The Company will establish a DER bookkeeping account for you with respect to each SPU granted that shall be credited with an amount equal to the cash dividends made during the Performance Period with respect to the Phillips 66 and Spectra Energy common shares.  Unless otherwise defined herein, terms used, but not defined, in this Grant Agreement shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan.

To the extent the Strategic Performance goals are not achieved, the SPUs shall be forfeited automatically at the end of the Performance Period without payment.

	Contingent Vesting Events.  You may become contingently Vested prior to the end of the Performance Period as provided below, but unless the Strategic Performance goals for the Performance Period are achieved, you will not become entitled to a payment with respect to SPUs.
