 The Compensation Committee of the Board of EOG Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to
you, the above-named Grantee, effective as of the Date of Grant set forth above, a Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) in accordance with the terms set forth below. 

General. This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is governed by the terms and conditions of
the Amended and Restated EOG Resources, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), which is hereby made a part of this Agreement. All capitalized terms that are not defined in this
Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them under the Plan. Under the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, a Restricted Stock Unit ledger account will be maintained by the Company (or its agent) until you become vested in the Restricted Stock
Units. You will have no voting rights with respect to the Company common stock represented by such Restricted Stock Units until such time as the Company common stock is issued to you. 

Vesting. Assuming your continuous employment with the Company or an Affiliate, this Award shall vest on [Five-year
anniversary of grant date] and the shares of Company common stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall be distributed on the first business day following [Five-year anniversary of grant date] (or as soon as
administratively practicable thereafter, but no later than 60 days after such date). 
 Termination of Employment.
Except as provided below, if your employment with the Company or an Affiliate does not continue until [Five-year anniversary of grant date], this Award shall terminate and all Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall be forfeited and
canceled. 
 Due to Death. If your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates due to death
prior to [Five-year anniversary of grant date], all forfeiture restrictions on the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall lapse and all shares of Company common stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units shall be distributed to
your beneficiary as soon as administratively practicable following your date of death, but no later than 60 days after such date. 
 Due to Disability or Retirement After Age 62. If your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates due to Disability or due to Retirement after attaining age 62 with at least five years
of service with the Company prior to [Five-year anniversary of grant date], all forfeiture restrictions on the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall lapse and, subject to the six-month delay applicable to specified employees
described under “Section 409A” below, all shares of Company common stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall be distributed to you as soon as administratively practicable following your date of
termination or Retirement (as the case may be), but no later than 60 days after the date on which the distribution would be Permissible under Section 409A. 
 Due to Retirement Prior to Age 62. If your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates voluntarily prior to [Five-year anniversary of grant date] and your termination is
designated in writing by the Company as a Company-approved Retirement prior to age 62 with at least five years of service with the Company, subject to such restrictions as the Company may impose (including, but not limited to, a six-month
post-employment non-competition agreement), for each whole year that has passed since the Date of Grant set forth above, you shall be eligible to receive a distribution of 20% of the shares of Company common stock represented by the Restricted Stock
Units awarded hereunder, which stock will be distributed to you as soon as administratively practicable following the six-month anniversary of such Company-approved Retirement, but no later than 60 days after such anniversary; provided that
you do not violate the provisions of any restrictive covenants to which you are subject (including those set forth in any post-employment non-competition agreement between you and the Company), in which case, under the terms of this Agreement, all
Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited and canceled. 
 Due to Involuntary Termination for Other than
Performance Reasons. In the event of Involuntary Termination for any reason other than performance reasons prior to [Five-year anniversary of grant date], for each whole year that has passed since the Date of Grant set forth above, you
shall be eligible to receive a distribution of 20% of the shares 






 
of Company common stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder and, subject to the six-month delay applicable to specified employees described under “Section
409A” below, such stock will be distributed to you as soon as administratively practicable following the effective date of such Involuntary Termination, but no later than 60 days after the date on which the distribution would be Permissible
under Section 409A. 
 Due to Performance Reasons, Cause or Voluntary Termination. In the event of
Involuntary Termination for performance reasons, Termination for Cause, or voluntary termination prior to [Five-year anniversary of grant date], all Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall be forfeited and canceled. 

Vesting Upon a Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan) prior to [Five-year
anniversary of grant date], all forfeiture restrictions on the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall lapse effective as of the effective date of the Change in Control of the Company, and all shares of Company common stock represented by
the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall be distributed to you as soon as administratively practicable following the effective date of the Change in Control of the Company, but no later than 60 days after such date; provided, however, that
if the event constituting the Change in Control of the Company does not qualify as a change in effective ownership or control of the Company for purposes of Section 409A, then, pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Plan, such distribution shall
be delayed until the earliest time that such distribution would be Permissible under Section 409A. 
 Dividend
Equivalents. Pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan, (i) dividend equivalents on unvested Restricted Stock Units shall accrue and be credited by the Company for your benefit, and (ii) such dividend equivalents shall not be paid
to you until (and to the extent) you become vested in the related Restricted Stock Units and shall be forfeited in the event of (and to the extent of) the forfeiture and cancellation of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Agreement.

 Section 409A. The Plan and this Agreement are intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A, and
shall be administered such that any payment, settlement, or deferrals of amounts hereunder shall not be subject to any excise penalty tax that may be imposed thereunder. The Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine if you are a
“specified employee” of the Company (as that phrase is defined for purposes of Section 409A) on the date of your termination of employment or your Retirement prior to [five-year anniversary of grant date] and whether you are
subject to any six-month delay in distribution of amounts due to you under this Agreement.
