Form of Grant of Unit Appreciation Rights

Grantee:                                                                                 

Grant Date:                                                             , 200    

     Grant of UARs. Universal Compression Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to you
[___] unit appreciation rights (“UARs”) with respect to Common Units (“Units”) of Universal
Compression Partners, L.P. on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Upon exercise of a
UAR, you will be entitled to receive, as soon as practicable following such exercise, a
payment from the Company in cash equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value (as defined in
the Universal Compression Partners, L.P. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)) of a Unit on
the date of exercise over the exercise price of that UAR as set forth below. Terms used, but
not defined, herein shall have their meaning as set forth in the Plan unless their context
clearly requires otherwise.

     Exercise Price. The exercise price per UAR shall be $                                 , subject to adjustment in
the same manner as the purchase price of an option granted under the Plan may be adjusted.

     Vesting and Exercise of UARs. Subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, the
UARs shall become vested in accordance with the following schedule, and may be exercised by
written notice to the Company at its principal executive office addressed to the attention of
its Secretary (or such other officer or employee of the Company as the Company may designate
from time to time):

	 	 	 
	Vesting Date

	 	Vested Percentage
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	 
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	 

Notwithstanding the above schedule, but subject to the further provisions hereof, upon the
occurrence of the following events, the UARs shall vest and become exercisable or forfeited
as provided below:

     Disability. If your employment with the Company terminates by reason of a disability
that entitles you to benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan, the UARs
shall become fully vested and, subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, may
be exercised at any time during the one-year period following such termination by you
or by your guardian or legal representative (or, if you die during such one-year
period, by your estate or the person who acquires the UARs by will or the laws of
descent and distribution).

1

 

     Death. If you die while in the employ of the Company, the UARs shall become fully
vested and, subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, your estate (or the
person who acquires the UARs by will or the laws of descent and distribution) may
exercise the UARs at any time during the one-year period following the date of your
death.

     Other Terminations. If your employment with the Company is terminated for any
reason other than as provided in paragraphs 3(a) and (b) above, the UARs, to the extent
vested on the date of your termination, may be exercised, subject to the further
provisions of this Agreement, at any time during the three-month period following such
termination by you or by your guardian or legal representative (or by your estate or
the person who acquires the UARs by will or the laws of descent and distribution or
otherwise by reason of your death if you die during such period), but only as to the
vested number of UARs, if any, that you were entitled to exercise hereunder as of the
date your employment so terminates.

     Change of Control. The UARs shall become fully vested upon a Change of Control (as
defined in the Plan).

For purposes of this Agreement, “employment with the Company” shall include being an
Employee or a Director of, or a Consultant to, the Company or an Affiliate. However, if
your UARs are subject to Section 409A of the Code, whether or not your “employment” with the
Company has terminated will be determined in accordance with the regulations issued under
Section 409A.

There is no minimum or maximum number of UARs that must be exercised at any time. Instead,
the UARs may be exercised, at any time and from time to time as provided in this Agreement,
to the extent they are then vested and exercisable according to the provisions of this
Agreement.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the UARs shall not be exercisable in any event after
                     .

All UARs that are not vested on your termination of employment with the Company as provided
above shall be automatically cancelled without payment upon such termination.

     Withholding of Taxes. To the extent that the exercise of a UAR results in the receipt of
compensation by you with respect to which the Company or an Affiliate has a tax withholding
obligation pursuant to applicable law, the Company or the Affiliate shall withhold from
payment such amount of money as the Company or the Affiliate may require to meet its tax
withholding obligations under such applicable law.

     Limitations Upon Transfer. All rights under this Agreement shall belong to you alone and
may not be transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated by you in any way (whether by
operation of law or otherwise), other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and
shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt by you to
transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of such rights

2

 

contrary to the provisions in this Agreement, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar
process upon such rights, such rights shall immediately become null and void.

     Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming under you.

     Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with
regard to the subject matter hereof, and contains all the covenants, promises,
representations, warranties and agreements between the parties with respect to the UARs
granted hereby. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, all prior
understandings and agreements, if any, among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter
hereof are hereby null and void and of no further force and effect.

     Modifications. Except as provided below, any modification of this Agreement shall be
effective only if it is in writing and signed by both you and an authorized officer of the
Company.

     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

     Section 409A. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate or be construed to cause the UARs to
fail to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The
applicable provisions of Section 409A and the regulations thereunder are hereby incorporated
by reference and shall control over any provision herein in conflict therewith.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Grantee have caused this Agreement to be executed effective
as of the day and year first above written.

Exhibit 10.2

Form of Request for Approval of Extension of Maturity Date and Amendment

April 5, 2007

VIA INTRALINKS

THE LENDERS UNDER THE APACHE

CORPORATION 2006 U.S. CREDIT FACILITY

			
	      Re:	 	Apache Corporation 2006 U.S. $1,500,000,000 Five-Year Senior Revolving Credit
Facility

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 9,
2006 (together with all amendments, if any, from time to time made thereto, the “Five-Year
Credit Agreement”), among Apache Corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party
thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”),
and the other agents party thereto. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the
same meanings.

I. Extension of the Credit Facility

     In the March 23, 2007 Annual Certificate of Extension delivered to the Administrative Agent
which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, Borrower requested pursuant to Section 2.6 of the
Credit Agreement the extension of the Maturity Date, and concomitantly the total Commitments under
the Credit Agreement from May 28, 2011 to May 28, 2012. The Borrower hereby certifies that no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement.

     This letter is to confirm that the Lenders hereby agree to the extension of the Maturity Date
under the Credit Agreements and the related Commitments of the Lenders from May 28, 2011 to May 28,
2012.

II. Amendment of the Credit Facility

     The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders hereby agree as follows:

     A. The definition of “Commitment” contained in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is
amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“
“Commitment” means, with respect to each Lender, the commitment of such
Lender to make Revolving Loans, as such commitment may be (a) reduced from time to
time pursuant to Section 2.8, (b) reduced or increased from time to time
pursuant to Section 2.6 or pursuant to assignments by or to such Lender

 

 

 THE LENDERS UNDER THE APACHE

CORPORATION 2006 FIVE-YEAR CREDIT FACILITY

pursuant to Section 10.4, (c) increased from time to time pursuant to
Section 2.21, and (d) terminated pursuant to Sections 4.1,
8.2 or 8.3. The amount of the Commitment represents such Lender’s
maximum Revolving Credit Exposure hereunder. The initial amount of each Lender’s
Commitment is set forth on Schedule 2.1, or in the Assignment and Acceptance
pursuant to which such Lender shall have assumed its Commitment, as applicable, or
in an applicable Notice of Commitment Increase. The initial aggregate amount of the
Lenders’ Commitments is $1,500,000,000.”

     (iii). Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended by inserting the following definitions
of “CI Lender”, “Commitment Increase”, “Commitment Increase Effective
Date”, “New Funds Amount”, “Notice of Commitment Increase”, “Reducing
Percentage Lender” and “Reduction Amount” in appropriate alphabetical order:

“   “CI Lender” is defined in Section 2.21.

     “Commitment Increase” is defined in Section 2.21.

     “Commitment Increase Effective Date” is defined in Section 2.21.

     “New Funds Amount” is defined in Section 2.21.

     “Notice of Commitment Increase” is defined in Section 2.21.”

     “Reducing Percentage Lender” is defined in Section 2.21.

     “Reduction Amount” is defined in Section 2.21.”

     (iv). The Credit Agreement is amended by inserting the following Section 2.21 after
Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement:

“    SECTION 2.21 Increase in Commitments.

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower shall
have the right, without the consent of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, to
cause from time to time an increase in the total amount of the Commitments (a
“Commitment Increase”) by adding to this Agreement one or more additional
financial institutions that are not already Lenders hereunder and that are
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each a “CI Lender”) or
by allowing one or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments;
provided, however, that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred
which is continuing, (ii) no such Commitment Increase shall cause the total amount
of the Commitments to exceed U.S.$2,250,000,000, (iii) no Lender’s Commitment shall
be increased without such Lender’s prior written consent (which consent may be given
or withheld in such Lender’s sole and absolute

discretion) and (iv) if, on the effective date of such increase, any Loans have
been funded, then the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any breakage fees or costs
in connection with the reallocation of such outstanding Loans.

     (b) Any Commitment Increase must be requested by written notice from the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent (a “Notice of Commitment Increase”) in
the form of Exhibit 2.21 attached hereto. Once the Notice of Commitment
Increase is fully-executed, such notice and such Commitment Increase shall be
effective on the proposed effective date set forth in such notice (not less than
five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent) or on another date
agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (such date referred to as the
“Commitment Increase Effective Date”).

     (c) On each Commitment Increase Effective Date, to the extent that there are
Loans outstanding as of such date, (i) each CI Lender shall, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, deliver to the Administrative Agent such CI Lender’s
New Funds Amount, which amount, for each such CI Lender, shall constitute Loans made
by such CI Lender to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement on such Commitment
Increase Effective Date, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, pay to each then Reducing Percentage Lender its
Reduction Amount, which amount, for each such Reducing Percentage Lender, shall
constitute a prepayment by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10, ratably in
accordance with the respective principal amounts thereof, of the principal amounts
of all then outstanding Loans of such Reducing Percentage Lender, and (iii) the
Borrower shall be responsible to pay to each Lender any breakage fees or costs in
connection with the reallocation of any outstanding Loans.

     (d) For purposes of this Section, the following defined terms shall have the
following meanings: (1) “New Funds Amount” means the amount equal to the
product of a Lender’s increased Commitment or a CI Lender’s Commitment (as
applicable) represented as a percentage of the total amount of the Commitments after
giving effect to the Commitment Increase, times the aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Loans immediately prior to giving effect to the Commitment Increase,
if any, as of a Commitment Increase Effective Date (without regard to any increase
in the aggregate principal amount of Loans as a result of borrowings made after
giving effect to the Commitment Increase on such Commitment Increase Effective
Date); (2) “Reducing Percentage Lender” means each then existing Lender
immediately prior to giving effect to the Commitment Increase that does not increase
its respective Commitment as a result of the Commitment Increase and whose relative
percentage of the total amount of the Commitments shall be reduced as a result of
such Commitment Increase; and (3) “Reduction Amount” means the amount by
which a Reducing Percentage Lender’s outstanding Loans decrease as of a Commitment
Increase Effective Date

(without regard to the effect of any borrowings made on such Commitment
Increase Effective Date after giving effect to the Commitment Increase).

     (e) Each Commitment Increase shall become effective on its Commitment Increase
Effective Date and upon such effectiveness (i) the Administrative Agent shall record
in its records the CI Lender’s information as provided in the Notice of Commitment
Increase and pursuant to an Administrative Questionnaire in form satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent that shall be executed and delivered by each CI Lender to the
Administrative Agent on or before the Commitment Increase Effective Date,
(ii) Schedule 2.1 hereof shall be amended and restated to set forth all
Lenders (including any CI Lenders) that will be Lenders hereunder after giving
effect to such Commitment Increase (which shall be set forth in Annex I to the
applicable Notice of Commitment Increase) and the Administrative Agent shall
distribute to each Lender (including each CI Lender) a copy of such amended and
restated Schedule 2.1, and (iii) each CI Lender identified on the Notice of
Commitment Increase for such Commitment Increase shall be a “Lender” for all
purposes under this Agreement.”

     (v). The Credit Agreement hereby is amended by inserting Exhibit 2.21 to this letter
agreement as Exhibit 2.21 to the Credit Agreement following Exhibit I to the Credit Agreement.

     Please indicate your consent to (i) the extension of the Maturity Date under the Credit
Agreements and the related Commitments of the Lenders from May 28, 2011 to May 28, 2012 and (ii) to
the amendments outlined above by having an authorized signatory of your financial institution
execute this letter in the space provided below and returning the executed page by the end of
business on April 23, 2007, (i) via telecopy to Frank Bradley at (713) 238-4700, and (ii) via
courier to: Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw LLP, 700 Louisiana, Suite 3400, Houston, Texas 77002, Attention:
Frank Bradley.

     This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts and all such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same letter.

     By execution hereof, the Administrative Agent acknowledges its consent to the request for
extension and to the amendments outlined above in its capacity as a Lender.
