GRANT
1.1 Grant. Pursuant to the Company’s 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and
subject further to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company and Employee enter into
this Agreement pursuant to which Employee may earn up to {2 * Target} Performance Units. Each
Performance Unit represents the value of one share of the $0.10 par value common stock of the
Company (“Performance Units”). Upon the Company’s achievement of pre-determined objectives for a
specified performance period, the Company will pay out to Employee some or all of the Performance
Units as hereinafter described. The Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Company’s Board of
Directors (the “Committee”) reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make such payment in
cash, shares of Company common stock, or a combination of both.

PRE-DETERMINED PROVISIONS
PRE-DETERMINED PROVISIONS
2.1 Performance Period. Pursuant to this Agreement, the three-year period beginning on
January 1, 2007 and ending on December 31, 2009 will be the performance period (the “Performance
Period”).
2.2 Performance Awards. Employee may earn a target of (a) {1/2 * Target} Performance
Units, up to a maximum of {Target} Performance Units during the Performance Period with respect to
the First Performance Objective, and (b) {1/2 * Target} Performance Units, up to a maximum of
{Target} Performance Units during the Performance Period with respect to the Second Performance
Objective. In no circumstances may Employee earn more than {2 * Target} Performance Units during
the Performance Period.
2.3.1 First Performance Objective. The number of Performance Units to be earned by
Employee for the Performance Period with respect to the First Performance Objective will be
determined at the end of the Performance Period by comparing the Company’s total shareholder return
(“TSR”) over the Performance Period to the TSRs of the Peer Companies’ for the same Performance
Period. For purposes of such comparison, TSR will be calculated as follows:
Average per share Stock Price for the last 60 Business Days of the Performance Period
1
minus
Average per share Stock Price for the 60 Business Days preceding the beginning of the Performance
Period
plus
Dividends (cash or stock) paid per share over the Performance Period
the above total of which is divided by
Average per share Stock Price for the 60 Business Days preceding the beginning of the Performance
Period
“Stock Price” is defined as the average of the high and low prices for one share of the
Company’s common stock in one trading day and shall be adjusted for stock splits, spin-offs,
mergers or any other corporate securities transaction affecting Stock Price, as determined by the
Committee.
“Business Days” are defined as any days the New York Stock Exchange is open and shares of
stock are actively traded.
2.3.2 Peer Companies. For the Performance Period, the following companies are
the peer companies (“Peer Companies”) to be used in the award determination with respect to the
First Performance Objective. Any Peer Company that ceases to be a publicly traded entity on a
recognized stock exchange during the Performance Period will be removed from the Peer Company list
and will be replaced with one of the following “Alternate Peer Companies”: Chevron Corporation,
Chesapeake Energy Corporation, and XTO Energy Inc. When an Alternate Peer Company is added to the
Peer Company list pursuant to this paragraph, such company will be added to the Peer Company list
in the order set forth above. The Committee may evaluate for inclusion or exclusion any Peer
Company that merges with or is acquired by another Peer Company during the Performance Period. No
company, other than an Alternate Peer Company, may be added to the list during the Performance
Period.

2.3.3 Award Determination for First Performance Objective. At the end of the
Performance Period, the Peer Companies and the Company shall be ranked together based on their TSR
for the Performance Period from the highest TSR being number 1 to the lowest TSR being the number
of Peer Companies, including the Company, remaining in the group at the end of the Performance
Period. Based on the Company’s relative TSR rank amongst the Peer Companies for the Performance
Period, Employee will have earned Performance Units as determined by the Company’s percentile rank
as follows:
(A) If the Company’s relative TSR rank is equal to or above the 50th percentile of
the Peer Companies, Employee will have earned and the Company will issue to Employee a number of
Performance Units equal to {1/2 * Target} multiplied by two times the Company’s percentile rank as
determined under the matrices of Exhibit I.
(B) If the Company’s relative TSR rank is equal to or greater than the 50th
percentile and the Company’s TSR is less than the TSR of the Peer Company immediately above the
Company in the relative ranking by not more than one percentage point, then the payouts for both
rankings (the Company’s ranking, as determined under the matrices of Exhibit I, and the ranking of
the Peer Company immediately above the Company in the relative ranking, as determined under the
matrices of Exhibit I) will be averaged to determine the number of Performance Units which will be
earned by Employee.
(C) If the Company’s relative TSR rank falls directly below the relative TSR rank of a Peer
Company whose rank represents the first payout level for the Performance Period in which the number
of shares earned is greater than zero (as depicted in the matrices of Exhibit I, based on the
number of Peer Companies included under Section 2.3 of this Agreement), and the Company’s TSR is
less than the TSR of such Peer Company by not more than five percentage points, then the Company
will issue to Employee a number of Performance Units equal to {1/2 * Target} multiplied by two
times the percentile rank of the first payout level. The Committee may reduce such award in its
discretion, but in no event may it increase the award above the first payout level.
2.4.1 Second Performance Objective. The number of Performance Units Employee may earn
for the Performance Period with respect to the Second Performance Objective will be determined at
the end of the Performance Period by calculating the Company’s Reserve Replacement Efficiency
(“RRE”) ratio for the three-year period beginning on January 1, 2007 and ending on December 31,
2009, calculated as follows:
“Margin” per Barrels of Oil Equivalent (“BOE”) where Margin equals Revenues minus Cash Costs,
Interest Expenses and Cash Income Taxes
divided by
“Finding and Development Cost” (“F&D”) per BOE where F&D equals Oil & Gas Segment Capital
Expenditures (adjusted for changes in future development costs discounted at 10%) divided by Total
Reserve Adds (which includes Discoveries, Extensions, Revisions and Acquisitions)

2.4.2 Award Determination for Second Performance Objective. At the end of the
Performance Period, the Company will determine the RRE ratio during the Performance Period.
Employee will have earned and the Company will issue to Employee a number of Performance Units
equal to {1/2 * Target} multiplied by the applicable payout percentage, as determined under Exhibit
II. For purposes of this Section 2.4.2, the RRE ratio, as determined by the Company, will be
rounded to two decimal places.
2.5 Payout of Award. Performance Units earned for the Performance Period shall only
be issued to Employee as soon as practicable following the Committee’s formal review and
certification of the actual TSR and RRE performance results for the Performance Period.
2.6 Retirement. If Employee’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the
Performance Period by reason of Retirement, the Company will issue to Employee, at the end of the
Performance Period and subject to Section 2.5 of this Agreement, the number of Performance Units as
determined under Sections 2.3.3 and 2.4.2 of this Agreement multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the total number of completed and partial calendar months of employment (rounded to the
next whole month) with the Company during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is
36. For purposes of this Section 2.6, “Retirement” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the
Anadarko Retirement Plan.
2.7 Involuntary Termination. Notwithstanding Section 2.6 of this Agreement, if
Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company prior to the end of the Performance Period, and
Employee is eligible for and receives severance benefits either (a) under the Anadarko Petroleum Corporation
Officer Severance Plan, or (b) pursuant to an individual employment,
retention or similar agreement, then Section 2.6 of this Agreement shall not apply and the Company shall
issue to Employee {Target} Performance Units as soon as practicable following the Employee’s
termination of employment.
2.8 Change of Control. If a Change of Control, as defined in the Plan, occurs prior
to the end of the Performance Period, the Company shall issue to Employee {Target} Performance
Units as soon as practicable following the effective date of the Change of Control.
2.9 Death or Disability. If Employee’s employment terminates due to death or
Disability (as defined herein) prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Company shall issue
to Employee {Target} Performance Units as soon as practicable following the Employee’s termination
of employment as a result of such death or Disability.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean any termination as a result of the
Employee’s disability under circumstances entitling him to benefits under the Company’s long-term
disability plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, increase the number of
Performance Units to be transferred to Employee pursuant to this Section 2.9 up to a total of {2 *
Target} Performance Units.
2.10 Other Termination. Upon a termination of employment prior to the end of the
4
Performance Period other than as contemplated by Sections 2.6 (“Retirement”), 2.7 (“Involuntary
Termination”) or 2.9 (“Death or Disability”), this Agreement shall immediately terminate and all
Performance Units shall be forfeited upon termination of employment.
