Annual Performance Incentive Plan

 

Participation in this plan is determined by the Compensation Committee.

 

Target payout is 50% of participant’s annual salary on the last day of the performance period.

 

PXP performance will be measured against the performance of the following index to determine the payout.

 

  S&P Oil & Gas E&P (SPSIOP)

 

The performance period will be the prior calendar year.

 

Performance will be measured from the closing price on the last trading day of the year proceeding the performance period, through the last trading day of the performance period.

 

PXP’s stock performance will be stated in percentage of change in price over the performance period.

 

  For example: Stock closes at 40.00 on 12/30/11 and has a closing price of 44.00 on 12/30/12. The percentage change is 10%.

 

Index performance will be stated in percent change in price over the performance period.

 

  For example: S&P Oil & Gas E&P index closes at 7,000.00 on 12/30/11 and has a closing price of 8,400.00 on 12/30/12. The percentage change is 20%.
