(6) Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, this option, which provided for 100% vesting immediately at the date of grant (April 7, 1999), ceased to represent a right to acquire shares of common stock of the Issuer and thereafter constituted a fully vested option to purchase 2,885 shares of ConocoPhillips common stock with an exercise price of $13.4528 per share.
(7) Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, this option, which provided for 100% vesting immediately at the date of grant (April 19, 2000), ceased to represent a right to acquire shares of common stock of the Issuer and thereafter constituted a fully vested option to purchase 5,770 shares of ConocoPhillips common stock with an exercise price of $13.2036 per share.

(9) Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, this option, which provided for 100% vesting immediately at the date of grant (April 17, 2002), ceased to represent a right to acquire shares of common stock of the Issuer and thereafter constituted a fully vested option to purchase 5,770 shares of ConocoPhillips common stock with an exercise price of $14.4415 per share.
(10) Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, this option, which provided for 100% vesting immediately at the date of grant (April 23, 2003), ceased to represent a right to acquire shares of common stock of the Issuer and thereafter constituted a fully vested option to purchase 5,770 shares of ConocoPhillips common stock with an exercise price of $16.6528 per share.
