Overview
The ConocoPhillips Deferred Compensation Programs (CPDCP) is a recordkeeping umbrella for certain
nonqualified deferred compensation plans and features: the Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan
(KEDCP), including its Post-Employment Payout and Date Certain Payout features, and the Defined
Contribution Make-Up Plan (DCMP). Each of these is governed by the official plan document pertaining to
that plan.
The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA) added section 409A to the Internal Revenue Code, which changed rules for deferred compensation programs. To preserve the flexibility of the historical
ConocoPhillips plans, amounts that were deferred and vested prior to January 1, 2005 have been “grandfathered” and will retain the terms and conditions in effect at the time the AJCA became law (October
2004). For amounts that are deferred post-AJCA, the new rules will apply. Funds in each of the plans have been segregated into pre-2005 (pre-AJCA) and post-2004 (post-AJCA) sources within the Vanguard recordkeeping system.
Recordkeeper
Vanguard is the recordkeeper for the CPDCP
For current employees, there are three possible plan account types in the CPDCP. The account names match the types of distribution elections available:
1. Post-Employment Payout
• Annual bonus (VCIP)deferral
• Base salary deferral
• Performance Share Program (PSP) award deferral starting in 2013 (for those
eligible for PSP)
• Value of lapsed Restricted Stock/Restricted Stock Units (certain pre-2005
awards)
2. Date Certain Payout • Annual bonus (VCIP)deferral
• Base salary deferral
• Performance Share Program (PSP) award deferral starting in 2013 (for those
eligible for PSP)
3. Defined Contribution Makeup Plan (DCMP)
Investments include various mutual funds, the Stable Value Fund and ConocoPhillips stock
Vanguard provides the following:
• Quarterly account statements • Scheduled KEDCP payments • W-2’s for these payments
Vanguard will be the recordkeeper of any beneficiary forms

Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan (KEDCP)
Purpose The Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan (KEDCP) is a nonqualified deferral plan that permits certain key employees to voluntarily defer base salary, annual bonus (VCIP) that would otherwise be received in a subsequent year, and starting in 2013 any Performance Share Plan (PSP) awards
that would otherwise be received in cash after the completion of the performance period . As a nonqualified plan, KEDCP is not subject to certain limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code on
qualified plans such as ConocoPhillips Savings Plan.
Eligibility Active U.S. payroll employees in salary grade 19 and above. Salary grade in effect during the annual
election period in October determines eligibility.
Plan Features Eligible employees may defer compensation from the following sources:
• Up to 50% of base salary.
• Up to 100% of annual bonus (Variable Cash Incentive Program) actually paid.
• Up to 100% of Performance Share Program (PSP) award (eligibility for this program is salary
grade 22 and above) starting with PSP XI (2013 to 2015) with an anticipated payout in February
2016.
Loans are not permitted against the account.
Exchanges between available funds may be made on a daily basis, subject to insider trading restrictions.
Annual Election Period During the month of October each year:
Online elections are available through Vanguard.
You may elect to defer a portion of your base salary expected to be paid, annual bonus
expected to be earned in the following year and your Performance Share Program (PSP) award
expected to be earned in the three year performance period starting in the following year.
You should elect an investment allocation and distribution option for these deferrals.
Elections to defer are irrevocable after the close of the October election period.
Funding KEDCP is unfunded.
A grantor “rabbi” trust has been established to provide assets for KEDCP payments.
The trust is an asset of ConocoPhillips. In the event of bankruptcy, participants are unsecured
general creditors.
Distribution of Your Accounts For post-AJCA amounts, you may elect to defer payments from 1 to 5 years after separation from service, and to receive annual, semiannual or quarterly payments for a period of up to 15 years. All distributions will
be made on a calendar quarter, and payments may not begin before 12 months after separation from
service. For Date-Certain elections, the distribution will begin in the calendar quarter following the date
requested and will be paid out on the distribution schedule you elected.
You may revise your post-AJCA amount distribution schedule, but if you do, you must make the election at least one year prior to the expected commencement of the first payment, the revised schedule will not
be effective for 12 months, and the election must postpone receipt of your distribution for at least five years from the date previously in effect. Final distribution must occur within 20 years of your separation
from service. See table on next page for additional information.

The amount withheld may not represent your total obligation.
• Form W-2 will be issued by Vanguard.

Taxation
FICA taxes are due on the full award amount regardless of the amount deferred. In all
instances, the amount being deferred to your KEDCP account will be reduced to cover required tax withholding, including income taxes on such reduction.
Federal and state income taxes are generally due at the time the payments from KEDCP are made.
Effect on Retirement Benefits for ConocoPhillips Cash Balance Plan Participants
The deferred bonus award reduces the compensation eligible for calculating retirement benefits under the ConocoPhillips Cash Balance Plan.
The deferred bonus award is used in the final average earnings formula to calculate a retirement
benefit under the Key Employee Supplemental Retirement Plan (KESRP), which is paid by the Company.
The sum of the retirement benefits from the ConocoPhillips Cash Balance Plan and the Key
Employee Supplemental Retirement Plan will equal the retirement benefits that would have been
received if there had not been a bonus award deferral.
Effect on Retirement Benefits for Phillips Retirement Income Plan Participants
The deferred bonus award reduces the compensation eligible for calculating retirement benefits under the Phillips Retirement Income Plan.
The deferred bonus award is used in the final average earnings formula to calculate a retirement
benefit under the Key Employee Supplemental Retirement Plan (KESRP), which is paid by the Company.
The sum of the retirement benefits from the Phillips Retirement Income Plan and the Key
Employee Supplemental Retirement Plan will equal the retirement benefits that would have
been received if there had not been a bonus award deferral.
Effect on Retirement Benefits for Participants in the TOSCO Retirement Plans
The deferred bonus award has no effect on the retirement benefit under the TOSCO retirement plans, the Tosco Pension Plan (TPP), final average earnings formula and Alliance Cash Balance (ACB) formula, the Contribution in Lieu of Pension (CILP) and the Pension Equity Retirement
Contribution (PERC) because the bonus award is not eligible compensation for those plans.
Effect on Retirement Benefits for Retirement Plan of Conoco Participants
The deferred bonus award has no effect on the retirement benefit under the Retirement Plan of
Conoco. The full amount of the bonus is considered eligible compensation, whether deferred or not. However, benefits from the Conoco Retirement Plan may be limited by compensation restrictions imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. If such benefits are limited, they will be restored under the Key Employee Supplemental Retirement Plan (KESRP), which is paid by the
Company.

The deferred bonus award reduces the compensation eligible for calculating retirement
benefits under the Burlington Resources Inc. Pension Plan.
The deferred bonus award is used in the final average earnings formula to calculate a retirement benefit under the Key Employee Supplemental Retirement Plan (KESRP),
which is paid by the Company.
The sum of the retirement benefits from the Burlington Resources Inc. Pension Plan and

Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units are awarded under certain plans and occasionally as
special awards.
Restrictions lapse at age 65 or under the other terms as specified in the award agreement.
There are three separate methodologies used, depending on whether the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units were awarded under PSP I (2003 to 2006) with final payout in 2007
through PSP X (2012 to 2014) with final payout in 2015, LTIP X and PSP I (30% payout from February 2004), or LTIP IX and earlier.
Restricted Stock Units from the Restricted Stock Unit Program for SGL 15 – 21 are not eligible for diversification into the KEDCP.

LTIP X and PSP I (30% payout from February 2004)
Restricted Stock awards from these plans are not eligible for elective diversification into the
KEDCP.
These awards are forfeited if the PSP Participant separates from service before the restrictions lapse. However, if the PSP Participant is retiring at age 55 or more with 5 years of service, or is
laid off, the value of the awards is credited to the KEDCP.
LTIP IX and earlier
For participants who tendered their Restricted Stock awarded under ICP, SIP and LTIP in exchange for Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the exchange offer dated December 17, 2001, awards will be settled at the earlier of the following:
• Termination of Employment at any age
• An action by the Compensation Committee to settle the units. The Compensation Committee will consider settling the restricted stock units on the same schedule as outlined below for the lapsing of the restrictions on restricted stock.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards from the exchange of special restricted stock awards will be
settled at the sooner of the following:
• Termination of Employment at any age
• The time indicated in the award provisions.
Restricted Stock Unit awards from Conoco are deliverable as stock when the restrictions lapse and
cannot be deferred to KEDCP.
Delaying the Lapsing of Restricted Stock/Restricted Stock Units – or – Deferring the Value of Lapsed Restricted Stock/Restricted Stock Units
U.S. payroll employees, who are age 55 or above and have restricted stock or restricted stock
units from long term plans, are eligible to indicate a preference each year to:
• Delay the lapsing on part or all of the stock/units that would lapse and make another
election the next year
• Defer the value of the stock/units that are lapsed into KEDCP
• Receive unrestricted stock for the stock/units that are lapsed
U.S. payroll employees who have special restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards may be
eligible to indicate a preference in the year before they lapse to:
• Delay the lapsing on part or all of the stock/units. If delayed, they will be subject to the
terms described above for long term plans.
• Defer the value of the stock/units that are lapsed into KEDCP
• Receive unrestricted stock for the stock/units that are lapsed
Eligible employees must indicate a preference on or before the close of the October election period
each year.
• The indication of preference is subject to Corporate or Compensation Committee
approval.
• The indication of preference is irrevocable after the close of the October election period each year (or by the date specified for the special restricted stock/restricted stock unit awards)
• If a form for the indication of preference is not received by the deadline, unrestricted
stock will be issued when the restrictions are lapsed or the units are settled.

Updated: September, 2015
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors annually will consider lapsing
restrictions as follows:
Age 56 20% of restricted stock
Age 57 25% of restricted stock
Age 58 33.33% of restricted stock Age 59 50% of restricted stock Age 60
or over 100% of restricted stock
Restricted Stock Lapsing Example
Percent Number of Number of Shares
Age Lapsed Shares Lapsed of Restricted Stock
55 5,000
56 20% 1,000 4,000
57 25% 1,000 3,000
58 33.33% 1,000 2,000
59 50% 1,000 1,000
60 + 100% 1,000 0
Restricted Stock from LTIP IX and earlier that is diversified into the KEDCP will be paid out on the pre-AJCA (pre-2005) KEDCP distribution schedule.
Taxation
FICA tax is due on the value of the shares the earlier of the year you reach age 55 or when the restrictions lapse.
• Reporting officers must pay any FICA tax due prior to the deferral.
• For non-Reporting Officers, the FICA tax due may be:
• Paid by cash, or
• Withheld from the portion of the stock issued, or
• By deduction from your paycheck over four (4) pay periods if 100 percent of the
value of the restricted stock is deferred.
• If the employee is retired at the time the value of the restricted stock is
deferred, a personal check for the amount of FICA tax due on any additional
shares of restricted stock issued will be requested from the retiree.
FICA tax on restricted stock units resulting from the exchange of restricted stock in the
Exchange offer dated December 17, 2001 was paid (if it hadn’t been paid previously) at the time of the Change of Control when the Phillips Shareholders approved the Conoco/Phillips merger. Therefore, no FICA tax will be due when those restricted stock units are settled.
Applicable federal and state income taxes on all deferred awards are generally due at the time the payments from KEDCP are made.
• Form W-2 will be issued by Vanguard.

Defined Contribution Make-Up Plan
Updated: September, 2015
Summary
Purpose
The purpose of the Defined Contribution Make-Up Plan (DCMP) is to restore the Company matching
contributions that cannot be made in the qualified ConocoPhillips Savings Plan (CPSP) due to limitations
imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.
Eligibility
Employees in Salary Grade 19 and higher are eligible to participate in DCMP due to:
Salary limitations under the Internal Revenue Code; or
A voluntary salary deferral under Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan (KEDCP).
Savings Plan Limitations
The Internal Revenue Code limits the amount of eligible earnings used under the ConocoPhillips
Savings Plan (CPSP) to $265,000 for 2015 (subject to future cost of living adjustments). When your year-to-date eligible earnings exceed this IRS compensation limit, the value of the Company match
will be credited to DCMP.
If you voluntarily defer your base salary under KEDCP, the value of the missed Company match associated with the deferred portion of your base salary will be credited to DCMP.
There are no employee contributions in DCMP.

funds.
Quarterly account statements are provided by Vanguard.
Participants need to make annual irrevocable elections, generally in October regarding the time and form of payout, and investment choices for each plan year.
If no election is made, the default payout schedule is lump-sum six months after separation from
service invested in the Stable Value Fund.
DCMP accounts originating prior to 2005 are tracked separately and have slightly different
rules, as described in the tables that follow.

You may revise your distribution schedule for amounts vested after December 31, 2004, but if you do, you must make the election at least one year prior to the expected commencement of the first payment, the
revised schedule will not be effective for 12 months, and the election must postpone receipt of your distribution for at least five years from the date previously in effect. Final distribution must occur within 20 years of your separation from service. No more than 4 revisions may be made to the distribution schedule,
subject to the rules stated above.
If a participant dies, the value of the DCMP account is paid as a lump sum to the participant’s beneficiary, or if there has been a distribution schedule selected, it will be paid according to the participant’s elections with regard to time and form of payment.

Taxation FICA tax is due at the time the missed Company contribution is credited to a Participant’s DCMP account and will be withheld from the next payroll check (some employees, generally only reporting
officers, may be subject to alternate arrangements due to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. You will be notified in that event).
Applicable federal and state income taxes are generally withheld from the lump sum payment
following separation from service, or from KEDCP payments if DCMP is deferred into KEDCP.
Funding
DCMP is unfunded. A grantor “rabbi” trust has been established to provide assets for KEDCP
payments, and the trust is an asset of the Company. In the event of bankruptcy, participants are
unsecured general creditors.
