Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements   ConocoPhillips
Note 1—Interim Financial Information
The interim-period financial information presented in the financial statements included in this report is unaudited and includes all known accruals and adjustments, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of ConocoPhillips and its results of operations and cash flows for such periods. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. To enhance your understanding of these interim financial statements, see the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Note 2—Changes in Accounting Principles
SFAS No. 157
Effective January 1, 2008, we implemented Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for its measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We elected to implement this Statement with the one-year deferral permitted by FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value, except those that are recognized or disclosed on a recurring basis (at least annually). The deferral applies to nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in a business combination; impaired properties, plants and equipment; intangible assets and goodwill; and initial recognition of asset retirement obligations and restructuring costs for which we use fair value. We do not expect any significant impact to our consolidated financial statements when we implement SFAS No. 157 for these assets and liabilities.
Due to our election under FSP 157-2, for 2008, SFAS No. 157 applies to commodity and foreign currency derivative contracts and certain nonqualified deferred compensation and retirement plan assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition. The implementation of SFAS No. 157 did not cause a change in the method of calculating fair value of assets or liabilities, with the exception of incorporating the impact of our nonperformance risk on derivative liabilities—which was not material. The primary impact from adoption was additional disclosures.
SFAS No. 157 requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about pricing by market participants.
We value our exchange-cleared derivatives using unadjusted closing prices provided by the exchange as of the balance sheet date, and these are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Over the counter (OTC) financial swaps and physical commodity purchase and sale contracts are generally valued using quotations provided by brokers and price index developers such as Platts and Oil Price Information Service. These are classified as Level 2. In certain less liquid markets or for longer-term contracts, forward prices are not as readily available. In these circumstances, OTC swaps and physical commodity purchase and sale contracts are valued using internally developed methodologies that consider historical relationships among various commodities that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. These contracts are classified as Level 3.
Exchange-cleared financial options are valued using exchange closing prices and are classified as Level 1. Financial OTC and physical commodity options are valued using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and

Table of Contents

contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. The degree to which these inputs are observable in the forward markets determines whether the option is classified as Level 2 or 3.
As permitted under SFAS No. 157, we use a mid-market pricing convention (the mid-point price between bid and ask prices). When appropriate, valuations are adjusted to reflect credit considerations, generally based on available market evidence.
The fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2008, was:
                                 
    Millions of Dollars
    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
     
Assets
                               
Commodity derivatives
  $ 7,990       4,310       40       12,340

          50             50  
Nonqualified benefit plans
    412                   412

Net assets (liabilities)
  $ 515       (248 )     (56 )     211  
 
The derivative values above are based on analysis of each contract as the fundamental unit of account as required by SFAS No. 157. Derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are not netted where the legal right of offset exists, which is different than the net presentation basis in Note 13—Financial Instruments and Derivative Contracts. Gains or losses from contracts in one level may be offset by gains or losses on contracts in another level or by changes in values of physical contracts or positions that are not reflected in the table above.

SFAS No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This Statement permits the election to carry financial instruments and certain other items similar to financial instruments at fair value on the balance sheet, with all changes in fair value reported in earnings. By electing the fair value option in conjunction with a derivative, an entity can achieve an accounting result similar to a fair value hedge without having to comply with complex hedge accounting rules. We adopted this Statement effective January 1, 2008, but did not make a fair value election at that time or during the first six months of 2008 for any financial instruments not already carried at fair value in accordance with other accounting standards. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
Note 3—Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
We have a 24 percent interest in West2East Pipeline LLC (West2East), a company holding a 100 percent interest in Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (Rockies Express). West2East is a VIE, but we are not the primary beneficiary. We use the equity method of accounting for our investment. In 2007, we issued a guarantee for 24 percent of the $2 billion in credit facilities of Rockies Express. In addition, we have a guarantee for 24 percent of $600 million of Floating Rate Notes due 2009 issued by Rockies Express. At June 30, 2008, the book value of our investment in West2East was $249 million. See Note 11—Guarantees, for additional information.
We have a 30 percent ownership interest with a 50 percent governance interest in the OOO Naryanmarneftegaz (NMNG) joint venture to develop resources in the Timan-Pechora province of Russia. The NMNG joint venture is a VIE because we and our related party, OAO LUKOIL, have disproportionate interests. We are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE and we use the equity method of accounting for this investment. At June 30, 2008, the book value of our investment in the venture was $2,063 million.
Note 4—Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following:
                 
    Millions of Dollars  
    June 30     December 31  
    2008     2007  
     
 
               
Crude oil and petroleum products
  $ 5,854       3,373  
Materials, supplies and other
    903       850  
 
 
  $ 6,757       4,223  
 
Inventories valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis totaled $5,513 million and $2,974 million at June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively. The remaining inventories were valued under various methods, including first-in, first-out and weighted average. The excess of current replacement cost over LIFO cost of inventories amounted to $12,234 million and $6,668 million at June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Note 5—Assets Held for Sale
Noncurrent assets and noncurrent liabilities classified as current assets and current liabilities under the “held for sale” provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” totaled $1,092 million and $159 million, respectively, at December 31, 2007 . During the first six months of 2008, a portion of these held-for-sale assets were sold, and additional assets met the held-for-sale criteria. As a result, at June 30, 2008, we classified $1,179 million of noncurrent assets as “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on our consolidated balance sheet and we classified $303 million of noncurrent liabilities as current liabilities, consisting of $164 million in “Accrued income and other taxes” and $139 million in “Other accruals.” Contingent upon necessary regulatory approvals, we expect the disposal of these assets to be substantially completed by the end of 2008.

Note 6—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables
LUKOIL
Our ownership interest in LUKOIL was 20 percent at June 30, 2008, based on 851 million shares authorized and issued. For financial reporting under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, treasury shares held by LUKOIL are not considered outstanding for determining our equity-method ownership interest in LUKOIL. Our ownership interest, based on estimated shares outstanding, was also 20 percent at June 30, 2008, compared with 20.6 percent at December 31, 2007.
At June 30, 2008, the book value of our ordinary share investment in LUKOIL was $12,393 million. Our share of the net assets of LUKOIL was estimated to be $9,900 million. This basis difference of $2,493 million is primarily being amortized on a unit-of-production basis. On June 30, 2008, the closing price of LUKOIL shares on the London Stock Exchange was $98.60 per share, making the total market value of our LUKOIL investment $16,773 million.
Loans to Related Parties
As part of our normal ongoing business operations and consistent with industry practice, we invest and enter into numerous agreements with other parties to pursue business opportunities, which share costs and apportion risks among the parties as governed by the agreements. Included in such activity are loans made to certain affiliated companies. The long-term portion of these loans are included in the “Loans and advances—related parties” balance sheet line item, while the short-term portion is included in “Accounts and notes receivable—related parties.” Significant loans to affiliated companies at June 30, 2008, included the following:
    $644 million in loan financing and an additional $116 million of accrued interest to Freeport LNG Development, L.P. for the construction of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility. We expect to provide loan financing of approximately $678 million, excluding accrued interest, for the construction of the facility. The terminal became operational late in the second quarter of 2008.
 
    $359 million in loan financing and an additional $46 million of accrued interest to Varandey Terminal Company associated with the costs of a terminal expansion. We expect our total financing obligation for the terminal expansion to be approximately $390 million at current exchange rates, excluding interest to be accrued during construction.
 
    $787 million of project financing and an additional $60 million of accrued interest to Qatargas 3, an integrated project to produce and liquefy natural gas from Qatar’s North field. Our maximum exposure to this financing structure is $1.2 billion, excluding accrued interest.

Suspended Wells
The company’s capitalized cost of suspended wells at June 30, 2008, was $694 million, an increase of $105 million from $589 million at year-end 2007. For the category of exploratory well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year as of December 31, 2007, $12 million was charged to dry hole expense during the first six months of 2008.
Note 8—Impairments
Expropriated Assets
In the second quarter of 2007, we recorded a noncash impairment, including allocable goodwill, of $4,588 million before-tax ($4,512 million after-tax) related to our investments in the Petrozuata and Hamaca heavy-oil ventures and the offshore Corocoro oil development project in Venezuela. See Note 13—Impairments, in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for additional information.

Table of Contents

During the second quarter and six-month period of 2008, property impairments were primarily associated with planned asset dispositions.
During the second quarter and six-month period of 2007, we recorded property impairments for:
    The write-down of held-for-sale assets to fair value, less cost to sell.
 
    Changes in asset retirement obligations for properties at the end of their economic life.
 
    The write-down of abandoned properties or projects.
In addition and in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the six-month period of 2007 included a $128 million gain for the subsequent increase in the fair value of certain assets impaired in the prior year to reflect finalized sales agreements. This gain was netted with write-downs into the “Impairments” line of the consolidated income statement.
Note 9—Debt
In January 2008, we reduced our Floating Rate Five-Year Term Note due 2011 from $3 billion to $2 billion, with a subsequent reduction in June 2008 to $1.5 billion. In March 2008, we redeemed our $300 million 7.125% Debentures due 2028 at a premium of $8 million, plus accrued interest.
In May 2008, we issued notes consisting of $400 million of 4.40% Notes due 2013, $500 million of 5.20% Notes due 2018 and $600 million of 5.90% Notes due 2038. The proceeds from the offering were used to reduce commercial paper and for general corporate purposes.
At June 30, 2008, we had a $7.5 billion revolving credit facility, which expires in September 2012. The facility may be used as direct bank borrowings, as support for the ConocoPhillips $7.5 billion commercial paper program, as support for the ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. $1.5 billion commercial paper program, or as support for issuances of letters of credit totaling up to $750 million. At June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, we had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, but $40 million and $41 million, respectively, in letters of credit had been issued. Under both commercial paper programs, $1,314 million of commercial paper was outstanding at June 30, 2008, compared with $725 million at December 31, 2007.
Also at June 30, 2008, we classified $2,264 million of short-term debt as long-term debt, based on our ability and intent to refinance the obligations on a long-term basis under our revolving credit facilities.
Note 10—Joint Venture Acquisition Obligation
On January 3, 2007, we closed on a business venture with EnCana Corporation. As part of this transaction, we are obligated to contribute $7.5 billion, plus interest, over a ten-year period, which began in 2007, to the upstream business venture, FCCL Oil Sands Partnership, which was formed as a result of the transaction.
Quarterly principal and interest payments of $237 million began in the second quarter of 2007, and will continue until the balance is paid. Of the principal obligation amount, approximately $609 million is short-term and is included in the “Accounts payable—related parties” line on our June 30, 2008, consolidated balance sheet. The principal portion of these payments, which totaled $293 million in the first six months of 2008, is presented on our consolidated statement of cash flows as an other financing activity. Interest accrues at a fixed annual rate of 5.3 percent on the unpaid principal balance. Fifty percent of the quarterly interest payment is reflected as a capital contribution and is included in the “Capital expenditures and investments” line on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

Note 11—Guarantees
At June 30, 2008, we were liable for certain contingent obligations under various contractual arrangements as described below. We recognize a liability, at inception, for the fair value of our obligation as a guarantor for newly issued or modified guarantees. Unless the carrying amount of the liability is noted below, we have not recognized a liability either because the guarantees were issued prior to December 31, 2002, or because the fair value of the obligation is immaterial.
Construction Completion Guarantees
    In December 2005, we issued a construction completion guarantee for 30 percent of the $4.0 billion in loan facilities of Qatargas 3, which will be used to construct an LNG train in Qatar. Of the $4.0 billion in loan facilities, ConocoPhillips has committed to provide $1.2 billion. The maximum potential amount of future payments to third-party lenders under the guarantee is estimated to be $850 million, which could become payable if the full debt financing is utilized and completion of the Qatargas 3 project is not achieved. The project financing will be nonrecourse to ConocoPhillips upon certified completion, currently expected in 2010. At June 30, 2008, the carrying value of the guarantee to the third-party lenders was $11 million. For additional information, see Note 6—Investments, Loans and Long-Term Receivables.
Guarantees of Joint-Venture Debt
    In June 2006, we issued a guarantee for 24 percent of the $2 billion in credit facilities of Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (Rockies Express), which will be used to construct a natural gas pipeline across a portion of the United States. At June 30, 2008, Rockies Express had $740 million outstanding under the credit facilities, with our 24 percent guarantee equaling $178 million. The maximum potential amount of future payments to third-party lenders under the guarantee is estimated to be $480 million, which could become payable if the credit facility is fully utilized and Rockies Express fails to meet its obligations under the credit agreement. In addition, we also have a guarantee for 24 percent of $600 million of Floating Rate Notes due 2009 issued by Rockies Express in September 2007. It is anticipated final construction completion will be achieved in 2009, and refinancing will take place at that time, making the debt nonrecourse to ConocoPhillips. At June 30, 2008, the total carrying value of these guarantees to third-party lenders was $12 million. See Note 3—Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), for additional information.
    At June 30, 2008, we had other guarantees outstanding for our portion of joint-venture debt obligations, which have terms of up to 17 years. The maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantees is approximately $90 million. Payment would be required if a joint venture defaults on its debt obligations.
Other Guarantees
    The Merey Sweeny, L.P. (MSLP) joint-venture project agreement requires the partners in the venture to pay cash calls to cover operating expenses in the event the venture does not have enough cash to cover operating expenses after setting aside the amount required for debt service over the next 16 years. Although there is no maximum limit stated in the agreement, the intent is to cover short-term cash deficiencies should they occur. Our maximum potential future payments under the agreement are currently estimated to be $100 million, assuming such a shortfall exists at some point in the future due to an extended operational disruption.
    In February 2003, we entered into two agreements establishing separate guarantee facilities of $50 million each for two LNG ships. Subject to the terms of each such facility, we will be required to make payments should the charter revenue generated by the respective ship fall below certain specified minimum thresholds, and we will receive payments to the extent that such revenues exceed those thresholds. The net maximum future payments that we may have to make over the 20-year terms of the two agreements could be up to $100 million in total. To the extent we receive any such payments, our

12


Table of Contents

      actual gross payments over the 20 years could exceed that amount. In the event either ship is sold or a total loss occurs, we also may have recourse to the sales or insurance proceeds to recoup payments made under the guarantee facilities.
    We have guarantees of the residual value of leased corporate aircraft. The maximum potential payment under these guarantees at June 30, 2008, was $150 million.
    In December 2007, we acquired a 50 percent equity interest in the Keystone Oil Pipeline (Keystone) to form a 50/50 joint venture with TransCanada Corporation. Keystone plans to construct a crude oil pipeline originating in Hardisty, Alberta, with delivery points at Wood River and Patoka, Illinois, and Cushing, Oklahoma. In connection with certain planning and construction activities, agreements were put in place with third parties to guarantee the payments due. Our maximum potential amount of future payments under those agreements are estimated to be $400 million, which could become payable if Keystone fails to meet its obligations under the agreements noted above and the obligation cannot otherwise be mitigated. Payments under the guarantees are contingent upon the partners not making necessary equity contributions into Keystone; therefore, it is considered unlikely that payments would be required. All but $15 million of the guarantees will terminate after construction is completed, currently estimated to be in 2010.
    We have other guarantees with maximum future potential payment amounts totaling $200 million, which consist primarily of dealer and jobber loan guarantees to support our marketing business, guarantees to fund the short-term cash liquidity deficits of certain joint ventures, one small construction completion guarantee, guarantees relating to the startup of a refining joint venture, and guarantees of the lease payment obligations of a joint venture. These guarantees generally extend up to 10 years or life of the venture and payment would be required only if the dealer, jobber or lessee goes into default, if the joint ventures have cash liquidity issues, if a construction project is not completed, or if a guaranteed party defaults on lease payments.
Indemnifications
Over the years, we have entered into various agreements to sell ownership interests in certain corporations and joint ventures and have sold several assets, including downstream and midstream assets, certain exploration and production assets, and downstream retail and wholesale sites that gave rise to qualifying indemnifications. Agreements associated with these sales include indemnifications for taxes, environmental liabilities, permits and licenses, employee claims, real estate indemnity against tenant defaults, and litigation. The terms of these indemnifications vary greatly. The majority of these indemnifications are related to environmental issues, the term is generally indefinite and the maximum amount of future payments is generally unlimited. The carrying amount recorded for these indemnifications at June 30, 2008, was $454 million. We amortize the indemnification liability over the relevant time period, if one exists, based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each type of indemnity. In cases where the indemnification term is indefinite, we will reverse the liability when we have information the liability is essentially relieved or amortize the liability over an appropriate time period as the fair value of our indemnification exposure declines. Although it is reasonably possible future payments may exceed amounts recorded, due to the nature of the indemnifications, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments. Included in the carrying amount recorded were $256 million of environmental accruals for known contamination that is included in asset retirement obligations and accrued environmental costs at June 30, 2008. For additional information about environmental liabilities, see Note 12—Contingencies and Commitments.
Note 12—Contingencies and Commitments
In the case of all known non-income-tax-related contingencies, we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue

13


Table of Contents

receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we adopted FIN 48, effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 requires a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain.
Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.
Environmental
We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These may result in obligations to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various sites. When we prepare our consolidated financial statements, we record accruals for environmental liabilities based on management’s best estimates, using all information that is available at the time. We measure estimates and base liabilities on currently available facts, existing technology, and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into account stakeholder and business considerations. When measuring environmental liabilities, we also consider our prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites, other companies’ cleanup experience, and data released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or other organizations. We consider unasserted claims in our determination of environmental liabilities and we accrue them in the period that they are both probable and reasonably estimable.
Although liability of those potentially responsible for environmental remediation costs is generally joint and several for federal sites and frequently so for state sites, we are usually only one of many companies cited at a particular site. Due to the joint and several liabilities, we could be responsible for all of the cleanup costs related to any site at which we have been designated as a potentially responsible party. If we were solely responsible, the costs, in some cases, could be material to our, or one of our segments’, results of operations, capital resources or liquidity. However, settlements and costs incurred in matters that previously have been resolved have not been material to our results of operations or financial condition. We have been successful to date in sharing cleanup costs with other financially sound companies. Many of the sites at which we are potentially responsible are still under investigation by the EPA or the state agencies concerned. Prior to actual cleanup, those potentially responsible normally assess the site conditions, apportion responsibility and determine the appropriate remediation. In some instances, we may have no liability or may attain a settlement of liability. Where it appears that other potentially responsible parties may be financially unable to bear their proportional share, we consider this inability in estimating our potential liability and we adjust our accruals accordingly.
As a result of various acquisitions in the past, we assumed certain environmental obligations. Some of these environmental obligations are mitigated by indemnifications made by others for our benefit and some of the indemnifications are subject to dollar limits and time limits. We have not recorded accruals for any potential contingent liabilities that we expect to be funded by the prior owners under these indemnifications.
We are currently participating in environmental assessments and cleanups at numerous federal Superfund and comparable state sites. After an assessment of environmental exposures for cleanup and other costs, we make accruals on an undiscounted basis (except for those acquired in a purchase business combination, which we record on a discounted basis) for planned investigation and remediation activities for sites where it is probable that future costs will be incurred and these costs can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2008, our balance

14


Table of Contents

sheet included a total environmental accrual of $1,046 million, compared with $1,089 million at December 31, 2007. We expect to incur the majority of these expenditures within the next 30 years. We have not reduced these accruals for possible insurance recoveries. In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessments, cleanups and proceedings.
Legal Proceedings
Our legal organization applies its knowledge, experience, and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases. This process also enables us to track those cases which have been scheduled for trial, as well as the pace of settlement discussions in individual matters. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, our legal organization believes there is a remote likelihood future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Other Contingencies
We have contingent liabilities resulting from throughput agreements with pipeline and processing companies not associated with financing arrangements. Under these agreements, we may be required to provide any such company with additional funds through advances and penalties for fees related to throughput capacity not utilized. In addition, at June 30, 2008, we had performance obligations secured by letters of credit of $1,967 million (of which $40 million was issued under the provisions of our revolving credit facility, and the remainder was issued as direct bank letters of credit) and various purchase commitments for materials, supplies, services and items of permanent investment incident to the ordinary conduct of business.

Note 18—Segment Disclosures and Related Information
We have organized our reporting structure based on the grouping of similar products and services, resulting in six operating segments:
  1)   E&P—This segment primarily explores for, produces, transports and markets crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids on a worldwide basis.
 
  2)   Midstream—This segment gathers, processes and markets natural gas produced by ConocoPhillips and others, and fractionates and markets natural gas liquids, primarily in the United States and Trinidad. The Midstream segment primarily consists of our 50 percent equity investment in DCP Midstream.
 
  3)   R&M—This segment purchases, refines, markets and transports crude oil and petroleum products, mainly in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific.
 
  4)   LUKOIL Investment—This segment represents our investment in the ordinary shares of LUKOIL, an international, integrated oil and gas company headquartered in Russia. At June 30, 2008, our ownership interest was 20 percent based on both issued shares and estimated shares outstanding.
 
  5)   Chemicals—This segment manufactures and markets petrochemicals and plastics on a worldwide basis. The Chemicals segment consists of our 50 percent equity investment in CPChem.
 
  6)   Emerging Businesses—This segment represents our investment in new technologies or businesses outside our normal scope of operations.

Note 19—Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2008 was 44 percent and 45 percent, respectively, compared with 91 percent and 60 percent for the same two periods of 2007. The change in the effective tax rate for the second quarter and six months of 2008, versus the same periods of 2007, was primarily due to the impact of the expropriation of our oil interests in Venezuela on 2007 results (see the “Expropriated Assets” section of Note 13—Impairments, in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for additional information), partially offset by the impact of a higher proportion of income in higher tax-rate jurisdictions in 2008. The effective tax rate in excess of the domestic federal statutory rate of 35 percent was primarily due to the impact of foreign taxes.
Note 20—New Accounting Standards
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised), “Business Combinations” (SFAS No. 141(R)). This Statement will apply to all transactions in which an entity obtains control of one or more other businesses. In general, SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date as the fair value measurement point; and modifies the disclosure requirements. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. However, starting January 1, 2009, accounting for changes in valuation allowances for acquired deferred tax assets and the resolution of uncertain tax positions for prior business combinations will impact tax expense instead of impacting goodwill. We are currently evaluating the changes provided for in this Statement.
Also in December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51,” which changes the classification of noncontrolling interests, sometimes called a minority interest, in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, this Statement establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent company’s ownership interest that do not result in deconsolidation and requires a parent company to recognize a gain or loss when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This Statement is effective January 1, 2009, and will be applied prospectively with the

exception of the presentation and disclosure requirements which must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB No. 133.” This Statement expands the annual and interim disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” for derivative instruments within the scope of that Statement. We must adopt SFAS No. 161 no later than January 1, 2009, but it will not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements, other than the additional disclosures.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements relating to our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, and intentions, that are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “intends,” “believes,” “expects,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “should,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update, revise or correct any of the forward-looking information. Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the disclosures under the heading: “CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE ‘SAFE HARBOR’ PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995” beginning on page 51.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Our Exploration and Production (E&P) segment had net income of $3,999 million in the second quarter of 2008, which accounted for 74 percent of our total net income in the quarter. This compares with E&P net income of $2,887 million in the first quarter of 2008, and a loss of $2,404 million in the second quarter of 2007. In the second quarter of 2007, we recorded a noncash impairment of $4,588 million before-tax ($4,512 million after-tax) related to the expropriation of our oil interests in Venezuela. For additional information, see the “Expropriated Assets” section of Note 13—Impairments, in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
E&P net income in the second quarter of 2008 benefited from an increase in commodity prices. Industry crude oil prices for West Texas Intermediate averaged $123.98 per barrel in the second quarter of 2008, or $26.04 per barrel higher than the first quarter of 2008, and $59.09 per barrel higher than in the same period a year earlier. Crude oil prices were influenced by higher demand in developing economies; geopolitical supply risks; and a financial sector rotation into commodities due to fears about the falling value of the U.S. dollar, inflation and risk in credit markets.
Industry natural gas prices for Henry Hub increased during the second quarter of 2008 to $10.94 per million British thermal units (MMBTU), up $2.91 per MMBTU from the first quarter of 2008. Natural gas prices trended higher during the second quarter due to the outage of a natural gas hub in the Gulf of Mexico for a significant portion of the quarter, low storage levels, and a low level of liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports into the United States. Along with these supply issues, demand in the United States for natural gas remained in line with year-ago levels despite the increased prices.
Our Refining and Marketing (R&M) segment had net income of $664 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared with $520 million in the first quarter of 2008, and $2,358 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in net income from the previous quarter was primarily due to higher worldwide realized refining margins and improved refining operations in the U.S. Gulf Coast and United Kingdom. This improvement in realized margins was partially offset by a lower net benefit from asset rationalization efforts, as well as higher turnaround and utility costs. The decrease in net income from the second quarter of 2007 was primarily due to significantly lower U.S. refining and marketing margins, a lower net benefit from the company’s asset rationalization efforts and higher turnaround and utility costs.

Net income
  $ 5,439       301       9,578       3,847  
 
Net income was $5,439 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared with $301 million in the second quarter of 2007. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, net income was $9,578 million and $3,847 million, respectively. The higher results in both 2008 periods were primarily the result of a complete impairment in 2007 ($4,512 million after-tax) of our oil interests in Venezuela, resulting from their expropriation on June 26, 2007.
In addition, the results in both 2008 periods benefited from:
    Significantly higher crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices in our E&P segment.
 
    Increased earnings from our LUKOIL investment, primarily due to higher estimated realized prices, partially offset by higher estimated taxes.
These items were partially offset by a decrease in net income from our R&M segment, primarily due to lower domestic realized refining and marketing margins, and a reduced net benefit from asset rationalization efforts. In addition, net income decreased due to higher taxes in our E&P segment.
See the “Segment Results” section for additional information on our segment results.
Income Statement Analysis
Sales and other operating revenues increased 51 percent in the second quarter of 2008 and 42 percent in the six-month period, while purchased crude oil, natural gas and products increased 66 percent and 55 percent, respectively. These increases were mainly the result of higher petroleum product prices, and higher prices for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids.

Table of Contents

Equity in earnings of affiliates increased 20 percent in the second quarter of 2008 and 30 percent in the six-month period, reflecting improved results from:
    LUKOIL, primarily reflecting higher estimated realized prices, partially offset by higher estimated taxes.
 
    DCP Midstream, our midstream joint venture, primarily due to higher realized natural gas liquids prices and volumes.
These increases were partially offset by lower earnings from WRB Refining LLC, primarily due to lower refining margins.
Other income decreased 75 percent and 61 percent during the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to higher 2007 net gains on asset dispositions associated with asset rationalization efforts.
Production and operating costs increased 22 percent and 15 percent during the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively. Contributing to the increase were higher maintenance, well workover and repair costs in E&P and higher turnaround and utility costs in R&M.
Impairment—expropriated assets reflects a second-quarter 2007 noncash impairment of $4,588 million before-tax related to the expropriation of our oil interests in Venezuela. For additional information, see the “Expropriated Assets” section of Note 13—Impairments, in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Taxes other than income taxes increased 23 percent and 21 percent during the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively, primarily due to increased production taxes in Alaska.
Interest and debt expense decreased 34 percent and 33 percent during both periods of 2008, respectively, primarily due to lower average debt levels.

Table of Contents

The E&P segment explores for, produces, transports and markets crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids on a worldwide basis. It also mines deposits of oil sands in Canada to extract the bitumen and upgrade it into a synthetic crude oil. At June 30, 2008, our E&P operations were producing in the United States, Norway, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada, Nigeria, Ecuador, Argentina, offshore Timor-Leste in the Timor Sea, Australia, China, Indonesia, Algeria, Libya, Vietnam, and Russia.
The E&P segment reported net income of $3,999 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared with a net loss of $2,404 million in the second quarter of 2007. In the second quarter of 2007, we recorded a noncash impairment of $4,588 million before-tax ($4,512 million after-tax) related to the expropriation of our oil interests in Venezuela. For additional information, see the “Expropriated Assets” section of Note 13—Impairments, in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to the impact of the impairment, results for the second quarter of 2008 reflect higher crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices, partially offset by higher production taxes, lower volumes and higher operating costs.
Net income for the E&P segment for the first six months of 2008 was $6,886 million, compared with a net loss of $75 million for the corresponding period of 2007. In addition to the impact of the impairment noted above, the 2008 period benefited from higher crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices, partially offset by higher production taxes, lower volumes, higher operating costs, and a reduced net benefit from asset rationalization efforts. See the “Business Environment and Executive Overview” section for additional information on industry crude oil and natural gas prices.
U.S. E&P
Net income from our U.S. E&P operations increased 76 percent and 62 percent in the second quarter and six months of 2008, respectively, primarily due to higher crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices. The increases were partially offset by higher production taxes in Alaska, lower crude oil and natural gas volumes and higher operating costs.
U.S. E&P production on a barrel-of-oil-equivalent (BOE) basis averaged 787,000 BOE per day in the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of 7 percent from 848,000 BOE per day in the second quarter of 2007. The production decrease was primarily due to normal field decline, as well as unplanned downtime.
We have a long-term terminal use agreement with Freeport LNG Development, L.P. (Freeport) for 0.9 billion cubic feet per day of capacity at Freeport’s 1.5-billion-cubic-feet-per-day liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal in Quintana, Texas. The terminal became operational late in the second quarter of 2008. Due to present market conditions, which favor the flow of LNG to European and Asian markets, our near-to-mid-term utilization of the terminal is expected to be limited. Due to the process-or-pay nature of the terminal use agreement, we are responsible for monthly payments to Freeport irrespective of whether we are utilizing the terminal for regasification. However, the financial impact of this capacity underutilization is not expected to be material to our future earnings or cash flows.
International E&P
Net income from our international E&P operations was $2,147 million and $3,685 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively, compared with a net loss of $3,459 million and $2,046 million in the corresponding periods of 2007. In addition to the impact of the impairment of our oil interests in Venezuela, the 2008 periods benefited from higher crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices, partially offset by lower crude oil and natural gas volumes, lower foreign currency gains, and higher operating costs and taxes. The first six months of 2008 were also negatively impacted by a lower net benefit from asset rationalization efforts.

International E&P production averaged 944,000 BOE per day in the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of 9 percent from 1,041,000 BOE per day in the second quarter of 2007. Production decreased primarily due to the expropriation of our Venezuelan oil projects and normal field decline. These decreases were partially offset by production from new developments in Indonesia, Norway, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
Our Syncrude mining operations produced 19,000 barrels per day in the second quarter of 2008, compared with 21,000 barrels per day in the second quarter of 2007.

The Midstream segment purchases raw natural gas from producers and gathers natural gas through an extensive network of pipeline gathering systems. The natural gas is then processed to extract natural gas liquids from the raw gas stream. The remaining “residue” gas is marketed to electrical utilities, industrial users, and gas marketing companies. Most of the natural gas liquids are fractionated—separated into individual components like ethane, butane and propane—and marketed as chemical feedstock, fuel, or blendstock. The Midstream segment consists of our 50 percent equity investment in DCP Midstream, LLC, as well as our other natural gas gathering and processing operations, and natural gas liquids fractionation and marketing businesses, primarily in the United States and Trinidad.
Net income from the Midstream segment increased 59 percent and 60 percent in the second quarter and first six months of 2008. The increase in both periods was primarily due to higher realized natural gas liquids prices, slightly offset by lower natural gas liquids extraction volumes in our consolidated operations.

The R&M segment’s operations encompass refining crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products (such as gasoline, distillates and aviation fuels); buying, selling and transporting crude oil; and buying, selling, transporting, distributing and marketing petroleum products. R&M has operations mainly in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific.
Net income from the R&M segment decreased 72 percent during the second quarter of 2008 and 66 percent in the first six months of 2008. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to significantly lower domestic realized refining and marketing margins. Contributing to the lower refinery margins in the second quarter of 2008 were decreases in margins for secondary products, such as fuel oil, natural gas liquids and petroleum coke. Both periods were also impacted by higher turnaround and utility costs. The results for the six-month period of 2008 also included a lower net benefit from asset rationalization efforts.
U.S. R&M
Net income from our U.S. R&M operations decreased 69 percent in the second quarter of 2008 and 63 percent in the first six months of 2008. The decrease was primarily the result of lower refining and marketing margins and higher turnaround and utility costs.
Our U.S. refining capacity utilization rate was 94 percent in the second quarter of 2008, compared with 93 percent in the second quarter of 2007. The current year rate benefited from lower unplanned downtime.
International R&M
Net income from our international R&M operations decreased 84 percent in the second quarter of 2008 and 77 percent for the first six months of 2008. Contributing to the decrease in both periods were lower realized refining margins and a reduced net benefit from our asset rationalization efforts.
Our international refining capacity utilization rate was 88 percent in the second quarter of 2008, compared with 93 percent in the same quarter of 2007. The utilization rate was primarily impacted by reduced crude throughput at our Wilhelmshaven, Germany, refinery due to economic conditions, and planned maintenance at the Humber refinery in the United Kingdom.

This segment represents our investment in the ordinary shares of LUKOIL, an international, integrated oil and gas company headquartered in Russia, which we account for under the equity method. As of June 30, 2008, our ownership interest in LUKOIL was 20 percent based on issued shares. Our ownership interest based on estimated shares outstanding, used for equity-method accounting, was also 20 percent at June 30, 2008. During the second quarter of 2008, our equity-method accounting ownership percentage was reduced from 20.6 to 20 percent as a result of LUKOIL’s issuance of treasury shares in connection with an acquisition.

Since LUKOIL’s accounting cycle close and preparation of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles financial statements occur subsequent to our reporting deadline, our equity earnings and statistics for our LUKOIL investment are estimated, based on current market indicators, publicly available LUKOIL operating results, and other objective data. Once the difference between actual and estimated results is known, an adjustment is recorded. This estimate-to-actual adjustment will be a recurring component of future period results. The adjustment to first-quarter 2008 estimates, recorded in the second quarter of 2008, decreased net income $120 million. This compares with a decrease to net income of $44 million in the second quarter of 2007.
In addition to our estimate of our equity share of LUKOIL’s earnings, this segment reflects the amortization of the basis difference between our equity interest in the net assets of LUKOIL and the historical cost of our investment in LUKOIL, and also includes the costs associated with our employees seconded to LUKOIL.
Net income from the LUKOIL Investment segment increased 47 percent in the second quarter of 2008 and 90 percent in the first six months of 2008. The increase in net income from the second quarter of 2007 was primarily due to higher estimated realized prices, partially offset by higher estimated taxes and operating costs, as well as the net impact from the alignment of estimated net income to LUKOIL’s reported results. The increase in the first six months of 2008 was primarily due to higher estimated realized prices, partially offset by higher estimated taxes and operating costs.

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50 percent interest in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem), which we account for under the equity method. CPChem uses natural gas liquids and other feedstocks to produce petrochemicals. These products are then marketed and sold, or used as feedstocks to produce plastics and commodity chemicals.
Net income from the Chemicals segment decreased 74 percent and 53 percent in the second quarter of 2008 and first six months of 2008, respectively. The decrease in both periods was due to lower benzene and polyethylene margins as the result of significant increases in feedstock costs, as well as higher utility and turnaround costs. This decrease was partially offset by an asset retirement in 2007. Business conditions in the chemicals and plastics industry are expected to remain challenging in the near term.

Activities within this segment are currently focused on power generation and other items, such as carbon-to-liquids, technology solutions, and alternative energy and programs, such as advanced hydrocarbon processes, energy conversion technologies, new petroleum-based products, and renewable fuels.
The Emerging Businesses segment reported net income of $8 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared with a net loss of $12 million in the same quarter of 2007. Net income for the first six months of 2008 was $20 million, compared with a net loss of $13 million for the same period a year ago. The improvement for both periods primarily reflects improved international power generation results. The improvements were partially offset by lower domestic power results and increased technology spending.

Net interest consists of interest and financing expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest, as well as premiums incurred on the early retirement of debt. Net interest decreased 47 percent in the second quarter of 2008 and 51 percent in the first six months of 2008. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to lower average debt levels, as well as higher amounts of interest being capitalized. The first six months of 2008 also benefited from higher interest income.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 26 percent and 45 percent in the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively. The increase in both periods was primarily due to higher corporate staff costs and benefit-related expenses.
Acquisition-related costs in 2007 included transition costs associated with the Burlington Resources acquisition.

To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we look to a variety of funding sources. Cash generated from operating activities is the primary source of funding. In addition, during the first six months of 2008, we raised $441 million in proceeds from asset dispositions. During the first six months, available cash was used to support our ongoing capital expenditures and investments program, repurchase shares of our common stock, provide loan financing to certain equity affiliates, pay dividends, and meet the funding requirements to FCCL Oil Sands Partnership (FCCL). Total dividends paid on our common stock during the first six months were $1,449 million. During the first half of 2008, cash and cash equivalents decreased $669 million to $787 million.
In addition to cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from asset sales, we rely on our cash balance, commercial paper and credit facility programs, and our shelf registration statements, to support our short- and long-term liquidity requirements. We anticipate these sources of liquidity will be adequate to meet our funding requirements in the near- and long-term, including our capital spending program, our share repurchase programs, dividend payments, required debt payments and the funding requirements to FCCL.
Significant Sources of Capital
Operating Activities
During the first six months of 2008, cash of $12,021 million was provided by operating activities, a 3 percent increase from cash from operations of $11,639 million in the corresponding period of 2007. Contributing to the increase were higher commodity prices in our E&P segment, partially offset by lower U.S. refining and marketing margins, as well as higher volumetric inventory builds in our R&M segment.
While the stability of our cash flows from operating activities benefits from geographic diversity and the effects of upstream and downstream integration, our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon prices for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, as well as refining and marketing margins. During the first six months of 2008 and 2007, we benefited from favorable crude oil and natural gas prices. Prices and margins are driven by market conditions over which we have no control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.

Table of Contents

The level of our production volumes of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids also impacts our cash flows. These production levels are impacted by such factors as acquisitions and dispositions of fields, field production decline rates, new technologies, operating efficiency, weather conditions, the addition of proved reserves through exploratory success, and the timely and cost-effective development of those proved reserves. While we actively manage these factors, production levels can cause variability in cash flows, although historically this variability has not been as significant as that experienced with commodity prices.
In addition, the level and quality of output from our refineries impacts our cash flows. The output at our refineries is impacted by such factors as operating efficiency, maintenance turnarounds, feedstock availability and weather conditions. We actively manage the operations of our refineries and, typically, any variability in their operations has not been as significant to cash flows as that experienced with refining margins.
Asset Sales
Proceeds from asset sales during the first half of 2008 were $441 million, compared with $2,215 million in the same period of 2007. Proceeds for both periods primarily reflect our ongoing efforts to dispose of assets that no longer fit into our strategic plans or those that could bring more value by being monetized in the near term.
Commercial Paper and Credit Facilities
At June 30, 2008, we had a $7.5 billion revolving credit facility, which expires in September 2012. This facility may be used as direct bank borrowings, as support for the ConocoPhillips $7.5 billion commercial paper program, as support for the ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. $1.5 billion commercial paper program, or as support for issuances of letters of credit totaling up to $750 million. The facility is broadly syndicated among financial institutions and does not contain any material adverse change provisions or any covenants requiring maintenance of specified financial ratios or ratings. The credit agreement contains a cross-default provision relating to the failure to pay principal or interest on other debt obligations of $200 million or more by ConocoPhillips, or by any of its consolidated subsidiaries. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, but $40 million and $41 million, respectively, in letters of credit had been issued. Under both commercial paper programs, $1,314 million of commercial paper was outstanding at June 30, 2008, compared with $725 million at December 31, 2007.
At June 30, 2008, our primary funding source for short-term working capital needs was the ConocoPhillips $7.5 billion commercial paper program. Commercial paper maturities are generally limited to 90 days. The ConocoPhillips Qatar Funding Ltd. $1.5 billion commercial paper program is used to fund commitments relating to the Qatargas 3 project. Since we had $1,314 million of commercial paper outstanding and had issued $40 million of letters of credit, we had access to $6.1 billion in borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2008.
Shelf Registrations
We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under which we, as a well-known seasoned issuer, have the ability to issue and sell an indeterminate amount of various types of debt and equity securities. Under this shelf, in May 2008, we issued notes consisting of $400 million of 4.40% Notes due 2013, $500 million of 5.20% Notes due 2018 and $600 million of 5.90% Notes due 2038. The proceeds from the offering were used to reduce commercial paper and for general corporate purposes.
We also have on file with the SEC a shelf registration statement under which ConocoPhillips Canada Funding Company I and ConocoPhillips Canada Funding Company II, both wholly owned subsidiaries, could issue an indeterminate amount of senior debt securities, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by ConocoPhillips and ConocoPhillips Company.

Minority Interests
At June 30, 2008, we had outstanding $1,144 million of equity in less than wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries held by minority interest owners, including a minority interest of $505 million in Ashford Energy Capital S.A. The remaining minority interest amounts are primarily related to operating joint ventures we control. The largest of these, $620 million, was related to the Darwin LNG project located in northern Australia.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of our normal ongoing business operations and consistent with normal industry practice, we enter into numerous agreements with other parties to pursue business opportunities, which share costs and apportion risks among the parties as governed by the agreements. At June 30, 2008, we were liable for certain contingent obligations under the following contractual arrangements:
    Qatargas 3 : We own a 30 percent interest in Qatargas 3, an integrated project to produce and liquefy natural gas from Qatar’s North field. Our interest is held through a jointly owned company, Qatar Liquefied Gas Company Limited (3), for which we use the equity method of accounting. Qatargas 3 secured project financing of $4 billion in December 2005, consisting of $1.3 billion of loans from export credit agencies (ECA), $1.5 billion from commercial banks, and $1.2 billion from ConocoPhillips. The ConocoPhillips loan facilities have substantially the same terms as the ECA and commercial bank facilities. Prior to project completion certification, all loans, including the ConocoPhillips loan facilities, are guaranteed by the participants, based on their respective ownership interests. Accordingly, our maximum exposure to this financing structure is $1.2 billion, excluding accrued interest. Upon completion certification, currently expected in 2010, all project loan facilities, including the ConocoPhillips loan facilities, will become nonrecourse to the project participants. At June 30, 2008, Qatargas 3 had $2.6 billion outstanding under all the loan facilities, of which ConocoPhillips provided $787 million, and an additional $60 million of accrued interest.
 
    Rockies Express Pipeline LLC : In June 2006, we issued a guarantee for 24 percent of $2.0 billion in credit facilities issued to Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (Rockies Express). Rockies Express intends to construct a natural gas pipeline across a portion of the United States. The maximum potential amount of future payments to third-party lenders under the guarantee is estimated to be $480 million, which could become payable if the credit facility is fully utilized and Rockies Express fails to meet its obligations under the credit agreement. At June 30, 2008, Rockies Express had $740 million outstanding under the credit facilities, with our 24 percent guarantee equaling $178 million. In addition, we have a 24 percent guarantee on $600 million of Floating Rate Notes due 2009. It is anticipated that construction completion will be achieved in 2009, and refinancing will take place at that time, making the debt nonrecourse.
 
    Keystone Oil Pipeline : We own a 50 percent equity interest in the Keystone Oil Pipeline (Keystone), a joint venture with TransCanada Corporation. Keystone plans to construct a crude oil pipeline originating in Alberta, with delivery points in Illinois and Oklahoma. In connection with certain planning and construction activities, agreements were put in place with third parties to guarantee the payments due under those agreements. Our maximum potential amount of future payments under those agreements are estimated to be $400 million, which could become payable if Keystone fails to meet its obligations under the agreements noted above and the obligation cannot otherwise be mitigated. Payments under the guarantees are contingent upon the partners not making necessary equity contributions into Keystone; therefore, it is considered unlikely that payments would be required. All but $15 million of the guarantees will terminate after construction is completed, currently estimated to be in 2010.
For additional information about guarantees, see Note 11—Guarantees, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Capital Requirements
For information about our capital expenditures and investments, see the “Capital Spending” section.
Our debt balance at June 30, 2008, was $21.9 billion, a slight increase from the balance at December 31, 2007.
In January 2008, we reduced our Floating Rate Five-Year Term Note due 2011 from $3 billion to $2 billion, with a subsequent reduction in June 2008 to $1.5 billion. In March 2008, we redeemed our $300 million 7.125% Debentures due 2028 at a premium of $8 million, plus accrued interest.
On January 3, 2007, we closed on a business venture with EnCana. As part of this transaction, we are obligated to contribute $7.5 billion, plus interest, over a ten-year period, which began in 2007, to the upstream business venture, FCCL, formed as a result of the transaction. Quarterly principal and interest payments of $237 million began in the second quarter of 2007, and will continue until the balance is paid. Of the principal obligation amount, approximately $609 million is short-term and is included in the “Accounts payable—related parties” line on our June 30, 2008, consolidated balance sheet. The principal portion of these payments, which totaled $293 million in the first six months of 2008, is presented on our consolidated statement of cash flows as an other financing activity. Interest accrues at a fixed annual rate of 5.3 percent on the unpaid principal balance. Fifty percent of the quarterly interest payment is reflected as a capital contribution and is included in the “Capital expenditures and investments” line on our consolidated statement of cash flows.
At year-end 2007, approximately $10.1 billion remained authorized for share repurchases in 2008 for our share repurchase programs announced in 2007. During the first six months of 2008, we repurchased 60.4 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $5.0 billion. We anticipate third-quarter 2008 share repurchases to be $2 billion to $3 billion.
In December 2005, we entered into a credit agreement with Qatargas 3, whereby we will provide loan financing of approximately $1.2 billion for the construction of an LNG train in Qatar. This financing will represent 30 percent of the project’s total debt financing. Through June 30, 2008, we had provided $787 million in loan financing, and an additional $60 million of accrued interest. See the “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” section for additional information on Qatargas 3.
In 2004, we finalized our transaction with Freeport to participate in a proposed LNG receiving terminal in Quintana, Texas. We entered into a credit agreement with Freeport to provide loan financing of approximately $678 million, excluding accrued interest, for the construction of the facility. The terminal became operational late in the second quarter of 2008. Through June 30, 2008, we had provided $644 million in loan financing, and an additional $116 million of accrued interest.
In the fall of 2004, ConocoPhillips and LUKOIL agreed to the expansion of the Varandey terminal as part of our investment in the OOO Naryanmarneftegaz (NMNG) joint venture. We have an obligation to provide loan financing to Varandey Terminal Company for 30 percent of the costs of the terminal expansion, but we will have no governance or ownership interest in the terminal. We estimate our total loan obligation for the terminal expansion to be approximately $390 million at current exchange rates, excluding interest to be accrued during construction. This amount will be adjusted as the project’s cost estimate and schedule are updated and the ruble exchange rate fluctuates. Through June 30, 2008, we had provided $359 million in loan financing, and an additional $46 million of accrued interest.
The long-term portion of our loans to Qatargas 3, Freeport and Varandey Terminal Company are included in the “Loans and advances—related parties” line on the balance sheet, while the short-term portion is in “Accounts and notes receivable—related parties.”

Contractual Obligations
Our contractual purchase obligations at June 30, 2008, were estimated to be $166 billion, an increase of $40 billion from the amount reported at December 31, 2007, of $126 billion. The increase primarily results from higher crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices.

E&P
Capital expenditures and investments for E&P during the first six months of 2008 totaled $5.6 billion. The expenditures supported key exploration and development projects including:
    Significant U.S. lease acquisitions in the Chukchi Sea federal waters, offshore Alaska, as well as acquisitions in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
 
    Other Alaska activities related to development drilling in the Greater Kuparuk Area, including West Sak; the Greater Prudhoe Bay Area; the Alpine field, including satellite field prospects; the Cook Inlet Area; as well as exploration activities.
 
    Oil and natural gas developments in the Lower 48 states, including New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Montana, North Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
 
    Investment in the West2East Pipeline LLC (West2East), a company holding a 100 percent interest in Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (Rockies Express).
 
    The development of the Surmont heavy-oil project, investments related to FCCL, and development of conventional oil and gas reserves, all in Canada.
 
    Development drilling and facilities projects in the Greater Ekofisk Area and Alvheim project in the Norwegian North Sea.

During the second quarter of 2008, affiliates of ConocoPhillips and BP Plc formed a limited liability company to progress the pipeline project named Denali—The Alaska Gas Pipeline. The project, which would move approximately four billion cubic feet per day of Alaska natural gas to North American markets, consists of a gas treatment plant on Alaska’s North Slope and a large-diameter pipeline through Alaska to Alberta, Canada. Should it be required to transport gas from Alberta, the project also could include a large-diameter pipeline from Alberta to the Lower 48 states. Summer fieldwork related to the project began in late May, primarily in eastern Alaska, and involves route reconnaissance and environmental studies. In late June 2008, the Federal Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the Denali project to use the FERC’s prefiling process.
In July 2008, we announced the signing of an interim agreement with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) to develop the Shah gas field in Abu Dhabi. Final project agreements are expected to be completed by year-end 2008. ADNOC will have a 60 percent interest and we will have a 40 percent interest in the project.
R&M
Capital spending for R&M during the first six months of 2008 totaled $873 million and included projects to meet environmental standards and improve the operating integrity, safety and energy efficiency of processing units. Capital also was spent on pipeline development and refinery upgrade projects to increase crude oil capacity, expand conversion capability and increase clean product yield.
Major project activities in progress include:
    Expansion of a hydrocracker at the Rodeo facility of our San Francisco refinery.
 
    Investment in the Keystone Oil Pipeline.
 
    U.S. programs aimed at air emission reductions.
Through our joint ventures with TransCanada, we plan to expand the Keystone crude oil pipeline system and provide additional capacity of 500,000 barrels per day from western Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast. Targeted for completion in 2012, this expansion would increase the capacity of the Keystone pipeline system to approximately 1.1 million barrels per day.
In May 2008, we and the Saudi Arabian Oil Company announced the two companies had approved continued funding for the development of the Yanbu Export Refinery project. Each company would be responsible for marketing one-half of the refinery’s production. The refinery is targeted to start up in 2013.

Contingencies
Legal and Tax Matters
We accrue for non-income-tax-related contingencies when a loss is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48), effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 requires a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain. Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Environmental
We are subject to the same numerous international, federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, as are other companies in the petroleum exploration and production, refining and crude oil and refined product marketing and transportation businesses. For a discussion of the most significant of these environmental laws and regulations, including those with associated remediation obligations, see the “Environmental” section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 81 through 84 of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We, from time to time, receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the Environmental Protection Agency and state environmental agencies alleging that we are a potentially responsible party under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) or an equivalent state statute. On occasion, we also have been made a party to cost recovery litigation by those agencies or by private parties. These requests, notices and lawsuits assert potential liability for remediation costs at various sites that typically are not owned by us, but allegedly contain wastes attributable to our past operations. As of December 31, 2007, we reported we had been notified of potential liability under CERCLA and comparable state laws at 68 sites around the United States. At June 30, 2008, we reopened and closed one site, resolved and closed four sites, and received two new notices of potential liability, leaving 66 unresolved sites where we have been notified of potential liability.
At June 30, 2008, our balance sheet included a total environmental accrual of $1,046 million, compared with $1,089 million at December 31, 2007. We expect to incur a substantial majority of these expenditures within the next 30 years.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and as with other companies engaged in similar businesses, environmental costs and liabilities are inherent in our operations and products, and there can be no assurance that material costs and liabilities will not be incurred. However, we currently do not expect any material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (Revised), “Business Combinations” (SFAS No. 141(R)). This Statement will apply to all transactions in which an entity obtains control of one or more other businesses. In general, SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date as the fair value measurement point; and modifies the disclosure requirements. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. However, starting January 1, 2009, accounting for changes in valuation allowances for acquired deferred tax assets and the resolution of uncertain tax positions for prior business combinations will impact tax expense instead of impacting goodwill. We are currently evaluating the changes provided for in this Statement.
Also in December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51,” which changes the classification of noncontrolling interests, sometimes called a minority interest, in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, this Statement establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent company’s ownership interest that do not result in deconsolidation and requires a parent company to recognize a gain or loss when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This Statement is effective January 1, 2009, and will be applied prospectively with the exception of the presentation and disclosure requirements which must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB No. 133.” This Statement expands the annual and interim disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” for derivative instruments within the scope of that Statement. We must adopt SFAS No. 161 no later than January 1, 2009, but it will not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements, other than the additional disclosures.
OUTLOOK
In E&P, we expect our third-quarter 2008 production to be similar to the level in the second quarter of 2008. We expect full-year 2008 production will be consistent with our operating plan.
In R&M, we expect our U.S. crude oil capacity utilization in the third quarter of 2008 to be similar to the second quarter. In international refining, utilization at our Wilhelmshaven refinery will continue to be impacted by hydro-skimming margins.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The following is a description of reportable legal proceedings including those involving governmental authorities under federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment for this reporting period. The following proceedings include those matters that arose during the second quarter of 2008 and any material developments with respect to matters previously reported in ConocoPhillips’ 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K or first-quarter 2008 10-Q. While it is not possible to accurately predict the final outcome of these pending proceedings, if any one or more of such proceedings were decided adversely to ConocoPhillips, we expect there would be no material effect on our consolidated financial position. Nevertheless, such proceedings are reported pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s regulations.
Our U.S. refineries are implementing two separate consent decrees, regarding alleged violations of the Federal Clean Air Act, with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), six states and one local air pollution agency. Some of the requirements and limitations contained in the decrees provide for stipulated penalties for violations. Stipulated penalties under the decrees are not automatic, but must be requested by one of the agency signatories. As part of periodic reports under the decrees and/or other reports required by permits or regulations, we occasionally report matters which could be subject to a request for stipulated penalties. If a specific request for stipulated penalties meeting the reporting threshold set forth in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules is made pursuant to these decrees based on a given reported exceedance, we will separately report that matter and the amount of the proposed penalty.
New Matters
On July 16, 2008, ConocoPhillips received a demand from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) to settle 24 Notices of Violation (NOVs) issued in late 2006 and 2007 for alleged violations of air pollution control regulations at the San Francisco refinery. The amount of the settlement demand is $304,500. We intend to work with BAAQMD to resolve these NOVs.
On June 19, 2008, the Trainer refinery received a demand for stipulated penalties under the Refinery Enforcement Initiative Consent Decree in the amount of $110,000 for alleged violations associated with its leak detection and repair program. We intend to work with U.S. EPA and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) to resolve this matter.
On June 2, 2008, the Billings refinery received a Violation Letter from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) for opacity and nickel emissions, which occurred during startup of the cat cracker in April 2007. The letter also alleged certain monitoring quality assurance/quality control violations. The letter requests a penalty of $604,000. We intend to work with the MDEQ to resolve this matter.
Matters Previously Reported
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) conducted an audit of the Los Angeles refinery to assess compliance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations related to fugitive emissions. As a result of the audit, SCAQMD issued three NOVs alleging multiple counts of noncompliance. We reached an agreement with SCAQMD to settle two of the three NOVs for $42,500 and are working with SCAQMD to resolve the third NOV.
On September 25, 2007, the Sweeny refinery received a draft order to resolve a July 6, 2007, Notice of Enforcement (NOE) relating to alleged violations of the Texas Clean Air Act. The allegations relate to compliance with limitations contained in the refinery’s Title V operating permit and one emission event. In November 2007, we paid $114,450 as a penalty and agreed to fund a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) in the same amount. The settlement was approved by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) on May 22, 2008.

In June 2007, the U.S. EPA informed the Ferndale refinery it will seek penalties for Ferndale’s alleged failure to comply with certain portions of the Benzene Waste Operations rule. The government alleges the facility has not complied with certain equipment maintenance and inspection rules since 1993. The parties have reached an agreement, which resolves the matter. The agreement specifies a penalty of $60,000, an SEP valued at $200,000 and injunctive actions. The agreement has been incorporated into an amendment to an existing consent decree, which was lodged on June 24, 2008.
The U.S. EPA and the PADEP informed the Trainer refinery they intend to seek penalties for acid gas flaring which allegedly occurred between April 2, 2007, and May 19, 2007. The parties have reached an agreement, which resolves the matter. The agreement has been incorporated into an amendment to an existing consent decree, which was lodged on June 24, 2008.
On April 30, 2007, the Borger refinery received an offer to settle a range of violations alleged in a March 16, 2007, NOE issued by the TCEQ. The alleged violations relate to air quality permit limits, emission events, testing requirements, and reporting or recordkeeping requirements. In November 2007, we submitted payment of a penalty of $84,900 and agreed to fund an SEP valued at $84,900. The settlement was approved by the TCEQ on May 13, 2008.
In March 2005, ConocoPhillips Pipe Line Company (CPPL) received a Notice of Probable Violation and Proposed Civil Penalty from the Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (DOT) alleging violation of DOT operation and safety regulations at certain facilities in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wyoming and Nebraska. DOT is proposing penalties in the amount of $184,500. An information hearing was held on September 24, 2007. CPPL has provided additional information in support of its position. A DOT ruling is not anticipated until the fourth quarter of 2008.
In August of 2003, EPA Region 6 issued a Show Cause Order alleging violations of the Federal Clean Water Act at the Borger refinery. The alleged violations relate primarily to discharges of selenium and reported exceedances of permit limits for whole effluent toxicity. On April 7, 2008, a Consent Decree (CD) was lodged in the federal court for the Northern District of Texas, Amarillo Division. The CD requires a penalty of $1.2 million and an SEP valued at $600,000. After public notice and comment, the judge approved the consent decree and the penalty has been paid.

The total number of shares of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 3,000,000,000 (three billion) of which (i) 2,500,000,000 (two billion, five hundred million) shares shall be shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) 500,000,000 (five hundred million) shares shall be shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The number of authorized shares of any of the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL (or any successor provision thereto), and no vote of the holders of any of the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.
          B. PREFERRED STOCK. The Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for series of Preferred Stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series, and the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series. The voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, if any, of each series of Preferred Stock, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding.
          C. COMMON STOCK.
          (1) Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, and subject to any other provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”), holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock of any corporation or property of the Corporation as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in all such dividends and other distributions.

 


 

          (2) (a) At every meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation every holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of Common Stock standing in his or her name on the transfer books of the Corporation in connection with the election of directors and all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.
          (b) The affirmative vote of shares representing not less than 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by the Voting Stock shall be required to alter, amend or adopt any provision inconsistent with or repeal Article FIFTH, Article SEVENTH or Article NINTH or any provision of this paragraph (C)(2)(b), and the affirmative vote of shares representing not less than 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by the Voting Stock, acting on the unanimous recommendation of the entire Board of Directors, shall be required to alter, amend or adopt any provision inconsistent with or repeal Article FIRST. “Voting Stock” shall mean the then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally on the election of directors and shall exclude any class or series of capital stock only entitled to vote in the event of dividend arrearages thereon, whether or not at the time of determination there are any such dividend arrearages.
          (c) Every reference in this Certificate of Incorporation to a majority or other proportion of shares, or a majority or other proportion of the votes of shares, of Voting Stock shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes to which such shares of Voting Stock are entitled.
          (d) At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of capital stock entitled to cast a majority of all the votes which could be cast at such meeting by the holders of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum.
          (3) In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment in full of the amounts required to be paid to the holders of Preferred Stock, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of Common Stock. For purposes of this paragraph (C)(3), the voluntary sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more other corporations or other entities (whether or not the Corporation is the corporation surviving such consolidation or merger) shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary.
          (4) (a) All rights to vote and all voting power (including, without limitation thereto, the right to elect directors) shall be vested exclusively in the holders of Common Stock, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, in a Certificate of Designation with respect to any Preferred Stock or as otherwise expressly required by applicable law.
          (b) No stockholder shall be entitled to exercise any right of cumulative voting.

 


 

          FIFTH: A. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors. The total number of directors constituting the entire Board shall be not less than six nor more than twenty as determined from time to time by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. Effective at the annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held in 2009 and at each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter, all director nominees shall stand for election to terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting, with each director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, removal or departure from the Board of Directors for other cause. The term of each director serving as of and immediately following the date of the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders shall expire at the next annual meeting of stockholders after such date, notwithstanding that such director may have been elected for a term that extended beyond the date of such annual meeting of stockholders. Unless otherwise required by law, any vacancy on the Board of Directors or newly created directorship may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, removal or departure from the Board of Directors for other cause.
               Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of outstanding shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock are entitled to elect a director or directors of the Corporation separately as a series or together with one or more other series pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors providing for the establishment of such series, such director or directors shall not be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article FIFTH, and the election, term of office, removal and filling of vacancies in respect of such director or directors shall be governed by the resolution of the Board of Directors so providing for the establishment of such series and by applicable law.
          B. Subject to applicable law, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed with or without cause, such removal to be by the affirmative vote of the shares representing at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the Voting Stock.
               Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever holders of outstanding shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock are entitled to elect directors of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions applicable in the case of arrearages in the payment of dividends or other defaults contained in the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for the establishment of any such series, any such director of the Corporation so elected may be removed in accordance with the provisions of such resolution or resolutions.
          C. There shall be no limitation on the qualification of any person to be a director or on the ability of any director to vote on any matter brought before the Board or any Board committee, except (i) as required by applicable law, (ii) as set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation or (iii) any By-Law adopted by the Board of Directors with respect to the eligibility for election as a director or the qualification for continuing service as a director upon reaching a specified age or, in the case of employee directors, with respect to the qualification for continuing service of directors upon ceasing employment from the Corporation.
          D. Except as (i) required by applicable law or (ii) set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation, at all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the entire Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors.

 


 

          E. The following provisions are inserted for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:
          (1) The By-Laws of the Corporation may be adopted, altered, amended or repealed (i) by the affirmative vote of the shares representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the Voting Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any proposed alteration, amendment or repeal of, or the adoption of any By-Law inconsistent with, Section 3, 7, 10 or 11 of Article II of the By-Laws or Section 1, 2 or 11 of Article III of the By-Laws or Section 4, 5 or 12 of Article IV of the By-Laws (in each case, as in effect on the date hereof), or the alteration, amendment or the repeal of, or the adoption of any provision inconsistent with this sentence, by the stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of shares representing not less than 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by the Voting Stock; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that in the case of any such stockholder action at a special meeting of stockholders, notice of the proposed alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of the new By-Law or By-Laws must be contained in the notice of such special meeting, or (ii) by action of the Board of Directors of the Corporation except as otherwise specified in Section 12 of Article IV of the By-Laws.
          (2) In addition to the powers and authority hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, this Certificate of Incorporation, and any By-Laws adopted by the stockholders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no By-Laws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such By-Laws had not been adopted.
          SIXTH: Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the By-Laws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the DGCL) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the By-Laws of the Corporation.
          SEVENTH: Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation may be effected only at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by a consent in writing by such holders in lieu of such a meeting. Except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called only by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution stating the purpose or purposes thereof or by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and any power of stockholders to call a special meeting is specifically denied. No business other than that stated in the notice of such meeting shall be transacted at any special meeting.
          EIGHTH: A. Subject to Section 253 of the DGCL, in addition to any affirmative vote that may be required by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation, and except as otherwise expressly provided in paragraph (B) of this Article EIGHTH:
          (i) any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation with or into (A) any Related Person or (B) any Person that is an Affiliate of a Related Person; or

 


 

          (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition by the Corporation to any Related Person or any Affiliate of any Related Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or
          (iii) any reclassification of securities (including any reverse stock split) or recapitalization of the Corporation for which the approval of shareholders of the Corporation is otherwise required, or any merger, consolidation or share exchange of the Corporation with any of its subsidiaries for which the approval of shareholders of the Corporation is otherwise required, which has the effect, either directly or indirectly, of increasing by more than 1% the proportionate share of the Common Stock or Voting Stock Beneficially Owned by any Related Person or any Affiliate of any Related Person; or
          (iv) any dissolution of the Corporation voluntarily caused or proposed by or on behalf of a Related Person or any Affiliate of any Related Person, shall require the affirmative vote of shares representing (x) not less than 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by the Voting Stock and (y) not less than 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the Voting Stock not Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly, by any Related Person, with respect to such Business Combination. Such affirmative vote shall be required, notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be required, or that a lesser percentage may be specified, by law, elsewhere in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the By-Laws of the Corporation or in any agreement with any national securities exchange or otherwise.
          B. The provisions of paragraph (A) shall not be applicable to any particular Business Combination, and such Business Combination shall require only such affirmative vote as is required by law, the By-Laws of the Corporation and any other provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, if all of the conditions specified in either of the following paragraphs (B)(i) and (B)(ii) are met:
          (i) the cash, property, securities or other consideration to be received per share by each holder of any outstanding class or series of Voting Stock in the Business Combination is, with respect to each such class or series, either (A) the same in form and amount per share as the highest consideration paid by the Related Person in a tender or exchange offer in which such Related Person acquired at least 50% of the outstanding stock of such class or series of Voting Stock and which was consummated not more than one year prior to the date of such Business Combination, or if earlier, the entering into of a definitive agreement providing therefor or (B) not less in amount (as to cash) or Fair Market Value (as to consideration other than cash) as of the date of the determination of the Highest Per Share Price (as to property, securities or other consideration) than the Highest Per Share Price applicable to such class or series of shares of Voting Stock; PROVIDED THAT, in the event of any Business Combination in which the Corporation survives, any shares retained by the holders thereof shall constitute consideration other than cash for purposes of this paragraph (B)(i); or
          (ii) a majority of the Continuing Directors shall have expressly approved such Business Combination either in advance of or subsequent to such Related Person’s having become a Related Person.
     In the case of any Business Combination with a Related Person to which paragraph (B)(ii) above does not apply, a majority of the Continuing Directors, promptly following the request of a Related Person, shall determine the Highest Per Share Price for each class or series of stock of the Corporation. Such determination shall be announced not less than five days prior to the meeting at which holders of shares vote on the Business Combination. Such determination shall be final,

 


 

unless the Related Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of additional shares of Common Stock after the date of the earlier determination, in which case the Continuing Directors shall make a new determination as to the Highest Per Share Price for each class or series of shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.
     A Related Person shall be deemed to have acquired a share at the time that such Related Person became the Beneficial Owner thereof. With respect to shares owned by Affiliates, Associates and other Persons whose ownership is attributable to a Related Person, if the price paid by such Related Person for such shares is not determinable by a majority of the Continuing Directors, the price so paid shall be deemed to be the higher of (i) the price paid upon the acquisition thereof by the Affiliate, Associate or other Person or (ii) the Share Price of the shares in question at the time when the Related Person became the Beneficial Owner thereof.
          C. For purposes of this Article EIGHTH and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation:
          (i) The term “Affiliate,” used to indicate a relationship to a specified Person, shall mean a Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such specified Person.
          (ii) The term “Associate,” used to indicate a relationship with a specified Person, shall mean (A) any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, joint venture or other organization (other than the Corporation or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation) of which such specified Person is an officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner of 10% or more of any class of equity securities; (B) any trust or other estate in which such specified Person has a beneficial interest of 10% or more or as to which such specified Person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; (C) any Person who is a director or officer of such specified Person or any of its parents or subsidiaries (other than the Corporation or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation); and (D) any relative or spouse of such specified Person or of any of its Associates, or any relative of any such spouse, who has the same home as such specified Person or such Associate.
          (iii) A Person shall be a “Beneficial Owner” of any stock (A) which such Person or any of its Affiliates or Associates beneficially owns, directly or indirectly; or (B) which such Person or any of its Affiliates or Associates has, directly or indirectly, (1) the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, or (2) the right to vote pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding; or (C) which is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other Person, with which such Person or any of its Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of such stock; or (D) of which such Person would be the Beneficial Owner pursuant to the terms of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, as in effect on September 30, 1998. Stock shall be deemed “Beneficially Owned” by the Beneficial Owner or Owners thereof.
          (iv) The term “Business Combination” shall mean any transaction which is referred to in any one or more of clauses (i) through (iv) of paragraph (A) of this Article EIGHTH.
          (v) The term “Continuing Director” shall mean, with respect to a Business Combination with a Related Person, any director of the Corporation who is unaffiliated with the Related Person and was a director prior to the time that the Related Person became a Related

 


 

Person, and any successor of a Continuing Director who is unaffiliated with the Related Person and is recommended or nominated to succeed a Continuing Director by a majority of the Continuing Directors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a director shall be deemed to be affiliated with a Related Person if such director (A) is an officer, director, employee or general partner of such Related Person; (B) is an Affiliate or Associate of such Related Person; (C) is a relative or spouse of such Related Person or of any such officer, director, general partner, Affiliate or Associate; (D) performs services, or is a member, employee, greater than 5% stockholder or other equity owner of any organization (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries) which performs services for such Related Person or any Affiliate of such Related Person, or is a relative or spouse of any such Person; or (E) was nominated for election as a director by such Related Person.
          (vi) The term “Fair Market Value” shall mean, in the case of securities, the average of the closing sales prices during the 30-day period immediately preceding the date in question of such security on the principal United States securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act on which such security is listed (or the composite tape therefor) or, if such securities are not listed on any such exchange, the average of the last reported sales price (if so reported) or the closing bid quotations with respect to such security during the 30-day period preceding the date in question on the New York Stock Exchange or, if no such quotations are available, the fair market value on the date in question of such security as determined in good faith by a majority of the Continuing Directors; and in the case of property other than cash or securities, the fair market value of such property on the date in question as determined in good faith by a majority of the Continuing Directors.
          (vii) The term “Highest Per Share Price” shall mean, with respect to a Related Person, the highest price that can be determined to have been paid or agreed to be paid for any share or shares of any class or series of Voting Stock by such Related Person in a transaction that either (1) resulted in such Related Person’s Beneficially Owning 15% or more of such class or series of Voting Stock outstanding or (2) was effected at a time when such Related Person Beneficially Owned 15% or more of such class or series of Voting Stock outstanding, in either case occurring not more than one year prior to the date of the Business Combination. In determining the Highest Per Share Price, appropriate adjustment will be made to take into account (w) distributions paid or payable in stock, (x) subdivisions of outstanding stock, (y) combinations of shares of stock into a smaller number of shares and (z) similar events.
          (viii) The term “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, association, partnership, joint venture, trust, estate or other entity or organization.
          (ix) The term “Related Person” shall mean any Person (other than the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation and other than any profit sharing, employee ownership or other employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the corporation or any trustee of or fiduciary with respect to any such plan when acting in such capacity) who or which (A) is the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of any class or series of Voting Stock outstanding; or (B) is an Affiliate of the Corporation and at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question was the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of any class or series of Voting Stock outstanding. For the purposes of determining whether a Person is a Related Person, the number of shares of any class or series deemed to be outstanding shall include shares of such class or series of which the Person is deemed the Beneficial Owner, but shall not include any other shares which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, otherwise.

 


 

          D. Nothing contained in this Article EIGHTH shall be construed to relieve any Related Person from any fiduciary obligation imposed by law.
          E. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation (and notwithstanding that a lesser percentage may be specified by law), the affirmative vote of shares representing (x) not less than 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by the Voting Stock voting together as a single class and (y) not less than 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the Voting Stock not Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly, by any Related Person shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provisions inconsistent with, this Article EIGHTH.
          NINTH: To the fullest extent that the DGCL or any other law of the State of Delaware as it exists or as it may hereafter be amended permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, no director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. No amendment to or repeal of this Article NINTH shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

               (b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

ARTICLE VI
Notices
          Section 1. Notices . Whenever notice is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, to be given to any director, member of a committee or stockholder, such notice may be given by mail, addressed to such director, member of a committee or stockholder, at such person’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United States mail. Except as otherwise required by law, notice may also be given personally, or by courier, telephone, electronic mail, facsimile transmission, cable, internet or other electronic transmission. Notice by courier shall be deemed to be given when deposited with or delivered to a courier properly addressed. Telephone notice shall be deemed to be given when such person or his or her agent is personally given such notice in a telephone call to which such person or his or her agent is a party. Electronic mail notice shall be deemed to be given when directed to an electronic mail address at which such person has consented to receive notice. Facsimile transmission notice shall be deemed to be given when directed to a number at which such person has consented to receive notice.
          Section 2. Waivers of Notice . Whenever any notice is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, to be given to any director, member of a committee or stockholder, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. Attendance of a person at a meeting (including, in the case of a stockholder, by proxy) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where the person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
ARTICLE VII

Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time, in its absolute discretion, deems proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for any proper purpose, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve.
          Section 2. Disbursements . All checks or demands for money and notes of the Corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.

ARTICLE VIII
Indemnification
          Section 1. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation . Subject to Section 3 of this Article VIII, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (any director or officer of the Corporation or director, officer or employee of the Corporation so serving at the request of the Corporation being referred to hereinafter as an “Indemnified Person”), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnified Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.
          Section 2. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation . Subject to Section 3 of this Article VIII, the Corporation shall indemnify any Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
          Section 3. Authorization of Indemnification . Any indemnification under this Article VIII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or

 


 

Section 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is not a director or officer of the Corporation at the time of such determination, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.
          Section 4. Good Faith Defined . For purposes of any determination under Section 3 of this Article VIII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on good faith reliance on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 4 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be.
          Section 5. Indemnification by a Court . Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article VIII, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VIII. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article VIII nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that Indemnified Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.
          Section 6. Expenses Payable in Advance . Expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII.

 


 

          Section 7. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VIII shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 1 or 2 of this Article VIII but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or otherwise.
          Section 8. Insurance . The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Indemnified Person against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise , or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VIII.
          Section 9. Certain Definitions . For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VIII.
          Section 10. Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
          Section 11. Limitation on Indemnification . Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VIII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5 of this Article VIII), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
          Section 12. Indemnification of Employees and Agents . The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the

 


 

advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article VIII to directors and officers of the Corporation.

1.   Section 1 of the Program is amended to add the following paragraph between the third and fourth paragraphs of that section, to read as follows:
 
    With regard to members of the Board or other persons who previously served as members of the Board of Directors of Burlington Resources Inc. (“BRI”), their continued participation in and coverage under the Burlington Resources Inc. 1991 Director Charitable Award Plan would make participation in and coverage under the Program redundant, and so such individuals are excluded from participation in and coverage under the Program.
 
2.   Section 2 of the Program is amended to add the following proviso at the end of the first sentence of that section, to read as follows:
 
    ; provided, however, that a member of the Board of Directors who is a participant under the Burlington Resources Inc. 1991 Director Charitable Award Plan shall not be eligible to participate in the Program.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE
CONOCOPHILLIPS
DIRECTORS’ CHARITABLE GIFT PROGRAM
     The ConocoPhillips Directors’ Charitable Gift Program (the “Program”) is hereby amended, effective as of April 1, 2008, as follows:
Section 5 of the Program is amended to add the following paragraph at the end of that section, to read as follows:
In the alternative, rather than making the donation by payment of annual installments, the Company may choose to provide an Organization with an actuarial equivalent lump sum donation at any time after one year from the retirement of the Director from the Board. The Administrator shall make the determination whether to use this alternative, unless directed by the Board either to use the alternative or not to use the alternative, in which case the Administrator will follow the directions of the Board. In making the determination whether to use this alternative, the Administrator may take into account any recommendation from the Director or former Director, who may make such recommendation at any time after one year from the date of retirement from the Board. In calculating the lump sum donation, the Administrator may use any reasonable actuarial assumptions, including those used in determining benefits and payments under the ConocoPhillips Retirement Plan, which are deemed to be reasonable for these purposes. The Administrator may notify an Organization of the possibility of a lump sum payment under this alternative. The Administrator may require an Organization to acknowledge that any payment made under this alternative is in full payment of any amount arising under this Program and to waive any rights the Organization may have, or may claim to have, under this Program.
