EXECUTIVE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT PROGRAM

FEBRUARY 13, 2018

EXECUTIVE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT

AWARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

FOR ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES ON THE CANADA PAYROLL

These Executive Restricted Stock Unit Award Terms and Conditions describe terms and conditions of Executive Restricted Stock Unit Awards, as part of the ConocoPhillips Executive Restricted Stock Unit Program (the “Program”), granted under the 2014 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan of ConocoPhillips (referred to as the Plan) by ConocoPhillips (the “Company”) to you as an eligible employee (the “Employee”). These Terms and Conditions, together with the Award Summary given to each Employee receiving an Award, form the Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) relating to the Awards described. Subject to the Plan and this Agreement, the Company grants to the Employee Executive Restricted Stock Units. Individual awards will be as set forth in the Award Summary given to each Employee to whom an Award is granted. The Award Summary for each Employee is made a part of this Agreement with regard to such Employee. Multiple book entry accounts may be used to reflect the total shares awarded under these Terms and Conditions. This and any other administrative activities shall not be construed to alter these Terms and Conditions.

 

AWARD: Executive Restricted Stock Unit (ERSU) Award granted by the Authorized Party under the provisions of the Plan. The ERSUs will be noted in a book entry account created for the Employee.

 

ERSU: A unit evidencing the right to receive either one share of ConocoPhillips Stock, $0.01 par value, or the Fair Market Value thereof under the circumstances described in these Terms and Conditions.

GRANT DATE AND PRICE: The Grant Date is February 13, 2018. The Grant Price is set forth on the Award Summary given to each Employee to whom an award is granted.

VOTING RIGHTS: The named owner of the ERSUs has no voting rights for the units, but is considered the beneficial owner for all purposes including ownership and control reports such as the annual proxy statement.

DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS: ERSUs shall accrue a dividend equivalent at such times as a dividend is paid on the common stock of the Company, par value of $.01 per share, which dividend equivalent shall be credited as reinvested in additional ERSUs as of the date such dividends are payable, and such additional ERSUs shall be subject to these terms and conditions. The number of ERSUs acquired through this reinvestment of dividend equivalents shall be calculated using the Fair Market Value at the time the dividend equivalent is accrued. ERSUs acquired from dividend equivalents shall be paid at the time and in the manner of settlement of the ERSUs as set forth in the section titled “Settlement” below.

 

- 1 -


RETIREMENT PLAN EARNINGS: The issuance of these ERSUs does not constitute earnings under any retirement plan sponsored by a ConocoPhillips company. The value of the units at the time restrictions lapse also does not constitute earnings under any retirement plan sponsored by a ConocoPhillips company. Neither the issuance of nor lapsing of restrictions on ERSUs will have any impact on any retirement plans or any other compensation plan sponsored by a ConocoPhillips company.

TAX INFORMATION: For an Employee subject to U.S. tax laws, this matter is more thoroughly covered in the document entitled “U.S. Tax Aspects of Restricted Stock Units.” However, in general terms, under current U.S. tax law, the value of these units is not considered taxable income until the restrictions lapse.

RESTRICTIONS: The following restrictions relate to the ERSUs:

The ERSUs (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents) will be held in escrow for the Employee. As provided herein, the Employee will have all rights of economic ownership to such units including the right to receive dividend equivalents as set forth in the section titled “Dividend Equivalents” above, except that the Employee shall not have the right to sell, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of such units until the escrow is terminated (such restrictions being known as the “Transfer Restrictions”).

The escrow shall end on the earliest of any of the following occurrences, with Transfer Restrictions to lapse and settlement be made as set forth in the section titled “Settlement” below:

 

  1. The Termination of the Employee’s employment as a result of Layoff of the Employee;
  2. The Termination of the Employee’s employment after Retirement;
  3. The Termination of the Employee’s employment due to death;
  4. The Termination of the Employee’s employment following Disability of the Employee;
  5. The Termination of the Employee’s employment following a Change of Control; or
  6. February 20, 2021.

The ERSUs eligible for lapsing of Transfer Restrictions and settlement shall be subject to the cancellation and proration provisions set forth in the section titled “Termination of Employment” below.

The Transfer Restrictions shall lapse and the ERSUs (including any such that are awarded after the Separation from Service of the Employee) shall be settled on the date that is the later of (a) the end of the escrow period and (b) the earliest of the Employee’s death, February 20, 2021, or six months after the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service for a reason other than death.

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT:

 

  1. General Rule for Termination. If, prior to the date on which restrictions lapse in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Award, the Employee’s employment with a Participating Company shall be terminated for any reason except death, Disability, Retirement, or Layoff, any ERSUs remaining in escrow pursuant to such Award (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents) shall be canceled and all rights thereunder shall cease; provided, however, that the Authorized Party may, in its or his sole discretion, determine that all or any portion of an Award shall not be canceled due to Termination of Employment.

 

  2. Layoff Within Six Months. If, prior to a date six months from the date an Award is granted, the Employee’s employment with a Participating Company shall be terminated by reason of Layoff, such Award (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents) shall be canceled and all rights thereunder shall cease.

 

  3. Layoff Within One Year. If, on or after a date six months from the date an Award is granted but prior to a date one year from the date an Award is granted, the Employee’s employment with a Participating Company shall be terminated by reason of Layoff, the Employee shall retain a prorated number of the Award shares or units granted. The number of Award shares or units retained will be computed by multiplying the original number of Award shares or units granted by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months of employment from the first day of the month in which the Award was granted until the date the employee is terminated and the denominator of which is 12. Such calculation shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The ERSUs arising from dividend equivalents shall be recalculated using the prorated award as the original number of Award shares. Settlement shall be made in accordance with the provisions set forth in the section titled “Settlement” below.

 

  4. Layoff After One Year. If, on or after a date one year from the date an Award is granted, the Employee’s employment with a Participating Company shall be terminated by reason of Layoff, the Employee shall retain all rights provided by the Award at the time of such Termination of Employment (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents). Settlement shall be made in accordance with the settlement provisions set forth in the section titled “Settlement” below.

 

  5. Retirement Within Six Months. If, prior to a date six months from the date an Award is granted, the Employee’s employment with a Participating Company shall be terminated by reason of Retirement, such Award (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents) shall be canceled and all rights thereunder shall cease.

 

  6. Retirement After Six Months. If, on or after a date six months after the Grant Date of an Award, the Employee’s employment with a Participating Company shall be terminated by reason of Retirement, the Employee shall retain all rights provided by the Award at the time of such Termination of Employment (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents). Settlement shall be made in accordance with the settlement provisions set forth in the section titled “Settlement” below.

 

  7. Disability. If, after the date the Award is granted, an Employee shall terminate employment following Disability of the Employee, the Employee shall retain all rights provided by the Award at the time of such Termination of Employment (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents). Settlement shall be made in accordance with the settlement provisions set forth in the section titled “Settlement” below.

 

- 3 -


  8. Death. If, after the date an Award is granted, an Employee shall die while in the employ of a Participating Company, or after Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement, Disability, or Layoff (and prior to the cancellation of the Award), the restrictions on the Award shall lapse on the later of the date of death and the date of Termination of the Employee from the employ of the Company and its subsidiaries, and settlement shall be made in accordance with the settlement provisions below. Settlement shall be made to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the named owner in accordance with the settlement provisions set forth in the section titled “Settlement” below. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries must be set forth under a properly completed beneficiary designation form acceptable to the Administrator which is received by the Administrator prior to the death of the named owner. In absence of such a beneficiary designation, the personal representative of the estate of the named owner or the person or persons to whom the Award shall have been validly transferred by the personal representative pursuant to will or the laws of descent and distribution shall have the right to settlement of the Award. No transfer of an Award, or of the unrestricted Stock or other proceeds of an Award, by beneficiary designation or by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Administrator shall have been furnished with written notice thereof, with a copy of the beneficiary designation or will, and with such other evidence as the Administrator may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions of such Award.

 

  9. Divestiture, Outsourcing, or Move to Joint Venture. If, after the date the Award is granted, an Employee ceases to be employed by Participating Company as a result of (a) the outsourcing of a function, (b) the sale or transfer of all or a portion of the equity interest of such Participating Company (removing it from the controlled group of companies of which the Company is a part), (c) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Participating Company to another employer outside of the controlled group of corporations (whether the Employee is offered employment or accepts employment with the other employer), (d) the Termination of the Employee by a Participating Company followed by employment within a reasonable time with a company or other entity in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 50% interest, or (e) any other sale of assets determined by the Authorized Party to be considered a divestiture under this Program, the Authorized Party may, in its or his sole discretion, determine that all or a portion of any such Award shall not be canceled. In such cases, the restrictions on the Award shall lapse on the date of Termination of the Employee from the employ of the Company and its subsidiaries, and settlement shall be made in accordance with the settlement provisions set forth in the section titled “Settlement” below.

 

  10. Change of Control: Upon a Change of Control, the following shall apply to the ERSUs (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents):

 

  (a) Each Employee shall immediately become fully vested in such ERSUs that are not assumed, or substituted for, by an acquirer in connection with the Change of Control, and such ERSUs shall not thereafter be forfeitable for any reason, except as set forth in the section titled “Detrimental Activities” below.

 

  (b) With regard to any other ERSUs, each Employee shall become fully vested in such ERSUs upon incurring a Severance following such Change of Control, and such ERSUs shall not thereafter be forfeitable for any reason, except as set forth in the section titled “Detrimental Activities” below.

 

- 4 -


  (c) In the event of vesting of ERSUs pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, all restrictions and other limitations applicable to the ERSUs shall lapse and the ERSUs shall be settled in accordance with the settlement provisions set forth in the section titled “Settlement” below.

SETTLEMENT: The Company shall, at the time stated above, register in the name of the Employee shares of Stock, free of any restriction, equal to the number of the ERSUs (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents), and the related ERSUs (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents) shall be canceled. In all cases the Employee will be responsible to pay all required withholding taxes associated with the Award, including cases where a withholding tax obligation arises prior to the lapsing of Transfer Restrictions set forth in the section titled “Restrictions” above. The Employee must pay any required withholding taxes by having shares equal in value to the applicable withholding taxes withheld by the Company (or such other method as the Company, in its sole discretion, allows). The value of the shares withheld for this purpose shall be an amount consistent with the applicable laws and regulations. With regard to any fractional shares of Stock that might arise, the Company may deliver to the Employee cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional shares. If Australian tax law applies to the Employee, then an Award is a scheme to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 of Australia applies (subject to the conditions in that Act).

The Fair Market Value of the Award received by the Employee shall be determined in accordance with the definition and principles set forth in the Plan.

FORFEITURE: An Employee’s right, title, and interest in ERSUs awarded under the Program or derived from such ERSUs, or the ownership thereof, shall be forfeited if the Employee terminates employment prior to termination of the escrow period for any reason other than Termination after Layoff, Termination after Retirement, Termination due to death, Termination following Disability, or Termination following a Change in Control; provided, however, any transfer between the Company and any Subsidiary, or between Subsidiaries at the request of the Company or such Subsidiaries, shall not result in forfeiture. Furthermore, an Employee’s right, title, and interest in ERSUs awarded under the Program or derived from such ERSUs, or the ownership thereof, shall be forfeited if the Employee terminates employment by reason of Layoff or Retirement and does not complete six full months of employment after the date of the grant of the Award, unless otherwise approved by the Authorized Party.

DETRIMENTAL ACTIVITIES: If the Authorized Party determines that, subsequent to the grant of any Award but prior to any Change of Control, the Employee has engaged or is engaging in any activity which, in the sole judgment of the Authorized Party, is or may be detrimental to the Company or a subsidiary, the Authorized Party may cancel all or part of the ERSUs (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents) held in escrow pursuant to the Award granted to that Employee.

If the Authorized Party, in its or his sole discretion, determines that the lapsing of restrictions on ERSUs (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents) held in escrow pursuant to any Award has the possibility of violating any law, regulation, or decree pertaining to the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or the Employee, the Authorized Party may freeze or suspend the Employee’s right to settlement or payout of the Award until such time as the lapse of restrictions would no longer, in the sole discretion of the Authorized Party, have the possibility of violating such law, regulation, or decree.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award is subject to forfeiture or recoupment, in whole or in part, under applicable law, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act.

RECAPITALIZATION: Upon any change in the outstanding stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, or other similar change, the Committee shall make corresponding adjustments to the ERSUs (including any ERSUs arising from accrued dividend equivalents).
