Exhibit 10.30

Annex to
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Arrangements of
ConocoPhillips

Preamble.

ConocoPhillips is a Delaware corporation which has publicly traded stock. ConocoPhillips, 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with provisions in a written plan document governing a particular arrangement, then the provision herein shall be superseded by the conflicting provision in such document, but only to the extent of such conflict. 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 ConocoPhillips or any member of its controlled group (as hereinafter defined).
