value, determined as 
of the 
Severed 
Employee's 
Severance 
Date, 
of 
the 
benefits

Retirement 
Plans 
that

the Severed Employee’s Severance Date (including any additional credited service 
due to the circumstances 
of the Severed Employee’s 
termination) of the benefits 
under 
the

Plans. 
Present 
value

be 
determined 
based 
on

assumptions 
utilized 
under 
the 
ConocoPhillips 
Retirement 
Plan 
for 
purposes 
of 
determining contributions under 
Code section 
412 
for the 
most 
recently 
completed 
plan year. 
No amounts provided under this Section 2.1(b) shall be 
less than zero. 

For the 
avoidance of 
doubt, with 
respect to

Pay 
amount 
determined 
under

subsection 
shall 
be 
the 
amount 
that 
is

present 
value

if 
the 
Severed Employee 
was credited with

pay 
credits 
and interest 
credits 
under the 
Retirement 
Plans as 
of the

Date: (i) 3,

case of

determined 
as

the 
Severed 
Employee’s 
Severance Date of the benefits under the Retirement 
Plans. 

(c)
For 
Severed 
Employees 
actively 
participating 
in 
the 
Company 
Retirement 
Contribution 
Account feature 
of the 
ConocoPhillips Savings 
Plan, as 
that term 
is 
therein defined, the amount that would be the result of the Company Retirement 
Contribution 
Percentage 
multiplied 
by 
the 
Severed 
Employee's 
Credited 
Compensation and (i) 3, 
in the case 
of a Tier 1 
Employee or (ii) 
2, in the case 
of a 
Tier 2 Employee. 

(d)
The amount that is equal to the sum of (i), (ii), and (iii): 
(i)
The 
lesser 
of 
the 
difference 
between 
the 
annual 
COBRA 
participant 
contribution 
amount 
or 
the 
ConocoPhillips 
Retiree 
Medical 
Pre-65 
Plan 
participant 
contribution 
amount, 
as 
applicable, 
and 
the 
annual 
active 
employee contribution 
amount, each 
as of the 
Severance Date, 
based on 
the active medical coverage for which the Severed Employee was enrolled 
as of 
the Severance Date 
multiplied by 
(a) 3, 
in the 
case of 
a Tier 
1 Employee 
or (b) 2, in the case of a Tier 2 Employee. 
For the avoidance of doubt, any 
Severed 
Employee 
or 
dependents 
who 
are 
over 
the 
age 
of 
65 
on 
the 
Severance 
Date 
will 
not 
be 
eligible 
for 
any 
amounts 
under 
this 
section 
2.1(d)(i). 
(ii)
The difference between 
the annual 
COBRA participant 
contribution 
amount 
and 
the 
annual 
active 
employee 
contribution 
amount, 
each 
as 
of 
the 

 

Exhibit 
10.20.1 
10
Severance Date, based 
on the 
active dental coverage 
for which 
the Severed 
Employee was enrolled as of the Severance Date multiplied by (a) 3, in the 
case of a Tier 1 Employee or (b) 2, in the case of a Tier 2 Employee. 
(iii)
The 
difference 
between 
the 
annual 
cost 
to 
maintain 
coverage 
and 
the 
annual active 
employee contribution, each 
as of 
the 
Severance 
Date, 
for the 
company-sponsored 
life 
insurance 
coverage 
(including 
basic, 
executive 
basic, and supplemental) for which the Severed Employee was 
enrolled on 
the Severance Date multiplied by (a) 3, in the case of a Tier 1 Employee 
or 
(b) 2, 
in the 
case of 
a Tier 
2 Employee. 
For the 
avoidance 
of doubt, 
this 
amount 
will 
be 
calculated 
using 
differences 
in 
cost 
ignoring 
any 
limits 
imposed by 
the insurance 
carrier for portability 
and 
conversion 
of coverage. 
Any amounts provided under 
this Section 2.1(d) 
will not be 
adjusted to reflect that 
the Severed Employee’s 
cost will no longer be pre-tax. 
2.2 
Severance Pay (as 
well as 
any amount payable 
pursuant to Section 
2.5 hereof) 
shall 
be 
paid 

to an 
eligible Severed Employee 
in a 
cash lump 
sum on 
the 
first 
business 
day 
immediately 
following 
10 days after 
the end 
of the 
period for 
executing and delivering 
the Severed 
Employee's 
release, 
as 
set forth in Section 2.8. 
2.3 
Upon Change in 
Control, the following shall apply

provide 
otherwise, each 
Eligible Employee shall 
become fully vested 
in such 
equity awards upon 
incurring a 
Severance 
following 
such 
Change 
in 
Control, 
and 
such 
equity 
awards 
shall 
not 
thereafter 
be forfeitable 
for 
any reason 
(except 
that options 
shall expire 
and be 
cancelled ten years from the date of their grant). 
(b)
Any options granted to the Eligible Employee 
shall be exercisable at the times set 
forth 
in 
the 
applicable 
award 
documents. 
Each 
such 
option 
shall 
remain 
outstanding until ten 
years from the 
date of 
grant, 
notwithstanding 
any 
provision 
of 
the option grant 
or any plan 
under which 
the option may 
have been granted to 
the 
contrary. 
(c)
The date 
of distribution 
of any 
stock or 
other value 
from such 
awards shall be 
as 
set 
forth in the applicable terms and conditions of the award. 
2.4 
With regard to any potential 
Excise Tax 
and the avoidance thereof: 
 
(a) 
Anything 
in 
this plan 
to 
the 
contrary 
notwithstanding, 
if any 
Parachute 
Value 
is 
received 
or is 
expected 
to be 
received 
under the 
Plan, then 
prior to 
making any 
payment of Severance 
Pay under this 
Plan, a 
calculation 
shall 
be 
made 
comparing 
(i) 

 

 

Exhibit 
10.20.1 
11
the Net Benefit 
to the Severed Employee 
after payment of the 
Excise Tax to (ii) the 
Net 
Benefit 
to 
the 
Severed 
Employee 
if 
the 
Payments 
are 
limited 
to 
the 
extent 
necessary to avoid being 
subject 
to the Excise Tax. 
If the amount 
calculated under 
clause 
(i) 
above 
is 
less 
than 
the 
amount 
under 
clause 
(ii) 
above, 
Severance 
Pay 
under this 
Plan will 
be reduced 
to the 
minimum extent necessary 
to ensure that 
no 
portion of the Payments is subject 
to the Excise Tax. 
For avoidance of doubt, it is 
intended that, for purposes of reducing the 
Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, 
only amounts payable under this Plan (and no other Payments) shall be reduced.

shall be made by a

there has 
been a Payment, or such 
earlier time as 
is requested by the 
Company. 
All fees and 
expenses 
of 
the 
Accounting 
Firm 
shall 
be 
borne 
solely 
by 
the 
Company. 
Any 
determination by the Accounting Firm 
shall be binding 
upon the Company 
and the 
Eligible Employee. 
2.5 
Each Severed Employee shall be entitled to receive the 
employee's full salary through the 
Severance Date 
and, subject to Section 2.8 but 
notwithstanding any provision 
of the Company's 
Variable

plan to the contrary,

awards are made with

such program or plan in which the Severance Date occurred. 
2.6 
The Company 
will pay 
to each 
Eligible Employee 
all reasonable 
legal fees 
and expenses 
incurred 
by such 
Eligible Employee 
in pursuing 
any claim 
under the 
Plan, unless 
the applicable 
finder of 
fact determines 
that the 
Eligible Employee's 
claim 
was frivolous 
or 
not 
maintained 
in good 
faith. 
2.7 
The Company 
shall be 
entitled to 
withhold and/or 
to cause 
to be 
withheld 
from

receive Severance Pay or 
other 
benefits 
under 
the 
Plan unless 
he or 
she first 
executes a written 
release substantially in 
the form 
attached 
as 
Exhibit A 
hereto (or, if the 
Severed Employee was 
not a 
United States employee, 
a similar 
release 
which 
is 
in 
accordance with the applicable 
laws in the 
relevant jurisdiction) and, to 
the extent such release 
is 
revocable 
by its 
terms, only 
if the 
Severed 
Employee does 
not revoke 
it. 
Such release 
must be 
executed and delivered to 
the Company within 30 days of the Employee’s 
Severance Date.

Directors or, to 
the 
extent 
authorized 
by the 
Board of 
Directors, 
its officers, 
provided 
that any 
such 
amendment which 
shall in 
any manner 
reduce, diminish, 
or otherwise 
adversely 
affect 
any 
benefit 
which 
is 
or 
may 
at 
any 
time 
in 
the 
future 
become 
payable 
hereunder, 
or any 
such amendment 
which shall alter 
the definition 
of Change 
in 
Control, 
shall 
be 
made 
effective 
not 
less 
than 
two 
years 
after 
the 
action 
of 
the 
Company authorizing such 
amendment, unless, and 
then only to the 
extent that, 
such amendment 
is or 
becomes necessary 
in order 
to assure 
continued 
compliance 
by this Plan with any applicable state or federal 
law or regulation. 

 

 

Exhibit 
10.20.1 
13
(b) 
The Company 
may, by action of 
its Board 
of 
Directors, 
terminate 
this 
Plan, 
provided, 
however, 
that 
the 
effective 
date 
of 
such termination 
shall be 
not 
less 
than two 
years 
from 
the 
date 
of 
such 
Board 
action. 
Provided 
further that 
in 
the event 
a 
Change 
in 
Control 
shall 
occur 
prior 
to 
the 
effective 
date 
of 
termination, 
the 
provisions of Section 4.2(c) shall apply. 
(c) 
If 
a 
Change 
in 
Control 
shall 
occur 
while 
this 
Plan 
is 
in 
effect, 
no 
then-pending 
amendment or termination shall 
take effect, this Plan shall 
remain in full 
force and 
effect 
as 
at 
the 
Change 
in 
Control, 
and 
this 
Plan 
shall 
terminate 
automatically 
without further 
action on 
behalf of 
the Company 
immediately 
following 
the 
making 
of all payments to Eligible Employees under this Plan. 
SECTION 5. 
GENERAL PROVISIONS. 
5.1 
Except as otherwise 
provided herein or 
by law, no right 
or interest of 
any Eligible 
Employee 
under 
the 
Plan 
shall 
be 
assignable 
or 
transferable, 
in 
whole 
or 
in 
part, 
either 
directly 
or 
by 
operation 
of 
law 
or 
otherwise, 
including 
without 
limitation 
by 
execution, 
levy, 
garnishment, 
attachment, 
pledge, 
or 
in 
any 
manner; 
no 
attempted 
assignment 
or 
transfer 
thereof 
shall 
be 
effective; 
and no right 
or interest 
of any 
Eligible Employee 
under the 
Plan shall 
be liable 
for, 
or 
subject to, any obligation 
or liability of 
such Eligible 
Employee. 
When a 
payment is due 
under this 
Plan to 
a Severed 
Employee who 
is unable to 
care for 
his or her 
affairs, 
payment may 
be made 
directly to his or her legal guardian or personal representative. 
5.2 
If 
any 
Employer 
is obligated 
by 
law or 
by 
contract 
to pay 
severance 
pay, 
a 
termination 
indemnity, notice pay, or the 
like, to a 
Severed Employee, or 
if any 
Employer is 
obligated by law 
to 
provide advance notice 
of separation ("Notice 
Period") 
to a 
Severed 
Employee, 
then 
any 
Severance 
Pay hereunder to such Severed Employee shall be reduced by the amount of any such severance 
pay, 
termination 
indemnity, 
notice 
pay, 
or 
the 
like, 
as 
applicable, 
and 
by 
the 
amount 
of 
any 
compensation received during 
any Notice 
Period. 
This 
provision 
specifically 
includes 
any 
payments 
or obligations under 
the ConocoPhillips 
Severance Pay Plan, 
as effective on 
the 
Effective Date 
or as 
subsequently amended, or 
under the ConocoPhillips 
Executive Severance Plan as effective on 
the 
Effective Date or as subsequently amended. 
Furthermore, if an Eligible Employee has willful and 
bad faith 
conduct demonstrably injurious 
to Company 
or its 
Subsidiaries, monetarily 
or otherwise, 
after receiving Severance 
Pay, 
the Company may 
offset an amount equal 
to such Severance 
Pay 
against any other amounts due from other plans or programs, unless otherwise required by law. 
5.3 
Neither the 
establishment of 
the Plan, 
nor any 
modification 
thereof, nor 
the 
creation 
of 
any 
fund, trust, or account, nor the payment 
of any benefits shall be construed 
as giving any Eligible 
Employee, or 
any person 
whomsoever, the right to 
be retained in 
the service 
of the 
Employer, and 
all Eligible 
Employees shall 
remain subject 
to discharge to 
the same 
extent as if 
the Plan 
had never 
been adopted. 

 

 

Exhibit 
10.20.1

5.4 
If 
any 
provision 
of 
this 
Plan 
shall 
be 
held 
invalid 
or 
unenforceable, 
such 
invalidity 
or 
unenforceability shall not affect any other 
provisions hereof, and this Plan shall 
be construed and 
enforced as if such provisions had not been included. 
5.5 
This Plan 
shall be 
binding upon 
the heirs, 
executors, administrators, 
successors, 
and 
assigns 
of 
the 
parties, 
including each 
Eligible 
Employee, 
present 
and 
future, 
and 
any 
successor 
to 
the 
Employer. 
5.6 
The headings and captions herein are provided for reference 
and convenience only, 
shall 
not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan. 
5.7 
The Plan shall not be funded. 
No Eligible Employee shall have any right to, 
or interest in, 
any assets 
of any 
Employer that 
may be applied 
by the Employer 
to the payment 
of benefits 
or 
other rights under this Plan. 
5.8 
Any notice or 
other communication required 
or permitted pursuant 
to the terms 
hereof 
shall have 
been duly 
given when 
delivered 
or mailed 
by United 
States 
Mail, first 
-class, postage 
prepaid, addressed to the intended recipient at his, her or its last known address. 
5.9 
This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Delaware. 
The Plan is hereby 
amended and restated 
effective as 
of the Effective 
Date; provided, 
however, 
that in 
the event that 
a Change 
in Control 
occurs on 
or before December 
1, 2023, 
the provisions 
of 
the immediately prior 
version of 
this Plan 
shall control 
to the 
extent 
that 
those 
provisions, 
or any 
of 
them, 
are 
more 
favorable 
to 
a 
Severed 
Employee 
and 
have 
not 
been 
waived 
by 
that 
Severed 
Employee. 
For the avoidance of doubt all Eligible Employees who previously were eligible for an 
Excise 
Tax 
gross-up 
under the 
plan 
have 
waived 
these 
benefits 
as 
of the 
effective 
date 
of this 
amended and restated Plan. 

Executed this __ day of December 2021, by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

In

by 
the 
Company or any

subsidiaries, pursuant to the 
Plan, 
which 
I acknowledge 
that I 
would 
not otherwise 
be entitled to receive, I hereby waive any claims I may have for employment or re-employment by the 
Company or any subsidiary or parent of the Company after the date hereof, and I further agree to and 
do release and forever discharge 
the Company or any subsidiary 
or parent of the Company,

assigns, as 
well 
as 
any employee benefit

and 
fiduciaries, employees,

Parties”) from any and all 
claims and causes 
of action, known 
or unknown, 
arising 
out 
of 
or 
relating 
to 
my 
employment 
with 
the 
Company 
or 
any

parent 
of 
the 
Company (including the termination of that employment), except 
claims that the law does not permit 
me to 
waive by 
signing this 
Waiver

causes of 
action 
include, but are 
not limited to,

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES A RELEASE OF 
ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exhibit 
10.20.1

2.
Extent of Release. 
For the purpose of 
implementing a full 
and complete release and discharge of 
the Released Parties, 
I expressly acknowledge that 
the release I 
am giving in 
this 
document 
is intended 
to include in its effect, without 
limitation, all claims I may 
have against the Released Parties, whether 
known, unknown, or 
suspected at the 
time I 
delivered to 
the designated 
recipient 
for the 
Company 
this 
signed Waiver and Release of 
Claims, and regardless of whether 
the knowledge of such 
claims, or the 
facts upon which 
they might be 
based, would materially have 
affected my decision to 
sign this Waiver 
and Release of 
Claims, and that 
the consideration given under 
this Waiver 
and Release 
of Claims 
is also 
for the release 
of those claims 
and contemplates the 
extinguishment 
of any 
such 
claims. 
In furtherance 
of this Waiver and Release of 
Claims, I waive any rights provided 
by California Civil Code section 
1542 
or other similar local, state, provincial, 
or federal law. 
Section 1542 states: 
“A general release does not 
extend to claims 
which the creditor 
does not know 
or 
suspect to exist 
in his favor 
at the time 
of executing the 
release, 
which 
if known 
by 
him must have materially affected 
his settlement with the debtor.”
Some of 
the types of 
claims that I 
acknowledge I am 
releasing, although there 
may be others 
not listed 
here, are claims 
I may have 
under any applicable 
labor agreement and 
claims under any 
federal, 
state, 
or local statute, ordinance, 
order, or law 
arising out of or relating to the terms and conditions 
of my 
employment with the Company and the termination 
of my employment, including claims such as: 
a.
Discrimination on the 
basis of sex, 
race, color, 
national 
origin, 
religion, 
sexual 
orientation, disability, 
veteran status, 
or any other legally protected status; 
b.
Harassment, 
wrongful 
discharge, 
or 
retaliation, 
including 
retaliatory 
discharge, 
arising 
under 
local, 
state, 
or 
federal 
law, 
including 
any 
worker’s 
compensation or whistleblower statute; 
c.
Any other 
possible restrictions 
on the 
Company’s 
ability to 
end its 
employees’ 
employment at will, including but not limited to (i) violation of public policy, (ii) breach of 
any 
express 
or 
implied 
covenant 
of 
the 
employment 
contract, 
and 
(iii) 
breach 
of 
any 
covenant of good faith and 
fair dealing; 
d.
Unpaid wages, including, but 
not limited to claims 
for unpaid overtime, break, meal, 
or rest periods; 
e.
Amounts determined under an incentive 
compensation or bonus program 
of the 
Company, 
including, but not limited to, the varying amounts 
at its discretion; 
f.
Civil 
claims 
of 
negligence, 
defamation, 
business 
disparagement, 
invasion 
of 
privacy, 
personal injury, 
fraud, misrepresentation, 
or infliction 
of emotional 
or mental 
distress; 

g.
Matters for which a civil 
action may be 
brought under section 502 
or section 
510 of 
ERISA, except 
as specifically 
excluded 
in paragraph 
4 below 
(“Exceptions 
to 
Release”); and 
h.
Claims for breach of any agreement(s) ancillary to my employment with 
the 
Company. 
3.
Release of Claims under the 
Age Discrimination in Employment Act. 
In consideration for receiving 
the Benefits from 
the Company or 
any of its 
subsidiaries, I specifically 
waive all existing 
rights 
and claims 
I may have 
against the Released Parties under 
the Age Discrimination 
in Employment Act, 
29 USC § 621 
et seq., and any 
other applicable federal, 
state, or 
local statute 
or law involving 
age discrimination. 
I 
acknowledge that the 
Benefits constitute independent consideration for this 
release of liability 
and are 

 

 

 

 

Exhibit 
10.20.1 
17
in addition to 
any other payment 
to which I 
am entitled. 
I further acknowledge 
that I 
have been 
advised 
to consult with an attorney of my 
own choosing before executing 
this Waiver and Release of Claims. 

4.
Exceptions to Release. 
The Waiver and Release of Claims does 
not release any claims related 
to: 
a.
The business expense reimbursement 
policy of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; 
b.
Claims pursuant 
to section 
502(a)(1)(B) of ERISA 
to recover 
benefits under 
the terms 
of the 
employee benefit plans 
of the Company or 
any of its subsidiaries 
as applicable to me on 
the 
date of my employment termination; 
c.
Claims made for work-related 
injuries under applicable worker’s 
compensation statutes; 
d.
Any claim that 
may arise after 
the date this 
signed Waiver and Release 
of Claims is 
delivered 
to 
the designated recipient for the 
Company; and 
e.
My rights 
to indemnification 
under any 
indemnification agreement, 
applicable law, 
and the 
certificates of incorporation and bylaws of the Company or 
of any subsidiary of the 
Company, 
and my rights under any directors’ 
and officers’ liability insurance policy covering 
me. 
Nothing in this 
Waiver and Release of 
Claims, however, will limit my 
right to report 
possible 
violations 
of 
law to any governmental 
agency, 
make other disclosures that 
are protected under the 
whistleblower 
provisions of federal, state, or local law, 
or testify, assist, or participate in an investigation, 
hearing, or 
proceeding conducted by the EEOC, EPA, DOL, SEC, IRS, or 
any other governmental agency. 
Nothing in 
this 
Waiver 
and 
Release 
of 
Claims 
limits 
my 
right 
to 
receive 
an 
award 
or 
incentive 
payment 
for 
information provided to 
any governmental agency. 

5.
Review Period and Revocation Period. 
I acknowledge that 
I have been 
given 
a period 
of twenty-one 
(21) calendar 
days within

Claims.

(b)
For Severed Employees actively participating in the Retirement Plans, the amount 
that is 
the present 
value, determined as 
of the 
Severed 
Employee's 
Severance 
Date, 
of 
the 
benefits 
under 
the 
Retirement 
Plans 
that 
would 
result 
if 
the 
Severed 
Employee was 
credited with the following 
number of additional years 
of age and 
service under 
the Retirement Plans: 
(i) 2, in 
the case

due to the circumstances 
of the Severed Employee’s 
termination) of the benefits 
under 
the 
Retirement 
Plans. 
Present 
value 
shall 
be 
determined 
based

the 
assumptions 
utilized 
under 
the

Retirement 
Plan 
for 
purposes 
of 
determining contributions under 
Code section 
412 
for the 
most 
recently 
completed 
plan year. 
No amounts provided under this Section 2.1(b) shall be less 
than zero. 

For the 
avoidance of 
doubt, with 
respect to

Employee who 
is actively 
participating in a cash 
balance formula under the 
Retirement Plans, the Severance 
Pay 
amount 
determined 
under 
this 
subsection 
shall 
be 
the 
amount 
that 
is 
the 
present 
value 
of 
benefits 
under 
the 
Retirement 
Plans 
that 
would 
result 
if 
the 
Severed Employee 
was credited with 
the following number of 
additional years of 
pay 
credits 
and interest 
credits 
under the 
Retirement 
Plans as 
of the 
Severance 
Date: 
(i) 
2, 
in 
the 
case 
of 
a 
Tier 
1 
Employee 
or 
(ii) 
1.5, 
in 
the 
case 
of 
a 
Tier 
2 
Employee; 
less 
the 
amount 
that 
is 
the 
value 
determined 
as 
of 
the 
Severed 
Employee’s 
Severance Date of the benefits under the Retirement 
Plans. 
(c)
The amount that is equal to the sum of (i), (ii), and (iii): 
(i)
The 
lesser 
of 
the 
difference 
between 
the 
annual 
COBRA 
participant 
contribution 
amount 
or 
the 
ConocoPhillips 
Retiree 
Medical 
Pre-65 
Plan 
participant 
contribution 
amount, 
as 
applicable, 
and 
the 
annual 
active 
employee contribution 
amount, each 
as of the 
Severance Date, 
based on 
the active medical coverage for which the Severed Employee was enrolled 
as of 
the Severance Date 
multiplied by 
(a) 2, 
in the 
case of 
a Tier 
1 Employee 
or (b) 1.5, 
in the 
case of a 
Tier 2 Employee. 
For the avoidance 
of doubt, any 

Exhibit 
10.
47

Severed 
Employee 
or 
dependents 
who 
are 
over 
the 
age 
of 
65 
on 
the 
Severance 
Date 
will 
not 
be 
eligible 
for 
any 
amounts 
under 
this 
section 
2.1(c)(i). 
(ii)
The difference between 
the annual 
COBRA participant 
contribution 
amount 
and 
the 
annual 
active 
employee 
contribution 
amount, 
each 
as 
of 
the 
Severance Date, based 
on the 
active dental coverage 
for which 
the Severed 
Employee was enrolled as of 
the Severance Date, 
multiplied by (a) 2, 
in the 
case of a Tier 1 Employee or (b) 1.5, in the case of a Tier 2 Employee. 
(iii)
The 
difference 
between 
the 
annual 
cost 
to 
maintain 
coverage 
and 
the 
annual active 
employee contribution, each 
as of 
the 
Severance 
Date, 
for the 
company-sponsored 
life 
insurance 
coverage 
(including 
basic, 
executive 
basic, and supplemental) for which the Severed Employee was 
enrolled on 
the Severance Dd 
ate multiplied by 
(a) 2, 
in the 
case of 
a Tier 
1 Employee or 
(b) 1.5, in the 
case of a Tier 
2 Employee. 
For the avoidance 
of doubt, this 
amount 
will 
be 
calculated 
using 
differences 
in 
cost 
ignoring 
any 
limits 
imposed by 
the insurance 
carrier for portability 
and 
conversion 
of coverage. 
Any amounts provided under this 
Section 2.1(c) will 
not be adjusted to 
reflect that 
the Severed Employee’s 
cost will no longer be pre-tax. 
2.2 
Subject to Section 2.6, Severance Pay (as well as any amount payable pursuant to Section 
2.3 hereof) shall be 
paid to an eligible Severed Employee in 
a cash lump sum on 
the first business

the period 
for executing 
and delivering 
the 
Severed Employee's release, as set forth 
in Section 2.6.

plan to the contrary, 
shall be 
eligible for consideration 
for an award 
under such program or plan when 
awards are made with 
regard to the fiscal year under 
such program or plan in which the Severance Date occurred 
. 
2.4 
Each party 
to any dispute 
concerning this 
Plan 
shall 
be responsible 
for that 
party’s 
own 
legal 
fees and expenses; 
provided, however, that the 
arbitrator 
appointed 
pursuant 
to Section 
3.2 
of 
this 
Plan 
may 
award 
reasonable 
legal 
fees 
and 
expenses 
to 
an 
Eligible 
Employee 
if 
the 
arbitrator 
determines that the Company’s denial of the claim of the Eligible Employee was not 
reasonable. 
2.5 
The Company 
shall be 
entitled to 
withhold and/or 
to cause 
to be 
withheld 
from 
amounts 
to 
be paid 
to the Severed

other taxes 
or charges which it is from time to time required to withhold. 
2.6 
No Severed Employee 
shall be 
eligible to 
receive Severance Pay or 
other 
benefits 
under 
the 
Plan unless 
he or 
she first 
executes a written 
release substantially in 
the form 
attached

is 
revocable by its terms, 
only if the

also, 
at the request of 
the Company, executes a written agreement not 
to compete with 
the Company, 
with such 
terms and 
conditions as 
may be 
proposed by 
the 
Company 
at the

WAIVER AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS 
Introduction 
and 
General 
Information 
to 
Employee. 
Signing 
this 
Waiver 
and 
Release 
of 
Claims 
is 
one 
condition to receiving certain 
benefit payments (“Benefits”) under the 
ConocoPhillips Executive Severance 
Plan (the “Plan”) 
offered by ConocoPhillips (the “Company”). 
You should 
thoroughly 
review and 
understand 
the effect of this 
Waiver and Release of 
Claims and consult 
with an attorney before signing 
it. 
To the extent 
you have any claims 
covered by this Waiver and 
Release of Claims, you 
will be 
giving up potentially 
valuable 
rights by signing. 
You may take time to consider 
whether or not 
to sign this 
Waiver and 
Release 
of Claims. 
If 
you sign 
this Waiver 
and Release 
of Claims 
and deliver 
it to 
the Company 
as set 
forth 
below, 
and if 
the 
Company’s designated recipient receives the Waiver and Release of Claims 
on or before the 
date indicated 
above as 
the “Deadline 
for Receipt 
by the 
Company,” 
and you 
do not revoke 
the Waiver 
and Release 
of 
Claims within 
seven (7) 
days 
following 
receipt, 
you will 
be entitled 
to Benefits 
under the 
Plan if 
you are 
otherwise eligible. 
If the 
signed Waiver 
and Release 
of Claims 
is not 
received by 
the deadline, 
or if 
you 
revoke it during the seven 
(7) day period following receipt, 
no Benefits will be paid. 
1.
General Release. 
In consideration 
of, and 
subject to, the 
payments to 
be made to me by 
the 
Company or any of 
its subsidiaries, pursuant to the 
Plan, which I 
acknowledge that I 
would 
not otherwise 
be 
entitled 
to 
receive, 
I 
hereby 
waive 
any 
claims 
I 
may 
have 
for 
employment 
or 
re-employment 
by 
the 
Company or any subsidiary or parent 
of the Company after the date 
hereof, 
and I further agree to and do 
release and forever discharge the 
Company or any 
subsidiary 
or parent 
of the 
Company, and 
their 
respective 
past and present officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, and 
assigns, as well 
as any employee 
benefit 
plans 
maintained 
by 
the 
Company 
or 
any 
subsidiary 
or 
parent 
of 
the 
Company 
and 
fiduciaries, 
employees, and agents of such plans, and any related parties (all of which are hereafter 
referred to as the 
“Released 
Parties”) 
from 
any 
and all 
claims 
and 
causes 
of action, 
known 
or unknown, 
arising 
out of 
or 
relating to my 
employment with the 
Company or any 
subsidiary or parent 
of the Company (including 
the 
termination of that employment), 
except claims that 
the law does not permit me 
to waive by signing this 
Waiver 
and Release 
of Claims. 
Such possible 
claims or 
causes 
of action 
include, but 
are not 
limited 
to, 
wrongful discharge, contract, breach of contract, tort, 
fraud, the Civil 
Rights Acts (including, 
but not limited 
to, Title VII 
of the 
Civil Rights Act 
of 1964 
and sections 1981 
and 1983 of 
the Civil 
Rights 
Act of 
1866),

employment or discrimination in employment or otherwise, except as specifically excluded in paragraph 4 
below. 
2.
Extent of Release. 
For the purpose of 
implementing a full and complete release and discharge 
of the 
Released Parties, I expressly acknowledge that 
the release I 
am giving in 
this document 
is intended 
to 
include in its effect, without limitation, all claims I may 
have against the Released Parties, whether known, 
unknown, 
or suspected 
at the 
time I 
delivered 
to the 
designated 
recipient 
for 
the Company 
this signed 
Waiver and Release of Claims, 
and regardless of whether the 
knowledge of such claims, or the facts upon 
which they might be based, would materially have affected my decision to sign this Waiver and Release of 
Claims, and that the consideration given 
under this Waiver and Release of Claims 
is also for the release of 
those claims and 
contemplates 
the extinguishment 
of any such 
claims. In furtherance 
of this Waiver 
and 
Release of Claims, 
I waive any 
rights provided 
by California 
Civil Code section 
1542 or other similar 
local, 
state, provincial, 
or federal law. 
section 1542 states: 
“A 
general release does not 
extend to claims which 
the creditor does not 
know or 
suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by 
him must have materially affected 
his settlement with the debtor.” 
Some of 
the types of 
claims that I 
acknowledge I am 
releasing, although there 
may be 
others 
not listed 
here, 
are claims I may 
have under any 
applicable labor agreement 
and claims under any 
federal, state, 
or local 
statute, ordinance, 
order, 
or law arising out of or relating to 
the terms and conditions of my 
employment 
with the Company and the 
termination of my 
employment, including claims 
such as: 
a.
Discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, religion, sexual 
orientation, 
disability, 
veteran status, 
or any other legally protected 
status; 
b.
Harassment, wrongful 
discharge, 
or retaliation, 
including 
retaliatory 
discharge, 
arising 
under 
local, state, 
or federal law, 
including any worker’s 
compensation or whistleblower statute; 
c.
Any other possible 
restrictions on the Company’s ability 
to end 
its employees’ 
employment 
at will, including but 
not limited to (i) 
violation of public policy, (ii) breach of 
any express or implied 
covenant 
of 
the 
employment 
contract, 
and 
(iii) 
breach 
of 
any 
covenant 
of 
good 
faith 
and 
fair 
dealing; 
d.
Unpaid wages, including, 
but not 
limited to 
claims for 
unpaid overtime, break, 
meal, or 
rest 
periods; 
e.
Amounts determined under an 
incentive compensation or 
bonus 
program of 
the Company, 
including, but not limited to, 
the varying amounts at 
its discretion; 
f.
Civil 
claims 
of 
negligence, 
defamation, 
business 
disparagement, 
invasion 
of 
privacy, 
personal injury, 
fraud, misrepresentation, 
or infliction of emotional or mental 
distress; 

g.
Matters for which a civil action may be 
brought under section 502 or section 510 
of ERISA, 
except as specifically 
excluded in paragraph 
4 below (“Exceptions 
to Release”); and 
h.
Claims for breach of 
any agreement(s) ancillary 
to my employment 
with the Company. 
3.
Release of Claims under Age Discrimination in 
Employment Act. 
In consideration for receiving 
the Benefits from the Company or any of its subsidiaries, 
I specifically waive all existing 
rights and claims I 
may have against 
the Released Parties 
under the Age Discrimination 
in Employment Act, 
29 USC § 621 et 
seq., 
and 
any 
other 
applicable 
federal, 
state, 
or 
local 
statute 
or 
law 
involving 
age 
discrimination. 
I 
acknowledge that the Benefits constitute 
independent consideration 
for this release of liability and are in 

 

 

Exhibit 
10.
47 
11
addition to any other 
payment to which 
I am entitled. 
I further acknowledge 
that I have been 
advised to 
consult with an attorney 
of my own choosing before 
executing this Waiver 
and Release of Claims. 

4.
Exceptions to Release. 
The Waiver and Release 
of Claims 
does 
not release 
any claims 
related 
to: 
a.
The business expense reimbursement 
policy of the Company or any 
of its subsidiaries; 
b.
Claims pursuant to section 
502(a)(1)(B) of ERISA 
to recover benefits under 
the terms 
of the 
employee benefit plans of 
the Company or 
any of its 
subsidiaries as applicable to 
me on 
the date of 
my employment termination; 
c.
Claims made for work-related 
injuries under applicable worker’s 
compensation statutes; 
d.
Any claim that may 
arise after the 
date this signed 
Waiver and 
Release 
of Claims 
is delivered 
to the designated recipient 
for the Company; and 
e.
My rights to 
indemnification under any indemnification agreement, 
applicable 
law, and the 
certificates of incorporation and bylaws of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company, and 
my rights under any 
directors’ 
and officers’ liability insurance 
policy covering me. 
Nothing in this 
Waiver and Release of 
Claims, however, will limit my right 
to report 
possible 
violations 
of law 
to any governmental agency, make other disclosures that are 
protected under 
the whistleblower 
provisions 
of federal, 
state, 
or local 
law, 
or testify, 
assist, or 
participate 
in an 
investigation, 
hearing, or 
proceeding 
conducted by the EEOC, EPA, DOL, SEC, 
IRS, or any other 
governmental agency. 
Nothing in this 
Waiver and 
Release of Claims limits 
my right to receive an 
award or incentive payment for information provided to any 
governmental agency.

I have 
been 
given 
a period
