CAUTIONARY NOTE TO INVESTORS Effective Jan. 1, 2010, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable, and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions for such terms. Apache may use certain terms on the Site, such as “resource potential” and similar terms that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit Apache from including in filings with the SEC. Any reserve estimates provided on the Site that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include estimated reserves not necessarily calculated in accordance with, or contemplated by, the SEC's latest reserve reporting guidelines. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in Apache’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and any amendments on Form 10-K/A, on the Site and in our other public filings and press releases. Apache’s Form 10-K and other SEC filings are available from Apache at www.apachecorp.com or by writing Apache at: 2000 Post Oak Blvd., Suite 100, Houston, Texas 77056 (Attn: Corporate Secretary). You can also obtain this report from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330 or from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The Site contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” and similar references to future periods. Any matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking and, accordingly, involve estimates, assumptions, risks and uncertainties. These risks include, but are not limited to the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, uncertainties inherent in estimating oil and natural gas reserves, drilling risks, and other risks, uncertainties and factors discussed in Apache’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and any amendments on Form 10-K/A, on the Site and in our other public filings and press releases. There is no assurance that Apache's expectations will be realized, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Unless legally required, Apache assumes no duty to update these statements as of any future date.

Such data and information is provided for informational purposes only, and is not intended for trading purposes. Neither Apache nor any of its data or content providers shall be liable for any errors or delays in the content or for any actions taken in reliance thereon.

Specifically, in relation to alleged infringement of copyright, your complaint must include the following: a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of a right that is allegedly infringed; identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at such site; identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject f infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the provider to locate the material; information reasonably sufficient to permit the provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted; a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Upon receipt of such notification of alleged copyright infringement, Apache shall promptly investigate the matter, and, if appropriate, remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. After Apache removes or disables access to such material, if such material was posted by a user of the Site, Apache will notify the party that posted the material of its action. Such party may then provide Apache’s designated agent proper “counter-notification” stating his, her or its authority to post the allegedly infringing material, which Apache will forward to the alleged copyright owner. Apache will inform the alleged copyright owner that Apache will repost the removed material or cease disabling access to it in ten to fourteen business days unless the alleged copyright owner sends a second notification to Apache’s designated agent stating that it has filed suit against the alleged infringer. An effective counter notification must be sent to Apache’s designated agent, whose name and address are listed above. The notice must include the following information: The counter-notifying party’s physical or electronic signature; Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location where the material was before its removal or disablement; A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the party has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; and The counter-notifying party’s name, address, phone number, and a statement that the party consents to the jurisdiction of the federal court in its district, or if the subscriber is foreign, it consents to any jurisdiction where Apache is subject to jurisdiction, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided Apache with notification or an agent of such a person. If you are dissatisfied with our handling of your complaint, you may have the right to escalate it to appropriate officials in your jurisdiction. MISCELLANEOUS These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Apache. They supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and Apache relating to your use of the Site. Apache’s failure at any time to require performance of any provision of these Terms or to exercise any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision or such right. Any waiver by Apache must be in writing. Unless the written waiver contains an express statement to the contrary, no waiver by Apache of any breach of any provision of these Terms or of any right provided for herein shall be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under these Terms. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, it will not impact any other provision of these Terms, all of which will remain in full force and effect. These Terms are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law; provided, however that no law, theory, or public policy shall be given effect which would undermine, diminish, or reduce the effectiveness of the waiver of damages provided in the paragraph above titled “LIABILITY DISCLAIMER,” it being our express intent, understanding, and agreement that such waiver is to be given the fullest effect, notwithstanding the negligence (whether sole, joint, or concurrent), gross negligence, willful misconduct, strict liability, or other legal fault of Apache or any other person.
