 This Restricted Stock Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the
Date of Grant by and between Brigham Minerals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and you. 

WHEREAS, the Company adopted the Brigham Minerals, Inc. 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the
“Plan”), under which the Company is authorized to grant equity-based awards to certain employees and service providers of the Company; 

WHEREAS, the Company, in order to induce you to enter into and to continue and dedicate service to the Company and to materially
contribute to the success of the Company, agrees to grant you this award of Restricted Stock; 
 WHEREAS, you acknowledge that a copy
of the Plan has been furnished to you and shall be deemed a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein and the terms capitalized but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan; and 

WHEREAS, you desire to accept the award of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and for other valuable consideration hereinafter set forth,
the parties agree as follows: 
 1.       The Grant. Subject to the conditions set forth below,
the Company hereby grants the Participant, effective as of the Date of Grant, as a matter of separate inducement and not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for the Participant’s services for the Company, an award of Restricted Stock
(the “Award”) consisting of the number of Restricted Shares set forth above in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan. 

2.       Escrow of Restricted Shares. The Company shall evidence the Restricted Shares in the
manner that it deems appropriate. The Company may issue in the Participant’s name a certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Shares and retain such certificate(s) until the restrictions on such Restricted Shares expire as
described in Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement or the Restricted Shares are forfeited as described in Section 4 and 6 of this Agreement. If the Company certificates the Restricted
Shares, the Participant shall execute one 











 
or more stock powers in blank for those certificates and deliver those stock powers to the Company. The Company shall hold the Restricted Shares and the related stock powers pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, if applicable, until such time as (a) a certificate or certificates for the Restricted Shares are delivered to the Participant, (b) the Restricted Shares are otherwise transferred to the Participant free of restrictions,
or (c) the Restricted Shares are canceled and forfeited pursuant to this Agreement. 
 3.
      Ownership of Restricted Shares. From and after the time the Restricted Shares are issued in the Participant’s name, the Participant will be entitled to all the rights of absolute ownership of
the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends thereon if, as, and when declared by the Board, subject, however, to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement; provided,
however, that each dividend payment will be made no later than the 60th day following the date such dividend payment is made to stockholders generally. 

4.       Restrictions; Forfeiture. The Restricted Shares are restricted in that they may not be
sold, transferred or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until these restrictions are removed or expire as described in Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement. The Restricted Shares are also restricted in the sense that
they may be forfeited to the Company (the “Forfeiture Restrictions”). The Participant hereby agrees that if the Restricted Shares are forfeited, as provided in Section 6, the Company shall have the
right to deliver the Restricted Shares to the Company’s transfer agent for, at the Company’s election, cancellation or transfer to the Company. 

5.       Expiration of Restrictions and Risk of Forfeiture. Except as otherwise set forth in
Section 6, the restrictions on the Restricted Shares described in Section 4 of this Agreement will expire and the Restricted Shares will become transferable and nonforfeitable, according to the
following schedule, so long as the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant through each vesting date set forth below:

Retirement. Upon the termination of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or an Affiliate (A) due to the Participant’s “Disability” (as defined below) or death or (B) due to an
officer or employee Participant’s “Retirement” (as defined below), the following number of Restricted Shares for which the restrictions have not yet lapsed as of the date of termination shall become immediately vested:

“Cause” (as defined below) or (B) in the case of a Participant that is an officer or employee of the Company, by the Participant for “Good Reason” (as defined below), in each case, then, provided that the Participant
executes within the time provided to do so (and does not revoke within any time provided to do so) a release of all claims in a form acceptable to the Committee, the following number of Restricted Shares for which the restrictions have not yet
lapsed as of the date of termination shall become immediately vested:                     . 

(c)       Other Termination of Employment or Service. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 6(a) or 6(b), in the event of the termination of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason, any Restricted Shares for which the
restrictions have not yet lapsed as of the date of termination (and all rights arising from such Restricted Shares and from being a holder thereof) will terminate automatically as of the date of termination without any further action by the Company
and will be forfeited without further notice and at no cost to the Company.

Control. Upon the consummation of a Change in Control on or before the termination of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason, the following number of Restricted Shares for

or other service relationship with the Company or an Affiliate due to the Participant’s voluntary resignation on or after attaining age 55 and completing 10 or more full years of service with the Company (or any predecessor) or an Affiliate.

 7.       Delivery of Stock. Promptly following the expiration of the restrictions on the
Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement, the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the Participant or the Participant’s designee a certificate or other evidence of the number
of Restricted Shares as to which restrictions have lapsed (i.e., shares of Stock), free of any restrictive legend relating to the lapsed restrictions, upon receipt by the Company of any tax withholding as may be due pursuant to
Section 8. The value of such Stock shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time. 
 8.
      Tax Withholding. To the extent that the receipt, attainment of retirement age, vesting or settlement of this Award results in compensation income or wages to the Participant for federal, state, local
and/or foreign tax purposes, the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to this Award, which arrangements include
the delivery of cash or cash equivalents, Stock (including previously owned Stock, net settlement, net early settlement, a broker-assisted sale, or other cashless withholding or reduction of the amount of shares otherwise issuable or delivered
pursuant to this Award), other property, or any other legal 

  
 4 












 
consideration the Committee deems appropriate. If such tax obligations are satisfied through net settlement, net early settlement or the surrender of previously owned Stock, the maximum number of
shares of Stock that may be so withheld (or surrendered) shall be the number of shares of Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or surrender equal to the aggregate amount of such tax liabilities determined based
on the greatest withholding rates for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment for the Company with respect to this Award, as determined by the
Committee. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award or disposition of the underlying shares and that the Participant has been advised, and hereby is advised, to
consult a tax advisor. The Participant represents that he is in no manner relying on the Board, the Committee, the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective managers, directors, officers, employees or authorized representatives
(including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers, lenders, prospective lenders and financial representatives) for tax advice or an assessment of such tax consequences. 

9.       Non-Transferability. During the lifetime of
the Participant, the Restricted Shares may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until all restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares have lapsed.
Neither the Restricted Shares nor any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation,
pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means, whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any
attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence. 

10.       Compliance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the issuance of shares of Stock (including the Restricted Shares) hereunder will be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of applicable law with respect to such securities and with the requirements of any stock exchange or
market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. No shares of Stock will be issued hereunder if such issuance would constitute a violation of any applicable law or regulation or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon
which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, shares of Stock will not be issued hereunder unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect at the time of such issuance with respect to the shares to be issued or
(b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares to be issued are permitted to be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the
Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Stock hereunder will relieve the Company of any
liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained. As a condition to any issuance of Stock hereunder, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any requirements that may be
necessary or appropriate to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect to such compliance as may be requested by the Company.

 11.       Legends. If a stock certificate is
issued with respect to shares of Stock delivered hereunder, such certificate shall bear such legend or legends as the Committee deems appropriate in order to reflect the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and to ensure compliance with the
terms and provisions of this Agreement, the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any applicable laws or the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Stock is then listed. If the shares of Stock
issued hereunder are held in book-entry form, then such entry will reflect that the shares are subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement. 

12.       Execution of Receipts and Releases. Any issuance or transfer of shares of Stock or other
property to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee, in accordance with this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of all claims of such person hereunder. As a condition precedent to such
payment or issuance, the Company may require the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee to execute (and not revoke within any time provided to do so) a release and receipt therefor in such form as it
shall determine appropriate. 
 13.       No Right to Continued Employment, Service or Awards.
Nothing in the adoption of the Plan, nor this Award, shall confer upon the Participant the right to continued employment by, or a continued service relationship with, the Company or any Affiliate, or any other entity, or affect in any way the right
of the Company or any such Affiliate, or any other entity to terminate such employment or other service relationship at any time. The grant of the Restricted Shares is a one-time benefit and does not create
any contractual or other right to receive a grant of Awards or benefits in lieu of Awards in the future. Any future Awards will be granted at the sole discretion of the Company. 

14.       Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal
place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Participant at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing. Any notice that is delivered
personally or by overnight courier or telecopier in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to have been duly given to the Participant when it is mailed by the Company or, if such notice is not mailed to the Participant, upon receipt by the
Participant. Any notice that is addressed and mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been given to the party to whom it is addressed at the close of business, local time of the recipient, on the fourth day after
the day it is so placed in the mail. 
 15.       Consent to Electronic Delivery;
Electronic Signature. In lieu of receiving documents in paper format, the Participant agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to accept electronic delivery of any documents that the Company may be required to deliver
(including, but not limited to, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, grant or award notifications and agreements, account statements, annual and quarterly reports and all other forms of communications) in connection with this and any other Award
made or offered by the Company. Electronic delivery may be via a Company electronic mail system or by reference to a location on a Company intranet to which the Participant has access. The Participant hereby consents to any and all procedures the
Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of any such documents that the Company may be required to deliver, and agrees that his or her electronic signature is the same as, and shall have
the same force and effect as, his or her manual signature.

 16.       Agreement to Furnish Information. The
Participant agrees to furnish to the Company all information requested by the Company to enable it to comply with any reporting or other requirement imposed upon the Company by or under any applicable statute or regulation. 

17.       Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and contains all the covenants, promises, representations, warranties and agreements between the parties with respect to the Restricted Shares granted hereby; provided ̧ however, that the terms
of this Agreement shall not modify and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any employment, consulting and/or severance agreement between the Company (or an Affiliate or other entity) and the Participant in effect as of the date a
determination is to be made under this Agreement. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, except as provided therein, all prior understandings and agreements, if any, among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof are
hereby null and void and of no further force and effect. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend this Agreement from time to time in any manner that is not inconsistent with the Plan; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in
the Plan or this Agreement, any such amendment that materially reduces the rights of the Participant shall be effective only if it is in writing and signed by both the Participant and an authorized officer of the Company. 

18.       Severability and Waiver. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any
provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, then the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and all other provisions shall remain in
full force and effect. Waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement or failure to exercise any right hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach or right. The failure of any party to take action by reason of such breach
or to exercise any such right shall not deprive the party of the right to take action at any time while or after such breach or condition giving rise to such rights continues. 

19.       Clawback. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary,
to the extent required by (a) applicable law, including, without limitation, the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, any Securities and Exchange Commission rule or any applicable securities
exchange listing standards and/or (b) any policy that may be adopted or amended by the Board from time to time, all shares of Stock issued hereunder shall be subject to forfeiture, repurchase, recoupment and/or cancellation to the extent
necessary to comply with such law(s) and/or policy. 
 20.       Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN, EXCLUSIVE OF THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW.

without the Participant’s consent. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to

Participant’s beneficiaries, executors, administrators and the person(s) to whom the Restricted Shares may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution.
