Lim, Vice President and Treasurer, of EOG Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certify, pursuant to Sections 102 and 301 of the Indenture, dated as of May 18, 2009 (the “ Indenture ”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, NA, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”), that the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Vice President and Treasurer of the Company approved, pursuant to the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company dated April 30, 2009 and May 15, 2009, the terms of a series of Securities to be issued under the Indenture, and the form thereof, and such terms are as follows:

		(not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 37.5 basis points
		plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the Redemption Date.
		“ Treasury Rate ” means, with respect to any Redemption Date: (1) the rate per annum equal to the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the comparable treasury issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining life (as defined below), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the comparable treasury issue will be determined and the treasury rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable treasury issue, calculated using a price for the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for such Redemption Date.
		The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the date fixed for

		redemption.
		“ Comparable Treasury Issue ” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an independent investment banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“remaining life”) of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
		“ Comparable Treasury Price ” means (1) the average of five reference treasury dealer quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest reference treasury dealer quotations, or (2) if the independent investment banker obtains fewer than four such reference treasury dealer quotations, the average of all such quotations.
		“ Independent Investment Banker ” means any of Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. or J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (or their respective successors ) as specified by the Company, or, if these firms are unwilling or unable to select the comparable treasury issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.
		“ Reference Treasury Dealer ” means (1) Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. or J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and their respective successors, provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “primary treasury dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer and (2) any three other primary treasury dealers selected by the Company after consultation with the independent investment banker.
		“ Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations ”

	1.		I have read Sections 102, 301 and 303 of the Indenture and the definitions in the Indenture relating thereto.
