Exhibit 10.6

PAR PETROLEUM CORPORATION

AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

(Canada)

In this Award, Par Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) grants [name] (the
“Participant”), an Employee, Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) which upon becoming
“Vested” (as provided below), on the applicable “Vesting Date” (as defined
below), will entitle the Participant to receive the number of shares of Stock
equal to the number of RSUs granted hereunder that have become vested on that
date. All terms and conditions of the RSUs and Stock that may be issued are
granted under and governed by the terms of the Par Petroleum Corporation 2012
Long Term Incentive Plan (“Plan”) and this Award. All capitalized terms not
defined in this Award shall have the meaning of such terms as provided in the
Plan.

1. The “Date of Grant” is                     .

 

2. The total number of RSUs granted is                     .

3. The RSUs granted in this Award shall vest as follows:

The Participant shall not be entitled to any the RSUs and such RSUs cannot be
transferred unless he or she is continuously in Service from the Grant Date
through the Determination Date as defined herein. The number of shares of RSUs
that may be vested and have shares of Stock issued with respect thereto will be
determined by the Committee on the date and as provided under the Par Petroleum
Corporation Discretionary Long Term Incentive Plan for 2014 (the “Determination
Date”) and shall be specified by the Committee on Exhibit A of this Award (the
“Total Number”). Any RSUs under item 2 that are not specified by the Committee
as the Total Number on Exhibit A shall be forfeited and the Participant shall
have no rights with respect to such RSUs or the right to receive any Stock
related thereto.

Subject to Item 4 below, the transfer restrictions and substantial risk of
forfeiture imposed in the foregoing paragraph shall lapse for the percentage of
the Total Number of RSUs on the applicable dates (each a “Vesting Date”) as
follows: as to 33.3% of the Total Number on the first anniversary of the
Determination Date, as to 33.3% of the Total Number on the second anniversary of
the Vesting Date and as to 33.4% of the Total Number on the third anniversary of
the Determination Date. The RSUs with respect to which such restrictions have
lapsed are referred to as “Vested.”

4. Other Vesting Events after the Determination Date are as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting criteria in item 3, the Total Number of
outstanding RSUs that have not been previously forfeited will be Vested upon the
date of the occurrence of any one of the following “Vesting Events” that occur
after the Determination Date, on the date of the Vesting Event:
(a) Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Affiliates
due to death or Disability, (b) the Participant’s termination of employment by
the Company and its Affiliates without Cause, or (c) upon a Change in Control.
The date of the occurrence of one of the Vesting Events shall be the Vesting
Date for purposes of this Award so long as the Participant has been continuously
employed with the Company or a Company Affiliate from the Date of the Grant
through the date of the Vesting Event.

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

5. Other Terms and Conditions:

(a) No Fractional Shares. All provisions of this Award concern whole shares of
Stock. If the application of any provision hereunder would yield a fractional
share, such fractional share shall be rounded down to the next whole share if it
is less than 0.5 and rounded up to the next whole share if it is 0.5 or more.

(b) Not an Employment or Service Agreement. This Award is not an employment
agreement, and this Award shall not be, and no provision of this Award shall be
construed or interpreted to create any right of Participant to continue
employment with or provide services to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(c) Code Section 409A. To the extent that this Award of RSUs is deferred
compensation subject to Code Section 409A, this Award is intended and will be
interpreted to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and the
Committee shall use the applicable definitions from Code Section 409A in the
administration of this Award, such as a more restrictive definition of Change in
Control to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent that it is required and a
termination of employment shall mean a Separation from Service (as defined
below). To the extent required by Code Section 409A, if the Participant is
Specified Employee (as defined below), a distribution on account of a Separation
from Service may not be made before the date which is the first business day
that is six months after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service
(or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death). For purposes of the
foregoing, the terms “Separation from Service” and “Specified Employee,” shall
be defined in the same manner as those terms are defined for purposes of
Section 409A of the Code, and the limitations set forth herein shall be applied
in such manner (and only to the extent) as shall be necessary to comply with any
requirements of Section 409A of the Code that are applicable to this Award. To
the extent that this Award is subject to Code Section 409A, the Committee shall
not have any discretion otherwise provided in this Plan to the extent such
discretion is prohibited under Code Section 409A with respect to deferred
compensation including, without limitation, any discretion to accelerate or
substitute under Section 25. In addition, if this Award is subject to Code
Section 409A, the Committee may interpret or amend this Award to comply with
Code Section 409A without the Participant’s consent even if such amendment would
have an adverse effect on this Award.

(d) Independent Tax Advice and Acknowledgments. The Participant acknowledges he
or she has been advised to consult his or her tax advisor with respect to this
Award and the tax consequences of this Award and any payments hereunder. None of
the Company, any Company Affiliate nor any officer, director, employee,
shareholder or any agent of any of them guarantees or is responsible for the tax
consequences to a Participant with respect to this Award under the Plan and the
administration of this Award and Plan, including without limitation, any excise
or penalty tax or interest under Code Section 409A. Participant acknowledges
receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the
terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Award subject to all the
terms and provisions of the Plan and this Award.

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

(e) This Award supersedes and replaces all prior agreements and understandings,
oral or written, between the Company, Texadian Energy Canada Limited, or any of
their Affiliates and the Participant regarding this Award and the RSUs and by
his or her signature below the Participant acknowledges the same.

(f) The Committee has determined in connection with this Award that the
Participant may elect to have the Company withhold that number of shares of
Stock otherwise deliverable to the Participant when the RSUs become Vested or to
deliver to the Company a number of shares of Stock, in each case, having a Fair
Market Value on the date of Vesting equal to the minimum amount required to be
withheld for taxes as a result of such exercise. The election must be made in
writing and must be delivered to the Company prior to the date of Vesting. If
the number of shares so determined shall include a fractional share, the
Participant shall deliver cash in lieu of such fractional share. All elections
shall be made in a form approved by the Committee and shall be subject to
disapproval, in whole or in part by the Committee.

The RSUs granted hereunder and the issuance of the Stock will be subject to all
applicable federal, state and local taxes domestic and foreign and withholding
requirements (including, without limitation, any withholding required under any
other employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or a Company Affiliate).
The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all
decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Board, as appropriate, upon
any questions arising under the Plan or this Award.
