Address

Dear Name:

It is my pleasure to confirm to you that on                     , you were granted ___deferred shares of
Anadarko common stock and non-qualified stock options to purchase ___shares of Anadarko common
stock pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s 2008 Director Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). A
copy of the Plan is attached for your reference.

Your deferred shares will become payable to you within 30 days after the date you cease to be a
director of the Company for any reason (including your retirement from the Board). The deferred
shares will not be issued in your name, but will be held by the Company, either in book-entry form
or by the Company’s Executives and Directors Benefits Trust (the “Trust”), until they become
transferable to you. Although you will not have beneficial ownership of the deferred shares until
they are actually transferred to you, will have the opportunity to direct the voting of your
deferred shares (which voting instructions the Trustee of the Trust may not follow, in its sole
discretion) and such deferred shares will be counted toward your stock ownership requirements. You
will also receive a cash payment equal to the cash dividends that are paid on the Company’s common
stock each quarter, with such cash amount to be paid within 30 days after the date that such
dividends are paid to the Company’s regular stockholders. You should note that the deferred shares
held in the Trust are considered an unsecured obligation of the Company and any and all assets held
in the Trust are subject to the general creditors of the Company. Your deferred shares are subject
to the terms of the Plan (including the restrictions on transfer, assignment and pledge) and this
letter.

Your options will vest at the rate of 100% on                      and have an exercise price equal to the
closing stock price on                      of $___. Any unexercised stock options shall expire ten years from
the date of grant, or on                     . Your stock options are subject to the terms of the Plan and
this letter.

Upon vesting, the Options may be exercised in whole or in part by filing a written notice with the
Company’s Corporate Secretary at its corporate headquarters. Such notice shall be in the form
specified by the Company. Payments of all amounts due (e.g., Exercise Price and applicable
withholding taxes) may be made either (i) in cash; (ii) in Common Stock (by either actual delivery
of Common Stock or by attestation presenting satisfactory proof of beneficial ownership of such
Common Stock) already owned; or (iii) any combination of cash and Common Stock. The Fair Market
Value of such Common Stock as delivered shall be valued as of the closing sales price at which
Common Stock is sold on the date of exercise, as reported in the NYSE-Composite Transactions by The
Wall Street Journal. No Shares shall be issued or delivered until full payment of the Exercise
Price and applicable withholding taxes, if any, has been made.

 

 

Unexercised Options shall expire and be forfeited (without value) in the event you cease to be a
director of the Company, unless otherwise provided below (provided that in no event may the
options be exercised more than ten (10) years from the date of grant):

     (i) Retirement. If you cease to be a director of the Company by reason of
Retirement (as defined below), all unvested Options shall be forfeited and you (or, in the
event of your death, your legal representative) may, within a period of not more than
twenty-four (24) months after the date of such cessation, exercise vested Options if and to
the extent they were exercisable on the date of cessation. “Retirement” for purposes hereof
is defined as (i) 10 years of service as a director of the Company (ii) attainment of age 55
and five years service as a director of the Company, or (iii) attainment of age 65.

     (ii) Death. If you cease to be a director of the Company by reason of death,
any outstanding Options granted to you shall vest and be immediately exercisable with
respect to all or any part of the Options which remain unexercised. Your legal
representative or other person or persons to whom your rights under the Options shall pass
to by will or the laws of descent and distribution, may, within a period of not more than
twelve (12) months after the date of death, exercise the Options. In the event of your death
after your cessation as a director, your legal representative will have the remaining
exercise period awarded to you by your reason of cessation as provided in this letter or the
Plan.

     (iii) Permanent Disability. If you cease to be a director of the Company by
reason of Permanent Disability (as defined below), any outstanding Options granted to you
shall vest and be immediately exercisable with respect to all or any part of the Options
which remain unexercised. You (or, in the event of your death, your legal representative)
may, within a period of not more than twenty-four (24) months after the date of your
cessation as a director, exercise the Options. You shall be deemed to have become
“Permanently Disabled” if you (i) are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity
by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected
to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than
twelve (12) months, or (ii) are, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental
impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits
for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan of the
Company.

     (iv) Resignation from the Board of Directors. If you resign from the Company’s
Board of Directors, all unvested Options shall be forfeited and you (or, in the event of
your death, your legal representative) may, within a period of not more than three (3)
months after the effective date of such resignation, exercise vested Options.

The Options granted hereunder are not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. Options are exercisable, during your lifetime, only by you. Upon any attempt to
transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Options, or of any right or
privilege conferred hereby, contrary to the provisions hereof, or upon the levy of any attachment

 

 

or similar process upon the Options or any right or privilege conferred hereby, the Options and the
right and privilege conferred hereby shall immediately become null and void.

You shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of common stock subject to the
Options prior to the date you are issued a certificate or certificates for such shares, or until
such shares are recorded on the books of the Company’s stock transfer agent.

Please note that this letter serves as your notice of award and is for your personal files. You
are not required to sign and return any documents.

For your personal records, we have enclosed a summary of all your stock option and deferred share
grants as of                     .

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact                                          or        
                                 .

Sincerely,exv10w44

Costs incurred prior to the Effective Time. “Earned” and “incurred,” as used in this
Agreement, shall be interpreted in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles (as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board) (“GAAP”)

Period (as hereinafter defined).

     (f) For purposes of allocating production (and accounts receivable with respect
thereto), under this Section 1.3, (i) liquid Hydrocarbons shall be deemed to be “from or
attributable to” the Assets when they pass through the flow lines connecting the

5

 

Wells with
the storage facilities into which they are run and (ii) gaseous Hydrocarbons shall be deemed
to be “from or attributable to” the Assets when they pass through the delivery point sales
meters on the pipelines through which they are transported. Seller and Purchaser shall
utilize reasonable interpolative procedures to arrive at a mutually acceptable allocation of
production when exact meter readings or gauging and strapping data is not available.
Seller, upon request, shall provide to Purchaser, no later than five (5) Business Days prior
to the First Closing, evidence of all meter readings and all gauging and strapping
procedures conducted on or about the Effective Time in connection with the Assets, together
with all data necessary to support any allocation, for purposes of establishing the
adjustment to the First Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2 and Second Purchase Price
pursuant to Section 2.3. For the purpose of allocating Property Costs (and accounts payable
with respect thereto), an item of expense shall be deemed to have been incurred on the
service date therefor as shown on the vendor’s invoice.

     (g) Taxes (other than Taxes measured by gross proceeds, income, profits or capital
gains), right-of-way fees, insurance premiums and other Property Costs that are paid
periodically shall be prorated based on the number of days in the applicable period falling

sold, as applicable, before, and at or after, the Effective Time. After the First Closing,
Purchaser shall be responsible for twenty-five percent (25%) of the portion allocated to the
period at and after the Effective Time and Seller shall be responsible for the portion
allocated to the period before the Effective Time. After the Second Closing, Purchaser
shall be responsible for the remaining portion allocated to the period at and after the
Effective Time.

     (a) To assert a claim arising out of a breach of Section 3.1, Purchaser must deliver a
claim notice to Seller on or before a date (the “Title Claim Date”) which is at least one
(1) Business Day prior to the Second Closing Date, except as otherwise provided under
Section 3.6. Such notice shall be in writing and shall include (i) a description of the
alleged Title Defect(s), (ii) the Properties affected, (iii) the Allocated Values of the
Properties subject to the alleged Title Defect(s), (iv) reasonable supporting

10

 

documents to permit Seller (as well as any title attorney or examiner hired by Seller)
to verify the existence of the alleged Title Defect(s) and (v) the amount by which Purchaser
reasonably believes the Allocated Values of those Properties are reduced by the alleged
Title Defect(s) and the computations and information upon which Purchaser’s belief is based.

     (b) Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt, at its sole cost,
to cure or remove on or before a Closing, any Title Defects of which it has been notified by
Purchaser.

     (c) With respect to each Property affected by Title Defects reported under Section
3.4(a) and not cured prior to a Closing, such Property at Purchaser’s sole election, shall
be either (i) assigned at Closing subject to all such uncured Title Defects and the Purchase

the Allocated Value for such Property caused by such Title Defects, as determined pursuant
to Section 3.4(d), or (ii) be excluded from the Assets to be purchased hereunder and the
applicable Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Value of such
Property.

     (d) The Title Defect Amount resulting from a Title Defect shall be determined as
follows:

     (i) if Purchaser and Seller agree on the Title Defect Amount prior to Closing,
that amount shall be the Title Defect Amount;

     (ii) if the Title Defect is an Encumbrance which is undisputed and liquidated
in amount, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the amount necessary to be paid to
remove the Title Defect from the affected Property;

     (iii) if the Title Defect represents a discrepancy between (A) the actual net
revenue interest for any Property and (B) the net revenue interest or percentage
ownership stated on Exhibits “A”, “A-1” and “A-2” for such Property, then
the Title Defect Amount shall be the product of the Allocated Value multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the net revenue interest or percentage ownership
decrease and the denominator of which is the net revenue interest or percentage
ownership stated on Exhibits “A”, “A-1” and “A-2”;

     (iv) if the Title Defect represents a discrepancy between (A) the working
interest for a Property and (B) the working interest or percentage ownership stated
on Exhibits “A”, “A-1” and “A-2” for such Property, then to the extent there
is not a corresponding increase in the net revenue interest, the Title Defect Amount
shall be the product of the Allocated Value multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the working interest or percentage ownership increase and the
denominator of which is the working interest or percentage ownership stated on
Exhibits “A”, “A-1” and “A-2”;

     (v) if the Title Defect represents an Encumbrance of a type not described in
subsections (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Title Defect Amount shall

11

 

be determined by taking into account the Allocated Value of the Property so
affected, the portion of the Property affected by the Title Defect, the legal effect
of the Title Defect, the potential economic effect of the Title Defect over the life
of the affected Property, the values placed upon the Title Defect by Purchaser and
Seller and such other factors as are necessary to make a proper evaluation; and

     (vi) except as provided in Section 3.4(d)(ii), notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Article 3, the aggregate Title Defect Amounts attributable to the
effect of all Title Defects in respect of any particular Property shall not exceed
the Allocated Value of such Property.

     (e) Seller and Purchaser shall attempt to agree on all Title Defect Amounts no later
than one (1) Business Day prior to each Closing Date. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to
agree by that date, the arithmetic average of Purchaser’s and Seller’s estimates shall be
used to determine the Closing Payment pursuant to Section 8.4(a) and Section 8.8(a)), and
the Title Defect Amounts in dispute shall be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration
pursuant to this Section 3.4(e). During the 10-day period following the Closing Date, Title
Defect Amounts in dispute shall be submitted to an attorney licensed in the State of
Louisiana and with at least 10 years’ recent experience in oil and gas titles as selected by
(A) mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller or (B) absent such agreement during the 10-day
period, by the Dallas, Texas, office of the American Arbitration Association (the “Title
Arbitrator”). The Title Arbitrator shall not have had an affiliation with any Party or
their Affiliates within the seven (7) year period preceding the arbitration, or have any
financial interest in the dispute, controversy, or claim. The arbitration proceeding shall
be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not
conflict with the terms of this Section. The Title Arbitrator’s determination shall be made
within 30 days after submission of the matters in dispute and shall be final and binding
upon both Parties, without right of appeal. In making his determination, the Title
Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in Section 3.4(d) and may consider such
other matters as in the opinion of the Title Arbitrator are necessary or helpful to make a
proper determination. Additionally, the Title Arbitrator may consult with and engage
disinterested third parties to advise the arbitrator including, without limitation, title
attorneys from other states and petroleum engineers. The Title Arbitrator shall act as an
expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific disputed Title Defect Amounts
submitted by either Party and may not award damages, interest or penalties to either party
with respect to any matter. Seller and Purchaser shall each bear its own legal fees and
other costs of presenting its case. Each Party shall bear one-half of the costs and
expenses of the Title Arbitrator.

     Section 3.5 Notice of Environmental Defects; Defect Adjustments.

     (a) From and after the date of execution hereof, Seller shall afford Purchaser, its
representatives, agents and employees access to the Properties to conduct reasonable
inspections and to conduct an environmental assessment as herein provided.

12

 

     (b) If the results of the environmental assessment indicate in Purchaser’s judgment (i)
a material environmental hazard or condition which constitutes a violation or reasonably
could result in the violation of any Environmental Law or (ii) the existence of a condition
which would require future action by Purchaser or reasonably could result in Purchaser being
required to take future action as an environmental obligation or liability (an
“Environmental Defect”), then Purchaser shall notify Seller of same at least one (1)
Business Day prior to the Second Closing. With respect to each Property affected by an
Environmental Defect, such Property, at Purchaser’s sole discretion shall be either (i)
assigned at Closing subject to the Environmental Defect and the Purchase Price shall be
reduced by an amount as described below (“Environmental Defect Amount”) or (ii) be excluded
from the Assets to be purchased hereunder and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the allocated value of such Property. Seller and Purchaser shall use their
best efforts to agree on the amount of the Environmental Defect Amount. If Seller and
Purchaser cannot agree on a resolution of such Environmental Defect Amount prior to a
Closing, the Property(ies) which are affected by such condition shall be excluded from the
sale and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the value allocated to such Property(ies) in
Schedule 2.3 or Schedule 2.4, as applicable.

     Section 3.6 Consents to Assignment and Preferential Rights to Purchase.

     (a) Seller shall notify Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to a Closing
of all required third-party consents to the assignment of the Assets to Purchaser which have
not been obtained and the Assets to which they pertain, as well as advise Purchaser if the
assignment of any Contract or other Asset without obtaining a consent would result in
termination or material impairment of Seller’s or Purchaser’s rights in such Contract or
other Asset. In no event shall there be included in any Conveyance any Asset subject to a
consent requirement that provides that transfer of the Asset without consent will result in
a termination or other material impairment of any rights in relation to such Asset. In
cases where the Asset subject to such a requirement is a Lease and the third-party consent
to the sale and transfer of the Lease is not obtained prior to a Closing Date, Purchaser may
elect to treat the unsatisfied consent requirement as a Title Defect and receive the
appropriate Purchase Price adjustment under Section 2.2(b) and Section 2.3(b) by giving
Seller notice thereof in accordance with Section 3.4(a), except that such notice may be
given at any time prior to a Closing. If an unsatisfied consent requirement with respect to
which a Purchase Price adjustment is made under Section 3.4 is subsequently satisfied prior
to the date of the final adjustment to a Purchase Price under Section 8.4(b) or Section
8.8(b), Seller shall be paid the amount of the previous reduction in the applicable Purchase
Price and the provisions of this Section 3.6 shall no longer apply.

     (b) If any preferential rights to purchase any Leases are exercised prior to a Closing,
those Leases transferred or to be transferred to a third party as a result of the exercise
of such preferential rights shall be treated as if subject to a Title Defect resulting in
complete loss of title and the applicable Purchase Price shall be adjusted accordingly under
Sections 2.2(b), 2.3(b) and 3.4(e). Seller shall retain the consideration paid or to be
paid by the third party.

13

 

     Section 3.7 Assertion of Defects.

     Seller agrees that notwithstanding the consummation of the First Transaction, Purchaser may,
at its election, assert all Title and Environmental Defects, Consent requirements and Preferential
Right requirements relating to the Assets in connection with the Second Closing and may, at such
time, receive the full adjustment(s) therefor.

     (c) From and after First Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Purchaser and its officers, directors, agents, employees and representatives (collectively,
“Purchaser Indemnified Persons” against and from all damages incurred or suffered by
Purchaser:

     (i) caused by or arising out of or resulting from the ownership, use or
operation of the assets other than Property Costs incurred from the Effective Time
to the First Closing Date (which are addressed in Sections 2.2(b) and 10.2);

     (ii) attributable to or arising out of any actions, suits, or proceedings; or

     (iv) caused by or arising out of or resulting from any breach of any
representation or warranty made by Seller contained in Article 4 of this agreement,

     (d) “Damages”, for purposes of this Article 10, shall mean the amount of any actual

Indemnified Party arising out of or resulting from the indemnified matter, including
reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, consultants, accountants or other agents and
experts reasonably incident to matters indemnified against, and the costs of investigation
and/or monitoring of such matters, and the costs of enforcement of the indemnity; provided,
however, that Purchaser and Seller shall not be entitled to indemnification under this
Section 10.1 for, and “Damages” shall not include, (i) loss of profits or other
consequential damages suffered by the Party claiming indemnification, or any special or
punitive damages (other than indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages suffered

have no liability to Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Person or obligation to
indemnify Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Person for any specific matter or claim for
which Purchaser has received an adjustment to the Purchase Price including, without
limitation, any adjustment pursuant to Section 3.4.

     (f) Purchaser and Seller agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to Section
10.1(c) as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

32

 

     Section 10.2 Indemnification Actions.

     All claims for indemnification under Section 10.1 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

     (a) For purposes of this Article 10, the term “Indemnifying Party” when used in
connection with particular Damages shall mean the Party having an obligation to indemnify
the other Party with respect to such Damages pursuant to this Article 10, and the term
“Indemnified Party” when used in connection with particular Damages shall mean the Party
having the right to be indemnified with respect to such Damages by the other Party pursuant
to this Article 10.

     (b) To make claim for indemnification under Section 10.1, an Indemnified Party shall
notify the Indemnifying Party of its claim under this Section 10.2, including the specific
details of and specific basis under this Agreement for its claim (the “Claim Notice”). In
the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon a claim by a third party against
the Indemnified Party (a “Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall provide its Claim Notice
promptly after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of the Claim and shall enclose a
copy of all papers (if any) served with respect to the Claim; provided that the failure of
any Indemnified Party to give notice of a Claim as provided in this Section 10.2 shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 10.1 except to the extent
such failure results in insufficient time being available to permit the Indemnifying Party
to effectively defend against the Claim or otherwise materially prejudices the Indemnifying
Party’s ability to defend against the Claim. In the event that the claim for
indemnification is based upon an inaccuracy or breach of a representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement, the Claim Notice shall specify the representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement which was inaccurate or breached.

     (c) In the case of a claim for indemnification based upon a Claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall have 30 days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified
Party whether it admits or denies its liability to defend the Indemnified Party against such
Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party is
authorized, prior to and during such 30-day period, to file any motion, answer or other
pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of
the Indemnifying Party and that is not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party.

     (d) If the Indemnifying Party admits its liability, it shall have the right and
obligation to diligently defend, at its sole cost and expense, the Claim. The Indemnifying
Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or
settlement thereof. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to
cooperate in contesting any Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The
Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any
Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 10.2(d). An
Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, (i)
settle any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto which admits
liability on the part of the Indemnified Party or which does not include an

33

 

unconditional written release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of
such Claim or (ii) settle any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect
thereto in any manner that may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party (other
than as a result of money damages covered by the indemnity).

     (e) If the Indemnifying Party does not admit its liability or admits its liability but
fails to diligently prosecute or settle the Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the
right to defend against the Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party,
with counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choosing, subject to the right of the Indemnifying
Party to admit its liability and assume the defense of the Claim at any time prior to
settlement or final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party has not yet admitted
its liability for a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall send written notice to the
Indemnifying Party of any proposed settlement and the Indemnifying Party shall have the
option for 10 days following receipt of such notice to (i) admit in writing its liability
for the Claim and (ii) if liability is so admitted, reject, in its reasonable judgment, the
proposed settlement.

     (f) In the case of a claim for indemnification not based upon a Claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall have 30 days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to (i) cure the Damages
complained of, (ii) admit its liability for such Damages or (iii) dispute the claim for such
Damages. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within such 30 day
period that it has cured the Damages or that it disputes the claim for such Damages, the
amount of such Damages shall conclusively be deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party
hereunder.

     Section 10.3 Limitation on Actions.

     (a) The representations and warranties in this Agreement and Seller’s indemnification
obligations shall survive until the earlier of (i) the Second Closing or (ii) April 30,
2008, at which time they shall terminate except for matters asserted at or prior thereto and
except for the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1 through 4.6, 4.22,
4.24 and 5.1 through 5.6, which will survive indefinitely.

     (b) An Indemnified Party’s Damages hereunder shall be deemed reduced by the amount of
any insurance proceeds and any tax benefits received by the Indemnified Party with respect
to such Damages.

     Section 10.4 Recording.

     As soon as practicable after each Closing, Purchaser shall record the applicable Conveyance in
the appropriate recording jurisdictions as well as the appropriate Governmental Authorities and
provide Seller with copies of all recorded or approved instruments.
