Exhibit 10.3.2




RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT




     This Restricted Stock Award Agreement (“Agreement”) is effective as of February 9, 2009,
between Encore Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and
                
                
         (the
“Executive”).



     WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s 2008 Incentive Stock Plan, as established
effective May 6, 2008, and as such plan may be thereafter amended (the “Plan”), the Compensation
Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”),
which administers the Plan, has determined to grant a Restricted Stock Award to the Executive upon
the terms set forth below;



     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:



     1. Grant of Restricted Stock. The Company hereby awards to the Executive under the Plan,
subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
               
      shares of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Restricted Stock”). The Company
will issue to the Executive stock certificates evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock, which
certificates will be registered in the name of the Executive and will bear an appropriate legend
referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock,
substantially in the following form:




The transferability of this certificate and the shares of Common Stock represented
hereby are subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions (including forfeiture)
contained in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, effective as of February 9, 2009,
between Encore Acquisition Company and the registered owner hereof. Copies of such
Agreement are on file in the offices of Encore Acquisition Company, 777 Main Street,
Suite 1400, Fort Worth, Texas 76102.


The certificates evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock shall be held in custody by the Company
or, if specified by the Committee, by a third party custodian or trustee, until the restrictions on
such shares shall have lapsed, and, as a condition of this award of Restricted Stock, the Executive
shall deliver a stock power, duly endorsed in blank, relating to the shares of Restricted Stock.




     2. Transfer Restrictions. Except as expressly provided herein, the shares of Restricted Stock
are non-transferable, otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may not
otherwise be assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon
the levy of any such process, the award provided for herein shall immediately become null and void,
and the shares of Restricted Stock shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.



     3. Restrictions. Subject to the forfeiture provision of Section 4 hereof, the restrictions on
the shares of Restricted Stock shall lapse and such shares shall vest in the
Executive upon the later of the satisfaction of the Performance-Based Conditions and the
Service-Based Conditions, as defined below:



1









 





     (a) The “Performance-Based Conditions” shall be deemed satisfied if and only if the Company
shall achieve any two of the following performance goals during the 2009 fiscal year:




	 	(i)	 	Aggregate production of oil and natural gas meets or exceeds 38,661 barrels of
oil equivalent per day (after any reduction for net profits interests);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Proved developed producing reserves as of December 31, 2008 shall not have
forecast revisions in excess of 1%;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	$150 million of free cash flow is generated;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The development cost per barrel of oil does not exceed $22.00; or
	 
	 	(v)	 	A 15% rate of return on capital is generated, assuming a constant price per
barrel of oil of $65.00 and a constant price per thousand cubic feet of natural gas of
$7.25.






If
as of December 31, 2009, the Company shall not have achieved two of the Performance-Based
Conditions set forth above, then all shares of Restricted Stock shall be immediately
forfeited to the Company.



     (b) If the Executive remains continuously employed by the Company, the “Service-Based
Conditions” shall be deemed satisfied with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of
Restricted Stock awarded hereunder on each February 9 of the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013;
provided that restrictions shall not lapse with respect to any fraction of a share. If the
Executive does not remain continuously employed by the Company until the dates specified above, the
Service-Based Conditions shall not be satisfied with respect to the specified portion of the shares
(except as expressly provided otherwise in Section 4), and all shares of then-outstanding
Restricted Stock shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.



     (c) Restrictions on shares as to which both the Performance-Based Conditions and the
Service-Based Conditions shall have been satisfied will lapse, and such shares shall no longer be
deemed Restricted Stock.

     4. Termination of Employment; Forfeiture.



     (a) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company (or the successor of any such company) as a result of the retirement of the Executive, the
shares of Restricted Stock, after such retirement, shall continue to be subject to the restrictions
set forth herein, which restrictions shall lapse and such shares shall vest in the Executive in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereof as if the Executive had remained employed by the
Company. Retirement of the Executive shall mean (i) the termination of employment with the Company
on or after the last day the month in which the Executive attains age 65 and has, as of such date
of termination, been continuously employed by the Company for at least two years or (ii) otherwise
as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion.



     (b) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company (or the successor of any such company) as a result of the death of the Executive, the
Service-Based Conditions on all shares of Restricted Stock shall be deemed satisfied, and the
restrictions on such shares shall lapse and such shares shall vest in the Executive’s legal
representative, beneficiary or heir only if, and immediately after, the Company achieves one of the
Performance-Based Conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof.



     (c) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company (or the successor of any such company) as a result of the disability of the Executive, the
shares of Restricted Stock, after such disability, shall continue to be subject to the restrictions
set forth herein, which restrictions shall lapse and such shares shall vest in the Executive in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereof as if the Executive had remained employed by the
Company; provided that if the Executive shall be disabled for a continuous period of 18 months,
then the Service-Based Conditions on all shares of Restricted Stock shall be deemed satisfied, and
the restrictions on such shares shall lapse and such shares shall vest in the Executive if and only
if prior to or during such disability the Company shall achieve one of the Performance-Based
Conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof, which lapse of restrictions and vesting shall occur on
the later of (i) the last day of such 18 months of continuous disability or (ii) the date the
Company shall achieve one of such Performance-Based Conditions if the Executive shall remain so
continuously disabled on such date. The disability of the Executive shall mean the total disability
of the Executive as determined in accordance with the Company’s long-term disability insurance
benefit plan, or if no such plan is then in existence, total and permanent disability as determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion.



     (d) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company (or the successor of any such company) for any reason other than as described in
subsections (a), (b) and (c) above, all shares of Restricted Stock as to which the restrictions
thereon shall not have previously lapsed shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.



     5. Distribution Following Termination of Restrictions. Upon the vesting and expiration of the
restrictions as to any portion of the Restricted Stock, the Company will cause a new certificate
evidencing such number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to the Executive, or in the case
of his death to his legal representative, beneficiary or heir, free of the



3









 







legend regarding transferability; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to issue
any fractional shares of Common Stock.



     6. Voting and Dividend Rights. During the period in which the restrictions provided herein
are applicable to the Restricted Stock, the Executive shall have the right to vote the shares of
Restricted Stock and to receive any cash dividends paid with respect thereto unless and until
forfeiture thereof. Any dividend or distribution payable with respect to shares of Restricted
Stock that shall be paid or distributed in shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the same
restrictions provided for herein, and the shares so paid or distributed shall be deemed Restricted
Stock subject to all terms and conditions herein. Any dividend or distribution (other than cash or
Common Stock) payable or distributable on shares of Restricted Stock, unless otherwise determined
by the Committee, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent
and in the same manner as the Restricted Stock is subject; provided that the Committee may make
such modifications and additions to the terms and conditions (including restrictions on transfer
and the conditions to the timing and degree of lapse of such restrictions) that shall become
applicable to such dividend or distribution as the Committee may provide in its absolute
discretion.



     7. Corporate Structure Change. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan in the case of a
Change in Control of the Company, in the event of any merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification or other capital or corporate structure change of the Company,
the securities or other consideration receivable for or in conversion of or exchange for shares of
Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent
and in the same manner as the Restricted Stock is subject; provided that the Board of Directors may
make such modifications and additions to the terms and conditions (including restrictions on
transfer and the conditions to the timing and degree of lapse of such restrictions) that shall
become applicable to the securities or other consideration so receivable as the Board of Directors
may provide in its absolute discretion.



     8. Tax Withholding. The obligation of the Company to deliver any certificate to the Executive
pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall be subject to the receipt by the Company from the Executive of
any withholding taxes required as a result of the award of the Restricted Stock or lapsing of
restrictions thereon. Unless the Committee or the Board of Directors shall determine otherwise at
any time after the date hereof, the Executive may satisfy all or part of such withholding tax
requirement by electing to sell to the Company a designated number of unrestricted shares of Common
Stock held by the Executive at a price per share equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares,
provided that the aggregate value of the shares sold does not exceed the minimum required tax
withholding obligation.



     9. Securities Laws Requirements. The Company shall not be required to issue shares of
Restricted Stock unless and until (i) such shares have been duly listed upon each stock exchange on
which the Common Stock is then registered and (ii) the Company has complied with applicable federal
and state securities laws.



     The Company may require the Executive to furnish to the Company, prior to the issuance of any
shares of Restricted Stock, an instrument, in such form as the Committee may from time to time deem
appropriate, in which the Executive represents that the shares of Restricted Stock



4









 







acquired by him hereunder are being acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or
distribution thereof.



     10. Incorporation of Plan Provisions. This Agreement and the award of Restricted Stock
hereunder are made pursuant to the Plan and are subject to all of the terms and provisions of the
Plan as if the same were fully set forth herein. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
conflicts with the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. The Executive acknowledges
receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees that all decisions under and interpretations of the Plan
by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Executive. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings set forth in the Plan for such terms.



     11. No Rights to Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the
Executive any right to continued employment by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or
limit in any way the right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate or modify the terms of the
Executive’s employment at any time.



     12. Miscellaneous.



     (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF DELAWARE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS.



     (b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its
successors and assigns.



     (c) If any term or provision of this Agreement should be invalid or unenforceable, such
provision shall be severed from this Agreement, and all other terms and provisions hereof shall
remain in full force and effect.



     (d) This Agreement, including the relevant provisions of the Plan, constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings, both written and oral, with respect to the subject hereof. This
Agreement may not be amended, except by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the
Executive.



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