Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Vested PSUs will only become eligible for payment on the Vesting Date (defined in paragraph 3 below), subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Plan and this Agreement (including, without limitation, paragraph 9 below).

The number of PSUs that may become Vested PSUs (and the Eligible PSU Amount payable in connection therewith) on the Vesting Date shall be determined by the Committee and the Board following the Performance Period, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

2. Performance Period:

The Performance Period for PSUs granted to You hereunder shall be January 1, 20●   to December 31, 20●   (the “Performance Period”).

3. Vesting Date:

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Vesting Date shall be the later of: (i) the applicable third Anniversary Date following the Grant Date; and (ii) the first Committee Meeting Date immediately following the end of the Performance Period and, in any event, shall be prior to December 31 of the calendar year in which the third Anniversary Date occurs.

4. Performance Criteria:

The Performance Criteria used to determine the extent (if any), of vesting of PSUs granted hereunder shall consist of the following:

• Relative Total Shareholder Return (“RTSR”) (50 percent); and

• Strategic PSU Performance Measures (50 percent), consisting of the following:

• Margin Growth (20%)

• Balance Sheet Strength (20%)

• Portfolio (10%) (collectively, the “PSU Performance Measures”)

In respect of RTSR, the Corporation’s performance will be compared to the PSU Performance Peer Group (defined in paragraph 5 below), as measured over the Performance Period.

RTSR shall reflect a relative ranking of the Corporation’s Compound Annual Growth Rate in equity market value over the Performance Period (“CAGR”) as compared to the CAGR of each respective member of the PSU Performance Peer Group over the same period, arranged in ascending order. For purposes of determining CAGR for the Corporation and each PSU Performance Peer Group member during the Performance Period (or otherwise), the following calculation shall be performed:

				CAGR = 100 x [(B ÷ A)^.3333 -1], where:
A		=		Commencement Adjusted Share Price: calculated as the average closing price of a share (or in the case of the Corporation, a Share) on the New York Stock Exchange over the thirty (30) calendar days immediately prior to the commencement of the Performance Period (as defined in paragraph 8 below); and

A-1

B = End Adjusted Share Price: calculated as the average closing price of a share, adjusted for dividends paid during the Performance Period, (or in the case of the Corporation, a Share) on the New York Stock Exchange over the thirty (30) calendar days immediately prior to and including the last day of the Performance Period.

In respect of the PSU Performance Measures, the Corporation’s performance shall be assessed by the Committee and the Board, as applicable, at the conclusion of the Performance Period.

For purposes of this Agreement, RTSR and the PSU Performance Measures shall be collectively referred to as the “Performance Criteria”.

5. PSU Performance Peer Group:

In respect of RTSR, the Corporation’s achievement of the Performance Criteria shall be measured in relation to the following PSU Performance Peer Group, as may be determined, amended and approved by the Committee or the Board, as applicable from time to time. In respect of the Performance Period, the initial PSU Performance Peer Group shall be as follows:

Antero Resources Corp.		EP Energy Corp.
Cabot Oil & Gas Corp.		Xxxx Corporation
Baytex Energy Corp.		Marathon Oil Corp.
Continental Resources Inc.		Xxxxxx Oil Corp.
Apache Corp.		Newfield Exploration Corp.
Enerplus Corp.		Noble Energy Inc.
Devon Energy Corp.		Pengrowth Energy Corporation
Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.		Penn West Petroleum Ltd.
Concho Resources Inc.		Pioneer Natural Resources Co.
Chesapeake Energy Corp.		Range Resources Corp.
Anadarko Petroleum Corp.		Southwestern Energy Co.
Crescent Point Energy Corp.		Vermilion Energy Inc.
EOG Resources Inc.		Xxxxxxx Petroleum Co.

The Committee or the Board, as applicable, may, in its discretion, amend or modify the PSU Performance Peer Group during the Performance Period (including, without limitation by removing or adding a new member) including, without limitation, in the event any member ceases, in the sole discretion of the Committee or the Board, as applicable, to constitute a suitable member of the PSU Performance Peer Group.

6. Achieved Performance Criteria:

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board, as applicable, the Performance Criteria shall be calculated by the Corporation prior to the Vesting Date, following the end of the Performance Period.

At the Committee Meeting Date immediately following the Performance Period, the Committee shall evaluate the Corporation’s achievement of the Performance Criteria during the Performance Period.

In respect of RTSR, such assessment shall be relative to the corresponding performance of the PSU Performance Peer Group during the same period. In respect of the PSU Performance Criteria, such assessment shall be relative to criteria as may be determined by the Board or the Committee, as

A-2

applicable. Based on such evaluation, the Committee or the Board, as applicable, shall determine whether and the extent to which PSUs hereunder may become Eligible PSUs.

For purposes of RTSR, the Corporation’s CAGR during the Performance Period shall be measured against the CAGR of members of the PSU Performance Peer Group, calculated at the 90^th, 75^th, 50^th and 25^th percentiles, as reflected in the table below.

20●     PSU Grant: Performance/Payout Matrix:

Relative TSR Performance Thresholds
Ranking of Corporation’s CAGR Relative to PSU Performance Peer Group		Performance Payout Factor
P90 and Above			200	%
P75			150	%
P50			100	%
P25			50	%
Below P25			0	%

For greater certainty, the maximum Performance Payout Factor for the Performance Period is 200%, which may be applied by the Committee or the Board, as applicable, to an Achieved Performance Criteria at or above P90 (or the 90^th percentile) of the PSU Performance Peer Group.

Achieved Performance Criteria between the respective 3 Year Target Percentiles above shall be calculated on a linear basis, as follows:

• P25 (or 25^th percentile) but less than P50 (or 50^th percentile) represents a Performance Payout Factor of 50 – 99%;

• P50 (or 50^th percentile) but less than P75 (or 75^th percentile) represents Performance Payout Factor of 100 – 149%;

• P75 (or 75^th percentile) but less than P90 (or 90^th percentile) represents a Performance Payout Factor of 150 – 199%;

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board, as applicable, in its discretion, Achieved Performance Criteria below P25 (or the 25^th percentile) will result in no PSUs granted hereunder becoming Eligible PSUs in respect of the Performance Period.

The Corporation’s performance relative to the PSU Performance Measures over the Performance Period shall be assessed and determined by the Committee or the Board, as applicable. Based on such evaluation, the Committee or the Board, as applicable, shall determine whether and the extent to which PSUs hereunder may become Eligible PSUs.

Following upon approval by the Committee or the Board, as applicable, such approved Performance Criteria shall constitute the “Achieved Performance Criteria” in respect of PSUs granted hereunder.

7. Commencement Adjusted Share Price:

The Commencement Adjusted Share Price for the Corporation for the Performance Period shall be $●     USD.

8. Dividend Equivalent PSUs:

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, where cash dividends are paid by the Corporation on the Shares between the Grant Date and the Committee Meeting Date in respect of the Performance Period, the Corporation shall notionally credit additional Dividend Equivalent PSUs to the Participant’s PSU Account.

The number of such Dividend Equivalent PSUs (including fractional PSUs) to be credited in respect of each dividend record date will be calculated by dividing the cash dividends that would have been paid to the Participant if the corresponding PSUs applicable to the Performance Period had been Shares held by the Participant on such dividend record date, by the closing price per Share on the applicable Stock Exchange on the immediately preceding Trading Day of the dividend payment date for such cash dividends. The number and/or value of such Dividend Equivalent PSUs (as applicable) shall be determined by the Corporation prior to the Vesting Date relative to any Vested PSUs applicable to the Performance Period. Where applicable, Dividend Equivalent PSUs shall vest and be paid at the same time as the Vested PSUs to which they relate.

9. Eligible PSU Amount:

Following approval of the Achieved Performance Criteria, the Eligible PSU Amount in respect of each Participant shall be calculated by the Corporation in accordance with Section 7.4 of the Plan. The Eligible PSU Amount shall be equal to the number of Eligible PSUs relating to the Performance Period, including any Dividend Equivalent PSUs in respect of same, rounded up to the nearest whole number of Eligible PSUs.

Once determined, Eligible PSUs shall be converted to a cash equivalent (based on the Participant’s payroll currency) by multiplying the number of Eligible PSUs by the volume weighted average (rounded to two decimal places) trading price of a Share on the Participant’s applicable Stock Exchange over the five (5) Trading Days immediately following the Committee Meeting Date, held to determine the vesting eligibility of PSUs granted hereunder, subject to any Blackout Period (the “Eligible PSU Amount”).

10. Eligible PSU Amount Payment:

Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, following the Vesting Date, the Participant shall be eligible to receive a payment representing the Participant’s Eligible PSU Amount for the Performance Period. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement, such payment shall be distributed to the Participant or, where applicable, the Participant’s legal representative, as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date and, in any event, prior to December 31 of calendar year following the calendar year in which third Anniversary Date occurs.

• the Executive received Incentive-Based Compensation referable to the financial years subject to the Restatement in excess of what the Executive would have been paid under the Restatement (the “Overcompensation Amount”); and

If Applicable Rules require the Corporation to adopt a policy or provisions relating to the recoupment or recovery of incentive-based or other compensation based on restated financial statements which are inconsistent with or materially differ from this Policy and the Board adopts such policy or provisions to comply with Applicable Rules (the “New Policy”), such New Policy shall replace and supersede this Policy and shall apply to Incentive-Based Compensation granted or awarded to the Executive following the effective date of the New Policy. Subject to Applicable Rules, this Policy shall continue to apply to Incentive-Based Compensation granted or awarded to the Executive prior to the effective date of the New Policy. This Policy may be terminated at any time by the Board.
