 1. Under the terms and conditions of the Quicksilver Resources Inc. 2006 Equity Plan (the
“Plan”), a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, Quicksilver Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), grants to the individual whose name is set forth above (the
“Participant”) the number of restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), set forth above (the “Restricted Shares”). Terms not defined in this Agreement have the
meanings set forth in the Plan. 
 2. The Restricted Shares may not be transferred, sold, pledged, exchanged, assigned or otherwise
encumbered or disposed of by the Participant, except to the Company, until the Restricted Shares become vested in accordance with the schedule set forth below. Any purported transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the Restricted Shares before
they become vested will be null and void, and the other party to any such purported transaction will not obtain any rights to or interest in the Restricted Shares.

	 [1/3
	  	First Anniversary of Date of Grant]
	 [1/3
	  	Second Anniversary of Date of Grant]
	 [1/3
	  	Third Anniversary of Date of Grant]

 Notwithstanding the vesting dates set forth above, in the event of a Change in Control while the
Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or in the event that the Participant terminates employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries by reason of retirement at or after the age of 62 and completion of five years of service,
disability (as determined by the Committee in good faith) or death, any nonvested Restricted Shares will automatically become 100% vested. If the Participant terminates employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason other than such
retirement, disability or death, any nonvested Restricted Shares will be forfeited immediately. 
 3. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the Participant will have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote such shares and receive any dividends that may be paid thereon; provided, however, that any additional shares of Common
Stock or other securities that the Participant may become entitled to receive pursuant to a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, separation or reorganization or any other change in the capital
structure of the Company will be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Shares. 
 4. The Participant hereby accepts and agrees
to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Any amendment to the Plan will be deemed to be an 








 
amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the Plan amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment will adversely affect the rights
of the Participant under this Agreement without the Participant’s consent. 
 ACCEPTED:
