Exhibit 10.1
STOCK OPTION PROGRAM
KEY EMPLOYEE AWARD
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Key Employee Award Terms and Conditions describes terms and conditions of Stock Option (or Stock Appreciation Rights) Awards, as part of the ConocoPhillips Stock Option Program (the “Program”), granted under the 2014 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan of ConocoPhillips (the “Plan”) by ConocoPhillips (“Company”) to certain eligible Employees (“Employees”). 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. The Agreement covers both Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, and the term Employee covers recipients of Awards made either in Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.
| 1. | Type and Size of Grant. Subject to the Plan and this Agreement, the Company grants to certain eligible Employees a Nonqualified Stock Option to purchase all or any part of an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company. In certain countries, grants will be in the form of Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). 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. |
| 2. | Grant Date, Price, and Plan. The grant date is February 14, 2017 and the Grant Price is set forth on the Award Summary given to each Employee to whom an Award is granted. Awards are made under the 2014 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan. |
| 3. | Term of Awards, Exercise Installments, and Last Date to Exercise. Except as otherwise noted in this Agreement, the following summary table describes term of awards, exercise installments, and last date to exercise, subject to the more detailed provisions set forth below: |
- 1 -

| Active Employee | 10 years from Grant Date | |||
| Retirement (age 55 and 5 years of service) | Prior to 6 months from Grant Date | Canceled upon Termination | ||
| 6 months from Grant Date & after | 10 years from Grant Date | |||
| Layoff | Prior to 6 months from Grant Date | Canceled upon Termination | ||
| 6 months to 1 year from Grant Date | 10 years from Grant Date (award is prorated) | |||
| 1 year from Grant Date & after | 10 years from Grant Date | |||
| Disability | Any date after Grant Date | 10 years from Grant Date | ||
| Death | Any date after Grant Date | 10 years from Grant Date | ||
| Divestitures, outsourcing, and moves to joint ventures | Any date after Grant Date | Canceled upon Termination, unless otherwise approved by Authorized Party | ||
| All other Terminations |
Canceled upon Termination | |||
| (a) | Exercise Installments and Expiration. Stock Options/SAR’s granted under this Agreement will become exercisable to the extent that one third of the number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Option/SAR (rounded down to nearest whole share) shall be exercisable on the first anniversary date of the Stock Option/SAR grant. On the second anniversary date of the Stock Option/SAR grant, an additional one third of the number of shares of Stock (rounded down to nearest whole share) shall become exercisable. On the third anniversary date of the Stock Option/SAR grant, the remaining shares shall become exercisable. To the extent that an installment is not exercised when it becomes first exercisable, it will remain exercisable at any time thereafter until the Award shall be canceled, expire, or be surrendered. A Stock Option or SAR expires on the tenth anniversary of the date on which it was granted. |
| (b) | Last Date to Exercise (Terminations). |
| (i) | General Rule for Termination. If, prior to the exercise of Stock Options/SAR grants, the Optionee’s employment with a Participating Company shall be terminated for any reason except death, Disability, Retirement, or Layoff, such Award shall be canceled and all rights thereunder shall cease; provided that the Authorized Party may, in its or his sole discretion, determine that all or any portion of any other Award shall not be canceled due to Termination of Employment. |
- 2 -
| (ii) | Layoff Within Six Months. If, prior to a date six months from the date an Award is granted, the Optionee’s employment with a Participating Company shall be terminated by reason of Layoff, such Award shall be canceled and all rights thereunder shall cease. |
| (iii) | Layoff After Six Months but 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 Optionee’s employment with a Participating Company shall be terminated by reason of Layoff, the Optionee shall retain a prorated number of the Award shares granted. The number of Award shares retained will be computed by multiplying the original number of Award shares 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. |
| (iv) | Layoff After One Year. If, on or after a date one year from the date an Award is granted, the Optionee’s employment with a Participating Company shall be terminated by reason of Layoff, the Optionee shall retain all rights provided by the Award at the time of such Termination of Employment. |
| (v) | Retirement After Six Months. If, on or after a date six months from the Grant Date of an Award, the Optionee’s employment with a Participating Company shall be terminated by reason of Retirement, the Optionee shall retain all rights provided by the Award at the time of such Termination of Employment. |
| (vi) | Disability. If, after the date the Award is granted, an Optionee shall terminate employment following Disability of the Optionee, the Optionee shall retain all rights provided by the Award at the time of such Termination of Employment. |
| (vii) | Death. If, after the date an Award is granted, an Optionee 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 executor or administrator of the estate of the Optionee or the person or persons to whom the Award shall have been validly transferred by the executor or the administrator pursuant to will or the laws of descent and distribution shall have the right to exercise the Award to the same extent the Optionee could have, had the Optionee not died. No transfer of an Award by the Optionee by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Authorized Party shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the will and such other evidence as the Authorized Party 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. |
| (viii) | Transfers and Leaves. Transfer of employment between Participating Companies shall not constitute Termination of Employment for the purpose of any Award granted under the Program. Whether any leave of absence shall constitute Termination of Employment for the purposes of any Award granted under the Program shall be determined in each case in accordance with applicable law and by application of the policies and procedures adopted by the Company in relation to such leave of absence. |
| (ix) | Divestiture, Outsourcing, or Move to Joint Venture. If, after the date the Award is granted, an Optionee ceases to be employed by a 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 |
- 3 -
| 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 Optionee is offered employment or accepts employment with the other employer), (d) the Termination of the Optionee by 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. |
| (x) | Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control, the following shall apply to any Stock Option (or SAR): |
| (1) | Each Employee shall immediately become fully vested in such Stock Option (or SAR) that is not assumed, or substituted for, by an acquirer in connection with the Change of Control, and such Stock Option or (SAR) shall not thereafter be forfeitable for any reason, except as provided in this Agreement. |
| (2) | With regard to any other Stock Option (or SAR), each Employee shall become fully vested in such Stock Option (or SAR) upon incurring a Severance following such Change of Control, and such Stock Option (or SAR) shall not thereafter be forfeitable for any reason, except as provided in this Agreement. |
| (3) | Any Stock Option (or SAR) granted to the Employee shall be exercisable at the times set forth herein. Each such Stock Option (or SAR) shall remain outstanding until ten years from the Grant Date, notwithstanding any provision of the Award Agreement or the Plan to the contrary. |
| (c) | Detrimental Activities and Suspension of Exercises. |
| (i) | 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 suspend the right of the Employee to exercise, refuse to honor the exercise of the Employee’s Awards already requested, or cancel all or part of the Award granted to the Employee. Upon any Change of Control, the Authorized Party may suspend the right of the Employee to exercise, refuse to honor the exercise of the Employee’s Awards already requested, or cancel all or part of the Award granted to the Employee only upon a determination by the Authorized Party that the Employee has given the Company Cause for such cancellation. |
| (ii) | If the Authorized Party, in its or his sole discretion, determines that the exercise of 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 exercise until such time as the exercise of the Award would no longer, in the sole discretion of the Authorized Party, have the possibility of violating such law, regulation, or decree. |
| (iii) | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any 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. |
- 4 -
| 4. | Exercising the Stock Option. The Company has retained outside firms to administer Stock Options (and SARs) granted under the Plans (the “third party administrators”). The Option (or SAR) must be exercised in accordance with methods and at times set by the third party administrator and by the Employee’s delivering to the third party administrators such authorization as may be required. |
| 5. | Payment for Shares. The Grant Price for all shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of a Stock Option, or a portion thereof, shall be paid in full at the time of such exercise. Such payment may be made in cash or by tendering shares of Stock having a value on the date of exercise equal to the Grant Price. Such value shall be the average of the high and low trading prices of the stock on the day of exercise. If the Optionee makes payment of the Grant Price by tendering shares of Stock, such Stock must be registered in the sole name of the Optionee on the exercise date or an appropriate Stock Power acceptable to the Company to transfer such stock to the sole name of the Optionee must be provided at the time of exercise. In the case of an Optionee who makes payment of the Grant Price by tendering shares of Stock, if the Company deems it appropriate, and if allowed by the applicable laws, regulations, and rulings, the Company may accept an attestation from the Optionee in lieu of actual physical delivery to the Company of the shares to be tendered. The attestation must indicate the number of shares held, and if deemed necessary by the Company, the certificate numbers if the Stock is held in certificate form, or the broker and brokerage account number if the shares are held in a brokerage account, and any other information necessary to confirm ownership of the shares. The Company may not accept an attestation in lieu of physical delivery of the shares unless the shares are held in the sole name of the Optionee either in certificate form, or in a single brokerage account, or in such other form as the Company may deem appropriate. Depending on its source, Stock tendered in the exercise of a Stock Option must have met the appropriate holding period required by current tax, accounting, legal, or other applicable rules and regulations. At the election of the Optionee (but subject to any administrative limitations on exercise of Stock Options or permissible methods of option exercise imposed), the Stock Option may also be exercised by a “net-share settlement” method for exercising outstanding nonqualified stock options. The Committee, in its sole discretion and judgment, limit the extent to which shares of Stock may be used in exercising Stock Options or limit the use of any method or time of option exercise. |
| 6. | Assignment of Option and Exercises After Death. Rights under the Plans and this Agreement cannot be assigned or transferred other than by (i) will, (ii) beneficiary designation, or (iii) the laws of descent and distribution. In the event that a beneficiary designation conflicts with an assignment by will or under the laws of descent and distribution, the beneficiary designation will prevail. Upon the death of an Employee, exercise of the grant will be permitted only by the Employee’s designated beneficiary, executor, or personal representative of the Employee’s estate. |
| 7. | Tax Withholding. In the U.S. and many countries, the difference between the Grant Price and the value of the stock at the time of an Option exercise multiplied by the number of shares purchased is compensation subject to tax withholding. The Option exercise will not be completed until all federal, state, local, and other governmental withholding tax requirements have been met. Should a withholding tax obligation arise upon the exercise of a Stock Option, the withholding tax may be satisfied by withholding shares of Stock or by payment of cash. This withholding obligation includes, but is not limited to, federal, state, and local taxes, including applicable non-U.S. taxes, such as U.K. PAYE. The Authorized Party will take such steps, as it deems necessary or desirable for the withholding of any taxes that are required by laws or regulations of any governmental authority in connection with any exercise. For SARs, the SAR Gain will be paid through the local payroll and is subject to applicable withholding taxes. |
- 5 -
| 8. | Shareholder Rights. The Employee shall not have the rights of a shareholder until the Option (or SAR) has been exercised and ownership of shares of Common Stock has been transferred to the Employee. |
| 9. | Certain Adjustments. In the event certain corporate transactions, recapitalizations, or stock splits occur while a Stock Option (or SAR) is outstanding, the Grant Price and the number of Stock Option Shares (or SARs) shall be correspondingly adjusted. |
| 10. | Relationship to the Plan. In addition to the terms and conditions described in this Agreement, Awards are subject to all other applicable provisions of the Plan. The decisions of the Committee with respect to questions arising as to the interpretation of the Plan or this Agreement or as to findings of fact shall be final, conclusive, and binding. |
| 11. | No Employment Guarantee. No provision of this Agreement shall confer any right upon the Employee to continued employment with any Participating Company. |
| 12. | Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. |
| 13. | Amendment. Without the consent of the Employee, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented (i) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or (ii) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Company for the benefit of an Employee or to add to the rights of an Employee or to surrender any right or power reserved to or conferred upon the Company in this Agreement, provided, in each case, that such changes or corrections shall not adversely affect the rights of the Employee with respect to the grant of an Option (or SAR) evidenced hereby without the Employee’s consent, or (iii) to make such other changes as the Company, upon advice of counsel, determines are necessary or advisable because of the adoption or promulgation of, or change in or of the interpretation of, any law or governmental rule or regulation, including any applicable federal or state securities or tax laws. |
