THIS SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered
into effective as of August 24, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), by and between
Eclipse Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
Christopher K. Hulburt (“Executive”). Any capitalized term set forth in this
Agreement that is not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning given to
such term in the amended and restated employment agreement dated as of
August 14, 2017, between Executive and the Company (the “Employment Agreement”).

WHEREAS, the Company is a party to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the “Merger Agreement”) among the Company, Everest Merger Sub Inc., and Blue
Ridge Mountain Resources, Inc.;

WHEREAS, Executive has been informed that his employment will be terminated on
the date of the closing (the “Closing Date”) of the transaction described in the
Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, under the terms of the Employment Agreement, Executive is entitled to
certain severance payments in the event of his termination of employment or
resignation under the circumstances described therein;

WHEREAS, in lieu of the payments or benefits to which Executive would become
eligible under the Employment Agreement upon his termination of employment
without Cause, Executive and the Company agree that Executive will be eligible
to receive the severance payments and benefits set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to settle all claims and issues that have, or could
have been raised by the Company or Executive in relation to Executive’s
employment with the Company and arising out of or in any way related to the
acts, transactions or occurrences between Executive and the Company to date,
including, but not limited to, Executive’s employment with the Company or the
termination of that employment, on the terms set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises, covenants and
agreements herein contained, intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as
follows:

1. Last Day of Employment; Resignation from Board of Directors; Termination of
Stockholder Rights Agreement. In connection with and contingent upon the
Closing, (a) unless Executive’s employment with the Company terminates earlier,
Executive’s last day of employment with the Company will be on the Closing Date,
(b) Executive agrees that he will resign from the Board of Directors of the
Company effective as of the Closing Date and (c) Executive agrees to take
actions reasonably necessary to cause CKH Partners, L.P. to terminate that
certain Stockholders Agreement dated as of June 25, 2014 by and among CKH
Partners, L.P., certain other stockholders of the Company and the Company.

2. Payments and Benefits to Executive from the Company.

(a) If Executive remains continuously employed by the Company from the Effective
Date through the earlier of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the date the Company

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

terminates Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause, or (iii) the
date the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason (such applicable
date, if any, is referred to herein as the “Separation Date”) the Executive will
be entitled to the following compensation and benefits to be paid or provided at
the times set forth below:

(i) Accrued Obligations. The Company shall pay the Executive any unpaid but
earned Base Salary accrued up to the Separation Date to be paid on the next
regularly scheduled payroll date of the Company immediately following the
Separation Date. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to receive
(A) any benefits or compensation as provided under the terms of any employee
benefit and compensation agreements or plans applicable to Executive,
(B) unreimbursed business expenses required to be reimbursed to Executive, and
(C) rights to indemnification Executive may have under the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation, Bylaws, or separate indemnification agreement, as applicable.

(ii) Severance Payment. The Company will pay Executive an amount equal to
$1,283,160, which constitutes two (2) times the sum of (A) Executive’s Base
Salary as of the Separation Date, and (B) the amount equal to Executive’s target
annual bonus for the fiscal year that includes the Separation Date, which amount
will be paid in a lump sum payment following the Release Effective Date, but no
more than 30 days after the Separation Date.

(iii) Pro Rata Bonus. The Company shall pay the Executive an amount (the “Pro
Rata Bonus”) equal to the product of (A) $294,780 (his target annual bonus for
the 2018 year) and (B) a fraction, the numerator which is the number of calendar
days that elapsed between January 1, 2018, and the Separation Date, and the
denominator of which is 365. The Pro Rata Bonus will be paid in a lump sum
payment following the Release Effective Date, but no more than 30 days after the
Separation Date.

(iv) Outstanding Equity Awards.

(A) Performance Stock Units. 536,895 of the 637,620 outstanding and unvested
performance stock units held by Executive as set forth on the attached Schedule
I shall immediately become earned and vested. Each such earned and vested
performance stock unit shall represent the right to receive following the
Release Effective Date, but no more than 30 days after the Separation Date,
(I) one (1) share of common stock of the Company if the issuance thereof occurs
prior to the effectiveness of the Parent Charter Amendment (as defined in the
Merger Agreement) or (II) one-fifteenth (1/15) of one (1) share of common stock
of the Company if the issuance thereof occurs after the effectiveness of the
Parent Charter Amendment. The remaining 100,725 outstanding and unvested
performance stock units held by Executive as set forth on the attached Schedule
I shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled.

 

- 2 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Restricted Stock Units. 427,122 outstanding and unvested restricted stock
units held by the Executive as set forth on the attached Schedule II shall
immediately vest.

(C) The Company shall take all action reasonably required to cause the prompt
issuance and delivery to Executive of any shares of common stock of the Company
attributable to vested performance stock units and restricted stock units
following the Release Effective Date, but no more than 30 days after the
Separation Date.

(D) In accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements, the Company
shall withhold from the shares of stock to be issued to the Executive as a
result of the vesting of performance stock units and restricted stock units
pursuant to Sections 2(a)(v)(A) and (B) of this Agreement the number of shares
necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to withhold taxes.

(v) Accrued and Unused Paid Time Off. The Company shall pay Executive the value
of any of Executive’s accrued but unused paid time off (“PTO”) as of his
Separation Date in a single lump sum payment following the Release Effective
Date, but no more than 30 days after the Separation Date. For this purpose,
Executive’s accrued but unused PTO will be determined without regard to any
annual PTO accrual limits under the Company’s PTO policy.

(vi) Post-Employment Health Coverage. During the portion, if any, of the
18-month period following the Separation Date that Executive elects to continue
coverage for Executive, Executive’s spouse or Executive’s eligible dependents
under the Company’s group health plans under COBRA, the Company will promptly
reimburse Executive on a monthly basis for the amount paid to effect and
continue such coverage (“COBRA Reimbursement Amounts”); provided, however, that
payment of the COBRA Reimbursement Amounts by the Company to Executive will
cease immediately upon the date that Executive begins providing services to a
subsequent employer that provides comparable group health plan coverage benefits
to its employees. Nothing contained herein is intended to limit or otherwise
restrict any rights to continued group health plan coverage pursuant to COBRA
following the period described in the preceding sentence.

(b) Release and Compliance with this Agreement. With the exception of the
Accrued Obligations set forth in Section 2(a)(i), the obligation of the Company
to pay any portion of the amounts due pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Agreement
is expressly conditioned on Executive’s (i) execution (on or within twenty-one
(21) days following the Separation Date) and non-revocation of the release
attached as Exhibit A (the “Release”), and (ii) Executive’s compliance with the
requirements of Sections 3 and 5(a). As used herein, the “Release Effective
Date” is the date on which the Release becomes irrevocable (as provided in
Section 5 of the Release).

(c) Nonduplication of Benefits. If any payments or benefits are paid or provided
under Section 2 of this Agreement, then Executive shall not be paid or provided

 

- 3 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any payments or benefits under Executive’s Employment Agreement.

(d) Section 16. The Company shall prepare on behalf of Executive a Form 4, in
form reasonably approved by Executive, reporting, among any other required
reportable transactions, Executive’s exit from the reporting system requirements
of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Section 16”).
The Company shall cause such Form 4 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) on Executive’s behalf on the Separation Date.

3. Continuing Obligations. Executive hereby acknowledges and affirms his
continuing obligations under Section 6 (Confidentiality) and Section 7
(Competition) of the Employment Agreement.

4. Protected Communications. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will
be used in any way to, limit Executive’s rights to communicate with the SEC or
any other governmental agency, as provided for, protected under or warranted by
applicable law, including, but not limited to, Section 21F of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and SEC Rule 21F-7 (the “Protected
Communications”). Nothing in this Agreement requires you to notify, or obtain
permission from, the Company before engaging in any Protected Communications.

5. Nondisparagement.

(a) Executive agrees to refrain from disparaging the Company and its affiliates,
including any of its services, technologies or practices, or any of its
directors, officers, agents, representatives or stockholders, either orally or
in writing. Nothing in this Section 5(a) precludes Executive from making
truthful statements that are reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law,
regulation or legal process.

(b) The Company agrees to refrain from disparaging Executive, including any of
Executive’s services or practices, either orally or in writing. Nothing in this
Section 5(b) precludes the Company from making truthful statements that are
reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation or legal process.

6. Assignment and Successors. The Company may assign its rights and obligations
under this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the
business or the assets of the Company (by merger or otherwise), and may assign
or encumber this Agreement and its rights hereunder as security for indebtedness
of the Company and its affiliates. This Agreement is binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Company, Executive and their respective successors, assigns,
personnel and legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs,
distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable. None of Executive’s rights
or obligations may be assigned or transferred by Executive, other than
Executive’s rights to payments hereunder, which may be transferred only by will
or operation of law.

7. Section 409A. The amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement are intended to
be exempt from section 409A of the Code, and related U.S. treasury regulations
or official pronouncements (“Section 409A”) and will be construed in a manner
that is compliant with such exemption; provided, however, if and to the extent
that any compensation payable under this Agreement is determined to be subject
to Section 409A, this Agreement will be construed in a manner that will comply
with Section 409A, and provided further, however, that no person

 

- 4 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

connected with this Agreement in any capacity, including but not limited to the
Company and its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, agents and
employees, makes any representation, commitment or guarantee that any tax
treatment, including but not limited to, federal, state and local income, estate
and gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to any amounts payable
or benefits provided under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed on his Separation Date to be
a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, then any payments and
benefits under this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A and paid by
reason of a termination of employment will be made or provided on the later of
(a) the payment date set forth in this Agreement or (b) the date that is the
earliest of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the
Separation Date, or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”).
Payments and benefits subject to the Delay Period will be paid or provided to
Executive without interest for such delay. The terms “termination of employment”
and “separate from service” as used throughout this Agreement refer to a
“separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

8. Maximum Payments by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, if Executive is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in
section 280G(c) of the Code), and the payments and benefits provided for in this
Agreement, together with any other payments and benefits which Executive has the
right to receive from the Company or any of its affiliates, would constitute a
“parachute payment” (as defined in section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the
payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement will be either (a) reduced
(but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and
benefits received by Executive from the Company and its affiliates will be one
dollar ($1.00) less than three times Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in
section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and
benefits received by Executive will be subject to the excise tax imposed by
section 4999 of the Code, or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net
after-tax position to Executive (taking into account any applicable excise tax
under section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes). The reduction of
payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, will be made by reducing, first,
payments or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such
payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or
benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent necessary,
through to such payment or benefit that would be made first in time) and, then,
reducing any benefit to be provided in-kind hereunder in a similar order. The
determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and
benefits provided hereunder is necessary will be made by an Independent Tax
Advisor. If a reduced payment or benefit is made or provided, and through error
or otherwise, that payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and
benefits from the Company (or its affiliates) used in determining if a
“parachute payment” exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less than three times
Executive’s base amount, then Executive will immediately repay such excess to
the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made. “Independent
Tax Advisor” shall mean a lawyer with a nationally recognized law firm, a
certified public accountant with a nationally recognized accounting firm, or a
compensation consultant with a nationally recognized actuarial and benefits
consulting firm, in each case with expertise in the area of executive
compensation tax law, who shall be selected by the Company and shall be
acceptable to Executive, and all of whose fees and disbursements shall be paid
by the Company. Nothing in this Section 8 requires the Company to be responsible
for, or have any liability or obligation with respect to, Executive’s excise tax
liabilities under section 4999 of the Code.

9. Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary,

 

- 5 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Executive acknowledges and agrees that any amounts payable under this Agreement
shall be subject to clawback, cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback or
other action in accordance with the terms of any policy (the “Policy”) (whether
in existence as of the Effective Date or later adopted) established by the
Company providing for clawback, cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback or
other action of amounts paid to Executive. Executive agrees and consents to the
Company’s application, implementation and enforcement of (a) the Policy and
(b) any provision of applicable law relating to the clawback, cancellation,
recoupment, rescission or payback of Executive’s compensation, and expressly
agrees that the Company may take such actions as are necessary to effectuate the
Policy or applicable law without further consent or action being required by
Executive. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement and the Policy
conflict, then the terms of the Policy shall prevail.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Notices. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for herein will be in writing and deemed to have been
duly given (i) when received if delivered personally or by courier, or (ii) on
the date receipt is acknowledged if delivered by certified mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, as follows:

conflicts of laws principles thereof.

(c) No Waiver. No failure by either party hereto at any time to give notice of
any breach by the other party of, or to require compliance with, any condition
or provision of this Agreement will be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar
provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

(d) Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any
provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, then the invalidity or
unenforceability of that provision will not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and all other
provisions remain in full force and effect.

 

- 6 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will
constitute one and the same Agreement.

(f) Withholding of Taxes and Other Employee Deductions. The Company or its
affiliates may withhold from any benefits and payments made pursuant to this
Agreement all federal, state, city, and other taxes and withholdings as may be
required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling and all other
customary deductions made with respect to the Company’s employees generally.

(g) Headings. The section headings have been inserted for purposes of
convenience and may not be used for interpretive purposes.

(h) Gender and Plurals. Wherever the context so requires, the masculine gender
includes the feminine or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural and
conversely.

(i) Third Party Beneficiaries. Each affiliate of the Company will be a third
party beneficiary of, and may directly enforce, Executive’s obligations under
Sections 3, 4 and 5.

obligation of any party which is accrued or vested prior to such termination.
Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, the provisions of Sections
3, 4, 5 and 10, and those provisions necessary to interpret and apply them will
survive any termination of this Agreement.

(k) Entire Agreement.

(i) This Agreement sets forth the payments and benefits Executive will be paid
or provided solely in the event he incurs a Covered Termination. If Executive
incurs a Covered Termination, Executive will be entitled to the payments and
benefits described in this Agreement only and will not be paid or provided any
payments or benefits described in the Employment Agreement. If Executive’s
employment is terminated for a reason other than a Covered Termination,
Executive will not receive any payments or benefits described in this Agreement;
but will instead be paid or provided any payments or benefits described in the
Employment Agreement.

(ii) Except as described in Section 10(k)(i) or as provided in any signed
written agreement contemporaneously or hereafter executed by the Company and
Executive, this Agreement (i) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties
with regard to the subject matter hereof, (ii) supersedes all prior agreements,
arrangements, and understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject
matter hereof, and (iii) contains all the covenants, promises, representations,
warranties, and agreements between the parties with respect to employment of
Executive by the Company. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence,
all understandings and agreements preceding the date of execution of this
Agreement and relating to the subject matter hereof are hereby null and void and
of no further force and effect.

be effective only if it is in writing and signed by the parties to this
Agreement.

(m) Actions by the Board. Any and all determinations or other actions required
of the Board hereunder that relate specifically to Executive’s employment or the
terms and conditions of such employment will be made by the members of the
Board, other than Executive if Executive is a member of the Board, and Executive
will not have any right to vote or decide upon any such matter.

(n) Forum and Venue. With respect to any claims, legal proceeding or litigation
arising in connection with this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby consent to
the exclusive jurisdiction, forum, and venue of the state and federal courts, as
applicable, located in Centre County, Pennsylvania.

(o) Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary
damages would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any of
the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or were otherwise breached by the parties. It is accordingly
agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions,
or any other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to
prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are
entitled under the terms of this Agreement at law or in equity.

(p) Further Assurances. Upon the reasonable request of any other party, each
party hereto agrees to take any and all actions, including, without limitation,
the execution of certificates, documents or instruments, necessary or
appropriate to give effect to the terms and conditions set forth in this

2. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the release of claims set forth in
this Release is not to be construed in any way as an admission of any liability
whatsoever by any Company Released Party, any such liability being expressly
denied.

3. The release of claims set forth in this Release applies to any relief no
matter how called, including, without limitation, (i) wages, (ii) back pay or
front pay, (iii) compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive damages,
damages for pain or suffering, (iv) costs, (v) attorneys’ fees and expenses, and

proceeding of any kind which may be brought against the Company as a result of
such a complaint, claim or charge.

4. Executive specifically acknowledges that his acceptance of the terms of the
release of claims set forth in this Release is, among other things, a specific
waiver of his rights, claims and causes of action under Title VII, ADEA, ADA and
any state or local law or regulation in respect of discrimination of any kind;
provided, however, that nothing herein will be deemed, nor does anything
contained herein purport, to be a waiver of any right or claim or cause of
action which by law Executive is not permitted to waive.

5. As to rights, claims and causes of action arising under the ADEA, Executive
acknowledges that he has been given a period of twenty-one (21) days to consider
whether to execute this Release. If Executive accepts the terms hereof and
executes this Release, he may thereafter, for a period of seven (7) days
following (and not including) the date of execution, revoke this Release as it
relates to the release of claims arising under the ADEA. If no such revocation
occurs, this Release will become irrevocable in its entirety, and binding and

foregoing seven-day period has elapsed. If such a revocation occurs, Executive
will irrevocably forfeit any right to payment of the severance benefits

Exhibit A – Page 2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. Each provision hereof is severable from this Release, and if one or more
provisions hereof are declared invalid, the remaining provisions will
nevertheless remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Release
is so broad, in scope, or duration or otherwise, as to be unenforceable, such
provision will be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

12. This Release constitutes the complete agreement of the Parties in respect of
the subject matter hereof and will supersede all prior agreements between the
Parties in respect of the subject matter hereof except to the extent set forth
herein.

13. The failure to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Release or
to require at any time performance by another party of any of the provisions
hereof will in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or to
affect the validity of this Release, or any part hereof, or the right of any
party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision in accordance with the
terms of this Release.

14. This Release may be executed in several counterparts, each of which will be
deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument. Signatures delivered by facsimile will be deemed effective for

Executive and the Company.

16. Except for issues or matters as to which federal law is applicable, this
Release will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without resort to any principle of
conflict of laws that would require application of the laws of any other
jurisdiction.
