SOUTHWESTERN ENERGY COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (“Southwestern”), has on
this [___] day of [_____________], [____] (the “Award Date”) granted to
[_______________] (the “Participant”) a Restricted Stock Unit Award with respect
to shares of Southwestern’s Common Stock ($0.01 par value) (the “Award”). This
Award is subject to the terms of this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the
“Agreement”) and is made pursuant to the Southwestern Energy Company 2013
Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Plan”), which is incorporated into this
Agreement by reference. Any capitalized terms used herein that are otherwise
undefined shall have the meaning provided in the Plan.
1.Acceptance of Terms and Conditions. By acknowledging and accepting this Award,
the Participant agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Plan (including, without limitation, Section 12 of the Plan) and
all conditions established by Southwestern in connection with Awards issued
under the Plan, and the Participant further acknowledges and agrees that this
Award does not confer any legal or equitable right (other than those rights
constituting the Award itself) against Southwestern or any Subsidiary
(collectively, the “Company”), directly or indirectly, or give rise to any cause
of action at law or in equity against the Company. To vest in the Restricted
Stock Units (“RSUs”) described in this Agreement, the Participant must accept
this Award. If the Participant fails to accept this Award prior to the date on
which the Award vests under this Agreement, the Award will be cancelled and
forfeited.

2.Grant. Subject to the restrictions, limitations, terms and conditions
specified in the Plan and this Agreement, effective as of the Award Date,
Southwestern hereby grants the Participant [______] RSUs.

3.Deferral Election. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the
Plan, in the event that the Participant has previously made a valid election to
defer receipt of all or any portion of this Award in accordance with the terms
of the Southwestern Energy Company Nonemployee Director Deferred Compensation
Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), the RSUs shall be reflected as a credit
to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account (as defined in the Deferred Compensation
Plan) in accordance with the Deferred Compensation Plan and shall be subject to
all of the terms and conditions of the Deferred Compensation Plan.

4.Dividend Equivalents. Each RSU granted hereunder is hereby granted in tandem
with a corresponding dividend equivalent right, which dividend equivalent right
shall entitle the Participant to credits of Additional Restricted Stock Units
(as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan) to the Participant’s Stock Unit
Account in accordance with Section 6.4(a) of the Deferred Compensation Plan.

5.Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement,
the RSUs will fully vest on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the

Date, subject to the Participant’s continued service on the Board.

6.Settlement of RSUs. In settlement of the RSUs, Southwestern will issue and
deliver to the Participant one share of Common Stock with respect to each vested
RSU at the time(s) set forth in the Deferred Compensation Plan and the
Participant’s applicable deferral election thereunder.

7.Discontinuance of Participant’s Term.

(a)Expiration or Discontinuation of Participant’s Term on the Board. Subject to
Sections 7(b) and (c) below, if the term of the Participant’s membership on the
Board expires or is discontinued for any reason, then the unvested RSUs shall be
forfeited on the date of such expiration or discontinuance of the Participant’s
membership on the Board.

(b)Death or Disability. If the term of the Participant’s membership on the Board
expires or is discontinued as a result of the Participant’s death or Disability,
all unvested RSUs held by such Participant on the date of the expiration or
discontinuance of such Participant’s membership on the Board shall become fully
vested and will be settled in accordance with Section 6 above.
 
(c)Retirement. If the term of the Participant’s membership on the Board expires
or is discontinued as a result of the Participant’s Retirement, a portion of the
unvested RSUs shall vest and be settled in accordance with Section 6 above, and
the remaining unvested RSUs shall be forfeited, in each case, on the date of
such Retirement, without any payment of consideration by the Company to the
Participant. In the event of such Retirement, the number of unvested RSUs which
shall vest will be equal to the product of (i) the total number of RSUs granted
pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
total number of days that have elapsed between the Award Date and the date of
such Retirement and the denominator of which is 365.

8.Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control, all outstanding unvested RSUs
then held by the Participant under this Award shall fully vest and will be
settled in accordance with Section 6 above.

9.Limitations on Transfer. The RSUs may not be transferred, encumbered or
disposed of by the Participant under any circumstances or in any way and any
transfer of the Participant’s rights with respect to these RSUs, whether
voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, will result in the
cancellation and forfeiture of this Award and all rights relating thereto, and
the transfer shall be of no force or effect.

10.Responsibility for Taxes. The Participant shall be solely responsible for any
applicable taxes (including, without limitation, income and excise taxes) and
penalties, and any interest that accrues thereon, which he or she incurs in
connection with the vesting or settlement of this Award, in accordance with
Section 16 of the Plan. However, upon the settlement of the Award, the Company
shall have the right to withhold from any payment required to be made pursuant
hereto an amount sufficient to satisfy the federal, state, local and/or non-U.S.
withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such exercise, settlement
or payment.
