 Apache Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan 
 Fourth Amendment Not Covered by
the 2010 Determination Letter 
 Apache Corporation (“Apache”) sponsors the Apache Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the
“Plan”). In section 10.4 of the Plan, Apache reserved the right to amend the Plan from time to time. Apache hereby exercises that right, (1) by modifying section 6.5(c)(i)(A) to reflect the revised statutory provision on deductible
medical expenses, and (2) by eliminating the last sentence of section 6.5(c)(i), both effective as of January 1, 2012, so that section 6.5(c)(i) now states: 
  

	 	(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.

 Exhibit 10.38 
 APACHE CORPORATION 
 DEFERRED DELIVERY PLAN 

As Amended and Restated February 5, 2013 

 APACHE CORPORATION 

DEFERRED DELIVERY PLAN 

Apache established this Plan effective as of February 10, 2000. Apache is now amending and restating the Plan in its entirety effective as of
February 5, 2013. 
 Apache intends for this Plan to provide a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company
with the opportunity to defer income, and, in conjunction with the 2007 and 2011 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plans, to be appropriately rewarded when Apache’s shares increase in value, to induce such employees to remain in the employ of the
Company, and to reward those employees for their valuable services to the Companies. 
 Apache intends that the Plan not be treated as a
“funded” plan for purposes of either the Code or ERISA. Apache also intends for this Plan to comply with the requirements of Code §409A, and the Plan shall be interpreted in that light. 

ARTICLE I    DEFINITIONS 
  

	1.01	Definitions 

 Defined
terms used in this Plan shall have the meanings set forth below: 
  

	 	(a)	“Account” means the memorandum account maintained for each Participant that is credited with all Participant Deferrals and any contributions by the Company.
Each Participant’s Account is divided into subaccounts, as determined by the Committee, and in general each award or deferral will be allocated to its own subaccount. 

 

	 	(b)	“Apache” means Apache Corporation or any successor thereto. 

  

	 	(c)	“Affiliated Entity” means any legal entity that is treated as a single employer with Apache pursuant to Code §414(b), §414(c), §414(m), or

	 	(f)	“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any reference to a particular section of the Code or the regulations issued thereunder shall be
treated as a reference to any successor section.

administered by “non-employee directors” (as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

	 	(j)	“Compensation” means amounts deferrable under this Plan, as determined by the Committee. “Election Agreement” means an agreement made by an eligible

Reporting System for a particular date or, if the Stock is not so listed on such date, as reported on NASDAQ or on such other exchange or electronic trading system which, on the date in question, reports the largest number of traded shares of Stock,
provided, however, that if on the date Fair Market Value is to be determined there are no transactions in the 

  
 Page 1 of 14

	 	
Stock, Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the immediately preceding date on which there were transactions in the Stock; provided further, however, that if the
foregoing provisions are not applicable, the fair market value of a share of the Stock as determined by the Committee by the reasonable application of such reasonable valuation method, consistently applied, as the Committee deems appropriate. For
purposes of the foregoing, a valuation prepared in accordance with any of the methods set forth in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv)(B)(2), consistently used, shall be rebuttably presumed to result in a reasonable valuation. This
definition is intended to comply with the definition of “fair market value” contained in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv) and should be interpreted consistently therewith. 

 

	 	(m)	“Participant” means any eligible employee selected to participate in the Plan.

domicile. 

  

	 	(s)	“Stock” means the $0.625 par value common stock of Apache.

Plan. The assets of any such Trust remain subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency.

 ARTICLE II    ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 
  

	2.01	Eligibility and Participation 

 The Committee shall from time to time in its sole discretion select those employees of the Company who are eligible to participate in the Plan from among a select group of management or highly compensated
employees. 
  

	2.02	Election 

 Participants
shall complete the election procedures specified by the Committee. The election procedures may include form(s) for the Participant to designate a Beneficiary, elect Participant Deferrals by entering into an Election Agreement with the Company,
select a payment option for the eventual distribution of his Account or any subaccount, and provide such other information as the Committee may reasonably require. 

  
 Page 2 of 14

	2.03	Failure of Eligibility 

The Committee shall have the authority to determine that a Participant is no longer eligible to participate in the Plan. When a
Participant becomes ineligible, all outstanding Election Agreements shall be cancelled. The determination of the Committee with respect to the termination of participation in the Plan shall be final and binding on all parties affected thereby. Any
benefits vested hereunder at the time the Participant becomes ineligible to continue participation shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article V. 
 ARTICLE III    CONTRIBUTION DEFERRALS 
  

	3.01	Participant Deferrals 

  

	 	(a)	General. A Participant may elect to defer a portion of his Compensation by filing the appropriate Election Agreement with the Committee’s designee. The
Committee has complete discretion to establish procedures for the completion of Election Agreements, including the acceptable forms and formats of the deferral election. The Committee has complete discretion to establish the election periods during
which Participants may make Election Agreements, within the bounds described in subsection (b). The Committee may establish different election periods for different types of Compensation, different grants of Compensation, or different groups of
Participants. 

  

	 	(b)	Deadlines for Election Agreements. 

  

	 	(i)	Election Period. In order to make Participant Deferrals, a Participant must submit an Election Agreement during the election period established by the Committee.
The election period must precede the Plan Year in which the services giving rise to the Compensation are performed, except in the following situations. 

  

	 	(A)	Performance-Based Compensation. If the Compensation is “performance-based compensation based on services performed over a period of at least 12 months”
(within the meaning of Code §409A(a)(4)(B)(iii)), the election period must end at least six months before the end of the performance period. 

  

	 	(B)	New Participant. The election period for a new Participant must end no later than 30 days after he became eligible to participate in the Plan; the new
Participant’s initial Election Agreement may only apply to Compensation for which he has not yet performed any services. However, a Participant who has a lapse in eligibility to participate in the Plan can only use this special 30-day election
when he again becomes eligible to accrue benefits (other than investment earnings), (1) on the date of his new eligibility if he has received a complete payout of his benefits from his prior episode of participation, or (2) if his lapse in
eligibility was at least 24 months in duration. 

  

	 	(C)	Unvested Deferrals. The election period for any Compensation that is subject to the condition that the Participant continue to provide services for Apache and
Affiliated Entities for at least 12 months, such as many grants of restricted stock units, must end within 30 days of the date the Compensation is awarded, provided that (1) the award does not vest for 12 months following the end of the
election period, (2) no event other than the Participant’s death or disability (within the meaning of Code §409A(2)(C)), or a Change of Control can cause vesting within the 12 months following the end of the election period, and
(3) if the Participant’s death or disability, or the Change of Control occurs before the first anniversary of the end of the election period, the Election Agreement shall be cancelled. 

 

	 	(ii)	 Duration of and Cancellation of Election Agreements. The Committee has full discretion to determine which Compensation is subject to each
Election Agreement. The Election Agreement becomes irrevocable by the Participant at the end of the election period. The Committee shall determine, at the time the Election Agreement is made, the circumstances in which the Election

  
 Page 3 of 14

	 	
Agreement shall be cancelled, such as upon the Participant’s disability (within the meaning of Code §409A(a)(2)(A)(ii)) or upon a Change of Control. An Election Agreement is not
affected by a hardship withdrawal from the Non-Qualified Retirement/Savings Plan of Apache Corporation. However, if the Participant takes a hardship withdrawal from the Apache Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan, all outstanding Election Agreements that
apply to Compensation that would have been paid to the Participant within six months after the hardship withdrawal (if the Election Agreements had not been in effect) shall be cancelled and no further Participant Deferrals made pursuant to such
Election Agreements. 

  

	3.02	Company Deferrals 

 Upon
prior approval of the Committee, the Company may credit any amount to a Participant’s Account at any time. 
 ARTICLE
IV    INVESTMENT OF DEFERRALS AND ACCOUNTING; VOTING 
  

	4.01	Investments 

 All amounts
credited to a Participant’s Account shall be invested in Stock Units, with the number of Stock Units determined using the Fair Market Value of the Stock for the date as of which the amount is credited to the Participant’s Account. Amounts
equal to any cash dividends declared on the Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as of the payment date for such dividend in proportion to the number of Stock Units in the Participant’s Account as of the record date for
such dividend. Such dividend amounts shall be invested in Stock Units, with the number of Stock Units determined using the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the dividend payment date, and such Stock Units shall vest pursuant to section 5.01. Nothing
contained in this section shall be construed to require the Company or the Committee to fund any Participant’s Account. 
  

	4.02	Voting 

 Participants
shall have no right to vote any Stock Units prior to the date on which such Stock Units are subject to distribution and shares of Stock are issued therefor. 
 ARTICLE V    DISTRIBUTIONS 
  

	5.01	Vesting 

  

	 	(a)	General. Each award of Compensation to a Participant shall vest in accordance with the terms of the award, which are determined by the Committee. Upon the death
or disability of a Participant, the award shall specify whether no vesting occurs, whether the next tranche or some other portion of the award vests, or whether the entire award vests. 

 

	 	(b)	Termination for Cause. If the employment of the Participant is terminated for cause as determined by the Company, the Participant’s entire Account balance,
whether vested or not, shall be forfeited immediately. For this purpose, “cause” shall mean a gross violation, as determined by the Company, of the Company’s established policies and procedures. 

 

	 	(c)	Earnings. Stock Units attributable to dividend amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall vest as the Stock Units on which the dividend amounts are
calculated vest. 

  

	 	(d)	Change of Control. If a change of control, within the meaning of Apache’s Income Continuance Plan or any successor plan, of Apache occurs, all unvested
Stock Units credited to Participants’ Accounts shall become automatically vested, without further action by the Committee or Apache’s board of directors. 

 

	5.02	Payouts of Company Deferrals. 

  

	 	(a)	Timing of Payout. The Committee may specify the timing of the distribution of any grant of Company Deferrals, or the Committee may allow a Participant to make a
payout election for his Company Deferrals. If the Participant is given the opportunity to make a payout election, the deadline for the election is 30 days after the grant of a Company Deferral unless the Committee specifies an earlier deadline.

  
 Page 4 of 14

	 	(b)	Payout Alternatives. A Participant shall receive a lump sum distribution of the subaccount(s) containing Company Deferrals six months after he Separates from
Service, unless the Committee permits him to elect five installments and he so elects, in which case the first installment will be paid six months after his Separation from Service, or as soon as convenient after that date, and subsequent
installments will be paid on the anniversary of the first installment, or as near to that date as is administratively convenient. 

  

	 	(c)	Death or Change of Control. If there is a Change of Control or the Participant dies before receiving all installments, the remaining vested benefits shall be
paid as specified in section 5.04 or 5.05, rather than as provided for in this section. 

  

	 	(d)	Disability. Each award of Compensation will specify whether the Participant’s disability (which shall fall within the meaning of the term in Code
§409A(a)(2)(A)(ii)) will trigger a payout and when such payout(s) shall occur. 

  

	 	(e)	Small Accounts. See section 5.03(d) for payouts of small accounts. 

  

	5.03	Payouts of Participant Deferrals 

  

	 	(a)	Election. Each subaccount containing Participant Deferrals shall be paid in a lump sum six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service unless the
Committee, in its sole discretion, allows a Participant to elect, and the Participant does elect, to have the Participant Deferrals under an Election Agreement paid to him in one of the following manners. Any payout election that the Participant is
permitted make with respect to deferrals pursuant to an Election Agreement must be made by the end of the election period for that Election Agreement. The Committee has the discretion to reduce the possible payout alternatives from the three
identified below. 

  

	 	(i)	In-Service Withdrawal, Single Payment. The subaccount for Participant Deferrals from an Election Agreement will be paid in a lump sum five years after the Stock
Units vest, or as near to that date as is administratively convenient. For example, if the Stock Units under a particular Election Agreement vest over four years, the Participant will receive four annual lump sums. If the Participant Separates from
Service before receiving all lump sums with respect to an Election Agreement, (A), if a lump sum is scheduled to be paid during the six months after the Separation from Service, it will be paid as scheduled, and (B) if any lump sum is scheduled
to be paid more than six months after the Separation from Service, it will instead be paid 6 months after his Separation from Service, or as soon thereafter as is administratively convenient. 

 

	 	(ii)	In-Service Withdrawal, Limited Installments. This payout alternative is available only if all Stock Units relating to an Election Agreement either are vested at
the time of the Election Agreement or are scheduled to vest on a single date; thus, for example, this alternative is not available for a restricted stock unit award where vesting is scheduled to occur over four years. The benefits will be paid in
five annual installments, with the first installment paid five years after the Stock Units vest (or, if vested when granted, five years after the date of the grant), or as near to that date as is administratively convenient. Subsequent installments
are paid on the anniversary of the first installment or as near to that date as is administratively convenient. The amount of each installment is equal to the number of remaining Stock Units associated the Election Agreement, divided by the number
of remaining installments, rounded down to the nearest whole Stock Unit, except that the last installment is equal to the number of remaining vested Stock Units, with any fractional share paid in cash. If the Participant Separates from Service
before receiving all installments with respect to an Election Agreement, (A), any installment payment scheduled to be paid during the six months after the Separation from Service will be paid as scheduled, and (B) any remaining installment(s)
will instead be paid in a lump sum 6 months after his Separation from Service, or as soon thereafter as is administratively convenient. 

  

	 	(iii)	 No In-Service Withdrawal. The subaccount for the Participant Deferrals from each Election Agreement will be paid out in a single payment or in
five annual installments. The single payment or the first installment payment will be paid six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service or as soon thereafter as is administratively convenient; subsequent

  
 Page 5 of 14

	 	
installments will be paid on each anniversary of the first installment, or as near thereto as administratively convenient. Each installment will be equal to the balance in the subaccount measured
as short a period of time before the installment is paid as is administratively convenient, divided by the number of remaining annual installments, rounded down to the nearest whole Stock Unit, except that the last installment shall be equal to the
number of remaining Stock Units, with any fractional share paid in cash. 

  

	 	(b)	Existing Elections. If a Participant made an Election Agreement before 2009 for an award that vested over more than one year and the Participant elected to defer
such amounts for five years after vesting occurred with each amount paid in five installments, the payments scheduled to be made on or after January 1, 2009 will, in spite of the Participant’s previous election, be paid a lump sum on the
fifth anniversary of date of the date such Stock Units vested, or, if later, in January of 2009. If the Participant Separates from Service before receiving all lump sums with respect to an Election Agreement, (i) if a lump sum is scheduled to
be paid during the six months after the Separation from Service, it will be paid as scheduled, and (ii) if any lump sum is scheduled to be paid more than six months after the Separation from Service, it will instead be paid in January 2009 or
if later six months after his Separation from Service, or as soon thereafter as is administratively convenient 

  

	 	(c)	Death or Change of Control. If there is a Change of Control or the Participant dies before receiving all vested Stock Units, the remaining vested Stock Units
shall be paid as specified in section 5.02(d), 5.04, or 5.05, rather than as originally scheduled. 

  

	 	(d)	Small Accounts. If the Fair Market Value of a Participant’s vested Account six months after he Separates from Service is less than $100,000, he shall
receive a lump sum payment of the vested Account balance six months after the Separation from Service or as soon thereafter as is administratively convenient. 

 

	5.04	Distributions After Participant’s Death 

 This section applies once a Participant dies. 
  

	 	(a)	Immediate Payment. When a Participant dies, his remaining vested Account balance shall be paid to each beneficiary in one lump sum four months after the
Participant’s death, which should give each beneficiary adequate time to decide whether to disclaim. However, no payment may be made before the Committee’s designee has been furnished with proof of death and such other information as it
may reasonably require, including information needed for tax reporting purposes. Such distribution shall be paid in whole shares of Stock, with any fractional shares paid in cash. 

 

	 	(b)	Designating Beneficiaries. Each Participant shall designate one or more persons, trusts, or other entities as his Beneficiary to receive any amounts
distributable hereunder after the Participant’s death, by furnishing the Committee with a beneficiary designation form. In the absence of an effective Beneficiary designation as to part or all of a Participant’s interest in the Plan, such
amount will be distributed to the Participant’s surviving Spouse, if any, otherwise to the Participant’s estate. Unless the Participant’s beneficiary designation form specifies otherwise, if a Beneficiary dies after the Participant
but before being paid by the Plan, the Plan shall pay the Beneficiary’s estate. 

  

	 	(c)	Changing Beneficiaries. A beneficiary designation may be changed by the Participant at any time and without the consent of any previously designated Beneficiary.
However, if the Participant is married, his Spouse shall be his Beneficiary unless such 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’s designee. If a Participant has designated his Spouse as a Beneficiary or as a contingent Beneficiary, and the Participant and that Spouse subsequently divorce, then the former Spouse will be treated as having
pre-deceased the Participant for purposes of interpreting a beneficiary designation form completed prior to the divorce; this sentence shall apply only if the Committee’s designee is informed of the divorce 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 applicable state law and Code §2518(b). The legal guardian of a minor or legally incompetent person may disclaim for such 

  
 Page 6 of 14

	 	
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 Participant. 

  

	5.05	Change of Control 

  

	 	(a)	Former Employees. 

  

	 	(i)	Separated More than Six Months. Each Participant who is not a “specified employee” (defined below) and each Participant who Separated from Service more
than six months before the date of a Change of Control, including those who are already receiving installment payments, will be paid a single payment of his entire remaining vested Account balance on the date of the Change of Control or as soon
thereafter as is administratively practicable. 

  

	 	(ii)	Recent Separations. Each Participant who is a specified employee and who Separated from Service less than six months before the Change of Control occurred will
be paid a single payment of his entire Account balance six months after his Separation from Service, or as soon thereafter as is administratively practicable. 

 

	 	(iii)	Specified Employee. The term “specified employee” has the same meaning as the term “specified employee” in Code §409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and
is determined using the default rules in the regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued pursuant to Code §409A. 

  

	 	(b)	Current Employees. Each Participant who is an employee on the date of a Change of Control will be paid a lump sum of his entire vested Account balance on the
date of the Change of Control or as soon thereafter as is administratively practicable. 

  

	5.06	Rehires. If a Participant Separated from Service and then becomes eligible to again accrue benefits, the payment of his benefits from his first episode of
participation will not be affected by his subsequent participation. He will be treated as a new Participant for making payout elections for benefits accruing during his second episode of participation, except as otherwise provided in section 3.01.

  

	5.07	Form of Distribution. Subject to section 5.08, each payment shall be made in whole shares of Stock, with each Stock Unit being converted into one share of Stock.
Any fractional Stock Units will be converted into cash based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the day preceding the day the payment is processed. Upon a change of control as defined in the Income Continuance Plan or its successor, the
payment for each Stock Unit shall be one share of Stock unless the material characteristics of the Stock were affected by the Change of Control, in which case the payment for each Stock Unit shall be in the form of cash equal to the fair market
value, determined as of the date of the Change of Control, of the property an Apache shareholder receives upon the change of control in exchange for one of his Shares. 

 

	5.08	Withholding 

 At the time
of vesting or payment, as applicable, either the recipient shall pay the Plan cash sufficient to cover the required withholding or the Plan shall withhold from such payment any taxes or other amounts that are required to be withheld pursuant to any
applicable law; any Stock Units withheld shall be converted into cash based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock (a) on the day preceding the day the payment is processed or (b) on the day the vesting occurs. 

 

	5.09	Divorce 

  

	 	(a)	General. If a Participant has divorced his Spouse, all or a portion of his Account may be allocated to his former Spouse. The Participant may be a former or
current employee of the Company.  

  

	 	(b)	 Contents of Order. The allocation will occur as soon as practicable after the Plan receives a judgment, decree, or order (collectively, an
“order”) that (i) is made pursuant to a state domestic relations law or community property law, (ii) relates to the marital property rights of the former Spouse, (iii) unambiguously specifies the amount or percentage of the
Participant’s Account that is to be allocated to the former Spouse, or unambiguously specifies the manner in which the amount or percentage is to be calculated, (iv) does not allocate any benefits that have already been allocated to a
different former 

  
 Page 7 of 14

	 	
Spouse, (v) contains the name and last known mailing address of the Participant and eh former Spouse, (vi) the name of the Plan, (vii) does not contain any provision that violates
subsections (c), (d), or (e), and (viii) contains the former Spouse’s Social Security number (or other similar taxpayer identification number) unless such number has been provided by the former Spouse to the Plan in a manner acceptable to
the Committee. 

  

	 	(c)	Payout Provisions. The vested portion of the amount allocated to the former Spouse will be paid to the former Spouse in a single payment as soon as
administratively practicable after (i) the Plan has determined that the order meets the requirements of subsection (b), (ii) the Plan has communicated its interpretation of the order to the Participant and former Spouse, and given them a
reasonable amount of time (such as 30 days) to object to the Plan’s interpretation, (and if there is a timely objection, the parties must submit a revised order or withdraw their objections), and (iii) the parties agree to the Plan’s
interpretation of the order. 

  

	 	(d)	Not Fully Vested. If the former Spouse is allocated any unvested amounts, the Plan will establish a separate account for the former Spouse. Unvested amounts are
forfeited at the same time as the Participant’s unvested amounts are forfeited. If an amount allocated to the former Spouse subsequently become vested, the newly-vested amount will be paid to the former Spouse in a single payment as soon as
administratively practicable following the additional vesting. If the former Spouse dies before award is fully vested, the unvested amounts shall be returned to the Participant’s Account. 

 

	 	(e)	Source of Funds. The order may specify which subaccounts the former Spouse’s benefits shall be taken from; if the order is silent on this matter, the amount
awarded to the former Spouse shall be taken from the Participant’s subaccounts in the order determined by the Committee and shall be taken on a pro rata basis from the vested portion of the Account and the unvested portion.

  

	5.10	Timing of Payments 

 The
previous sections in this Article specify when payments will be made pursuant to the Plan, and generally provide the Plan with some flexibility, for example by providing that the payment will occur on a specific date or as near to that date as is
administratively convenient. Notwithstanding such flexibility, any payment that is scheduled to occur in one calendar year shall occur in that calendar year. 
  

	5.11	Administrative Delays in Payments 

 The Committee may delay any payment from this Plan for as short a period as is administratively necessary. For example, a delay may be imposed upon all payments when there is a change of recordkeeper or
trustee, and a delay may be imposed on payments to any recipient until the recipient has provided (a) the information needed to determine the appropriate tax withholding and tax reporting and (b) any other information reasonably requested
by the Committee. If possible, the delay will satisfy one of the conditions to be considered a permissible delay under Code §409A. 
  

	5.12	Noncompliance with Code §409A 

 To the extent that the Company or the Committee takes any action that causes a violation of Code §409A or fails to take any reasonable action required to comply with Code §409A, Apache shall pay
an additional amount (the “gross-up”) to the individual(s) who are subject to the penalty tax under Code §409A(a)(1); the gross-up will be sufficient to put the individual in the same after-tax position he would have been in had there
been no violation of Code §409A. The Company shall not pay a gross-up if the cause of the violation of Code §409A is the due to the recipient’s action or due to the recipient’s failure to take reasonable actions (such as failing
to timely provide the information required for tax withholding or failing to timely provide other information reasonably requested by the Committee – with the result that the delay in payment violates Code §409A). Any gross-up will be paid
as soon as administratively convenient after the Committee determines the gross-up is owed, and no later than the end of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the additional taxes are remitted. However, if the gross-up
is due to a tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of a tax liability, the gross-up will be paid as soon as administratively convenient after the litigation or audit is completed, and no later than the end of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and non-appealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation.

 ARTICLE VI    ADMINISTRATION 

 

	6.01	Committee to Administer and Interpret Plan 

 The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have all discretion and powers necessary for administering the Plan, including, but not by way of limitation, full discretion and power
to interpret the Plan, to determine the eligibility, status and rights of all persons under the Plan and, in general, to decide any dispute. The Committee shall direct the Company, the Trustee, or both, as the case may be, concerning distributions
in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The Committee’s designee shall maintain all Plan records except records of any Trust. The Committee may delegate any of its administrative duties to a designee. 

 

	6.02	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. The
Committee may appoint a designee and/or agent (who need not be a member of the Committee or an employee of the Company) to assist the Committee in administration of the Plan and to whom it may delegate such powers as the Committee deems appropriate,
except that the Committee shall determine any dispute. The Committee may make its determinations with or without meetings. The Committee may authorize one or more of its members, designees or agents to sign instructions, notices and determinations
on its behalf. The action of a majority of the Committee’s members shall constitute the action of the Committee. 
  

	6.03	Agent for Process 

Apache’s General Counsel and Apache’s Corporate Secretary shall each be an agent of the Plan for service of all process.

  

	6.04	Determination of Committee Final 

 The decisions made by the Committee shall be final and conclusive on all persons. 

ARTICLE VII    TRUST 
  

	7.01	Trust Agreement 

 The
Company may, but shall not be required to, adopt a separate Trust Agreement for the holding and administration of the funds contributed to Accounts under the Plan. The Trustee shall maintain and allocate assets to a separate account for each
Participant under the Plan. The assets of any such Trust shall remain subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency. 

 

	7.02	Expenses of Trust 

 The
parties expect that any Trust created pursuant to section 7.01 will be treated as a “grantor” trust for federal and state income tax purposes and that, as a consequence, such Trust will not be subject to income tax with respect to its
income. However, if the Trust is separately taxable, the Trustee shall pay all such taxes out of the Trust. All expenses of administering any such Trust shall be a charge against and shall be paid from the assets of such Trust. 

ARTICLE VIII    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 

 

	8.01	Amendment 

 The Plan may
be amended at any time and from time to time, retroactively or otherwise; however, no amendment shall reduce any vested benefit that has accrued on the effective date of such amendment. Each Plan amendment shall be in writing and shall be approved
by the Committee and/or Apache’s Board of Directors. An officer of Apache to whom the Committee and/or Apache’s Board of Directors has delegated the authority to execute Plan amendments shall execute each such amendment or the Plan
document restated to include all such Plan amendment(s). 

  
 Page 9 of 14

 The Committee shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans
as may be necessary or desirable to comply with the provisions of the laws (including, but not limited to, tax laws and regulations) of countries other than the United States in which the Company may operate, so as to assure the viability of the
benefits of the Plan to Participants employed in such countries. In only certain limited circumstances, as described in the Treasury Regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued pursuant to Code §409A, may the termination of a
plan affect the timing of the payment of Plan benefits. 
  

	8.02	Successors and Assigns; Termination of Plan 

 The Plan is binding upon Apache and its successors and assigns. The Plan shall continue in effect from year to year unless and until terminated by Apache’s Board of Directors. Any such termination
shall operate only prospectively and shall not reduce any vested benefit that has accrued on the effective date of such termination. 
 ARTICLE IX    STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 
  

	9.01	Number of Shares 

 Subject
to Section 4.01, and to adjustment pursuant to Section 9.03 hereof, 350,000 shares of Stock (adjusted to 735,000 shares for (i) the Company’s five-percent stock dividend, record date March 12, 2003, paid April 2, 2003,
and (ii) the Company’s two-for-one stock split, record date December 31, 2003, distributed January 14, 2004) are authorized for issuance under the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and subject to such
restrictions or other provisions as the Committee may from time to time deem necessary. This authorization may be increased from time to time by approval of the Board and the stockholders of Apache if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such
stockholder approval is required. Shares of Stock distributed under the terms of the Plan and shares of Stock equal to the number of Stock Units credited to Participants’ Accounts maintained under the Plan shall be applied to reduce the maximum
number of shares of Stock remaining available for use under the Plan. However, shares of Stock represented by any Stock Units related to the deferral of income from any plan for which shares of Stock have been authorized for issuance, such as the
2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, shall retain their authorization under such plan, and shall not be applied to reduce the number of shares of Stock remaining available for use under the Plan. Apache, at all times during the existence of the
Plan and while any Stock Units are credited to Participants’ Accounts maintained under the Plan, shall retain as Stock in Apache’s treasury at least the number of shares from time to time required under the provisions of the Plan, or
otherwise assure itself of its ability to perform its obligations hereunder. 
  

	9.02	Other Shares of Stock 

The shares of Stock represented by any Stock Units from dividend amounts that are forfeited, and any shares of Stock that for any other
reason are not issued to a Participant or are forfeited, shall again become available for use under the Plan. 
  

	9.03	Adjustments for Stock Split, Stock Dividend, Etc. 

 If Apache shall at any time increase or decrease the number of its outstanding shares of Stock or change in any way the rights and privileges of such shares by means of the payment of a Stock dividend or
any other distribution upon such shares payable in Stock, or through a Stock split, subdivision, consolidation, combination, reclassification or recapitalization involving the Stock, then in relation to the Stock that is affected by one or more of
the above events, the numbers, rights and privileges of the following shall be increased, decreased or changed in like manner as if they had been issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable at the time of such occurrence: (a) the
shares of Stock remaining available for use under the Plan; and (b) the shares of Stock then represented by Stock Units credited to Participants’ Accounts maintained under the Plan. 

 

	9.04	Dividend Payable in Stock of Another Corporation, Etc. 

 If Apache shall at any time pay or make any dividend or other distribution upon the Stock payable in securities or other property (except cash or Stock), a proportionate part of such securities or other
property 

  
 Page 10 of 14

 
shall be set aside for Stock Units credited to Participants’ Accounts maintained under the Plan and delivered to any Participant upon distribution pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Prior to
the time that any such securities or other property are delivered to a Participant in accordance with the foregoing, Apache shall be the owner of such securities or other property and shall have the right to vote the securities, receive any
dividends payable on such securities, and in all other respects shall be treated as the owner. If securities or other property which have been set aside by Apache in accordance with this Section are not delivered to a Participant because all or part
of his Stock Units are forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Plan, then the applicable portion of such securities or other property shall remain the property of Apache and shall be dealt with by Apache as it shall determine in its sole discretion.

  

	9.05	Other Changes in Stock 

In the event there shall be any change, other than as specified in Sections 9.03 and 9.04 hereof, in the number or kind of outstanding
shares of Stock or of any stock or other securities into which the Stock shall be changed or for which it shall have been exchanged, and if the Committee shall in its discretion determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the
number or kind of shares (a) remaining available for use under the Plan and/or (b) represented by Stock Units credited to Participants’ Accounts maintained under the Plan, then such adjustments shall be made by the Committee and shall
be effective for all purposes of the Plan. 
  

	9.06	Rights to Subscribe 

 If
Apache shall at any time grant to the holders of its Stock rights to subscribe pro rata for additional shares thereof or for any other securities of Apache or of any other corporation, there shall be reserved with respect to the Stock Units credited
to Participants’ Accounts maintained under the Plan the Stock or other securities which the Participant would have been entitled to subscribe for if immediately prior to such grant the shares of Stock represented by such Stock Units had been
issued and outstanding. If, at the time of distribution under the terms of the Plan, the Participant subscribes for the additional shares or other securities, the price that is payable by the Participant for such additional shares or other
securities shall be withheld from such distribution pursuant to Section 5.08 hereof. 
  

	9.07	General Adjustment Rules 

No adjustment or substitution provided for in this Article IX shall require Apache to sell or otherwise issue a fractional share of Stock.
All benefits payable under the Plan shall be distributed in whole shares of Stock, with any fractional shares paid in cash. 
  

	9.08	Determination by the Committee, Etc. 

 Adjustments under this Article IX shall be made by the Committee, whose determinations with regard thereto shall be final and binding upon all parties thereto. 

ARTICLE X    REORGANIZATION OR LIQUIDATION 
 In the event that Apache is merged or consolidated with another corporation and Apache is not the surviving corporation, or if all or substantially all of the assets or more than 20 percent of the
outstanding voting stock of Apache is acquired by any other corporation, business entity or person, or in case of a reorganization (other than a reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code) or liquidation of the Company, and if the
provisions of Section 9.07 hereof do not apply, the Committee, or the board of directors of any corporation assuming the obligations of the Company, shall, as to the Plan and any Stock Units credited to Participants’ Accounts maintained
under the Plan, either (i) make appropriate provision for the adoption and continuation of the Plan by the acquiring or successor corporation and for the protection of any Stock Units credited to Participants’ Accounts maintained under the
Plan by the substitution on an equitable basis of appropriate stock of Apache or of the merged, consolidated or otherwise reorganized corporation which will be issuable with respect to the Stock, provided that no additional benefits shall be
conferred upon the Participants with respect to such Stock Units as a result of such substitution or (ii) to the extent permitted by the distribution rules under Code §409A, upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all
distributions from the Plan shall be made within a specified number of days of the date of such notice. In the latter event, the Committee shall accelerate the vesting of all unvested Stock Units credited to Participants’ Accounts so that all
such Stock Units become fully vested and, to the extent permitted by the distribution rules under Code §409A, all Stock Units are payable prior to or upon any such event.

 ARTICLE XI    MISCELLANEOUS 

 

	11.01	Funding of Benefits—No Fiduciary Relationship 

 Benefits shall be paid either out of the Trust or, if no Trust is in existence or if the assets in the Trust are insufficient to provide fully for such benefits, then such benefits shall be distributed by
the Company out of its general assets. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to create any fiduciary relationship between the Company and the Participants. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that any person
acquires a right to receive benefits under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company, except to the extent provided in the Trust Agreement, if any. 

 

	11.02	Right to Terminate Employment 

 The Company may terminate the employment of any Participant as freely and with the same effect as if the Plan were not in existence. 

 

	11.03	Inalienability of Benefits 

Except for disclaimers under section 5.04(d) and payments to a former Spouse pursuant to section 5.09, no Participant or Beneficiary has
the right to assign, alienate, pledge, transfer, hypothecate, encumber, or anticipate his interest in any benefits under the Plan, nor are the benefits subject to garnishment by any creditor, nor may the benefits under the Plan be levied upon or
attached. The preceding sentence does 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). 
  

	11.04	Claims Procedure 

  

	 	(a)	General. Each claim for benefits shall be processed in accordance with the procedures that may be 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 be copied on all 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 

  
 Page 12 of 14

	 	
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 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 description of the procedures and deadlines for a second
appeal, if any; a description of the right to obtain information about the second-appeal procedures; 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 an appellate decision made on or before a Change of Control or the three-year anniversary of the date of an appellate decision
made after a Change of Control, or (ii) the date on which the statute of limitations for such claim expires. 

  

	11.05	Disposition of Unclaimed Distributions 

 It is the affirmative duty of each Participant to inform the Plan of, and to keep on file with the Plan, his current mailing address and the mailing address of his Spouse and any Beneficiaries. If a
Participant fails to inform the Plan of these current mailing addresses, neither the Plan nor the Company is responsible for any late payment of benefits or loss of benefits. The Plan, the Committee, and the Company have no duty to search for a
missing individual until the date of a Change of Control, at which point the Company has the duty to undertake reasonable measures to search for the proper recipient of any payment under the Plan that is scheduled to be paid on or after the date of
the Change of Control. If the missing individual is not found within a year after a payment should have been made to him, all his benefits will be forfeited. If the missing individual later is found, the exact number of Stock Units forfeited will be
restored to the Account as soon as administratively convenient, without any adjustment for dividends paid in the interim. 
  

	11.06	Distributions due Infants or Incompetents 

 If any person entitled to a distribution under the Plan is an infant, or if the Committee determines that any such person is incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability, whether or not legally
adjudicated an 

  
 Page 13 of 14

 
incompetent, the Committee shall have the power to cause the distributions becoming due to such person to be made to another for his benefit, without responsibility of the Committee to see to the
application of such distributions. Distributions made pursuant to such power shall operate as a complete discharge of the Company, the Trustee, if any, and the Committee. 

 

	11.07	Addresses 

 Any notice,
form, or election required or permitted to be given under the Plan shall be in writing and shall be given by first class mail, by Federal Express, UPS, or other carrier, by fax or other electronic means, or by personal delivery to the appropriate
party, addressed: 
  

	 	(a)	If to the Company, to Apache Corporation at its principal place of business at 2000 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 100, Houston, Texas 77056-4400 (Attention: Corporate
Secretary) or at such other address as may have been furnished in writing by the Company to a Participant; or 

  

	 	(b)	If to a Participant, at the address the Participant has furnished to the Company in writing. 

 

	 	(c)	If to a Beneficiary or former Spouse, at the address the Participant has furnished to the Company in writing, or at the address the Beneficiary or former Spouse
subsequently provided in writing. 

  

	11.08	Statutory References 

 Any
reference to a specific section of the Code or other statute shall be deemed to refer to the cited section or to the appropriate successor section. 
  

	11.09	Governing Law 

 The Plan
and all Election Agreements shall be construed in accordance with the Code, ERISA (if applicable), and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the State of Texas excluding any conflicts-of-law provisions.
