarko Entities will reasonably cooperate and
take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate (including if determined by
the General Partner or the Anadarko Entities by causing a subsidiary of the
Partnership to make offers of employment to the applicable Seconded Employees)
to cause the employment of all of the individuals who remained Seconded
Employees as of immediately prior to the expiration of the Period of Secondment
to be transferred to one or more subsidiaries of the Partnership (such transfer
of employment, the “Seconded Employee Transfer” and the Seconded Employees who
transfer employment to the Partnership or its Affiliate, the “Transferred
Seconded Employees”), provided, however, that any Seconded Employee who is then
not in active service with the Anadarko Entities as a result of any long-term
disability or other approved leave of absence (other than due to vacation,
holiday, illness or injury of shorter duration than a long-term disability, jury
duty or bereavement leave) (an “Inactive Seconded Employee”) shall remain an
employee of the Anadarko Entities and shall be transferred to the Partnership or
one of its Affiliates only upon his or her return to active service, provided
that such return occurs within one hundred eighty (180) days after the
expiration of the Period of Secondment or such later time as may be required by
applicable law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Period of
Secondment of any Inactive Seconded Employee shall be deemed to continue until
such Inactive Seconded Employee returns to active service and is transferred to
a subsidiary of the Partnership or such Inactive Seconded Employee terminates
employment with the Anadarko Entities. The General Partner and the Anadarko
Entities shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide (or cause to be
provided) that the terms and conditions of employment of the Transferred
Seconded Employees as of immediately after the Seconded Employee Transfer will
be substantially the same as the terms and conditions of employment of such
employees immediately prior to the Seconded Employee Transfer. For purposes of
clarity, with respect to employee benefits to be provided by the Partnership and
its subsidiaries, the terms and conditions of employment shall be deemed to be
substantially the same as long as such employee benefits are substantially
similar in value in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided by the
Anadarko Entities immediately prior to the transfer. The Parties intend that the
Seconded Employee Transfer will not result in a separation of employment for
purposes of any severance or termination pay arrangement of the Anadarko
Entities in which the Seconded Employees may participate and the Parties shall
take reasonable actions to carry out such intent. Subject to the foregoing, the
Anadarko Entities will be solely liable and responsible for (and the Partnership
Entities shall have no liability or responsibility for) any severance or
separation or termination pay resulting from the merger of a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Occidental with and into Anadarko on August 8, 2019 (the “Merger”)
or any Seconded Employee Transfer, provided that the Partnership Entities shall
not continue to employ any employee who receives separation or termination pay
as a result of a Seconded Employee Transfer and shall not re-hire such Seconded
Employee for a period of 2 years. The Anadarko Entities shall waive any
restrictive covenants or other obligations to which a Transferred Seconded
Employee

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

may be subject pursuant to an agreement with the Anadarko Entities to the extent
such covenants or other obligations would interfere with Transferred Seconded
Employee’s employment with the Partnership or its Affiliates. Effective upon the
Seconded Employee Transfer, the applicable subsidiary of the Partnership will
assume (without duplication of any amounts payable hereunder as the Secondment
Fee) all liabilities with respect to the Transferred Seconded Employees for (i)
all earned or accrued but unused vacation and personal time off benefits, (ii)
annual cash performance bonuses for the year in which the Seconded Employee
Transfer occurs, and (iii) any written individual employment, severance,
retention or other individual agreements (including offer letters) entered into
prior to the date of this Agreement or, with the consent of the General Partner,
after the date of this Agreement, between a Transferred Seconded Employee on the
one hand and any Anadarko Entity on the other hand. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the foregoing, neither the Partnership nor any of its Affiliates
shall assume obligations or liabilities with respect to any of the following:
(i) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, any payments to Seconded
Employees under: any group severance or separation plan, agreement or similar
arrangement of Occidental or the Anadarko Entities (a “Severance Plan”),
including, but not limited to, (x) the Amended and Restated Anadarko Petroleum
Corporation Change of Control Severance Plan originally adopted on January 29,
1998 (as amended, the “Anadarko Change of Control Severance Plan”), or (y) the
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation 2019 Voluntary Separation Plan (“Anadarko
Voluntary Separation Plan”), (ii) the excess of actual bonus amounts awarded
under Anadarko’s Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) for calendar year 2019 (paid in
calendar year 2020) to any Seconded Employee over 120% of such Seconded
Employee’s AIP bonus target, (iii) any retention or similar payments (other than
any payments pursuant to an arrangement entered into by an Anadarko Entity after
the date hereof at the direction of the General Partner pursuant to Section
1.1), (iv) any outstanding equity or long-term incentive awards (whether vested,
unvested, deferred or otherwise) granted by an Anadarko Entity, whether settled
in securities, cash or otherwise, or (v) any group retirement (whether or not
tax qualified) or welfare benefit plan of any Anadarko Entity. As more fully set
forth in Article VII below, with respect to any payments made to Seconded
Transferred Employees (or Management Transferred Employees (as defined below))
under a Severance Plan (other than payments resulting from the Merger or any
Seconded Employee Transfer or Management Employee Transfer (as defined below),
for which the Partnership Entities shall have no liability or responsibility)
the Partnership or its applicable subsidiary will assume (without duplication)
liabilities with respect to an amount representing no more than the greater of
(i) 6 months of such Seconded Employee’s base salary or (ii) an amount such
Seconded Employee would be entitled to receive under the formulas that were set
forth in Anadarko’s non-change of control Severance Plan or Officer Severance
Plan, as applicable. The Parties intend that upon the Seconded Employee
Transfer, the Transferred Seconded Employees will be eligible to participate in
the health and welfare and retirement benefit plans of the Partnership or its
applicable Affiliate, subject to the prior establishment thereof by the
Partnership or its applicable Affiliate and to the terms and conditions of the
plans providing such benefits, and, unless otherwise provided pursuant to
Article V hereof or any other transition service arrangement as may be
implemented among the Parties or their Affiliates, will cease to participate as
active employees in the health and welfare and retirement benefit plans of the
Anadarko Entities. The Anadarko Entities’ benefit plans will remain liable and
responsible for all benefit claims incurred before the applicable Seconded
Employee Transfer Date by Transferred Seconded Employees or their eligible
dependents. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, (i) a claim for
health benefits (including claims for medical, prescription drug and dental
expenses) will be deemed to have been incurred on the date on which the actual
medical service, treatment or material was rendered to or received by the
Transferred Seconded Employee or eligible dependent claiming such benefit, and
(ii) regarding any claim for benefits other than those

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

designated in the preceding clause (i) (such as a claim for life insurance or
disability benefits), a claim will be deemed to have been incurred on the date
of the event giving rise to such claim.
1.5
Supervision.

During the Period of Secondment, the General Partner shall:
A.
be ultimately and fully responsible for the daily work assignments of the
Seconded Employee (and with respect to Seconded Employees that also provide
services to the Anadarko Entities in connection with its operations (“Shared
Seconded Employees”), during those times that the Shared Seconded Employees are
performing services for the General Partner hereunder), including supervision of
their day-to-day work activities and performance consistent with the purposes
stated in Section 1.1 and the job functions set forth in the Seconded Employee
Schedule;

B.
set the hours of work and the holidays and vacation schedules (other than with
respect to Shared Seconded Employees, as to which the General Partner and the
Anadarko Entities shall jointly determine) for the Seconded Employee; and

C.
have the right to determine training which will be received by the Seconded
Employee.

In the course and scope of performing any Seconded Employee’s job functions, the
Seconded Employee will be integrated into the organization of the General
Partner, will report into the General Partner’s management structure, and will
be under the direct management and supervision of the General Partner. The
General Partner shall designate one or more of its officers to be responsible
for the supervisory function set forth in this Section 1.5 on behalf of the
General Partner.
1.6
Workers Compensation.

At all times, Anadarko and Occidental will cause the Anadarko Entities to
maintain workers’ compensation insurance (either through an insurance company or
self-insured arrangement) applicable to the Seconded Employees. Anadarko and
Occidental will cause the Anadarko Entities to name the General Partner and, as
applicable, the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries, as an also insured
employer under such insurance policy. Anadarko will periodically take reasonable
steps to notify the Seconded Employees that they are employees during the
Secondment Period of the Anadarko Entities and the General Partner (and, as
applicable, the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries) and that for any work
place injury, the Seconded Employee’s sole remedy will be under such Anadarko
Entity’s workers’ compensation insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall preclude a Seconded Employee from participating in benefit
programs generally available to employees of Anadarko Entities. Except as set
forth in Section 2.2F, the Anadarko Entities shall (i) remain solely responsible
for all worker’s compensation costs and claims of any Seconded Employees which
relate to events occurring prior to the Seconded Employee Transfer Date, and
(ii) will not be responsible for any worker’s compensation costs and claims of
any Transferred Seconded Employees which relate to events occurring after the
Seconded Employee Transfer Date.
ARTICLE II
SECONDMENT FEE

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.1
Payment of Secondment Fee by General Partner.

On or before the fifth business day of each month, Anadarko and/or Occidental
shall send an invoice to the General Partner for that amount of money associated
with all expenses incurred by the Anadarko Entities in connection with the
performance of the Secondment Services during the preceding month (the
“Secondment Fee”). The General Partner shall pay such invoice within 30 days of
receipt unless disputed in good faith in accordance with Section 8.22.
2.2
Components of the Secondment Fee.

Among other items, but without duplication of fees provided under any other
agreement among the Parties or their Affiliates, the Secondment Fee shall
include all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by the Anadarko
Entities for the Seconded Employees, including, but not limited to:
A.
compensation, including salary, wages and bonuses (including the employer
portion of payroll taxes associated therewith);

B.
401(k) costs including matching 401(k) contributions, pension accruals in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and the cost of
supplemental retirement and non-qualified deferred compensation plans;

C.
vacation and sick leave benefits;

D.
medical and health insurance benefits;

E.
disability insurance;

F.
workers’ compensation insurance;

G.
life insurance;

H.
severance payments, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement;

I.
costs incurred by any Anadarko Entity in relation to any Partnership equity or
long-term incentive awards granted to any Seconded Employee; and

J.
any other employee benefit for which the Anadarko Entities incur costs.

The costs and expenses described in (A) through (J) above are referred to as
“Seconded Employee Expenses.” For the avoidance of any doubt, the following are
not Seconded Employee Expenses and shall not be included in the Secondment Fee:
(i) except as set forth in this paragraph, any payments made to Seconded
Employees under Severance Plans (other than payments resulting from the Merger
or any Seconded Employee Transfer or Management Employee Transfer (as defined
below), for which the Partnership Entities shall have no liability or
responsibility), in excess of the greater of (x) 6 months of such Seconded
Employee’s base salary and (y) an amount such Seconded Employee would be
entitled to receive under the formulas that were set forth in Anadarko’s
non-change in control Severance Plan or Officer Severance Plan, as applicable,
(ii) the excess of actual bonus amounts awarded under the AIP to any Seconded
Employee for calendar year 2019 (paid in calendar year 2020) over 120% of such
Seconded Employee’s AIP bonus target, (iii) any

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

retention payments (other than any payments pursuant to an arrangement entered
into by an Anadarko Entity after the date hereof at the direction of the General
Partner pursuant to Section 1.1) and (iv) any outstanding equity or long-term
incentive awards (whether vested, unvested, deferred or otherwise) granted by an
Anadarko Entity, whether settled in securities, cash or otherwise. Where it is
not reasonably practicable to determine the cost of such a cost or expense, the
applicable Anadarko Entity may make a good faith reasonable estimate of such
cost or expense (and provided that any such estimates, other than with respect
to benefit load, are “trued up” within 10 days of the end of each quarter based
on the actual amount of the expenses, expenditures or payments in respect of
which estimates were made in the immediately preceding quarter). The applicable
Anadarko Entity may include the costs and expenses described in (B) through (G)
above in a percentage benefit load reasonably determined in good faith based
upon the amount of costs and expenses for base salary or base wages incurred in
(A) above. Such benefit load is currently 45% of the applicable Seconded
Employee’s base salary or base wages and will remain at such level unless there
is a change in the costs of providing such benefits to all employees under the
applicable benefit plans and not only to the Seconded Employees. If benefits
under a Severance Plan are extended to a Seconded Employee at the direction of
the General Partner pursuant to Section 1.1 of this Agreement after the date of
this Agreement (and the employee was not eligible to participate in or receive
benefits under such Severance Plan prior to the date of this Agreement), then
the amount of such severance payments included in the Secondment Fee will not
subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) of this paragraph above.    
ARTICLE III
ALLOCATION; RECORDS; AGENT

3.1
Allocation; Records.

The Anadarko Entities will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain an
allocation schedule reflecting the direct and indirect costs of the Seconded
Employee Expenses based on the Secondment Services. The General Partner will use
commercially reasonable efforts to keep and maintain books/records reflecting
hours worked and costs and expenses incurred in connection with each of the
Seconded Employees, and the Anadarko Entities will have the right from time to
time upon its reasonable request to audit such books/records maintained by the
General Partner. The General Partner and its representatives will have the right
to audit the allocation schedule and such other records as the General Partner
may reasonably require in connection with its verification of the Seconded
Employee Expenses during regular business hours and on reasonable prior notice.
Based on these records, the General Partner may request adjustments under
Section 2.2 above.
3.2
Agent.

Seconded Employee Expenses remain the primary legal responsibility of the
General Partner as the employer of the Seconded Employees during the Secondment
Period. The Anadarko Entities agree to act as agent for the General Partner in
paying the Seconded Employee Expenses of the employees temporarily assigned
under this Secondment Agreement. The Anadarko Entities agree to indemnify and
hold the General Partner harmless from any and all Losses incurred by the
General Partner or any of the other Partnership Entities related to the Anadarko
Entities’ failure to carry out its duties as agent for the payment of the
Seconded Employee Expenses as set forth above, except to the extent that such
Losses arise out of or result from the negligence, gross negligence or willful
misconduct of any of the Partnership Entities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE IV
ADDITIONAL EMPLOYMENT TRANSFERS
4.1
Transfer of Management Employees.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, effective as of not later than December
31, 2019, the employment of certain management level employees providing
services to the Partnership and its subsidiaries has been or will be transferred
to the Partnership or one of its subsidiaries in a manner similar to that
described in Section 1.4 (such employees, the “Management Transferred Employees”
and such date of transfer the “Management Employee Transfer Date”), provided,
however, that for purposes of administrative convenience, such transfer, for
purposes of payroll may not occur until January 12, 2020. From and after
December 31, 2019, the Management Transferred Employees shall report solely to
the General Partner and WES GP. From the Management Employee Transfer Date
through the expiration of the Period of Secondment (or such earlier time as the
Parties shall agree in writing) but not for a period that extends beyond
December 31, 2020, the Management Transferred Employees shall, provided they
remain employed with the Partnership Entities, continue to participate, at the
expense of the Partnership Entities with respect to employer costs (which costs
shall be determined in a manner consistent with the health and welfare benefits
costs included in the Secondment Fee), as active employees in the health and
welfare benefit plans of the Anadarko Entities on the same terms and conditions
as if still employed by the Anadarko Entities. The Partnership and the Anadarko
Entities will reasonably cooperate and take such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate (including if determined by the General Partner or the Anadarko
Entities by causing a subsidiary of the Partnership to make offers of employment
to the Management Transferred Employees) to cause the employment of the
Management Transferred Employees to be transferred to the Partnership or one of
its subsidiaries. The Parties intend that the transfer of the Management
Transferred Employees to the Partnership or one of its subsidiaries (the
“Management Employee Transfer”) will not result in a separation of employment
for purposes of any severance or termination pay arrangement of the Anadarko
Entities in which the Management Transferred Employees may participate and the
Parties shall take reasonable action to carry out such intent. Subject to the
foregoing, the Anadarko Entities will be solely responsible and liable for (and
the Partnership Entities shall have no liability or responsibility for) any
severance or separation or termination pay resulting from the Merger or a
Management Employee Transfer, provided that the Partnership Entities shall not
continue to employ any employee who receives such separation or termination pay
as a result of a Management Employee Transfer and shall not re-hire such
Management Employee for a period of 2 years. For the avoidance of doubt, from
and after such transfer of employment, the Management Transferred Employees are
not Seconded Employees. The Anadarko Entities shall waive any restrictive
covenants or other obligations to which a Management Transferred Employee may be
subject pursuant to an agreement with the Anadarko Entities to the extent such
covenants or other obligations would interfere with Management Transferred
Employee’s employment with the Partnership or its Affiliates.
4.2
Management Transferred Employee Liabilities.

Effective as of the date of transfer of employment of the Management Transferred
Employees, the Partnership or its applicable Affiliate will assume (without
duplication) all liabilities with respect to the Management Transferred
Employees for (i) all earned or accrued but unused vacation and personal time
off benefits, (ii) the portion of annual cash performance bonuses for 2019
attributable to the Management Transferred Employees services to the General
Partner, the Partnership or its subsidiaries in 2019, and (iii) any written
individual employment, severance, retention or other individual agreements
(including offer

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

letters) entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, or, with the consent
of the General Partner, after the date of this Agreement, between a Management
Transferred Employee on the one hand and any Anadarko Entity on the other hand.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, neither the
Partnership nor any of its Affiliates shall assume liabilities with respect to
any of the following: (i) payments to Management Transferred Employees arising
under Severance Plans (other than payments resulting from the Merger or any
Management Employee Transfer, for which the Partnership Entities shall have no
liability or responsibility) in excess of the greater of (x) 6 months of such
Management Transferred Employee’s base salary and (y) an amount such Seconded
Employee would be entitled to receive under the formulas that were set forth in
Anadarko’s non-change in control Severance Plan or Officer Severance Plan, as
applicable, (ii) the excess of actual bonus amounts awarded under the AIP to any
Management Transferred Employee for calendar year 2019 (payable in calendar year
2020) over 120% of such Management Transferred Employee’s AIP bonus target,
(iii) any retention payments pursuant to an arrangement entered into by an
Anadarko Entity prior to the date of this Agreement, (iv) any outstanding equity
or long-term incentive awards (whether vested, unvested, deferred or otherwise)
granted by an Anadarko Entity, whether settled in securities, cash or otherwise,
or (v) any group retirement (whether or not tax qualified) or welfare benefit
plan of any Anadarko Entity. The Parties intend that upon the establishment
thereof upon the expiration of the Period of Secondment, the Management
Transferred Employees will be eligible to participate in the health and welfare
and retirement benefit plans of the Partnership or its applicable Affiliate and,
unless otherwise provided pursuant to Article V hereof or any other transition
service arrangement as may be implemented among the Parties or their Affiliates,
will cease as of the expiration of the Period of Secondment to participate as
active employees in the health and welfare or retirement benefit plans of the
Anadarko Entities. The Anadarko Entities’ benefit plans will remain responsible
for all claims for benefits incurred by the Management Transferred Employees or
their eligible dependents during the period in which they were participating in
the health and welfare plans of the Anadarko Entities in accordance with this
Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, (i) a claim for health benefits
(including claims for medical, prescription drug and dental expenses) will be
deemed to have been incurred on the date on which the actual medical service,
treatment or material was rendered to or received by the Management Transferred
Employee or eligible dependent claiming such benefit, and regarding any claim
for benefits other than those designated in the preceding clause (i) (such as a
claim for life insurance or disability benefits), a claim will be deemed to have
been incurred on the date of the event giving rise to such claim.
ARTICLE V
ADDITIONAL SHARED SERVICES
5.1
Shared Services.

In addition to the Secondment Services, the Anadarko Entities will provide, on
behalf of the General Partner and for the benefit of the Partnership Entities,
additional required centralized overhead services, including, without
limitation, the services identified on Exhibit B (the “Shared Services”). The
Shared Services will be performed by employees of the Anadarko Entities who
provide services with respect to both the Partnership Entities and the Anadarko
Entities (“Shared Employees”). The Shared Employees shall not be entitled to any
payment, benefit or perquisite directly from the General Partner or the
Partnership Entities on account of performance of the Shared Services,
including, but not limited to, wages, group insurance and participation in any
employee benefit and pension plans maintained by the General Partner or the
Partnership Entities. The Anadarko Entities will (i) direct and control the
Shared Employees providing the Shared Services and (ii) be solely responsible
for determining and enforcing daily management and labor policies concerning

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Shared Employees performing the Shared Services. The Anadarko Entities shall
be wholly responsible for all employment obligations and liabilities with
respect to the Shared Employees, including the payment and provision of all
wages, bonuses and commissions and employee benefits, including severance and
worker’s compensation, and the withholding and payment of all applicable
federal, state and local and other taxes, including any contributions from them
as required by applicable law. The Anadarko Entities shall maintain workers
compensation insurance (either through an insurance company or self-insured
arrangement) applicable to the Shared Employees. Anadarko will cause the
Anadarko Entities to name the General Partner and, as applicable, the
Partnership Entities, as an also insured employer under such insurance policy.
5.2
Payment of Services Fee by General Partner.

On or before the fifth business day of each month, Anadarko and/or Occidental
shall send an invoice (the “Services Fee Invoice”) to the General Partner for
that amount of money associated with all expenses incurred by the Anadarko
Entities in connection with the performance of the Shared Services during the
preceding month (the “Services Fee”). With respect to the Shared Employees, the
Services Fee Invoice shall include reasonable time-writing detail for Shared
Employees and be itemized in sufficient detail to identify the Services Fee and
its components charged for each individual Shared Service listed on Exhibit B.
The General Partner shall pay the Services Fee Invoice within 30 days of receipt
unless disputed in good faith in accordance with Section 8.22.
5.3
Components of Services Fee; Allocation Methodology

Among other items, the Services Fee shall include all reasonable costs and
expenses actually incurred by the Anadarko Entities in connection with the
provision of the Shared Services. With respect to the costs and expenses
associated with the Shared Employees, this will include, without limitation, the
following:
A.
compensation, including salary, wages and bonuses (including the employer
portion of payroll taxes associated therewith);

B.
401(k) costs including matching 401(k) contributions, pension accruals in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and the cost of
supplemental retirement and non-qualified deferred compensation plans;

C.
vacation and sick leave benefits;

D.
medical and health insurance benefits;

E.
disability insurance;

F.
workers’ compensation insurance;

G.
life insurance; and

H.
any other employee benefit for which the Anadarko Entities incur costs.

The costs and expenses described in (A) through (H) above are referred to as
“Shared Employee Expenses.” For the avoidance of any doubt, the following are
not Shared Employee Expenses and shall not be included in the Services Fee: (i)
the excess of actual bonus amounts awarded under the AIP to any Shared

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Employee for calendar year 2019 (paid in calendar year 2020) over 120% of such
Shared Employee’s AIP bonus target, (ii) payments under any Severance Plan,
(iii) any retention payments and (iv) any outstanding equity or long-term
incentive awards (whether vested, unvested, deferred or otherwise) granted by an
Anadarko Entity, whether settled in securities, cash or otherwise. Additionally,
for the avoidance of doubt, the Shared Services Fee will include any expenses or
expenditures paid by the Anadarko Entities on behalf of WES pursuant to the
payment agent and accounts payable Shared Services functions. Except as set
forth on Exhibit B or as otherwise agreed among the Parties from time to time,
the costs and expenses associated with the Shared Employees will be allocated
between the Anadarko Entities and the Partnership Entities based on a good faith
reasonable calculation by the Anadarko Entities of the relative amounts of time
that the Shared Employees spend providing services with respect to the Anadarko
Entities and the Partnership Entities, as applicable. Where it is not reasonably
practicable to determine the cost of such an allocated cost or expense, the
applicable Anadarko Entity may make a good faith reasonable estimate of such
allocated cost or expense (and provided that any such estimates, other than with
respect to benefit load, are “trued up” within 10 days of the end of each
quarter based on the actual amount of the allocated expenses, expenditures or
payments in respect of which estimates were made in the immediately preceding
quarter). Anadarko or the applicable Anadarko Entity may include the allocated
costs and expenses described in (B) through (G) above in a percentage benefit
load reasonably determined in good faith based upon the amount of costs and
expenses for the base salary or base wages incurred in (A) above.
5.4
Other Matters Relating to Expenses

A.
On or before January 15, 2020, Occidental shall make a one-time payment of
$20,000,000 to the General Partner for the benefit of the Partnership Entities,
which payment shall not be included in the Secondment Fee or Services Fee or be
considered a similar expense under this Agreement. The General Partner shall
cause the Partnership Entities to use such funds to facilitate the Partnership
Entities’ ability to perform the Shared Services at the end of the period
provided for in Article VI.

B.
Pending negotiation and execution of definitive lease agreements, the Parties
hereto agree that the total rent expense that will be charged by the Anadarko
Entities to the Partnership and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31,
2020 shall, with respect to leased space, be equal to the actual rent amounts
actually paid by the Anadarko Entities therefor, and shall be invoiced monthly
in connection with the Services Fee in the manner set forth in Section 5.2.

5.5
Records and Audits

The Anadarko Entities will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain
records reflecting the allocated direct and indirect costs of the Shared
Employee Expenses based on the Shared Services. The General Partner and its
representatives will have the right to audit such records as the General Partner
in connection with its verification of the Shared Employee Expenses during
regular business hours and on reasonable prior notice. Based on these records,
the General Partner may request adjustments under Section 5.3 above.
ARTICLE VI
TERM OF SHARED SERVICES

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With respect to the Shared Services, the term of this Agreement will commence on
the Effective Date and will continue for an initial period of 2 years. Upon the
expiration of the initial 2 year period, the term of this Agreement shall
automatically extend for an additional 6 month period, unless either Party
provides at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the other Party, prior to the
expiration of such initial period, that the Party wishes for this Agreement to
expire at the end of the initial 2 year period. After the initial 6 month
renewal period, the term of this Agreement with respect to the Shared Services
shall automatically extend for additional 6 month periods, unless either Party
provides prior written notice, at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the
applicable 6 month period, that the Party wishes for this Agreement to expire at
the end of such 6 month period. Upon proper notice by a Party to the other
Party, in accordance with this Article VI, that the Party wishes for this
Agreement to expire with respect to the Shared Services on the expiration of the
applicable 2 year or 6 month period, this Agreement shall not, with respect to
the Shared Services, automatically extend, but shall, except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein, instead expire upon the expiration of the applicable
2 year or 6 month period and only those provisions related to the Shared
Services that, by their terms, expressly survive this Agreement shall so
survive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the General Partner may terminate
this Agreement with respect to any individual Shared Service listed on Exhibit
B, or all of the Shared Services, in each case at any time, upon 30 days prior
written notice to Anadarko and Occidental, and (ii) Anadarko and Occidental
shall have the right but not the obligation to terminate this Agreement with
respect to the Shared Services immediately upon written notice upon or following
the date on which an Affiliate of Occidental or Anadarko ceases to own a
majority of the issued and outstanding voting equity of WES GP, provided that
the General Partner has entered into satisfactory arrangements, which it
determines in good faith, will provide it with suitable qualified and
experienced employees or secondees necessary to perform the Shared Services. In
the event that Anadarko and Occidental terminate this Agreement with respect to
the Shared Services, Anadarko and Occidental will, if requested by the General
Partner and subject to continued payment of the applicable Services Fee,
continue to provide, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for a period
of up to an additional six months, such of the Shares Services as are reasonably
necessary for the General Partner or the Partnership Entities to comply with
their material legal, regulatory or contractual obligations as in effect as of
the date of termination of this Agreement with respect to the Shared Services.
ARTICLE VII
PARTNERSHIP PAYMENTS UNDER CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENTS, CHANGE OF CONTROL
SEVERANCE PLAN AND VOLUNTARY SEPARATION PLAN
Effective as of the date of this Agreement (or, with respect to the Transferred
Seconded Employees, the date of the Seconded Employee Transfer), WES GP shall
and the General Partner shall cause the applicable Partnership Entity to, assume
or adopt as a participating employer therein, as applicable, but only to the
extent such assumption or adoption does not result in duplication of benefits,
the Anadarko Change of Control Severance Plan and each Anadarko Petroleum
Corporation Key Employee Change in Control Contract entered into with each
Management Transferred Employee and Transferred Seconded Employee (each a “CIC
Agreement”), provided, however, that in the event that WES GP, the General
Partner or any of the Partnership Entities are required to make any payments to
Seconded Transferred Employees or Management Transferred Employees, in either
case who as of the date of this Agreement were a party to or eligible to
participate in a CIC Agreement or a Severance Plan, as a result of the adoption
or assumption of, or the contractual agreement to make payments as set forth in,
a CIC Agreement, the Anadarko Change of Control Severance Plan or the Anadarko
Voluntary Separation Plan, (i) the Anadarko Entities shall reimburse the General
Partner or

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partnership Entity, as applicable, for the portion such payments that exceeds
the greater of (x) 6 months of such employee’s base salary or (y) an amount such
employee would be entitled to receive under the formulas that were set forth in
Anadarko’s non-change in control Severance Plan or Officer Severance Plan, as
applicable and (ii) such reimbursement shall not be included in the Secondment
Fee or be considered a similar expense under this Agreement. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Anadarko Entities will be solely liable and responsible for (and
WES GP, the General Partner and the Partnership Entities shall have no liability
or responsibility for, whether as part of the Secondment Fee or Services Fee or
otherwise) any severance or separation or termination pay resulting from the
Merger or the transfers of employees contemplated herein. Nothing herein is
intended to result in the Anadarko Entities having any liability or
reimbursement obligation for any severance payments or benefits (I) under a
Severance Plan (including the Anadarko Change of Control Severance Plan and
Anadarko Voluntary Separation Plan) to any employee who, as of immediately prior
to the Management Employee Transfer or Seconded Employee Transfer, as
applicable, was not a participant in such Severance Plan, or (II) pursuant to
any severance or termination pay arrangement entered into, adopted or extended
(including an extension of benefits under a Severance Plan or individual
contract to a Seconded Employee or Management Transferred Employee who has
previously waived rights with respect thereto) by WES GP or any Partnership
Entity (or at the direction of the General Partner pursuant to Section 1.1 of
this Agreement) after the date of this Agreement unless the Partnership Entity
was required to enter into or adopt such severance or termination pay
arrangement pursuant to this Agreement.
For all purposes under this Agreement, severance, separation or termination pay
will not be considered to result from the Merger or a Seconded Employee Transfer
or Management Employee Transfer if it arises as a result of any action taken by
the Partnership Entities or WES GP (or at the direction of the General Partner
pursuant to Section 1.1 above) after the date of this Agreement.

Should a dispute arise between the Parties, the Parties shall promptly seek to
resolve any such dispute by negotiations between the Parties prior to the
initiation of binding arbitration in accordance with Section 8.22(b). The
Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within fifteen (15)
days after written notice by any Party to any other Party seeking resolution of
a dispute under this Section 8.22(a) and thereafter as often as they mutually
determine to be necessary or appropriate to exchange relevant information and to
attempt to resolve the dispute.

B.
All negotiations and communications pursuant to this Section 8.22(a) shall be
treated and maintained by the Parties as confidential information and shall be
treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the Federal
Rules of Evidence. In addition, any and all documents generated as a result of
the arbitration proceedings, including but not limited to hearing transcripts,
depositions, opinions, rulings awards, or judgments shall be treated as
confidential and may not be shared with any third party, absent an order from a
court of competent jurisdiction.

C.
Any proposed resolution of a dispute under this Agreement must be approved on
behalf of the Partnership by the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of
the General Partner

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

before it is finalized. If the matter is not resolved within 30 days after the
initial meeting of the Parties, or such longer period as may be mutually agreed
upon, either Party may initiate arbitration in accordance with Section 8.22(b).
D.
Any and all disputes arising from or relating to the Agreement, including the
inability of the Parties to agree to an adjustment to the Secondment Fee or
Services Fee pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 or 5.4, must be resolved
through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance
with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association,
as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal
questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If
there is any inconsistency between this Section and the Commercial Arbitration
Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 8.22 will
control the rights and obligations of the Parties.

E.
Arbitration must be initiated within the applicable time limits set forth in
this Agreement and not thereafter or if no time limit is given, within the time
period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations.

F.
Arbitration may be initiated by a party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on
another party (“Respondent”) that the Claimant elects to refer a particular
dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration
must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall
respond to Claimant within 30 days after receipt of Claimant’s notice,
identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent fails for
any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall
petition to the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an
arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select
a third arbitrator within 30 days after the second arbitrator has been
appointed. The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator
named by or for it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of
the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment
of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. The Claimant and
Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third
arbitrator.

G.
All arbitrators must (a) be neutral parties with no prior relationships to any
participants, parties, attorneys or law firms involved in the proceedings, (b)
have never been officers, directors or employees of any of the Partnership
Entities or Anadarko Entities and (c) have not less than seven years of
experience in the energy industry.

H.
The hearing will be conducted in Houston, Texas and commence within 30 days
after the selection of the third arbitrator. The Parties and the arbitrators
should proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made
as promptly as possible, and within 60 days of the close of evidence in any
proceeding.

I.
Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the
arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The
arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award indirect, consequential,
punitive or exemplary damages of any kind.

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.23
Continuation of Work during Dispute.

Notwithstanding any dispute, it shall be the responsibility of each Party to
continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement pending resolution of
the dispute.
8.24
Legal Compliance.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, and all services provided
under this Agreement, are intended to comply with any and all laws and legal
obligations and that this Agreement should be construed and interpreted with
this purpose in mind. In this regard, the Parties specifically agree as follows:
A.
The Parties will comply with all equal employment opportunity requirements and
other applicable employment laws. Where a joint or combined action is required
by the law in order to comply with an employment obligation, the parties will
cooperate fully and in good faith to comply with the applicable obligation.

B.
The General Partner acknowledges and agrees that Seconded Employees may utilize
the complaint reporting and resolution process of the Anadarko Entities and
agrees to cooperate in the investigation and resolution of any complaint that
may be made.

C.
The Parties agree that they will adhere to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938,
as amended, any comparable state law and any law regulating the payment of wages
or compensation. The General Partner is solely responsible for ensuring that
non-exempt Seconded Employees accurately record their hours and time worked.
