                Compensation</font>. On December 31, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the
                Board of Directors of the Company and Mr. Bob R. Simpson, Chairman
                and Chief
                Executive Officer of the Company, amended Mr. Simpson&#8217;s Employment Agreement,
                dated May 16, 2006 and the Amended and Restated Agreement with Mr.
                Simpson dated
                October 15, 2004, as amended November 21, 2006, relating to payments
                to Mr.
                Simpson upon a change in control based on the value of the Company&#8217;s common
                stock (&#8220;change in control grant agreement&#8221;). The amendments eliminate the
                requirement that the Company provide a gross-up payment to Mr. Simpson
                in
                connection with any excise tax and to provide that the total aggregate
                payments

                grant
                agreement and the Second Amended and Restated XTO Energy Inc. Management
                Group
                Employee Severance Protection Plan that are contingent on a change
                in control be

                of the
                excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. Prior
                to the
                amendments, the agreements and severance plan each provided for a
                gross up of
                the amount payable to Mr. Simpson to ensure that he would receive
                the full
                amount due under the terms of the employment agreement, change in
                control grant
                agreement and severance plan after payment of any excise tax imposed

Executive
                Compensation
. On December 31, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the
                Board of Directors of the Company and Mr. Bob R. Simpson, Chairman
                and Chief
                Executive Officer of the Company, amended Mr. Simpson's Employment Agreement,
                dated May 16, 2006 and the Amended and Restated Agreement with Mr.
                Simpson dated
                October 15, 2004, as amended November 21, 2006, relating to payments
                to Mr.
                Simpson upon a change in control based on the value of the Company's common
                stock ("change in control grant agreement"). The amendments eliminate the
                requirement that the Company provide a gross-up payment to Mr. Simpson
                in
                connection with any excise tax and to provide that the total aggregate
                payments
                to be made to him under the employment agreement, the change in control
                grant
                agreement and the Second Amended and Restated XTO Energy Inc. Management
                Group
                Employee Severance Protection Plan that are contingent on a change
                in control be
                reduced to the maximum amount that can be paid without the imposition
                of the
                excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. Prior
                to the
                amendments, the agreements and severance plan each provided for a
                gross up of
                the amount payable to Mr. Simpson to ensure that he would receive
                the full
                amount due under the terms of the employment agreement, change in
                control grant
                agreement and severance plan after payment of any excise tax imposed
                by Section
                4999 of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with a change in
                control. Copies
                of the amendments are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this
                Current Report
                on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Subject
                to the cap on payments described above, if a change in control occurs,
                Mr.
                Simpson will receive a severance payment of three times (i) the sum
                of his
                regular salary and annual bonus amount based on the greater of his
                last two
                semi-annual bonuses, plus (ii) his annual car allowance, plus (iii)
                the amount
                of any special bonus received in the prior three years, plus an additional
                cash
                payment equivalent to the fair market value upon a change in control
                of 833,334
                shares of common stock (as adjusted for the five-for-four stock split
                effected
                on December 13, 2007), subject to adjustment.
