	 	      (not
including any portion of such payments of
interest accrued to the date of redemption)
discounted to the Redemption Date on a
semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the
applicable Treasury Rate plus 37.5 basis
points

	 
	 	 
	 

	 	plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount being
redeemed to the Redemption Date.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any
Redemption Date: (1) the rate per annum equal
to the yield, under the heading which
represents the average for the immediately
preceding week, appearing in the most recently
published statistical release designated
“H.15(519)” or any successor publication which
is published weekly by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System and which
establishes yields on actively traded U.S.
Treasury securities adjusted to constant
maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant
Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to
the comparable treasury issue (if no maturity
is within three months before or after the
remaining life (as defined below), yields for
the two published maturities most closely
corresponding to the comparable treasury issue
will be determined and the treasury rate will
be interpolated or extrapolated from such
yields on a straight line basis, rounding to
the nearest month); or (2) if such release (or
any successor release) is not published during
the week preceding the calculation date or
does not contain such yields, the rate per
annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield
to maturity of the comparable treasury issue,
calculated using a price for the comparable
treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of
its principal amount) equal to the comparable
treasury price for such Redemption Date.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the date fixed for

 - 2 - 

 

	 	 	 
	 

	 	redemption.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S.
Treasury security selected by an independent
investment banker as having a maturity
comparable to the remaining term (“remaining
life”) of the Notes to be redeemed that would
be utilized, at the time of selection and in
accordance with customary financial practice,
in pricing new issues of corporate debt
securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of such Notes.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	“Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the
average of five reference treasury dealer
quotations for such Redemption Date, after
excluding the highest and lowest reference
treasury dealer quotations, or (2) if the
independent investment banker obtains fewer
than four such reference treasury dealer
quotations, the average of all such
quotations.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	“Independent Investment Banker” means any of
Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. or J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.
(or their respective successors ) as specified
by the Company, or, if these firms are
unwilling or unable to select the comparable
treasury issue, an independent investment
banking institution of national standing
appointed by the Company.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) Barclays
Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. or
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and their
respective successors, provided, however, that
if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a
primary U.S. government securities dealer in
New York City (a “primary treasury dealer”),
the Company will substitute therefor another
primary treasury dealer and (2) any three
other primary treasury dealers selected by the
Company after consultation with the
independent investment banker.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations”

 - 3 - 

 

	 	 	 
	 

	 	means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer
and any Redemption Date, the average, as
determined by the independent investment
banker, of the bid and asked prices for the
comparable treasury issue (expressed in each
case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing to the independent
investment banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third Business Day preceding such
Redemption Date.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Notice of any redemption will be mailed
first-class, postage-prepaid at least 30 days
but not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date to each holder of the Notes to
be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in
payment of the Redemption Price, on and after
the Redemption Date, interest will cease to
accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called
for redemption. If less than all of the Notes
are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed
shall be made pro rata or selected by lot by
the trustee or by such other method as the
trustee deems to be fair and appropriate. If
any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the
notice of redemption that relates to the Note
will state the portion of the principal amount
of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a
principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the Note will be issued in the name
of the holder of the Note upon surrender for
cancellation of the original Note.
	 
	 	 
	Trustee:

	 	Wells Fargo Bank, NA.
	 
	 	 
	Place of Payment:

	 	The Company will make payments due on the
Notes to Cede & Co., as nominee of The
Depository Trust Company, or as otherwise may
be permitted by the Indenture and the Notes.
	 
	 	 
	Global Securities:

	 	The Notes shall be issued as one or more
Global Securities. The Depository Trust
Company shall be the Depository.

	Events of Default:

	 	In an Event of Default, the principal of the Notes may
be declared due and payable in the manner and in the
effect provided in the Indenture.
	 
	 	 
	Settlement:

	 	Payments in respect of principal of and interest on the
Notes shall be made by the Company in immediately
available funds.
	 
	 	 
	Form of Notes:

	 	Attached hereto as Annex A, and incorporated herein by
reference.

Each of the undersigned hereby certify that:

	 	1.	 	I have read Sections 102, 301 and 303 of the Indenture and the definitions in the
Indenture relating thereto.
	 
	 	2.	 	The statements made herein are based either upon my personal knowledge or on
information, data and reports furnished to me by the officers, counsel or employees of the
Company who have knowledge of the relevant facts.
	 
	 	3.	 	In my opinion, I have made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable
me to express an informed opinion as to whether or not all conditions provided for in the
Indenture with respect to the determination of the terms of the Notes and the form thereof,
and the authentication and delivery of the Notes, have been complied with.
	 
	 	4.	 	In my opinion, all conditions precedent to the determination of the terms and form of
the Notes and to the authentication by the Trustee of $900,000,000 aggregate principal
amount thereof have been complied with and such Notes may be delivered in accordance with
the Indenture.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning provided in the Indenture.

     EOG Resources, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware

of The Depository Trust Company, or registered assigns, the principal sum of                      on June 1,
2019 and to pay interest thereon from May 21, 2009 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, in each

December 1, 2009, at the rate of 5.625% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made
available for payment.

     The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment

designated by such Depository.

REVERSE OF SECURITY

     This security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called
the “Securities”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of May
18, 2009 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, NA, as trustee
(herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to
which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (including as supplemented by an
Officers’ Certificate pursuant thereto) reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof.

     The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ notice by
mail, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the election of the Company, at a
redemption price equal to the greater of a) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding to be redeemed; or b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments
of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion of such
payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a
semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable
Treasury Rate plus 37.5 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal amount being redeemed to the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities,
or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record
Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.

     In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this
series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the
Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Securities at
the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each
series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under
the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security
shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and
of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

- 4 -

 

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the
Company on this Security upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein,
which provisions apply to this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall, without the consent of the Holder, alter or impair the right of the Holder, which is
absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of principal of and any premium and interest on this
Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed, except for
Section 113 of the Indenture (which limits interest to the maximum amount permissible by law), the
provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the
principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the
same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a
like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture (including as may be supplemented by an Officers’ Certificate).

     This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the
within-mentioned Indenture.
