(c)    Each of the parties hereto consents to the transactions referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above and waives, to the full extent necessary, any provisions in the Credit Agreement that might otherwise restrict or limit such payments, including without limitations such provisions related to Pro Rata payments and reductions. 
(d)    On the Amendment Effective Date and in accordance with Section 2.04(e), Parent designates Mizuho as a Swingline Lender with a Swingline Commitment equal to the Swingline Loan Committed Amount set forth opposite its name on Schedule IV.C, as amended by this Amendment, and Mizuho accepts such designation as Swingline Lender with such Swingline Commitment.

exculpatory, expense and contingent reimbursement provisions of any other Loan Document (collectively, the “Protective Provisions”) (which provisions shall continue in effect for the benefit of Wells Fargo in such capacity, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as the Administrative Agent) that expressly survive (in accordance with such terms) the succession of an Administrative Agent in such capacity under the Loan Documents.  Any amounts owed to the Initial Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall constitute “Obligations” for all purposes of the Loan Documents.  The parties hereby agree that the Protective Provisions shall apply to all actions taken by the Initial Administrative Agent under or in connection with the Loan Documents prior to the Amendment Effective Date.
(c)    Covenants of Administrative Agents.
(i)    Each of the Administrative Agents covenants and agrees that it will, in each case, at the Parent’s sole expense (in accordance with, and without duplication of Section 12.06 of the Amended Credit Agreement) take any additional actions, including delivery and/or execution of any documents, agreements or instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Successor Administrative Agent, to transfer any additional rights and privileges of the Initial Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents to the Successor Administrative Agent.
(ii)    Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, after the Amendment Effective Date, the Initial Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any right, power or privilege (including, without limitation, the exercise of any rights or remedies) as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents unless expressly requested in writing by the Successor Administrative Agent and unless the Initial Administrative Agent has been afforded indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it prior to taking any such action or exercising any such right, power or privilege; provided, however, that the Initial Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that is in violation of the Amended Credit Agreement or applicable laws, rules or regulations or that the Initial Administrative Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, could subject the Initial Administrative Agent to any liability.  The Initial Administrative Agent 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 reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by an authorized representative of the Successor Administrative Agent.  The Initial Administrative Agent may consult with its legal counsel, 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.
(iii)    Each Lender party hereto and the Parent hereby consents to all actions taken by the Initial Administrative Agent and the Successor Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4(c) to the extent same are in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Amended Credit Agreement.
(d)    Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Amendment Effective Date, unless the context shall otherwise require, all references in any Loan Document to Wells Fargo, as Administrative Agent, shall be deemed to refer to Mizuho, as Administrative Agent.
SECTION 5.  Effect of Amendment; Reaffirmation; Etc.  (a) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment and the amendments to the Credit Agreement effected hereby shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agents under the Amended Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement as amended pursuant to this Amendment or any other provision of the 

3
#91082808v15

    
    

Credit Agreement as amended pursuant to this Amendment or of any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Parent acknowledges and agrees that each Loan Document to which it is a party is hereby confirmed and ratified and shall remain in full force and effect according to its respective terms (in the case of each Loan Document, as amended pursuant to this Amendment and any applicable Amendment prior to the date hereof).
(b)    From and after the Amendment Effective Date, immediately following the consummation of the transactions described in Sections 2 and 3, each reference to (x) the “Credit Agreement” in each Loan Document shall refer to the Amended Credit Agreement and (y) the “Loan Documents” shall, after the Amendment Effective Date, include the Amended Credit Agreement, as it may be further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms.  From and after the Amendment Effective Date, this Amendment shall be a Loan Document.

(b)    the Parent has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize its execution and performance under this Amendment such that this Amendment constitutes valid and legally binding obligations of the Parent, subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law); and 
(c)    no Event of Default, no Potential Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing on and as of the Amendment Effective Date, both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to the Amendment.
SECTION 7.  Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall become effective on the date (the “Amendment Effective Date”) when each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:
(a)    the Successor Administrative Agent shall have received from the Parent, the Initial Administrative Agent, the Successor Administrative Agent, and the Required Lenders either (i) a counterpart of this Amendment signed on behalf of such party or (ii) written evidence satisfactory to the Successor Administrative Agent (which may include telecopy or electronic transmission of a signed signature page of this Amendment) that such party has signed a counterpart of this Amendment;
(b)    the Successor Administrative Agent shall have received from Wells Fargo written confirmation (which may be via email) that Wells Fargo has received the Wells Payment Amount (and Wells Fargo agrees to promptly deliver such confirmation upon its receipt of the Wells Payment Amount);
(c)     (i) the Administrative Agents shall have received all fees and expenses due and payable on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, to the extent invoiced at least two Business Days prior to the Amendment Effective Date, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agents (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel (which shall be limited to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP), as counsel to the

Administrative Agents) and (ii) the Successor Administrative Agent shall have received the fees in the amounts as set forth in a separate fee letter between the Parent and Mizuho;
(d)    the Successor Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date, all documentation and other information about the Parent required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act, that has been requested in writing at least 5 Business Days prior to the Amendment Effective Date;

SECTION 9.  Counterparts.  This Amendment 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.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Amendment.
SECTION 10.  Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party hereto waives the right to trial by jury in any action, suit or proceeding by any person arising from or relating to this agreement or any other loan documents or any statement, course of conduct, act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith (collectively, “Related Litigation”). In addition, the Parent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a)    Agrees that any Related Litigation by any Issuer or Lender or Administrative Agent may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction sitting in New York county, New York, and submits to the jurisdiction of such courts (but nothing herein shall affect the right of the Parent or any Administrative Agent or Issuer, Lender or Borrower to bring any action, suit or proceeding in any other forum);
(b)    Waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any related litigation brought in any such court, waives any claim that any such related litigation has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and waives any right to object, with respect to any related litigation brought in any such court, that such court does not have jurisdiction over the Parent; and
(c)    Consents and agrees to service of any summons, complaint or other legal process in any related litigation by registered or certified u.s. mail, postage prepaid, to the Parent at the address for notices described in Section 12.05 of the Credit Agreement, and consents and agrees that such service shall constitute in every respect valid and effective service (but nothing herein shall affect the validity or effectiveness of process served in any other manner permitted by law).

P.O. BOX 1330 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77251-1330 U.S.A. PH. (832)636-1000 

 
  
 

 
 PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL 

[DATE] 
 Dear
: 
 The Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (the
“Company”) has made an Award of Nonqualified Options (“Options”) to you under the Company’s 2012 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”). This Options Award is subject
to all terms and conditions of the Plan, the summary of the Plan (the “Plan Summary”) and the provisions of this Award Agreement. Unless defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning assigned to them under the Plan. The Plan and
Plan Summary are available on the Anadarko intranet website at the following address: [internal website address]. 

Effective [Grant Date] (“Grant Date”), you have been granted Options to buy shares of Common Stock
(“Shares”) at $ per Share. Provided you remain employed by the Company until [●], [●] of this Award will vest on [●] (collectively, the “Vesting Schedule”). All unexercised Options shall expire seven years from
Grant Date, or on [date]. 
 Upon vesting, the Options may be exercised in whole or in part by notifying the
Company’s Stock Plan Administrator or Corporate Secretary at the Company’s corporate headquarters. Such notice shall be in the form specified by the Company. Payments of all amounts due (e.g., Purchase Price and applicable withholding
taxes) shall be made by check payable to the Company, unless the Company has provided that such amounts may be satisfied in the following manner: (i) all or a portion of the Purchase Price may be paid by delivery of Shares of Common Stock
having an aggregate Fair Market Value (valued as of the date of exercise) that is equal to the amount of cash that would otherwise be required; or (ii) you may pay the Purchase Price by authorizing a third party to sell Shares (or a sufficient
portion of the Shares) acquired upon exercise of the Options and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Purchase Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise. No Shares shall be issued or
delivered until full payment of the Purchase Price and applicable withholding taxes, if any, have been made. 
 Unexercised
Options shall expire and be forfeited (without value) to the Company in the event of your termination of employment, unless otherwise provided below: 

 [●] 

For purposes of this Award Agreement, you shall be considered to be in the employment of the Company as long as you remain an
employee of either the Company, a Subsidiary (determined without regard to whether the Plan Administrator has designated the entity as a Subsidiary for purposes of the Plan), or a corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such corporation assuming or
substituting new options for the Options. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, it is expressly provided that you shall be considered to have terminated employment with the Company at the time of the termination of the
“Subsidiary” status under the Plan of the entity or other organization that employs you. Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment, and the cause of such termination, shall be determined by the
Plan Administrator and its determination shall be final. 
 Except as provided in the Plan, 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 subject to the
Options prior to the date such Shares are exercised and issued to you. 
 If the Company is required to prepare an
accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, and if you knowingly engaged in the misconduct, were grossly negligent with
respect to such misconduct, or knowingly or grossly negligently failed to prevent the misconduct (whether or not you are one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), the Plan
Administrator may determine that you shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of an Award earned or accrued during the twelve-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement or any other agreement between you and the Company to the contrary,
including, without limitation, any provisions that prevent the Company from unilaterally amending this Award Agreement, you acknowledge that the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) has the effect of
requiring certain officers of the Company to repay the Company, and for the Company to recoup from such officers, erroneously awarded amounts of incentive-based compensation. If the Act, any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any similar federal or state law requires the Company to recoup any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation (including stock options and any other equity-based awards) that the Company has paid or
granted to you, you hereby agree, even if you have terminated your employment with the Company, to promptly repay such erroneously awarded incentive compensation to the Company upon its written request. This obligation shall survive the termination
of this Award Agreement. 

  
 2 

 After your employment relationship with the Company terminates for any
reason, you acknowledge and agree, by accepting the Award Agreement, that you remain subject to the following obligations (“Post-Termination Obligations”), which serve to align your interests with the Company’s long-term business
interests. The following Post-Termination Obligations are reasonably related to the protection of such business interests, including the preservation of the Company’s goodwill and the protection of the confidential information that you have
obtained and will obtain in the course of your future employment with the Company. 
 a.
Non-Disclosure. You will comply with the obligations contained in the Anadarko Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that continue after termination of employment to not disclose or utilize certain
confidential information of the Company and its affiliates as specified therein. As an officer of the Company, the law imposes upon you a duty to safeguard and protect confidential information of the Company and its affiliates. Except as expressly
permitted by this Award Agreement and without limiting the foregoing, you shall not use for your own benefit or the benefit of any person or entity (other than the Company and its affiliates), or disclose to any person or entity (other than the
Company and its affiliates), any information relating to confidential information of the Company or its affiliates made, developed or acquired by or disclosed to you, individually or in conjunction with others, during your employment with the
Company or its affiliates (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on the Company’s premises or otherwise). The non-disclosure requirements set forth in this paragraph (a) are subject
to the provisions of paragraph (e) (“Disclosures”) below. 
 b.
Non-Disparagement. For a term of one (1) year beginning on the last day of your employment with the Company, you shall make no disparaging remarks regarding or relating to Anadarko, its affiliates, or
any employee or director of Anadarko or its affiliates. The non-disparagement requirements set forth in this paragraph (b) are subject to the provisions of paragraph (e) (“Disclosures”) below.

 c. Non-Solicitation. For a term of one (1) year beginning on the last
day of your employment with the Company, you will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, or otherwise attempt to induce, any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates to terminate his or her employment with the Company or such affiliates, or
hire or assist in the hiring of any such employee by any person, association, or entity not affiliated with the Company. 

d. Remedies. Should you violate any Post-Termination Obligation, you will not thereafter be entitled to exercise any of
the Options that have not yet been exercised (whether or not vested) and such Options shall be forfeited (without value) to the Company immediately as of the date that you violate such Post-Termination Obligation. If your violation of any
Post-Termination Obligation is not discovered until after any such Options have been exercised, the Company may require you to return to it all Shares that were the subject of such exercise, or the monetary value of such Shares. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of a Post-Termination Obligation by you. The Company shall be entitled as a matter of right to specific performance of the Post-Termination Obligations, including entry of an
ex parte temporary restraining order in state or federal court, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against activities in violation of this Award Agreement, or both, or other appropriate judicial remedy, writ or order, in any court of
competent jurisdiction, restraining any violation or further violation of such agreements by you or others acting on your 

  
 3 

 
behalf, without any showing of irreparable harm and without any showing that the Company does not have adequate remedy at law. The remedies specified herein shall not be construed as limiting the
remedies available to the Company and shall be in addition to all other remedies available to the Company at law and in equity. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of the Post-Termination Obligations is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, unenforceable, or void, and not correctable through modification, then such provision, covenant, or condition (or portion thereof) may be severed and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Award
Agreement shall not in any way be affected, impaired or invalidated. 
 e. Disclosures. Nothing in this Award
Agreement will prevent you from making disparaging remarks or disclosing Company confidential and proprietary information when compelled to do so by law or when such communications are intended to comply with any federal or state whistleblower
statute including, but not limited to, information provided in a manner described in Section 21F(h)(1)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 78u-6(h)(1)(A). Nothing in this
Award Agreement will prevent you from: (i) making a good faith report of possible violations of applicable law to any governmental agency or entity or (ii) making disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of
applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prevent you from making a disclosure of a trade secret that: (A) is made (1) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or
to an attorney; and (2) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Further,
an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer of reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the
individual (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
