in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively. If for
any reason the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the LIBO Rate for any reason, including,

“S&P”, and (b) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different Levels, the Applicable Rating Level shall be based on the higher rating,

ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the
date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the Applicable Rating Level shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective
date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, Apache, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall
negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rating Level shall be determined by

 SECTION 2.2 Loans and Borrowings. 

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for
any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely
of ABR Loans in US Dollars or LIBOR Loans in any Currency as Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan;

(c) Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any

 22 

 SECTION 2.3 Requests for Borrowings. In (i) the event that LC Exposure (after giving pro
forma effect to the issuance of a requested Letter of Credit) exceeds (or would exceed) the aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments from Issuing Banks which (x) can issue a Letter of Credit compliant with the applicable Security Arrangement,
including those with a Bank Rating equal to or higher than the amount required by the applicable Security Arrangement for such Letter of Credit and (y) are not excused by the last sentence of Section 2.4(a) from issuing a Letter of Credit, or
(ii) connection with financing the repayment of a LC Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.4(e), Borrower shall have the right and option to request a Borrowing in a Currency by notifying the Administrative Agent of such request in
writing or by telephone (a) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., London time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City

City time. Any such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by Borrower. Each telephonic and written
Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2: 
 (i) the Currency of the
requested Borrowing; 
 (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 

(iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the
requested Borrowing shall be a LIBOR Borrowing in Pound Sterling. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBOR Borrowing, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration.
Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

 SECTION 2.4 Letters of Credit. 

(a) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of
Credit for its own account and Apache may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Subsidiary, in either a Pre-Approved LC 

  
 23 

 
Form or any other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period by submitting a Request
for Letter of Credit which shall be irrevocable, and (subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2), the applicable Issuing Bank will issue such Letters of Credit from an Applicable Issuing Office. Letters of Credit shall be
denominated in the applicable Requested Currency; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit not denominated in Pound Sterling is subject to adjustment of applicable amounts and thresholds pursuant to Section
2.19(b). Apache unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Subsidiary as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, it will be fully responsible for the
reimbursement of LC Disbursements, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under Section 2.11(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit. In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any agreement submitted to, or entered into with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
control. Issuing Bank’s records of the content of any Instruction shall be conclusive absent manifest error. An Issuing Bank may transmit a Letter of Credit and any amendment thereto by S.W.I.F.T. message and thereby bind Applicant directly and
as indemnitor to the S.W.I.F.T. rules, including rules obligating Applicant or Issuing Bank to pay charges. An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority
shall by its terms enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law, rule, regulation of, or treaty among, one or more Governmental Authorities applicable to such Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or not
having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or direct that such Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or
shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder. 

(b) Procedure for Requesting a Letter of Credit. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), a Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to an Issuing Bank with a notice copy
to the Administrative Agent (reasonably, but no less than four (4) Business Days, in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a Request for Letter of Credit requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or
identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
Section 2.4(c) below), the amount and Requested Currency of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of
Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit Apache shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure of such Issuing Bank shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the lesser of (A) aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments and (B) aggregate
Commitments, (iii) the total Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Commitments and (iv) following the effectiveness of any Maturity Date extension request, the LC Exposure in 

  
 24 

 
respect of all Letters of Credit having an expiration date after the previously effective Maturity Date shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments of the consenting Lenders extended pursuant to
Section 2.6; provided that an Issuing Bank shall not issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit (other than automatic renewals thereof pursuant to customary evergreen provisions or amendments that do not effect an extension, or
increase the stated face amount, of such Letter of Credit) if it shall have been notified by the Administrative Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that, as a
result, no further Letters of Credit shall be issued by it (a “Letter of Credit Suspension Notice”); provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall have received such Letter of Credit Suspension Notice no less than
four (4) Business Days prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit. Each determination as to whether a Letter of Credit constitutes a Financial Letter of Credit or a Performance Letter of Credit shall be made by the Administrative Agent and
the applicable Issuing Bank, acting reasonably and, once made, shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks. 

(c) Letter of Credit Tenor. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business not later than the earlier of
(i) the date one (1) year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof one (1) year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the then effective Maturity Date; provided that any
Letter of Credit may provide for the renewal thereof for additional periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above) upon notice by the applicable Borrower delivered to the Issuing Lender not less than ten
(10) days before the then effective expiration date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Letter of Credit issued hereunder may, in the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Bank, expire after the Maturity Date for one additional extension period
but on or before the date that is one year after the Maturity Date, provided that Borrower hereby agrees that it shall provide cash collateral in an amount equal to 102% of the LC Exposure plus 100% of the Letter of Credit Fees for the period
up to the extended expiration date in respect of any such outstanding Letter of Credit to the applicable Issuing Bank at least five (5) days prior to the Maturity Date, which such amount shall be (i) deposited by Borrower in an account in the
name of Borrower at, and for the benefit of, such Issuing Bank and (ii) held by such Issuing Bank for, and until, the satisfaction of Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit until the expiration of such Letter
of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the deposit or through the investment of such deposits, which investments, if
any, shall be made by the Issuing Bank, at its option and reasonable discretion, in consultation with Borrower, and at Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall
accumulate in such account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Letter of Credit issued with an expiration date beyond the Maturity Date shall, to the extent of any undrawn amount remaining thereunder on the Maturity Date,
cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding under this Agreement for purposes of the Lenders’ obligations to participate in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(d). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Maturity Date shall
be extended pursuant to Section 2.6, “Maturity Date” as referenced in this sentence shall refer to the Maturity Date as extended pursuant to Section 2.6; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
(including Section 2.6 hereof) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Maturity Date and the Availability Period, as such terms are used in reference to any Issuing Bank or any Letter of Credit issued thereby, may not be extended with
respect to any Issuing 

  
 25 

 
Bank without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), such
amount including any accumulated interest or profit (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of all Letters of Credit secured by such amounts and the repayment of any
LC Disbursements made in respect thereof, and, to the extent applicable, any lien related to the cash collateral shall be released by the Issuing Bank. 

(d) Issuance of Letters of Credit. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount
thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit
equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, the equivalent amount of either the same Currency as such LC Disbursement or, if the currency of such LC Disbursement is not a Currency, in Pound Sterling, equal to such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrower on the applicable date due as provided in Section 2.4(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrower
for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit (provided that such Letter of Credit shall expire no later than the date set forth in Section 2.4(c)), or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e) Repayment of Drawings. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall
reimburse or cause reimbursement of such LC Disbursement by paying or causing to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in the same currency as such LC Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., London time, on the
fourth Business Day immediately following the date on which Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with
Section 2.3 that such payment be financed with a Borrowing in the equivalent amount of such LC Disbursement in the Currency elected by Borrower and, to the extent so financed, Borrower’s obligation to make such payment or cause it to be
made shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing. To the extent such payment is so financed or Borrower fails to make such payment or cause it to be made when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable
LC Disbursement, the payment then due from Borrower in a Currency in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable
Percentage of the payment then due from Borrower in the specified Currency, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.5 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.5 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from Borrower or
any Subsidiary pursuant to this 

  
 26 

 
paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such
Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as
contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f)
Obligations; Limitation on Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.4(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein,
(ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the honoring of a presentation under any Letter of Credit which on its face substantially complies with the terms of such
Letter of Credit, (v) the honoring of a presentation of any Drawing Documents which appear on their face to have been signed, presented or issued (X) by any purported successor or transferee of any beneficiary or other party required to sign,
present or issue the Drawing Documents or (Y) under a new name of the beneficiary, (vi) acceptance as a draft of any written or electronic demand or request for payment under a Letter of Credit, even if nonnegotiable or not in the form of a draft,
and may disregard any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit, (vii) the identity or authority of any presenter or signer of any Drawing Document or the form, accuracy, genuineness, or
legal effect of any presentation under any Letter of Credit or of any Drawing Documents, (viii) the disregarding of any non-documentary conditions stated in any Letter of Credit, (ix) acting upon any Instruction which it, in Good Faith, believes to
have been given by a Person authorized to give such instruction, (x) any delay in giving or failing to give any notice, (xi) any acts, omissions or fraud by, or the solvency of, any beneficiary, (xii) any breach of contract between the
beneficiary and Applicant or any of the parties to the underlying transaction, (xiii) any assertion or waiver of any provision of the UCP 600 or ISP 98 which primarily benefits an issuer of a letter of credit, including, any requirement that any
Drawing Document be presented to it at a particular hour or place, (xiv) any payment to any paying or negotiating bank (designated or permitted by the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored or is entitled to
reimbursement or indemnity under the Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to it, (xv) any acting or failing to act as required or expressly permitted under Standard Letter of Credit Practice (or in the case of other independent undertakings
or guarantees, the UN Convention) applicable to where it has issued, confirmed, advised or negotiated such Credit, as the case may be, or (xvi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that
might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, Borrower’s obligations hereunder. To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any of the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or
failure to make any payment thereunder 

  
 27 

 
(irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other
communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable
Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4(f) shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether
drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect
to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. If,
at the applicable Issuing Bank’s and Administrative Agent’s discretion, a Letter of Credit is to be governed by a law other than (i) that of the State of New York or (ii) the law specified in a Pre-Approved LC Form, Issuing Bank shall not
be liable for any costs, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Issuing Bank resulting from any act or omission by Issuing Bank in accordance with
the UCP or the ISP, as applicable, and Applicant shall indemnify Bank for all such costs, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, subject to Section 10.3(d). 

(g) LC Disbursements. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting
to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower by telephone or email (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such
Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any
such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless Borrower shall reimburse
such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that Borrower reimburses such LC
Disbursement, for LC Disbursements not denominated in US Dollars, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Applicable LIBO Rate for overnight funds plus the LIBOR Margin and, for LC Disbursements denominated in US Dollars, at the rate of
interest per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement by the date that is three (3) Business Days following the date such reimbursement is due pursuant to Section 2.4(e),
then Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section
2.4(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 

  
 28 

 (i) Cash Collateralization in Event of Default. If any Event of Default described in
Section 8.1(a) shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, Borrower shall deposit
in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash in the same currency as each issued Letter of Credit equal to aggregate LC
Exposure plus any accrued and unpaid Facility Fees through the occurrence date of such Event of Default which are not yet due and payable plus estimated Letter of Credit Fees for the period up to the current maturity (without any renewal) for any
outstanding Letter of Credit; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the (i)
occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Borrower described in Section 8.1(g) or (ii) acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and termination of the Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments pursuant to Section
8.3. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement in accordance with this paragraph. The Administrative Agent shall have
exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the
Administrative Agent and at Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of Borrower for the LC Exposure
at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount including any accumulated interest or profit (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within five (5) Business Days after the earlier of (i) all Events of Default have been
cured or waived or (ii) expiration of all Letters of Credit secured by such amounts and the repayment of any LC Disbursements made in respect thereof, and, to the extent applicable, any lien related to the cash collateral shall be released by
the Administrative Agent. 
 (j) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. Apache may, at any time and from time to time, upon notice
to the Administrative Agent, designate as Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve, in such Lender’s sole discretion, in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder
shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, executed by Apache, the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, including a sublimit for the aggregate amount of Letters of
Credit it is willing to issue (which amount will be the Letter of Credit Commitment of such Issuing Bank), and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under
this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder. Notwithstanding 

  
 29 

 
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank under this Agreement at any time that such Issuing Bank has no Letters of Credit issued and outstanding
under this Agreement; provided that (i) any resignation by such Issuing Bank as such shall be subject to Apache’s prior written acknowledgement and acceptance, and (ii) any assignment by a Lender that is an Issuing Bank of its Letter of
Credit Commitment shall be subject to Apache’s prior written consent, which acknowledgement and acceptance or consent, as applicable, may be withheld by Apache in its sole and absolute discretion unless and until one or more Issuing Banks or
additional Issuing Banks with the same or higher Bank Rating and which are eligible and able to issue Letters of Credit that comply in all respects with the requirements of the Security Arrangements assume and become obligated for the Letter of
Credit Commitment of the resigning or assigning Issuing Bank, and in such event, Apache shall not unreasonably withhold its acknowledgment and acceptance or consent, as applicable; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if
there is a Change of Law which prohibits an Issuing Bank from acting as an Issuing Bank under this Agreement, then such Issuing Bank shall be permitted to resign as an Issuing Bank at any time thereafter that such Issuing Bank has no Letters of
Credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement. 
 (k) Termination of Issuing Banks. Apache may terminate the appointment
of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank
acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until
and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero. At the time any such termination shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid Letter of Credit
Fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under
this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit. Without limiting the foregoing, following the delivery by Apache of any notice of termination in respect
of any Issuing Bank (and regardless of whether such notice has become effective), such Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit. 

(l) Issuing Bank Reporting. Each Issuing Bank acknowledges and agrees that it will provide a report (“Issuing Bank LC
Report”) to Agent on the second (2nd) Business Day following (i) the date of issuance, amendment, or cancellation of any Letter of Credit, which report shall be deemed effective as of the date of such issuance, amendment, or cancellation
(the “Change Report Effective Date”) and (ii) the end of each calendar month, which report shall be deemed effective as of the last day of such calendar month (the “Status Report Effective Date”). Each Issuing Bank
LC Report shall provide as of the effective date of such report (i) the face amount, the amount of any drawings, the undrawn amount and any other relevant information for all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, (ii) the LC Exposure of
such Issuing Bank, calculated on a daily basis for each day since the most recently delivered Issuing Bank LC Report, with the amounts set forth in Pound Sterling (converting Letters of Credit in a non-GBP currency into Pound Sterling on the basis
of the rate of exchange prevailing at the close of business on the date of the Change Report Effective Date or Status Report Effective Date, as applicable, and (iii) any additional information reasonably requested by Agent. 

  
 30 

 (m) Electronic Transmissions. Each Issuing Bank is authorized to accept and process any
Request for Letter of Credit and any amendments, transfers, assignments of proceeds, Instructions, consents, waivers and all documents relating to the Letter of Credit or the Request for Letter of Credit which are sent to such Issuing Bank by
electronic transmission, including S.W.I.F.T., electronic mail, facsimile, courier, mail or other computer generated telecommunications and such electronic communication shall have the same legal effect as if written and shall be binding upon and
enforceable against Applicant. Each Issuing Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, require authentication of such electronic transmission or that such Issuing Bank receives original documents prior to acting on such electronic
transmission. If it is a condition of the Letter of Credit that payment may be made upon receipt by an Issuing Bank of an electronic transmission advising negotiation, Applicant hereby agrees to reimburse applicable Issuing Bank on demand for
the amount indicated in such electronic transmission advice, and further agrees to hold such Issuing Bank harmless if the documents fail to arrive, or if, upon the arrival of the documents, such Issuing Bank should determine that the documents do
not comply with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. 
 (n) Standby Letters of Credit. 

(i) Installments. If a Letter of Credit is issued subject to UCP 600, unless otherwise agreed, in the event that any
installment of the Letter of Credit is not drawn within the period allowed for that installment, the Letter of Credit may continue to be available for any subsequent installments in the sole discretion of Issuing Bank, notwithstanding Article 32 of
UCP 600. 
 (ii) Auto Extend Notice. If a Letter of Credit provides for automatic extension without amendment,
Applicant agrees that it will notify the applicable Issuing Bank in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the last day specified in such Letter of Credit by which such Issuing Bank must give notice that Letter Credit is not to be
extended. Unless the Borrower so specifies that such Letter of Credit is not to be extended or an Event of Default then exists and is continuing, the Issuing Bank shall, subject to Section 2.4(c), extend such Letter of
Credit. Applicant hereby acknowledges and agrees that if (i) Borrower so specifies that such Letter of Credit is not to be extended or an Event of Default then exists and is continuing and (ii) such Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary of such
Letter of Credit that it will not be extended and the beneficiary thereafter draws on such Letter of Credit, then Applicant shall have no claim or cause of action against such Issuing Bank or defense against payment under this Agreement for such
non-extension. 
 (iii) Pending Expiry Notice. If a Letter of Credit’s terms and conditions provide that the
applicable Issuing Bank give beneficiary a notice of pending expiration, Applicant agrees that it will notify such Issuing Bank in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the last day specified in such Letter of Credit by which such Issuing
Bank must give such notice of the pending expiration date. In the event Applicant fails to so notify the applicable Issuing Bank and such Letter of Credit is extended, Applicant’s Obligations under this Agreement, including this Section
2.4, shall continue in effect and be binding on Applicant with regard to the Letter of Credit as so extended. 

  
 31 

 SECTION 2.5 Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds
by 2:00 p.m., London time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so
received, in like funds, to an account of Borrower designated by Borrower from time to time in a written notice to the Administrative Agent executed by (i) two Authorized Officers of Apache, and (ii) with respect to a Loan to an Additional
Borrower, two Authorized Officers of such Additional Borrower; provided that Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.4(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable
Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing
that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on the requested date in accordance with paragraph
(a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation or (ii) in the case of Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans made in such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.6 Extension of Maturity Date and of Commitments. 

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the total
Commitments shall be effective for an initial period from the Effective Date to the Original Maturity Date; provided that the applicable Maturity Date, and concomitantly the total Commitments, may be extended (but not more than once during the life
of this Agreement) for one successive period expiring on the date which is one (1) year from the then scheduled Maturity Date. If Apache shall request in a Certificate of Extension delivered to the Administrative Agent at least 180 days prior to the
third anniversary of the Effective Date that the Maturity Date be extended for one (1) year from the then scheduled Maturity Date, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request and each Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent, no later than 30 days after such Lender’s receipt of such notice, whether such Lender, in the exercise of its sole discretion, will extend the Maturity Date for such one (1) year period. Any Lender which shall not timely
notify the Administrative Agent whether it will extend the Maturity Date shall be deemed to not have agreed to extend the Maturity Date. No Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to extend the Maturity Date. Any agreement to extend the
Maturity Date by any Lender shall be irrevocable, except as provided in Section 2.6(c). 

  
 32 

 (b) If all Lenders notify the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.6(a) of their
agreement to extend the Maturity Date, then the Administrative Agent shall so notify each Lender and Borrower, and such extension shall be effective without other or further action by any party hereto for such additional one (1) year period. 

(c) If Lenders constituting at least the Required Lenders approve the extension of the then scheduled Maturity Date (such Lenders agreeing to
extend the Maturity Date herein called the “Accepting Lenders”) and if one or more Lenders shall notify, or be deemed to notify, the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.6(a) that they will not extend the then scheduled
Maturity Date (such Lenders herein called the “Declining Lenders”), then (A) the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify Borrower and the Accepting Lenders, (B) the Accepting Lenders shall, upon Borrower’s election to
extend the then scheduled Maturity Date in accordance with clause (i) below, extend the then scheduled Maturity Date and (C) Borrower shall, pursuant to a notice delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Accepting Lenders and the Declining Lenders,
no later than the tenth (10th) day following the date by which each Lender is required, pursuant to Section 2.6(a), to approve or disapprove the requested extension of the total
Commitments, either: 
 (i) elect to extend the Maturity Date and, prior to or no later than the then scheduled Maturity
Date, (A) to replace one or more of the Declining Lenders with another lender or lenders reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such lenders herein called the “Replacement Lenders”) and (B) Borrower shall pay in full in
immediately available funds all Obligations of Borrower owing to any Declining Lenders which are not being replaced, as provided in clause (i) above; provided that (x) any Replacement Lender shall purchase, and any Declining Lender shall sell, such
Declining Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder without recourse or expense to, or warranty by, such Declining Lender being replaced for a purchase price equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Obligations payable to such
Declining Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Obligations and accrued but unpaid fees or other amounts owing in respect of such Declining Lender’s Loans and Commitments hereunder, including compensation for any break funding, to
the extent required by Section 2.15, and (y) upon the payment of such amounts referred to in clause (x) and the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance by such Replacement Lender and such Declining Lender, such Replacement Lender shall
constitute a Lender hereunder and such Declining Lender being so replaced shall no longer constitute a Lender (other than for purposes of Section 2.14 through Section 2.17, Section 2.19 and Section 10.3), and shall no
longer have any obligations hereunder, other than to the Agents pursuant to Article IX; or 
 (ii) elect to revoke and
cancel the extension request in such Certificate of Extension by giving notice of such revocation and cancellation to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof) no later than the tenth (10th) day following the date by which each Lender is required, pursuant to Section 2.6(a), to approve or disapprove the requested extension of the Maturity Date, and concomitantly the total
Commitments. 

  
 33 

 If Borrower fails to timely provide the election notice referred to in this Section 2.6(c), Borrower shall
be deemed to have revoked and cancelled the extension request in the Certificate of Extension and to have elected not to extend the Maturity Date. 

(d) Irrespective of the Maturity Date applicable to each Lender, all Lenders will be treated identically prior to the Maturity Date applicable
to a particular Lender. 
 SECTION 2.7 Interest Elections. 

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request (or an ABR Borrowing if no Type is specified)
and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request (or one (1) month if no Interest Period is specified). Thereafter, Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different
Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. Borrower may, subject to the requirements of Section 2.2(c), elect different options with
respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowings of one Type may not be converted to a Borrowing of a different Type; provided that Borrower may elect to convert ABR Borrowings to LIBOR Borrowings. 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time
that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election
Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by Borrower. 

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2: 

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to
different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

  
 34 

 If any such Interest Election Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an
Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) If Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a LIBOR Borrowing in the same currency with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, no outstanding Borrowing
may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month. 
 SECTION 2.8 Termination and
Reduction of Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments. 
 (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments and Letter of Credit
Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Apache may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments;
provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of GBP1,000,000 and not less than GBP5,000,000 and (ii) Apache shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any
concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 

(c) Apache shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.11(c) at least
two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each notice delivered by Apache pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by Apache may state that such notice is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Apache (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of
the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

SECTION 2.9 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Loan in the same Currency as such Loan was made on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, the date on which the Commitment of such Lender relating to such Loan is terminated (except for termination of the Commitment of the assigning Lender
pursuant to Section 10.4(b)). 

  
 35 

 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and
the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder
for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to
paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) Any
Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by one or more promissory notes. In such event, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender promissory notes payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender,
to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section
10.4) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if any such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 

SECTION 2.10 Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in
accordance with Section 2.10(b). 
 (b) If the sum of the total Credit Exposure exceeds the total Commitments at any time, Borrower
shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, any Loans outstanding in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess which payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each Lender within ten (10) days of Borrower
receiving notice from Administrative Agent that such payment is due; provided that, if after prepaying all of such Loans the total Credit Exposure continues to exceed the total Commitments, Borrower shall deposit cash collateral with the
Administrative Agent in the amount of such excess and in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(i) except such deposit will be made within five (5) days after Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that Borrower is
required to make such deposit. 
 (c) Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment
hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a LIBOR Borrowing, not 

  
 36 

 
later than 1:00 p.m., London time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection
with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.8, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.8. Promptly following
receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.2. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent
required by Section 2.12 and compensation for break funding, to the extent required by Section 2.15. 
 SECTION 2.11
Fees. 
 (a) Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on a pro rata basis (based on
Commitments) a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”), which Facility Fee shall accrue at the Facility Fee Rate on the daily amount of the Commitments (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date to
but excluding the Maturity Date; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Credit Exposure
from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Credit Exposure. Accrued Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on the third (3rd) Business Day of, April, July,
October and January of each year, as applicable, and on the Maturity Date, commencing on the first (1st) such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that any Facility Fees
accruing as of the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first (1st) day but excluding the last day) and shall be payable in Pound Sterling. 

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commission with respect to all outstanding
Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Margin then in effect on the face amount of each such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on
which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to any Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the
Borrower and such Issuing Bank on its average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the
date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of
drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on 

  
 37 

 
the third (3rd) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first (1st) such
date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any
other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first (1st) day but excluding the last day). All Letter of Credit Fees shall be payable in either the same Currency as such Letter of Credit or, if the
currency of such Letter of Credit is not a Currency, in Pound Sterling. 
 (c) Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its
own account, fees payable in the amounts, in the agreed Currency and at the times separately agreed upon between Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to any Issuing
Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Facility Fees and commissions pursuant to Section 2.11(c), to the Lenders. Any and all fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 2.12 Interest. 

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest on the daily amount outstanding at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Base Rate
Margin. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest on the daily amount outstanding at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for
the Interest Period and currency in effect for such Borrowing plus the LIBOR Margin. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal
of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a
rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, (ii) in the case of any other amount not denominated in US Dollars,
at a rate of interest per annum equal to 2% plus the Applicable LIBO Rate for overnight funds plus the LIBOR Margin as provided in Section 2.12(b), or (iii) in the case of any other amount denominated in US Dollars, at a rate of interest per
annum equal to 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in Section 2.12(a). 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Loans on the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any
repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current
Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion, and (iv) with respect to any Declining Lender, accrued interest shall be paid upon the termination of the Commitment of such
Lender. 

  
 38 

 (e) Subject to Section 10.12, all interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate or for Pound Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a
leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first (1st) day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted
LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing: 

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative
Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
or 
 (c) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that by reason
of circumstances affecting the interbank Currency markets generally, deposits in Pound Sterling in the London interbank market are not being offered for the applicable Interest Period and in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan requested
by Borrower; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation
of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be made as a LIBOR Loan having the shortest Interest Period which is not unavailable under Section 2.13(a) through Section 2.13(c), and if no Interest Period is available, as an ABR
Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBOR Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a LIBOR Loan having the shortest Interest Period which is not unavailable under Section 2.13(a) through Section 2.13(c),
and if no Interest Period is available, as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. 

SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs. 

(a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or 

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or
LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

  
 39 

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any
LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank
reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or
such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which
such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A
certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (together with
the calculation thereof) shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days
after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 40 

 SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal
of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the
failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the
assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each Lender
for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then
current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for
such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Currency deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the LIBOR market. A certificate of any Lender setting
forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive, together with the calculation thereof, pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and to the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

SECTION 2.16 Taxes. 
 (a)
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct or
withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) Borrower shall make such deduction or withholding, (ii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) if
such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b) In addition, Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or 

  
 41 

 
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than any such penalties or interest
arising through the failure of the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank to act as a reasonably prudent agent or lender, respectively), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank,
shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental
Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such
payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

 (i) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on
which it becomes a party to this Agreement two (2) duly completed and executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax. 

(ii) Each Foreign Lender agrees that such Lender will deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a
Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two (2) duly completed and executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, W-8 ECI and/or W 8 IMY (together with any applicable
underlying Internal Revenue Service withholding certificates that may be required) certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments from Borrower under the Loan Documents without deduction or withholding of any United States
federal income taxes. Such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related
participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each Lender which so delivers a Form W-8 BEN, W-8 ECI or W-8 IMY further undertakes to deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent
two (2) additional executed originals of such form (or a successor form) on or before such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it and such amendments
thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in each case, certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments from Borrower under the Loan Documents without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless (A) an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and (B) such Lender advises Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not

  
 42 

 
capable of receiving such payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax. Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

(iii) In addition to the applicable United States Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 2.16(e)(ii), each Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code shall deliver a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of
the Code. 
 (iv) If a payment made to a Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank under any Loan Document would
be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or
the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be
necessary for Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank has complied with the obligations of such Lender, the Administrative Agent
or Issuing Bank under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(e)(iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement. 
 (f) Additional United Kingdom Withholding Tax Matters. 

(i) Subject to Section 2.16(f)(ii) below, each Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a payment to such Lender shall
cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom. 

  
 43 

 (ii) (A) A Lender on the Effective Date that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty
Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and 

(B) A Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the day on which this Agreement closes that (x) holds a passport under
the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and 

(C) Upon satisfying either clause (A) or (B) above, such Lender shall have satisfied its obligation under Section
2.16(f)(i) above. 
 (iii) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in
accordance with Section 2.16(f)(ii) above, the UK Borrower(s) shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender, and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing; provided that, if: 

(A) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender; or

 (B) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but:

  

	 	(1)	such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or 

  

	 	(2)	HM Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for tax within 60 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing; 

and in each case, such UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of either (1) or (2) above, then such Lender and such UK Borrower shall
co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom. 

(iv) If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section
2.16(f)(ii) above, no UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise
agrees. 
 (v) Each UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such Borrower DTTP Filing
to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender. 
 (vi) Each Lender shall notify the Borrower and
Administrative Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that it is ceases to be entitled to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party with respect to payments made by any UK Borrower hereunder. 

  
 44 

 SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees,
or of amounts payable under Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., London time, and, with respect to reimbursement of LC Disbursements, prior to 3:00 p.m., London time, in each case, on the date when due,
in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, c/o J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, 25 Bank Street, Canary Wharf, London E14 5JP, United Kingdom, Attention: London
Agency Team, telephone no.: +44 207 134 8188, facsimile no.: +44 207 777 2360, pursuant to the following instructions: 
 (i)
for payments consisting of Pound Sterling and/or any other currency which is not a Currency: J.P. MORGAN EUROPE LIMITED (CHASGB22) , SORT CODE: 40-52-06; Account Number : IBAN: GB82CHAS60924203043504, 

(ii) for payments consisting of US Dollars: JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NEW YORK (CHASUS33), ABA routing 021 000 021, Account Name:
J.P. MORGAN EUROPE LIMITED (CHASGB22), Account number: 544714108, and 
 (iii) for payments consisting of Canadian Dollars:
Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto (ROYCCAT2), Account name: J.P. Morgan Europe Limited (CHASGB22) , Account Number : 2194421, 
 except payments to be made
directly to any Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute
any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all payments hereunder shall be
made in Pound Sterling. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with
the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. If insufficient funds are received due to Borrower’s entitlement to withhold amounts on account of Excluded Taxes in relation to a particular Lender, such insufficiency shall not be
subject to this Section 2.17(b) but shall be withheld from and shall only affect payments made to such Lender. 

  
 45 

 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in the LC
Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the
provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding
the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent
may, in its discretion, notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any
such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. 

  
 46 

 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Defaulting
Lender shall have failed to fund a Loan forming any portion of a Borrowing (each such Loan, an “Affected Loan”), (i) each payment by Borrower on account of the interest on such Borrowing shall be distributed to each Lender that is
not a Defaulting Lender (each, a “Non-Defaulting Lender”) pro rata based on the outstanding principal amount of such Borrowing owing to all Non-Defaulting Lenders, and (ii) each prepayment of a Borrowing by Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.10 shall be distributed (x) to each Non-Defaulting Lender pro rata based on the outstanding principal amount of such Borrowing owing to all Non-Defaulting Lenders, until the principal amount of such Borrowing (other than the
Affected Loans) has been repaid in full and (y) to the extent of any remaining amount of such prepayment relating to such Borrowing, to each Lender which has amounts outstanding with respect to such Borrowing pro rata in accordance with such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage. 
 SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as
the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14,
or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if any Issuing
Bank defaults in its obligation to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder, then Borrower may upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse or expense to, or warranty by, such Lender (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee designated by Borrower which
meets the requirements of Section 10.4(b) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent (and if participations in Letters of Credit are being assigned, the applicable Issuing Banks), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) the assignee and assignor shall have entered into an Assignment and Acceptance, and (iv) in the case of any 

  
 47 

 
such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in
such compensation or payments. 
 SECTION 2.19 Currency Conversion/Valuation and Currency Indemnity. 

(a) Payments in Agreed Currency. Borrower shall make payment relative to any Obligation in the same currency in which the Obligation
was effected (the “Agreed Currency”). If any payment is received on account of any Obligation in any currency (the “Other Currency”) other than the Agreed Currency (whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order or
judgment or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of Borrower or otherwise howsoever), such payment shall constitute a discharge of the liability of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in
respect of such obligation only to the extent of the amount of the Agreed Currency which the relevant Lender or Agent, as the case may be, is able to purchase with the amount of the Other Currency received by it on the Business Day immediately
preceding such receipt in accordance with its normal procedures and after deducting any premium and costs of exchange. 
 (b)
Conversion/Valuation into Agreed Currency. If for any purpose it becomes necessary to convert or value an amount in a particular currency (the “Non-Agreed Currency”) into, or in an amount of, an Agreed Currency or Pounds
Sterling, then the conversion or valuation shall be made on the basis of the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of determination and in any event Borrower shall be obligated to pay the Agents, the Issuing
Banks and the Lenders any deficiency in accordance with Section 2.19(c). For the foregoing purposes “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the relevant Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent, as applicable, in accordance with its normal
banking procedures is able on the relevant date to purchase (i) the Agreed Currency with either the Non-Agreed Currency or Pounds Sterling, as applicable, or (ii) Pounds Sterling with either the Non-Agreed Currency or the Agreed Currency, as
applicable, and in the case of (i) and (ii), after deducting any premium and costs of exchange. 
 (c) Circumstances Giving Rise to
Indemnity. If (i) any Lender, Issuing Bank or any Agent receives any payment or payments on account of any obligation or liability of Borrower hereunder in any Other Currency, and (ii) the amount of the Agreed Currency which the relevant
Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent, as applicable, is able to purchase on the Business Day next following such receipt with the proceeds of such payment or payments in accordance with its normal procedures and after deducting any premiums and costs of
exchange is less than the amount of the Agreed Currency due in respect of such obligation or liability, then Borrower on demand shall, and Borrower hereby agrees to, indemnify and save the Lenders, Issuing Banks and the Agents harmless from and
against any loss, cost or expense arising out of or in connection with such deficiency. 
 (d) Indemnity Separate
Obligation. The agreement of indemnity provided for in Section 2.19(c) shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from all other obligations contained in this Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent
cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Agents or any of them from time to time, and shall continue in full force and effect under any and all circumstances. 

  
 48 

 SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a) Fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11. 

(b) The Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included (in either the calculation of aggregate Commitments,
outstanding Obligations or otherwise) in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.2); provided,
that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender as a Lender affected thereby pursuant to Section 10.2(b). 

(c) If any LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

(i) all or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages (for the purposes of such reallocation the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be disregarded in determining the Non-Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage) but only to the extent (x) the sum of all
Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Credit Exposure plus its
reallocated share of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment; 

(ii) if the LC Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.20, then the fees
payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and 

(iii) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not reallocated pursuant to Section 2.20(c), then, without
prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment
that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and Letter of Credit Fees with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is reallocated. 

(d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless
it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a
manner consistent with Section 2.4(d) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein). 

  
 49 

 (e) Borrower may elect to replace any Defaulting Lender in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.18(b). In the event that the Administrative Agent, Borrower and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Credit Exposure of
the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date, if necessary as a result of a Loan funding pursuant to Section 2.4(h), such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other
Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

SECTION 2.21 Additional Borrowers. 

(a) A Person which is a Subsidiary which is organized under the laws of, a resident of, or domiciled in, any of the United States, Canada,
England and Wales or the United Kingdom or the Cayman Islands may become an Additional Borrower with respect hereto, and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits and obligations of this Agreement as a Borrower hereunder to the same extent as
any other Additional Borrower, upon the fulfillment of the following conditions: 
 (i) Resolutions and Officers’

Borrower shall be responsible to pay to each Lender any breakage fees or costs in connection with the reallocation of any outstanding Loans. 

(d) Each Commitment Increase shall become effective on its Commitment Increase Effective Date and upon such effectiveness (i) the

duly incorporated or otherwise properly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority, permits and approvals, and is in good standing to conduct
its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted where the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.

order binding on or affecting Borrower or any Subsidiary; or (c) result in, or require the creation or imposition of, any Lien, not permitted by Section 7.1, on any of Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s properties. Each Loan Document
executed by Borrower will, on the due execution and delivery thereof, constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective terms subject as to enforcement only to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor rights generally and to general principles of equity. 

SECTION 3.3 Government Approval and Regulation. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
governmental authority or regulatory body or other Person is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by Borrower of any Loan Document to which it is a party. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment
company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 SECTION 3.4 Pension and Welfare Plans. During
the twelve-consecutive-month period prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the date of any Borrowing hereunder, no steps have been taken to terminate any Pension Plan, and no contribution failure has occurred
with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a lien under Section 302(f) of ERISA. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan which would result in the incurrence by Borrower or any
member of the Controlled Group of any liability, fine or penalty in excess of $150,000,000. Neither Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement benefit under a Welfare Plan,
other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I of ERISA. 

  
 53 

 SECTION 3.5 Regulation U. Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for
the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, and no proceeds of any Loan or LC Disbursement will be used for a purpose which violates, or would be inconsistent with, Regulation U. Terms for which meanings are provided in Regulations U

Borrower after due investigation filed all tax returns and reports required by law to have been filed by it and has paid all taxes and governmental charges thereby shown to be owing, except any such taxes or charges which are being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books or which the failure to file or pay could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 3.7 Subsidiaries; Restricted Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.7 hereto contains an accurate list of all of the presently existing
Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, Restricted Subsidiaries, as of the date of this Agreement, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization and the percentage of their respective capital stock or, the
revenue share attributable to the general and limited partnership interests, as the case may be, owned by Apache or its Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of such Subsidiaries which are corporations have

Sanctions. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions in all material respects. None of (i) Borrower or any Subsidiary, (ii) any director or officer of Borrower or any
Subsidiary, or (iii) to the knowledge of Borrower, any employee or agent of Borrower or any Subsidiary (in each case, acting in their capacity as such), is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing, issuance of letters of credit, use of proceeds or
other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate any Anti-Corruption Law or applicable Sanctions.

	 	(b)	Breach of Warranty. Any representation or warranty of Borrower made or deemed to be made hereunder or in any other Loan Document or any other writing or certificate furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to
the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender for the purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any such other Loan Document is or shall be false or misleading when made in any material respect.

Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall be entitled to exercise any and all other remedies available to them under the Loan Documents and applicable law. 

ARTICLE IX 
 Agents 

Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan as Administrative Agent, HSBC Bank USA, National
Association, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, New York Branch, and Bank of Montreal, as Co-Syndication Agents, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, and Société Générale, as
Co-Documentation Agents and authorizes each such Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

 Any bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank, as
applicable, as any other Lender or Issuing Bank, as 

  
 64 

 
applicable, and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with
Apache or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 
 The Agents shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agents shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (the
use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law; rather,
such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties), (b) each Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, each Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
Apache or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Each Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent
shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Borrower, an Issuing Bank or a Lender, and such Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of
the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set
forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. None of the Persons identified on the facing page of this Agreement as the “Co-Lead Arrangers and Joint
Bookrunners” (the “Arrangers”), the Co-Documentation Agents or the Co-Syndication Agents shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document other than,
except in the case of the Arrangers, those applicable to all Lenders or Issuing Banks, as applicable, as such. 
 The Administrative Agent
and the other Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent and the other Agents also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent and the other Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

  
 65 

 Any Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through
any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Any Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as an Agent. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other
code defects, is made by any Agent Party to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent
Parties”) have any liability to any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Affiliates for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort,
contract or otherwise) arising out of the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. 
 Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and Borrower. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is
a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent. Upon any such
resignation or removal, Apache shall have the right, in consultation with the Required Lenders, to appoint one of the Lenders as a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by Apache and shall have accepted such appointment within 30
days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office
in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any
related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 68 

 SECTION 10.2 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective except in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making
of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and the Required Lenders or by Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any
Lender or the Commitments without the written consent of such Lender or each Lender, respectively, or increase the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank without the written consent of such Issuing Bank, (ii) reduce the principal amount of
any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan
or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby, (iv) change Sections 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release any Guaranty, without the written consent of
each Lender, or (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof or thereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or
modify any rights hereunder or thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights
or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder or the Issuing Banks hereunder or under Section 2.4, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Banks, as the case may be; provided
further, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may only be amended by the Issuing Bank which issued such Letter of Credit; provided further that in the event that any Additional Borrower elects to terminate its status as an Additional
Borrower under this Agreement and delivers a properly executed Borrower Termination Notice pursuant to Section 2.21(c), such termination and release of such Additional Borrower from its Obligations under this Agreement
shall require only the consent of the Administrative Agent. 

  
 69 

 SECTION 10.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Arrangers and the Agents, including the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or
waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for the Agents or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder and
documentary Taxes, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans, Letters of Credit or this Agreement. 

(b) Borrower shall indemnify the Agents, the Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), WHETHER OR NOT RELATED TO ANY NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE, against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, including, without
limitation, pursuant to Section 2.19, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents
presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or whereby such refusal to honor is due to a restriction imposed by any law or regulation of a Governmental Authority or an injunction or other
order issued by a court, in each case having jurisdiction over Issuing Bank in force at time and place of presentment, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether brought by a third party or by Borrower and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (ii) arise in connection with any issue in litigation commenced by Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries against any Indemnitee for which a final judgment is entered in favor of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against such Indemnitee. 

(c) To the extent that Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each 

  
 70 

 
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) Borrower shall not
assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, and (ii) Agents and Lenders shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against Borrower, in each case on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any Loan Document), the Transactions or any
Loan or any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof, except for any such claim arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or Borrower, as applicable; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
contained in this sentence shall limit Borrower’s indemnity obligations with respect to claims asserted by Persons (other than the Agents and the Lenders) to the extent set forth in this Section 10.3. 

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. 

SECTION 10.4 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each
Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.4(j),
any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) Apache must give its
prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Banks must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each
such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be in increments of GBP1,000,000 and not less than GBP10,000,000 unless each of Borrower and the

  
 71 

 
Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iv) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of GBP3,500, and (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that in no event shall any assignment or delegation be made by any Issuing Bank in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit
without Borrower’s prior written consent in its sole and absolute discretion; and provided further that any consent of Apache otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section
8.1 has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be
a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.4, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. 

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a
copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and
Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register and will provide prompt
written notice to Borrower of the effectiveness of such Assignment. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks
or other entities (a “Participant”) in all 

  
 72 

 
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) if such Participant is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, such Lender shall have
given notice to Borrower of the name of the Participant and the amount of such participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the first proviso to Section 10.2(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section and to Section 2.18(b), Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. 

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless Borrower shall expressly agree otherwise in writing. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall
not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as
though it were a Lender. 
 (g) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 
 (h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank or, in the case of a Lender organized in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, a comparable Person, and this Section shall not
apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto. 

  
 73 

 (i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no assignments or participations shall be
made to any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries, any Defaulting Lender or its Lender Parent or to any natural person, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons
described in this clause. 
 SECTION 10.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower
herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.14,
2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.3 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Letters of Credit, the Letter of Credit Commitments and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 10.6 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as
provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 10.7
Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without
affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 10.8 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Obligations of Borrower shall
have been accelerated, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,

  
 74 

 
provisional or final) at any time held by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations of each Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Any Lender exercising its right of setoff pursuant to
this Section 10.8 shall provide prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such setoff, the amount of such setoff and any other material details of such setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 10.9 GOVERNING LAW;
JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. 
 (a) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.9(a), THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER LC DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. LETTERS OF CREDIT ISSUED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR
THE LAW SPECIFIED IN THE PRE-APPROVED LC FORMS AND EITHER THE “INTERNATIONAL STANDBY PRACTICES 1998” (“ISP 98”) PUBLISHED BY THE INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING LAW & PRACTICE, INC. OR THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR
DOCUMENTARY CREDITS 600 (“UCP 600”) (OR SUCH LATER VERSION OF ISP 98 OR UCP 600 AS MAY BE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF ISSUANCE), AS SPECIFIED BY APACHE AT THE TIME IT APPLIES FOR SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT. 

(b) BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME
COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE
OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE AGENTS, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE
COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 
 (c) BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND
EFFECTIVELY DO SO, 

  
 75 

 
ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THE FIRST
SENTENCE OF PARAGRAPH (b) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

 (d) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE
WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. 

(e) Each Additional Borrower designates, appoints and empowers Apache as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge
for and on its behalf, service for any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any action, suit or proceeding brought in the courts listed in Section 10.9 which may be made on such designee, appointee and
agent in accordance with legal procedures prescribed for such courts, with respect to any suit, action or proceeding in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

SECTION 10.10 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only,
are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 10.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, agents (acting in their capacity as such), advisors and other
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory or self-regulatory authority reasonably purporting to have jurisdiction over it, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any rating
agency to the extent required by it or (iii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization to the extent required by it in connection with this Agreement, (g) with the consent of Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information (x)
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by any Person or (y) becomes available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than
Borrower. Prior to disclosing any Information under clause (c) above, the Agent, the Issuing Bank or Lender required to make such disclosure shall make a good faith effort to give 

  
 76 

 
Borrower prior notice of such proposed disclosure to permit Borrower to attempt to obtain a protective order or other appropriate injunctive relief. For purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such
Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

SECTION 10.12 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable interest,
usury and criminal laws and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Borrower to a Lender or any Agent under this Agreement shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent
that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to such Lender or Agent limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by such Lender or Agent. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be
illegal, unenforceable, usurious or criminal under laws applicable to a Lender or Agent (including the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender or Agent notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document but subject to Section 2.12 hereof) then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is agreed as follows: 

(i) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control; 

(ii) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken,
reserved, charged or received under this Agreement, or under any of the other aforesaid agreements or otherwise in connection with this Agreement by such Lender or Agent shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by
applicable law (such maximum lawful interest rate, if any, with respect to each Lender and the Agent herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”), and any excess shall be cancelled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited
to Borrower by such Lender or Agent (or, if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess refunded to Borrower); 

(iii) all sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to such Lender or Agent for the use, forbearance and detention of the indebtedness
of Borrower to such Lender or Agent hereunder or under any Loan Document shall, to the extent permitted by laws applicable to such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such
indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform throughout the full term thereof; 
 (iv)
if at any time the interest provided pursuant to this Section or any other clause of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with any other fees or 

  
 77 

 
compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and deemed interest under laws applicable to such Lender or Agent, exceeds that amount which would have accrued at the
Highest Lawful Rate, the amount of interest and any such fees or compensation to accrue to such Lender or Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to
that amount which would have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions, as applicable, shall not reduce the interest to accrue to such Lender or Agent pursuant to this Agreement below the Highest Lawful Rate until the total
amount of interest accrued pursuant to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, and such fees or compensation deemed to be interest equals the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender or Agent if a varying
rate per annum equal to the interest provided pursuant to any other relevant Section hereof (other than this Section), as applicable, had at all times been in effect, plus the amount of fees which would have been received but for the effect of this
Section; and 
 (v) with the intent that the rate of interest herein shall at all times be lawful, and if the receipt of any
funds owing hereunder or under any other agreement related hereto (including any of the other Loan Documents) by such Lender or Agent would cause such Lender to charge Borrower a criminal rate of interest, the Lenders and the Agents agree that they
will not require the payment or receipt thereof or a portion thereof which would cause a criminal rate of interest to be charged by such Lender or Agent, as applicable, and if received such affected Lender or Agent will return such funds to Borrower
so that the rate of interest paid by Borrower shall not exceed a criminal rate of interest from the date this Agreement was entered into. 

SECTION 10.13 Joint and Several Obligations. Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest and in pursuance of its
legitimate business purposes to induce the Lenders to extend credit to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges and represents that the availability of the Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments to each of
Borrowers benefits each Borrower individually and that the Loans and Letters of Credit made will be for and inure to the benefit of each of Borrowers individually and as a group. Accordingly, Apache shall be liable (as a principal and not as a
surety, guarantor or other accommodation party) for each and every representation, warranty, covenant and obligation to be performed by Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Apache acknowledges that in extending the credit
provided herein the Agents and the Lenders are relying upon the fact that the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder are the obligations of Apache. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Borrower, other than
Apache, shall be severally, and not jointly, liable for all Obligations incurred by such Borrower under this Agreement. The invalidity, unenforceability or illegality of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as to one Borrower or the
release by the Agents or the Lenders of a Borrower hereunder or thereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the other Borrowers under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all of which shall otherwise remain valid and legally binding
obligations of the other Borrowers. 
 SECTION 10.14 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and Issuing Bank that is subject to the USA
Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank) hereby notifies each Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the 

  
 78 

 
USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that
will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. 

SECTION 10.15 NO FIDUCIARY DUTY. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the
“Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of Borrower and/or its Affiliates. Each Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or
fiduciary duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Borrower or its Affiliates, on the other. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies
thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or
fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently
advising or will advise any Borrower or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Agent and Lender is acting solely as principal and not as
the agent or fiduciary of any Borrower or its Affiliates. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent
judgment with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 10.16 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of
EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such
liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial
Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with
the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 

  
 79 

 SECTION 10.17 NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

any special provisions that apply to Participants affected by a designated corporation transaction, and (4) describe any special distribution rules that apply to directly transferred benefits from other plans.

	1.14	Compensation 

 “Compensation” means: 

 

	 	(a)	Compensation for Annual Additions. 

  

	 	(i)	Items Included. For purposes of determining the limitation on Annual Additions under section 3.4, Compensation means those amounts reported as “wages, tips, other compensation” on Form W-2 by Apache or an Affiliated Entity elective contributions that would have been reported as “wages, tips, other compensation” on Form W-2 by Apache or an

compensation” based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed. 

  

	 	(ii)	Timing Restrictions. Compensation includes amounts that are paid or made available to the Participant during the Limitation Year. Compensation does not include amounts paid after a Participant’s termination
of employment except that Compensation does include (A) amounts included in the final payment of his regular compensation for services provided before his termination (including regular pay, overtime, shift differential, commissions, bonuses,
and similar payments), but only if the amounts are paid during the Limitation Year in which the termination occurred or, if later, within 2 1⁄2 months of his
termination, (B) the cash-out of any paid time off that the former employee would have been able to use had his employment continued, but only if such amount is paid during the Limitation Year in which the termination occurs or, if later,
within 2 1⁄2 months of his termination, and (C) payments from an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan (1) that are includible in the
Participant’s gross income (2) that are paid during the Limitation Year in which the termination occurred or, if later, within 2 1⁄2 months of the
termination, and (3) that would have been paid on such date(s) if the Participant had continued in employment. 

  

	 	(b)	Compensation for Top-Heavy Minimum Contributions and Identifying Highly Compensated Employees and Key Employees. For purposes of determining the minimum contribution under section 11.4 when the Plan is top-heavy,
and for identifying Highly Compensated Employees and Key Employees, Compensation means the amounts that would be included as Compensation under subsection (a) if every occurrence of the phrase “Limitation Year” were replaced by the
phrase “Plan Year.” 

  

	 	(c)	Code §414(s) Compensation. For purposes of the ADP and ACP tests under sections 3.5 and 3.6, and for purposes of allocating QNECs under subsection 3.7(c) and QMACs under subsection 3.8(c), Compensation means
any definition of compensation for a Plan Year, as selected by the Committee, that satisfies the requirements of Code §414(s) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The definition of Compensation used in one Plan Year may differ from the

	 	(ii)	Exclusions. Compensation excludes:

		 	Page 3 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(B)	Severance pay, 

  

	 	(C)	Moving expenses, 

  

	 	(D)	Any gross-up of moving expenses to account for increased income or employment taxes, 

  

	 	(E)	Foreign service premiums paid as an inducement to work outside of the United States, 

  

	 	(F)	Credits or benefits under this Plan (except as provided in subparagraph (i)(D)) and credits or benefits under the Apache Corporation Money Purchase Retirement Plan, 

 

	 	(G)	Other contingent compensation, 

  

	 	(H)	Any amount relating to the granting of a stock option by the Company or an Affiliated Entity, the exercise of such a stock option, or the sale or deemed sale of any shares thereby acquired, 

 

	 	(I)	Contributions to any other fringe benefit plan (including, but not limited to, overriding royalty payments or any other exploration-related payments), 

 

	 	(J)	Any bonus other than a bonus described in subparagraph (i)(C), and 

  

	 	(K)	Except as provided under subparagraph (i)(F), any benefit accrued under, or any payment from, any nonqualified plan of deferred compensation. 

 

	 	(iii)	Timing Issues. Compensation includes amounts that are paid to the Employee during that portion of a Plan Year while the Employee is a Covered Employee. Compensation does not include amounts paid after an
Employee’s termination of employment, except that Compensation does include (A) amounts included in the final payment of his regular compensation for services provided before his termination (including regular pay, overtime, shift
differential, commissions, bonuses, and similar payments), but only if the amounts are paid during the Plan Year in which the termination occurred or, if later, within 2 1⁄2 months of his termination and (B) any cash-out of accrued vacation time that the former employee would have been able to use had he continued in employment that is paid to him during the Plan Year in which
the termination occurred or, if later, within 2 1⁄2 months of his termination. 

 

	 	(e)	Deferral Compensation. For purposes of determining Participant Contributions under section 3.2 and for purposes of determining and allocating Company Matching Contributions under subsection 3.1(b), Compensation
means Compensation as defined in subsection (d), but only including amounts paid after the Employee has satisfied the eligibility requirements of subsection 2.1(a). 

 

	 	(f)	Limit on Compensation. For all purposes of subsection (a), for purposes of calculating the minimum contribution required in top-heavy years under subsection (b), for all purposes of subsections (c) and (d),
and for purposes of determining the allocation of Company Matching Contributions under subsection (e), the Compensation taken into account for the Limitation Year or Plan Year shall not exceed the dollar limit specified in Code §401(a)(17) in
effect for the Limitation Year or Plan Year. 

  

	1.15	Covered Employee 

 “Covered Employee” means any Employee of the Company, with
the following exceptions. 
  

	 	(a)	Any individual directly employed by an entity other than the Company shall not be a Covered Employee, even if such individual is considered a common-law employee of the Company or is treated as an employee of the
Company pursuant to Code §414(n). 

  

	 	(b)	An Employee shall not be a Covered Employee unless he is either based in the U.S. or on the U.S. payroll. An individual is not an Eligible Employee even if he is on the U.S. payroll if (i) he is neither a U.S.
citizen nor U.S. resident, and (ii) he performs no services for Apache or any Affiliated Entity in the U.S. (in other words, third country nationals are not Eligible Employees). 

 

	 	(c)	An Employee included in a unit of Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement shall not be a Covered Employee unless the collective bargaining agreement specifically provides for such Employee’s
participation in the Plan. 

  

					
		 	Page 4 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(d)	An Employee whose job is classified as “temporary” shall be a Covered Employee only after he has worked for the Company and Affiliated Entities for six consecutive months. 

 

	 	(e)	An Employee shall not be a Covered Employee while he is classified as an “intern,” a “consultant,” or an “independent contractor.” An Employee may be classified as an “intern”
only if he is currently enrolled (or the Company expects him to be enrolled within the next 12 months) in a high school, college, or university. An Employee may be classified as an intern even if he does not receive academic course credit from his
school for this employment with the Company. 

  

	 	(f)	An individual who is employed pursuant to a written agreement with an agency or other third party for a specific job assignment or project shall not be a Covered Employee. 

 

	1.16	Disability 

 “Disability” means a physical or mental condition that qualifies
the Employee for long-term disability payments under Apache’s Long-Term Disability Plan. 
  

	1.17	Domestic Relations Order 

 “Domestic Relations Order” means any judgment,
decree, or order (including approval of a property settlement agreement) issued by a court of competent jurisdiction that relates to the provisions of child support, alimony or maintenance payments, or marital property rights to a Participant’s
Spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent and is made pursuant to a state domestic relations law (including a community property law). 
  

	1.18	Employee 

 “Employee” means each individual who performs services for the
Company or an Affiliated Entity and whose wages are subject to withholding by the Company or an Affiliated Entity. The term “Employee” includes only individuals currently performing services for the Company or an Affiliated Entity, and
excludes former Employees who are still being paid by the Company or an Affiliated Entity (whether through the payroll system, through overriding royalty payments, through exploration-related payments, severance, or otherwise). The term
“Employee” also includes any individual who provides services to the Company or an Affiliated Entity pursuant to an agreement between the Company or an Affiliated Entity and a third party that employs the individual, but only if the

		 	Page 12 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(c)	Procedures. Participant Contributions shall be made according to rules prescribed by the Committee that are consistent with the rules in this subsection. 

 

	 	(i)	Authorization. An individual who has become, or who is expected to shortly become, a Covered Employee may make an affirmative election to make have amounts withheld from his Compensation and to have such
Participant Contributions contributed to this Plan; such Participant Contributions shall begin as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant has satisfied the waiting period described in subsection 2.1(a). In addition, an individual
who becomes a Covered Employee shall be automatically enrolled in the Plan, and will make Participant Contributions at 8% of his Compensation, unless he affirmatively elects otherwise; the Participant Contributions will not be designated Roth
contributions within the meaning of Code §402A(c)(1)), unless he affirmatively elects otherwise; the Participant shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity of at least 30 days to select a different rate of Participant Contribution and the
extent to which the Participant Contributions are designated Roth contributions within the meaning of Code §402A(c)(1)); the Participant shall be notified in a sufficiently accurate and comprehensive manner that apprises the Participant of his
rights and obligations, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant, that explains his right to elect a contribution percentage rate that is not 8% of Compensation (and that may be 0%), that explains when such automatic
contributions will begin (unless he makes an affirmative election otherwise), and that explains how such automatic Participant Contributions and the associated match will be invested. Any authorization or deemed authorization may apply only to
Compensation that is not then currently available to the Participant. Such authorization or deemed authorization shall remain in effect until revoked or changed by the Participant. If an Employee makes a hardship withdrawal from his Participant
Contributions Account or Roth Contributions Account under section 6.5, his contribution rate shall be immediately reduced to 0%, and shall remain at 0% for at least 6 months. To be effective, any authorization, change of authorization, change of
designation of Participant Contributions as designated Roth Contributions within the meaning of Code §402A(c)(1), or notice of revocation must be filed with the Committee according to such restrictions and requirements as the Committee
prescribes. The Committee shall establish procedures from time to time for Participants to change their contribution elections, which procedures shall be communicated to Participants. The Committee may establish different procedures for Participant
Contributions from different types of Compensation, such as bonuses. The Committee may establish different procedures for each type of Participant Contributions. A Participant who also participates in the NQ Plan or the Restorative Plan may make a
combined contribution election that applies to both this Plan and the NQ Plan or Restorative Plan; once made, such combined elections are irrevocable for the periods and the compensation described in the elections. 

 

	 	(ii)	Catch-Up Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions. The Committee’s procedures for Catch-Up Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions shall allow all Participants who can make such contributions the
effective opportunity to make the same dollar amount of such contributions for the calendar year. 

  

	 	(iii)	Inadequate Paycheck. If the amounts withheld from a Participant’s paycheck (including, without limitation, loan repayments, Participant Contributions, taxes, contributions to the NQ Plan or the Restorative
Plan, and premium payments for various benefits) are greater than the paycheck, the Committee shall establish the order in which the deductions shall be applied, with the result that Participant Contributions may be reduced below what the
Participant had elected. The Committee’s procedures may also automatically increase a Participant’s Participant Contributions in subsequent pay periods to make up for any missed contributions. 

 

	 	(d)	 Rollovers. The Plan may accept any rollover from or on behalf of a Covered Employee, subject to the following rules. The Committee shall decide
from time to time which types of rollovers the Plan will accept, and the conditions under which the Plan will accept them. A rollover may be comprised of a direct transfer of an eligible rollover distribution from a qualified plan described in Code
§401(a), a qualified annuity plan described in Code §403(a), an annuity contract described in Code §403(b), or an eligible plan under Code §457(b) that is maintained by an eligible employer described in Code §457(e)(1)(A)
(which generally includes state or local governments), except that the rollover may not

include any after-tax contributions, though a direct rollover from such sources may include designated Roth contributions within the meaning of Code §402A(c)(1) and the earnings thereon. A
rollover may also be comprised of the portion of a distribution from an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code §408(a) or §408(b) that is eligible to be rolled over and that would otherwise be included in the Covered
Employee’s gross income, but a rollover may not be comprised of amounts from a Roth IRA within the meaning of Code §408A(b). If the Plan accepts a contribution and subsequently determines that the contribution did not satisfy the
conditions for the Plan to accept it, the Plan shall distribute such contribution, as well as the net increase or decrease in the net value of the Trust Fund attributable to the contribution, to the Covered Employee as soon as administratively
practicable. All rollovers accepted under this subsection shall be allocated to Rollover Accounts, except for direct rollovers of designated Roth contributions within the meaning of Code §402A(c)(1) and the earning thereon, which shall be
allocated to Roth Rollover Accounts. 

  

	3.3	Return of Contributions. 

  

	 	(a)	Mistake of Fact. Upon the request of the Company, the Trustee shall return to the Company, any Company Contribution made under a mistake of fact. The amount that shall be returned shall not exceed the excess of
the amount contributed (reduced to reflect any decrease in the net worth of the appropriate Accounts attributable thereto) over the amount that would have been contributed without the mistake of fact. Appropriate reductions shall be made in the
Accounts of Participants to reflect the return of any contributions previously credited to such Accounts. If the Company so requests, any contribution made under a mistake of fact shall be returned to the Company within one year after the date of
payment. 

  

	 	(b)	Non-Deductible Contributions. Upon the request of the Company, the Trustee shall return to the Company, any Company Contribution or Participant Contribution that is not deductible under Code §404. The
Company shall pay any returned Participant Contribution to the appropriate Participant or the NQ Plan or Restorative Plan, as appropriate, as soon as administratively practicable, subject to any withholding. All contributions under the Plan are
expressly conditioned upon their deductibility for federal income tax purposes. The amount that shall be returned shall be the excess of the amount contributed (reduced to reflect any decrease in the net worth of the appropriate Accounts
attributable thereto) over the amount that would have been contributed if there had not been a mistake in determining the deduction. Appropriate reductions shall be made in the Accounts of Participants to reflect the return of any contributions
previously credited to such Accounts. Any contribution conditioned on its deductibility shall be returned within one year after it is disallowed as a deduction. 

  

	 	(c)	Effect of Correction. A contribution shall be returned under this section only to the extent that its return will not reduce the Account(s) of a Participant to an amount less than the balance that would have been
credited to the Participant’s Account(s) had the contribution not been made. 

  

	3.4	Limitation on Annual Additions. 

 The Annual Additions to a Participant’s Account(s)
in this Plan and to his accounts in any other defined contribution plans maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Entity for any Limitation Year shall not exceed in the aggregate the lesser of (a) $40,000 (as adjusted for inflation pursuant
to Code §415(d)), or (b) 100% of the Participant’s Compensation. The limit in clause (b) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Code §419A(f)(2)) after separation from service that is
treated as an Annual Addition. 
  

	3.5	Contribution Limits for Highly Compensated Employees (ADP Test). 

  

	 	(a)	Limits on Contributions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, the actual deferral percentage (“ADP”) test of Code §401(k)(3) shall be satisfied. Code §401(k) and the
regulations issued thereunder are hereby incorporated by reference to the extent permitted by such regulations. In performing the ADP test for a Plan Year, the Plan will use that Plan Year’s data for the Non-Highly Compensated Employees.

  

	 	(b)	Permissible Variations of the ADP Test. To the extent permitted by the regulations under Code §401(m) and §401(k), 401(k) Contributions, QMACs, and QNECs may be used to satisfy the ACP test of section
3.6 if they are not used to satisfy the ADP test. The Committee may elect to exclude from the ADP test those Non-Highly Compensated Employees who, at the end of the Plan Year, had not attained age 21 and/or whose Period of Service was less than one
year. 

  

  

					
		 	Page 14 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(c)	Advanced Limitation on Participant Contributions or Company Matching Contributions. The Committee may limit the Participant Contributions of any Highly Compensated Employee (or any Employee expected to be a
Highly Compensated Employee) at any time during the Plan Year, with the result that his share of Company Matching Contributions may be limited. This limitation may be made, if practicable, whenever the Committee believes that the limits of this
section or sections 3.4 or 3.6 will not be satisfied for the Plan Year. 

  

	 	(d)	Corrections to Satisfy Test. If the ADP test is not satisfied for the Plan Year, the Committee shall decide which one or more of the following methods shall be employed to satisfy the ADP test. All corrections
shall be accomplished if possible before March 15 of the following Plan Year, and in no event later than 12 months after the close of the Plan Year. 

  

	 	(i)	The Committee may recommend to the Company and the Company may make QNECs and/or QMACs to the Plan, pursuant to subsections 3.7(c) and 3.8(c). 

 

	 	(ii)	The Committee may recommend to the Company and the Company may designate any Company Discretionary Contribution allocated to Non-Highly Compensated Employees as QNECs, pursuant to subsection 3.7(b). 

 

	 	(iii)	The Committee may recommend to the Company and the Company may designate any Company Matching Contributions allocated to Non-Highly Compensated Employees as QMACs, pursuant to section 3.8(b). 

 

	 	(iv)	401(k) Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees may be recharacterized as Catch-Up Contributions or returned to the Highly Compensated Employee, without the consent of either the Highly Compensated Employee or his
Spouse, subject to the rules of subsection (f). 

  

	 	(v)	Roth Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees may be recharacterized as Roth Catch-Up Contributions or returned to the Highly Compensated Employee, without the consent of either the Highly Compensated Employee or
his Spouse, subject to the rules of subsection (f). 

  

	 	(e)	Order of Correction. The method described in subsection (c) shall be employed first, during the Plan Year. If that method is not used during the Plan Year, or if the net effect of such method was
insufficient for the ADP test to be satisfied, the Company has the discretion to use any one or more of the methods described in paragraphs (d)(i), (d)(ii), and (d)(iii). If the Company does not choose to make the corrections described in paragraphs
(d)(i), (d)(ii), and (d)(iii), or if such corrections are insufficient to satisfy the ADP test, then the correction method described in paragraphs (d)(iv) and (d)(v) shall be used in tandem, as described in subsection (f). 

 

	 	(f)	Calculating the Amounts Returned or Recharacterized. If the ADP test is not satisfied, and 401(k) Contributions or Roth Contributions are returned or recharacterized pursuant to paragraph (d)(iv) or (d)(v) above,
the Committee shall determine the amount to be returned or recharacterized and shall then allocate that amount among the Highly Compensated Employees pursuant to Treasury Regulations. The correction for each Highly Compensated Employee shall occur
in the following order, to the extent necessary: 401(k) Contributions shall be recharacterized as Catch-Up Contributions to the extent possible, then Roth Contributions shall be recharacterized as Roth Catch-Up Contributions to the extent possible,
then unmatched 401(k) Contributions shall be returned to the Participant, then unmatched Roth Contributions shall be returned to the Participant, then matched 401(k) Contributions shall be returned to the Participant and the corresponding Company
Matching Contribution shall be forfeited (unless the ACP test was performed before the ADP test, and the vested Company Matching Contribution has already been returned to the Participant or the unvested Company Matching Contribution has already been
forfeited, both pursuant to paragraph 3.6(c)(v)), then matched Roth Contributions shall be returned to the Participant and the corresponding Company Matching Contribution shall be forfeited (unless the ACP test was performed before the ADP test, and
the vested Company Matching Contribution has already been returned to the Participant or the unvested Company Matching Contribution has already been forfeited, both pursuant to paragraph 3.6(c)(v)). The amount actually recharacterized or returned to
each Highly Compensated Employee 

  

					
		 	Page 15 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	
shall be adjusted to reflect as nearly as possible the actual increase or decrease in the net value of the Trust Fund attributable to the correction through the end of the Plan Year for which the
correction is being made. 

  

	3.6	Contribution Limits for Highly Compensated Employees (ACP Test). 

  

	 	(a)	Limits on Contributions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, the actual contribution percentage (“ACP”) test of Code §401(m)(2) shall be satisfied. Code §401(m) and the
regulations issued thereunder are hereby incorporated by reference to the extent permitted by such regulations. In performing the ACP test for a Plan Year, the Plan will use that Plan Year’s data for the Non-Highly Compensated Employees.

  

	 	(b)	Permissible Variations of the ACP Test. To the extent permitted by the regulations under Code §401(m) and §401(k), 401(k) Contributions, Roth Contributions, QMACs, and QNECs may be used to satisfy this
test if not used to satisfy the ADP test of section 3.5. The Committee may elect to exclude from the ACP test those Non-Highly Compensated Employees who, at the end of the Plan Year, had not attained age 21 and/or whose Period of Service was for
less than one year. 

  

	 	(c)	Corrections to Satisfy Test. If the ACP test is not satisfied, the Committee shall decide which one or more of the following methods shall be employed to satisfy the ACP test. All corrections shall be
accomplished if possible before March 15 of the following Plan Year, and in no event later than 12 months after the close of the Plan Year. 

  

	 	(i)	The Committee may recommend to the Company and the Company may make QNECs or QMACs to the Plan, pursuant to subsections 3.7(c) and 3.8(c). 

 

	 	(ii)	The Committee may recommend to the Company and the Company may designate any portion of its Company Discretionary Contributions as QNECs, pursuant to subsection 3.7(b). 

 

	 	(iii)	The Committee may recommend to the Company and the Company may designate any portion of its Company Matching Contributions as QMACs, pursuant to subsection 3.8(b). 

 

	 	(iv)	The Committee may recommend to the Company and the Company may make extra Company Matching Contributions to the Plan, pursuant to paragraph 3.1(b)(ii). 

 

	 	(v)	The non-vested Company Matching Contributions allocated to Highly Compensated Employees as of any date during the Plan Year may be forfeited as of the last day of the Plan Year, and the vested Company Matching
Contributions allocated to any Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year may be paid to such Highly Compensated Employee, without the consent of either the Highly Compensated Employee or his Spouse, subject to the rules of subsection (e).

  

	 	(vi)	Those 401(k) Contributions and Roth Contributions that are taken into account for this ACP test for any Highly Compensated Employee may be returned to such Highly Compensated Employee, without the consent of either the
Highly Compensated Employee or his Spouse, subject to the rules of subsection (e). 

  

	 	(d)	Order of Correction. The method described in subsection 3.5(c) shall be employed first, during the Plan Year. If that method is not used during the Plan Year, or if the net effect of such method was insufficient
for the ACP test to be satisfied, the Company has the discretion to use any one or more of the methods described in paragraphs (c)(i), (c)(ii), (c)(iii) and (c)(iv). If the Company does not choose to make the corrections described in paragraphs
(c)(i), (c)(ii), (c)(iii), and (c)(iv) or if such corrections are insufficient to satisfy the ACP test, then the correction methods described in paragraphs (c)(v) and (c)(vi) shall be used, as described in subsection (e). 

 

	 	(e)	 Calculating the Corrective Reduction. If the correction methods described in paragraphs (c)(v) and (c)(vi) are to be used, the Committee shall
determine the amount of the correction and then allocate that amount among the Highly Compensated Employees pursuant to Treasury Regulations. The corrections under paragraphs (c)(v) and (c)(vi) are done in tandem; thus, the correction shall be
accomplished in the following order, to the extent necessary: 401(k) Contributions shall be recharacterized as Catch-Up Contributions to the extent possible, then Roth Contributions shall be recharacterized as Roth Catch-Up Contributions to the
extent possible, then unmatched 401(k) Contributions shall be returned to the Participant, then unmatched Roth Contributions shall be returned 

  

					
		 	Page 16 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	
to the Participant, then the vested Company Matching Contribution shall be paid to the Participant, then matched 401(k) Contributions shall be returned to the Participant and any corresponding
unvested Company Matching Contribution shall be forfeited, then matched Roth Contributions shall be returned to the Participant and any corresponding unvested Company Matching Contribution shall be forfeited. The amount of the correction shall be
adjusted to reflect as nearly as possible the actual increase or decrease in the net value of the Trust Fund attributable to the correction through the end of the Plan Year for which the correction is being made. 

 

	3.7	QNECs. 

  

	 	(a)	Time of Payment. QNECs shall be paid to the Plan no later than 12 months after the close of the Plan Year to which they relate. 

 

	 	(b)	Source. The Company may designate as a QNEC all or any portion of the Company Discretionary Contribution that is allocated to Non-Highly Compensated Employees. The designation of Company Contributions as QNECs
shall be made before such contributions are made to the Trust Fund. If the Company inadvertently designates any Highly Compensated Employee’s allocation as a QNEC, the designation shall be ineffective. 

 

	 	(c)	Allocation. The Company may make a contribution to the Plan, in addition to the Company Discretionary Contribution, that the Company designates as a QNEC. This subsection applies to such contributions. As of the
last day of each Plan Year, the Committee shall allocate such QNECs for such Plan Year (including such forfeitures occurring during such Plan Year that are treated as QNECs pursuant to subsection 5.4(d)) to the Participant Contributions Accounts of
those Non-Highly Compensated Employees who were Covered Employees on the last day of the Plan Year, as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	QNECs shall be allocated to the Participant Contributions Account of the Non-Highly Compensated Employee with the least Compensation, until either the QNECs are exhausted or the Non-Highly Compensated Employee has
received the maximum QNEC allocation that can be taken into account in the ADP test or the ACP test, whichever is applicable. Under Treasury Regulation §1.401(k)-2(a)(6)(iv) or §1.401(m)-2(a)(5)(ii), the maximum QNEC allocation, for this
Plan, is generally 5% of the Non-Highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation. 

  

	 	(ii)	Any remaining QNECs shall be allocated to the Participant Contributions Account of the Non-Highly Compensated Employee with the next lowest Compensation, until either the QNECs are exhausted or the Non-Highly
Compensated Employee has received the maximum QNEC allocation that can be taken into account in the ADP test or the ACP test, whichever is applicable. 

  

	 	(iii)	The procedure in paragraph (ii) shall be repeated until all QNECs have been allocated. 

  

	 	(d)	Coordination with Top-Heavy Rules. All QNECs shall be treated in the same manner as a Company Discretionary Contribution for purposes of section 12.4. 

 

	3.8	QMACs. 

  

	 	(a)	Time of Payment. QMACs shall be paid to the Plan no later than 12 months after the close of the Plan Year to which they relate. 

 

	 	(b)	Source. The Company may designate as a QMAC all or any portion of the Company Matching Contributions that is allocated to Non-Highly Compensated Employees. The designation of Company Contributions as QMACs shall
be made before such contributions are made to the Trust Fund. If the Company inadvertently designates any Highly Compensated Employee’s allocation as a QMAC, the designation shall be ineffective. 

 

	 	(c)	Allocation. The Company may make a contribution to the Plan, in addition to the Company Matching Contribution, that the Company designates as a QMAC. This subsection applies to such contributions. As of the last
day of each Plan Year, the Committee shall allocate such QMACs for such Plan Year (including such forfeitures occurring during such Plan Year that are treated as QMACs pursuant to subsection 5.4(d)) to the Participant Contributions Accounts of those
Non-Highly Compensated Employees who were Covered Employees on the last day of the Plan Year and who made Participant Contributions for the Plan Year, as follows: 

  

					
		 	Page 17 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(i)	QMACs shall be allocated to the Participant Contributions Account of the Non-Highly Compensated Employee with the least Compensation, until either the QMACs are exhausted or the Non-Highly Compensated Employee has
received the maximum QMAC allocation that can be taken into account in the ADP test or the ACP test, whichever is applicable. Under Treasury Regulation §1.401(k)-2(a)(6)(iv) or §1.401(m)-2(a)(5)(ii), the maximum QMAC allocation, for this
Plan, is generally 5% of the Non-Highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation. 

  

	 	(ii)	Any remaining QMACs shall be allocated to the Participant Contributions Account of the Non-Highly Compensated Employee with the next lowest Compensation, until either the QMACs are exhausted or the Non-Highly
Compensated Employee has received the maximum QMAC allocation that can be taken into account in the ADP test or the ACP test, whichever is applicable. 

  

	 	(iii)	The procedure in paragraph (ii) shall be repeated until all QMACs have been allocated. 

  

	 	(d)	Coordination with Top-Heavy Rules. All QMACs shall be treated in the same manner as a Company Discretionary Contribution for purposes of section 12.4. 

ARTICLE IV 
 Interests in
the Trust Fund 
  

	4.1	Participants’ Accounts. 

 The Committee shall establish and maintain separate
Accounts in the name of each Participant, but the maintenance of such Accounts shall not require any segregation of assets of the Trust Fund. Each Account shall contain the contributions specified below and the increase or decrease in the net worth
of the Trust Fund attributable to such contributions. 
  

	 	(a)	Participant Contributions Account. A Participant Contributions Account shall be established for each Participant who makes Participant Contributions other than Roth Contributions or Roth Catch-Up Contributions or
who receives an allocation of QNECs or QMACs. The Committee may elect to establish subaccounts for the different types of contributions allocated to this Account. 

 

	 	(b)	Company Contributions Account. A Company Contributions Account shall be established for each Participant who receives an allocation of Company Discretionary Contributions that are not designated as QNECs or an
allocation of Company Matching Contributions that are not designated as QMACs. The Committee may elect to establish subaccounts for the different types of contributions allocated to this Account. 

 

	 	(c)	Rollover Account. A Rollover Account shall be established for each Participant who makes a Rollover Contribution. 

  

	 	(d)	Roth Contributions Account. A Participant Contributions Account shall be established for each Participant who makes Roth Contributions or Roth Catch-Up Contributions. The Committee may elect to establish
subaccounts for the different types of contributions allocated to this Account. 

  

	 	(e)	Roth Rollover Account. A Roth Rollover Account shall be established for each Participant who makes a Roth Rollover Contribution. 

 

	4.2	Valuation of Trust Fund. 

  

	 	(a)	 General. The Trustee shall value the assets of the Trust Fund at least annually as of the last day of the Plan Year, and as of any other dates
determined by the Committee, at their current fair market value and determine the net worth of the Trust Fund. In addition, the Committee may direct the Trustee to have a special valuation of the assets of the Trust Fund when the Committee
determines, in its sole discretion, that such valuation is necessary or appropriate or in the event of unusual market fluctuations of such assets. Such special valuation shall not include any contributions made by Participants since the preceding
Valuation Date, any Company Contributions for the current Plan Year, or any unallocated forfeitures. The Trustee shall allocate the expenses of the Trust Fund occurring since the preceding Valuation Date, pursuant to section 9.2, and then determine
the increase or decrease in the 

  

					
		 	Page 18 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	
net worth of the Trust Fund that has occurred since the preceding Valuation Date. The Trustee shall determine the share of the increase of decrease that is attributable to the non-separately
accounted for portion of the Trust Fund and to any amount separately accounted for, as described in subsections (b) and (c). 

  

	 	(b)	Mandatory Separate Accounting. The Trustee shall separately account for (i) any individually directed investments permitted under section 9.3, and (ii) amounts subject to a Domestic Relations Order.

  

	 	(c)	Permissible Separate Accounting. The Trustee may separately account for the following amounts to provide a more equitable allocation of any increase or decrease in the net worth of the Trust Fund:

  

	 	(i)	the distributable amount of a Participant, pursuant to section 6.7, including any amount distributable to an Alternate Payee or to a beneficiary of a deceased Participant; and 

 

	 	(ii)	Company Matching Contributions made since the preceding Valuation Date; 

  

	 	(iii)	Participant Contributions that were received by the Trustee since the preceding Valuation Date; 

  

	 	(iv)	Company Matching Contributions, Roth Contributions, and 401(k) Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees that may need to be distributed or forfeited to satisfy the ADP and ACP tests of sections 3.5 or 3.6;

  

	 	(v)	Rollovers that were received by the Trustee since the preceding Valuation Date; 

  

	 	(vi)	Any other amounts for which separate accounting will provide a more equitable allocation of the increase or decrease in the net worth of the Trust Fund. 

 

	4.3	Allocation of Increase or Decrease in Net Worth. 

 The Committee shall, as of each
Valuation Date, allocate the increase or decrease in the net worth of the Trust Fund that has occurred since the preceding Valuation Date between the non-separately accounted for portion of the Trust Fund and the amounts separately accounted for
that are identified in subsections 4.2(b) and 4.2(c). The increase or decrease attributable to the non-separately accounted for portion of the Trust Fund shall be allocated among the appropriate Accounts in the ratio that the dollar value of each
such Account bore to the aggregate dollar value of all such Accounts on the preceding Valuation Date after all allocations and credits made as of such date had been completed. The Committee shall then allocate any amounts separately accounted for
(including the increase or decrease in the net worth of the Trust Fund attributable to such amounts) to the appropriate Account(s) if such separate accounting is no longer necessary. 

ARTICLE V 
 Amount of
Benefits 
  

	5.1	Vesting Schedule. 

 A Participant shall have a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest
in all his Account(s) upon his Normal Retirement Age if he is an Employee on such date, upon his death while an Employee or while on an approved leave of absence from the Company or an Affiliated Entity, or upon his termination of employment with
the Company or an Affiliated Entity because of a Disability. In all other instances a Participant’s vested interest shall be calculated according to the following rules. 
  

	 	(a)	Participant Contributions Account and Rollover Account. A Participant shall be fully vested at all times in his Participant Contributions Account and his Rollover Account. 

 

	 	(b)	Company Contributions Account. A Participant shall become fully vested in his Company Contributions Account in accordance with the following schedule: 

 

					
	 Period of Service
	  	 Vesting Percentage
	 
	Less than 1 year	  	 	0	% 
	 At least 1 year, but less than 2 years
	  	 	20	% 
	 At least 2 years, but less than 3 years
	  	 	40	% 
	 At least 3 years, but less than 4 years
	  	 	60	% 
	 At least 4 years, but less than 5 years
	  	 	80	% 
	5 or more years	  	 	100	% 

  

					
		 	Page 19 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(c)	Change of Control. The Company Contributions Accounts of all Participants shall be fully vested as of the effective date of a “change in control.” For purposes of this subsection, a “change of
control” shall mean the event occurring when a person, partnership, or corporation, together with all persons, partnerships, or corporations acting in concert with each person, partnership, or corporation, or any or all of them, acquires more
than 20% of Apache’s outstanding voting securities; provided that a change of control shall not occur if such persons, partnerships, or corporations acquiring more than 20% of Apache’s voting securities is solicited to do so by
Apache’s board of directors, upon its own initiative, and such persons, partnerships, or corporations have not previously proposed to acquire more than 20% of Apache’s voting securities in an unsolicited offer made either to Apache’s
board of directors or directly to the stockholders of Apache. 

  

	 	(d)	Plan Termination. A Company Contributions Account shall be fully vested as described in section 10.1, which discusses the full or partial termination of the Plan or the complete discontinuance of contributions.

  

	5.2	Vesting After a Lapse in Apache Employment. 

  

	 	(a)	Separate Accounts. If a Participant is rehired before incurring a one-year Lapse in Apache Employment, he shall have only one Company Contributions Account, and its vested percentage shall be determined under
section 5.1. If a Participant is rehired after incurring a one-year Lapse in Apache Employment, he shall have two Company Contribution Accounts, an “old” Company Contributions Account for the contributions from his earlier episode of
employment, and a “new” Company Contributions Account for his later episode of employment. If both the old and new Company Contributions Accounts are fully vested, they shall be combined into a single Company Contributions Account.

  

	 	(b)	Vesting of New Account. The vested percentage of the new Company Contributions Account shall be determined based on all the Participant’s Periods of Service. 

 

	 	(c)	Vesting of Old Account. If the Participant’s Lapse in Apache Employment was for five years or longer, the vested percentage of the old Company Contributions Account shall be based solely on the
Participant’s Period of Service from his first episode of employment. If the Participant’s Lapse in Apache Employment was for less than five years, the vested percentage of the old Company Contributions Account shall be determined by
aggregating his Periods of Service from both episodes of employment. 

  

	5.3	Calculating Service. 

  

	 	(a)	Period of Service. 

  

	 	(i)	General. A Participant’s Period of Service shall be determined according to the provisions of the Plan in effect when the service was rendered. A Participant’s Period of Service begins on the date he
first begins to perform duties as an Employee for which he is entitled to payment, and ends on his Termination From Service Date. In addition, a Participant’s Period of Service also includes the period between his Termination From Service Date
and the day he again begins to perform duties for the Company or an Affiliated Entity for which he is entitled to payment, but only if such period is less than one year in duration. 

 

	 	(ii)	Additional Rules. The service-crediting provisions in this paragraph are more generous than required by the Code. 

  

	 	(A)	Leased Employees. For vesting purposes only, the Plan shall treat an individual as an Employee if he satisfies all the requirements specified in Code §414(n)(2) for being a leased employee of Apache’s
or an Affiliated Entity’s, except for the requirement of having performed such services for at least one year. 

  

	 	(B)	Approved Leave. If the Employee is absent from the Company or Affiliated Entity for more than one year because of an approved leave of absence (either with or without pay) for any reason (including, but not
limited to, jury duty) and the Employee returns to work at or prior to the expiration of his leave of absence, no Termination From Service Date will occur during the leave of absence. 

  

					
		 	Page 20 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(C)	Servicemen. See Article XV for special provisions that apply to Servicemen. 

  

	 	(D)	Corporate Transactions. See Appendix C for instances in which a new Employee’s Period of Service includes his prior employment with another company. 

 

	 	(E)	Contractors. If an “eligible contractor” becomes an Employee, his Period of Service shall include his previous continuous service as an eligible contractor, excluding any service provided before 2003.
An “eligible contractor” is an individual who (A) performed services for Apache or an Affiliated Entity on a substantially full-time basis in the capacity of an independent contractor (for federal income tax purposes); (B) became
an Employee within a month of ceasing to be an independent contractor working full-time for Apache or an Affiliated Entity; and (C) notified the Plan of his prior service as an independent contractor within two months of becoming an Employee
(or, if later, by February 28, 2006 or other deadline established by the Committee). 

  

	 	(b)	Termination From Service Date. 

  

	 	(i)	Usual Rule. If the Employee quits, is discharged, retires, or dies, his Termination From Service Date occurs on the last day the Employee performs services for the Company or an Affiliated Entity, except for an
Employee who incurs a Disability, in which case his Termination From Service Date does not occur, even if he quits, until the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date his Disability or the date he recovers from his Disability.

  

	 	(ii)	Other Absences. If an Employee is absent from the Company and Affiliated Entities for any reason other than a quit, discharge, or retirement, his “Termination From Service Date” is the earlier of
(A) the date he quits, is discharged, retires, or dies, or (B) one year from the date the Employee is absent from the Company or Affiliated Entity for any other reason (such as vacation, holiday, sickness, disability, leave of absence, or
temporary lay-off), with the following exception. If the Employee is absent from the Company or Affiliated Entity because of parental leave (which includes only the pregnancy of the Employee, the birth of the Employee’s child, the placement of
a child with the Employee in connection with adoption of such child by the Employee, or the caring for such child immediately following birth or placement) on the first anniversary of the day the Employee was first absent, his Termination From
Service Date does not occur until the second anniversary of the day he was first absent (and the period between the first and second anniversaries of the day he was first absent shall not be counted in his Period of Service). 

 

	 	(c)	Lapse in Apache Employment. A Lapse in Apache Employment means the period commencing on an individual’s Termination from Service Date and ending on the date he again begins to perform services as an
Employee. 

  

	5.4	Forfeitures. 

  

	 	(a)	Exceptions to the Vesting Rules. The following rules supersede the vesting rules of section 5.1. 

  

	 	(i)	Excess Annual Additions. Annual Additions to a Participant’s Accounts and any increase or decrease in the net worth of the Participant’s Accounts attributable to such Annual Additions may be reduced to
satisfy the limits described in section 3.4. Any reduction shall be used as specified in section 3.4. 

  

	 	(ii)	Excess Participant Contribution. Company Matching Contributions and any increase or decrease in the net worth of the Account(s) attributable to such contributions may be forfeited as of the last day of the Plan
Year if the Participant Contribution that they matched was returned under paragraph 3.2(a)(ii) or 3.2(b)(ii) or subsection 3.5(d) or 3.6(c). Any such forfeiture shall be used as specified in subsection (d). 

 

	 	(iii)	Missing Individuals. A missing individual’s vested Accounts may be forfeited as of the last day of any Plan Year, as provided in section 13.12. Any such forfeiture shall be used as specified in subsection

		 	Page 21 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(iv)	Excess Match. Company Matching Contributions that would violate Code §401(a)(17), and any increase or decrease in the net worth of the Account(s) attributable to such contributions, may be forfeited as
specified in subsection 3.1(b). Any such reduction shall be used as specified in subsection 3.1(b). 

  

	 	(b)	Regular Forfeitures. A Participant’s non-vested interest in his Company Contributions Account shall be forfeited at the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the date he terminated employment (or such later
date as is administratively convenient) or the date he receives a full distribution of his vested Plan Account. Any such forfeiture shall be used as specified in subsection (d). 

 

	 	(c)	Restoration of Forfeitures. 

  

	 	(i)	Missing Individuals. The forfeiture of a missing individual’s Account(s), as described in section 13.12, shall be restored to such individual if the individual makes a claim for such amount.

  

	 	(ii)	Regular Forfeitures. 

  

	 	(A)	Rehire Within 5 Years. If a Participant is rehired before incurring a five-year Lapse in Apache Employment, and the Participant has received a distribution of his entire vested interest in his Company
Contributions Account (with the result that the Participant forfeited his non-vested interest in such Account), then the exact amount of the forfeiture shall be restored to the Participant’s Account. All the rights, benefits, and features
available to the Participant when the forfeiture occurred shall be available with respect to the restored forfeiture. If such a Participant again terminates employment prior to becoming fully vested in his Company Contributions Account, the vested
portion of his Company Contributions Account shall be determined by applying the vested percentage determined under section 5.1 to the sum of (x) and (y), then subtracting (y) from such sum, where: (x) is the value of the
Participant’s Company Contributions Account as of the Valuation Date immediately following his most recent termination of employment; and (y) is the amount previously distributed to the Participant on account of the prior termination of
employment. 

  

	 	(B)	Rehire After 5 Years. If a Participant is rehired after incurring a five-year Lapse in Apache Employment, then no amount forfeited from his Company Contributions Account shall be restored to that Account.

  

	 	(iii)	Method of Forfeiture Restoration. Forfeitures that are restored shall be accomplished by an allocation of the forfeitures under subsection (d) or by a special Company Contribution pursuant to paragraph
3.1(c)(i). 

  

	 	(d)	Use of Forfeitures. The Committee shall decide how forfeitures are used. Forfeitures may be used (i) to restore Accounts as described in subsection (c), (ii) to pay those expenses of the Plan that are
properly payable from the Trust Fund and that are not paid by the Company or Account Owners or charged to Accounts, or (iii) as any Company Contribution. 

  

	5.5	Transfers - Portability. 

 If any other employer adopts this or a similar profit sharing
plan and enters into a reciprocal agreement with the Company that provides that (a) the transfer of a Participant from such employer to the Company (or vice versa) shall not be deemed a termination of employment for purposes of the plans, and
(b) service with either or both employers shall be credited for purposes of vesting under both plans, then the transferred Participant’s Account shall be unaffected by the transfer, except, if deemed advisable by the Committee, it may be
transferred to the trustee of the other plan. 
 ARTICLE VI 

Distribution of Benefits 
  

	6.1	Beneficiaries. 

  

	 	(a)	 Designating Beneficiaries. Each Account Owner shall file with the Committee a designation of the beneficiaries and contingent beneficiaries to
whom the distributable amount (determined pursuant to section 6.2) shall be paid in the event of the Account Owner’s death. In the absence of an effective 

  

					
		 	Page 22 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

 
beneficiary designation as to any portion of the distributable amount after a Participant dies, such amount shall be paid to the Participant’s surviving Spouse, or, if none, to his estate.
In the absence of an effective beneficiary designation as to any portion of the distributable amount after any non-Participant Account Owner dies, such amount shall be paid to the Account Owner’s estate. The Account Owner may change a
beneficiary designation at any time and without the consent of any previously designated beneficiary. 
  

	 	(b)	Special Rule for Married Participants. If the Account Owner is a married Participant, his Spouse shall be the sole beneficiary unless the Spouse has consented to the designation of a different beneficiary. To be
effective, the Spouse’s consent must be in writing, witnessed by a notary public, and filed with the Committee. Any spousal consent shall be effective only as to the Spouse who signed the consent. 

 

	 	(c)	Special Rule for Divorces. If an Account Owner has designated his spouse as a primary or contingent beneficiary, and the Account Owner and spouse later divorce (or their marriage is annulled), then the former
spouse will be treated as having pre-deceased the Account Owner for purposes of interpreting a beneficiary designation form completed prior to the divorce or annulment. This subsection will apply only if the Committee is informed of the divorce or
annulment before payment to the former spouse is authorized. 

  

	 	(d)	Disclaimers. Any individual or legal entity who is a beneficiary may disclaim all or any portion of his interest in the Plan, provided that the disclaimer satisfies the requirements of Code §2518(b) and
applicable state law. The legal guardian of a minor or legally incompetent person may disclaim for such person. The personal representative (or the individual or legal entity acting in the capacity of the personal representative according to
applicable state law) may disclaim on behalf of a beneficiary who has died. The amount disclaimed shall be distributed as if the disclaimant had predeceased the individual whose death caused the disclaimant to become a beneficiary.

  

	 	(e)	Multiple Beneficiaries. If an Account Owner has more than one beneficiary, each subaccount of the Account Owner shall be allocated proportionally to each beneficiary. Thus, for example, if the Account Owner has
designated Adam to receive $10,000, with the remainder (which happens to be $90,000) split evenly between William and Charles, then Adam will receive 10% of each subaccount, and William and Charles will each receive 45% of each subaccount.

  

	6.2	Consent. 

  

	 	(a)	General. Except for distributions identified in subsection (b), distributions may be made only after the appropriate consent has been obtained under this subsection. Distributions to a Participant or to a
beneficiary (other than a beneficiary of a deceased Alternate Payee) shall be made only with the Participant’s or beneficiary’s consent to the time of distribution. Distributions to an Alternate Payee or his beneficiary shall be made as
specified in the QDRO and in accordance with section 13.9. To be effective, the consent must be filed with the Committee according to the procedures adopted by the Committee, within 180 days before the distribution is to commence. A consent once
given shall be irrevocable after the distribution has been processed. 

  

	 	(b)	Exceptions to General Rule. Consent is not required for the following distributions: 

  

	 	(i)	Corrective distributions under Article III that are returned to the Participant because the contribution is not deductible by the Company or because the contribution would exceed the limits of Code §401(a)(17),
§415(c)(1), §402(g), §401(k)(3), §401(m)(2), §401(m)(9), §414(v)(2)(B)(i), or any other limitation of the Code; 

  

	 	(ii)	Distributions required to comply with Code §401(a)(9); 

  

	 	(iii)	Cashouts of small Accounts, as described in subsection 6.6(d) or paragraphs 6.6(e)(i) or 13.9(f)(ii); 

  

	 	(iv)	Distributions required to comply with Code §401(a)(14); 

  

	 	(v)	Distributions of invalid rollovers pursuant to subsection 3.2(d); 

  

	 	(vi)	Distributions upon Plan termination pursuant to section 10.3; and 

  

	 	(vii)	Distributions that must occur by a deadline specified in the Plan. 

  

					
		 	Page 23 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	6.3	Distributable Amount. 

 The distributable amount of an Account Owner’s Account(s) is
the vested portion of the Account(s) (as determined by Article V) as of the Valuation Date coincident with or next preceding the date distribution is made, reduced by (a) any amount that is payable to an Alternate Payee pursuant to section
13.9, (b) any amount withdrawn since such Valuation Date, and (c) the outstanding balance of any loan under Article VII (except that the outstanding balance of such a loan is included in the distributable amount of any final
distribution(s) under section 6.6). Furthermore, the Committee shall temporarily suspend or limit distributions (by reducing the distributable amount), as explained in subsection 13.9, when the Committee is informed that a Domestic Relations Order
affecting the Participant’s Accounts is or may be in the process of becoming QDRO, while the Committee has suspended withdrawals because it believes that the Plan may have a cause of action against the Participant, or when the Plan has notice
of a lien or other claim against the Participant. 
  

	6.4	Manner of Distribution. 

  

	 	(a)	General. The distributable amount shall be paid in a single payment, except as otherwise provided in the remainder of this section. Distributions shall be in the form of cash except (i) to the extent that an
Account is invested in Company Stock or a fund containing primarily Company Stock, the distributee may elect to receive a distribution of whole shares of Company Stock, while fractional shares of Company Stock shall be converted to and paid in cash,
(ii) in-kind distributions may be elected, to the extent administratively practicable as determined by the processor of distributions, when a rollover is made to an IRA and the custodian or trustee of the IRA is willing to accept an in-kind
contribution, and (iii) a loan may be treated, for purposes of a making a rollover, as distributed to an Account Owner who has an outstanding loan pursuant to Article VII as part of the Account Owner’s final distribution(s).

  

	 	(b)	Partial Withdrawals and Installments. In-service withdrawals are available to Employees as specified in section 6.5. Withdrawals of at least the minimum required amount are available to Participants whose
Required Beginning Date has passed or whose Required Beginning Date will occur later in the Plan Year or in the following Plan Year, as described in subsection 6.6(b); similar withdrawals are available to the Participant’s Alternate Payee, as
described in subsection 13.9(f). Annual installments are available to beneficiaries as described in subsection 6.6(d). 

  

	 	(c)	Grandfather Rules. Installments were a distribution option under the Plan until June 30, 2001. Any Account Owner who could receive a distribution before July 1, 2001 and who elected before July 1,
2001 to receive the distribution in the form of installments shall receive the benefit so elected. An Account Owner who elected installments may elect to accelerate any or all remaining installment payments. 

 

	6.5	In-Service Withdrawals. 

 An Employee may withdraw amounts from his Accounts only as
provided in this section. An Employee may make withdrawals as follows. 
  

	 	(a)	Withdrawals for Employees Age 59 1⁄2 or Older. An Employee who has attained age
59 1⁄2 may at any time thereafter withdraw any portion of his Participant Contributions Account, his Roth Contributions Account, and any vested portion of his
Company Contributions Account. If the Employee is not fully vested in his Company Contributions Account at the time of a withdrawal under this subsection, the rules of subparagraph 5.4(c)(ii)(A) shall be applied when determining the vested portion
of the Company Contributions Account at any time thereafter. 

  

	 	(b)	Rollover Accounts. An Employee may withdraw all or any portion of his Rollover Account and his Roth Rollover Account at any time. 

 

	 	(c)	Participant Contributions Account. An Employee under age 59 1⁄2 may withdraw all or any portion of his Participant
Contributions, provided that the Employee has an immediate and heavy financial need, as defined in paragraph (i), the withdrawal is needed to satisfy the financial need, as explained in paragraph (ii), and the amount of the withdrawal does not
exceed the limits in paragraph (iii). 

  

					
		 	Page 24 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(i)	Financial Need. The following expenses constitute an immediate and heavy financial need: (A) expenses for or necessary to obtain medical care, within the meaning of Code §213(d), (1) that would be
deductible by the Employee under Code §213 (determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed the percentage of adjusted gross income specified in Code §213(a)), or (2) that apply to the Employee’s primary beneficiary (as
determined pursuant to section 6.1); (B) costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence of the Employee (excluding mortgage payments); (C) payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses for up to
the next 12 months of post-secondary education of the Employee, the Employee’s Spouse. the Employee’s children, the Employee’s dependents (within the meaning of Code §152, without regard to Code §152(b)(1), §152(b)(2),
and §152(d)(1)(B)), or the Employee’s primary beneficiary (as determined pursuant to section 6.1); (D) payments necessary to prevent the Employee from being evicted from his or her principal residence; (E) payments necessary to
prevent the mortgage on the Employee’s principal residence from being foreclosed; (F) payment of burial or funeral expenses for the Employee’s deceased parent, Spouse, child, other dependent (within the meaning of Code §152,
without regard to Code §152(b)(1), §152(b)(2), and §152(d)(1)(B)), or primary beneficiary (as determined pursuant to section 6.1); (G) expenses for the repair of damage to the Employee’s principal residence that would
qualify for the casualty deduction under Code §165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income); and (H) any other expense that, under IRS guidance of general applicability, is deemed to be on
account of an immediate and heavy financial need. 

  

	 	(ii)	Satisfaction of Need. The withdrawal is deemed to be needed to satisfy the Employee’s financial need if (A) the Employee has obtained all withdrawals and all non-taxable loans available from the
Company’s and any Affiliated Entities’ plans of deferred compensation, qualified plans, stock options, stock purchase plans, and similar plans, and (B) for a period of at least 6 months from the date the Employee receives the
withdrawal, he ceases to make Participant Contributions and elective contributions to all plans of deferred compensation, qualified plans, stock options, stock purchase plans, and similar plans maintained by the Company or any Affiliated Entity.

  

	 	(iii)	Maximum Withdrawal. An Employee may not withdraw more than the sum of the amount needed to satisfy his financial need and any taxes and penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the withdrawal. An Employee
may not withdraw any amount in excess of his Participant Contributions unless he has attained age 59 1⁄2. 

 

	 	(iv)	Pro Rata Withdrawal. Any hardship distribution under this subsection shall be taken pro rata from the Employee’s Participant Contributions Account and his Roth Contributions Account. 

 

	 	(d)	Compliance with Code §401(a)(9). See paragraph 6.6(b)(ii) for the required distributions to a Five-Percent Owner who is age 70 1⁄2 or older. 

  

	 	(e)	Form of Payment of Withdrawal. Withdrawals under subsection (c) shall be in cash. Withdrawals under subsections (a) and (b) shall be in cash, except that any portion of a Participant’s
Accounts that is invested in Company Stock may, at the election of the Participant made at the time that notice of withdrawal is made to the Committee, be withdrawn in the form of whole shares of Company Stock. 

 

	 	(f)	Withdrawal Rules. An Employee may not withdraw any amount under this section that has been borrowed or that is subject to a QDRO. The Committee shall temporarily suspend or limit withdrawals under this section,
as explained in section 13.9, when the Committee is informed that a QDRO affecting the Employee’s Accounts is in process or may be in process. The Committee shall issue such rules as to the frequency of withdrawals, and withdrawal procedures,
as it deems appropriate. The Committee may postpone the withdrawal until after the next Valuation Date. The Committee may have a special valuation of the Trust Fund performed before a withdrawal is permitted. The Plan may charge a fee for the
withdrawal as well as a fee for having a special valuation performed, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

  

					
		 	Page 25 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(g)	Pro Rata Withdrawals. Except as required by subparagraph (c)(ii)(A), when withdrawals under this section are available from more than one subaccount, the withdrawal will be taken pro rata from each available
subaccount. 

  

	6.6	Time of Distribution. 

  

	 	(a)	Earliest Date of Distribution. Unless an earlier distribution is permitted by section 6.5 (relating to in-service withdrawals), the earliest date that a Participant may elect to receive a distribution is the date
of his Termination of Employment or the date he incurs a Disability. This provision will always result in a distribution date that precedes the latest date of distribution specified in Code §401(a)(14). For purposes of Code §401(a)(14), if
a Participant does not affirmatively elect a distribution, he shall be deemed to have elected to defer the distribution to a later date. 

  

	 	(b)	Latest Date of Distribution. A Participant shall receive annual distributions of at least the minimum amount required to be distributed pursuant to Code §401(a)(9), which shall be calculated by using only
the Participant’s life expectancy, which shall be recalculated each year; the Participant may withdraw any larger amount. A Participant may request that his first minimum required distribution be distributed in the calendar year preceding his
Required Beginning Date; the Committee shall comply with this request if administratively practicable to do so. 

  

	 	(c)	Small Amounts. 

  

	 	(i)	$1000 or Less. If the aggregate value of the nonforfeitable portion of a Participant’s Accounts is $1,000 or less on any date after his Termination of Employment, the Participant shall receive a single
payment of the distributable amount as soon as practicable, provided that the aggregate value is $1,000 or less when the distribution is processed. 

  

	 	(ii)	$1000 to $5000. If paragraph (i) does not apply and the aggregate value of the nonforfeitable portion of a Participant’s Accounts is $5,000 or less on any date after his Termination of Employment, then
as soon as practicable the Plan shall pay the distributable amount to an individual retirement account or annuity within the meaning of Code §408(a) or §408(b) (collectively, an “IRA”) for the Participant, unless the Participant
affirmatively elects to receive the distribution directly or to have it paid in a direct rollover under section 6.7. The Committee shall select the trustee or custodian of the IRA as well as how the IRA shall be invested initially. The Plan shall
notify the Participant (A) that the distribution has been made to an IRA and can be transferred to another IRA, (B) of the identity and contact information of the trustee or custodian of the IRA into which the distribution is made, and
(C) of such other information as required to comply with Code §401(a)(31)(B)(i). 

  

	 	(iii)	Date Account Valued. The Committee may elect to check the value of the Participant’s Accounts on an occasional (rather than a daily) basis, to determine whether to apply the provisions of this subsection.

  

	 	(d)	Distribution Upon Participant’s Death. 

  

	 	(i)	Small Accounts. If the aggregate cash value of the nonforfeitable portion of a Participant’s Accounts is $5,000 or less at any time after the Participant’s death and before any beneficiary elects to
receive a distribution under this subsection, then each beneficiary shall each receive a single payment of his share of the distributable amount as soon as administratively practicable, provided that the aggregate value is $5,000 or less when the
distribution is processed. The Committee may elect to check the value of the Participant’s Accounts on an occasional (rather than a daily) basis, to determine whether to apply the provisions of this paragraph. 

 

	 	(ii)	Larger Accounts. If paragraph (i) does not apply, then each beneficiary may elect to have his distributable amount distributed in a single payment or in annual installments at any time after the
Participant’s death, within the following guidelines. No distribution shall be processed until the beneficiary’s identity as a beneficiary is established. The entire distributable amount shall be distributed by the last day of the calendar
year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. A beneficiary who has elected installments may elect to accelerate any or all remaining payments. If the Participant was a Five-Percent Owner who began to receive the minimum
required distributions under paragraph (b)(ii), the distribution to each beneficiary must be made at least as rapidly as required by the method used to calculate the minimum required distributions that was in effect when the Five-Percent Owner died.

  

					
		 	Page 26 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(e)	Alternate Payee. Distributions to an Alternate Payee shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the QDRO and pursuant to subsection 13.9. 

 

	 	(f)	Pro Rata Withdrawals. Any distribution under this section of less than the Account Owner’s entire Account balance shall be taken pro rata from each of the Account Owner’s subaccounts. 

 

	6.7	Direct Rollover Election. 

  

	 	(a)	General Rule. A Participant, an Alternate Payee who is the Spouse or former Spouse of the Participant, any individual who is treated as a designated beneficiary of the Participant pursuant to Code
§401(a)(9)(E), or any trust to the extent that any beneficiary of the trust is treated as a designated beneficiary of the Participant pursuant to Code §401(a)(9)(E), (collectively, the “distributee”) may direct the Trustee to pay
all or any portion of his “eligible rollover distribution” to an “eligible retirement plan” in a “direct rollover.” This direct rollover option is not available to other Account Owners. Within a reasonable period of
time before an eligible rollover distribution, the Committee shall inform the distributee of this direct rollover option, the appropriate withholding rules, other rollover options, the options regarding income taxation, and any other information
required by Code §402(f). The distributee may waive the usual 30-day waiting period before receiving a distribution, and elect to receive his distribution as soon as administratively practicable after completing and filing his distribution
election. 

  

	 	(b)	Definition of Eligible Rollover Distribution. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution or in-service withdrawal other than (i) distributions required under Code §401(a)(9),
(ii) distributions of amounts that have already been subject to federal income tax (such as defaulted loans or after-tax voluntary contributions), other than a direct transfer to (A) another retirement plan that meets the requirements of
Code §401(a) or §403(a), or (B) an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code §408(a) or §408(b), (iii) installment payments in a series of substantially equal payments made at least annually and
(A) made over a specified period of ten or more years, (B) made for the life or life expectancy of the distributee, or (C) made for the joint life or joint life expectancy of the distributee and his designated beneficiary, (iv) a
distribution to satisfy the limits of Code §415 or §402(g), (v) a deemed distribution of a defaulted loan from this Plan, to the extent provided in the regulations, (vi) a distribution to satisfy the ADP or ACP tests,
(vii) any other actual or deemed distribution specified in IRS guidance of general applicability, or (viii) any hardship withdrawal. 

  

	 	(c)	Definition of Eligible Retirement Plan. 

  

	 	(i)	Participants, Spouses, and Alternate Payees. 

  

	 	(A)	Non-Roth Accounts. This subparagraph applies to all subaccounts other than the Roth Contributions Account and the Roth Rollover Account. For a Participant, an Alternate Payee who is the Spouse or former Spouse of the
Participant, or a surviving Spouse of a deceased Participant, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code §408(a) or §408(b), a Roth IRA, an annuity plan described in Code §403(a), an
annuity contract described in Code §403(b), an eligible plan under Code §457(b) that is maintained by an eligible employer described in Code §457(e)(1)(A) (which generally includes state and local governments), or the qualified trust
of a defined contribution plan described in Code §401(a), that accepts eligible rollover distributions. 

  

	 	(B)	Roth Accounts. This subparagraph applies to the Roth Contributions Account and the Roth Rollover Account. all subaccounts that contain or once contained a designated Roth contribution within the meaning of Code
§402A(c)(1). For a Participant, an Alternate Payee who is the Spouse or former Spouse of the Participant, or a surviving Spouse of a deceased Participant, a Roth IRA, an annuity plan described in Code §403(a), an annuity contract described
in Code §403(b), an eligible plan under Code §457(b) that is maintained by an eligible employer described in Code §457(e)(1)(A) (which generally includes state and local governments), or the qualified trust of a defined contribution
plan described in Code §401(a), but only if such arrangements accept eligible rollover distributions of designated Roth contributions within the meaning of Code §402A(c)(1). 

  

					
		 	Page 27 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(ii)	Other Distributees, Non-Roth Accounts. This paragraph applies to all subaccounts other than the Roth Contributions Account and the Roth Rollover Account. For an individual who is treated as a designated
beneficiary of the Participant pursuant to Code §401(a)(9)(E), and for any trust to the extent that a beneficiary of the trust is treated as a designated beneficiary of the Participant pursuant to Code §401(a)(9)(E), an eligible retirement
plan is an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code §408(a) or §408(b) that is in existence or is established for the purposes of receiving the distribution on behalf of the beneficiary, and that, with respect to the
beneficiary, is treated as an inherited individual retirement account or annuity within the meaning of Code §408(d)(3)(C). The designated beneficiary has two choices for receiving distributions that are to be paid in a direct rollover to such
inherited individual retirement account or annuity. 

  

	 	(A)	The designated beneficiary may elect to receive a single payment or installments from the Plan, pursuant to paragraph 6.6(d)(ii), during the calendar year in which the Participant died or in the following calendar year
(or by such later date allowed pursuant to IRS guidance of general applicability or a private letter ruling obtained by the designated beneficiary). Each annual installment from the Plan must satisfy the requirements of Code §401(a)(9)(B)(iii)
(which essentially means that each annual installment must be equal to at least the account balance standing to the credit of the deceased Plan Participant at the end of the previous year, divided by the designated beneficiary’s life
expectancy). In this case, distributions from the inherited individual retirement account or annuity may be made over the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary. 

 

	 	(B)	If the requirements of subparagraph (A) are not satisfied, the designated beneficiary must receive, pursuant to paragraph 6.6(d)(ii), a full distribution from the Plan by the end of the calendar year containing the
fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. In this case, distributions from the inherited individual retirement account or annuity must generally be completed by the end of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the
Participant’s death. 

  

	 	(iii)	Other Distributees, Roth Accounts. This paragraph applies only to the Roth Contributions Account and the Roth Rollover Account. For an individual who is treated as a designated beneficiary of the Participant
pursuant to Code §401(a)(9)(E), and for any trust to the extent that a beneficiary of the trust is treated as a designated beneficiary of the Participant pursuant to Code §401(a)(9)(E), an eligible retirement plan is a Roth IRA that is in
existence or is established for the purposes of receiving the distribution on behalf of the beneficiary, and that, with respect to the beneficiary, is treated as an inherited individual retirement account or annuity within the meaning of Code
§408(d)(3)(C). The designated beneficiary has two choices for receiving distributions that are to be paid in a direct rollover to such inherited Roth IRA. 

  

	 	(A)	The designated beneficiary may elect to receive a single payment or installments from the Plan, pursuant to paragraph 6.6(d)(ii), during the calendar year in which the Participant died or in the following calendar year
(or by such later date allowed pursuant to IRS guidance of general applicability or a private letter ruling obtained by the designated beneficiary). Each annual installment from the Plan must satisfy the requirements of Code §401(a)(9)(B)(iii)
(which essentially means that each annual installment must be equal to at least the account balance standing to the credit of the deceased Plan Participant at the end of the previous year, divided by the designated beneficiary’s life
expectancy). In this case, distributions from the inherited individual retirement account or annuity may be made over the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary. 

 

	 	(B)	If the requirements of subparagraph (A) are not satisfied, the designated beneficiary must receive, pursuant to paragraph 6.6(d)(ii), a full distribution from the Plan by the end of the calendar year containing the
fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. In this case, distributions from the inherited individual retirement account or annuity must generally be completed by the end of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the
Participant’s death.

	 	(d)	Definition of Direct Rollover. A direct rollover is a payment by the Trustee to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee. 

ARTICLE VII 

Loans 
 The Committee is
authorized, as one of the Plan fiduciaries responsible for investing Plan assets, to establish a loan program. The loan program shall become effective on the date determined by the Committee. The Committee shall administer the Plan’s loan
program in accordance with the following rules. 
  

	7.1	Availability 

 Loans are available only to Employees, Participants who are
parties-in-interest (within the meaning of ERISA §3(14)), and beneficiaries who are parties-in-interest (collectively referred to in this section as “Borrowers”). The Committee shall temporarily reduce the amount a Participant may
borrow or temporarily prevent the Participant from borrowing when, as described in section 13.9, the Committee is informed that a QDRO affecting the Participant’s Accounts is in process or may be in process. Loans shall be temporarily
unavailable to a prospective Borrower while the Committee has suspended loans because the Committee believes that the Plan may have a cause of action against the Participant, as explained in subsection 13.9(h). 

 

	7.2	Number of Loans 

 A Borrower may have no more than one loan outstanding. The Committee
may change the maximum number of outstanding loans allowed at any time. 
  

	7.3	Loan Amount 

 The Committee may establish a minimum loan amount of no more than $500. The
Committee may require loans to be made in increments of no more than $100. The amount that a Borrower may borrow is subject to the following limits. 
  

	 	(a)	A Borrower may not borrow more than the sum of the balances in his Participant Contributions Account, Rollover Contributions Account, Rollover Account, and Roth Rollover Account. 

 

	 	(b)	At the time the loan from this Plan is made, the aggregate outstanding balance of all the Borrower’s loans from all qualified plans maintained by the Company and Affiliated Entities, including the new loan from
this Plan, shall not exceed 50% of the Borrower’s vested interest in all qualified plans maintained by the Company and Affiliated Entities. 

  

	 	(c)	For purposes of this paragraph, the term “one-year maximum” means the largest aggregate outstanding balance, on any day in the one-year period ending on the day before the new loan from this Plan is obtained,
of all loans to the Borrower from all qualified plans maintained by the Company and Affiliated Entities. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “existing loans” means the aggregate outstanding balance, on the day the new loan is made to
the Borrower, of all loans to the Borrower from all qualified plans maintained by the Company and Affiliated Entities, excluding the new loan from this Plan. If the existing loans are greater than or equal to the one-year maximum, then the new loan
from this Plan shall not exceed $50,000 minus the existing loans. If the existing loans are less than the one-year maximum, then the new loan from this Plan shall not exceed $50,000 minus the one-year maximum. 

For purposes of applying the above limits, the vested portion of the Borrower’s accounts under this Plan and all other plans maintained by
the Company and Affiliated Entities shall be determined without regard to any accumulated deductible employee contributions (as defined in Code §72(o)(5)(B)), and without regard to any amounts accrued while the Borrower was ineligible to obtain
a loan (as described in subsection (a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish lesser limits on the amounts that may be borrowed, which limits shall be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. The
Committee shall temporarily reduce the amount a Participant may borrow or temporarily prevent the Participant from borrowing, as described in section 13.9, when the Committee is informed that a QDRO affecting the Participant’s Accounts is in
process or may be in process. No loan shall be made of amounts that are required to be distributed prior to the end of the term of the loan. 

  

					
		 	Page 29 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	7.4	Interest 

 Each loan shall bear a reasonable rate of interest, which shall remain fixed
for the duration of the loan. The Committee or its agent shall determine the reasonable rate of interest on the date the loan documents are prepared. The Committee shall have the authority to establish procedures from time to time for determining
the rate of interest. 
  

	7.5	Repayment. 

 All loans shall be repaid, with interest, in substantially level amortized
payments made not less frequently than quarterly. The maximum term for a loan is four years; the minimum term for a loan is one year. The Committee has the authority to decrease the minimum term for future loans and the authority to increase the
maximum term for future loans to no more than five years. Loan repayments shall be accelerated, and all loans shall be payable in full on the date the Borrower separates from service (if the Borrower is an Employee), the date the Borrower becomes
ineligible to borrow from the Plan under to section 7.1, and on any other date or any other contingency as determined by the Committee. If the Borrower is an Employee, loans shall be repaid through payroll withholding unless (a) the Employee is
pre-paying his loan, in which case the pre-payment need not be through payroll withholding, or (b) the Employee is on an unpaid leave of absence, in which case he may pay any installment by personal check. Partial pre-payments are accepted.

  

	7.6	Default 

 A loan shall be in default if any installment is not paid by the end of the
calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the installment was due. Upon default, the Committee may, in addition to all other remedies, apply the Borrower’s Plan accounts toward payment of the loan; however, the Trustee may not
exercise such right of set-off with respect to the Borrower’s Participant Contributions Account until such account has become payable, pursuant to section 6.5 or 6.6. 
  

	7.7	Administration 

 A Borrower shall apply for a loan by completing the application
procedures specified by the Committee. Until changed by the Committee, a Borrower shall apply for a loan by calling the Trustee and completing a voice application. The loan shall be processed in accordance with reasonable procedures adopted from
time to time by the Committee. The Committee may impose a loan application fee, a loan origination fee, a loan pre-payment fee, and loan maintenance fees. All loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note and shall be fully secured. No Borrower
whose Plan accounts are so pledged may obtain distribution of any portion of the accounts that have been pledged. The rights of the Trustee under such pledge shall have priority over all claims of the Borrower, his beneficiaries, and creditors. Each
loan shall be treated as a directed investment. Any increase or decrease in the net worth of the Trust Fund attributable to such loan shall be allocated solely to the Plan accounts of the Borrower. 

ARTICLE VIII 

Allocation of Responsibilities - Named Fiduciaries 

 

	8.1	No Joint Fiduciary Responsibilities. 

 The Trustee(s) and the Committee shall be the
named fiduciaries under the Plan and Trust agreement and shall be the only named fiduciaries thereunder. The fiduciaries shall have only the responsibilities specifically allocated to them herein or in the Trust agreement. Such allocations are
intended to be mutually exclusive and there shall be no sharing of fiduciary responsibilities. Whenever one named fiduciary is required by the Plan or Trust agreement to follow the directions of another named fiduciary, the two named fiduciaries
shall not be deemed to have been assigned a shared responsibility, but the responsibility of the named fiduciary giving the directions shall be deemed his sole responsibility, and the responsibility of the named fiduciary receiving those directions
shall be to follow them insofar as the instructions are on their face proper under applicable law. 

  

					
		 	Page 30 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	8.2	The Company. 

 The Company shall be responsible for: (a) making Company
Contributions; (b) certifying to the Trustee the names and specimen signatures of the members of the Committee acting from time to time; (c) keeping accurate books and records with respect to its Employees and the appropriate components of
each Employee’s Compensation and furnishing such data to the Committee; (d) selecting agents and fiduciaries to operate and administer the Plan and Trust; (e) appointing an investment manager if it determines that one should be
appointed; and (f) reviewing periodically the performance of such agents, managers, and fiduciaries. 
  

	8.3	The Trustee. 

 The Trustee shall be responsible for: (a) the investment of the Trust
Fund to the extent and in the manner provided in the Trust agreement; (b) the custody and preservation of Trust assets delivered to it; and (c) the payment of such amounts from the Trust Fund as the Committee shall direct. 

 

	8.4	The Committee - Plan Administrator. 

 The board of directors of Apache shall appoint an
administrative Committee consisting of no fewer than three individuals who may be, but need not be, Participants, officers, directors, or Employees of the Company. If the board of directors does not appoint a Committee, Apache shall act as the
Committee under the Plan. The members of the Committee shall hold office at the pleasure of the board of directors and shall service without compensation. The Committee shall be the Plan’s “administrator” as defined in section
3(16)(A) of ERISA. It shall be responsible for establishing and implementing a funding policy consistent with the objectives of the Plan and with the requirements of ERISA. This responsibility shall include establishing (and revising as necessary)
short-term and long-term goals and requirements pertaining to the financial condition of the Plan, communicating such goals and requirements to the persons responsible for the various aspects of the Plan operations, and monitoring periodically the
implementation of such goals and requirements. The Committee shall publish and file or cause to be published and filed or disclosed all reports and disclosures required by federal or state laws. 

 

	8.5	Committee to Construe Plan. 

  

	 	(a)	The Committee shall administer the Plan and shall have all discretion, power, and authority necessary for that purpose, including, but not by way of limitation, the full and absolute discretion and power to interpret
the Plan, to determine the eligibility, status, and rights of all individuals under the Plan, and in general to decide any dispute and all questions arising in connection with the Plan. The Committee shall direct the Trustee concerning all
distributions from the Trust Fund, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and shall have such other powers in the administration of the Trust Fund as may be conferred upon it by the Trust agreement. The Committee shall maintain all Plan
records except records of the Trust Fund. 

  

	 	(b)	The Committee may adjust the Account(s) of any Participant, in order to correct errors and rectify omissions, in such manner as the Committee believes will best result in the equitable and nondiscriminatory
administration of the Plan. 

  

	8.6	Organization of Committee. 

 The Committee shall adopt such rules as it deems desirable
for the conduct of its affairs and for the administration of the Plan. It may appoint agents (who need not be members of the Committee) to whom it may delegate such powers as it deems appropriate, except that any dispute shall be determined by the
Committee. The Committee may make its determinations with or without meetings. It may authorize one or more of its members or agents to sign instructions, notices and determinations on its behalf. If a Committee decision or action affects a
relatively small percentage of Plan Participants including a Committee member, such Committee member shall not participate in the Committee decision or action. The action of a majority of the disinterested Committee members shall constitute the
action of the Committee. 
  

	8.7	Agent for Process. 

 Apache’s Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary shall
be the agents of the Plan for service of all process. 

  

					
		 	Page 31 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	8.8	Indemnification of Committee Members. 

 The Company shall indemnify and hold the members
of the Committee, and each of them, harmless from the effects and consequences of their acts, omissions, and conduct in their official capacities, except to the extent that the effects and consequences thereof shall result from their own willful
misconduct, breach of good faith, or gross negligence in the performance of their duties. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of the rights to which each such member may be entitled as a matter of law. 

 

	8.9	Conclusiveness of Action. 

 Any action taken by the Committee on matters within the
discretion of the Committee shall be conclusive, final and binding upon all participants in the Plan and upon all persons claiming any rights hereunder, including alternate payees and beneficiaries. 

 

	8.10	Payment of Expenses. 

 The members of the Committee shall serve without compensation but
their reasonable expenses shall be paid by the Company. The compensation or fees of accountants, counsel, and other specialists and any other costs of administering the Plan or Trust Fund may be paid by the Company or Account Owners or may be
charged to the Trust Fund, to the extent permissible under ERISA. 
 ARTICLE IX 

Trust Agreement – Investments 
  

	9.1	Trust Agreement. 

 Apache has entered into a Trust agreement to provide for the holding,
investment, and administration of the funds of the Plan. The Trust agreement shall be part of the Plan, and the rights and duties of any individual under the Plan shall be subject to all terms and provisions of the Trust agreement. 

 

	9.2	Plan Expenses. 

  

	 	(a)	General. Except as provided in subsection (b), (i) all taxes upon or in respect of the Plan and Trust shall be paid out of Plan assets, and all expenses of administering the Plan and Trust shall be paid out
of Plan assets, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent such taxes and expenses are not paid by the Company or an Account Owner, and (ii) the Committee shall have full discretion to determine how each tax or expense that is not paid by
the Company shall be paid and the Committee shall have full discretion to determine how each tax or expense that is paid out of Plan assets shall be allocated. No fiduciary shall receive any compensation for services rendered to the Plan if the
fiduciary is being compensated on a full time basis by the Company or an Affiliated Entity. 

  

	 	(b)	Individual Expenses. To the extent not paid by the Company or an Account Owner, all expenses of individually directed transactions, including without limitation the Trustee’s transaction fee, brokerage
commissions, transfer taxes, interest on insurance policy loans, and any taxes and penalties that may be imposed as a result of an individual’s investment direction, shall be assessed against the Account(s) of the Account Owner directing such
transactions. 

  

	9.3	Investments. 

  

	 	(a)	§404(c) Plan. The Plan is intended to be a plan described in ERISA §404(c). To the extent that an Account Owner exercises control over the investment of his Accounts, no person who is a fiduciary shall
be liable for any loss, or by reason of any breach, that is the direct and necessary result of the Account Owner’s exercise of control. 

  

	 	(b)	 Directed Investments. Accounts shall be invested, upon direction of each Account Owner made in a manner acceptable to the Committee, in any one
or more of a series of investment funds designated by the Committee or to the extent permitted by the Committee in a brokerage arrangement. Either (i) one or more such funds shall consist primarily of shares of Company Stock or
(ii) Company Stock shall be a permitted investment option, whether inside a brokerage arrangement or otherwise. If so directed by Account Owners, up to 100% of the Accounts under the Plan may be invested in Company Stock. To the extent that any
Account is invested in Company Stock or in an investment funds consisting primarily of Company Stock, an Account Owner may sell such investment at any time, subject to 

  

					
		 	Page 32 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	
reasonable administrative delays and any blackout periods imposed by the Committee (including blackout periods that apply to particular Participants to ensure compliance with the securities
laws). The funds available for investment and the principal features thereof, including a general description of the investment objectives, the risk and return characteristics, and the type and diversification of the investment portfolio of each
fund, shall be communicated to the Account Owners in the Plan from time to time. Any changes in such funds shall be immediately communicated to all Account Owners. 

 

	 	(c)	Absence of Directions. To the extent that an Account Owner fails to affirmatively direct the investment of his Accounts, the Committee shall direct the Trustee in writing concerning the investment of such
Accounts. The Committee shall act by majority vote. Any dissenting member of the Committee shall, having registered his dissent in writing, thereafter cooperate to the extent necessary to implement the decision of the Committee. 

 

	 	(d)	Change in Investment Directions. Account Owners may change their investment directions, with respect to the investment of new contributions and with respect to the investment of existing amounts allocated to
Accounts, on any business day, subject to any restrictions and limitations imposed by the Trustee, investment funds, or brokerage arrangement. The Committee shall establish procedures for giving investment directions, which shall be in writing and
communicated to Account Owners. 

 ARTICLE X 

Termination and Amendment 
  

	10.1	Termination of Plan or Discontinuance of Contributions. 

 Apache expects to continue the
Plan indefinitely, but the continuance of the Plan and the payment of contributions are not assumed as contractual obligations. Apache may terminate the Plan or discontinue contributions at any time. Upon the termination of the Plan or the complete
discontinuance of contributions, each Participant’s Accounts shall become fully vested. Upon the partial termination of the Plan, the Accounts of all affected Participants shall become fully vested. The only Participants who are affected by a
partial termination are those whose employment with the Company or Affiliated Entity is terminated as a result of the corporate event causing the partial termination; Employees terminated for cause and those who leave voluntarily are not affected by
a partial termination. 
  

	10.2	Allocations upon Termination or Discontinuance of Company Contributions. 

 Upon the
termination or partial termination of the Plan or upon the complete discontinuance of contributions, the Committee shall promptly notify the Trustee of such termination or discontinuance. The Trustee shall then determine, in the manner prescribed in
section 4.2, the net worth of the Trust Fund as of the close of the business day specified by the Committee. The Trustee shall advise the Committee of any increase or decrease in such net worth that has occurred since the preceding Valuation Date.
After crediting to the Participant Contributions Account of each Participant any amount contributed since the preceding Valuation Date, the Committee shall thereupon allocate, in the manner described in section 4.3, among the remaining Plan
Accounts, in the manner described in Articles III, IV and V, any Company Contributions or forfeitures occurring since the preceding Valuation Date. 
  

	10.3	Procedure upon Termination of Plan or Discontinuance of Contributions. 

 If the Plan has
been terminated or partially terminated, or if a complete discontinuance of contributions to the Plan has occurred, then after the allocations required under section 10.2 have been completed, the Trustee shall distribute or transfer the Account(s)
of affected Account Owners as follows. 
  

	 	(a)	No Other Plan. If the Company and Affiliated Entities are not treated, pursuant to the Treasury Regulations under Code §401(k), as maintaining another “alternative defined contribution plan,” the
Trustee shall distribute each Account Owner’s entire Account in a single payment, after complying with the requirements of section 6.7. For purposes of this section only, an “alternative defined contribution plan” means a defined
contribution plan that is not an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Code §4975(e)(7) or §409(a)), a simplified employee pension within the meaning of Code §408(k), a SIMPLE IRA within the meaning of Code §408(p),
a plan or contract that satisfies the requirements of Code §403(b), or a plan described in Code §457(b) or §457(f). 

  

					
		 	Page 33 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(b)	Other Plan Maintained. If the Company and Affiliated Entities are treated, pursuant to the Treasury Regulations under Code §401(k), as maintaining another “alternative defined contribution plan,”
the Trustee shall (i) distribute the Accounts of each non-Participant Account Owner in a single payment, after complying with the requirements of section 6.7, and (ii) transfer the Accounts of each Participant to an alternative defined
contribution plan. All the rights, benefits, features, and distribution restrictions with respect to the transferred amounts shall continue to apply to the transferred amounts unless a change is permitted pursuant to applicable IRS guidance of
general applicability. 

  

	 	(c)	Form of Payment. A transfer made pursuant to this section may be in cash, in kind, or partly in cash and partly in kind. Any distribution made pursuant to this section may be in cash, in shares of Company Stock
to the extent an Account is invested in Company Stock, or partly in cash and partly in shares of Company Stock. After all such distributions or transfers have been made, the Trustee shall be discharged from all obligation under the Trust; no Account
Owner who has received any such distribution, or for whom any such transfer has been made, shall have any further right or claim under the Plan or Trust. 

  

	10.4	Amendment by Apache. 

  

	 	(a)	Amendment. Apache may at any time amend the Plan in any respect, without prior notice, subject to the following limitations. No amendment shall be made that would have the effect of vesting in the Company any
part of the Trust Fund or of diverting any part of the Trust Fund to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Account Owners. The rights of any Account Owner with respect to contributions previously made shall not be adversely affected by
any amendment. No amendment shall reduce or restrict, either directly or indirectly, the accrued benefit (within the meaning of Code §411(d)(6)) provided to any Account Owner before the amendment, except as permitted by the Code or IRS guidance
of general applicability. 

  

	 	(b)	Amendment to Vesting Schedule. If the vesting schedule is amended, and it has the potential to provide slower vesting for one or more Participants, each such Participant with a three-year or longer Period of
Service may elect to have his nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. The period during which the election may be made shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted and shall end on the latest of:
(i) 60 days after the amendment is adopted; (ii) 60 days after the amendment becomes effective; or (iii) 60 days after the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the Company or Committee. Furthermore, no amendment
shall decrease the nonforfeitable percentage, measured as of the later of the date the amendment is adopted or effective, of any Account Owner’s Accounts. 

  

	 	(c)	Procedure. Each amendment shall be in writing. Each amendment shall be approved by Apache’s board of directors or by an officer of Apache who has the authority to amend the Plan. Each amendment shall be
executed by an officer of Apache who has the authority to execute the amendment. 

 ARTICLE XI 

Plan Adoption by Affiliated Entities 
  

	11.1	Adoption of Plan. 

 Apache may permit any Affiliated Entity to adopt the Plan and Trust
for its Employees. Thereafter, such Affiliated Entity shall deliver to the Trustee a certified copy of the resolutions or other documents evidencing its adoption of the Plan and Trust. The Employees of the Affiliated Entity adopting the Plan shall
not be eligible to invest their Accounts in Company Stock until compliance with the applicable registration and reporting requirements of the securities laws. 
  

	11.2	Agent of Affiliated Entity. 

 By becoming a party to the Plan, each Affiliated Entity
appoints Apache as its agent with authority to act for the Affiliated Entity in all transactions in which Apache believes such agency will facilitate the administration of the Plan. Apache shall have the sole authority to amend and terminate the
Plan. 

  

					
		 	Page 34 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	11.3	Disaffiliation and Withdrawal from Plan. 

  

	 	(a)	Disaffiliation. Any Affiliated Entity that has adopted the Plan and thereafter ceases for any reason to be an Affiliated Entity shall forthwith cease to be a party to the Plan. 

 

	 	(b)	Withdrawal. Any Affiliated Entity may, by appropriate action and written notice thereof to Apache, provide for the discontinuance of its participation in the Plan. Such withdrawal from the Plan shall not be
effective until the end of the Plan Year. 

  

	11.4	Effect of Disaffiliation or Withdrawal. 

 If at the time of disaffiliation or withdrawal,
the disaffiliating or withdrawing entity, by appropriate action, adopts a substantially identical plan that provides for direct transfers from this Plan, then, as to Account Owners associated with such entity, no plan termination shall have
occurred; the new plan shall be deemed a continuation of this Plan for such Account Owners. In such case, the Trustee shall transfer to the trustee of the new plan all of the assets held for the benefit of Account Owners associated with the
disaffiliating or withdrawing entity, and no forfeitures or acceleration of vesting shall occur solely by reason of such action. Such payment shall operate as a complete discharge of the Trustee, and of all organizations except the disaffiliating or
withdrawing entity, of all obligations under this Plan to Account Owners associated with the disaffiliating or withdrawing entity. A new plan shall not be deemed substantially identical to this Plan if it provides slower vesting than this Plan.
Nothing in this section shall authorize the divesting of any vested portion of a Participant’s Account(s). 
  

	11.5	Actions upon Disaffiliation or Withdrawal. 

  

	 	(a)	Distribution or Transfer. If an entity disaffiliates from Apache or withdraws from the Plan and the provisions of section 11.4 are not followed, then the following rules apply to the Account(s) of the Account
Owners associated with the disaffiliating or withdrawing entity. The Account Owner’s Accounts shall remain in this Plan until a distribution is processed under the usual rules of Article VI, unless the disaffiliating or withdrawing entity
maintains another qualified plan that accepts direct transfers from this Plan, in which case the Committee may transfer the Account Owner’s Accounts to the disaffiliating or withdrawing entity’s plan without the consent of the Account
Owner. 

  

	 	(b)	Form of Transfer. A transfer made pursuant to this section may be in cash, in kind, or partly in cash and partly in kind. Any distribution made pursuant to this section may be in cash, in shares of Company Stock
to the extent an Account is invested in Company Stock, or partly in cash and partly in shares of Company Stock. After such distribution or transfer has been made, no Account Owner who has received any such distribution, or for whom any such transfer
has been made, shall have any further right or claim under the Plan or Trust. 

 ARTICLE XII 

Top-Heavy Provisions 
  

	12.1	Application of Top-Heavy Provisions. 

 The provisions of this Article XII shall be
applicable only if the Plan becomes “top-heavy” as defined below for any Plan Year. If the Plan becomes “top-heavy” for a Plan Year, the provisions of this Article XII shall apply to the Plan effective as of the first day of such
Plan Year and shall continue to apply to the Plan until the Plan ceases to be “top-heavy” or until the Plan is terminated or otherwise amended. 
  

	12.2	Determination of Top-Heavy Status. 

 The Plan shall be considered “top-heavy”
for a Plan Year if, as of the last day of the prior Plan Year, the aggregate of the Account balances (as calculated according to the regulations under Code §416) of Key Employees under this Plan (and under all other plans required or permitted
to be aggregated with this Plan) exceeds 60% of the aggregate of the Account balances (as calculated according to the regulations under Code §416) in this Plan (and under all other plans required or permitted to be aggregated with this Plan) of
all current Employees and all former Employees who had performed services for Apache or an Affiliated Entity within the one-year period ending on the last day of the prior Plan Year. This ratio shall be referred to as the “top-heavy
ratio”. For purposes of determining the account balance of any Participant, (a) the balance shall be determined as of the last day of the prior Plan Year, (b) the balance shall also include any distributions to

  

					
		 	Page 35 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

 
the Participant during the one-year period ending on the last day of the prior Plan Year, and (c) the balance shall also include, for distributions made for a reason other than severance of
employment or death or disability, any distributions to the Participant during the five-year period ending on the last day of the prior Plan Year. This shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan that, if it had not been terminated,
would have been required to be included in an aggregation group. The Account balances of a Participant who had once been a Key Employee, but who is not a Key Employee during the Plan Year, shall not be taken into account. The following plans must be
aggregated with this Plan for the top-heavy test: (a) a qualified plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Entity in which a Key Employee participated during this Plan Year or during the previous four Plan Years and (b) any other
qualified plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Entity that enables this Plan or any plan described in clause (a) to meet the requirements of Code §401(a)(4) or §410. The following plans may be aggregated with this Plan for
the top-heavy test: any qualified plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Entity that, in combination with the Plan or any plan required to be aggregated with this Plan when testing this Plan for top-heaviness, would satisfy the requirements
of Code §401(a)(4) and §410. If one or more of the plans required or permitted to be aggregated with this Plan is a defined benefit plan, a Participant’s “account balance” shall equal the present value of the
Participant’s accrued benefit. If the aggregation group includes more than one defined benefit plan, the same actuarial assumptions shall be used with respect to each such defined benefit plan. The foregoing top-heavy ratio shall be computed in
accordance with the provisions of Code §416(g), together with the regulations and rulings thereunder. 
  

	12.3	Special Vesting Rule. 

 Unless section 5.1 provides for faster vesting, the amount
credited to the Participant’s Company Contributions Account shall vest in accordance with the following schedule during any top-heavy Plan Year: 
  

					
	 Period of Service
	  	 Vesting Percentage
	 
	 Less than 2 years
	  	 	0	% 
	 At least 2 years, but less than 3 years
	  	 	20	% 
	 At least 3 years, but less than 4 years
	  	 	40	% 
	 At least 4 years, but less than 5 years
	  	 	60	% 
	 At least 5 years, but less than 6 years
	  	 	80	% 
	 6 or more years
	  	 	100	% 

  

	12.4	Special Minimum Contribution. 

 Notwithstanding the provisions of section 3.1, in every
top-heavy Plan Year, a minimum allocation is required for each Non-Key Employee who both (a) performed one or more hours of service as an Employee during the Plan Year as a Covered Employee after satisfying the eligibility requirements of
section 2.1, and (b) was an Employee on the last day of the Plan Year. The minimum allocation shall be a percentage of each Non-Key Employee’s Compensation. The percentage shall be the lesser of 3% or the largest percentage obtained for
any Key Employee by dividing his Annual Additions (to this Plan and any other plan aggregated with this Plan) for the Plan Year by his Compensation for the Plan Year. If the Participant participates in both this Plan and the Apache Corporation Money
Purchase Retirement Plan, then the Participant’s minimum allocation shall be provided in the Apache Corporation Money Purchase Retirement Plan. If this minimum allocation is not otherwise satisfied for any Non-Key Employee, the Company shall
contribute the additional amount needed to satisfy this requirement to such Non-Key Employee’s Company Contributions Account. 
  

	12.5	Change in Top-Heavy Status. 

 If the Plan ceases to be a “top-heavy” plan as
defined in this Article XII, and if any change in the benefit structure, vesting schedule, or other component of a Participant’s accrued benefit occurs as a result of such change in top-heavy status, the nonforfeitable portion of each
Participant’s benefit attributable to Company Contributions shall not be decreased as a result of such change. In addition, each Participant with at least a three-year Period of Service on the date of such change, may elect to have the
nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such change in status. The period during which the election may be made shall commence on the date the Plan ceases to be a top-heavy plan and shall end on the later of (a) 60
days after the change in status occurs, (b) 60 days after the change in status becomes effective, or (c) 60 days after the Participant is issued written notice of the change by the Company or the Committee.

 ARTICLE XIII 

Miscellaneous 
  

	13.1	Right to Dismiss Employees - No Employment Contract. 

 The Company and Affiliated
Entities may terminate the employment of any employee as freely and with the same effect as if this Plan were not in existence. Participation in this Plan by an employee shall not constitute an express or implied contract of employment between the
Company or an Affiliated Entity and the employee. 
  

	13.2	Claims Procedure. 

  

	 	(a)	General. Each claim for benefits shall be processed in accordance with the procedures that are established by the Committee. The procedures shall comply with the guidelines specified in this section. The
Committee may delegate its duties under this section. 

  

	 	(b)	Representatives. A claimant may appoint a representative to act on his behalf. The Plan shall only recognize a representative if the Plan has received a written authorization signed by the claimant and on a form
prescribed by the Committee, with the following exceptions. The Plan shall recognize a claimant’s legal representative, once the Plan is provided with documentation of such representation. If the claimant is a minor child, the Plan shall
recognize the claimant’s parent or guardian as the claimant’s representative. Once an authorized representative is appointed, the Plan shall direct all information and notification regarding the claim to the authorized representative and
the claimant shall not be copied on any notifications regarding decisions, unless the claimant provides specific written direction otherwise. 

  

	 	(c)	Extension of Deadlines. The claimant may agree to an extension of any deadline that is mentioned in this section that applies to the Plan. The Committee or the relevant decision-maker may agree to an extension of
any deadline that is mentioned in this section that applies to the claimant. 

  

	 	(d)	Fees. The Plan may not charge any fees to a claimant for utilizing the claims process described in this section. 

  

	 	(e)	Filing a Claim. A claim is made when the claimant files a claim in accordance with the procedures specified by the Committee. Any communication regarding benefits that is not made in accordance with the
Plan’s procedures will not be treated as a claim. 

  

	 	(f)	Initial Claims Decision. The Plan shall decide a claim within a reasonable time up to 90 days after receiving the claim. The Plan shall have a 90-day extension, but only if the Plan is unable to decide within 90
days for reasons beyond its control, the Plan notifies the claimant of the special circumstances requiring the need for the extension by the 90th day after receiving the claim, and the Plan notifies the claimant of the date by which the Plan expects
to make a decision. 

  

	 	(g)	Notification of Initial Decision. The Plan shall provide the claimant with written notification of the Plan’s full or partial denial of a claim, reduction of a previously approved benefit, or termination of
a benefit. The notification shall include a statement of the reason(s) for the decision; references to the plan provision(s) on which the decision was based; a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim and
why such information is needed; a description of the procedures and deadlines for appeal; a description of the right to obtain information about the appeal procedures; and a statement of the claimant’s right to sue. 

 

	 	(h)	Appeal. The claimant may appeal any adverse or partially adverse decision. To appeal, the claimant must follow the procedures specified by the Committee. The appeal must be filed within 60 days of the date the
claimant received notice of the initial decision. If the appeal is not timely and properly filed, the initial decision shall be the final decision of the Plan. The claimant may submit documents, written comments, and other information in support of
the appeal. The claimant shall be given reasonable access at no charge to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other relevant information. 

  

	 	(i)	 Appellate Decision. The Plan shall decide the appeal of a claim within a reasonable time of no more than 60 days from the date the Plan
receives the claimant’s appeal. The 60-day deadline shall be 

  

					
		 	Page 37 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

 
extended by an additional 60 days, but only if the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension, the Plan notifies the claimant of the special circumstances requiring the
need for the extension by the 60th day after receiving the appeal, and the Plan notifies the claimant of the date by which the Plan expects to make a decision. If an appeal is missing any information from the claimant that is needed to decide the
appeal, the Plan shall notify the claimant of the missing information and grant the claimant a reasonable period to provide the missing information. If the missing information is not timely provided, the Plan shall deny the claim. If the missing
information is timely provided, the 60-day deadline (or 120-day deadline with the extension) for the Plan to make its decision shall be increased by the length of time between the date the Plan requested the missing information and the date the Plan
received it. 
  

	 	(j)	Notification of Decision. The Plan shall provide the claimant with written notification of the Plan’s appellate decision (positive or adverse). The notification of any adverse or partially adverse decision
shall include a statement of the reason(s) for the decision; reference to the plan provision(s) on which the decision was based; a statement of the claimant’s right to sue; and a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, free of
charge and upon request, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim. 

  

	 	(k)	Limitations on Bringing Actions in Court. Once an appellate decision that is adverse or partially adverse to the claimant has been made, the claimant may file suit in court only if he does so by the earlier of
the following dates: (i) the one-year anniversary of the date of the appellate decision, or (ii) the date on which the statute of limitations for such claim expires. 

 

	 	(l)	Discretionary Authority. The Committee shall have total discretionary authority to determine eligibility, status, and the rights of all individuals under the Plan and to construe any and all terms of the Plan.

  

	13.3	Source of Benefits. 

 All benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid solely from the
Trust Fund, and the Company and Affiliated Entities assume no liability or responsibility therefor. 
  

	13.4	Exclusive Benefit of Employees. 

 It is the intention of the Company that no part of the
Trust, other than as provided in sections 3.3, 9.2, and 13.9 and Article VII hereof and the Trust Agreement, ever to be used for or diverted for purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants, Alternate Payees, and their
beneficiaries, and that this Plan shall be construed to follow the spirit and intent of the Code and ERISA. 
  

	13.5	Forms of Notices. 

 Wherever provision is made in the Plan for the filing of any notice,
election, or designation by a Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee, or beneficiary, the action of such individual may be evidenced by the execution of such form as the Committee may prescribe for the purpose. The Committee may also prescribe
alternate methods for filing any notice, election, or designation (such as telephone voice-response or e-mail). 
  

	13.6	Failure of Any Other Entity to Qualify. 

 If any entity adopts this Plan but fails to
obtain or retain the qualification of the Plan under the applicable provisions of the Code, such entity shall withdraw from this Plan upon a determination by the Internal Revenue Service that it has failed to obtain or retain such qualification.
Within 30 days after the date of such determination, the assets of the Trust Fund held for the benefit of the Employees of such entity shall be separately accounted for and disposed of in accordance with the Plan and Trust. 

 

	13.7	Notice of Adoption of the Plan. 

 The Company shall provide each of its Employees with
notice of the adoption of this Plan, notice of any amendments to the Plan, and notice of the salient provisions of the Plan prior to the end of the first Plan Year. A complete copy of the Plan shall also be made available for inspection by Employees
or any other individual with an Account balance under the Plan. 

  

					
		 	Page 38 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	13.8	Plan Merger. 

 If this Plan is merged or consolidated with, or its assets or liabilities
are transferred to, any other qualified plan of deferred compensation, each Participant shall be entitled to receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer that is equal to or greater than the benefit the Participant
would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer if this Plan had then been terminated. 
  

	13.9	Inalienability of Benefits - Domestic Relations Orders. 

  

	 	(a)	General. Except as provided in section 7.2, relating to Plan loans, subsection 6.1(d) relating to disclaimers, and subsections (b), (g), and (h) below, no Account Owner shall have any right to assign,
alienate, transfer, or encumber his interest in any benefits under this Plan, nor shall such benefits be subject to any legal process to levy upon or attach the same for payment of any claim against any such Account Owner. 

 

	 	(b)	QDRO Exception. Subsection (a) shall apply to the creation, assignment, or recognition of a right to any benefit payable with respect to a Participant pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order unless such
Domestic Relations Order is a QDRO, in which case the Plan shall make payment of benefits in accordance with the applicable requirements of any such QDRO. 

  

	 	(c)	QDRO Requirements. In order to be a QDRO, the Domestic Relations Order must satisfy the requirements of Code §414(p) and ERISA §206(d)(3). In particular, the Domestic Relations Order: (i) must
specify the name and the last known mailing address of the Participant; (ii) must specify the name and mailing address of each Alternate Payee covered by the order; (iii) must specify either the amount or percentage of the
Participant’s benefits to be paid by the Plan to each such Alternate Payee, or the manner in which such amount or percentage is to be determined; (iv) must specify the number of payments or period to which such order applies; (v) must
specify each plan to which such order applies; (vi) may not require the Plan to provide any type or form of benefit, or any option, not otherwise provided under the Plan, subject to the provisions of subsection (f); (vii) may not require
the Plan to provide increased benefits (determined on the basis of actuarial value); and (viii) may not require the payment of benefits to an Alternate Payee if such benefits have already been designated to be paid to another Alternate Payee
under another order previously determined to be a QDRO. 

  

	 	(d)	QDRO Payment Rules. In the case of any payment before an Employee has separated from service, a Domestic Relations Order shall not be treated as failing to meet the requirements of subsection (c) solely
because such order requires that payment of benefits be made to an Alternate Payee (i) on or after the dates specified in subsection (f), (ii) as if the Employee had retired on the date on which such payment is to begin under such order
(but taking into account only the Account balance on such date), and (iii) in any form in which such benefits may be paid under the Plan to the Employee. For purposes of this subsection, the Account balance as of the date specified in the QDRO
shall be the vested portion of the Employee’s Account(s) on such date. 

  

	 	(e)	 QDRO Review Procedures and Suspension of Benefits. The Committee shall establish reasonable procedures to determine the qualified status of
Domestic Relations Orders and to administer distributions under QDROs. Such procedures shall be in writing and shall permit an Alternate Payee to designate a representative to receive copies of notices. The Committee may temporarily prevent the
Participant from borrowing from his Accounts and shall temporarily suspend distributions and withdrawals from the Participant’s Accounts, except to the extent necessary to make the required minimum distributions under Code §401(a)(9), when
the Committee receives a Domestic Relations Order or a draft of such an order that affects the Participant’s Accounts or when one or the following individuals informs the Committee, orally or in writing, that a QDRO is in process or may be in
process: the Participant, a prospective Alternate Payee, or counsel for the Participant or a prospective Alternate Payee. The Committee shall promulgate reasonable and non-discriminatory rules regarding such suspensions, including but not limited to
how long such suspensions remain in effect. The procedures may allow the Participant to borrow such amounts from the Plan, subject to the limits of Article VII, and the Participant to receive such distributions and withdrawals from the Plan, subject
to the rules of Articles VI and VII, as are consented to in writing by all prospective Alternate Payees identified in the Domestic Relations Order or, in the absence of a Domestic Relations Order, as are

  

					
		 	Page 39 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	
consented to in writing by the prospective Alternate Payee(s) who informed the Committee that a QDRO was in process or may be in process. When the Committee receives a Domestic Relations Order it
shall promptly notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of such receipt and provide them with copies of the Plan’s procedures for determining the qualified status of the order. Within a reasonable period after receipt of a Domestic
Relations Order, the Committee shall determine whether such order is a QDRO and notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of such determination. During any period in which the issue of whether a Domestic Relations Order is a QDRO is being
determined (by the Committee, by a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise), the Committee shall separately account for the amounts payable to the Alternate Payee if the order is determined to be a QDRO. If the order (or modification thereof)
is determined to be a QDRO within 18 months after the date the first payment would have been required by such order, the Committee shall pay the amounts separately accounted for (plus any interest thereon) to the individual(s) entitled thereto.
However, if the Committee determines that the order is not a QDRO, or if the issue as to whether such order is a QDRO has not been resolved within 18 months after the date of the first payment would have been required by such order, then the
Committee shall pay the amounts separately accounted for (plus any interest thereon) to the individual(s) who would have been entitled to such amounts if there had been no order. Any determination that an order is a QDRO that is made after the close
of the 18-month period shall be applied prospectively only. If the Plan’s fiduciaries act in accordance with fiduciary provision of ERISA in treating a Domestic Relations Order as being (or not being) a QDRO or in taking action in accordance
with this subsection, then the Plan’s obligation to the Participant and each Alternate Payee shall be discharged to the extent of any payment made pursuant to the acts of such fiduciaries. 

 

	 	(f)	Rights of Alternate Payee. The Alternate Payee shall have the following rights under the Plan: 

  

	 	(i)	Single Payment. The only form of payment available to an Alternate Payee is a single payment of the distributable amount (measured at the time the payment is processed), except for the minimum required
distributions under paragraph (ii) and except that partial withdrawals are available to the Alternate Payee between the date the Participant attains age
59 1⁄2 and the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. If the Alternate Payee is awarded more than the distributable amount, the Alternate Payee shall
initially be eligible to receive a distribution of the distributable amount, with additional amounts becoming eligible for distribution when more of the amount awarded to the Alternate Payee becomes distributable. 

 

	 	(ii)	Timing of Distribution. Subject to the limits imposed by this paragraph, the Alternate Payee may choose (or the QDRO may specify) the date of the distribution. If the value of the nonforfeitable portion of an
Alternate Payee’s Account is $5,000 or less, the Alternate Payee shall receive a single payment of the distributable amount as soon as practicable (without the Alternate Payee’s consent), provided that the value is $5,000 or less when the
distribution is processed. Otherwise, the distribution to the Alternate Payee may occur at any time after the Committee determines that the Domestic Relations Order is a QDRO and before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date (unless the
order is determined to be a QDRO after the Participant’s Required Beginning Date, in which case the first minimum required distribution to the Alternate Payee shall be made by the deadline for making such distributions under Code
§401(a)(9), which will usually be the end of the year in which the order was determined to be a QDRO). An Alternate Payee shall receive annual distributions of at least the minimum amount required to be distributed pursuant to Code
§401(a)(9), which shall be calculated by using only the Participant’s life expectancy, which shall be recalculated each year; the Alternate Payee may withdraw any larger amount. The Alternate Payee may request that his first minimum
required distribution be distributed in the calendar year preceding the Participant’s Required Beginning Date; the Plan shall comply with this request if administratively practicable to do so. 

 

	 	(iii)	Death of Alternate Payee. The Alternate Payee may designate one or more beneficiaries, as specified in section 6.1. When the Alternate Payee dies, the Alternate Payee’s beneficiary shall receive a complete
distribution of the distributable amount in a single payment as soon as administratively convenient. 

  

	 	(iv)	Investing. An Alternate Payee may direct the investment of his Account pursuant to section 9.3. 

  

					
		 	Page 40 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(v)	Claims. The Alternate Payee may bring claims against the Plan pursuant to section 13.2. 

  

	 	(vi)	Roth Contributions and Rollovers. The amount awarded to the Alternate Payee shall contain a pro rate share (determined as of the date specified in the QDRO or, if the QDRO is silent, determined as of the date of
the divorce or annulment) of the Participant’s designated Roth contributions within the meaning of Code §402A(c)(1). 

  

	 	(g)	Exception for Misconduct towards the Plan. Subsection (a) shall not apply to any offset of a Participant’s benefits against an amount that the Participant is ordered or required to pay to the Plan if
the following conditions are met. 

  

	 	(i)	The order or requirement to pay must arise (A) under a judgment of conviction for a crime involving the Plan, (B) under a civil judgment (including a consent order or decree) entered by a court in an action
brought in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of part 4 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA, or (iii) pursuant to a settlement agreement between the Secretary of Labor and the Participant, or a settlement agreement between the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and the Participant, in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of part 4 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA by a fiduciary or any other person. 

 

	 	(ii)	The judgment, order, decree, or settlement agreement must expressly provide for the offset of all or part of the amount ordered or required to be paid to the Plan against the Participant’s benefits provided under
the Plan. 

  

	 	(iii)	To the extent that the survivor annuity requirements of Code §401(a)(11) apply with respect to distributions from the Plan to the Participant, if the Participant is married at the time at which the offset is to be
made, (A) either the Participant’s Spouse must have already waived his right to a qualified preretirement survivor annuity and a qualified joint and survivor annuity or the Participant’s Spouse must consent in writing to such offset
with such consent witnessed by a notary public or representative of the Plan (or it is established to the satisfaction of a Plan representative that such consent may not be obtained by reason of circumstances described in Code §417(a)(2)(B)),
or (B) the Participant’s Spouse is ordered or required in such judgment, order, decree, or settlement to pay an amount to the Plan in connection with a violation of part 4 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA, or (C) in such judgment,
order, decree, or settlement, the Participant’s Spouse retains the right to receive a survivor annuity under a qualified joint and survivor annuity pursuant to Code §401(a)(11)(A)(i) and under a qualified preretirement survivor annuity
provided pursuant to Code §401(a)(11)(A)(ii). The value of the Spouse’s survivor annuity in subparagraph (C) shall be determined as if the Participant terminated employment on the date of the offset, there was no offset, the Plan
permitted commencement of benefits only on or after Normal Retirement Age, the Plan provided only the “minimum-required qualified joint and survivor annuity,” and the amount of the qualified preretirement survivor annuity under the Plan is
equal to the amount of the survivor annuity payable under the “minimum-required qualified joint and survivor annuity.” For purposes of this paragraph only, the “minimum-required qualified joint and survivor annuity” is the
qualified joint and survivor annuity which is the actuarial equivalent of the Participant’s accrued benefit (within the meaning of Code §411(a)(7)) and under which the survivor annuity is 50% of the amount of the annuity which is payable
during the joint lives of the Participant and his Spouse. 

 The Committee shall temporarily prevent the Account Owner from
borrowing from his Accounts and shall temporarily suspend distributions and withdrawals from his Accounts, except to the extent necessary to make the required minimum distributions under Code §401(a)(9), when the Committee has reason to believe
that the Plan may be entitled to an offset of the Participant’s benefits described in this subsection. The Committee shall promulgate reasonable and non-discriminatory rules regarding such suspensions, including but not limited to how long such
suspensions remain in effect 
  

	 	(h)	 Exception for Federal Liens. Subsection (a) shall not apply to the enforcement of a federal tax levy made pursuant to Code §6331, the
collection by the United States on a judgment resulting from an unpaid tax assessment, or any debt or obligation that is permitted to be collected from the Plan under federal law (such as the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act of 1977). The
Committee may temporarily suspend distributions and withdrawals from an Account, except to the extent necessary to 

  

					
		 	Page 41 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	
make the required minimum distributions under Code §401(a)(9), when the Committee has reason to believe that such a federal tax levy or other obligation has or will be received. The
Committee shall promulgate reasonable and non-discriminatory rules regarding such suspensions, including but not limited to how long such suspensions remain in effect. 

 

	13.10	Payments due Minors or Incapacitated Individuals. 

 If any individual entitled to payment
under the Plan is a minor, the Committee shall cause the payment to be made to the custodian or representative who, under the state law of the minor’s domicile, is authorized to receive funds on behalf of the minor. If any individual entitled
to payment under this Plan has been legally adjudicated to be mentally incompetent or incapacitated, the Committee shall cause the payment to be made to the custodian or representative who, under the state law of the incapacitated individual’s
domicile, is authorized to receive funds on behalf of the incapacitated individual. Payments made pursuant to such power shall operate as a complete discharge of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, and the Committee. 

 

	13.11	Uniformity of Application. 

 The provisions of this Plan shall be applied in a uniform
and non-discriminatory manner in accordance with rules adopted by the Committee, which rules shall be systematically followed and consistently applied so that all individuals similarly situated shall be treated alike. 

 

	13.12	Disposition of Unclaimed Payments. 

 Each Participant, Alternate Payee, or beneficiary
with an Account balance in this Plan must file with the Committee from time to time in writing his address, the address of each beneficiary (if applicable), and each change of address. Any communication, statement, or notice addressed to such
individual at the last address filed with the Committee (or if no address is filed with the Committee then at the last address as shown on the Company’s records) will be binding on such individual for all purposes of the Plan. Neither the
Committee nor the Trustee shall be required to search for or locate any missing individual. If the Committee notifies an individual that he is entitled to a distribution and also notifies him that a failure to respond may result in a forfeiture of
benefits, and the individual fails to claim his benefits under the Plan or make his address known to the Committee within a reasonable period of time after the notification, then the benefits under the Plan of such individual shall be forfeited. Any
amount forfeited pursuant to this section shall be allocated pursuant to subsection 5.4(d). If the individual should later make a claim for this forfeited amount, the Company shall, if the Plan is still in existence, make a special contribution to
the Plan equal to the forfeiture, and such amount shall be distributed to the individual; if the Plan is not then in existence, the Company shall pay the amount of the forfeiture to the individual. 

 

	13.13	Applicable Law. 

 This Plan shall be construed and regulated by ERISA, the Code, and,
unless otherwise specified herein and to the extent applicable, the laws of the State of Texas excluding any conflicts-of-law provisions. 

ARTICLE XIV 
 Matters
Affecting Company Stock 
  

	14.1	Voting, Etc. 

 The shares of Company Stock in Accounts, whether or not vested, may be
voted by the Account Owner to the same extent as if duly registered in the Account Owner’s name. The Trustee or its nominee in which the shares are registered shall vote the shares solely as agent of the Account Owner and in accordance with the
instructions of the Account Owner. If no instructions are received, the Trustee shall vote the shares of Company Stock for which it has received no voting instructions in the same proportions as the Account Owners affirmatively directed their shares
of Company Stock to be voted unless the Trustee determines that a pro rata vote would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under ERISA. If the Trustee makes such a determination, the Trustee shall vote the Company Stock as it determines to be
consistent with its fiduciary duties under ERISA. Each Account Owner who has Company Stock allocated to his Accounts shall direct the Trustee concerning the tender (as provided below) and the exercise of any other rights appurtenant to the Company
Stock. The Trustee shall follow the directions of the Account Owner with respect to the tender. 

  

					
		 	Page 42 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	14.2	Notices. 

 Apache shall cause to be mailed or delivered to each Account Owner copies of
all notices and other communications sent to the Apache shareholders at the same times so mailed or delivered by Apache to its other shareholders. 
  

	14.3	Retention/Sale of Company Stock and Other Securities. 

 The Trustee is authorized and
directed to retain the Company Stock and any other Apache securities acquired by the Trust except as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	In the normal course of Plan administration, the Trustee shall sell Company Stock to satisfy Plan administration and distribution requirements as directed by the Committee or in accordance with provisions of the Plan
specifically authorizing such sales. 

  

	 	(b)	In the event of a transaction involving the Company Stock evidenced by the filing of Schedule 14D-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any other similar transaction by which any person or
entity seeks to acquire beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the shares of Company Stock outstanding and authorized to be issued from time to time under Apache’s articles of incorporation (“tender offer”), the Trustee shall sell,
convey, or transfer Company Stock pursuant to written instructions of Account Owners delivered to the Trustee in accordance with the following sections 14.4 through 14.15. For purposes of such provisions, the term “filing date” means the
date relevant documents concerning a tender offer are filed with the SEC or, if such filing is not required, the date the Trustee receives actual notice that a tender offer has commenced. 

 

	 	(c)	If Apache makes any distribution of Apache securities with respect to the shares of Company Stock held in the Plan, other than additional shares of Company Stock (any such securities are hereafter referred to as
“stock rights”), the Trustee shall sell, convey, transfer, or exercise such stock rights pursuant to written instructions of Account Owners delivered to the Trustee in accordance with the following sections of this Article.

  

	14.4	Tender Offers. 

  

	 	(a)	Allocated Stock. In the event of any tender offer, each Account Owner shall have the right to instruct the Trustee to tender any or all shares of Company Stock, whether or not vested, that are allocated to his
Accounts under the Plan on or before the filing date. The Trustee shall follow the instructions of the Account Owner. The Trustee shall not tender any Company Stock for which no instructions are received. 

 

	 	(b)	Unallocated Stock. The Trustee shall tender all shares of Company Stock that are not allocated to Accounts in the same proportion as the Account Owners directed the tender of Company Stock allocated to their
Accounts unless the Trustee determines that a pro rata tender would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under ERISA. If the Trustee makes such a determination, the Trustee shall tender or not tender the unallocated Company Stock as it
determines to be consistent with its fiduciary duties under ERISA. 

  

	 	(c)	Suspension of Share Purchases. In the event of a tender offer, the Trustee shall suspend all purchases of Company Stock pursuant to the Plan unless the Committee otherwise directs. Until the termination of such
tender offer and pending such Committee direction, the Trustee shall invest available cash pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. 

 

	 	(d)	Temporary Suspension of Certain Cash Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no option to receive cash in lieu of Company Stock shall be honored during the pendency of a tender offer
unless the Committee otherwise directs. 

  

	14.5	Stock Rights. 

  

	 	(a)	General. If Apache makes a distribution of stock rights with respect to the Company Stock held in the Plan and if the stock rights become exercisable or transferable (the date on which the stock rights become
exercisable or transferable shall be referred to as the “exercise date”), each Account Owner shall determine whether to exercise the stock rights, sell the stock rights, or hold the stock rights allocated to his Accounts. The provisions of
this section shall apply to all stock rights received with respect to Company Stock held in Accounts, whether or not the Company Stock with respect to which the stock rights were issued are vested. 

  

					
		 	Page 43 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(b)	Independent Fiduciary. The Independent Fiduciary provided for in this section 14.15 below shall act with respect to the stock rights. All Account Owner directions concerning the exercise or disposition of the
stock rights shall be given to the Independent Fiduciary, who shall have the sole responsibility of assuring that the Account Owners’ directions are followed. 

 

	 	(c)	Exercise of Stock Rights. If, on or after the exercise date, an Account Owner wishes to exercise all or a portion of the stock rights allocated to his Accounts, the Independent Fiduciary shall follow the Account
Owner’s direction to the extent that there is cash or other liquid assets available in his Accounts to exercise the stock rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, each Account Owner who has stock rights allocated to his Accounts
shall have a period of five business days following the exercise date in which he may give instructions to the Committee to liquidate any of the assets held in his Accounts (except shares of Company Stock or assets such as guaranteed investment
contracts or similar investments), but only if he does not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets in his Accounts to exercise the stock rights. The liquidation of any necessary investments pursuant to an Account Owner’s direction shall be
accomplished as soon as reasonably practicable, taking into account any timing restrictions with respect to the investment funds involved. The cash obtained shall be used to exercise the stock rights, as the Account Owner directs. Any cash that is
not so used shall be invested in a cash equivalent until the next date on which the Account Owner may change his investment directions under the Plan. 

  

	 	(d)	Sale of Stock Rights. On and after the exercise date, the Independent Fiduciary shall sell all or a portion of the stock rights allocated to Accounts, as the Account Owner shall direct. 

 

	14.6	Other Rights Appurtenant to the Company Stock. 

 If there are any rights appurtenant to
the Company Stock, other than voting, tender, or stock rights, each Account Owner shall exercise or take other appropriate action concerning such rights with respect to the Company Stock, whether or not vested, that is allocated to their Accounts in
the same manner as the other holders of the Company Stock, by giving written instructions to the Trustee. The Trustee shall follow all such instructions, but shall take no action with respect to allocated Company Stock for which no instructions are
received. The Trustee shall exercise or take other appropriate action concerning any such rights appurtenant to unallocated Company Stock. 
  

	14.7	Information to Trustee. 

 Promptly after the filing date, the exercise date, or any other
event that requires action with respect to the Company Stock, the Committee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Independent Fiduciary, as appropriate, a list of the names and addresses of Account Owners showing (i) the
number of shares of Company Stock allocated to each Account Owner’s Accounts under the Plan, (ii) each Account Owner’s pro rata portion of any unallocated Company Stock, and (iii) each Account Owner’s share of any stock
rights distributed by Apache. The Committee shall date and certify the accuracy of such information, and such information shall be updated periodically by the Committee to reflect changes in the shares of Company Stock and other assets allocated to
Accounts. 
  

	14.8	Information to Account Owners. 

 The Trustee or the Independent Fiduciary, as
appropriate, shall distribute and/or make available to each affected Account Owner the following materials: 
  

	 	(a)	A copy of the description of the terms and conditions of any tender offer filed with the SEC on Schedule 14D-1, or any similar materials if such filing is not required, any material distributed to shareholders generally
with respect to the stock rights, and any proxy statements and any other material distributed to shareholders generally with respect to any action to be taken with respect to the Company Stock. 

 

	 	(b)	If requested by Apache, a statement from Apache’s management setting forth its position with respect to a tender offer that is filed with the SEC on Schedule 14D-9 and/or a communication from Apache given pursuant
to 17 C.F.R. 240.14d-9(e), or any similar materials if such filing or communications are not required. 

  

					
		 	Page 44 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(c)	An instruction form prepared by Apache and approved by the Trustee or the Independent Fiduciary, to be used by an Account Owner who wishes to instruct the Trustee to tender Company Stock in response to the tender offer,
to instruct the Independent Fiduciary to sell or exercise stock rights, or to instruct the Trustee or Independent Fiduciary with respect to any other action to be taken with respect to the Company Stock. The instruction form shall state that
(i) if the Account Owner fails to return an instruction form to the Trustee by the indicated deadline, the Trustee will not tender any shares of Company Stock the Account Owner is otherwise entitled to tender, (ii) the Independent
Fiduciary will not sell or exercise any right allocated to the Account except upon the written direction of the Account Owner, (iii) the Trustee or Independent Fiduciary will not take any other action that the Account Owner could have directed,
and (iv) Apache acknowledges and agrees to honor the confidentiality of the Account Owner’s directions to the Trustee. 

  

	 	(d)	Such additional material or information as the Trustee or the Independent Fiduciary may consider necessary to assist the Account Owner in making an informed decision and in completing or delivering the instruction form
(and any amendments thereto) to the Trustee or the Fiduciary on a timely basis. 

  

	14.9	Expenses. 

 The Trustee and the Independent Fiduciary shall have the right to require
payment in advance by Apache and the party making the tender offer of all reasonably anticipated expenses of the Trustee and the Independent Fiduciary, respectively, in connection with the distribution of information to and the processing of
instructions received from Account Owners. 
  

	14.10	Former Account Owners. 

 Apache shall furnish former Account Owners who have received
distributions of Company Stock so recently as to not be shareholders of record with the information furnished pursuant to section 14.8. The Trustee and the Independent Fiduciary are hereby authorized to take action with respect to the Company Stock
distributed to such former Account Owners in accordance with appropriate instructions from them. If the Trustee does not receive appropriate instructions, it shall take no action with respect to the distributed Company Stock. 

 

	14.11	No Recommendations. 

 Neither the Committee, the Committee Fiduciary, the Trustee, nor
the Independent Fiduciary shall express any opinion or give any advice or recommendation to any Account Owner concerning voting the Company Stock, any tender offer, stock rights, or the exercise of any other rights appurtenant to the Company Stock,
nor shall they have any authority or responsibility to do so. Neither the Trustee nor the Independent Fiduciary has any duty to monitor or police the party making a tender offer or Apache in promoting or resisting a tender offer; provided, however,
that if the Trustee or the Independent Fiduciary becomes aware of activity that on its face reasonably appears to the Trustee or Independent Fiduciary to be materially false, misleading, or coercive, the Trustee or the Independent Fiduciary, as the
case may be, shall promptly demand that the offending party take appropriate corrective action. If the offending party fails or refuses to take appropriate corrective action, the Trustee or the Independent Fiduciary, as the case may be, shall
communicate with affected Account Owners in such manner as it deems advisable. 
  

	14.12	Trustee to Follow Instructions. 

  

	 	(a)	So long as the Trustee and the Independent Fiduciary, as the case may be, have determined that the Plan is in compliance with ERISA §404(c), the Trustee or the Independent Fiduciary shall tender, deal with stock
rights, and act with respect to any other rights appurtenant to the Company Stock, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the particular transaction or event, and in accordance with instructions received from Account Owners. Except for voting, the
Trustee or the Independent Fiduciary shall take no action with respect to Company Stock, stock rights, or other appurtenant rights for which no instructions are received, and such Company Stock, stock rights, or other appurtenant rights shall be
treated like all other Company Stock, stock rights, or other appurtenant rights for which no instructions are received. The Trustee, or if an Independent Fiduciary has been appointed, the Independent Fiduciary, shall vote the allocated Company Stock
that an Account Owner does not vote as specified in section 14.1. 

  

					
		 	Page 45 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(b)	If the Trustee or Independent Fiduciary determines that the Plan does not satisfy the requirements of ERISA §404(c), the Trustee or Independent Fiduciary shall follow the instructions of the Account Owner with
respect to voting, tender, stock rights, or other rights appurtenant to the Company Stock unless the Trustee or Independent Fiduciary determines that to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under ERISA. In such case, the Trustee or
the Independent Fiduciary shall take such action as it determines to be consistent with its fiduciary duties under ERISA. 

  

	14.13	Confidentiality. 

  

	 	(a)	The Committee shall designate one of its members (the “Committee Fiduciary”) to receive investment directions and to transmit such directions to the Trustee or Independent Fiduciary, as the case may be. The
Committee Fiduciary shall also receive all Account Owner instructions concerning voting, tender, stock rights, and other rights appurtenant to the Company Stock. The Committee Fiduciary shall communicate the instructions to the Trustee or the
Fiduciary, as appropriate. 

  

	 	(b)	Neither the Committee Fiduciary, the Trustee, nor the Independent Fiduciary shall reveal or release any instructions received from Account Owners concerning the Company Stock to Apache, an Affiliated Entity, or the
officers, directors, employees, agents, or representatives of Apache and Affiliated Entities, except to the extent necessary to comply with Federal or state law not preempted by ERISA. If disclosure is required by Federal or state law, the
information shall be disclosed to the extent possible in the aggregate rather than on an individual basis. 

  

	 	(c)	The Committee Fiduciary shall be responsible for reviewing the confidentiality procedures from time to time to determine their adequacy. The Committee Fiduciary shall ensure that the confidentiality procedures are
followed. The Committee Fiduciary shall also ensure that the Independent Fiduciary provided for in section 14.15 is appointed. 

  

	 	(d)	Apache, with the Trustee’s cooperation, shall take such action as is necessary to maintain the confidentiality of Account records including, without limitation, establishment of security systems and procedures
which restrict access to Account records and retention of an independent agent to maintain such records. If an independent recordkeeping agent is retained, such agent must agree, as a condition of its retention by Apache, not to disclose the
composition of any Accounts to Apache, an Affiliated Entity or an officer, director, employee, or representative of Apache or an Affiliated Entity. 

  

	 	(e)	Apache acknowledges and agrees to honor the confidentiality of the Account Owners’ instructions to the Committee Fiduciary, the Trustee, and the Independent Fiduciary. If Apache, by its own act or omission,
breaches the confidentiality of Account Owner instructions, Apache agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Committee Fiduciary, the Trustee, or the Independent Fiduciary, as the case may be, against and from all liabilities, claims and demands,
damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that the Committee Fiduciary, the Trustee, or the Independent Fiduciary may incur as a result thereof. 

 

	14.14	Investment of Proceeds. 

 If Company Stock or the rights are sold pursuant to the tender
offer or the provisions of the rights, the proceeds of such sale shall be invested in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. 
  

	14.15	Independent Fiduciary. 

 Apache shall appoint a fiduciary (the “Independent
Fiduciary”) to act solely with respect to the Company Stock in situations which the Committee Fiduciary determines involve a potential for undue influence by Apache in connection with the Company Stock and the exercise of any rights appurtenant
to the Company Stock. If the Committee Fiduciary so determines, it shall give written notice to the Independent Fiduciary, which shall have sole responsibility for assuring that Account Owners receive the information necessary to make informed
decisions concerning the Company Stock, are free from undue influence or coercion, and that their instructions are followed to the extent proper under ERISA. The Independent Fiduciary shall act until it receives written notice to the contrary from
the Committee Fiduciary.

	14.16	Method of Communications. 

 Several provisions in this Article specify that various
communications to or from an Account Owner must be in writing. The Committee, the Committee Fiduciary, the Independent Fiduciary, the Company, and the Trustee, as appropriate, shall each have full authority to treat other forms of communication,
such as electronic mail or telephone voice-response, as satisfying any “written” requirement specified in this Article, but only to the extent permitted by the IRS, the Department of Labor, and the Securities Exchange Commission, as
appropriate. 
 ARTICLE XV  

Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 

 

	15.1	General. 

  

	 	(a)	Scope. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (the “USERRA”), which is codified at 38 USCA §§4301-4318, confers certain rights on individuals who leave civilian
employment to perform certain services in the Armed Forces, the National Guard, the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service, or in any other category designated by the President of the United States in time of war or emergency (collectively,
the “Uniformed Services”). An Employee who joins the Uniformed Services shall be referred to as a “Serviceman” in this Article. This Article shall be interpreted to provide such individuals with all the benefits required by the
USERRA but no greater benefits than those required by the USERRA. This Article shall supersede any contrary provisions in the remainder of the Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	Rights of Servicemen. When a Serviceman leaves the Uniformed Services, he may have reemployment rights with the Company or Affiliated Entities, depending on many factors, including the length of his stay in the
Uniformed Services and the type of discharge he received. When this Article speaks of the date a Serviceman’s potential USERRA reemployment rights expire, it means the date on which the Serviceman fails to qualify for reemployment rights (if,
for example, he is dishonorably discharged, or, in general, remains in the Uniformed Services for more than 5 years) or, if the Serviceman obtains reemployment rights, the date his reemployment rights lapse because the Serviceman failed to timely
exercise those rights. 

  

	15.2	While a Serviceman. 

 In general, a Serviceman shall be treated as an Employee while he
continues to receive wages or Differential Pay from the Company or an Affiliated Entity, and once the Serviceman’s wages and Differential Pay from the Company or Affiliated Entity cease, the Serviceman shall be treated as if he were on an
approved, unpaid leave of absence. For purposes of this Article, “Differential Pay” means the pay received by a Serviceman from Apache and Affiliated Entities, pursuant to their military leave policies, that is generally equal to the
difference between his pay from the Armed Forces and his regular pay from Apache and Affiliated Entities before his military leave began. Differential Pay must also come within the meaning of “differential wage payment” in Code
§3401(h)(2). The definition of “Compensation” in Article I shall include Differential Pay for all purposes. 
  

	 	(a)	Participant Contributions. For purposes of making Participant Contributions under section 3.2, if the Serviceman was a Covered Employee when he became a Serviceman, he shall continue to be treated as a Covered
Employee while he continues to receive wages or Differential Pay from the Company. As a consequence, (i) if he was a Covered Employee who had satisfied the requirements of Article II when he became a Serviceman, he may continue to make
Participant Contributions from his wages and Differential Pay from the Company, and (ii) if he had not satisfied the requirements of section 2.1 when he became a Serviceman, his service in the Uniformed Services shall be treated as service with
the Company in determining when he will be able to begin making Participant Contributions under section 2.1, and if his wages or Differential Pay from the Company continue beyond that eligibility date, the Serviceman may begin to make Participant
Contributions on such date. A Serviceman may change his rate of contributions in the same manner as an Employee. A Serviceman’s Participant Contributions shall cease when his wages and Differential Pay from the Company cease. 

 

	 	(b)	 Company Contributions. Wages and Differential Pay paid by the Company to a Serviceman shall be included in his Compensation as if the
Serviceman were an Employee. A Serviceman’s Participant 

  

					
		 	Page 47 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	
Contributions shall be matched according to the formula in paragraph 3.1(b)(i). If the Employee was a Covered Employee when he became a Serviceman and his wages or Differential Pay continue
through the last business day of a Plan Year, then (i) the Serviceman shall be treated as an “eligible Participant” under subsection 3.1(a) for that Plan Year (and shall therefore receive an allocation of any Company Discretionary
Contribution); (ii) the Serviceman shall be treated as an “eligible Participant” under paragraph 3.1(b)(ii) for that Plan Year (and shall therefore receive an allocation of any additional match provided under such paragraph);
(iii) if he was a Non-Highly Compensated Employee when he became a Serviceman, he shall be eligible to receive an allocation of any QNECs and QMACs provided under subsections 3.7(c) and 3.8(c); and (iv) he shall be treated as an Employee
under subsection 12.4(a) (and, if he is a Non-Key Employee, he shall therefore receive any minimum required allocation if the Plan is top-heavy). 

  

	 	(c)	Investments. If the Serviceman has an account balance in the Plan, he is an Account Owner and may therefore direct the investment of his Accounts pursuant to section 9.3 and Article XIV. 

 

	 	(d)	Loans. For purposes of borrowing from the Plan under Article VII, a Serviceman shall be treated as an Employee until the day on which his potential USERRA reemployment rights expire. If a Serviceman with an
outstanding loan continues to receive wages or Differential Pay from the Company or an Affiliated Entity after joining the Uniformed Services, his loan payments shall continue to be deducted from those wages and Differential Pay. Once the
Serviceman’s wages and Differential Pay cease, his loan payments shall be suspended until the earlier of (i) his reemployment with the Company or an Affiliated Entity or (ii) the day on which his potential USERRA reemployment rights
expire. The Serviceman may repay all or part of his loan at any time during the suspension. During the payment suspension, interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of the loan. See subsections 15.3(b) and 15.4(c) for the resumption of loan
payments for a reemployed Serviceman, and subsection 15.3(a) for the timing of the loan’s default if the Serviceman is not reemployed. 

  

	 	(e)	Distributions and Withdrawals. For purposes of Article VI (relating to distributions and in-service withdrawals), the Serviceman shall be treated as an Employee until the day on which his potential USERRA
reemployment rights expire, with one exception. The Serviceman shall be treated as having had a severance from employment on the date he became a Serviceman with respect to any benefits accrued from his Differential Pay; however, if the Serviceman
takes such a distribution, his Participant Contributions [and any deemed Participant Contributions under subsection (h)] shall cease for six months from the date of the distribution. See section 15.3 once his potential USERRA rights expire.

  

	 	(f)	QDROs. QDROs shall be processed while the Participant is a Serviceman. The Committee has the discretion to establish special procedures under subsection 13.9(e) for Servicemen, by, for example, extending the
usual deadlines to accommodate any practical difficulties encountered by the Serviceman that are attributable to his service in the Uniformed Services. 

  

	 	(g)	Rollovers. If the Serviceman was a Covered Employee when he became a Serviceman, the Serviceman may make Rollover Contributions pursuant to subsection 3.2(d) until the day on which his potential USERRA
reemployment rights expire. 

  

	 	(h)	Death or Disability. If a Serviceman dies or becomes disabled while he is a Serviceman, his Account shall be fully vested. In addition, the Serviceman will be treated as if he had returned to active employment
and then died or became disabled, with the result that he will receive the make-up contributions under subsections 15.4(e), 15.4(f), and 15.4(g), and to the extent those are based on his Participant Contributions, he shall be also treated as if he
had continued making Participant Contributions from his Deemed Compensation at the average rate he actually made Participant Contributions during the 12 months (or, if less his actual length of service with Apache and Affiliated Entities)
immediately before he became a Serviceman. 

  

	15.3	Expiration of USERRA Reemployment Rights. 

  

	 	(a)	 Consequences. If a Serviceman is not reemployed before his potential USERRA reemployment rights expire, the Committee shall determine his
Termination From Service Date by treating his service in the Uniformed Services as an approved leave of absence but treating the expiration of his potential USERRA reemployment rights as the failure to timely return from his leave of absence, with
the consequence that his Termination From Service Date will generally be the date his potential USERRA 

  

					
		 	Page 48 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	
rights expired. Once his Termination From Service Date has been determined, the Committee shall determine his vested percentage. For purposes of Article VI (relating to distributions), the day
the Serviceman’s potential USERRA reemployment rights expired shall be treated as the day of his Termination from Service. For purposes of subsection 5.4(b) (relating to the timing of forfeitures), the Serviceman’s last day of employment
shall be the day his potential USERRA reemployment rights expired. If the Serviceman has an outstanding loan from this Plan when his potential USERRA reemployment rights expire, his loan shall go into default on the last day of the calendar quarter
after the calendar quarter in which his potential USERRA reemployment rights expired, unless, before the loan goes into default, he repays the loan or is rehired pursuant to subsection (b). 

 

	 	(b)	Rehire after Expiration of Reemployment Rights. If the Company or an Affiliated Company hires a former Serviceman after his potential USERRA reemployment rights have expired, he shall be treated like any other
former employee who is rehired. If he had an outstanding loan and is reemployed before the loan goes into default pursuant to subsection (a), his loan payments shall be recalculated and the Company or Affiliated Entity shall immediately resume
withholding the revised loan payments from his pay. The term of the loan when payments resume shall be equal to the remaining term of the loan when payments were suspended. 

 

	15.4	Return From Uniformed Service. 

 This section applies solely to a Serviceman who returns
to employment with the Company or an Affiliated Entity because he exercised his reemployment rights under the USERRA. 
  

	 	(a)	Credit for Service. A Serviceman’s length of time in the Uniformed Services shall be treated as service with the Company for purposes of vesting and determining his eligibility to participate in the Plan
upon reemployment. 

  

	 	(b)	Participation. If the Serviceman satisfies the eligibility requirements of section 2.1 before his reemployment, and he is a Covered Employee upon his reemployment, he may participate in the Plan immediately upon
his return. 

  

	 	(c)	Loans. If the Serviceman’s loan payments were suspended under subsection 15.2(d) during his time in the Uniformed Services, his loan payments shall be recalculated and the Company or Affiliated Entity shall
immediately resume withholding the revised loan payments from his pay. The term of the loan when payments resume shall be equal to the remaining term of the loan when payments were suspended. 

 

	 	(d)	Make-Up Participant Contributions. In addition to his regular Participant Contributions, a returning Serviceman shall be permitted to make additional contributions up to the amount of Participant Contributions he
could have made if, instead of becoming a Serviceman, he had remained employed by the Company or Affiliated Entity and been paid his Deemed Compensation during that time. See subsection (h) for guidance on applying the various limits contained
in the Code to the calculation of the maximum additional contribution the returning Serviceman may make. Such additional contributions may only be made within a period that begins on his reemployment date and whose duration is the lesser of five
years or three times his length of time in the Uniformed Services. The additional contributions shall be withheld from his Compensation pursuant to the Serviceman’s election. The Committee shall establish administrative procedures for such
elections. The additional contributions shall be allocated to Participant Contributions Accounts or Roth Contributions Accounts, as applicable. 

  

	 	(e)	Make-Up Match. For each additional contribution that the Serviceman contributes pursuant to subsection (d), the Company shall promptly contribute to his Accounts an additional matching contribution. The
additional matching contribution shall be equal to the Company Matching Contribution (including forfeitures treated as Company Matching Contributions) that he would have received if (i) his additional contributions were Participant
Contributions made during his time in the Uniformed Services, and (ii) he was paid his Deemed Compensation during his time in the Uniformed Services. The Serviceman’s additional contributions shall be spread over the pay periods in which
they could have occurred in such a way as to maximize the additional matching contribution. See subsection (h) for guidance on applying the various limits contained in the Code to the calculation of the additional matching contribution. The
additional matching contribution shall be allocated to the Participant’s Company Contributions Account unless the additional matching contribution would have been designated a QMAC, in which case it shall be allocated to his Participant
Contributions Account. 

  

					
		 	Page 49 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(f)	Make-Up Company Discretionary Contribution. The Company shall contribute an additional contribution to a Serviceman’s Accounts equal to the Company Discretionary Contribution (including any forfeitures
treated as Company Discretionary Contributions) that would have been allocated to such Accounts if the Serviceman had remained employed during his time in the Uniformed Services, and had earned his Deemed Compensation during that time. See
subsection (h) for guidance on applying the various limits contained in the Code to the calculation of the additional discretionary contribution. The additional discretionary contribution shall be allocated to the Participant’s Company
Contributions Account unless the additional discretionary contribution would have been designated a QNEC, in which case it shall be allocated to his Participant Contributions Account. 

 

	 	(g)	Make-Up Miscellaneous Contributions. The Company shall contribute to the Serviceman’s Accounts any QNECs and QMACs that the Serviceman would have received pursuant to subsection 3.7(c) or 3.8(c), and any
top-heavy minimum contribution he would have received pursuant to section 12.4, (including any forfeitures treated as QNECs, QMACs, or top-heavy minimum contributions) if he had remained employed during his time in the Uniformed Services, and had
earned Deemed Compensation during that time. See subsection (h) for guidance on applying the various limits contained in the Code to the calculation of the QNECs, QMACs, and top-heavy minimum contribution. These additional top-heavy minimum
contributions shall be allocated to Company Contributions Accounts. The additional QNECs and QMACs shall be allocated to Participant Contributions Accounts. 

  

	 	(h)	Application of Limitations. 

  

	 	(i)	The make-up contributions under subsections (d), (e), (f), and (g) (the “Make-Up Contributions”) shall be ignored for purposes of determining the Company’s maximum contribution under subsection
3.1(d), the limits on Participant Contributions under paragraphs 3.2(a)(ii) and 3.2(b)(ii), the limits on Annual Additions under section 3.4, the ADP test of section 3.5, the ACP test of section 3.6, the non-discrimination requirements of Code
§401(a)(4), and (if the Serviceman is a Key Employee) calculating the minimum required top-heavy contribution under section 12.4. 

  

	 	(ii)	In order to determine the maximum Make-Up Contributions, the following limitations shall apply. 

  

	 	(A)	The Serviceman’s “Aggregate Compensation” for each year shall be calculated. His Aggregate Compensation shall be equal to his actual Compensation, plus his Deemed Compensation that would have been paid
during that year. Each type of Aggregate Compensation (for benefit purposes, deferral purposes, etc.) shall be determined separately. 

  

	 	(B)	The Serviceman’s Aggregate Compensation each Plan Year shall be limited to the dollar limit in effect for that Plan Year under Code §401(a)(17), for the purposes and in the manner specified in subsection
1.14(f). 

  

	 	(C)	The limits of subsection 3.1(d) (relating to the maximum contribution by the Company to the Plan) for each Plan Year shall be calculated by using the Serviceman’s Aggregate Compensation for that Plan Year, and by
treating the Make-Up Contributions that are attributable to that Plan Year’s Deemed Compensation as having been made during that Plan Year. 

  

	 	(D)	The limits of paragraph 3.2(a)(ii) (relating to the maximum 401(k) Contributions) and paragraph 3.2(b)(ii) (relating to the maximum Catch-Up Contributions) for each calendar year shall be calculated by treating as
401(k) and Catch-Up Contributions his additional contributions pursuant to subsection (d) that are attributable to that calendar year’s Deemed Compensation. 

 

	 	(E)	The limits of section 3.4 (relating to the maximum Annual Additions to a Participant’s Accounts) shall be calculated for each Limitation Year by using the Serviceman’s Aggregate Compensation for that
Limitation Year, and by treating as Annual Additions all the Make-Up Contributions that are attributable to that Limitation Year’s Deemed Compensation. 

  

					
		 	Page 50 of 51	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(F)	The Serviceman’s maximum Make-Up Contributions shall not be limited by the results of the Plan’s ADP test or ACP test for any Plan Year in which the Serviceman has Deemed Compensation, even if the Serviceman
is treated as a Highly Compensated Employee (using his Aggregate Compensation) for that Plan Year. 

  

	 	(i)	Deemed Compensation. A Serviceman’s Deemed Compensation is the Compensation that he would have received (including raises) had he remained employed by the Company or Affiliated Entity during his time in the
Uniformed Services, unless it is not reasonably certain what his Compensation would have been, in which case his Deemed Compensation shall be based on his average rate of compensation during the 12 months (or, if shorter, his period of employment
with the Company and Affiliated Entities) immediately before he entered the Uniformed Services. A Serviceman’s Deemed Compensation shall be reduced by any Compensation actually paid to him during his time in the Uniformed Services (such as
vacation pay, wages, and Differential Pay). Deemed Compensation shall cease when the Serviceman’s potential USERRA reemployment rights expire. Each type of Deemed Compensation (for benefit purposes, deferral purposes, etc.) shall be determined
separately.

 APPENDIX C 

Corporate Transactions 
 Over the years,
Apache and its Affiliated Entities have engaged in numerous corporate transactions, both acquisitions and sales. This Appendix contains any special provisions that apply to employees affected by the corporate transaction, including both those who
become Employees and those who cease to be Employees. 
 Sales 

NGC. For an Employee who transferred to Natural Gas Clearinghouse (“NGC”) pursuant to the terms of the Employee Benefits Agreement effective
April 1, 1990 between Apache and NGC, a Period of Service shall be calculated by treating as employment with Apache any period(s) of employment after April 1, 1990 with NGC or any business that is then treated as a single employer with NGC
pursuant to Code §414(b), §414(c), §414(m), or §414(o). 
 Citation. Employees terminated in connection with the summer 1995 sale
of certain properties to Citation 1994 Investment Limited Partnership are fully vested in their Plan Accounts as of September 1, 1995. 

ProEnergy. An Employee who transferred to Producers Energy Marketing LLC (“ProEnergy”) in the first half of 1996 is fully vested in his Plan
Accounts as of the date of transfer. If such an individual becomes an Employee again, all new contributions to his Plan Accounts shall vest according to the regular rules. 

Fieldwood. The following three paragraphs apply to any Employee who transfers to Fieldwood Energy, LLC (“Fieldwood”) or to any business while
it is treated as a single employer with Fieldwood pursuant to Code §414(b), §414(c), §414(m), or §414(o) (collectively, the “Fieldwood Group”), and whose transfer occurs within one year following the closing of the
transaction described in the “Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among Apache Corporation, Apache Shelf, Inc., and Apache Deepwater LLC, and Fieldwood Energy, LLC and GOM Shelf LLC” (the “PSA”) that was entered into on
July 18, 2013 (a “Transferred Employee”). 
 Vesting. Notwithstanding subsection 5.3(a), for vesting purposes, a Period
of Service for a Transferred Employee shall include such Transferred Employee’s service with the Fieldwood Group termination of employment with the Fieldwood Group. Notwithstanding subsection 5.4(b), the earliest date a forfeiture may occur is
the date of the Transferred Employee’s termination of employment with the Fieldwood Group. 
 Distributions. A Transferred
Employee may take a distribution of the entire distributable amount at any time after his Termination from Service Date from the Company. The distributable amount, as determined under section 6.3, only includes vested benefits. If the Transferred
Employee takes a distribution and then accrues additional vested amounts, such Transferred Employee may take additional distribution(s) of such additional vested amounts, each of which shall be equal to the entire distributable amount at the time of
the distribution. Notwithstanding subsection 6.6(c), the Plan will not cash out a small Account until the Transferred Employee becomes fully vested or, if earlier, such Transferred Employee terminates employment with the Fieldwood Group. 

Loans. A Transferred Employee may roll over any outstanding loan from the Plan to a qualified plan sponsored by any member of the
Fieldwood Group that agrees to accept such a rollover, as long as the rollover is initiated by the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which occurs the Transferred Employee’s Effective Date (as defined in Exhibit
F of the PSA). Any loan not rolled over by such date shall be subject to the usual default rules in section 7.6. Notwithstanding Article VI, a Transferred Employee may roll over a loan under this paragraph without taking any other distribution from
the Plan.

 APPENDIX E 

Mariner Energy, Inc. 

Introduction 
 Through a merger
effective as of November 10, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), Apache acquired Mariner Energy, Inc., (“Mariner”) which sponsored the Mariner Energy, Inc. Employee Capital Accumulation Plan (“Mariner’s 401(k) Plan”).
Mariner’s 401(k) Plan is merged into this Plan as of November 16, 2010. This Appendix describes the special rules that apply to amounts transferred from Mariner’s 401(k) Plan to this Plan, and also describes how the match is
calculated for 2010 in this Plan. 
 Capitalized terms in this Appendix have the same meanings as those given to them in the Plan. The regular terms of the
Plan shall apply, except as provided below. 
 Match 

The Company Matching Contribution for 2010 shall be determined pursuant to section 3.2 of the Plan, based on the Participant Contributions and Compensation
paid to a Covered Employee after the date of the merger, except as provided in the next sentence. If a Covered Employee’s Participant Contributions to this Plan and his contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan that are subject to the limits
of Code §402(g) are $16,500 or (because of catch-up contributions) more during 2010, his Company Matching Contribution for 2010 will be the greater of (a) the aggregate matching contributions he would have received in both this Plan and
Mariner’s 401(k) Plan had equal salary deferrals of $16,500 in the aggregate been withheld from each regular paycheck during 2010, minus the match allocated to him for 2010 in Mariner’s 401(k) Plan, or (b) the amount described in the
preceding sentence. 
 The Company Matching Contribution shall vest pursuant to the usual rules in Article V. See Appendix C for additional (pre-Apache)
service that is taken into account for vesting purposes. 
 Incoming Assets 

A participant in Mariner’s 401(k) Plan may have as many as seven different types of accounts in that plan. The following distribution rules apply to
those incoming accounts (the “Old Mariner Accounts”). 
  

	1.	Accounts. 

  

	 	(a)	Employee Deferrals. Any Old Mariner Account that is subject to Code §401(k) shall be transferred to the Participant Contributions Account. No special distribution rules apply to such amounts.

  

	 	(b)	Regular Match. Matching contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and the earnings thereon shall be transferred to a separate subaccount of the Company Contributions Account in this Plan. These amounts vest 33%
when his Period of Service is one year, 66% when his Period of Service is two years, and 100% when his Period of Service is three years or more. These amounts are subject to the distribution rules that apply to Company Contributions Accounts, except
as noted below in section 2 below. 

  

	 	(c)	Discretionary Company Contribution. Discretionary employer contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and the earnings thereon that were subject to a 6-year vesting schedule shall be transferred to a separate
subaccount of the Company Contribution Account in this Plan that is subject to the regular 5-year vesting schedule described in Article V. The additional vesting shall apply to this subaccount on the date of the merger of the plans, even to those
subaccounts of individuals who are no longer employees. This subaccount is subject to the distribution rules that apply to Company Contributions Accounts, except as noted in section 2 below. 

  

					
		 	E-1	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	 	(d)	Pre-Tax Rollover Account. Pre-tax rollovers contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and the earnings thereon shall be transferred to the Rollover Account. No special distribution rules apply to such amounts.

  

	 	(e)	After-Tax Rollover Account. After-tax rollovers contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and the earnings thereon shall be transferred to a separate, fully vested, subaccount of the Rollover Account in this
Plan. No special distribution rules apply to this subaccount. 

  

	 	(f)	After-Tax Account. A participant’s after-tax contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and the earnings thereon shall be transferred to a separate, fully vested, subaccount of the Participant Contributions
Account in this Plan. The same distribution rules that apply to the Rollover Account will apply to this subaccount. 

  

	 	(g)	FERI Accounts. Both matching and discretionary employer contributions to a plan sponsored by Forest Oil and transferred to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and the earnings thereon shall be transferred to separate,
fully vested, subaccounts of the Company Contributions Account in this Plan. These subaccounts are subject to the distribution rules that apply to Company Contributions Accounts, except as noted in section 2 below. 

 

	2.	Special Distribution Rules. 

  

	 	(a)	Installments. Except as provided in the next sentence, in subsection 6.4(b) of the Plan (relating to in-service withdrawals, minimum required withdrawals, and installments to beneficiaries), and in subsection
13.9(f) of the Plan (relating to QDROs), all distributions shall be in the form of a lump sum of the Account Owner’s entire vested account balance in the Plan. Any Account Owner who elected installment payments from the Old Mariner Accounts
before the merger of Mariner’s 401(k) Plan and this Plan shall be paid the installments in the amount and on the schedule he had elected. 

  

	 	(b)	Hardship Withdrawals. A Participant may take an in-service hardship withdrawal that meets the requirements of paragraphs 6.5(c)(i) and 6.5(c)(ii) of the Plan from the subaccounts of the Company Contribution
Account that were established in subsections 1(b), 1(c), and 1(g) of this Appendix, to the extent such subaccounts are vested. 

  

	 	(c)	Two-Year Rule. Once the funds have actually been in either the Plan or Mariner’s 401(k) Plan for 24 months, a Participant may take an in-service withdrawal from the vested portion of the subaccounts of the
Company Contribution Account that were established in subsections 1(b), 1(c), and 1(g) of this Appendix. 

  

	 	(d)	Five-Year Rule. Once a Participant has been a Participant in this Plan and Mariner’s 401(k) Plan for 60 months, the Participant may take an in-service withdrawal from the vested portion of the subaccounts of
the Company Contribution Account that were established in subsections 1(b), 1(c), and 1(g) of this Appendix. 

  

					
		 	E-2	 	Prepared March 17, 2015

	3.	Investments. 

 The Plan may accept an in-kind transfer of assets from Mariner’s
401(k) Plan, as determined by the Committee. 
  

	4.	Loans. 

 Loans in Mariner’s 401(k) Plan will be transferred to the Plan. The
repayment schedule of the loans may be modified to accommodate the Borrower’s new pay schedule. Participants cannot borrow from the Plan again until all prior loans have been repaid. 

 

	5.	Enrollment. 

 Individuals who were employed by Mariner or related companies and become
Covered Employees on the Closing Date will be deemed to have elected to make Participant Contributions to this Plan at the same rate that they had been making similar contributions to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan immediately before the plans’
merger. If any such individual was not contributing to Mariner’s 401(k) Plan when the plan merger occurred, he will not be automatically enrolled in the Plan, even if he was hired by Mariner as recently as one day before the plans’ merger.

  

	6.	Vesting. 

 If (a) the Participant was an employee of Mariner on the Closing Date,
(b) his severance from employment occurs on or before June 30, 2011, (c) Apache decided to terminate the Participant or the Participant decided not to accept Apache’s offer of employment, and (d) the Participant’s
termination is not for cause, then the Participant’s Old Mariner Accounts shall become fully vested upon his severance from employment.
