Note 1—Separation and Basis of Presentation

The Separation

On April 4, 2012, the ConocoPhillips Board of Directors approved the separation of its downstream businesses into an independent, publicly traded company named Phillips 66. In accordance with a separation and distribution agreement, the two companies were separated by ConocoPhillips distributing to its stockholders all 625,272,302 shares of common stock of Phillips 66 after the market closed on April 30, 2012. Each ConocoPhillips shareholder received one share of Phillips 66 stock for every two shares of ConocoPhillips stock held at the close of business on the record date of April 16, 2012. Fractional shares of Phillips 66 common stock were not distributed and any fractional shares of Phillips 66 common stock otherwise issuable to a ConocoPhillips shareholder were sold in the open market on such shareholder’s behalf, and such shareholder received a cash payment with respect to that fractional share. In conjunction with the separation, ConocoPhillips received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, based on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings set forth in the ruling, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the distribution of Phillips 66 stock was not taxable to ConocoPhillips or U.S. holders of ConocoPhillips common stock, except in respect to cash received in lieu of fractional share interests. Following the separation, ConocoPhillips retained no ownership interest in Phillips 66, and each company now has separate public ownership, boards of directors and management. A registration statement on Form 10, as amended through the time of its effectiveness, describing the separation was filed by Phillips 66 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and was declared effective on April 12, 2012 (the Form 10).

On May 1, 2012, Phillips 66 stock began trading the “regular-way” on the New York Stock Exchange under the “PSX” stock symbol. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement with ConocoPhillips, on April 30, 2012, we made a special cash distribution to ConocoPhillips of $5.95 billion. After subsequent working capital and inventory determinations, an additional cash distribution of $1.87 billion was made to ConocoPhillips in June 2012. After consideration of the cash retained by Phillips 66 at separation, as well as cash flow impacts of the four months ended April 30, 2012, the net distribution to ConocoPhillips was $5.3 billion.

Basis of Presentation

Prior to the separation on April 30, 2012, our results of operations, financial position and cash flows consisted of ConocoPhillips’ refining, marketing and transportation operations; its natural gas gathering, processing, transmission and marketing operations, primarily conducted through its equity investment in DCP Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream); its petrochemical operations, conducted through its equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem); its power generation operations; and an allocable portion of its corporate costs (together, the “downstream businesses”). These financial statements have been presented as if the downstream businesses had been combined for all periods presented. All intercompany transactions and accounts within the downstream businesses were eliminated. The assets and liabilities have been reflected on a historical cost basis, as all of the assets and liabilities presented were wholly owned by ConocoPhillips and were transferred within the ConocoPhillips consolidated group. The statement of income for periods prior to the separation includes expense allocations for certain corporate functions historically performed by ConocoPhillips and not allocated to its operating segments, including allocations of general corporate expenses related to executive oversight, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, procurement and information technology. These allocations were based primarily on specific identification of time and/or activities associated with the downstream businesses, employee headcount or capital expenditures. The combined financial statements may not necessarily reflect all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had we been a stand-alone company during the periods presented prior to the separation.

The interim-period financial information presented in the financial statements included in this report is unaudited and includes all known accruals and adjustments necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of Phillips 66 and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Unless otherwise specified, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this report. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in our Form 10. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 3—Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

We hold significant variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. Information on these VIEs follows:

Merey Sweeny, L.P. (MSLP) is a limited partnership that owns a delayed coker and related facilities at the Sweeny Refinery. As discussed more fully in Note 6—Investments and Long-Term Receivables, in August 2009 we exercised our call right to acquire the 50 percent ownership interest in MSLP of our co-venturer, Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA). That exercise has been challenged, and the dispute is being arbitrated. Because our exercise has been challenged by PDVSA, we continue to use the equity method of accounting for MSLP, and the VIE analysis below is based on the ownership and governance structure in place prior to the exercise of our call right. MSLP is now a VIE because, in securing lender consents in connection with the separation, we provided a 100 percent debt guarantee to the lender of the 8.85% senior notes issued by MSLP. PDVSA did not participate in the debt guarantee. In our VIE assessment, this disproportionate debt guarantee,

Table of Contents

plus other liquidity support provided jointly by us and PDVSA independently of equity ownership, results in MSLP not being exposed to all potential losses. We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary while our call exercise is in dispute because under the partnership agreement the co-venturers could jointly direct the activities of MSLP that most significantly impact economic performance. At June 30, 2012, our maximum exposure represented the outstanding principal balance on the debt of $242 million. Our book value in MSLP at June 30, 2012, was $88 million.

We have a 50 percent ownership interest with a 50 percent governance interest in Excel Paralubes, L.P. (Excel). Excel is now a VIE because, in securing lender consents in connection with the separation, ConocoPhillips provided a 50 percent debt guarantee to the lender of the 7.43% senior secured bonds issued by Excel. We provided a full indemnity to ConocoPhillips for this debt guarantee. Our co-venturer did not participate in the debt guarantee. In our assessment of the VIE, this debt guarantee, plus other liquidity support up to $60 million provided jointly by us and our co-venturer independently of equity ownership, results in Excel not being exposed to all potential losses. We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary because we and our co-venturer jointly direct the activities of Excel that most significantly impact economic performance. We continue to use equity method accounting for this investment. At June 30, 2012, our maximum exposure represented 50 percent of the outstanding principal debt balance of $187 million, or $94 million, plus half of the $60 million liquidity support, or $30 million. Our book value in Excel at June 30, 2012, was $139 million.

Note 4—Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:

Materials and supplies

     288         273   

 

 
   $ 5,496         3,466   

 

 

Inventories valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis totaled $5,061 million and $3,046 million at June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. The estimated excess of current replacement cost over LIFO cost of inventories amounted to approximately $6,900 million and $8,600 million at June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2012, certain inventory reductions caused a liquidation of LIFO inventory values. This liquidation increased net income $67 million, all of which was attributable to the Refining and Marketing (R&M) segment.

Note 5—Assets Held for Sale or Sold

On June 22, 2012, we sold our refinery located on the Delaware River in Trainer, Pennsylvania, for $229 million. The refinery and associated terminal and pipeline assets were included in our R&M segment and at the time of the disposition had a net carrying value of $38 million, which included $37 million of properties, plants and equipment (PP&E), $25 million of allocated goodwill and a $53 million asset retirement obligation. The $189 million before-tax gain on this disposition was included in the “Net gain on dispositions” line in the consolidated income statement.

In the first quarter of 2012, equipment formerly associated with the cancelled Wilhelmshaven Refinery upgrade project was classified as held for sale. At June 30, 2012, the equipment had a net carrying value of $30 million, primarily PP&E. See Note 8—Impairments for additional information.

MSLP is a limited partnership that owns a delayed coker and related facilities at the Sweeny Refinery. Prior to August 28, 2009, MSLP was owned 50/50 by ConocoPhillips and PDVSA. Under the agreements that govern the relationships between the partners, certain defaults by PDVSA with respect to supply of crude oil to the Sweeny Refinery gave ConocoPhillips the right to acquire PDVSA’s 50 percent ownership interest in MSLP, which was exercised on August 28, 2009. PDVSA has initiated arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce challenging the exercise of the call right and claiming it was invalid. The arbitral tribunal is scheduled to hold hearings on the merits of the dispute in December 2012. We continue to use the equity method of accounting for our investment in MSLP.

During the second quarter of 2012, we recorded a $275 million impairment of our investment in Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (REX). See the “Fair Value Remeasurements” section below for additional information on this impairment.

The six-month period of 2012 also included a held-for-sale impairment of $42 million in our R&M segment related to equipment formerly associated with the canceled Wilhelmshaven Refinery upgrade project.

Fair Value Remeasurements

There were no material fair value impairments for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, net PP&E held for sale with a carrying amount of $74 million was written down to its fair value of $32 million, resulting in a before-tax loss of $42 million. The fair value was primarily determined by negotiated selling prices with third parties.

During this same period, our investment in REX was written down to a fair value of $495 million, resulting in a before-tax loss of $275 million. During the second quarter of 2012, our co-venturer recognized a fair value adjustment of a disposal group that included REX, based on information gathered from its marketing process. After identifying this impairment indicator, we performed our own assessment of the carrying amount of our investment, considering expected future cash flows and the discount rate. Based on this updated information, our internal assessment concluded our investment in REX was impaired, and the decline in fair value was other than temporary.

During March 2012, we issued, through a private placement, $5.8 billion of Senior Notes. The notes are guaranteed by Phillips 66 Company, a wholly owned subsidiary. In connection with the private placement, we and Phillips 66 Company granted the holders of the notes certain registration rights under a Registration Rights Agreement. We have agreed for the benefit of the holders of the notes to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause to be effective a registration statement with the SEC on an appropriate form with respect to a registered offer to exchange each series of notes for new notes that are guaranteed by Phillips 66 Company with terms substantially identical in all material respects to such series of notes. Generally, we have one year from the issuance of the Senior Notes to complete the exchange offer.

In the second quarter of 2012, we retired approximately $185 million of previously existing debt and closed the financing of $2.0 billion of new debt as a three-year amortizing term loan. The term loan incurs interest at a variable rate based on referenced rates plus a margin dependent upon the credit rating of our senior unsecured long-term debt as determined from time to time by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) and Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s).

Credit Facilities

In February 2012, we entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions. Under the terms of the revolving credit agreement, we have a borrowing capacity of up to $4.0 billion. No amount has been drawn under this facility. However, as of June 30, 2012, $50 million in letters of credit had been issued that were supported by this facility.

The revolving credit agreement contains covenants that we consider usual and customary for an agreement of this type for comparable commercial borrowers, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60 percent. The agreement has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; cross-payment default and cross-acceleration (in each case, to indebtedness in excess of a threshold amount); and a change of control.

Borrowings under the credit agreement will incur interest at LIBOR plus a margin based on the credit rating of our senior unsecured long-term debt as determined from time to time by S&P and Moody’s. The revolving credit agreement also provides for customary fees, including administrative agent fees and commitment fees.

Trade Receivables Securitization Facility

In the second quarter of 2012, we established a wholly owned subsidiary to hold trade receivables that will be used as collateral for the subsidiary’s new borrowing facility with an aggregate capacity of $1.2 billion, which has a term of three years. As of June 30, 2012, no cash had been borrowed under the facility, but we had obtained $279 million in letters of credit under the facility that were collateralized by $279 million of the trade receivables held by the subsidiary.

Note 10—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is based on net income attributable to Phillips 66 (earnings) and is calculated based upon the daily weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Also, this calculation includes fully vested stock and unit awards that have not yet been issued as common stock. Diluted EPS includes the above, plus unvested stock, unit or option awards granted under our compensation plans and vested unexercised stock options, but only to the extent these instruments dilute earnings per share.

On April 30, 2012, 625,272,302 shares of our common stock were distributed to ConocoPhillips stockholders in conjunction with the separation. For comparative purposes, and to provide a more meaningful calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding, we have assumed this amount to be outstanding as of the beginning of each period prior to the separation presented in the calculation of weighted-average shares. In addition, we have assumed the dilutive securities outstanding at April 30, 2012, were also outstanding for each of the periods prior to the separation presented.

Note 11—Guarantees

At June 30, 2012, 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. In addition, unless otherwise stated, we are not currently performing with any significance under the guarantee and expect future performance to be either immaterial or have only a remote chance of occurrence.

Guarantees of Joint Venture Debt

In April 2012, in connection with the separation, we issued a guarantee for 100 percent of the 8.85% senior notes issued by MSLP in July 1999. At June 30, 2012, the maximum potential amount of future payments to third parties under the guarantee is estimated to be $242 million, which could become payable if MSLP fails to meet its obligations under the senior note agreement.

At June 30, 2012, we had other guarantees outstanding for our portion of certain joint venture debt obligations, which have remaining terms of up to 14 years. The maximum potential amount of future payments under these other guarantees is approximately $116 million. Payment would be required if a joint venture defaults on its debt obligations.

Other Guarantees

We have other guarantees with maximum future potential payment amounts totaling $268 million, which consist primarily of guarantees to fund the short-term cash liquidity deficits of certain joint ventures and guarantees of the lease payment obligations of a joint venture. These guarantees generally have remaining terms of up to 13 years or life of the venture.

Indemnifications

Over the years, we have entered into various agreements to sell ownership interests in certain corporations, joint ventures and assets 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, relative to which the term is generally indefinite and the maximum amount of future payments is generally unlimited. The carrying amount recorded for indemnifications at June 30, 2012, was $362 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 recorded carrying amount were $147 million of environmental accruals for known contamination that are included in asset retirement obligations and accrued environmental costs at June 30, 2012. For additional information about environmental liabilities, see Note 12—Contingencies and Commitments.

Indemnification and Release Agreement

In conjunction with, and effective as of, the separation, we entered into an Indemnification and Release Agreement with ConocoPhillips. This agreement governs the treatment between ConocoPhillips and us of all aspects relating to indemnification, insurance, litigation responsibility and management, and litigation document sharing and cooperation arising in connection with the separation. Generally, the agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of ConocoPhillips’ business with ConocoPhillips. The agreement also establishes procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters.

Note 12—Contingencies and Commitments

A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims have been made against Phillips 66 that arose in the ordinary course of business. We also may be required 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 active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), 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 record receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we use 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 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 international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. When we prepare our consolidated financial statements, we record accruals for environmental liabilities based on management’s best estimates, using all information 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 they are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Table of Contents

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 cleanup costs related to any site at which we have been designated as a potentially responsible party. 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 and time limits.

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 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 future costs will be incurred and these costs can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2012, our consolidated balance sheet included a total environmental accrual of $538 million, compared with $542 million at December 31, 2011. We expect to incur a substantial amount 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 that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. 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 regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, are required.

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.

At June 30, 2012, we had performance obligations secured by letters of credit of $1,961 million (of which $279 million were issued under the trade receivables securitization facility, $50 million were issued under the provisions of our revolving credit facility, and the remainder were issued as direct bank letters of credit) related to various purchase commitments incident to the ordinary conduct of business.

Note 13—Financial Instruments and Derivative Contracts

Derivative Instruments

We use financial and commodity-based derivative contracts to manage exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices or to capture market opportunities. Since we are not currently using cash-flow hedge accounting, all gains and losses, realized or unrealized, from derivative contracts have been recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Gains and losses from derivative contracts held for trading not directly related to our physical business, whether realized or unrealized, have been reported net in “Other income” on our consolidated statement of income. Cash flows from all our derivative activity for the periods presented appear in the operating section of the cash flow statement.

Purchase and sales contracts with fixed minimum notional volumes for commodities that are readily convertible to cash (e.g., crude oil and gasoline) are recorded on the balance sheet as derivatives unless the contracts are eligible for, and we elect, the normal purchases and normal sales exception (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell quantities we expect to use or sell over a reasonable period in the normal course of business). We generally apply this normal purchases and normal sales exception to eligible crude oil, refined product, natural gas and power commodity purchase and sales contracts; however, we may elect not to apply this exception (e.g., when another derivative instrument will be used to mitigate the risk of the purchase or sales contract but hedge accounting will not be applied, in which case both the purchase or sales contract and the derivative contract mitigating the resulting risk will be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value).

We value our exchange-traded derivatives using closing prices provided by the exchange as of the balance sheet date, and these are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Where exchange-provided prices are adjusted, non-exchange quotes are used or when the instrument lacks sufficient liquidity, we generally classify those exchange-cleared contracts as Level 2. Over-the-counter (OTC) financial swaps and physical commodity forward purchase and sales contracts are generally valued using quotations provided by brokers and price index developers such as Platts and Oil Price Information Service. These quotes are corroborated with market data and 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 sales 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. A contract that is initially classified as Level 3 due to absence or insufficient corroboration of broker quotes over a material portion of the contract will transfer to Level 2 when the portion of the trade having no quotes or insufficient corroboration becomes an insignificant portion of the contract. A contract would also transfer to Level 2 if we began using a corroborated broker quote that has become available. Conversely, if a corroborated broker quote ceases to be available or used by us, the contract would transfer from Level 2 to Level 3. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1 during the periods presented.

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 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 options are classified as Level 2 or 3.

We use a mid-market pricing convention (the mid-point between bid and ask prices). When appropriate, valuations are adjusted to reflect credit considerations, generally based on available market evidence.

The derivative values above are based on analysis of each contract as the fundamental unit of account; therefore, derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are not reflected net where the legal right of setoff exists. 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.

As reflected in the table above, Level 3 activity is not material.

Commodity Derivative Contracts —We operate in the worldwide crude oil, refined products, natural gas liquids, natural gas and electric power markets and are exposed to fluctuations in the prices for these commodities. These fluctuations can affect our revenues, as well as the cost of operating, investing and financing activities. Generally, our policy is to remain exposed to the market prices of commodities; however, we use futures, forwards, swaps and options in various markets to balance physical systems, meet customer needs, manage price exposures on specific transactions, and do a limited, immaterial amount of trading not directly related to our physical business. We also use the market knowledge gained from these activities to capture market opportunities such as moving physical commodities to more profitable locations, storing commodities to capture seasonal or time premiums, and blending commodities to capture quality upgrades. Derivatives may be used to optimize these activities, which may move our risk profile away from market average prices.

The following table indicates the balance sheet line items that include the fair values of commodity derivative assets and liabilities presented net (i.e., commodity derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are netted where the right of setoff exists); however, the balances in the following table are presented gross:

Credit Risk

Financial instruments potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of OTC derivative contracts and trade receivables.

The credit risk from our OTC derivative contracts, such as forwards and swaps, derives from the counterparty to the transaction. Individual counterparty exposure is managed within predetermined credit limits and includes the use of cash-call margins when appropriate, thereby reducing the risk of significant nonperformance. We also use futures, swaps and option contracts that have a negligible credit risk because these trades are cleared with an exchange clearinghouse and subject to mandatory margin requirements until settled; however, we are exposed to the credit risk of those exchange brokers for receivables arising from daily margin cash calls, as well as for cash deposited to meet initial margin requirements.

Our trade receivables result primarily from the sale of products from, or related to, our refinery operations and reflect a broad national and international customer base, which limits our exposure to concentrations of credit risk. The majority of these receivables have payment terms of 30 days or less. We continually monitor this exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparties and recognize bad debt expense based on historical write-off experience or specific counterparty collectability. Generally, we do not require collateral to limit the exposure to loss; however, we will sometimes use letters of credit, prepayments, and master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk with counterparties that both buy from and sell to us, as these agreements permit the amounts owed by us or owed to others to be offset against amounts due us.

Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to post collateral if the derivative exposure exceeds a threshold amount. We have contracts with fixed threshold amounts and other contracts with variable threshold amounts that are contingent on our credit rating. The variable threshold amounts typically decline for lower credit ratings, while both the variable and fixed threshold amounts typically revert to zero if our credit ratings fall below investment grade. Cash is the primary collateral in all contracts; however, many contracts also permit us to post letters of credit as collateral.

The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was not material at June 30, 2012.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

 

   

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value.

 

   

Accounts and notes receivable: The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value.

 

   

Debt: The carrying amount of our floating-rate debt approximates fair value. The fair value of the fixed-rate debt is estimated based on quoted market prices as a Level 2 fair value.

 

   

Commodity swaps: Fair value is estimated based on forward market prices and approximates the exit price at period end. When forward market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using the forward prices of a similar commodity with adjustments for differences in quality or location.

 

   

Futures: Fair values are based on quoted market prices obtained from the New York Mercantile Exchange, the InterContinental Exchange Futures, or other traded exchanges.

 

   

Forward-exchange contracts: Fair values are estimated by comparing the contract rate to the forward rate in effect at the end of the respective reporting periods and approximating the exit price at those dates.

The December 31, 2011, commodity derivative liabilities appear net of $55 million of rights to reclaim cash collateral.

Note 15—Employee Benefit Plans

Pension Plans

Prior to the separation, certain of our U.S. and U.K. employees participated in defined benefit pension plans and postretirement health and life insurance plans (Shared Plans) sponsored by ConocoPhillips, which included participants of other ConocoPhillips subsidiaries. Through the separation date, we accounted for such Shared Plans as multiemployer benefit plans. Accordingly, we did not record an asset or liability to recognize the funded status of the Shared Plans on our consolidated balance sheet until the separation date. We recorded expenses of $21 million and $84 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $63 million and $126 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, for our allocation of U.S. and U.K. pension costs prior to the separation date.

At the separation date, the assets and liabilities of certain defined benefit plans and postretirement benefit plans, allocable to Phillips 66 employees, were transferred to Phillips 66. Plan assets of $2,092 million, benefit obligations of $3,072 million and $870 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss ($541 million net of tax) were recorded for the plans transferred to us. The amount of plan assets transferred is expected to be adjusted based on final actuarial analyses in the third quarter of 2012.

Certain plans in the U.S. and U.K. were remeasured after the separation. As of May 1, 2012, we selected a discount rate of 4.2 percent in the U.S. and 5.0 percent in the U.K. In determining the discount rates, we used yields on high-quality fixed income investments matched to the estimated benefit cash flows of our plans. Based on our long-term plans for compensation increases and expected economic conditions, including the effects of merit increases, promotions and general inflation, we selected an assumption rate for compensation increases of 3.75 percent in the U.S. and 4.2 percent in the U.K. We also selected an estimated long-term rate of return assumption of 7.0 percent in the U.S. and 5.9 percent in the U.K. These assumptions were used in the determination of net periodic benefit cost in the U.S. and U.K. for the period from May 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012.

Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2012, were the following before-tax amounts that had not been recognized in net periodic benefit cost:

Plan Assets

The investment strategy for managing pension plan assets is to seek a reasonable rate of return relative to an appropriate level of risk and provide adequate liquidity for benefit payments and portfolio management. We follow a policy of broadly diversifying pension plan assets across asset classes, investment managers, and individual holdings. As a result, our plan assets have no significant concentrations of credit risk. Asset classes that are considered appropriate include equities, fixed income, cash, real estate and insurance contracts. Plan fiduciaries may consider and add other asset classes to the investment program from time to time. The target allocations for plan assets are 62 percent equity securities, 36 percent debt securities, 1 percent real estate and 1 percent in all other types of investments. Generally, the investments in the plans are publicly traded, therefore minimizing liquidity risk in the portfolio.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the pension plan assets.

 

   

Fair values of equity securities and government debt securities categorized in Level 1 are primarily based on quoted market prices.

 

   

Fair values of corporate debt securities, agency and mortgage-backed securities and government debt securities categorized in Level 2 are estimated using recently executed transactions and market price quotations. If there have been no market transactions in a particular fixed income security, its fair market value is calculated by pricing models that benchmark the security against other securities with actual market prices. When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is based on pricing models that use something other than actual market prices (e.g., observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades and issuer spreads for similar securities), and these securities are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

   

Fair values of investments in common/collective trusts are determined by the issuer of each fund based on the fair value of the underlying assets.

 

   

Fair values of mutual funds are valued based on quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held. Certain mutual funds are categorized in Level 2 as they are not valued on a daily basis.

 

   

Cash is valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

 

   

Fair values of insurance contracts are valued at the present value of the future benefit payments owed by the insurance company to the Plans’ participants.

 

   

Fair values of real estate investments are valued using real estate valuation techniques and other methods that include reference to third-party sources and sales comparables where available.

Share-Based Compensation

Prior to the separation, our employees participated in the “2011 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan of ConocoPhillips” (the COP Omnibus Plan), under which they were eligible to receive ConocoPhillips stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and restricted performance share units (PSUs). Effective on the separation date of April 30, 2012, our employees and non-employee directors began participating in the “Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan of Phillips 66” (the P66 Omnibus Plan).

The P66 Omnibus Plan authorizes the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the Committee) to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards (including restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards), cash awards, and performance awards to our employees or non-employee directors and other plan participants. Of the 55 million shares of Phillips 66 common stock issuable under the P66 Omnibus Plan, no more than 40 million shares are available for incentive stock options and no more than 40 million shares are available for awards in stock.

In connection with the separation, share-based compensation awards granted under the COP Omnibus Plan and held by grantees as of April 30, 2012, were adjusted or substituted as follows. These adjustments were intended to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards as of April 30, 2012.

 

   

Exercisable awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights were adjusted so that the grantee received options to purchase both ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 common stock.

 

   

Unexercisable awards of stock options held by Phillips 66 employees were replaced with substitute awards to purchase only Phillips 66 common stock.

 

   

Restricted stock and PSUs awarded for completed performance periods under the ConocoPhillips Performance Share Program (PSP) were adjusted so that the grantee received both ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 restricted stock and PSUs.

 

   

Restricted stock and RSUs received under all programs other than the PSP were replaced entirely with substitute Phillips 66 restricted stock and RSUs.

Awards granted in connection with the adjustment and substitution of awards originally issued under the COP Omnibus Plan are a part of the P66 Omnibus Plan and are included in the maximum number of shares of Phillips 66 common stock available for delivery under the P66 Omnibus Plan.

The adjustment and substitution of awards resulted in the recognition of $9 million of incremental compensation expense in the second quarter of 2012.

All option, RSU, and PSU awards presented in this table are for Phillips 66 stock only, including those awards held by ConocoPhillips employees.

As of June 30, 2012, unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards was $11 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years. Unrecognized compensation cost related to RSU and PSU awards was $96 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years. The calculations of unamortized expense and weighted-average periods include awards based on both Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips stock held by Phillips 66 employees.

The terms “earnings” and “loss” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refer to net income (loss) attributable to Phillips 66.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Phillips 66 is an international downstream company with refining and marketing, midstream and chemicals businesses. At June 30, 2012, we had total assets of $49 billion. On May 1, 2012, our common stock began trading “regular-way” on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PSX.”

The Separation

On April 4, 2012, the ConocoPhillips Board of Directors approved the separation of its downstream businesses into an independent, publicly traded company named Phillips 66. In accordance with a separation and distribution agreement, the two companies were separated by ConocoPhillips distributing to its stockholders all 625,272,302 shares of common stock of Phillips 66 after the market closed on April 30, 2012. Each ConocoPhillips shareholder received one share of Phillips 66 stock for every two shares of ConocoPhillips stock held at the close of business on the record date of April 16, 2012. Fractional shares of Phillips 66 common stock were not distributed and any fractional shares of Phillips 66 common stock otherwise issuable to a ConocoPhillips shareholder were sold in the open market on such shareholder’s behalf, and such shareholder received a cash payment with respect to that fractional share. In conjunction with the separation, ConocoPhillips received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, based on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings set forth in the ruling, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the distribution of Phillips 66 stock was not taxable to ConocoPhillips or U.S. holders of ConocoPhillips common stock, except in respect to cash received in lieu of fractional share interests. Following the separation, ConocoPhillips retained no ownership interest in Phillips 66, and each company now has separate public ownership, boards of directors and management. A registration statement on Form 10, as amended through the time of its effectiveness, describing the separation was filed by Phillips 66 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and was declared effective on April 12, 2012 (the Form 10). Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement with ConocoPhillips, on April 30, 2012, we made a special cash distribution to ConocoPhillips of $5.95 billion. After subsequent working capital and inventory determinations, an additional cash distribution of $1.87 billion was made to ConocoPhillips in June 2012. After consideration of the cash retained by Phillips 66 at separation, as well as cash flow impacts of the four months ended April 30, 2012, the net distribution to ConocoPhillips was $5.3 billion.

Basis of Presentation

Prior to the separation on April 30, 2012, our results of operations, financial position and cash flows consisted of ConocoPhillips’ refining, marketing and transportation operations; its natural gas gathering, processing, transmission and marketing operations, primarily conducted through its equity investment in DCP Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream); its petrochemical operations, conducted through its equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem); its power generation operations; and an allocable portion of its corporate costs (together, the “downstream businesses”). These financial statements have been presented as if

Table of Contents

the downstream businesses had been combined for all periods presented. All intercompany transactions and accounts within the downstream businesses were eliminated. The assets and liabilities have been reflected on a historical cost basis, as all of the assets and liabilities presented were wholly owned by ConocoPhillips and were transferred within the ConocoPhillips consolidated group. The statement of income for periods prior to the separation includes expense allocations for certain corporate functions historically performed by ConocoPhillips and not allocated to its operating segments, including allocations of general corporate expenses related to executive oversight, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, procurement and information technology. These allocations were based primarily on specific identification of time and/or activities associated with the downstream businesses, employee headcount or capital expenditures. The combined financial statements may not necessarily reflect all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had we been a stand-alone company during the periods presented prior to the separation. All financial information presented after the separation represents the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Phillips 66.

Business Environment

Results for our Refining and Marketing (R&M) segment depend largely on refining and marketing margins, cost control, refinery throughput, and product yields. The overall change in crack spreads will impact our refining margins. Both domestic and international industry crack spreads improved in the second quarter of 2012. The U.S. 3:2:1 crack spread increased in the second quarter of 2012, compared with both the second quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. The improvement in domestic industry crack spreads primarily resulted from the decline in crude oil prices outpacing the decline in refined product prices.

In addition, record inventory levels in the Midcontinent, combined with constrained infrastructure out of the region, continue to cause West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude to trade at a deep discount relative to waterborne crudes. Refineries capable of processing WTI crude and crude oils that are WTI based, primarily the Midcontinent and Gulf Coast refineries, benefitted from these lower regional feedstock prices.

The Northwest Europe benchmark crack spread increased in the second quarter of 2012, compared with the second quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. The improvement over both periods was driven by lower crude oil prices, due to economic concerns out of Europe related to the debt crisis as well as worries related to economic growth in the United States and China.

The Midstream segment’s results are closely linked to natural gas liquids prices and, to a lesser extent, natural gas prices. Natural gas liquids prices decreased in the second quarter of 2012, compared with the second quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, due to growing natural gas liquids production from liquids-rich gas shale plays with limited corresponding demand increase from the petrochemical industry, combined with lower crude oil prices caused by uncertainties in the global economy.

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50 percent equity investment in CPChem. The chemicals and plastics industry is mainly a commodity-based industry where the margins for key products are based on market factors. The chemicals industry experienced improved ethylene margins in regions of the world where production is based upon natural gas liquids versus crude-derived feedstocks. In particular, North American ethane-based crackers benefitted from the lower-priced feedstocks.

Earnings for Phillips 66 increased 14 percent in the second quarter of 2012 and 6 percent in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared with the corresponding periods of 2011. The increases in both periods were primarily the result of:

 

   

Improved results from our R&M segment, mainly due to higher refining margins and marketing margins, and a gain of $106 million after-tax from the sale of Trainer Refinery and associated terminal and pipeline assets.

 

   

Improved results from our Chemicals segment, reflecting higher margins in the olefins and polyolefins business lines.

These improved results were partially offset by lower earnings from our Midstream segment resulting from a $170 million after-tax impairment of our equity investment in Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (REX) and lower natural gas liquids prices, and higher corporate repositioning expenses and interest expense.

See the “Segment Results” section for additional information on our segment results.

Income Statement Analysis

Sales and other operating revenues for the second quarter and six-month period of 2012 decreased 11 percent and 5 percent, respectively, and purchased crude oil and products decreased 13 percent and 6 percent, respectively. The decreases were mainly due to lower prices for petroleum products, crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGL).

Equity in earnings of affiliates for the second quarter and six-month period of 2012 increased 4 percent and 5 percent, respectively. The increases in both periods primarily resulted from:

 

   

Improved earnings from WRB Refining LP (WRB), mainly due to higher refining margins in the Central Corridor, combined with processing higher refining volumes associated with the start-up of the coker and refining expansion (CORE) project at the Wood River Refinery.

 

   

Improved earnings from CPChem, primarily due to higher margins in the olefins and polyolefins business lines.

These increases were partially offset by:

 

   

Lower earnings from DCP Midstream, mainly due to lower natural gas liquids prices and, to a lesser extent, natural gas and crude oil prices.

 

   

Lower earnings from Malaysian Refining Company Sdn., mainly due to lower refining margins.

Net gain on dispositions for the second quarter and six-month period of 2012 increased $145 million and $144 million, respectively, primarily related to the before-tax gain of $189 million from the sale of Trainer Refinery and associated terminal and pipeline assets in the second quarter of 2012. For additional information on the sale, see Note 5—Assets Held for Sale or Sold, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other income for the second quarter and six-month period of 2012 both increased $68 million, primarily related to gains from trading activities not directly related to our physical business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter and six-month period of 2012 increased 38 percent and 24 percent, respectively, primarily resulting from costs associated with the separation of Phillips 66 from ConocoPhillips, and incremental costs relating to a prior retail disposition program.

Impairments for the second quarter and six-month period of 2012 increased $273 million and $316 million, respectively, primarily related to the $275 million impairment of our equity investment in REX and the $42 million impairment of equipment formerly associated with the canceled Wilhelmshaven Refinery (WRG) upgrade project. For additional information on the impairments, see Note 8—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest and debt expense for the second quarter and six-month period of 2012 increased $80 million and $89 million, respectively, primarily due to new debt issued in March and April of 2012.

Foreign currency transaction (gains) losses for the second quarter of 2012 were an $8 million loss compared with a gain of $31 million for the second quarter of 2011. For the six-month period of 2012, the gains decreased $67 million compared with the same period of 2011. The unfavorable changes were primarily due to the U.S. dollar strengthening against both the British pound and the euro during both periods of 2012, compared with the U.S. dollar weakening against both the British pound and the euro during the corresponding periods of 2011.

See Note 18—Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information regarding our provision for income taxes and effective tax rates.

The R&M segment refines crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products (such as gasoline, distillates and aviation fuels); buys, sells and transports crude oil; and buys, transports, distributes and markets petroleum products. This segment also includes power generation operations. R&M has operations mainly in the United States, Europe and Asia.

R&M reported earnings of $1,184 million during the second quarter of 2012, an increase of $410 million, or 53 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2011. Earnings for the first six months of 2012 were $1,584 million, an increase of $322 million, or 26 percent, compared with the same period of 2011. See the “Business Environment and Executive Overview” section for information on industry crack spreads and other market factors impacting this quarter’s results.

Earnings for both periods of 2012 improved, primarily due to higher worldwide refining margins, wholesale marketing margins, and lubricant margins, as well as a gain of $106 million after-tax from the sale of Trainer Refinery and associated terminal and pipeline assets. These items were partially offset by foreign currency transaction losses and a higher provision for income taxes associated with foreign dividends.

Additionally, the six-month period of 2012 included a $42 million after-tax property impairment related to equipment formerly associated with the canceled WRG upgrade project. For additional information on the impairment, see Note 8—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the six-month period of 2012, our refineries processed higher refining volumes in our higher-margin Central Corridor region, while processing lower refining volumes in our Atlantic Basin/Europe region due to the shutdown of Trainer Refinery in September 2011, which positively impacted our earnings.

Our worldwide refining capacity utilization rate was 93 percent in the second quarter of 2012, compared with 91 percent in the second quarter of 2011. The current year improvement was primarily due to improved market conditions.

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 electric utilities, industrial users and gas marketing companies. Most of the natural gas liquids are fractionated—separated into individual components such as ethane, propane and butane—and marketed as chemical feedstock, fuel or blendstock. The Midstream segment consists of our 50 percent equity investment in DCP Midstream, as well as other natural gas liquids fractionation, trading and marketing businesses in the United States. The Midstream segment also includes our 25 percent ownership interest in REX.

Earnings from the Midstream segment decreased $202 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $174 million in the six-month period of 2012, compared with the corresponding periods of 2011. The decreases in both periods were primarily due to a $170 million after-tax impairment of our equity investment in REX and decreased earnings from DCP Midstream, partially offset by improved earnings from our NGL trading and marketing business. For additional information on the impairment of REX, see Note 8—Impairments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The decrease in earnings of DCP Midstream mainly resulted from lower NGL prices and, to a lesser extent, natural gas and crude oil prices, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization (D&A) as described below. See the “Business Environment and Executive Overview” section for additional information on natural gas liquids prices.

During the second quarter of 2012, DCP Midstream completed a review of the estimated depreciable lives of its major classes of properties, plants and equipment (PP&E). As a result of that review, the depreciable lives were extended. This change in accounting estimate was implemented on a prospective basis, effective April 1, 2012. DCP Midstream estimates its D&A will be lowered approximately $240 million per year (on a 100 percent basis), which would be an estimated after-tax benefit to our equity earnings from DCP Midstream of approximately $75 million.

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50 percent interest in 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.

Earnings from the Chemicals segment increased $17 million, or 9 percent, in the second quarter of 2012 and $49 million, or 13 percent, in the six-month period of 2012, compared with the corresponding periods of 2011. The increases in both periods of 2012 primarily resulted from higher polyethylene and ethylene margins, reflecting lower feedstock costs, and lower utility costs due to decreased natural gas prices, partially offset by a loss on early extinguishment of debt as described below, and higher operating costs due to plant turnaround activity in the second quarter of 2012. Ethylene margins benefitted from lower ethane and propane prices during the 2012 periods.

During the second quarter of 2012, CPChem began execution of its plan to retire $1 billion of fixed-rate debt by the end of 2012. On June 1, 2012, CPChem redeemed its $300 million of 7% notes due 2014 and its $300 million of 4.75% notes due 2021, and wrote off the associated unamortized debt issuance costs. CPChem recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $114 million (100 percent basis), which decreased our equity in earnings from CPChem, on an after-tax basis, by approximately $35 million. We expect that during the second-half of 2012, we will recognize a further after-tax reduction in equity earnings of approximately $50 million when CPChem retires its $400 million of 8.25% notes due 2019.

Net interest increased $42 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $49 million in the six-month period of 2012, compared with the corresponding periods of 2011, primarily due to the new debt issued in March and April of 2012. For additional information on the debt issuance, see Note 9—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $7 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $13 million in the six-month period of 2012, compared with the corresponding periods of 2011. The increases in both periods were primarily due to higher actual expenses as a stand-alone company for the two-month period subsequent to the separation.

Repositioning costs consist of expenses related to the separation of Phillips 66 from ConocoPhillips. Expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2012 primarily included compensation and benefits, information systems, and shared services costs.

The category “Other” includes certain foreign currency transaction gains and losses, environmental costs associated with sites no longer in operation, and other costs not directly associated with an operating segment.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Significant Sources of Capital

Historically, cash generated from operating activities has been our primary source of liquidity and capital resources. In addition, we received proceeds from asset dispositions.

Operating Activities

During the first six months of 2012, cash provided by operating activities was $1,073 million compared with $1,538 million in the corresponding period of 2011. The decline in the 2012 period reflects the negative working capital impacts of decreasing commodity prices during the first six months of 2012 versus increasing commodity prices in the first six months of 2011, partially offset by higher realized refining and marketing margins in the 2012 period.

Our short- and long-term operating cash flows are highly dependent upon refining and marketing margins, prices for natural gas liquids, and chemicals margins. Prices and margins in our industry are typically volatile and are driven by market conditions over which we have little or no control. Absent other mitigating factors, as these prices and margins fluctuate, we would expect a corresponding change in our operating cash flows.

Generally, demand for gasoline is higher during the spring and summer months than during the fall and winter months in most of our markets due to seasonal changes in highway traffic. As a result, our operating results in the first and fourth quarters are generally lower than in the second and third quarters. However, our cash flow from operations may not always follow this seasonal trend in operating results, due to working capital fluctuations associated with inventory management. Historically, we have built inventory levels during the first quarter (thus lowering cash flow from operations) and lowered inventory levels in the fourth quarter (increasing cash flow from operations).

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, market conditions, 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 caused by margins and prices.

Our operating cash flows are also impacted by dividend decisions made by our equity affiliates, including WRB, DCP Midstream and CPChem. During the first six months of 2012, we received dividends of $988 million from our equity affiliates, compared with $666 million during the same period of 2011. We cannot control the amount of future dividends from equity affiliates; therefore, future dividend payments by these companies are not assured. For a discussion of distributions by CPChem, see the “Capital Spending—Chemicals” section.

Credit Facilities

In February 2012, we entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions. Under the terms of the revolving credit agreement, we have a borrowing capacity of up to $4.0 billion. We have not borrowed under this facility. However, as of June 30, 2012, $50 million in letters of credit had been issued that were supported by this facility.

 

38


Table of Contents

The revolving credit agreement contains covenants that we consider usual and customary for an agreement of this type for comparable commercial borrowers, including a maximum consolidated net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60 percent. The agreement has customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; cross-payment default and cross-acceleration (in each case, to indebtedness in excess of a threshold amount); and a change of control.

Borrowings under the credit agreement will incur interest at LIBOR plus a margin based on the credit rating of our senior unsecured long-term debt as determined from time to time by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) and Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s). The revolving credit agreement also provides for customary fees, including administrative agent fees and commitment fees.

During April, a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary entered into a trade receivables securitization facility with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $1.2 billion, and a term of three years. As of June 30, 2012, no amount had been drawn under the facility. However, $279 million in letters of credit had been issued that were supported by the facility.

Debt Financings

During March 2012, we issued, through a private placement, $5.8 billion of debt consisting of:

 

   

$0.8 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.950% Senior Notes due 2015.

 

   

$1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.950% Senior Notes due 2017.

 

   

$2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.300% Senior Notes due 2022.

 

   

$1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2042.

The notes are guaranteed by Phillips 66 Company, a wholly owned subsidiary. In connection with the private placement, we and Phillips 66 Company granted the holders of the notes certain registration rights under a Registration Rights Agreement. We have agreed for the benefit of the holders of the notes to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause to be effective a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on an appropriate form with respect to a registered offer to exchange each series of notes for new notes that are guaranteed by Phillips 66 Company with terms substantially identical in all material respects to such series of notes. Generally, we have one year from the issuance of the Senior Notes to complete the exchange offer.

During April 2012, approximately $185 million of previously existing debt was retired. Also during April, we closed on $2.0 billion of new debt as a three-year amortizing term loan. The term loan bears interest at a variable rate based on referenced rates plus a margin dependent upon the credit rating of our senior unsecured long-term debt as determined from time to time by S&P and Moody’s. As of June 30, 2012, the interest rate was 1.716 percent.

Our senior unsecured long-term debt has been rated investment grade by Moody’s and S&P. We do not have any ratings triggers on any of our corporate debt that would cause an automatic default, and thereby impact our access to liquidity, in the event of a downgrade of our credit rating. If our credit rating deteriorated to a level prohibiting us from accessing the commercial paper market, we would expect to be able to access funds under our $5.2 billion in liquidity facilities mentioned above.

Because of the opportunities available to us, including internally generated cash flow and access to capital markets, we believe our short-term and long-term liquidity will be adequate to fund not only our operations, but also our anticipated near-term and long-term funding requirements, including capital spending programs, dividend payments, defined benefit plan contributions, repayment of debt maturities and other amounts that may ultimately be paid in connection with contingencies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In April 2012, in connection with the separation, we entered into an agreement to guarantee 100 percent of certain outstanding debt obligations of Merey Sweeny, L.P. (MSLP). At June 30, 2012, the aggregate principal amount of MSLP debt guaranteed by us was $242 million.

For additional information about guarantees, see Note 11—Guarantees, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capital Requirements

For information about our capital expenditures and investments, see the “Capital Spending” section.

On July 11, 2012, our Board of Directors declared the payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend is payable on September 4, 2012, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 23, 2012.

On July 31, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of our outstanding common stock. We expect to begin purchases under this authorization in the third quarter of 2012. The share repurchases are expected to be funded primarily through cash generated by operating activities. Shares of stock repurchased will be held as treasury shares.

R&M

Capital spending for the R&M segment during the first six months of 2012 was primarily for air emission reduction and clean fuels projects to meet new environmental standards, refinery upgrade projects to improve product yields, improvements to the operating integrity of key processing units and safety-related projects. During the first six months of 2012, R&M capital spending was $454 million.

Major construction activities in progress include:

 

   

Revamp and expansions of equipment for production of low benzene gasoline at Bayway Refinery.

 

   

Several reliability and maintenance capital projects across the refining system aimed at improving operating availability.

 

   

Programs aimed at air emission reductions in various U.S. plants.

Generally, our equity affiliates in the R&M segment are intended to have self-funding capital programs.

Midstream

During the first six months of 2012, DCP Midstream had a self-funded capital program, and thus required no new capital infusions from us or our co-venturer. During this period, on a 100 percent basis, DCP Midstream’s capital expenditures and investments were approximately $1,125 million. We are currently forecasting DCP Midstream to remain self-funding through 2012.

Chemicals

During the first six months of 2012, CPChem had a self-funded capital program, and thus required no new capital infusions from us or our co-venturer. During this period, on a 100 percent basis, CPChem’s capital expenditures and investments were approximately $290 million. Our agreement with Chevron Corporation regarding CPChem provides for CPChem to: (i) prior to the separation, halt all mandatory cash distributions to its owners and accumulate its excess cash; and (ii) after the separation, use the accumulated cash and its excess cash flow to retire all of its approximately $1 billion outstanding fixed-rate debt on an accelerated basis. In the second quarter of 2012, CPChem paid $714 million to redeem an aggregate principal balance of $600 million of debt, together with $114 million of prepayment premiums. During this period of debt repayment, CPChem is not required to make any cash distributions to its owners. In addition, after the separation, the agreement generally provides that instead of CPChem incurring debt, CPChem’s owners will make capital infusions as necessary to fund CPChem’s capital requirements to the extent these requirements exceed CPChem’s available cash from operations. We are currently forecasting CPChem to remain self-funding through 2012.

Contingencies

A number of lawsuits involving a variety of claims have been made against us that arose in the ordinary course of business. We also may be required 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 active and inactive sites. We regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), 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 receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we use 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 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.

Legal and Tax Matters

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 that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. 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 regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, are required.

Environmental

We are subject to the same numerous international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations as other companies in our industry. 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 146, 147 and 148 of the Information Statement included in the Form 10.

We occasionally receive requests for information or notices of potential liability from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 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, 2011, we reported that we had been notified of potential liability under CERCLA and comparable state laws at 61 sites around the United States. During the first two quarters of 2012, we were notified of one new site and 10 sites were resolved and closed, leaving 52 unresolved sites with potential liability.

At June 30, 2012, our consolidated balance sheet included a total environmental accrual of $538 million, compared with $542 million at December 31, 2011. We expect to incur a substantial amount 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 concerns 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 current environmental laws and regulations.

The EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program was implemented in accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. The RFS program sets annual quotas for the percentage of biofuels (such as ethanol) that must be blended into motor fuels consumed in the United States. A Renewable Identification Number (RIN) represents a serial number assigned to each gallon of biofuel produced or imported into the United States. As a producer of petroleum-based motor fuels, we are obligated to blend biofuels into the products we produce at a rate that is at least equal to the EPA’s quota and, to the extent we do not, we must purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy our obligation under the RFS program. The market for RINs has been the subject of fraudulent activity, and we have identified that we have unknowingly purchased RINs in the past that were invalid due to fraudulent activity. Although costs to replace fraudulently marketed RINs that have been determined to be invalid have not been material through June 30, 2012, it is reasonably possible that some additional RINs that we have previously purchased may also be determined to be invalid. Should that occur, we would incur additional replacement charges. Although the cost for replacing any additional fraudulently marketed RINs is not reasonably estimable at this time, we could have a possible exposure of approximately $150 million before-tax. It could take several years for this possible exposure to reach ultimate resolution; therefore, we would not expect to incur the full financial impact of fraudulent RIN replacement costs in any single interim or annual period.

Climate Change

There has been a broad range of proposed or promulgated state, national and international laws focusing on greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction. These proposed or promulgated laws apply or could apply in countries where we have interests or may have interests in the future. Laws in this field continue to evolve, and while it is not possible to accurately estimate either a timetable for implementation or our future compliance costs relating to implementation, such laws, if enacted, could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. We previously disclosed that the EPA’s announcement on March 29, 2010 (published as “Interpretation of Regulations that Determine Pollutants Covered by Clean Air Act Permitting Programs,” 75 Fed. Reg. 17004 (April 2, 2010)), and the EPA’s and U.S. Department of Transportation’s joint promulgation of a Final Rule on April 1, 2010, that triggers regulation of GHGs under the Clean Air Act, may lead to more climate-based claims for damages, and may result in longer agency review time for development projects to determine the extent of climate change. Challenges to both the announcement and rulemaking were recently denied by the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, but may be subject to additional legal actions. We continue to monitor other legislative and regulatory actions and legal proceedings globally for potential impacts on our operations.

For examples of legislation or precursors for possible regulation that do or could affect our operations, see the “Climate Change” section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 148 and 149 of the Information Statement included in the Form 10.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Projected Benefit Obligations

Determination of the projected benefit obligations for our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans are important to the recorded amounts for such obligations on the balance sheet and to the amount of benefit expense in the income statement. The actuarial determination of projected benefit obligations and company contribution requirements involves judgment about uncertain future events, including estimated retirement dates, salary levels at retirement, mortality rates, lump-sum election rates, rates of return on plan assets, future health care cost-trend rates, and rates of utilization of health care services by retirees. Due to the specialized nature of these calculations, we engage outside actuarial firms to assist in the determination of these projected benefit obligations and company contribution requirements. For Employee Retirement Income Security Act-qualified pension plans, the actuary exercises fiduciary care on behalf of plan participants in the determination of the judgmental assumptions used in determining required company contributions into the plan. Due to differing objectives and requirements between financial accounting rules and the pension plan funding regulations promulgated by governmental agencies, the actuarial methods and assumptions for the two purposes differ in certain important respects. Ultimately, we will be required to fund all promised benefits under pension and postretirement benefit plans not funded by plan assets or investment returns, but the judgmental assumptions used in the actuarial calculations significantly affect periodic financial statements and funding patterns over time. Benefit expense is particularly sensitive to the discount rate and return on plan assets assumptions. A 1 percent decrease in the discount rate assumption would increase annual benefit expense by an estimated $40 million, while a 1 percent decrease in the return on plan assets assumption would increase annual benefit expense by an estimated $20 million. In determining the discount rate, we use yields on high-quality fixed income investments matched to the estimated benefit cash flows of our plans.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE “SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify our forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target” and similar expressions.

We based the forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections about us and the industries in which we operate in general. We caution you these statements are not guarantees of future performance as they involve assumptions that, while made in good faith, may prove to be incorrect, and involve risks and uncertainties we cannot predict. In addition, we based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what we have expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Any differences could result from a variety of factors, including the following:

 

   

Fluctuations in crude oil, NGL, and natural gas prices, refining and marketing margins and margins for our chemicals business.

 

   

Failure of new products and services to achieve market acceptance.

The level and success of natural gas drilling around DCP Midstream’s assets, the level and quality of gas production volumes around its assets and its ability to connect supplies to its gathering and processing systems in light of competition.

 

   

Inability to timely obtain or maintain permits, including those necessary for refinery projects; comply with government regulations; or make capital expenditures required to maintain compliance.

 

   

Failure to complete definitive agreements and feasibility studies for, and to timely complete construction of, announced and future refinery, chemical plant, midstream and transportation projects.

 

   

Potential disruption or interruption of our operations due to accidents, extraordinary weather events, civil unrest, political events, terrorism or cyber attacks.

 

   

International monetary conditions and exchange controls.

 

   

Substantial investment or reduced demand for products as a result of existing or future environmental rules and regulations.

 

   

Liability for remedial actions, including removal and reclamation obligations, under environmental regulations.

 

   

Liability resulting from litigation.

Item 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Information about market risks for the six months ended June 30, 2012, does not differ materially from that discussed on pages 152 and 153 in the Information Statement included in the Form 10.

Item 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

With the participation of management, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of June 30, 2012.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act, in the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 2012. We did not have material developments with respect to matters previously reported in the Form 10 or the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. While it is not possible to accurately predict the final outcome of these pending proceedings, if any one or more of such proceedings was decided adversely to Phillips 66, 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 (SEC) 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 or other reports required by permits or regulations, we occasionally report matters that could be subject to a request for stipulated penalties. If a specific request for stipulated penalties meeting the reporting threshold set forth in SEC 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

In May 2012, the Illinois Attorney General’s office filed and served a complaint against Phillips 66 with respect to operations at the WRB Wood River Refinery alleging violations of the Illinois groundwater standards and a third-party’s hazardous waste permit. The complaint seeks as relief remediation of area groundwater, compliance with the hazardous waste permit, enhanced pipeline and tank integrity measures, additional spill reporting, and yet-to-be specified amounts for fines and penalties. Phillips 66 is working with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and Attorney General’s office to resolve these allegations.

On March 7, 2012, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (the District) issued a $302,500 demand to settle five Notices of Violation (NOVs) issued between 2008 and 2010. The NOVs allege non-compliance with the District rules and/or facility permit conditions. We are working with the District to resolve this matter.

Item 1A.   RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Information Statement included in the Form 10.

Item 2.   UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On July 31, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of our outstanding common stock. We expect to begin purchases under this authorization, which has no expiration date, in the third quarter of 2012. The shares will be repurchased from time to time in the open market at the company’s discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors, and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and the Tax Sharing Agreement entered into in connection with the separation from ConocoPhillips. We are not obligated to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may commence, suspend or discontinue purchases at any time or from time to time without prior notice. Shares of stock repurchased will be held as treasury shares.

It is not anticipated that such future capital requirements of the Company will be funded through the incurrence of indebtedness for borrowed money; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent (i) the entry into commercial cash management facilities, including but not limited to corporate revolving credit facilities, commercial paper programs and accounts receivable securitization programs, solely for short term or general working capital purposes or (ii) project financing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any additional Capital Contributions by the Members or loans from Members to the Company are approved by the Members and the Board of Directors, no Tax Distributions shall be made with respect to the two (2) Fiscal Quarters that end immediately after the date that each such additional Capital Contribution or loan is made (each such period, a “Suspension Period”).

8.3 WITHDRAWAL OR REDUCTION OF CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS .

(a) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to withdraw from the Company all or any part of its Capital Contribution.

(b) A Member, irrespective of the nature of its Capital Contribution, shall not have the right to demand and receive a distribution in kind in return for its Capital Contribution, unless the Members shall have otherwise unanimously agreed.

8.4 NO RETURN ON OR OF CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS . No amounts shall be payable on, with respect to, or in return of, Capital Contributions or Capital Accounts of Members except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

8.5 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS . A single Capital Account shall be maintained for each Member (regardless of the class of interests owned by such Member and regardless of the time or

 

26


manner in which such interests were acquired) in accordance with the capital accounting rules of section 704(b) of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder (including without limitation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Income Tax Regulations) and as further described in this Section 8.5.

(a) There shall be established for each Member a Capital Account reflecting the excess (or deficit) of (a) the sum of (i) the Carrying Value of assets contributed to the Company by such Member and the amount of cash contributed to the Company by such Member under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 or paid pursuant to a note contributed to the Company by such Member, (ii) such Member’s share of Net Profits calculated in accordance with Section 9.1 and any items in the nature of income or gain that are specifically allocated to such Member under Section 9.1, and (iii) the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member or which are secured by any property distributed to such Member over (b) the sum of (i) such Member’s share of Net Losses under Section 9.1 and any items in the nature of losses or expenses that are specifically allocated to such Member under Section 9.1, (ii) any distributions to such Member under Section 9.2 or Section 12.6, and (iii) liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by such Member. In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of this section, there shall be taken into account section 752(c) of the Code and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Income Tax Regulations.

(b) In the event of a transfer of all or any portion of a Member’s interest in the Company pursuant to Article 10 hereof, the Capital Account of any transferee shall include the appropriate portion of the Capital Account of the Member from which the transferee’s interest in the Company was obtained.

(c) When Company property is distributed in kind (whether in connection with liquidation and dissolution or otherwise), the Capital Accounts of the Members shall first be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss and deduction inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the Capital Account previously) would be allocated among the Members if there were a taxable disposition of such property for the fair market value of such property (taking into account section 7701(g) of the Code) on the date of distribution.

(d) The appropriate Officers shall make or cause to be made all necessary adjustments in each Member’s Capital Account as required by the capital accounting rules of section 704(b) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

8.6 LOANS BY MEMBERS TO THE COMPANY . No Member shall be obligated to lend money to the Company. No Member may lend money to the Company without the consent of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall approve all material terms of such a loan, including, without limitation, the interest rate and term. Any loan by a Member to the Company with the required consent of the Board of Directors shall be separately entered on the books of the Company as a loan to the Company and not as a Capital Contribution, and shall be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed by at least one Class C Director and one Class P Director on behalf of the Company and delivered to the lending Member.

 

27


8.7 TREATMENT OF CERTAIN INDEMNITY PAYMENTS .

(a) If Company makes any payment to a third party that is subject to indemnification by a Class C Member, a Class P Member or a Previous Phillips Member (or any Affiliate thereof) pursuant to the Contribution Agreement or Annex B or C thereto (a “Company Indemnifiable Payment”), the Members intend such payment to be treated as preserving the value of the contribution made pursuant to Article II of the Contribution Agreement by the Member liable for the indemnity payment. Toward that end, each indemnity obligation arising in respect of a Company Indemnifiable Payment will be treated as having arisen immediately prior to such contribution of assets by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will be treated as if it had originally contributed assets with a Carrying Value increased by the amount of the Company Indemnifiable Payment, and the Company will be treated as having assumed an additional liability in the amount of the Company Indemnifiable Payment. As a result, the amounts credited to the Capital Accounts of the Class C Members in the aggregate and the Class P Members in the aggregate will remain equal. The Members also intend that the tax consequences of such Company Indemnifiable Payment and the indemnification payment itself shall inure to the Indemnifying Party, but, except as otherwise agreed by the Members, only to the extent that such tax result can be achieved without causing the Capital Accounts of the Class C Members in the aggregate and the Capital Accounts of the Class P Members in the aggregate to fail to be equal.

(b) If a Member or a Previous Phillips Member makes any payment to a third party that is subject to indemnification by the Company pursuant to the Contribution Agreement or Annex B or C thereto (a “Member Indemnifiable Payment”), the Members intend that the tax consequences of such Member Indemnifiable Payment and the indemnification payment itself shall inure to the Company and be shared by the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, but, except as otherwise agreed by the Members, only to the extent that such tax results can be achieved without causing the Capital Accounts of the Class C Members in the aggregate and the Capital Accounts of the Class P Members in the aggregate to fail to be equal.

8.8 TREATMENT OF CERTAIN DEFERRED CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS . As a result of the K-Resin Accident, the value of certain assets contributed by the Previous Phillips Members at Closing had declined from that which existed when the Initial Chevron Member and the Previous Phillips Members were first agreeing on the economic terms of the arrangement described in this Agreement. The Initial Chevron Member and the Previous Phillips Members could not agree on the amount of the decline in value, in part because they were unable to reach an agreement on the likely time and expense involved in repairing the damage caused by the K-Resin Accident and the degree and permanence of any loss of customers that the K-Resin Accident may cause. In order to resolve the issue, it was agreed that one or more of the Class P Members might have to make capital contributions to the Company after the Closing under the circumstances and in the amounts calculated under the provisions of the Contribution Agreement. The Members view such deferred capital contributions as necessary to preserve the pre K-Resin

 

28


Accident value of the business and assets contributed by the Class P Members. The Members agree that any deferred contributions are capital contributions and will not be reported as income by the Company.

8.9 SPECIAL RULE . An Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party on a Net After-Tax Basis against any income or franchise tax incurred in the event that any indemnification payment is treated as taxable income to the Indemnified Party. For purposes of this paragraph, “Net After-Tax Basis” means after any U.S. federal, state or local income or franchise taxes (computed using the Tax Rate) incurred as a result of such indemnification (assuming the deductibility of such state and local income and franchise taxes in calculating federal income tax), reduced by any tax benefit arising as a result of such indemnification.

8.10 APPLICATION OF THE BASKET, TAX BASKET AMOUNT AND CAP . No provision of this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement (including the Annexes thereto) shall be applied or interpreted in a manner that would cause any indemnification payment to be made that otherwise would not be payable because of application of the Basket, Tax Basket Amount or the Cap.

ARTICLE 9

ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS; TAX AND

ACCOUNTING MATTERS

9.1 ALLOCATIONS . Net Profit and Net Loss of the Company shall be determined and allocated with respect to each Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter or other period of the Company as follows:

(a) GENERAL ALLOCATION. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9, Net Profit and Net Loss for each Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter or other period shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

(b) REGULATORY ALLOCATIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following special allocations shall be made for each Fiscal Year or other period in the following order of priority:

(i) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year, then each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with section 1.704-2(g)(2) of the Income Tax Regulations. This subsection (b)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of section 1.704-2(f) of the Income Tax Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

29


(ii) If there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company taxable year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Income Tax Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in the amount equal to such Member’s share of net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Income Tax Regulations. This subsection (b)(ii) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement of section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Income Tax Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) If any Member unexpectedly receives (or Members unexpectedly receive) an adjustment, allocation or distribution of the type contemplated by section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Income Tax Regulations, items of income and gain shall be allocated to such Member (or if more than one Member receives such an adjustment, allocation or distribution, items of income and gain shall be allocated to such Members in proportion to the amounts of their respective Adjusted Capital Account Deficits) in an amount (or amounts) and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member (or deficits of such Members) as quickly as possible. It is intended that this subsection (b)(iii) qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Income Tax Regulations.

(iv) If the allocation of Net Loss to a Member as provided in Section 9.1(a) would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit and one or more other Members would have a positive Capital Account balance, there shall be allocated to such Member only that amount of Net Loss as will not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. The Net Loss that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Member shall, subject to the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit limitations of such sentence, be allocated to those Members having positive Capital Account balances up to the amount of such positive Capital Account balances in the ratios that each such Member’s positive Capital Account Balance bears to the sum of such positive Capital Account balances. To the extent that allocations of Net Losses have been made pursuant to this subsection (b)(iv), future allocations of Net Profits, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, shall be made first to restore such Net Losses.

(v) Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated each year to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of section 1.752-2 of the Income Tax Regulations) for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable.

 

30


(vi) Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(vii) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset, pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) of the Income Tax Regulations, to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of such Member’s interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) of the Income Tax Regulations applies, or to the Member to whom such distribution was made in the event section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) of the Income Tax Regulations applies

(viii) The allocations set forth in subsections (b)(i) through (b)(vii) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of sections 1.704-1(b), 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i) of the Income Tax Regulations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1(a), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

(c) TAX ALLOCATIONS.

(i) Except as provided in subsection (c)(ii), for income tax purposes under the Code and the Income Tax Regulations, Company taxable income and loss shall be allocated to each Member in the same manner that Company Net Profit and Net Loss (and items entering into the determination thereof) are allocated.

(ii) SECTION 704(C). In accordance with section 704(c) of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for income tax purposes, be allocated so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income

 

31


tax purposes and the initial Carrying Value of such property. If the Carrying Value of any Company property is adjusted as described in the definition of “Carrying Value”, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and the Carrying Value of such asset in the manner prescribed under Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder. With respect to assets contributed or required to be contributed by the Initial Chevron Member, Phillips 66 and the Previous Phillips Members at the Closing pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, for purposes of applying section 704(c) of the Code and this Section 9.1(c)(ii), the Company shall use the traditional method with curative allocations set forth in section 1.704-3(c) of the Income Tax Regulations. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Board of Directors.

(d) DEPRECIATION RECAPTURE. Solely for tax purposes, a Member’s share of the Company’s depreciation recapture recognized for tax purposes upon the disposition of Company property shall be computed in the manner provided for in sections 1.704-3(a)(11), 1.1245-1(e) and 1.1250-1(f) of the Income Tax Regulations. The provisions of this Section 9.1(d) are intended to affect only the character of the items of gain allocated by the Company to the Members. This Section 9.1(d) shall not affect the aggregate amount of gain (including gain characterized under this Section 9.1(d) as depreciation recapture) otherwise allocable to a Member pursuant to this Section 9.1.

(e) CHANGE IN PERCENTAGE INTERESTS. Except as otherwise required by law, if the Percentage Interests of the Members of the Company are changed during any taxable year, all items to be allocated to the Members for such entire taxable year shall be prorated on the basis of the portion of such taxable year which precedes each such change and the portion of such taxable year on and after each such change according to the number of days in each such portion, and the items so allocated for each such portion shall be allocated to the Members in the manner in which such items are allocated as provided in Section 9.1(a) during each such portion of the taxable year in question.

(f) EXCESS NONRECOURSE LIABILITIES. Nonrecourse liabilities of the Company that constitute “excess nonrecourse liabilities” within the meaning of section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations, shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(g) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(h) ALLOCATIONS RELATING TO CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS. In connection with the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including upon liquidation of the Company), items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall, except as otherwise required by subsections (b) through (f) above, be allocated to the Members

 

32


in the following manner: in such amounts as shall cause (A) the ratio of the Capital Account of each Member to the aggregate Capital Accounts of all Members to (B) equal as nearly as possible each Member’s respective Percentage Interest.

(i) STATE AND LOCAL ITEMS. Items of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and tax preference for state and local income tax purposes shall be allocated to and among the Members in a manner consistent with the allocation of such items for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.1.

9.2 DISTRIBUTIONS .

(a) Subject to Section 8.2 hereof, the Company shall distribute to each Member as promptly as practicable (and in any event within forty-five (45) days) after the end of each of the first three (3) Fiscal Quarters of each Fiscal Year of the Company an amount equal to such Member’s Quarterly Tax Distribution for such Fiscal Quarter. In addition, subject to Section 8.2 hereof, the Company shall distribute to each Member as promptly as practicable (and in any event within forty-five (45) days) after the end of each Fiscal Year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of such Member’s Proportionate Tax Share for such Fiscal Year over the aggregate amount of Quarterly Tax Distributions made to such Member with respect to such Fiscal Year; provided that, if a Suspension Period occurs during such Fiscal Year, such calculation shall exclude any Adjusted Taxable Income attributable to Fiscal Quarters within such Suspension Period; provided further that, if Section 9.2(b) ceases to prevent Tax Distributions pursuant to this Section 9.2(a) during a Fiscal Year, the calculation of the Tax Distribution to be made with respect to such Fiscal Year pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 9.2(a) shall also exclude any Adjusted Taxable Income attributable to Fiscal Quarters in such Fiscal Year that ended prior to the date when Section 9.2(b) ceased to prevent such Tax Distributions.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company make any Tax Distribution pursuant to Section 9.2(a) until the date upon which each of (i) the $300,000,000 7% Senior Notes due 2014, (ii) the $400,000,000 8   1 / 4 % Senior Notes due 2019 and (iii) the $300,000,000 4.75% Senior Notes due 2021, each issued by the Company and Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP as joint and several obligors (collectively, the “Bond Indebtedness”), has been repaid or redeemed in full or such repayment obligations otherwise have been fully discharged. The Class C Member and each of the Class P Members agree to cause the Class C Directors and the Class P Directors, respectively, to instruct management of the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to repay or redeem the Bond Indebtedness, as promptly as commercially practicable after the date hereof, with available cash of the Company in the manner most beneficial to the Company in management’s discretion.

(c) Any distributions by the Company to the Members, other than a Tax Distribution in accordance with Sections 9.2(a) and 9.2(b) hereof, shall be payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

 

33


(d) To the extent the Company is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member, the Company may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. For purposes of this Agreement, any such payments or withholdings shall be treated as a distribution to the Member on behalf of whom the withholding or payment was made.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2, the Company shall not make any distribution to the Members which would render the Company insolvent or which is otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

(f) Subsequent to the Closing, the Company made distributions to the Initial Chevron Member and the Previous Phillips Members as provided in Section 9.2(f) of the Amended & Restated LLC Agreement, and, after such distributions, the aggregate Capital Accounts of the Class C Members remained equal to the aggregate Capital Accounts of the Class P Members. The Company will use its best efforts to avoid taking any action that, or failing to take any action the failure of which to take, is likely to cause all or part of the distributions made pursuant to Section 9.2(f) of the Amended & Restated LLC Agreement to be taxable to one or more of the Members and in connection therewith the Members shall cooperate with the Company and each other.

(g) In the event that, within two years of the Closing or any contribution of an asset to the Company, the Members desire for the Company to make a distribution or payment to any of the Members or pay all or a portion of any liability, and if such distribution or payment to a Member or such payment of a liability may give rise to a disguised sale under section 707(a)(2)(B) of the Code or corresponding provision of state or local law, the Members shall cooperate to avoid such result without changing the intended economics of the arrangement.

(h) FORMATION AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.

(i) The Initial Chevron Member and the Previous Phillips Members intended that the contributions of P Chem (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) and C Chem (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) constitute a nonrecognition transaction pursuant to Section 721(a) of the Code, and the Initial Chevron Member and the Previous Phillips Members reported and caused the Company to report and otherwise treat the transfers of P Chem and C Chem to the Company as solely a nonrecognition transaction pursuant to Section 721(a) of the Code on all relevant tax returns and reports. Each Class P Member states that it has made capital expenditures that are eligible for reimbursement pursuant to Regulations Section 1.707-4(d) (“Reimbursable Capital Expenditures”) with respect to P Chem in an amount that is not less than the amount set forth opposite its name on Schedule 3 attached hereto, and the Class C Member states that it has made Reimbursable Capital Expenditures with respect to C Chem in an amount that is not less than the amount set forth opposite its name on Schedule 3 attached hereto.

 

34


(ii) If, absent this Section 9.2(h), any distribution to a Class P Member would cause any of the P Chem property transferred by a Previous Phillips Member to the Company pursuant to the Contribution Agreement to be treated as a sale of such property, or if, absent this Section 9.2(h), any distribution to a Class C Member would cause any of the C Chem property transferred by that Member to the Company pursuant to the Contribution Agreement to be treated as a sale of such property, then, to the extent permitted by Regulations Section 1.707-4(d), the Company and the Members shall treat such distribution as a reimbursement of Reimbursable Capital Expenditures made by such Person (up to the amount thereof as set forth on Schedule 3 less any portion of such amount that has been reimbursed by any prior distribution treated as a reimbursement of Reimbursable Capital Expenditures under this Section 9.2(h)).

(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Section 9.2(h)(ii), if, absent this Section 9.2(h), any distribution to a Member would cause any of the property transferred by that Member (or in the case of a Class P Member any property transferred by a Previous Phillips Member) to the Company pursuant to the Contribution Agreement to be treated as a sale of such property, then, to the extent permitted by Regulations Section 1.707-4(d), the Members and the Company shall treat (i) any excess of any of the distribution to a Class C Member of the Initial Financing required by Section 9.2(f) of the LLC Agreement and Section 6.16 of the Contribution Agreement and any distribution in respect of Actual Contributed Cash and/or Working Capital Difference required by Section 3.3 of the Contribution Agreement (collectively, the “Special Distribution”) over the Class C Member’s “allocable share” (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.707-5(b)) of the Interim Financing or other borrowing of the Company, the proceeds of which are allocable (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.707-5(b) and Notice 89-35, 1989-1 C.B. 675) to such Special Distribution, as reimbursements of Reimbursable Capital Expenditures incurred by such Class C Member (up to the amount thereof as set forth on Schedule 3 less any portion of such amount that has been reimbursed by any prior distribution treated as a reimbursement of Reimbursable Capital Expenditures under this Section 9.2(h)), and (ii) any excess of the Special Distribution to a Class P Member over the Class P Member’s “allocable share” (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.707-5(b)) of the Interim Financing or other borrowing of the Company, the proceeds of which are allocable (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.707-5(b) and Notice 89-35, 1989-1 C.B. 675) to such Special Distribution, as reimbursements of Reimbursable Capital Expenditures incurred by such Class P Member (up to the amount thereof as set forth on Schedule 3 less any portion of such amount that has been reimbursed by any prior distribution treated as a reimbursement of Reimbursable Capital Expenditures under this Section 9.2(h)).

 

35


9.3 ACCOUNTING MATTERS . The Company’s tax year shall be the calendar year unless otherwise required by section 706 of the Code or the Income Tax Regulations thereunder. The Board of Directors shall cause to be maintained complete books and records accurately reflecting the accounts, business and transactions of the Company on a calendar-year basis and using such cash, accrual, or hybrid method of accounting as in the judgment of the Board of Directors is most appropriate; provided, however, that books and records with respect to the Company’s Capital Accounts and allocations under this Agreement of Net Profit and Net Loss (and items entering into the determination thereof) and income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or item thereof) shall be kept on the basis of the Company’s Fiscal Year and under United States federal income tax accounting principles as applied to partnerships.

9.4 TAX STATUS AND RETURNS .

(a) Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, solely for United States federal income tax purposes, each of the Members hereby recognizes that the Company is subject to all provisions of Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code; provided, however , that the filing of U.S. Partnership Returns of Income shall not be construed to expand the purposes of the Company or expand the obligations or liabilities of the Members.

(b) The chief financial officer shall prepare or cause to be prepared all tax returns and statements, if any, that must be filed on behalf of the Company with any taxing authority, and shall make timely filing thereof. Within one-hundred eighty (180) days after the end of each calendar year, the Company shall cause to be prepared and delivered to each Member a report setting forth in reasonable detail the information with respect to the Company during such calendar year reasonably required to enable each Member to prepare its federal, state and local income tax returns in accordance with applicable law then prevailing.

9.5 754 ELECTION AND OTHER TAX ELECTIONS . In the event of a distribution of property to a Member, or a transfer of any interest in the Company permitted under the Act or this Agreement, the Company, upon the written request of the transferor or transferee, shall file a timely election under section 754 of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder to adjust the basis of the Company’s assets under section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code and a corresponding election under the applicable provisions of state and local law, and the person making such request shall pay all costs incurred by the Company in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees. Other tax elections and decisions relating to Taxes not specifically governed by any other express provision of this Agreement shall be made as agreed by the Board of Directors.

9.6 TAX MATTERS PARTNER .

(a) Phillips 66 Company shall be the Company’s “tax matters partner” for purposes of subchapter C of chapter 63 of subtitle F of the Code (dealing with the tax treatment of partnership items); provided, however , that the tax matters partner shall not take any action without the approval of the Board of Directors or its designee; and provided, further , that the tax matters partner shall receive no compensation for its services as tax matters partner but shall be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in acting in such capacity.

 

36


(b) The Company shall indemnify the tax matters partner (including the officers and directors of a corporate tax matters partner) against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses (including attorney fees) reasonably incurred in any civil, criminal, or investigative proceeding in which they are involved or threatened to be involved by reason of being the tax matters partner unless the tax matters partner acted in bad faith or with gross negligence. The indemnification provided hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any applicable statute, agreement, vote of Partners, or otherwise.

10.4 EFFECT OF TRANSFER WITHOUT APPROVAL . Any purported Transfer of all or any part of a Member’s Membership Interest, or any interest therein, which is not in compliance with this Article 10 shall be void and, except as provided for in Section 10.5, below, shall be of no effect.

10.5 LIABILITY FOR BREACH . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 10, any Member purporting to Transfer its Membership Interest, or any part thereof, in violation of this Article 10 shall be liable to the Company and the other Members for all liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising as a direct or consequential result of such non-complying transfer, attempted transfer or purported transfer, including specifically, any additional cost or taxes created by non-compliance with any of the requirements and conditions provided for in Section 10.2.

10.6 PERMITTED TRANSFERS SUBJECT TO RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL .

(a) At any time the Class C Member(s) or the Class P Member(s) (a “Transferring Class”) may Transfer not less than all of their respective Class Membership Interest to a Person for cash, subject to the Right of First Refusal provided for in this Section 10.6 and the last sentence of Section 10.2.

(b) In the event that any Transferring Class has received a bona fide written cash offer, which such Transferring Class is willing to accept, for the Transferring Class to sell not less than all of its respective Class Membership Interest (the “Transferred Interest”) to any Person, the Transferring Class shall deliver a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to all of the Members, other than the Members in the Transferring Class (the “Non-Transferring Class”), stating the Transferring Class’s intent to sell the Transferred Interest pursuant to a bona fide cash

 

38


offer. The Transfer Notice shall (i) specify the purchase price for and other material terms with respect to the sale of the Transferred Interest, (ii) identify the proposed purchaser of the Transferred Interest, (iii) specify the date scheduled for the transfer (which date shall not be earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the Transfer Notice is delivered), (iv) contain a statement that the offer has been accepted pending compliance with the right of first refusal set forth herein and receipt of required regulatory and other approvals, and (v) shall have attached thereto a copy of the written offer containing all of the terms and conditions on which the Transferred Interest is to be sold.

(c) The Non-Transferring Class shall have the exclusive option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Transferred Interest on terms and conditions substantially the same in all material respects as, and at the same price, set forth in the written offer delivered pursuant to subsection (b) above. The Non-Transferring Class shall notify the Company and the Transferring Class of its intention to exercise or not to exercise the right of first refusal hereunder within forty-five (45) days of receipt by the Non-Transferring Class of a Transfer Notice.

(d) In the event that the Non-Transferring Class shall have duly elected to purchase the Transferred Interest (the “Electing Class”), the Electing Class and the Transferring Class shall diligently pursue obtaining all regulatory approvals and use best commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the closing of the purchase of the Transferred Interest as soon as practicable and in any event within one year from receipt of the Transfer Notice; provided that, if such closing does not occur within such one-year period due to the failure to obtain any required regulatory approvals, the Electing Class’s right to close such sale may be extended at the option of the Electing Class, until such regulatory approvals are obtained, but in no event for a period of greater than one additional year. In the event of a failure of the Non-Transferring Class to elect to purchase all of the Transferred Interest or a failure of the Electing Class to consummate such purchase in accordance herewith, the Transferring Class will be free, at any time within 120 days from the date the Non-Transferring Class elect not to exercise their purchase rights hereunder or from the date the time periods specified in this section for such election have expired, subject, in each case, to extension for up to an additional eight (8) months to the extent necessary to achieve any required regulatory approvals, to consummate the sale of the Transferred Interest to the purchaser at a price and upon terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchaser than those specified in the Transfer Notice; provided that the purchaser shall assume all of the liabilities and obligations of the Transferring Class under this Agreement by a binding written instrument which shall be enforceable by the Company and the Non-Transferring Class.

(e) A Transferring Class shall not be relieved of any of its obligations arising under this Agreement prior to such Transfer. The Transferring Class and any transferee shall execute such documents as the Non-Transferring Class shall reasonably request to evidence the Transfer and the assumption and continuing obligations under this Agreement.

39


include provisions to protect competitively sensitive information. Each Member shall cooperate with, and shall not oppose, the closing of any Transfer which is in Compliance with this Section 10.6.

10.7 PERMITTED TRANSFERS AMONG WHOLLY-OWNED AFFILIATES . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Member may Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest to a Wholly-Owned Affiliate of such Member, and such Transfer shall be deemed automatically approved by the Board of Directors; provided, however , that such Transfer otherwise meets the conditions and requirements of Sections 10.2 and 10.3.

10.8 TRANSFERS OF EQUITY INTERESTS IN A MEMBER . A sale, assignment, transfer or hypothecation of any direct or indirect equity interest in a Member by a Parent of such Member shall be deemed to be a Transfer by that Member of its Membership Interest in the Company for purposes of this Article 10 and shall not be permitted except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 10. Chevron and Phillips 66 shall comply with this Section 10.8 and shall take all necessary action to cause their Affiliates to comply with this Section 10.8. For the purpose of clarification of this Section 10.8, a Change of Control of the Ultimate Parent of any Member shall not be considered a Transfer of such Member’s Membership Interest or a Transfer of the equity interest in such Member pursuant to this and the foregoing sections of this Article 10; provided, that a Change of Control of Phillips 66 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.10 hereof.

10.9 CREDIT RATINGS BUY-OUT OPTION .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any of the Members of one class or the Ultimate Parent of any of the Members of one class (the Member(s) of such class, the “Downgraded Members”) concurrently have both an S&P Triggering Credit Rating and a Moody’s Triggering Credit Rating (a “Credit Rating Event”), the Member(s) of the other class (the “Buy-Out Members”) may, by delivering written notice (a “Valuation Notice”) to the Downgraded Members following such Credit Rating Event in accordance with Section 10.9(b) below, require that the Members determine the Fair Market Value of the Membership Interests of the Downgraded Members in accordance with Section 10.9(c) below. The Downgraded Members each agree to give written notice to the Buy-Out Members within five (5) days of any Credit Rating Event.

(b) Upon the first occurrence of a Credit Rating Event for the Downgraded Members (an “Initial Credit Rating Event”), the Buy-Out Members shall not be entitled to deliver a Valuation Notice unless a Downgraded Member or its Ultimate Parent has had either an S&P Triggering Credit Rating or a Moody’s Triggering Credit Rating continuously for three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the beginning of the Initial Credit Rating Event (the “Initial Cure Period”). If each Downgraded Member and each Downgraded Member’s Ultimate Parent no longer has an S&P Triggering Credit Rating and no longer has a Moody’s Triggering Credit Rating after an Initial Credit Rating Event (a “Cure Event”), and another Credit Rating Event occurs with respect to any such Downgraded Member or any such Downgraded Member’s Ultimate Parent within twenty-four (24) months following the date of the most recent Cure Event

 

40


(a “Subsequent Credit Rating Event”), the Buy-Out Members shall not be entitled to deliver a Valuation Notice hereunder unless a Downgraded Member or its Ultimate Parent has had either an S&P Triggering Credit Rating or a Moody’s Triggering Credit Rating continuously for the following number of days following such Subsequent Credit Rating Event: (i) three hundred sixty-five (365) days minus the sum of (ii) the number of days between the beginning of an Initial Credit Rating Event and the Cure Event associated with such Initial Credit Rating Event and (iii) the number of days between the beginning of each other Subsequent Credit Rating Event and the Cure Event associated with each such other Subsequent Credit Rating Event (a “Subsequent Cure Period”); provided, however, that if at least twenty-four (24) months elapse after a Cure Event and before the next Credit Rating Event, such Credit Rating Event will be deemed to be an Initial Credit Rating Event hereunder; provided further, however, that if no Cure Event occurs during the Initial Cure Period (including the Initial Cure Period following a Credit Rating Event deemed an Initial Credit Rating Event hereunder) or during any Subsequent Cure Period, as applicable, with respect to a Credit Rating Event (such Credit Rating Event, a “Uncured Credit Rating Event”), the Buy-Out Members may deliver a Valuation Notice at any time within ninety (90) days following the expiration of any such period. For the avoidance of doubt, after the occurrence of an Uncured Credit Rating Event for the Downgraded Members, the Buy-Out Members may deliver a Valuation Notice at any time within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of a Subsequent Credit Rating Event with respect to such Downgraded Members (other than (x) during the time the Fair Market Value is being determined pursuant to Section 10.9(c), (y) during the Buy-Out Interest Option Period or (z) after the exercise of the Buy-Out Interest Option, unless such exercise is terminated by the Purchaser (as defined below) in accordance with Section 10.11(a), in each case of (x), (y) and (z), due to a previously delivered Valuation Notice by the Buy-Out Members); provided, however, that if at least twenty-four (24) months elapse after the Cure Event associated with the Uncured Credit Rating Event and before the next Credit Rating Event, such Credit Rating Event will be deemed to be an Initial Credit Rating Event hereunder.

(c) The “Fair Market Value” of the relevant Membership Interests shall be:

(i) the amount agreed between the Class C Member and Phillips 66 after negotiating in good faith for no more than thirty (30) days after notice having been served requiring that the Members determine the Fair Market Value of the relevant Membership Interests in accordance with Sections 10.9(a) and 10.9(b) or Section 10.10(a) hereof, as the case may be; or

(ii) in the event that the Class C Member and Phillips 66 are unable to agree on the Fair Market Value of the relevant Membership Interests within such period, each shall appoint, within ten (10) days following the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referred to in Section 10.9(c)(i), a nationally recognized investment bank to act for the appointing party to determine the fair market value of the relevant Membership Interests as promptly as possible and in any event within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the above mentioned ten (10) day period. In the event the Class C Member or Phillips 66 fails to timely appoint

 

41


such an investment bank, the party that has timely appointed such an investment bank shall be entitled, at such party’s option, either (A) to have the investment bank it appointed determine the fair market value of the relevant Membership Interests, which determination shall be final and binding on the Members or (B) to petition the Delaware Court of Chancery to have the Chancellor of such court (or his designee) promptly appoint a second such investment bank. Each investment bank appointed pursuant to this Section 10.9(c) shall be instructed to determine the fair market value of the relevant Membership Interests by determining the value of fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Membership Interests of the Class C Member and Class P Members, without a control premium and with valuation premised on a sale in an arm’s length transaction where neither the seller nor the buyer is under compulsion to consummate the sale. If the lower of the two values determined by the two investment banks is no more than 10% lower than the greater value, then the Fair Market Value of the relevant Membership Interests shall be the average of the two values. If the lower value is more than 10% lower than the greater value, then the Class C Member and Phillips 66 shall direct the two (2) investment banks to promptly (and not later than ten (10) days following the delivery of the last of the two (2) valuations prepared by such investment banks) appoint a third nationally recognized investment bank to determine the fair market value of the relevant Membership Interests. In the event the two (2) investment banks fail to timely appoint such a third investment bank, either the Class C Member or Phillips 66 shall be entitled to petition the Delaware Court of Chancery to have the Chancellor of such court (or his designee) promptly appoint a third such investment bank. If the value determined by such third investment bank is within the range of the first two values, then the fair market value of the relevant Membership Interests as determined by such third investment bank shall be the Fair Market Value of the relevant Membership Interests. If the value determined by such third investment bank is outside the range of the first two values, then the Fair Market Value of the relevant Membership Interests shall be the median of the three values. Each of the Class C Member and Phillips 66 shall pay the costs and fees for the investment bank it appoints and the costs and fees of the third investment bank, if any, shall be shared equally between the Class C Member and Phillips 66.

(iii) The above-described determination of Fair Market Value of the relevant Membership Interests of the Company will be final and binding on the Members.

(d) The Buy-Out Members shall have the option, but not the obligation (the “Buy-Out Interest Option”), to purchase from the Downgraded Members, and to require each Downgraded Member to sell to the Buy-Out Members, all (but not less than all) of each Downgraded Member’s Membership Interest (the “Buy-Out Interests”) for a purchase price (the “Buy-Out Purchase Price”) equal to the Fair Market Value of each such Downgraded Member’s Membership Interest (as finally determined pursuant to Section 10.9(c)). The Buy-Out Interest Option must be exercised with respect to all of the Downgraded Members. The Buy-Out Interest

 

42


Option shall be exercisable by the Buy-Out Members, in their sole discretion and at their sole option, by delivering written notice (which written notice shall be irrevocable except as provided in Section 10.11(a)) to each of the Downgraded Members at any time during the period commencing on the date on which the Fair Market Value of the Membership Interests of the Downgraded Members is finally determined pursuant to Section 10.9(c) and ending sixty (60) days after such date (the “Buy-Out Interest Option Period”). Such written notice shall obligate each Downgraded Member to sell and the Buy-Out Members to purchase the Buy-Out Interests as herein provided. The failure of the Buy-Out Members to deliver the written notice during a given Buy-Out Interest Option Period (or the delivery of a written notice by the Buy-Out Members declining to exercise the Buy-Out Interest Option) shall result in the termination of the Buy-Out Interest Option with respect to such Buy-Out Interest Option Period, and any subsequent exercise of the Buy-Out Interest Option by the Buy-Out Members after such termination shall require the delivery of a new Valuation Notice to the Downgraded Members with respect to a different Credit Rating Event in accordance with Section 10.9(b).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Member shall be entitled to deliver a Valuation Notice or exercise a Buy-Out Interest Option if (i) a Credit Rating Event has occurred with respect to (A) such Member, (B) any Member of the same class as such Member, (C) the Ultimate Parent of such Member or (D) the Ultimate Parent of any Member of the same class as such Member and (ii) no Cure Event has occurred with respect to such Credit Rating Event.

(f) The Buy-Out Members shall be entitled, in the Buy-Out Members’ sole discretion, to assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations to the Buy-Out Interest Option to any of their Affiliates and to any third party. Such assignment may be made by the Buy-Out Members at any time prior to the consummation of the Transfer of the Buy-Out Interests hereunder.

10.10 BUY-OUT OPTION UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL .

(a) If there is a Change of Control of Phillips 66, within ten (10) days of such Change of Control Phillips 66 shall deliver a written notice (a “Change of Control Notice”) to the Class C Member. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if there occurs a Change of Control of Phillips 66, the Class C Member may, by delivering written notice to Phillips 66 at any time after the occurrence of the Change of Control of Phillips 66 but no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Change of Control Notice, require that the Members determine the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Membership Interests of the Class P Members in accordance with Section 10.9(c) above.

(b) If the Class C Member delivers its written notice in accordance with Section 10.10(a), the Class C Member shall have the option, but not the obligation (the “Change of Control Option”), to purchase such aggregate Membership Interests, and to require the sale of such aggregate Membership Interests by the Class P Members (the “Change of Control Interests”), for a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to the Fair Market Value of the Change of Control Interests (as finally determined pursuant to Section

 

43


10.9(c)). The Change of Control Option must be exercised with respect to all of the Class P Members. The Change of Control Option shall be exercisable by the Class C Member, in its sole discretion and at its sole option, by delivering written notice (which written notice shall be irrevocable except as provided in Section 10.11(a)) to each of the Class P Members at any time during the period commencing on the date on which the Fair Market Value of the Membership Interests of the Class P Members is finally determined pursuant to Section 10.9(c) and ending sixty (60) days after such date (the “Change of Control Option Period”). Such written notice shall obligate each Class P Member to sell and the Class C Member to purchase the Change of Control Interests as herein provided. The failure of the Class C Member to deliver the written notice during a given Change of Control Option Period (or the delivery of a written notice by the Class C Member declining to exercise the Change of Control Option) shall result in the termination of the Change of Control Option with respect to such Change of Control Option Period.

(c) The Class C Member shall be entitled, in the Class C Member’s sole discretion, to assign all or a portion of its right and obligations to the Change of Control Option to any of its Affiliates and to any third party. Such assignment may be made by the Class C Member at any time prior to the consummation of the Transfer of the Change of Control Interests hereunder.

10.11 CLOSING OF BUY-OUT OPTION EXERCISES.

(a) The closing of the sale and purchase of Membership Interests pursuant to the Change of Control Option or pursuant to the Buy-Out Interest Option shall take place at the offices of the Purchaser’s counsel ninety (90) days after, as applicable, (i) the date of the exercise of the Buy-Out Interest Option or (ii) the date of the exercise of the Change of Control Option; provided, that the closing shall in no event occur earlier than five (5) days after receipt of all approvals required from, and expiration of all waiting periods (including waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended) imposed by, any governmental authorities in connection with the purchase and sale. At closing, (w) each Member selling its Membership Interest (the “Seller Member”) shall represent and warrant to each Member (or its assignee(s)) purchasing such Membership Interest (the “Purchaser”) that the Purchaser is receiving good and marketable legal and beneficial title to such Seller Member’s Membership Interest, free and clear of any liens (other than restrictions imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, applicable state securities laws, and this Agreement), which representations and warranties shall be the sole representations and warranties required of such Seller Member, (x) the Purchaser shall assume, and cause the release of each Seller Member from, each on-going obligation of such Seller Member under this Agreement and in respect of the Company and its business, including all obligations under guarantees issued by such Seller Member, in each case arising after the closing of the sale and purchase of such Membership Interest, (y) each Seller Member shall deliver resignations from those Voting Directors the Seller Member has elected to the Board of Directors, and (z) the Purchaser shall deliver to each of the Seller Member(s) an amount equal to either the applicable Buy-Out Purchase Price (in the case of the purchase of the Membership Interest pursuant to the Buy-Out Interest Option) or the applicable Change of Control Purchase Price (in the case of the purchase of the Membership Interest pursuant to the Change of Control Option) in immediately available funds; provided that

 

44


nothing in the foregoing clause (x) shall relieve any Seller Member of any of its obligations pursuant to the Contribution Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.11, if a governmental authority whose approval is required to consummate the purchase of the Membership Interest fails to approve such transaction or imposes a condition on its approval that, in the sole discretion of the Purchaser, would make the purchase by it of the Membership Interest pursuant to the Buy-Out Interest Option or pursuant to the Change of Control Option impractical or not otherwise in the best interests of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser may terminate the exercise of the applicable option and the purchase of the Membership Interest by and upon delivery of written notice to the Seller Member and, upon such termination, no Member shall have any further obligation under this Section 10.11 with respect thereto and each such Seller Member shall continue to own its Membership Interest.

(b) The Members shall take all necessary actions required to give effect to the provisions of Section 10.9, Section 10.10 and Section 10.11, including (i) the passing of such Member and Board of Directors resolutions of the Company as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the relevant transaction, and (ii) the filing of all necessary notices to and requests for consent of any governmental authorities, and the Members shall equally share any filing fees required in connection therewith.

(c) If requested in writing by the Purchaser, the Company and the Members hereby agree to cooperate with Purchaser to structure, in a manner reasonably requested by Purchaser (with the Purchaser to bear the incremental cost, if any, of such request), the Transfer pursuant to the exercise of the Buy-Out Interest Option or the Change of Control Option so as not to effect a termination of the Company under section 708 of the Code.

ARTICLE 11

COMPETITION

11.1 GENERAL . The Members expect that the Company shall be the primary vehicle by which each of the Members (together with their Affiliates) engage in the Chemicals Business. If a majority in interest of the Members of one class (the “Non-Competing Class”) concludes in good faith that the Company is no longer the primary vehicle by which the Members of the other class (together with its Affiliates) (the “Competing Class”) is engaged in the Chemicals Business, then the Non-Competing Class shall have the right to send written notice of such good faith conclusion (“Conflict Notice”) to the Competing Class. Upon receipt of the Conflict Notice, the Competing Class shall enter into good faith negotiations with the Non-Competing Class to resolve any or all substantial conflicts of interest resulting from the ownership of businesses competing with the businesses of the Company.

 

45


11.2 RESOLUTION OF COMPETITIVE CONFLICTS .

(a) In the event that:

(i) A Non-Competing Class exercises its right to require a Competing Class to engage in good faith negotiations pursuant to Section 11.1;

(ii) The Non-Competing Class and Competing Class are unable to resolve the conflicts of interest within 150 days of the delivery of the Conflict Notice; and

(iii) The value (in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank selected by the Board of Directors) of the Competing Class’s (including its Affiliates’) interests in businesses competing with the businesses of the Company exceeds 50% of the enterprise value of the Company; provided that if the Board of Directors does not select such a nationally recognized investment bank within 30 days of the end of the 150 day period set forth in (ii) above, such value shall be determined by nationally recognized investment banks selected by the process set forth in Section 10.9(c)(ii), mutatis mutandis (including, if necessary, the appointment of a third investment bank to determine such value, if necessary, and without regard to the sentence beginning “Each investment bank…”);

then, in such case, the Non-Competing Class shall have the right, within 30 days from the later of (x) the expiration of the period in (ii) above or (y) the determination in (iii) above, to state a single cash price at which it is prepared to purchase the Class Membership Interest of the Competing Class, which will constitute a binding offer to purchase (the “Initial Offer”). In the event of an Initial Offer, the Competing Class shall have 60 days to decide either to accept the Initial Offer or to make a counter-offer by stating a single cash price, which is at least 5% higher than the Initial Offer, at which it is prepared to purchase the Class Membership Interest of the Non-Competing Class (a “Counter-Offer”). In the event of a Counter-Offer, the Non-Competing Class shall have 30 days to decide either to accept the Counter-Offer or to make another offer by stating a single cash price, which is at least 5% higher than the Counter-Offer, at which it is prepared to purchase the Class Membership Interest of the Competing Class (a “Subsequent Offer”). In the event of a Subsequent Offer by the Non-Competing Class, the Competing Class shall have 30 days to decide either to accept the Subsequent Offer or to make another counter- offer by stating a single cash price, which is at least 5% higher than the Subsequent Offer, at which it is prepared to purchase the Class Membership Interest of the Non-Competing Class. The offering process described in this paragraph shall continue in this manner until a price is reached at which either the Competing Class or the Non-Competing Class is willing to sell its Class Membership Interest to the other class. If such a price is reached, the closing of the sale and purchase of the Membership Interests pursuant to this Article 11 shall be conducted in accordance with the terms of Sections 10.11(a), (b) and (c), mutatis mutandis . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, a Member may also sell its Class Membership Interest pursuant to the right of first refusal provisions set forth in Section 10.6.

 

46


(b) In the event that a Non-Competing Class has concluded in good faith that the Company is no longer the primary vehicle by which a Competing Class is engaged in the Chemicals Business in accordance with Section 11.1, and:

(i) a sale pursuant to subsection (a) above is not concluded (whether or not the condition expressed in subsection (a)(iii) above is satisfied); and

(ii) the Competing Class and Non-Competing Class have not been able to resolve, pursuant to Section 11.1 above, all substantial conflicts of interest resulting from the ownership by the Competing Class of a substantial business competing with the businesses of the Company;

then either the Competing Class or the Non-Competing Class may require the other class from time to time to enter into good faith negotiations to cause the Company (and/or the Members) to adopt such reasonable, mutually acceptable provisions as would mitigate the potential adverse consequences of the conflicts of interests on the continuing businesses of the Company. Such provisions could include, for example, restrictions on the dissemination and use of confidential information, greater delegation of authority to management of the Company, or modification of distribution requirements or the non-involvement of the Competing Class in business decisions of the Company potentially affecting such competing businesses.

The assumption or guarantee in good faith by one or more financially responsible persons shall be deemed to be an adequate means of providing for such obligations and liabilities. When the liquidator has determined that there can be a final accounting, the liquidator shall establish a date (not to be later than the end of the taxable year of the liquidation, i.e., the time at which the Company ceases to be a going concern as provided in section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) of the Income Tax Regulations, or, if later, ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation) for the distribution of the proceeds of liquidation of the Company (the “Distribution Date”).

If any excess funds remain in such reserves at the end of such reasonable time, then such remaining funds shall be distributed by the Company to the Members pursuant to Section 12.6 hereof.

12.6 DISTRIBUTION OF PROCEEDS .

12.7 CERTIFICATE OF CANCELLATION . Upon dissolution and liquidation of the Company, the liquidator shall cause to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a certificate of cancellation in accordance with section 18-203 of the Act.

ARTICLE 13

INDEMNIFICATION

13.1 INDEMNIFICATION: PROCEEDING OTHER THAN BY COMPANY . The Company 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, except an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, Member or officer of the Company (and may similarly indemnify employees or agents of the Company), or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, member, director, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his 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, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

13.2 INDEMNIFICATION: PROCEEDING BY COMPANY .

(a) The Company 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 or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer of the Company (and may similarly indemnify employees or agents of the Company), or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, member, director, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

  (iii) Include in Compensation the value of any special award specified by the Committee under the terms of the special award to be included for compensation purposes under Title IV in the calendar month and year in which any applicable restrictions on the award lapse or, if deferred, in the calendar month and year in which any applicable restrictions would have lapsed absent an election to defer.

 

  (iv) Disregard the limitation on compensation related to Code section 401(a)(17).

 

  (v) Disregard the limitation on benefits related to Code section 415.

 

  (f) Each of the components of the accrued benefit under this Plan (the Title I-related accrued benefit, the Title II-related accrued benefit, the Title III-related accrued benefit, and the Title IV-related accrued benefit) shall be expressed as a straight life annuity starting at the age that is the normal retirement age under the applicable title of the Retirement Plan in accordance with the following rules:

 

  (i) If the annuity starting date for the relevant Retirement Plan benefit occurs on or before the required commencement date under this Plan, the Title I-related accrued benefit, the Title II-related accrued benefit, the Title III-related accrued benefit, or the Title IV-related accrued benefit, as is applicable, shall first be calculated as of the Retirement Plan annuity starting date related to that component benefit and then shall be converted actuarially to a straight life annuity payable at age 65 applying actuarial assumptions that are consistent with the relevant Title of the Retirement Plan. The component accrued benefit so calculated shall not be increased or decreased based on subsequent events.

 

10


  (ii) If the annuity starting date for the relevant Retirement Plan benefit has not occurred on or before the required commencement date under this Plan, the Title I-related accrued benefit, the Title II-related accrued benefit, the Title III-related accrued benefit, or the Title IV-related accrued benefit, as is applicable, shall be calculated as if the relevant Retirement Plan benefit had an annuity starting date and a form of payment that is the same as the required commencement date and form of payment under this Plan. The resulting component benefit shall then be converted actuarially to an equivalent straight life annuity starting at age 65, and the component accrued benefit so calculated shall be the component accrued benefit under this Plan and shall not be increased or decreased based on subsequent events.

 

  (g) The component accrued benefit described in subsection (f) above shall be converted to the actual benefit paid under this Plan applying the methodology specified in the applicable title of the Retirement Plan. For this purpose, the terms of the applicable title of the Retirement Plan are those in effect as of the annuity starting date used in this Plan. If the applicable title of the Retirement Plan does not provide a methodology, a reasonable methodology, as determined by the Plan Administrator, shall be used.

SECTION III. DEATH BENEFIT

If an Employee dies prior to the date his accrued benefit under this Plan would otherwise commence, this Plan shall provide a death benefit if the applicable title of the Retirement Plan provides a death benefit under that circumstance. Any death benefit under this Plan shall be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the first calendar month after death. If there is a delay in payment of the lump sum, regardless of the reason, the Plan shall not make an adjustment to

 

11


reflect the time value of money. Except as described in the preceding sentence, the death benefit shall be the present value of the Employee’s entire accrued benefit under this Plan payable in accordance with the following rules:

 

  (a) The present value shall be paid to the Employee’s named primary Beneficiary or beneficiaries or, if applicable, to the Employee’s named contingent beneficiary or beneficiaries if the beneficiary or beneficiaries were named in a manner acceptable to the Plan Administrator.

 

  (b) If the Employee had not, prior to his death, named any beneficiary in a manner acceptable to the Plan Administrator, the present value shall be paid to the Employee’s estate.

 

  (c) The present value shall be paid in a lump sum and shall be calculated using the first of the month after death as the annuity starting date and applying the rules described in Section II(f) and (g) of this Plan for determining the amount to be paid.

 

  (d) If a beneficiary makes a “qualified disclaimer” as that term is defined in Section 2518 of the Code, and the Plan Administrator receives a copy of the disclaimer within 9 months after the employee’s death and before payment of the death benefit under this Plan, at the place designated by the Plan Administrator, the Plan will be administered as if the disclaiming beneficiary had died before the Employee.

 

12


SECTION IV. Special Provision for former ARCO Alaska Employees.

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, in order to comply with the terms of the Master Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Sale Agreement”) by which the ConocoPhillips Company acquired certain Alaskan assets of Atlantic Richfield Company, Inc. (“ARCO”), the following supplemental payments will be made:

 

(a) The payments which would have been received under Article XXIV – ARCO Flight Crew of Title I of the Retirement Plan for those who were classified as an Aviation Manager, Chief Pilot, Assistant Chief Pilot, Captain or Reserve Captain as of July 31, 2000 if they had been eligible for those benefits under Title I of the Retirement Plan, except that if they receive a limited social security makeup benefit from Title I of the Retirement Plan it will be offset from the benefit payable from the Plan.

 

(b) A final ARCO Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) benefit will be calculated at the earlier of the time an Employee who had an ARCO SERP benefit terminates employment or, 2 years following the ARCO/BP Amoco p.l.c. merger, April 17, 2002 (“calculation date”). The SERP benefit attributable to service through July 31, 2000 shall be paid by BP Amoco p.l.c. and the difference shall be paid by this Plan. The SERP calculation will be done as if the Employee had continued to participate in the Atlantic Richfield Retirement Plan and SERP up to the calculation date. The ARCO Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) amount used will be:

 

  (i) If the Employee terminates employment involuntarily prior to April 17, 2002, the highest of the actual AIP in the last 3 years including the AIP target payment amount for years after 1999 or the payment received under Phillips Annual Incentive Compensation Plan.

 

  (ii) If the Employee terminates employment voluntarily prior to April 17, 2002, or if the calculation is made as of April 17, 2002, then the AIP will include the highest 3 year average using the highest of the actual AIP, the AIP target payment amount for years after 1999, or the payment received under Phillips Annual Incentive Compensation Plan. Any benefit paid by this Plan under this Section IV(b)(ii) and the SERP benefit paid by BP Amoco p.l.c. shall offset the benefit payable from this Plan.

 

13


SECTION V. Payment of Benefits .

The benefit under this Plan shall be calculated and paid as follows:

 

(a) Commencement — Unless the accrued benefit has been or will be paid on account of the Employee’s death as described in Section III, the present value of the Employee’s accrued benefit shall be paid in a lump sum on the later of: the Employee’s Plan-age 55 or the first day of the seventh calendar month after the Employee’s Separation from Service; but in no event earlier than November 1, 2006.

 

(b) Annuity Starting Date for calculating the present value:

 

  (i) If the applicable commencement date for a Title I-related or a Title IV-related accrued benefit is the first day of the seventh calendar month after Separation from Service, the annuity starting date used in calculating the present value shall be the later of: the Employee’s Plan-age 55 or the first day of the first calendar month after the Employee’s Separation from Service; and the Plan shall pay interest from the annuity starting date to the commencement date at the 6 month T-Bill rate (as determined by the Plan Administrator) in effect on the annuity starting date. If the applicable commencement date for a Title-II-related accrued benefit is the first day of the seventh calendar month after Separation from Service, the annuity starting date shall be the same as the commencement date.

 

  (ii)

Except as provided in the second sentence of this subsection (b)(ii), if the applicable commencement date is the Employee’s Plan-age 55 or November 1, 2006, the annuity starting date used in calculating the present value shall be the

 

14


  same as the commencement date. Provided, however, in the case of an Employee whose Separation from Service is in 2006 and whose commencement date under this Plan is November 1, 2006, the annuity starting date used in calculating the present value shall be the later of: the Employee’s Plan-age 55 or the first day of the first calendar month after the Employee’s Separation from Service; and the Plan shall pay simple interest from the annuity starting date to November 1, 2006, at the 6 month T-Bill rate (as determined by the Plan Administrator) in effect on the annuity starting date.

 

  (iii) Except as specifically provided in subsections (b)(i) and (ii), the Plan shall not make an adjustment of the benefit to reflect the time value of money if there is delay in paying the benefit for any reason.

SECTION VI. Method of Providing Benefits .

All amounts payable under this Plan shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company and any rights accruing to an eligible Employee or beneficiary under the Plan shall be those of a general creditor; provided, however, that the Company may establish a grantor trust to satisfy part or all of its Plan payment obligations so long as the Plan remains an unfunded excess benefit plan and or an unfunded benefit plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

SECTION VII. Nonassignability .

The right of an Employee, or beneficiary, or other person who becomes entitled to receive payments under this Plan, shall not be assignable or subject to garnishment, attachment or any other legal process by the creditors of, or other claimants against, the Employee, beneficiary, or other such person.

 

15


SECTION VIII. Administration .

 

(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may adopt such rules, regulations and forms as deemed desirable for administration of the Plan and shall have the discretionary authority to allocate responsibilities under the Plan to such other persons as may be designated.

 

(b) Any claim for benefits hereunder shall be presented in writing to the Plan Administrator for consideration, grant or denial. In the event that a claim is denied in whole or in part by the Plan Administrator, the claimant, within ninety days of receipt of said claim by the Plan Administrator, shall receive written notice of denial.

Any person filing an appeal from the denial of a claim must do so in writing within sixty days after receipt of

 

16


  written notice of denial. The Trustee shall render a decision regarding the claim within sixty days after receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered within a reasonable time, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review. The decision of the Trustee shall be in writing and, in the case of the denial of a claim in whole or in part, shall set forth the same information as is required in an initial notice of denial by the Plan Administrator, other than an explanation of this claims review procedure. The Trustee shall have absolute discretion in carrying out its responsibilities to make its decision of an appeal, including the authority to interpret and construe the terms hereunder, and all interpretations, findings of fact, and the decision of the Trustee regarding the appeal shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

 

(d) Compliance with the procedures described in paragraphs (b) and (c) shall be a condition precedent to the filing of any action to obtain any benefit or enforce any right which any individual may claim hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, these paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) may not be amended without the written consent of a seventy-five percent (75%) majority of Participants and Beneficiaries and such paragraphs shall survive the termination of this Plan until all benefits accrued hereunder have been paid.

SECTION IX. Employment Not Affected by Plan .

Participation or nonparticipation in this Plan shall neither adversely affect any person’s employment status, or confer any special rights on any person other than those expressly stated in the Plan.

1. The Select New Hire will, effective on the first day of employment with the Controlled Group, become a Participant in the Phillips 66 Key Employee Supplemental Retirement Plan. In addition to the benefits provided under the Plan, the Select New Hire will be eligible for a further benefit (the “Further Benefit”), calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Appendix.

2. Further Benefit shall mean the difference between the Putative Title I Benefit and the Offsetting Benefits, both as described below. In determining the Further Benefit, paragraphs (f) and (g) of the Plan shall apply.

3. The Putative Title I Benefit shall mean the sum of (i), (ii), and (iii) below:

 

  (i) The difference between the Select New Hire’s total accrued benefit under Title I and his actual accrued benefit under Title I. For this purpose, a Select New Hire’s total accrued benefit under Title I is the accrued benefit he would have if his accrued benefit under Title I were determined under the terms of Title I but with the following modifications:

 

  (aa) Include in Annual Earnings an award under the Incentive Compensation Plan which the Select New Hire deferred under the terms of KEDCP. Include such award in the calendar year in which the award would have been paid to the Select New Hire if it had not been deferred.

 

20


  (bb) Include in Annual Earnings salary that would have been paid to the Select New Hire but for the fact that he voluntarily elected to defer receipt of that salary under the terms of KEDCP. Include the deferred salary in Annual Earnings in the calendar year in which the salary would have been paid had it not been deferred.

 

  (cc) Include in Annual Earnings the initial value of a restricted stock or restricted stock unit award under the Incentive Compensation Plan. Include that value in Annual Earnings in the calendar year in which the award was granted.

 

  (dd) Include in Annual Earnings the value of any special award specified by the Committee under the terms of the special award to be included for Annual Earnings purposes under Title I in the year in which any applicable restrictions on the award lapse or, if deferred, in the year in which any applicable restrictions would have lapsed absent an election to defer.

 

  (ee) Disregard the limitations on compensation related to Code section 401(a)(17).

 

  (ff) Disregard the limitation on benefits related to Code section 415.

 

  (gg) If the Select New Hire is eligible to receive benefits under the Phillips 66 Executive Severance Plan or under the Phillips 66 Key Employee Change in Control Severance Plan, include in Annual Earnings an amount determined by dividing the Select New Hire’s Salary by 4.3333 times the number of weeks or partial weeks from the date the Select New Hire’s employment ends with the Employer to the end of that calendar year. Provided, however, this subsection (gg) shall be disregarded to the extent the benefit created solely by operation of this subsection (gg) is provided under the terms of Title 1.

 

21


  (hh) Determine service credited for purposes of benefit accrual as if the Select New Hire had originally been employed by the Controlled Group on the date that the Select New Hire began employment with the company with which the Select New Hire was employed immediately prior to becoming employed by the Controlled Group.

 

  (ii) In the case of a Select New Hire who terminated employment on or after February 8, 1993, the Title I-related accrued benefit shall include an additional supplemental accrued benefit calculated under the terms of Title I, but disregarding the limitation on compensation that is taken into account, using as final average earnings the difference, if any, between the Total Final Average Earnings and the Final Average Earnings used in Title 1.

 

  (iii) The Title I-related accrued benefit shall also include any benefit provided under Section IV of this Plan.

4. The Offsetting Benefits shall mean any benefit, other than the Further Benefit, provided to the Select New Hire under a defined benefit plan of Phillips 66, including but not limited to the Phillips 66 Retirement Plan (and any successor plan) and the Phillips 66 Key Employee Supplemental Retirement Plan (and any successor plan), together with any benefit provided to the Select New Hire under a “defined benefit plan” (as defined in section 3(35) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA)), including any such plan regardless of whether it might also be considered an “excess benefit plan” as defined in

section 3(36) of ERISA, of the company by which the Select New Hire was employed immediately prior to becoming an employee of the Controlled Group. In determining the value of a benefit provided

 

22


by an employer which is not a member of the Controlled Group, the Plan Administrator may make any reasonable assumptions necessary and use such information as may be publicly available, provided by such employer, or provided by the Select New Hire, although it is within the discretion of the Plan Administrator to determine which such information and assumptions to use and to disregard any information which the Plan Administrator considers invalid, incomplete, or otherwise suspect.

5. Nothing in this Appendix is intended to affect the other operations or provisions of the Plan. If the Select New Hire is, under the provisions of the Plan, otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan, the Select New Hire will do so in accordance with those provisions.

Certain employees of ConocoPhillips Company and other subsidiaries of COP whose employment duties were primarily related to the business activities of Phillips 66 and its subsidiaries transferred employment to Phillips 66 Company or other subsidiaries of Phillips 66 as of the Effective Time. No Eligible Employee shall be treated as incurring a Severance or Separation from Service as a result of (i) the Distribution, (ii) the Eligible Employee’s transfer to the Controlled Group in connection with the Distribution, or (iii) the Eligible Employee’s transfer to ConocoPhillips Company or any other subsidiary of COP in connection with the Distribution.

The Plan is adopted for the benefit of certain employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. All capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 1 hereof. This Plan is intended to be a plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intention.

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS . As hereinafter used:

1.1 “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

1.2 “Cause” means (i) the willful and continued failure by the Eligible Employee to substantially perform the Eligible Employee’s duties with the Employer (other than any such failure resulting from the Eligible Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), or (ii) the willful engaging, not in good faith, by the Eligible Employee in conduct which is demonstrably injurious to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, monetarily or otherwise.

medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months, where such impairment causes the Employee to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a 29-month period of absence shall be substituted for the six-month period set forth in section 1.409A-1(h)(1)(i) of the regulations issued under section 409A of the Code, as allowed thereunder.

1.15 “Severance” means the termination of an Eligible Employee's employment with the Employer by the Employer other than for Cause. An Eligible Employee will not be considered to have incurred a Severance if his employment is discontinued by reason of the Eligible Employee’s death or a physical or mental condition causing such Eligible Employee’s inability to substantially perform his duties with the Employer and entitling him or her to benefits under any long-term sick pay or disability income policy or program of the Employer. Furthermore, an Eligible Employee will not be considered to have incurred a Severance if employment with the Employer is discontinued after the Eligible Employee has been offered employment with another employer that has purchased a Subsidiary or division of the Company or all or substantially all of the assets of an a Subsidiary or division of the Company and the offer of employment from the other employer is at the same or greater salary and the same or greater target bonus as the Eligible Employee has at that time from the Employer .

Present value shall be determined based on the assumptions utilized under the Phillips 66 Retirement Plan for purposes of determining contributions under Code Section 412 for the most recently completed plan year.

  (v) In the case of a Tier 1 Employee, an amount equal to the sum of 6 times the COBRA participant contribution rate, as of the Severance Date, for PPO medical coverage plus 6 times the COBRA participant contribution rate, as of the Severance Date, for dental coverage (using the Phillips 66 dental option coverage).

 

  (vi) If any persons qualified as eligible dependents of the Severed Employee under the applicable company-sponsored medical or dental coverage in which the Severed Employee was enrolled on the Severance Date, an amount equal to the sum of the differences, for each such eligible dependent, between the COBRA eligible dependent contribution rate and the eligible dependent contribution rate for eligible dependents of active employees, each as of the Severance Date, for the medical and/or dental coverage in which the Severed Employee was enrolled on the Severance Date, as applicable, times the factor set forth in the applicable Section 2.1(c)(i) or (ii), (c)(iii) or (iv), and (c)(v); provided, that if the Severed Employee was not enrolled for medical or dental coverage, then the eligibility and amount for each dependent shall be determined as if the Severed Employee had been enrolled in the PPO medical coverage or dental coverage (using the Phillips 66 dental option coverage), as applicable, on the Severance Date.

2.2 Subject to Section 2.7, Severance Pay (as well as any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof) shall be paid to an eligible Severed Employee in a cash lump sum on the first business day immediately following 10 days after the end of the period for executing and delivering the Severed Employee’s release, as set forth in Section 2.7.

2.3 Subject to Section 2.7, for a period of (a) 24 months, in the case of a Tier 1 Employee or (b) 18 months, in the case of a Tier 2 Employee, beginning the first of the month following the termination of active employee benefits, the Company shall arrange to provide the Severed Employee and his eligible dependents certain benefits, as enumerated below, similar to those the Severed Employee and his eligible dependents had immediately prior to the Severed Employee’s Severance Date. These benefits will be provided at no greater cost to the Severed Employee than active employee rates for the plan year of coverage provided the benefits continue to be offered by the Company to active employees and the Severed Employee and his eligible dependents meet the same eligibility criteria for the benefits as an active employee and dependents of an

active employee. Depending on coverages prior to the Severed Employee’s Severance Date, these benefits could include the following, but do not include any other benefits offered by the Company: Life Insurance, which includes Basic, Executive Basic, Supplemental, and Dependent Life; and Personal Accident Insurance. Severed employees may also continue Executive Life directly through the vendor to be paid for by the Severed Employee. Nothing herein shall prevent a Severed Employee or eligible dependents of a Severed Employee from electing to receive COBRA continuation coverage of health benefits subject to COBRA, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the law and the applicable plans. While as an active employee the Severed Employee may have been able to make employee contributions or pay premiums for certain coverage through a pre-tax salary reduction arrangement, that will not continue after the Severed Employee’s Severance Date. The cost of these benefits will not be adjusted to reflect that the Severed Employee’s cost will no longer be pre-tax. All other active employee benefits, not specifically mentioned above, are excluded, although if any of the benefits specifically mentioned above are replaced with a similar benefit after the Severed Employee’s Severance Date, such replacement benefits are to be considered as mentioned specifically above even though their names, terms, and conditions may have been changed. Such benefits shall not be provided (except to the extent as may be required by law) during any period when the Severed Employee is eligible to receive such benefits from another employer or from an Employer or if the Severed Employee has resumed working for an Employer. The Severed Employee is obligated to inform the Company when or if they become eligible to receive such benefits from another employer.

2.4 Each Severed Employee shall be entitled to receive the employee’s full salary through the Severance Date and, subject to Section 2.7 but notwithstanding any provision of the Company’s Variable Cash Incentive Program or similar annual bonus incentive plan to the contrary, shall be eligible for consideration for an award under such program or plan when awards are made with regard to the fiscal year under such program or plan in which the Severance Date occurred.

2.5 Each party to any dispute concerning this Plan shall be responsible for that party’s own legal fees and expenses; provided, however, that the arbitrator appointed pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Plan may award reasonable legal fees and expenses to an Eligible Employee if the arbitrator determines that the Company’s denial of the claim of the Eligible Employee was not reasonable.

2.6 The Company shall be entitled to withhold and/or to cause to be withheld from amounts to be paid to the Severed Employee hereunder any federal, state, or local withholding or other taxes or charges which it is from time to time required to withhold.

 

7


2.7 No Severed Employee shall be eligible to receive Severance Pay or other benefits under the Plan unless he or she first executes a written release substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (or, if the Severed Employee was not a United States employee, a similar release which is in accordance with the applicable laws in the relevant jurisdiction) and, to the extent such release is revocable by its terms, only if the Severed Employee does not revoke it, and unless he or she also, at the request of the Company, executes a written agreement not to compete with the Company, with such terms and conditions as may be proposed by the Company at the time. Such release and, if requested, such agreement not to compete must be executed and delivered to the Company within 30 days of the Employee’s Severance Date.

SECTION 3. PLAN ADMINISTRATION .

3.1 The Plan Administrator shall administer the Plan and may interpret the Plan, prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations under the Plan and make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, subject to the provisions of the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have absolute discretion and authority in carrying out its responsibilities, and all interpretations of the Plan, determinations of eligibility under the Plan, determinations to grant or deny benefits under the Plan, or findings of fact or resolutions related to the Plan and its administration that are made by the Plan Administrator shall be binding, final, and conclusive on all parties.

3.2 Claims Procedures . Any claim for benefits hereunder shall be presented in writing to the Plan Administrator for consideration, grant, or denial. Claimants will be notified in writing of approved claims, which will be processed as claimed. A claim is considered approved only if its approval is communicated in writing to a claimant.

 

  (a) In the case of a denial of a claim respecting benefits paid or payable with respect to a Participant, a written notice will be furnished to the claimant within 90 days of the date on which the claim is received by the Plan Administrator. If special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require a longer period, the claimant will be notified in writing, prior to the expiration of the 90-day period, of the reasons for an extension of time; provided, however, that no extensions will be permitted beyond 90 days after the expiration of the initial 90-day period. A denial or partial denial of a claim will be dated and signed by the Plan Administrator and will clearly set forth:

 

  (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

 

8


  (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

 

  (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

 

  (iv) an explanation of the procedure for review of the denied or partially denied claim set forth below.

 

  (b) Upon denial of a claim, in whole or in part, a claimant or his duly authorized representative will have the right to submit a written request to a committee of individuals established by the Board (the “Claims Committee”) for a full and fair review of the denied claim by filing a written notice of appeal with the Claims Committee within 60 days of the receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of the claim. A claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative will have, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits and may submit issues and comments in writing. The review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. If the claimant fails to file a request for review within 60 days of the denial notification, the claim will be deemed abandoned and the claimant precluded from reasserting it. If the claimant does file a request for review, his request must include a description of the issues and evidence he deems relevant. Failure to raise issues or present evidence on review will preclude those issues or evidence from being presented in any subsequent proceeding or judicial review of the claim.

 

  (c) The Claims Committee will provide a prompt written decision on review. If the claim is denied on review, the decision shall set forth:

 

  (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination;

 

  (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the adverse determination is based;

 

  (iii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and

 

9


  (iv) a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the claimant’s right to obtain the information about such procedures.

 

  (d) A decision will be rendered no more than 60 days after the Claims Committee’s receipt of the request for review, except that such period may be extended for an additional 60 days if the Claims Committee determines that special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require such extension. If an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the claimant before the end of the initial 60-day period.

 

  (e) To the extent permitted by law, decisions reached under the claims procedures set forth in this Section shall be final and binding on all parties. No legal action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the claimant has exhausted his remedies under this Section. In any such legal action, the claimant may only present evidence and theories which the claimant presented during the claims procedure. Any claims which the claimant does not in good faith pursue through the review stage of the procedure shall be treated as having been irrevocably waived. Judicial review of a claimant’s denied claim shall be limited to a determination of whether the denial was an abuse of discretion based on the evidence and theories the claimant presented during the claims procedure.

 

  (f) Except as provided in the preceding portion of this Section 3.2, all disputes under this Plan shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration in Houston, Texas, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction.

3.3 The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its duties hereunder to such person or persons from time to time as it may designate.

3.4 The Plan Administrator is empowered, on behalf of the Plan, to engage accountants, legal counsel, and such other personnel as it deems necessary or advisable to assist it in the performance of its duties under the Plan. The functions of any such persons engaged by the Plan Administrator shall be limited to the specified services and duties for which they are engaged, and such persons shall have no other duties, obligations or responsibilities under the Plan. Such persons shall exercise no discretionary authority or discretionary control respecting the management of the Plan. All reasonable expenses thereof shall be borne by the Employer.

 

10


SECTION 4. DURATION; AMENDMENT; AND TERMINATION .

4.1 This Plan shall be effective on the Effective Date. This Plan shall continue in effect unless and until it is terminated as provided in Section 4.2.

4.2 This Plan may be amended from time to time during its term by the Company acting through its Board of Directors or, to the extent authorized by the Board of Directors, its officers. The Company may, by action of its Board of Directors, terminate this Plan at any time.

SECTION 5. GENERAL PROVISIONS .

5.1 Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, or in any manner; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Eligible Employee. When a payment is due under this Plan to a Severed Employee who is unable to care for his or her affairs, payment may be made directly to his or her legal guardian or personal representative.

5.2 If any Employer is obligated by law or by contract to pay severance pay, a termination indemnity, notice pay, or the like, to a Severed Employee, or if any Employer is obligated by law to provide advance notice of separation (“Notice Period”) to a Severed Employee, then any Severance Pay hereunder to such Severed Employee shall be reduced by the amount of any such severance pay, termination indemnity, notice pay, or the like, as applicable, and by the amount of any compensation received during any Notice Period. This provision specifically includes any payments or obligations under the Phillips 66 Severance Pay Plan. Furthermore, if an Eligible Employee has willful and bad faith conduct demonstrably injurious to Company or its Subsidiaries, monetarily or otherwise, after receiving Severance Pay, the Company may offset an amount equal to such Severance Pay against any other amounts due from other plans or programs, unless otherwise required by law.

5.3 Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust, or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Eligible Employee, or any person whomsoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Employer, and all Eligible Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.

 

11


5.4 If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

5.5 This Plan shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of the parties, including each Eligible Employee, present and future, and any successor to the Employer.

5.6 The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.

5.7 The Plan shall not be funded. No Eligible Employee shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of any Employer that may be applied by the Employer to the payment of benefits or other rights under this Plan.

5.8 Any notice or other communication required or permitted pursuant to the terms hereof shall have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States Mail, first-class, postage prepaid, addressed to the intended recipient at his, her or its last known address.

5.9 This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Delaware.

The Plan is hereby adopted effective as of the Effective Time and conditioned on the occurrence of the Distribution.

Executed this 24th day of April 2012, by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

Exhibit 10.17

PHILLIPS 66 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

FOR

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

Section 1. Purpose of the Plan

The purpose of the Phillips 66 Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (“Plan”) is to provide a program whereby a member of the Board of Directors of Phillips 66 (“Company”) who is not an officer or present employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (“Non-Employee Director”) may elect to:

 

1) receive the payment of part or all of the Cash Compensation payable to the Non-Employee Director (“Cash Payment”),

 

2) defer the payment of part or all of the Cash Compensation payable to the Non-Employee Director (“Deferred Payment”), credited into an account or accounts established from time to time for that purpose (a “Deferred Compensation Account”),

 

3) receive part or all of the Cash Compensation payable to the Non-Employee Director in shares of Unrestricted Stock under the terms of the Phillips 66 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan, or a successor plan (“Unrestricted Stock Award”),

 

4) receive part or all of the Cash Compensation in shares of Restricted Stock Units under the terms of the Phillips 66 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan, or a successor plan (“Restricted Stock Unit Award”), and

 

5) delay the settlement of Restricted Stock Units, issued under the terms of the Phillips 66 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan, or a successor plan.

 

- 1 -


The amount of total compensation which is paid to the Non-Employee Director for services rendered as a Non-Employee Director is set by resolution of the Board of Directors and is comprised of a portion paid in cash (“Cash Compensation”) and a portion paid in Restricted Stock Units and/or Unrestricted Stock (“Stock Compensation”) of Phillips 66 common stock $.01 par value (“Phillips 66 Common Stock”). Cash Compensation shall be earned for service as a Non-Employee Director over each calendar month in which the Non-Employee Director is a member of the Board of Directors of Phillips 66 and not an officer or employee of Phillips 66 or any of its subsidiaries. Any Cash Compensation payable as a result of assignment to a particular committee of the Board of Directors of Phillips 66, chairmanship of a committee, or similar duties shall be deemed to be earned for any calendar month in which the assignment, chairmanship, or similar duties exist. Stock Compensation shall be earned annually by those Non-Employee Directors who are members of the Board of Directors on the grant date of the Stock Compensation.

This Plan is amended and restated with the intention to comply with section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), which became generally effective on January 1, 2005, and any regulations or other applicable guidance thereon, and shall be construed accordingly. It is intended that provisions of the Plan dealing with Cash Compensation or Stock Compensation earned and vested prior to January 1, 2005, shall continue as in effect prior to that date as “grandfathered” provisions and not be considered to be materially modified by this amendment and restatement.

 

- 2 -


Section 2. Elections

 

(a) Cash Payment . For each calendar year, a Non-Employee Director may elect to have payment of part or all of the Non-Employee Director’s Cash Compensation paid in cash in each month earned. On or before December 20 (or such other date in December as may be set from time to time for the orderly administration of the Plan) of each year, the election to receive Cash Compensation to be paid in the next calendar year may be made by giving written notice thereof in the manner prescribed by the Company, except that such election may be made by the end of the 30-day period after a Non-Employee Director is first elected to the Board of Directors. The election becomes irrevocable on December 31 of the calendar year prior to the year in which the Cash Compensation is to be earned. In default of a timely election otherwise, a Non-Employee Director shall receive Cash Compensation.

 

(b) Deferred Payment . For each calendar year, a Non-Employee Director may elect to have payment of part or all of the Non-Employee Director’s Cash Compensation deferred. On or before December 20 (or such other date in December as may be set from time to time for the orderly administration of the Plan) of each year, the election to defer Cash Compensation that would otherwise be paid in the next calendar year may be made by giving written notice thereof in the manner prescribed by the Company, except that such election may be made by the end of the 30-day period after a Non-Employee Director is first elected to the Board of Directors, to be effective for any Cash Compensation for that year earned beginning the month after such election is made. The election becomes irrevocable on December 31 of the calendar year prior to the year in which the Cash Compensation is to be earned.

 

(c)

Unrestricted Stock Award . For each calendar year, a Non-Employee Director may elect to receive Unrestricted Stock for part or all of the Cash Compensation that would otherwise be paid in the next calendar year. On or before December 20 (or such other date in

 

- 3 -


  December as may be set from time to time for the orderly administration of the Plan) of each year, such election to receive Unrestricted Stock instead of cash may be made by giving written notice thereof in the manner prescribed by the Company, except that such election may be made by the end of the 30-day period after a Non-Employee Director is first elected to the Board of Directors, to be effective for any Cash Compensation for that year. Such election to receive Unrestricted Stock becomes irrevocable on December 31 of the calendar year prior to the year in which the Cash Compensation is to be earned.

 

(d) Restricted Stock Unit Award . For each calendar year, a Non-Employee Director may elect to receive Restricted Stock Units for part or all of the Cash Compensation that would otherwise be paid in the next calendar year. On or before December 20 (or such other date in December as may be set from time to time for the orderly administration of the Plan) of each year, such election to receive Restricted Stock Units instead of cash may be made by giving written notice thereof in the manner prescribed by the Company, except that such election may be made by the end of the 30-day period after a Non-Employee Director is first elected to the Board of Directors, to be effective for any Cash Compensation for that year earned beginning the month after such election is made. Such election to receive Restricted Stock Units becomes irrevocable on December 31 of the calendar year prior to the year in which the Cash Compensation is to be earned.

 

(e) Restricted Stock Units Settled .

 

  (i)

Non-Employee Directors may elect to set the time and form of settlement of Restricted Stock Units as Phillips 66 Common Stock by elections made prior to the calendar year in which such Restricted Stock Units are granted. Such elections shall become irrevocable on December 31 of the calendar year in which they are made;

 

- 4 -


  provided, however, that a subsequent change in time or form of payment may be allowed pursuant to the subsequent election provisions of Section 4(b) of this Plan. Such elections shall be on the form or forms attached as Exhibits to this Plan from time to time, the terms of which shall be incorporated herein by reference. In the event an initial election is not timely made with regard to a particular Restricted Stock Unit Award described in this Section 2(e)(i), then restrictions on such Restricted Stock Unit Award shall lapse upon the earlier of the death or the date six months after the date of separation from service, whether by retirement, disability, or otherwise (than death), of the Non-Employee Director to whom the Restricted Stock Unit Award was granted. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or on an election to the contrary, if the Plan or the election would otherwise lapse restrictions on a Restricted Stock Unit Award described in this Section 2(e)(i) on the separation from service of a Non-Employee Director, such settlement shall not be made until the earlier of the death of the Non-Employee Director or the date which is six months after the date of such Non-Employee Director’s separation from service.

 

  (ii) A Restricted Stock Unit Award is made for services performed by the Non-Employee Director in the year in which the Restricted Stock Unit Award is made, not with regard to any prior year or later year service.

Section 3. Deferred Compensation Accounts

 

(a)

Credit for Deferral . The Company will establish and maintain Deferred Compensation Accounts for each Non-Employee Director who defers Cash Compensation and/or Restricted Stock Units which will be credited with the amounts deferred for the year to

 

- 5 -


  which the deferral relates. Amounts deferred shall be credited as soon as practicable but not later than 30 days after the date the payment would otherwise have been made. The value of the underlying Restricted Stock Units, including all dividends that are reinvested, shall be the monthly average Fair Market Value of the calendar month preceding the month in which the cash payment or shares are to be delivered, as applicable. The monthly average Fair Market Value of the Phillips 66 Common Stock is the average of the daily Fair Market Value of the Phillips 66 Common Stock for each trading day of the month. The daily Fair Market Value of the Phillips 66 Common Stock shall be deemed equal to the average of the reported highest and lowest sales prices per share of such Phillips 66 Common Stock as reported on the composite tape of the New York Stock Exchange transactions.

 

(b)

Designation of Investments . The amount in each Non-Employee Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be deemed to have been invested and reinvested from time to time, in such “eligible securities” as the Non-Employee Director shall designate. Prior to or in the absence of a Non-Employee Director’s designation, the Company shall designate an “eligible security” in which the Non-Employee Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be deemed to have been invested until designation instructions are received from the Non-Employee Director. Eligible securities are those securities designated by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The Chief Financial Officer of the Company may include as eligible securities, stocks listed on a national securities exchange, and bonds, notes, debentures, corporate or governmental, either listed on a national securities exchange or for which price quotations are published in The Wall Street Journal and shares issued by investment companies commonly known as “mutual funds”. The Non-Employee

 

- 6 -


  Director’s Deferred Compensation Account will be adjusted to reflect the deemed gains, losses and earnings as though the amount deferred was actually invested and reinvested in the eligible securities for the Non-Employee Director’s Deferred Compensation Account.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(b), in the event the Company actually purchases or sells such securities in the quantities and at the times the securities are deemed to be purchased or sold for a Non-Employee Director’s Deferred Compensation Account, the Account shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect the price actually paid or received by the Company for such securities after adjustment for all transaction expenses incurred (including without limitation brokerage fees and stock transfer taxes).

In the case of any deemed purchase not actually made by the Company, the Deferred Compensation Account shall be charged with a dollar amount equal to the quantity and kind of securities deemed to have been purchased multiplied by the fair market value of such security on the date of reference and shall be credited with the quantity and kind of securities so deemed to have been purchased. In the case of any deemed sale not actually made by the Company, the account shall be charged with the quantity and kind of securities deemed to have been sold, and shall be credited with a dollar amount equal to the quantity and kind of securities deemed to have been sold multiplied by the fair market value of such security on the date of reference. As used herein “fair market value” means in the case of a listed security the closing price on the date of reference, or if there were no sales on such date, then the closing price on the nearest preceding day on which there were such sales, and in the case of an unlisted security the mean between the bid and asked prices on the date of reference, or if no such prices are available for such date, then the mean between the bid and asked prices to the nearest preceding day for which such prices are available.

 

- 7 -


The Treasurer may also designate a Fund Manager to provide services which may include recordkeeping, Non-Employee Director accounting, Non-Employee Director communication, payment of installments to the Non-Employee Director, tax reporting and any other services specified by the Company in agreement with the Fund Manager.

 

(c)

Payments . A Non-Employee Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be debited with respect to payments made from the account pursuant to this Plan as of the date such payments are made from the account. The payment shall be made as soon as practicable, but no later than 2  1 / 2 months after the end of the calendar year in which the payment date falls.

If any person to whom a payment is due hereunder is under legal disability as determined in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, the Company shall have the power to cause the payment due such person to be made to such person’s guardian or other legal representative for the person’s benefit, and such payment shall constitute a full release and discharge of the Company and any fiduciary of the Plan.

 

(d) Statements . At least one time per year the Company or the Company’s designee will furnish each Non-Employee Director a written statement setting forth the current balance in the Non-Employee Director’s Deferred Compensation Account, the amounts credited or debited to such account since the last statement and the payment schedule of deferred amounts and deemed gains, losses and earnings accrued thereon as provided by the deferred payment option selected by the Non-Employee Director.

 

- 8 -


Section 4. Deferred Payment Options

 

(a) Payment Option . With regard to Deferred Compensation Accounts established for Cash Compensation or Stock Compensation that was not both earned and vested prior to January 1, 2005, a Non-Employee Director may make a subsequent change to an earlier election with regard to any such Deferred Compensation Account or Award. Such subsequent change may change either the time or the form of payment or both as to any particular Deferred Compensation Account or Award. Such subsequent change shall not become effective unless one year passes after such subsequent change is made and no event or time that would cause payment to be made under the election that is being changed has occurred. Any such subsequent change shall increase by at least five years the date on which payment will be made from the date on which payment would have been made under the election that is being changed. The Non-Employee Director is allowed to make no more than three such subsequent changes per Deferred Compensation Account or Award. With regard to a Deferred Compensation Account or Award as to which an election is in effect to take payments in installments, such installments shall be considered to be a single payment commencing on the first date an installment payment is scheduled to be made, in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).

 

(b) Installment Amount . The amount of each installment shall be determined by dividing the balance in the Non-Employee Director’s Deferred Compensation Account as of the date the installment is to be paid, by the number of installments remaining to be paid (inclusive of the current installment) or such other installment option that may be offered.

 

- 9 -


Section 5. Death of Non-Employee Director

Upon the death of a Non-Employee Director, the Non-Employee Director’s beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in accordance with Section 6 of this Plan, or, in the absence of an effective beneficiary designation, the surviving spouse, or the Estate of the deceased Non-Employee Director, in that order of priority, shall receive the beneficiary’s or beneficiaries’ portion of the payments in accordance with the deferred payment schedule selected by the Non-Employee Director, whether the Non-Employee Director’s death occurred before or after such payments have commenced.

Section 6. Designation of Beneficiary

Each Non-Employee Director who defers under this Plan shall designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive the entire balance of the Non-Employee Director’s Deferred Compensation Account by giving signed written notice of such designation in the manner prescribed by the Company. Each Non-Employee Director who has Restricted Stock Unit Award shall designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any such Restricted Stock Units by giving signed written notice of such designation in the manner provided by the Company. The Non-Employee Director may from time to time change or cancel any previous beneficiary designation in the same manner. The last written beneficiary designation received by the Company shall be controlling over any prior designation and over any testamentary or other disposition. After receipt by the Company of such written designation, it shall take effect as of the date on which it was signed by the Non-Employee Director, whether the Non-Employee Director is living at the time of such receipt, but without prejudice to the Company on account of any payment made under this Plan before receipt of such designation.

 

- 10 -


Section 7. Nonassignability

The right of a Non-Employee Director or beneficiary or other person who becomes entitled to receive payments under this Plan shall not be pledged, assigned or subject to garnishment, attachment or any other legal process by the creditors of or other claimants against the Non-Employee Director, beneficiary, or other such person.

The monthly average Fair Market Value of the Stock is the average of the daily Fair Market Value of the Stock for each trading day of the month.

The daily Fair Market Value of the Stock shall be deemed equal to the average of the high and low selling prices of the Stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

Amounts deferred pursuant to Section 3(e) and 3(f) and Section 5(h)(3) will be credited to the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 days after the cash payment would have been made had it not been deferred. Amounts deferred pursuant to other provisions of this Plan shall be credited as soon as practicable but not later than 30 days after the date the Award would otherwise be payable.

 

- 17 -


  (b) Designation of Investments . The amount in each Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be deemed to have been invested and reinvested from time to time, in such “eligible securities” as the Participant shall designate. Prior to or in the absence of a Participant’s designation, the Company shall designate an “eligible security” in which the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be deemed to have been invested until designation instructions are received from the Participant. Eligible securities are those securities designated by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, or his successor. The Chief Financial Officer of the Company may include as eligible securities, stocks listed on a national securities exchange, and bonds, notes, debentures, corporate or governmental, either listed on a national securities exchange or for which price quotations are published in The Wall Street Journal and shares issued by investment companies commonly known as “mutual funds”. The Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account will be adjusted to reflect the deemed gains, losses, and earnings as though the amount deferred was actually invested and reinvested in the eligible securities for the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section 4(b), in the event the Company (or any trust maintained for this purpose) actually purchases or sells such securities in the quantities and at the times the securities are deemed to be purchased or sold for a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account, the Account shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect the price actually paid or received by the Company for such securities after adjustment for all transaction expenses incurred (including without limitation brokerage fees and stock transfer taxes).

In the case of any deemed purchase not actually made by the Company, the Deferred Compensation Account shall be charged with a dollar amount equal to the quantity and kind of securities deemed to have been purchased multiplied by the fair market value of such security on the date of reference and shall be credited with the quantity and kind of securities so deemed to have been purchased. In the case of any deemed

 

- 18 -


sale not actually made by the Company, the account shall be charged with the quantity and kind of securities deemed to have been sold, and shall be credited with a dollar amount equal to the quantity and kind of securities deemed to have been sold multiplied by the fair market value of such security on the date of reference. As used in this paragraph “fair market value” means in the case of a listed security the closing price on the date of reference, or if there were no sales on such date, then the closing price on the nearest preceding day on which there were such sales, and in the case of an unlisted security the mean between the bid and asked prices on the date of reference, or if no such prices are available for such date, then the mean between the bid and asked prices to the nearest preceding day for which such prices are available.

The Chief Financial Officer of the Company may also designate a third party to provide services that may include record keeping, Participant accounting, Participant communication, payment of installments to the Participant, tax reporting, and any other services specified by the Company in agreement with such third party.

 

  (c) Payments . A Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be debited with respect to payments made from the account pursuant to this Plan as of the date such payments are made from the account. The payment shall be made as soon as practicable, but no later than 30 days, after the installment payment date.

If any person to whom a payment is due hereunder is under legal disability as determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, the Plan Administrator shall have the power to cause the payment due such person to be made to such person’s guardian or other legal representative for the person’s benefit, and such payment shall constitute a full release and discharge of the Company, the Plan Administrator, and any fiduciary of the Plan.

 

  (d)

Statements . At least one time per year the Company or the Company’s designee will furnish each Participant a written statement setting forth the current balance in the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account, the amounts credited or debited to

 

- 19 -


  such account since the last statement and the payment schedule of deferred Awards, and deemed gains, losses, and earnings accrued thereon as provided by the deferred payment option selected by the Participant.

  (c) Election of Method of Payment of the Value of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units . As provided in Section 3(c) above, a deferral of the value of all or part of the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units will be considered payment option (b)(i) of this Section subject to Paragraphs (e) and (g) of this Section.

 

  (d) Election of Method of Payment of a Lump Sum Distribution from Non-Qualified Retirement Plans .

The payment options are annual installments of not less than 1 nor more than 15, semi-annual installments of not less than 2 nor more than 30, or quarterly installments of not less than 4 nor more than 60.

Subject to Paragraph (g) of this Section, if the Committee or CEO, as appropriate, accepts the Potential Participant’s indication of preference, the election of the method of payment of the amount deferred shall become irrevocable.

 

  (e) Payment Option Revisions . If a Section 5(b)(i) payment option applies to any part of the balance of a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account, the Participant may revise such payment option as follows:

 

  (i) Prior to Retirement . The Participant at any time during a period beginning 365 days prior to and ending 90 days prior to the date the Participant Retires at age 55 or above may, with respect to the total of all amounts subject to such payment option at the time of the Participant’s Retirement at age 55 or above, in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, revise such payment option and elect one of the payment options specified in (e)(iv) of this Section to apply to such total amount in place of such payment option.

Such notice shall contain:

 

  (1) a statement of the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

 

  (2) specific references to the pertinent provisions hereunder on which such denial is based;

 

- 28 -


  (3) a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

Any person filing an appeal from the denial of a claim must do so in writing within sixty days after receipt of written notice of denial. The Trustee shall render a decision regarding the claim within sixty days after receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered within a reasonable time, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review. The decision of the Trustee shall be in writing and, in the case of the denial of a claim in whole or in part, shall set forth the same information as is required in an initial notice of denial by the Plan Administrator, other than an explanation of this claims review procedure.

SECTION 10. Employment not Affected by Plan.

Participation or nonparticipation in this Plan shall neither adversely affect any person’s employment status nor confer any special rights on any person other than those expressly stated in the Plan. Participation in the Plan by an Employee of the Company or of a Participating Subsidiary shall not affect the Company’s or the Participating Subsidiary’s right to terminate the Employee’s employment or to change the Employee’s compensation or position.

SECTION 11. Determination of Recipients of Awards.

The determination of those persons who are entitled to Awards under an Incentive Compensation Plan and any other such plans shall be governed solely by the terms and provisions of the applicable plan, and the selection of an Employee as a Potential Participant or the acceptance of an indication of preference to defer an Award hereunder shall not in any way entitle such Potential Participant to an Award.

SECTION 12. Method of Providing Payments.

 

  (a) Nonsegregation . Amounts deferred pursuant to this Plan and the crediting of amounts to a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall represent the Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to pay compensation in the future. With respect to said amounts, the relationship of the Company and a Participant shall be that of debtor and general unsecured creditor. While the Company may make investments for the purpose of measuring and meeting its obligations under this Plan such investments shall remain the sole property of the Company subject to claims of its creditors generally, and shall not be deemed to form or be included in any part of the Deferred Compensation Account.

 

- 30 -


  (b) Funding . It is the intention of the Company that this Plan shall be unfunded for federal tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA; provided, however, that the Company may establish a grantor trust to satisfy part or all of its Plan payment obligations so long as the Plan remains unfunded for federal tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

SECTION 13. Amendment or Termination of Plan.

Subject to Paragraph 9(d), the Company reserves the right to amend this Plan from time to time or to terminate the Plan entirely, provided, however, that no amendment may affect the balance in a Participant’s account on the effective date of the amendment. No Participant shall participate in a decision to amend or terminate this Plan. In the event of termination of the Plan, the Chief Executive Officer, in his sole discretion, may elect to have the Company pay to the Participant in one lump sum as soon as practicable after termination of the Plan, the balance then in the Participant’s account.

SECTION 14. Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

  (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan shall be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns, including but not limited to any corporation which may acquire all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business or with or into which the Company may be consolidated or merged.

 

  (b) This Plan shall be construed, regulated, and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas except to the extent that said laws have been preempted by the laws of the United States.

APPENDIX A

CONOCOPHILLIPS SPIN-OFF

 

1. Background . Phillips 66 was a subsidiary of ConocoPhillips (“COP”) prior to the Distribution. As a result of the Distribution, COP distributed its interest in Phillips 66 to its shareholders.

As of the Effective Time, pursuant to an agreement between Phillips 66 and COP that was conditioned on the Distribution occurring, the liabilities for certain participants’ benefits under the Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan of ConocoPhillips (the “COP Plan”), including amounts grandfathered from Code section 409A (i.e., amounts deferred and vested prior to January 1, 2005), were transferred to the Company and to this Plan. The Participants whose benefits were transferred to this Plan on the Effective Time are referred to below as “COP Participants.” The rules in this Appendix shall apply to COP Participants and certain other Plan terms notwithstanding any Plan provisions to the contrary.

 

2. Plan Benefits . COP Participants who qualified as eligible employees under the COP Plan as of the Effective Time shall be eligible employees under this Plan on such date. All service and compensation that would be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of a COP Participant’s benefit under the COP Plan as of the Effective Time shall be taken into account for the same purposes under this Plan.

 

3. Distributions . The terms of this Plan shall govern the distribution of all benefits payable to a COP Participant or any other person with a right to receive such benefits, including amounts accrued under the COP Plan and then transferred to this Plan.

 

4. Separation from Service . For avoidance of doubt, no COP Participant shall be treated as incurring a separation from service, termination of employment, retirement, or similar event for purposes of determining the right to a distribution (for amounts subject to Code section 409A or otherwise), benefits, or any other purpose under the Plan as a result of COP’s distribution of Phillips 66 shares to COP’s shareholders or the COP Participant’s transfer of employment to the Company or any subsidiary of Phillips 66.

 

- 33 -


5. Participant Elections . All elections made by COP Participants under the COP Plan, including any payment elections or beneficiary designations, shall apply to the same effect under this Plan as if made under the terms of this Plan.

 

6. References to Plan . All references in this Plan to the “Plan” as in effect before the Effective Time shall be read as references to the COP Plan as it was in effect at such time.

 

7. Right to Benefits . With respect to any recordkeeping account established to determine a benefit provided or due under the COP Plan at any time, no benefit will be due under the Plan except with respect to the portion of such recordkeeping account reflecting the liability transferred from the COP Plan to the Plan on the Effective Time. Additionally, on and after the Effective Time, COP, any subsidiary of COP that remains a subsidiary after the Distribution (“COP Subsidiary”), the COP Plan, any directors, officers, or employees of COP or a COP Subsidiary, and any successors to any of the aforementioned entities or individuals shall have no further obligation or liability to any COP Participant with respect to any benefit, amount, or right due under the COP Plan.

 

8. Stock .

For the period prior to the Distribution, “Stock” may also include any common stock of ConocoPhillips, par value $.01 (“ConocoPhillips Common Stock”).

As of the Distribution, the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units of ConocoPhillips shall be converted into Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units of Phillips 66 and restricted stock and restricted stock units of ConocoPhillips as provided in the Employee Matters Agreement. The amounts to be credited to a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account under Section 4(a) will be based on such Restricted Stock and

 

- 34 -


Restricted Stock Units of Phillips 66 and restricted stock and restricted stock units of ConocoPhillips after the Distribution. To the extent necessary, the Plan Administrator shall use reasonable interpretations and adjustments to determine the Fair Market Value of the Stock. Furthermore, with regard to any valuation that occurs after the Distribution and which requires valuation of ConocoPhillips Common Stock or of Stock, or of both, from a time on or before the Distribution and from a time after the Distribution, then the following shall apply, in order to allow the valuation to take into account the distribution by stock dividend of one share of Stock for each two shares of ConocoPhillips Common Stock held at the Distribution:

 

  (a) The value of ConocoPhillips Common Stock or of Stock determined as of any date after the Distribution shall be determined using market information related to each;

 

  (b) The value of ConocoPhillips Common Stock determined as of any date on or before the Distribution that does not also require a valuation of ConocoPhillips Common Stock as of any date after the Distribution shall be determined using market information related to ConocoPhillips Common Stock as it traded on or before the Distribution;

 

  (c) The value of ConocoPhillips Common Stock determined as of any date on or before the Distribution that also requires a valuation of ConocoPhillips Common Stock or of Stock as of any date after the Distribution shall be deemed to be two-thirds of the value of ConocoPhillips Common Stock determined using market information related to ConocoPhillips Common Stock as it traded on or before the Distribution; and

 

- 35 -


  (d) The value of Stock determined as of any date on or before the Distribution that also requires a valuation of ConocoPhillips Common Stock or of Stock as of any date after the Distribution shall be deemed to be one-third of the value of ConocoPhillips Common Stock determined using market information related to ConocoPhillips Common Stock as it traded on or before the Distribution.

SECTION 4. Deferred Compensation Accounts.

 

  (a) Credit for Deferral . Amounts deferred pursuant to Section 3(a) will be credited to a Deferred Compensation Account for the Participant for the calendar year in which the amounts are deferred not later than 30 days after the Settlement Date of the Incentive Compensation Plan.

If an Award in the form of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units provides that, in certain instances the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be cancelled and a market value in lieu thereof be credited to a Deferred Compensation Account for the Participant, then the market value shall be credited to a Deferred Compensation Account for the Participant as of the day that the Award in the form of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units is cancelled. The market value of the underlying Restricted Stock or the shares represented by the Restricted Stock Units awarded under a Long Term Incentive Plan, under an Incentive Compensation Plan that began on or after January 1, 2003, under an Omnibus Securities Plan (with regard to awards made on or after January 1, 2003), and for the Special Stock Awards issued on October 22, 2002, shall be the monthly average Fair Market Value of the Stock during the calendar month preceding the month in which the restrictions lapse or shares are to be delivered as applicable. The monthly average Fair Market Value of the Stock is the average of the daily Fair Market Value of the Stock for each trading day of the month. For Awards made prior to those times, the market value of the underlying Restricted Stock or the shares represented by the Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, shall be based on the higher of (i) the average of the high and low selling prices of the Stock on the date the restrictions lapse or the last trading day before the day the restrictions lapse if such date is not a trading day or (ii) the average of the high three monthly Fair Market Values of the Stock during the twelve calendar months preceding the month in which the restrictions lapse. The

 

- 8 -


monthly Fair Market Value of the Stock is the average of the daily Fair Market Value of the Stock for each trading day of the month. The daily Fair Market Value of the Stock shall be deemed equal to the average of the high and low selling prices of the Stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

Amounts deferred pursuant to other provisions of this Plan shall be credited to a Deferred Compensation Account for the Participant for the calendar year in which such amounts are deferred not later than 30 days after the date the Award or Salary would otherwise be payable.

 

  (b) Designation of Investments . The amount in each Deferred Compensation Account of a Participant shall be deemed to have been invested and reinvested from time to time, in such “eligible securities” as the Participant shall designate. Prior to or in the absence of a Participant’s designation, the Company shall designate an “eligible security” in which the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be deemed to have been invested until designation instructions are received from the Participant. Eligible securities are those securities designated by the Chief Financial Officer of Phillips 66, or his successor. The Chief Financial Officer of Phillips 66 may include as eligible securities, stocks listed on a national securities exchange, and bonds, notes, debentures, corporate or governmental, either listed on a national securities exchange or for which price quotations are published in The Wall Street Journal and shares issued by investment companies commonly known as “mutual funds.” The Deferred Compensation Accounts of a Participant will be adjusted to reflect the deemed gains, losses, and earnings as though the amount deferred was actually invested and reinvested in the eligible securities for each Deferred Compensation Account of the Participant.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section 4(b), in the event the Company (or any trust maintained for this purpose) actually purchases or sells such securities in the quantities and at the times the securities are deemed to be purchased or sold for a Deferred Compensation Account of a Participant, the

 

- 9 -


Account shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect the price actually paid or received by the Company for such securities after adjustment for all transaction expenses incurred (including without limitation brokerage fees and stock transfer taxes).

In the case of any deemed purchase not actually made by the Company, the Deferred Compensation Account shall be charged with a dollar amount equal to the quantity and kind of securities deemed to have been purchased multiplied by the fair market value of such security on the date of reference and shall be credited with the quantity and kind of securities so deemed to have been purchased. In the case of any deemed sale not actually made by the Company, the account shall be charged with the quantity and kind of securities deemed to have been sold, and shall be credited with a dollar amount equal to the quantity and kind of securities deemed to have been sold multiplied by the fair market value of such security on the date of reference. As used in this paragraph “fair market value” means in the case of a listed security the closing price on the date of reference, or if there were no sales on such date, then the closing price on the nearest preceding day on which there were such sales, and in the case of an unlisted security the mean between the bid and asked prices on the date of reference, or if no such prices are available for such date, then the mean between the bid and asked prices to the nearest preceding day for which such prices are available.

The Plan Administrator may designate a third party to provide services that may include record keeping, Participant accounting, Participant communication, payment of installments to the Participant, tax reporting, and any other services specified in an agreement with such third party.

 

  (c)

Payments . A Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be debited with respect to payments made from the account pursuant to this Plan as of the date such payments are made from the account. Payments shall be made on the dates specified in the elections of the Participant; provided, however, that the Participant shall have no right to complain or make a claim about the date of a payment if such payment is

 

- 10 -


made no earlier than 30 days prior to the specified date and no later than the end of the calendar year in which such specified date falls (or, if later, by the 15 th day of the third calendar month following the specified date).

If any person to whom a payment is due hereunder is under legal disability as determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, the Plan Administrator shall have the power to cause the payment due such person to be made to such person’s guardian or other legal representative for the person’s benefit, and such payment shall constitute a full release and discharge of the Company, all members of the Controlled Group, the Plan Administrator, and any fiduciary of the Plan.

 

  (d) Statements . At least one time per year the Plan Administrator (or a third party acting for the Plan Administrator) will furnish each Participant a written statement setting forth the current balance in the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account, the amounts credited or debited to such account since the last statement and the payment schedule of deferred Awards, and deemed gains, losses, and earnings accrued thereon as provided by the deferred payment option selected by the Participant. This provision shall be deemed satisfied if the Plan Administrator (or a third party acting for the Plan Administrator) makes such information available through electronic means, such as a web site, and informs affected Participants of the availability of the information and the manner of accessing it.

SECTION 5. Payments from Deferred Compensation Accounts.

 

  (a)

Election of Method of Payment . At the time a Potential Participant submits an election to defer all or any part of an Award under an Incentive Compensation Plan as provided in Section 3(a) above or to reduce any part of salary as provided in Section 3(b) above, the Potential Participant shall also elect, using the Election Form or in such other manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, which of the payment options, provided for in Paragraph (b) of this Section, shall apply to the deferred portion of said Award or salary adjusted for any deemed gains, losses, and earnings

 

- 11 -


  accrued thereon credited to the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account under this Plan. Subject to Paragraph (d) of this Section, the election of the method of payment of the amount deferred shall become irrevocable on December 31 of the year in which the applicable Section 2(a) or (b) notice was received (except in the case of an election for an Award under an Incentive Compensation Plan determined by the Plan Administrator to be “performance-based compensation” under Code section 409A, the election shall become irrevocable on June 30 of the year in which said Section 2(a) or (b) notice was received). If an election does not properly indicate a time and method of payment, the Potential Participant will be deemed to have elected to receive such payment in a single lump sum at the earlier of death or the date which is the first of the calendar quarter six months after Separation from Service other than by death.

 

  (b) Payment Options . A Potential Participant may elect, using an Election Form or in such other manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have the deferred portion of an Incentive Compensation Plan Award or salary adjusted for any deemed gains, losses, and earnings accrued thereon paid:

  (ii)

(Date Certain) with regard only to the deferred portion of an Incentive Compensation Award, in 1 to 15 annual installments, in 2 to 30 semi-annual installments, or in 4 to 60 quarterly installments, the payment of the first of any of such installments to commence on the first day of calendar quarter which is designated by the Participant, is at least one year after the date on which the election is made, and is not later than the 65 th birthday of the Participant, subject to Paragraph (d) of this Section.

 

- 12 -


  (iii) In the event that no election is properly and timely made with regard to the time and method of payment under Section 5(b)(i), payment shall be made on the earlier of the death or the date which is the first of the calendar quarter following six months after the date of Separation from Service, whether by retirement, disability, or otherwise (other than by death), of the Participant, subject to Paragraph (d) of this Section.

 

  (c) Method of Payment of the Value of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units . If an Award in the form of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units provides that, in certain instances the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be cancelled and a market value in lieu thereof be credited to a Deferred Compensation Account for the Participant, payment of such Deferred Compensation Account shall be made on the earlier of the death or the date which is the first of the calendar quarter following six months after the date of Separation from Service, whether by retirement, disability, or otherwise (than death), of the Participant, subject to Paragraph (d) of this Section.

 

  (d) Change in Time or Form of Payment . A Participant may make an election to change the time or form of payment elected or set under Section 5 (including this Paragraph (d)), but only if the following rules are satisfied:

  (2) Payment under such election may not be made earlier than at least five years from the date the payment would have otherwise been made or commenced;

 

  (3) Such payment may commence as of the beginning of any calendar quarter;

 

  (4) An election to receive payments in installments shall be treated as a single payment for purposes of these rules;

  (6) No more than four such elections shall be permitted with respect to each Deferred Compensation Account of a Participant; and

 

  (7) No payment may be made after the date that is twenty (20) years after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service.

  (f) Installment Amount . The amount of each installment shall be determined by dividing the balance in the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account as of the date the installment is to be paid, by the number of installments remaining to be paid (inclusive of the current installment).

 

  (g) Death of Participant . Upon the death of a Participant, the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in accordance with Section 8, or in the absence of an effective beneficiary designation, the surviving spouse, surviving children (natural or adopted) in equal shares, or the Estate of the deceased Participant, in that order of priority, shall receive payments in accordance with the payment option selected by the Participant or, if no payment option was properly and timely selected by the Participant with regard to a Deferred Compensation Account, upon the death of the Participant.

SECTION 8. Designation of Beneficiary.

Each Participant shall designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive the entire balance of the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account by giving signed written notice of such designation to the Plan Administrator. The Participant may from time to time change or cancel any previous beneficiary designation in the same manner. The last beneficiary designation received by the Plan Administrator shall be controlling over any prior designation and over any testamentary or other disposition. After acceptance by the Plan Administrator of such written designation, it shall take effect as of the date on which it was signed by the Participant, whether the Participant is living at the time of such receipt, but without prejudice to the Company or any member of the Controlled Group or the Plan Administrator or their respective employees and agents on account of any payment made under this Plan before receipt of such designation.

SECTION 9. Nonassignability.

  (a)

The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may delegate to employees of the Company or any member of the Controlled Group the authority to execute and deliver such instruments and documents, to do all such acts and things, and to take such other steps deemed necessary, advisable, or convenient for the effective administration of the Plan in accordance with its terms and purpose, except that the Plan Administrator may not delegate any discretionary authority with respect to substantive decisions or functions regarding the Plan or Benefits hereunder. The Plan Administrator may adopt such rules, regulations, and

 

- 15 -


  forms as deemed desirable for administration of the Plan and shall have the discretionary authority to allocate responsibilities under the Plan to such other persons as may be designated.

 

  (b) Any claim for benefits hereunder shall be presented in writing to the Plan Administrator for consideration, grant, or denial. Claimants will be notified in writing of approved claims, which will be processed as claimed. A claim is considered approved only if its approval is communicated in writing to a claimant.

 

  (c) In the case of a denial of a claim respecting benefits paid or payable with respect to a Participant, a written notice will be furnished to the claimant within 90 days of the date on which the claim is received by the Plan Administrator. If special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require a longer period, the claimant will be notified in writing, prior to the expiration of the 90-day period, of the reasons for an extension of time; provided, however, that no extensions will be permitted beyond 90 days after the expiration of the initial 90-day period. A denial or partial denial of a claim will be dated and signed by the Plan Administrator and will clearly set forth:

 

  (1) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

 

  (2) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

 

  (3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

 

  (4) an explanation of the procedure for review of the denied or partially denied claim set forth below, including the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on review.

 

  (d)

Upon denial of a claim, in whole or in part, a claimant or his duly authorized representative will have the right to submit a written request to the Trustee for a full and fair review of the denied claim by filing a written notice of appeal with the Trustee within 60 days of the receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of

 

- 16 -


  the claim. A claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative will have, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits and may submit issues and comments in writing. The review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. If the claimant fails to file a request for review within 60 days of the denial notification, the claim will be deemed abandoned and the claimant precluded from reasserting it. If the claimant does file a request for review, his request must include a description of the issues and evidence he deems relevant. Failure to raise issues or present evidence on review will preclude those issues or evidence from being presented in any subsequent proceeding or judicial review of the claim.

 

  (e) The Trustee will provide a prompt written decision on review. If the claim is denied on review, the decision shall set forth:

 

  (1) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination;

 

  (2) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the adverse determination is based;

 

  (3) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and

 

  (4) a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the claimant’s right to obtain the information about such procedures, as well as a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA section 502(a).

 

  (f) A decision will be rendered no more than 60 days after the Trustee’s receipt of the request for review, except that such period may be extended for an additional 60 days if the Trustee determines that special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require such extension. If an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the claimant before the end of the initial 60-day period.

 

- 17 -


  (g) To the extent permitted by law, decisions reached under the claims procedures set forth in this Section shall be final and binding on all parties. No legal action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the claimant has exhausted his remedies under this Section. In any such legal action, the claimant may only present evidence and theories which the claimant presented during the claims procedure. Any claims which the claimant does not in good faith pursue through the review stage of the procedure shall be treated as having been irrevocably waived. Judicial review of a claimant’s denied claim shall be limited to a determination of whether the denial was an abuse of discretion based on the evidence and theories the claimant presented during the claims procedure.

SECTION 11. Employment not Affected by Plan.

Participation or nonparticipation in this Plan shall neither adversely affect any person’s employment status nor confer any special rights on any person other than those expressly stated in the Plan. Participation in the Plan by an Employee of the Company or of a Participating Subsidiary shall not affect the Company’s or any Controlled Group member’s right to terminate the Employee’s employment or to change the Employee’s compensation or position.

SECTION 12. Determination of Recipients of Awards.

The determination of those persons who are entitled to Awards under an Incentive Compensation Plan and any other such plans shall be governed solely by the terms and provisions of the applicable plan or program, and the selection of an Employee as a Potential Participant or the acceptance of an indication of preference to defer an Award hereunder shall not in any way entitle such Potential Participant to an Award.

 

- 18 -


SECTION 13. Method of Providing Payments.

 

  (a) Nonsegregation . Amounts deferred pursuant to this Plan and the crediting of amounts to a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall represent the Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to pay compensation in the future. With respect to said amounts, the relationship of the Company and a Participant shall be that of debtor and general unsecured creditor. While the Company may make investments for the purpose of measuring and meeting its obligations under this Plan such investments shall remain the sole property of the Company subject to claims of its creditors generally, and shall not be deemed to form or be included in any part of the Deferred Compensation Account.

 

  (b) Funding . It is the intention of the Company that this Plan shall be unfunded for federal tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA; provided, however, that the Company may establish a grantor trust to satisfy part or all of its Plan payment obligations so long as the Plan remains unfunded for federal tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

SECTION 14. Amendment or Termination of Plan.

The Company reserves the right to amend this Plan from time to time or to terminate the Plan entirely, provided, however, that no amendment may affect the balance in a Participant’s account on the effective date of the amendment.

SECTION 15. Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

  (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan shall be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns, including but not limited to any corporation which may acquire all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business or with or into which the Company may be consolidated or merged.

 

- 19 -


  (b) This Plan shall be construed, regulated, and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas except to the extent that said laws have been preempted by the laws of the United States.

 

  (c) It is the intention of the Company that, so long as any of Phillips 66’s equity securities are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this Plan shall be operated in compliance with 16(b) and, if any Plan provision or transaction is found not to comply with Section 16(b), that provision or transaction, as the case may be, shall be deemed null and void ab initio . Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Company, in its absolute discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan to Participants who are officers and directors subject to Section 16(b) without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other Participants.

 

  (d) For purposes of this Plan, electronic communications and signatures shall be considered to be in writing if made in conformity with procedures which the Plan Administrator may adopt from time to time.

APPENDIX B

CONOCOPHILLIPS SPIN-OFF

 

1. Background . Phillips 66 was a subsidiary of ConocoPhillips (“COP”) prior to the Distribution. As a result of the Distribution, COP distributed its interest in Phillips 66 to its shareholders.

As of the Effective Time, pursuant to an agreement between Phillips 66 and COP that was conditioned on the Distribution occurring, the liabilities for certain participants’ benefits under the Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan of ConocoPhillips (the “COP Plan”), including amounts grandfathered from Code section 409A (i.e., amounts deferred and vested prior to January 1, 2005), were transferred to the Company and to this Plan. The Participants whose benefits were transferred to this Plan on the Effective Time are referred to below as “COP Participants.” The rules in this Appendix shall apply to COP Participants and certain other Plan terms notwithstanding any Plan provisions to the contrary.

 

2. Plan Benefits . COP Participants who qualified as eligible employees under the COP Plan as of the Effective Time shall be eligible employees under this Plan on such date. All service and compensation that would be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of a COP Participant’s benefit under the COP Plan as of the Effective Time shall be taken into account for the same purposes under this Plan.

 

- 23 -


3. Distributions . The terms of this Plan shall govern the distribution of all benefits payable to a COP Participant or any other person with a right to receive such benefits, including amounts accrued under the COP Plan and then transferred to this Plan.

 

4. Separation from Service . For avoidance of doubt, no COP Participant shall be treated as incurring a separation from service, termination of employment, retirement, or similar event for purposes of determining the right to a distribution (for amounts subject to Code section 409A or otherwise), benefits, or any other purpose under the Plan as a result of COP’s distribution of Phillips 66 shares to COP’s shareholders or the COP Participant’s transfer of employment to the Company or any other subsidiary of Phillips 66.

 

5. Participant Elections . All elections made by COP Participants under the COP Plan, including any payment elections or beneficiary designations, shall apply to the same effect under this Plan as if made under the terms of this Plan.

 

6. References to Plan . All references in this Plan to the “Plan” as in effect before the Effective Time shall be read as references to the COP Plan as it was in effect at such time.

 

7.

Right to Benefits . With respect to any recordkeeping account established to determine a benefit provided or due under the COP Plan at any time, no benefit will be due under the Plan except with respect to the portion of such recordkeeping account reflecting the liability transferred from the COP Plan to the Plan on the Effective Time. Additionally, on and after the Effective Time, COP, any subsidiary of COP that remains a subsidiary

 

- 24 -


  after the Distribution (“COP Subsidiary”), the COP Plan, any directors, officers, or employees of COP or a COP Subsidiary, and any successors to any of the aforementioned entities or individuals shall have no further obligation or liability to any COP Participant with respect to any benefit, amount, or right due under the COP Plan.

 

8. Stock .

For the period prior to the Distribution, “Stock” may also include any common stock of ConocoPhillips, par value $.01 (“ConocoPhillips Common Stock”).

As of the Distribution, the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units of ConocoPhillips shall be converted into Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units of Phillips 66 and restricted stock and restricted stock units of ConocoPhillips as provided in the Employee Matters Agreement. The amounts to be credited to a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account under Section 4(a) will be based on such Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units of Phillips 66 and restricted stock and restricted stock units of ConocoPhillips after the Distribution. To the extent necessary, the Plan Administrator shall use reasonable interpretations and adjustments to determine the Fair Market Value of the Stock. Furthermore, with regard to any valuation that occurs after the Distribution and which requires valuation of ConocoPhillips Common Stock or of Stock, or of both, from a time on or before the Distribution and from a time after the Distribution, then the following shall apply, in order to allow the valuation to take into account the distribution by stock dividend of one share of Stock for each two shares of ConocoPhillips Common Stock held at the Distribution:

 

  (a) The value of ConocoPhillips Common Stock or of Stock determined as of any date after the Distribution shall be determined using market information related to each;

 

- 25 -


  (b) The value of ConocoPhillips Common Stock determined as of any date on or before the Distribution that does not also require a valuation of ConocoPhillips Common Stock as of any date after the Distribution shall be determined using market information related to ConocoPhillips Common Stock as it traded on or before the Distribution;

 

  (c) The value of ConocoPhillips Common Stock determined as of any date on or before the Distribution that also requires a valuation of ConocoPhillips Common Stock or of Stock as of any date after the Distribution shall be deemed to be two-thirds of the value of ConocoPhillips Common Stock determined using market information related to ConocoPhillips Common Stock as it traded on or before the Distribution; and

 

  (d) The value of Stock determined as of any date on or before the Distribution that also requires a valuation of ConocoPhillips Common Stock or Stock as of any date after the Distribution shall be deemed to be one-third of the value of ConocoPhillips Common Stock determined using market information related to ConocoPhillips Common Stock as it traded on or before the Distribution.

-7-


Section 3. Eligibility.

Benefits may only be granted to Highly Compensated Employees.

Section 4. Supplemental Thrift Feature Account Benefits.

For each payroll period in which Company contributions to a Participant’s account in the Thrift Feature are, or would be, limited by the Pay Limitations and/or by a voluntary salary reduction to the KEDCP, a Benefit amount shall be credited to his or her Supplemental Thrift Feature Account no later than the end of the month following the Valuation Date that Company contributions are made to the Participant’s Thrift Feature Account, or would be made to such account but for Pay Limitations.

The Supplemental Thrift Feature Account shall be eligible to be invested in the same investment funds as are made available to Participants in the Thrift Feature from time to time. While such investments shall consist solely of book entries and shall not actually be invested in such funds, the book entry share value of such deemed investment funds in this Plan shall be determined to be the same share value as the actual value of shares in the investment funds of the Savings Plan.

investment funds in the same manner, at the same times, and subject to the same limitations as though the deemed amounts were actually invested in the Savings Plan.

The amount to be credited shall be calculated in shares in the Company Stock Fund of this Plan as though the Participant had made Supplemental Stock Savings Contributions and shall be equal to (i) the Participant’s Supplemental Stock Savings Contributions during the applicable Allocation Period (as defined in the Savings Plan) multiplied by the applicable Allocation Ratio, divided by (ii) the share value for the Company Stock Fund of the Savings Plan on the applicable Allocation Date. This amount shall be credited no later than the end of the month following the Valuation Date that the Semiannual Allocation or Supplemental Allocation to the Company Stock Fund would have been made had the Participant received a Semiannual Allocation or Supplemental Allocation under the Stock Savings Feature. A share in the Company Stock Fund of the Supplemental Stock Savings Feature Account shall have a value equivalent to a share in the Company Stock Fund of the Savings Plan.

Section 5.1 Supplemental Stock Savings Account Feature Earnings

After being initially invested in the Company Stock Fund account, the amounts in the Participant’s Supplemental Stock Savings Feature Account shall thereafter be eligible to be

 

-9-


invested in the same investment funds as are made available to Participants in the Savings Plan from time to time. While such investments shall consist solely of book entries and shall not actually be invested in such funds, the book entry share value of such deemed investment funds in this Plan shall be determined to be the same share value as the actual value of shares in the investment funds of the Savings Plan. The amounts deemed invested in this Plan shall be valued at the same time and in the same manner as though they were actually invested in the Savings Plan. Also, deemed investments in the Participant’s Supplemental Stock Savings Feature Account may be exchanged into other available investment funds in the same manner, at the same times, and subject to the same limitations as though the deemed amounts were actually invested in the Savings Plan. However, to the extent that earnings in the form of dividends on Stock in the Savings Plan are eligible to be passed through to the Participant, such dividends will be deemed to have been reinvested in the Stock Fund of this Plan, without regard to whether the Participant has made a pass through election under the Savings Plan.

Section 6. Payment.

If a Participant terminates employment with the Affiliated Group for any reason except death, Disability, Layoff during or after the year in which the Participant reaches age 50, or Retirement, Benefits which the Participant is eligible to receive under this Plan shall be paid in one lump sum cash payment as soon as practicable following his or her termination. If a Participant dies prior to Retirement, Benefits which the Participant is eligible to receive under this Plan shall be paid in one lump sum cash payment to the Participant’s Beneficiary as soon as practicable after his or her death. If a Participant Retires, is Laid off during or after the year in which the Participant reaches age 50, or becomes Disabled, Benefits which the Participant is eligible to receive under this Plan shall be paid in one lump sum cash payment as soon as practicable following the Participant’s Retirement, Layoff, determination of Disability, or termination of employment; provided that such a Participant may indicate a preference to defer part or all of such lump sum cash payment under the terms of the KEDCP.

 

-10-


All lump sum cash payments shall be made only as of a Valuation Date and shall be net of withholding for applicable taxes required by law.

The Chief Executive Officer of Phillips 66, with respect to Participants who are not subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the Committee, with respect to Participants who are subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall consider such indication of preference and shall respectively decide in the Chief Executive Officer’s or the Committee’s sole discretion whether to accept or reject the preference expressed. In the event the Chief Executive Officer or the Committee, as applicable, accepts such Participant’s preference, the Participant’s Benefit from this Plan shall be credited as an Award under the KEDCP as soon as practicable after the Participant’s Retirement, Layoff, or the date the Participant is determined to be Disabled.

Section 7. Administration.

 

(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may delegate to employees of the Company or any Affiliated Company the authority to execute and deliver such instruments and documents, to do all such acts and things, and to take such other steps deemed necessary, advisable, or convenient for the effective administration of the Plan in accordance with its terms and purpose, except that the Plan Administrator may not delegate any discretionary authority with respect to substantive decisions or functions regarding the Plan or Benefits hereunder.

Any person filing an appeal from the denial of a claim must do so in writing within sixty days after receipt of written notice of denial. The Trustee shall render a decision regarding the claim within sixty days after receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered within a reasonable time, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review. The decision of the Trustee shall be in writing and, in the case of the denial of a claim in whole or in part, shall set forth the same information as is required in an initial notice of denial by the Plan Administrator, other than an explanation of this claims review procedure.

As of the Effective Time, pursuant to an agreement between Phillips 66 and COP that was conditioned on the Distribution occurring, the liabilities for certain participants’ benefits under the Defined Contribution Make-Up Plan of ConocoPhillips (the “COP Plan”), including amounts grandfathered from Code section 409A (i.e., amounts deferred and vested prior to January 1, 2005), were transferred to the Company and to this Plan. The Participants whose benefits were transferred to this Plan on the Effective Time are referred to below as “COP Participants.” The rules in this Appendix shall apply to COP Participants and certain other Plan terms notwithstanding any Plan provisions to the contrary.

 

2. Plan Benefits . COP Participants who qualified as eligible employees under the COP Plan as of the Effective Time shall be eligible employees under this Plan on such date. All service and compensation that would be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of a COP Participant’s benefit under the COP Plan as of the Effective Time shall be taken into account for the same purposes under this Plan.

 

3. Distributions . The terms of this Plan shall govern the distribution of all benefits payable to a COP Participant or any other person with a right to receive such benefits, including amounts accrued under the COP Plan and then transferred to this Plan.

 

4.

Separation from Service . For avoidance of doubt, no COP Participant shall be treated as incurring a separation from service, termination of employment, retirement, or similar event for purposes of determining the right to a distribution (for amounts subject to Code

 

-16-


  section 409A or otherwise), benefits, or any other purpose under the Plan as a result of COP’s distribution of Phillips 66 shares to COP’s shareholders or the COP Participant’s transfer of employment to the Company or any other subsidiary of Phillips 66.

 

5. Participant Elections . All elections made by COP Participants under the COP Plan, including any payment elections or beneficiary designations, shall apply to the same effect under this Plan as if made under the terms of this Plan.

 

6. References to Plan . All references in this Plan to the “Plan” as in effect before the Effective Time shall be read as references to the COP Plan as it was in effect at such time.

 

7. Right to Benefits . With respect to any recordkeeping account established to determine a benefit provided or due under the COP Plan at any time, no benefit will be due under the Plan except with respect to the portion of such recordkeeping account reflecting the liability transferred from the COP Plan to the Plan on the Effective Time. Additionally, on and after the Effective Time, COP, any subsidiary of COP that remains a subsidiary after the Distribution (“COP Subsidiary”), the COP Plan, any directors, officers, or employees of COP or a COP Subsidiary, and any successors to any of the aforementioned entities or individuals shall have no further obligation or liability to any COP Participant with respect to any benefit, amount, or right due under the COP Plan.

 

8. Stock . As of the Distribution, any ConocoPhillips common stock (“COP Stock”) held in the Company Stock Fund shall be transferred to a separate investment fund under this Plan that is accounted for as if investments were made in COP Stock, although no such actual investments need be made, with accounting entries being sufficient therefor. Investments in the COP Stock fund will be determined as of the Distribution. On and after the Distribution, a Participant will be allowed to hold or liquidate his or her deemed investment in COP Stock. No additional deemed investments in COP Stock will be allowed to be elected.

Section 2. Purpose.

The purpose of this Plan is to provide supplemental benefits for those Highly Compensated Employees whose benefits under the Savings Plan might otherwise be affected by Pay Limitations or by a voluntary reduction in salary under provisions of KEDCP.

Section 3. Eligibility.

Benefits may only be granted to Highly Compensated Employees.

Section 4. Supplemental Thrift Feature Account Benefits.

For any payroll period in which a Highly Compensated Employee’s DCMP Pay exceeds his or her Pay, a Benefit amount shall be credited to a Highly Compensated Employee’s Supplemental Thrift Feature Account for the Ongoing Plan no later than the end of the month following the Valuation Date that Company contributions are made to the Highly Compensated Employee’s Thrift Feature account, or would have been made to such account if the Highly Compensated Employee had received Company contributions under the Thrift Feature. The Benefit amount so credited shall equal 1.25% of the amount by which the Highly Compensated Employee’s DCMP Pay for that payroll period exceeds his or her Pay for that payroll period.

Section 4.1 Supplemental Thrift Feature Account Earnings

The Company shall periodically credit earnings, gains, and losses to a Participant’s Supplemental Thrift Feature Account, until the full balance of such Account has been distributed. Earnings, gains, and losses shall be credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Thrift Feature Account under this Section based on the results that would have been achieved had amounts credited to such Account been invested as soon as practicable after crediting into Investment Options selected by the Participant. The Plan Administrator shall specify procedures to allow Participants to make

 

-6-


elections as to the deemed investment of amounts newly credited to their Supplemental Thrift Feature Accounts, as well as the deemed investment of amounts previously credited to their Supplemental Thrift Feature Accounts. Nothing in this Section or otherwise in the Plan, however, will require the Company to actually invest any amounts in such Investment Options or otherwise.

Section 5. Supplemental Stock Savings Feature Account Benefits.

For each month in which a Semiannual or Supplemental Allocation (as defined in the Savings Plan) is made to a Highly Compensated Employee’s Stock Savings Feature Account, or would have been made to such account if the Highly Compensated Employee had received a Semiannual or Supplemental Allocation, a Benefit amount shall be credited to his or her Supplemental Stock Savings Feature Account. The Benefit amount to be credited shall be calculated in shares in the Company Stock Fund of this Plan and shall be equal to (i) the Highly Compensated Employee’s Supplemental Stock Savings Contributions during the applicable Allocation Period (as defined in the Savings Plan) multiplied by the applicable Allocation Ratio, divided by (ii) the share value for the Company Stock Fund of the Savings Plan on the applicable Allocation Date (as defined in the Savings Plan). This amount shall be credited no later than the end of the month following the Valuation Date that a Semiannual Allocation or Supplemental Allocation is made under the Stock Savings Feature, or would have been made had the Highly Compensated Employee received such a Semiannual Allocation or Supplemental Allocation under the Stock Savings Feature. A share in the Company Stock Fund of this Plan shall have a value equivalent to a share in the Company Stock Fund of the Savings Plan.

Section 5.1 Supplemental Stock Savings Feature Account Earnings

After being initially invested in the Company Stock Fund account, the amounts in the Participant’s Supplemental Stock Savings Feature Account shall thereafter be eligible to be invested in Investment Options selected by the Participant. The Company shall periodically

 

-7-


credit earnings, gains and losses to a Participant’s Supplemental Stock Savings Feature Account, until the full balance of such Account has been distributed. Earnings, gains, and losses shall be credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Stock Savings Feature Account under this Section based on the results that would have been achieved had amounts credited to such Account been invested as soon as practicable after crediting into the Company Stock Fund of this Plan or the Investment Options selected by the Participant. The Plan Administrator shall specify procedures to allow Participants to make elections as to the deemed investment of amounts previously credited to their Supplemental Stock Savings Feature Accounts. Nothing in this Section or otherwise in the Plan, however, will require the Company to actually invest any amounts in Stock or in such Investment Options or otherwise.

Section 6. Payment.

In the absence of an effective election under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, Benefits that a Participant is eligible to receive under the Ongoing Plan (and earnings, gains, and losses thereon) shall normally be paid in one lump sum payment on the date that is six months after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service. Furthermore, in the absence of an effective election under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, if the Participant dies prior to his or her Separation from Service, or after his or her Separation from Service but prior to the date that the Benefits which the Participant is eligible to receive under the Ongoing Plan (and earnings, gains, and losses thereon) commence to be paid, the Benefits that the Participant is eligible to receive under the Ongoing Plan (and earnings, gains, and losses thereon) shall be paid in one lump sum cash payment to the Participant’s Beneficiary on the date of the Participant’s death.

Section 6.1 Payment Election by Participant.

A Participant may elect on an Election Form delivered to the Plan Administrator at a time set by the Plan Administrator (which shall be prior to the beginning of the Plan Year) to have the amounts attributable to Benefits under the Ongoing Plan that are credited to his or her

 

-8-


Supplemental Thrift Feature Account (and earnings, gains, and losses thereon) with respect to such Plan Year and the amounts attributable to Benefits credited to his or her Supplemental Stock Savings Feature Account (and earnings, gains, and losses thereon) with respect to such Plan Year paid to the Participant in either:

 

(a) one lump sum payment, or

 

(b) annual, semi-annual, or quarterly installments, using a declining balance method, over a period ranging from one to fifteen years.

A Participant may elect to have payments commence as of the beginning of any calendar quarter that is at least one year after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, provided that no payment shall be made after the date that is twenty years after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service.

Section 6.2 Change in Time or Form of Payment.

A Participant may make an election to change the time or form of payment elected under Section 6.1 or the payment to be made under Section 6, but only if the following rules are satisfied:

 

  (a) The election to change the time or form of payment may not take effect until at least twelve months after the date on which such election is made;

 

  (b) Payment under such election may not be made earlier than at least five years from the date the payment would have otherwise been made or commenced;

 

  (c) Such payment may commence as of the beginning of any calendar quarter;

 

  (d) An election to receive payments in installments shall be treated as a single payment for purposes of these rules;

 

  (e) The election may not result in an impermissible acceleration of payment prohibited under Code section 409A;

 

-9-


  (f) No more than four such elections shall be permitted with respect to Benefits credited to a Participant’s Accounts for a Plan Year; and

 

  (g) No payment may be made after the date that is twenty (20) years after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service.

Section 6.3 Effect of Taxation.

If a portion of a Participant’s Benefit (and earnings, gains, and losses thereon) is includible in income under Code section 409A, such portion shall be distributed immediately to the Participant.

Section 7. Administration.

 

(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may delegate to employees of the Company or any member of the Controlled Group the authority to execute and deliver such instruments and documents, to do all such acts and things, and to take such other steps deemed necessary, advisable, or convenient for the effective administration of the Plan in accordance with its terms and purpose, except that the Plan Administrator may not delegate any discretionary authority with respect to substantive decisions or functions regarding the Plan or Benefits hereunder.

 

(b) Any claim for benefits hereunder shall be presented in writing to the Plan Administrator for consideration, grant, or denial. Claimants will be notified in writing of approved claims, which will be processed as claimed. A claim is considered approved only if its approval is communicated in writing to a claimant.

 

(c)

In the case of a denial of a claim respecting benefits paid or payable with respect to a Participant, a written notice will be furnished to the claimant within 90 days of the date on which the claim is received by the Plan Administrator. If special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require a longer period, the claimant will be notified in writing, prior to

 

-10-


  the expiration of the 90-day period, of the reasons for an extension of time; provided, however, that no extensions will be permitted beyond 90 days after the expiration of the initial 90-day period. A denial or partial denial of a claim will be dated and signed by the Plan Administrator and will clearly set forth:

 

  (1) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

 

  (2) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

 

  (3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

 

  (4) an explanation of the procedure for review of the denied or partially denied claim set forth below, including the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on review.

 

(d) Upon denial of a claim, in whole or in part, a claimant or his duly authorized representative will have the right to submit a written request to the Trustee for a full and fair review of the denied claim by filing a written notice of appeal with the Trustee within 60 days of the receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of the claim. A claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative will have, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits and may submit issues and comments in writing. The review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. If the claimant fails to file a request for review within 60 days of the denial notification, the claim will be deemed abandoned and the claimant precluded from reasserting it. If the claimant does file a request for review, his request must include a description of the issues and evidence he deems relevant. Failure to raise issues or present evidence on review will preclude those issues or evidence from being presented in any subsequent proceeding or judicial review of the claim.

 

-11-


(e) The Trustee will provide a prompt written decision on review. If the claim is denied on review, the decision shall set forth:

 

  (1) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination;

 

  (2) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the adverse determination is based;

 

  (3) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and

 

  (4) a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the claimant’s right to obtain the information about such procedures, as well as a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA section 502(a).

 

(f) A decision will be rendered no more than 60 days after the Trustee’s receipt of the request for review, except that such period may be extended for an additional 60 days if the Trustee determines that special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require such extension. If an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the claimant before the end of the initial 60-day period.

 

(g) To the extent permitted by law, decisions reached under the claims procedures set forth in this Section shall be final and binding on all parties. No legal action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the claimant has exhausted his remedies under this Section. In any such legal action, the claimant may only present evidence and theories which the claimant presented during the claims procedure. Any claims which the claimant does not in good faith pursue through the review stage of the procedure shall be treated as having been irrevocably waived. Judicial review of a claimant’s denied claim shall be limited to a determination of whether the denial was an abuse of discretion based on the evidence and theories the claimant presented during the claims procedure.

 

-12-


Section 8. Rights of Employees and Participants.

Nothing contained in the Plan (or in any other documents related to this Plan or to any Benefit) shall confer upon any Employee or Participant any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Company or any member of the Controlled Group or constitute any contract or limit in any way the right of the Company or any member of the Controlled Group to change such person’s compensation or other benefits or to terminate the employment of such person with or without cause.

Section 9. Awards in Foreign Countries.

The Board or its delegate shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures, and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Company or Participating Subsidiaries may operate to assure the viability of the Benefits of Participants employed in such countries and to meet the purpose of this Plan.

Section 10. Amendment and Termination.

The Board reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan at any time, and to delegate such authority as the Board deems necessary or desirable; provided that no member of the Board who is also a Participant shall participate in any action which has the actual or potential effect of increasing his or her Benefits hereunder; and further provided, the Company shall remain liable for any Benefits accrued under this Plan prior to the date of amendment or termination.

Section 11. Unfunded Plan.

All amounts payable under this Plan shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company and any rights accruing to a Participant under the Plan shall be those of a general creditor;

 

-13-


provided, however, that the Company may establish one or more grantor trusts to satisfy part or all of the Company’s Plan payment obligations so long as the Plan remains unfunded for purposes of sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA.

Section 12. Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

(a) No right or interest of a Participant under this Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise (excluding devolution upon death or mental incompetency).

 

(b) This Ongoing Plan applies to amounts that were earned or vested after December 31, 2004. The distribution of amounts that were earned and vested (within the meaning of Code section 409A and official guidance issued thereunder) under the Frozen Plan prior to January 1, 2005 (and earnings thereon), and are exempt from the requirements of Code section 409A, shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Frozen Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004.

 

(c) No amount accrued or payable hereunder shall be deemed to be a portion of an Employee’s compensation or earnings for the purpose of any other employee benefit plan adopted or maintained by the Company, nor shall this Plan be deemed to amend or modify the provisions of the Savings Plan.

 

(d) This Plan shall be construed, regulated, and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas except to the extent that said laws have been preempted by the laws of the United States.

 

(e) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan shall be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns, including but not limited to any corporation which may acquire all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business or with or into which the Company may be consolidated or merged.

 

-14-


(f) It is the intention of the Company that, so long as any of Phillips 66’s equity securities are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this Plan shall be operated in compliance with 16(b) and, if any Plan provision or transaction is found not to comply with Section 16(b), that provision or transaction, as the case may be, shall be deemed null and void ab initio . Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Company, in its absolute discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan to Participants who are officers and directors subject to Section 16(b) without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other Participants.

SECTION 13. Effective Date of the Plan.

Title II of the Phillips 66 Defined Contribution Make-Up Plan is hereby adopted effective as of the Effective Time and conditioned on the occurrence of the Distribution.

Executed this 24th day of April 2012, by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

APPENDIX A

CONOCOPHILLIPS SPIN-OFF

 

1. Background . Phillips 66 was a subsidiary of ConocoPhillips (“COP”) prior to the Distribution. As a result of the Distribution, COP distributed its interest in Phillips 66 to its shareholders.

As of the Effective Time, pursuant to an agreement between Phillips 66 and COP that was conditioned on the Distribution occurring, the liabilities for certain participants’ benefits under the Defined Contribution Make-Up Plan of ConocoPhillips (the “COP Plan”), including amounts grandfathered from Code section 409A (i.e., amounts deferred and vested prior to January 1, 2005), were transferred to the Company and to this Plan. The Participants whose benefits were transferred to this Plan on the Effective Time are referred to below as “COP Participants.” The rules in this Appendix shall apply to COP Participants and certain other Plan terms notwithstanding any Plan provisions to the contrary.

 

2. Plan Benefits . COP Participants who qualified as eligible employees under the COP Plan as of the Effective Time shall be eligible employees under this Plan on such date. All service and compensation that would be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of a COP Participant’s benefit under the COP Plan as of the Effective Time shall be taken into account for the same purposes under this Plan.

 

-16-


3. Distributions . The terms of this Plan shall govern the distribution of all benefits payable to a COP Participant or any other person with a right to receive such benefits, including amounts accrued under the COP Plan and then transferred to this Plan.

 

4. Separation from Service . For avoidance of doubt, no COP Participant shall be treated as incurring a separation from service, termination of employment, retirement, or similar event for purposes of determining the right to a distribution (for amounts subject to Code section 409A or otherwise), benefits, or any other purpose under the Plan as a result of COP’s distribution of Phillips 66 shares to COP’s shareholders or the COP Participant’s transfer of employment to the Company or any other subsidiary of Phillips 66.

 

5. Participant Elections . All elections made by COP Participants under the COP Plan, including any payment elections or beneficiary designations, shall apply to the same effect under this Plan as if made under the terms of this Plan.

 

6. References to Plan . All references in this Plan to the “Plan” as in effect before the Effective Time shall be read as references to the COP Plan as it was in effect at such time.

 

7.

Right to Benefits . With respect to any recordkeeping account established to determine a benefit provided or due under the COP Plan at any time, no benefit will be due under the Plan except with respect to the portion of such recordkeeping account reflecting the liability transferred from the COP Plan to the Plan on the Effective Time. Additionally,

 

-17-


  on and after the Effective Time, COP, any subsidiary of COP that remains a subsidiary after the Distribution (“COP Subsidiary”), the COP Plan, any directors, officers, or employees of COP or a COP Subsidiary, and any successors to any of the aforementioned entities or individuals shall have no further obligation or liability to any COP Participant with respect to any benefit, amount, or right due under the COP Plan.

 

8. Stock . As of the Distribution, any ConocoPhillips common stock (“COP Stock”) held in the Company Stock Fund shall be transferred to a separate Investment Option under this Plan that is accounted for as if investments were made in COP Stock, although no such actual investments need be made, with accounting entries being sufficient therefor. Investments in the COP Stock fund will be determined as of the Distribution. On and after the Distribution, a Participant will be allowed to hold or liquidate his or her deemed investment in COP Stock. No additional deemed investments in COP Stock will be allowed to be elected.

Exhibit 10.22

PHILLIPS 66

KEY EMPLOYEE CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE PLAN

The Phillips 66 Key Employee Change in Control Severance Plan (the “Plan”) is hereby adopted effective as of the “Effective Time” defined in the Employee Matters Agreement by and between ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 (the “Effective Time”) and conditioned on the occurrence of the “Distribution” defined in such Employee Matters Agreement (the “Distribution”).

Phillips 66 was a subsidiary of ConocoPhillips (“COP”) prior to the Distribution. As a result of the Distribution, COP distributed its interest in Phillips 66 to its shareholders. Certain employees of ConocoPhillips Company and other subsidiaries of COP whose employment duties were primarily related to the business activities of Phillips 66 and its subsidiaries transferred employment to Phillips 66 Company or other subsidiaries of Phillips 66 as of the Effective Time.

2.1 Subject to Section 2.9, each Severed Employee shall be entitled to receive Severance Pay equal to the sum of the amounts determined under Sections 2.1(a), (b), and (c). Furthermore, for purposes of Employer compensation plans, programs, and arrangements, each Severed Employee shall be considered to have been laid off by the Employer.

Present value shall be determined based on the assumptions utilized under the Phillips 66 Retirement Plan for purposes of determining contributions under Code Section 412 for the most recently completed plan year.

 

  (c) The amount that is equal to either (i) or (ii), as applicable, plus either (iii) or (iv), as applicable, plus (v), if applicable, plus (vi), if applicable:

 

  (i) If the Severed Employee was enrolled in company-sponsored medical coverage on the Severance Date, an amount equal to 6 times the difference between the COBRA participant contribution rate and the active employee contribution rate, each as of the Severance Date, for the type of coverage in which the Tier 2 Employee was enrolled.

 

  (ii) If the Severed Employee was not enrolled in company-sponsored medical coverage on the Severance Date, an amount equal to 18 times the difference between the COBRA participant contribution rate and the active employee contribution rate, each as of the Severance Date, for PPO medical coverage.

 

  (iii) If the Severed Employee was enrolled in company-sponsored dental coverage on the Severance Date, an amount equal to 6 times the difference between the COBRA participant contribution rate and the active employee contribution rate, each as of the Severance Date, for the type of coverage in which the Tier 2 Employee was enrolled.

 

11


  (iv) If the Severed Employee was not enrolled in company-sponsored dental coverage on the Severance Date, an amount equal to 18 times the difference between the COBRA participant contribution rate and the active employee contribution rate, each as of the Severance Date, for dental coverage (using the Phillips 66 dental option coverage).

 

  (v) In the case of a Tier 1 Employee, an amount equal to the sum of 6 times the COBRA participant contribution rate, as of the Severance Date, for PPO medical coverage plus 6 times the COBRA participant contribution rate, as of the Severance Date, for dental coverage (using the Phillips 66 dental option coverage).

 

  (vi) If any persons qualified as eligible dependents of the Severed Employee under the applicable company-sponsored medical or dental coverage in which the Severed Employee was enrolled on the Severance Date, an amount equal to the sum of the differences, for each such eligible dependent, between the COBRA eligible dependent contribution rate and the eligible dependent contribution rate for eligible dependents of active employees, each as of the Severance Date, for the medical and/or dental coverage in which the Severed Employee was enrolled on the Severance Date, as applicable, times the factor set forth in the applicable Section 2.1(c)(i) or (ii), (c)(iii) or (iv), and (c)(v); provided, that if the Severed Employee was not enrolled for medical or dental coverage, then the eligibility and amount for each dependent shall be determined as if the Severed Employee had been enrolled in the PPO medical coverage or dental coverage (using the Phillips 66dental option coverage), as applicable, on the Severance Date.

12


Severed Employee and his dependents had immediately prior to the Severed Employee's Severance Date. Only those dependents who were eligible for coverage on the Severed Employee's Severance Date may be covered thereafter, but no amendment to any plan or program providing these benefits made after the Severed Employee's Severance Date shall prevent eligibility for dependents who would otherwise have been eligible for coverage on the Severed Employee's Severance Date. These benefits will be provided at no greater cost to the Severed Employee than active employee rates for the plan year of coverage provided the benefits continue to be offered by the Company to active employees and the Severed Employee and his dependents meet the same eligibility criteria for the benefits as an active employee and dependents of an active employee. Depending on coverages prior to the Severed Employee’s Severance Date, these benefits could include the following, but do not include any other benefits offered by the Company: Life Insurance, which includes Basic, Executive Basic, Supplemental, and Dependent Life; and Personal Accident Insurance. Severed employees may also continue Executive Life directly through the vendor to be paid for by the Severed Employee. Nothing herein shall prevent a Severed Employee or eligible dependents of a Severed Employee from electing to receive COBRA continuation coverage of health benefits subject to COBRA, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the law and the applicable plans. While as an active employee the Severed Employee may have been able to make employee contributions or pay premiums for certain coverage through a pre-tax salary reduction arrangement, that will not continue after the Severed Employee's Severance Date. The cost of these benefits will not be adjusted to reflect that the Severed Employee's cost will no longer be pre-tax. All other active employee benefits, not specifically mentioned above, are excluded, although if any of the benefits specifically mentioned above are replaced with a similar benefit after the Severed Employee's Severance Date, such replacement benefits are to be considered as mentioned specifically above even though their names, terms, and conditions may have been changed. Such benefits shall not be provided (except to the extent as may be required by law) during any period when the Severed Employee is eligible to receive such benefits from another employer or from an Employer or if the Severed Employee has resumed working for an Employer. The Severed Employee is obligated to inform the Company when or if they become eligible to receive such benefits from another employer.

2.4 Upon Change in Control, each Eligible Employee shall immediately become fully vested in all outstanding equity awards and shall not thereafter be forfeitable for any reason (except that options shall expire and be cancelled ten years from the date of their grant). Any options granted to the Eligible Employee shall be exercisable at the times set forth in the applicable award documents. Each such option shall remain outstanding until ten years from the date of grant, notwithstanding any provision of the option grant or any plan under which the option may have been granted to the contrary.

 

13


The date of distribution of any stock or other value from such awards shall be as set forth in the applicable terms and conditions of the award.

 

2.5    (a)   Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any Payment to an Eligible Employee would be subject to the Excise Tax, then the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (the “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that, after payment by the Eligible Employee of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Eligible Employee retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5(a), if it shall be determined that an Eligible Employee is entitled to the Gross-Up Payment, but that the Parachute Value of all Payments does not exceed 110% of the Safe Harbor Amount, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to the Eligible Employee and the amounts payable under this Plan shall be reduced so that the Parachute Value of all Payments, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount. The reduction of the amounts payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing the payments under Section 2.1, unless an alternative method of reduction is elected by the Eligible Employee, and in any event shall be made in such a manner as to maximize the Value of all Payments actually made to the Eligible Employee. For purposes of reducing the Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, only amounts payable under this Plan (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. If the reduction of the amount payable under this Plan to an Eligible Employee would not result in a reduction of the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, no amounts payable to the Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be reduced pursuant to this Section 2.5(a). The Company’s obligation to make Gross-Up Payments to an Eligible Employee under this Section 2.5 shall not be conditioned upon the Eligible Employee’s termination of employment.
   (b)   Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 2.5, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm designated by the Plan Administrator (the “Accounting Firm”). The

 

 

 

14


      Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and each Eligible Employee Eligible Employee within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Eligible Employee that there has been a Payment or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, shall be paid by the Company to the Eligible Employee within 5 days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Eligible Employee. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments that will not have been made by the Company should have been made (the “Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 2.5(c) and the Eligible Employee thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Eligible Employee.
   (c)    As a condition to being entitled to Gross-Up Payment hereunder, each Eligible Employee shall be required to notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable, but no later than 10 business days after the Eligible Employee is informed in writing of such claim. The Eligible Employee shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Eligible Employee shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which the Eligible Employee gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Eligible Employee in writing prior to the expiration of such period that the Company desires to contest such claim, the Eligible Employee shall:
     

(i)     give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,

 

15


     

(ii)      take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,

     

(iii)  cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and

     

(iv)   permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim;

      provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest, and shall indemnify and hold the Eligible Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest, and, at its sole discretion, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the applicable taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole discretion, either direct the Eligible Employee to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Eligible Employee agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that, if the Company directs the Eligible Employee to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall make such payment and shall indemnify and hold the Eligible Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties) imposed with respect to such payment or with respect to any imputed income in connection with such payment; and provided, further, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Eligible Employee with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which the Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder, and the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

 

16


   (d)    If, after the Company has made a Gross-Up Payment or a payment pursuant to Section 2.5(c), an Eligible Employee becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to the Excise Tax to which such Gross-Up Payment relates or with respect to the claim to which such payment relates, the Eligible Employee shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 2.5(c), if applicable) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the Company has paid any amount pursuant to Section 2.5(c), a determination is made that the Eligible Employee shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Eligible Employee in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then the amount of such payment shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.
   (e)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.5, the Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or any other applicable taxing authority, for the benefit of any Eligible Employee, all or any portion of any Gross-Up Payment, and each Eligible Employee shall be required to consent to such withholding as a condition to being entitled to any Gross-Up Payment.

2.6 Each Severed Employee shall be entitled to receive the employee’s full salary through the Severance Date and, subject to Section 2.9 but notwithstanding any provision of the Company’s Variable Cash Incentive Program or similar annual bonus incentive plan to the contrary, shall be eligible for consideration for an award under such program or plan when awards are made with regard to the fiscal year under such program or plan in which the Severance Date occurred.

2.7 The Company will pay to each Eligible Employee all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by such Eligible Employee in pursuing any claim under the Plan, unless the applicable finder of fact determines that the Eligible Employee’s claim was frivolous or not maintained in good faith.

2.8 The Company shall be entitled to withhold and/or to cause to be withheld from amounts to be paid to the Severed Employee hereunder any federal, state, or local withholding or other taxes or charges which it is from time to time required to withhold.

 

17


2.9 No Severed Employee shall be eligible to receive Severance Pay or other benefits under the Plan unless he or she first executes a written release substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (or, if the Severed Employee was not a United States employee, a similar release which is in accordance with the applicable laws in the relevant jurisdiction) and, to the extent such release is revocable by its terms, only if the Severed Employee does not revoke it. Such release must be executed and delivered to the Company within 30 days of the Employee’s Severance Date.

SECTION 3. PLAN ADMINISTRATION .

3.1 The Plan Administrator shall administer the Plan and may interpret the Plan, prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations under the Plan and make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, subject to all of the provisions of the Plan.

3.2 Claims Procedures . Any claim for benefits hereunder shall be presented in writing to the Plan Administrator for consideration, grant, or denial. Claimants will be notified in writing of approved claims, which will be processed as claimed. A claim is considered approved only if its approval is communicated in writing to a claimant.

 

  (a) In the case of a denial of a claim respecting benefits paid or payable with respect to a Participant, a written notice will be furnished to the claimant within 90 days of the date on which the claim is received by the Plan Administrator. If special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require a longer period, the claimant will be notified in writing, prior to the expiration of the 90-day period, of the reasons for an extension of time; provided, however, that no extensions will be permitted beyond 90 days after the expiration of the initial 90-day period. A denial or partial denial of a claim will be dated and signed by the Plan Administrator and will clearly set forth:

 

  (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

 

  (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

 

  (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

 

  (iv) an explanation of the procedure for review of the denied or partially denied claim set forth below.

 

18


  (b) Upon denial of a claim, in whole or in part, a claimant or his duly authorized representative will have the right to submit a written request to a committee of individuals established by the Board (the "Claims Committee") for a full and fair review of the denied claim by filing a written notice of appeal with the Claims Committee within 60 days of the receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of the claim. A claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative will have, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits and may submit issues and comments in writing. The review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. If the claimant fails to file a request for review within 60 days of the denial notification, the claim will be deemed abandoned and the claimant precluded from reasserting it. If the claimant does file a request for review, his request must include a description of the issues and evidence he deems relevant. Failure to raise issues or present evidence on review will preclude those issues or evidence from being presented in any subsequent proceeding or judicial review of the claim.

 

  (c) The Claims Committee will provide a prompt written decision on review. If the claim is denied on review, the decision shall set forth:

 

  (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination;

 

  (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the adverse determination is based;

 

  (iii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and

 

  (iv) a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the claimant’s right to obtain the information about such procedures.

 

  (d) A decision will be rendered no more than 60 days after the Claims Committee’s receipt of the request for review, except that such period may be extended for an additional 60 days if the Claims Committee determines that special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require such extension. If an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the claimant before the end of the initial 60-day period.

 

19


  (e) To the extent permitted by law, decisions reached under the claims procedures set forth in this Section shall be final and binding on all parties. No legal action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the claimant has exhausted his remedies under this Section. In any such legal action, the claimant may only present evidence and theories which the claimant presented during the claims procedure. Any claims which the claimant does not in good faith pursue through the review stage of the procedure shall be treated as having been irrevocably waived. Judicial review of a claimant’s denied claim shall be limited to a determination of whether the denial was an abuse of discretion based on the evidence and theories the claimant presented during the claims procedure.

 

  (f) Except as provided in the preceding portion of this Section 3.2, all disputes under this Plan shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration in Houston, Texas, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction.

3.3 The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its duties hereunder to such person or persons from time to time as it may designate.

3.4 The Plan Administrator is empowered, on behalf of the Plan, to engage accountants, legal counsel, and such other personnel as it deems necessary or advisable to assist it in the performance of its duties under the Plan. The functions of any such persons engaged by the Plan Administrator shall be limited to the specified services and duties for which they are engaged, and such persons shall have no other duties, obligations or responsibilities under the Plan. Such persons shall exercise no discretionary authority or discretionary control respecting the management of the Plan. All reasonable expenses thereof shall be borne by the Employer.

SECTION 4. DURATION; AMENDMENT; AND TERMINATION .

4.1 This Plan shall be effective on the Effective Date. If a Change in Control has not occurred, this Plan shall continue in effect unless and until it is terminated as provided in Section 4.2. If a Change in Control occurs, this Plan shall continue in full force and effect and shall not terminate or expire until after all Eligible Employees who become or may become entitled to any payments hereunder shall have received such payments in full and all adjustments required to be made pursuant to Section 2 have been made.

 

20


4.2    (a)   If a Change in Control has not occurred, this Plan may be amended from time to time during its term by the Company
acting through its Board of Directors or, to the extent authorized by the Board of Directors, its officers, provided that any
such amendment which shall in any manner reduce, diminish, or otherwise adversely affect any benefit which is or may at
any time in the future become payable hereunder, or any such amendment which shall alter the definition of Change in
Control shall be made effective not less than two years after the action of the Company authorizing such amendment,
unless, and then only to the extent that such amendment is or becomes necessary in order to assure continued compliance
by this Plan with any applicable state or federal law or regulation.
   (b)   The Company may, by action of its Board of Directors, terminate this Plan, provided, however, that the effective date of such termination shall be not less than two years from the date of such Board action. Provided further that in the event a Change in Control shall occur prior to the effective date of termination, the provisions of Section 4.2(c) shall apply.
   (c)   If a Change in Control shall occur while this Plan is in effect, no then-pending amendment or termination shall take effect, this Plan shall remain in full force and effect as at the Change in Control, and this Plan shall terminate automatically without further action on behalf of the Company immediately following the making of all payments to Eligible Employees under this Plan.

SECTION 5. GENERAL PROVISIONS .

5.1 Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, or in any manner; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Eligible Employee. When a payment is due under this Plan to a Severed Employee who is unable to care for his or her affairs, payment may be made directly to his or her legal guardian or personal representative.

 

21


5.2 If any Employer is obligated by law or by contract to pay severance pay, a termination indemnity, notice pay, or the like, to a Severed Employee, or if any Employer is obligated by law to provide advance notice of separation (“Notice Period”) to a Severed Employee, then any Severance Pay hereunder to such Severed Employee shall be reduced by the amount of any such severance pay, termination indemnity, notice pay, or the like, as applicable, and by the amount of any compensation received during any Notice Period. This provision specifically includes any payments or obligations under the Phillips 66 Severance Pay Plan, or under the Phillips 66 Executive Severance Plan. Furthermore, if an Eligible Employee has willful and bad faith conduct demonstrably injurious to Company or its Subsidiaries, monetarily or otherwise, after receiving Severance Pay, the Company may offset an amount equal to such Severance Pay against any other amounts due from other plans or programs, unless otherwise required by law.

5.3 Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust, or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Eligible Employee, or any person whomsoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Employer, and all Eligible Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.

5.4 If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

5.5 This Plan shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of the parties, including each Eligible Employee, present and future, and any successor to the Employer.

5.6 The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.

5.7 The Plan shall not be funded. No Eligible Employee shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of any Employer that may be applied by the Employer to the payment of benefits or other rights under this Plan.

5.8 Any notice or other communication required or permitted pursuant to the terms hereof shall have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States Mail, first-class, postage prepaid, addressed to the intended recipient at his, her or its last known address.

 

22


5.9 This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Delaware.

The Plan is hereby adopted effective as of the Effective Time and conditioned on the occurrence of the Distribution.

Executed this 24th day of April 2012, by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

In consideration of, and subject to, the payments to be made to me by Phillips 66, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) or any of its subsidiaries, pursuant to the Phillips 66 Key Employee Change in Control Severance Plan (the “Plan”), which I acknowledge that I would not otherwise be entitled to receive, I hereby waive any claims I may have for employment or re-employment by the Company or any subsidiary or parent of the Company after the date hereof, and I further agree to and do release and forever discharge the Company or any subsidiary or parent of the Company, and their respective past and present officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and agents from any and all claims and causes of action, known or unknown, arising out of or relating to my employment with the Company or any subsidiary or parent of the Company, or the termination thereof, including, but not limited to, wrongful discharge, breach of contract, tort, fraud, the Civil Rights Acts, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, or any other federal, state, or local legislation or common law relating to employment or discrimination in employment or otherwise.

Exhibit 10.23

Annex to the Phillips 66

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Arrangements

Preamble .

Phillips 66 was a subsidiary of ConocoPhillips (“COP”) prior to the Distribution defined in the Employee Matters Agreement by and between ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 (the “Distribution”). As a result of the Distribution, COP distributed its interest in Phillips 66 to its shareholders.

As of the Effective Time defined in the Employee Matters Agreement by and between ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to an agreement between Phillips 66 and COP that was conditioned on the Distribution occurring, the liabilities for certain participants’ benefits under the nonqualified plans of COP, including amounts grandfathered from Code section 409A (i.e., amounts deferred and vested prior to January 1, 2005), were transferred to the Company and to respective mirror plans established by the Company. This Annex applies to all such plans established by the Company or any other member of Phillips 66 controlled group, as well as such other arrangements as described below.

Phillips 66 is a Delaware corporation which has publicly traded stock. Phillips 66, while having its headquarters and substantial operations, assets, and employees in the United States, operates through numerous subsidiaries throughout the world, some of which have, or have had, services performed by directors, officers, employees, and independent contractor personnel. In some instances, compensation for services performed may include nonqualified deferred compensation plans as that term is defined in section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations issued thereunder. The purpose of this Annex is to add certain provisions to any nonqualified deferred compensation plan to which section 409A applies so as to make such plan compliant with the provisions of the law. In the event that the provisions herein conflict with provisions in a written plan document governing a particular arrangement to which section 409A applies, the provisions herein shall apply, but only to the extent necessary to comply with section 409A. Even in situations where an arrangement is unwritten, the provisions herein shall apply. Likewise, in situations where an arrangement generally falls outside of the scope of section 409A, but due to particular circumstances or conditions the arrangement becomes subject to section 409A, the provisions herein shall apply, but only to the extent necessary to comply with section 409A. The provisions herein shall not apply to any arrangements that existed prior to the effective dates of section 409A and were grandfathered under section 409A so that the provisions of section 409A do not apply to such arrangements; provided, however, that in the event such an arrangement becomes subject to section 409A, for instance, through a material amendment (as that term is used in the regulations), then the provisions herein shall apply to such arrangement, but only to the extent necessary to comply with section 409A. The provisions herein shall apply only to nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements maintained or sponsored by Phillips 66 or any member of its controlled group (as hereinafter defined).

Section 2. Substitution of Language .

Wherever in a particular document relating to an NQDC Arrangement the phrases “as soon as practicable,” “as soon as possible,” or the like is used, it is hereby excised. Instead, the date of the related event or date or time otherwise specified in the document shall be set as the relevant date or time for an action to be performed or a determination to be made. Participants shall have no right to complain or make a claim about an action or determination, including any payment due, that is to be made on a specified date or time if the action or determination is made no earlier than 30 days prior to the specified date, time, or event and no later than the end of the calendar year in which such specified date, time, or event falls (or, if later, by the 15 th day of the third calendar month following the specified date, time, or event).

Section 3. No Suspension of Payments .

In the event that a particular NQDC Arrangement provides that there will be a suspension of any payment obligation upon the rehire of a former Employee on or after January 1, 2005, such provision shall be given no force or effect and payment obligations shall be made as if the former Employee had not been rehired.

Section 4. Payments to Specified Employees Due to Separation from Service .

In the event that a payment from an NQDC Arrangement is payable to an Employee due to a Separation from Service and the Employee is a Specified Employee on the date of Separation from Service, no payment may be made to such Specified Employee from the NQDC Arrangement before the date that is six months after the date of Separation from Service or, if earlier, the date of death; provided, however, that this does not apply to payments that are excepted pursuant to the last sentence of section 1.409A-3(i)(2)(i) of the regulations issued under section 409A of the Code.

Section 5. Modification of Single Trigger Payments .

In the event that an NQDC Arrangement provides for payment due to a Change of Control, Change in Control, or similar term as defined in the NQDC Arrangement, then the definition of Change of Control, Change in Control, or similar term in the NQDC Arrangement shall be replaced in determining whether such payment is due and shall have the same meaning as the term “change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation” under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to payments made due to another reason, such as Separation from Service or death, following the change event.

Section 6. International Plans and Employees .

In the event that an Employee who is a taxpayer subject to the Code becomes a Participant in an International NQDC Arrangement, then, to the extent that no exceptions or exclusions apply to prevent taxation pursuant to section 409A of the Code of the benefits under that International NQDC Arrangement, the Employee shall have the right to elect payment of the amount of the benefits earned or vested under that International NQDC Arrangement that are in excess of the exceptions or exclusions from application of section 409A of the Code. Such payment, if elected, shall be made on December 31 of the year in which such benefits accrue.

Section 7. Compliance with Code Section 409A .

It is intended that the NQDC Arrangements comply with section 409A of the Code and any regulations, guidance and transitional rules issued thereunder, and the NQDC Arrangements shall be interpreted and operated consistently with that intent. If any person with authority to interpret an NQDC Arrangement shall determine that any provisions of the NQDC Arrangement do not comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, such person shall inform the person having authority to amend the NQDC Arrangement who may amend the NQDC Arrangement in any respect it deems necessary (including retroactively) in order to preserve compliance with said section 409A; provided, however, that any such amendment affecting amounts previously deferred under the NQDC Arrangement shall be made in a manner that seeks to preserve the economic value of such deferred amounts to the Participant.

This Annex to the Phillips 66 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Arrangements is hereby adopted effective as of the “Effective Time” and conditioned on the occurrence of the “Distribution” as those terms are defined in the Employee Matters Agreement by and between ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66.

Executed this 24th day of April 2012, by a duly authorized officer of the Company.
