WHEREAS, effective as of June 1, 1998, Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), established the Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation
Deferred Compensation Plan, which subsequently amended and restated effective as
of January 1, 2009 (the “Plan”); and

WHEREAS, effective as of October 26, 2010, the Company terminated its letter
agreements with certain executives providing for the contribution of certain
supplemental pension amounts to the Plan upon the termination of the applicable
executive’s employment (the “SERP Agreements”); and

WHEREAS, in connection with the termination of the SERP Agreements, the Company
has directed the Committee to amend the Plan to provide for the termination and
liquidation of the Company DB SERP Accounts currently maintained under the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, having reserved the right to amend the Plan under Section 8.4
thereof, the Committee hereby amends the Plan, effective as of October 26, 2010,

1. Section 4.2(c) of the Plan is hereby amended to read as follows:

“4.2(c) Effective as of the earlier of (i) the date of a Participant’s
termination of employment with the Company or (ii) the Liquidation Date
designated by the Committee in accordance with Section 6.1(e), the Committee
shall credit to the Participant’s Company Contribution Account an amount equal
to the actuarial present value of the Company DB SERP Contribution Amount to
which such Participant would have been entitled under the terms of the
supplemental employee retirement plan agreement in effect between the Company
and the Participant as of September 29, 2010, if the Participant had terminated
employment on September 30, 2010 (the ‘SERP Termination Date’), and shall
allocate such credited amount among the Investment Subaccounts in accordance
with the designation made by such Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a);
provided that, for purposes of this Section 4.2(c), ‘actuarial present value’
shall be determined in accordance with the then-applicable interest rate and
mortality table (x) in effect under the Pension Plan or (y) if the Pension Plan
is no longer in existence, last in effect under the Pension Plan; and”

credited to a Participant’s Company DB SERP Contribution Account.

(ii) In accordance with the provisions set forth in

twelve and twenty-four months following the SERP Termination Date for the
distribution of all Participants’ Company DB SERP Contribution Account.

(iii) A Participant shall receive a single lump-sum payment on the Liquidation
Date in an amount equal to the balance, if any, of his or her Company DB SERP
Contribution Account, determined as of the Liquidation Date.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of a Participant’s Deferral
Election shall remain in effect with respect to (i) any amounts that would
