 CABOT OIL & GAS CORPORATION 
 SUPPLEMENTAL EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN 
 (As Amended and Restated Effective as of January 16, 2008) 
 1. Plan. On January 16, 2008, Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company”) established the Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation Supplemental Employee Incentive Plan (the

goals with regard to value creation. Having reserved the right to amend the Plan under Section 11 thereof, the Company hereby amends and restates the Plan effective as of January 16, 2008 in order to make certain clarifications with regard
to eligibility for benefits. 
 2. Objectives. The Company anticipates that, by tying incentive compensation to value creation,
the Plan will motivate Eligible Employees to align their interests with the Company’s long-term business plan and shareholder interests. The Plan’s further objective is to facilitate the Company’s ability to attract and retain
talented employees by differentiating the Company as an employer of choice in a competitive talent market. By providing some compensation protection to Eligible Employees, the Plan also mitigates possible concerns about the stability of employment
relationships in a consolidating industry. Any benefit payable under this Plan is and shall be characterized for all purposes as a retention bonus payment.

or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such entity resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 35% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common equity of the
entity resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such entity except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (3) at least a majority

of the Plan, extend the Final Deadline or the Interim Deadline or otherwise amend or modify the Plan in any manner that is either (a) not materially adverse to any Eligible Employee or (b) consented to by the Eligible Employees so

in the interpretation and administration of the Plan shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned. No member of the Committee shall be liable for anything done or omitted to be
done by him, by any member of the Committee or by any officer of the Company in connection with the performance of any duties under the Plan, except for his own willful misconduct or as expressly provided by statute. 
 5. Delegation of Authority. The Committee may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer and to other senior officers of the Company its
duties under this Plan, subject to the conditions or limitations established by the Committee. 
 6. Eligibility. The Committee
has the sole authority to determine whether an individual is an Eligible Employee with respect to a particular Trigger Date. Such determination shall be made without regard to the status of such individual with respect to any other Trigger Date.

 Each person who is an Eligible Employee on both the relevant Trigger Date and the applicable Payment Date shall participate in any
distributions associated with such Trigger Date; provided, however, that, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6 and, to the extent applicable, Sections 7 and 8 of this Plan, an Eligible Employee shall not participate in any such
distribution if, on or before the Payment Date, such Eligible Employee gives notice of an intention to terminate employment with the Company for any reason other than his becoming Retired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, acting in its
sole discretion, may waive the foregoing requirements relating to the active employment of an Eligible Employee and/or the consequences of an Eligible Employee’s notice of intention to terminate employment. 
 Any person who has failed to satisfy all of the criteria necessary for classification as an Eligible Employee as of such relevant Trigger Date shall not
participate in any distributions associated with such Trigger Date, except as otherwise provided in Sections 7 and 8 of this Plan document. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee, acting in its sole discretion, may require each employee to execute an agreement on a form provided by the Committee as a condition of eligibility to participate in
the Plan. The Committee may include in the agreement or form such provisions as it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, provisions relating to the waiver of certain claims against the Company and clauses 

  

 5 

 
setting forth requirements concerning confidentiality. If the Committee elects to require the execution of such an agreement as a condition of participation
in the Plan, then any employee who does not execute the agreement in the time and manner specified by the Committee shall not be an Eligible Employee under the terms of this Plan; provided, however, that, at some later date, the Committee, acting in
its sole discretion, may offer such employee the opportunity to participate in the Plan, subject to the execution of any agreement that the Committee may deem appropriate. 
 7. Interim Distributions. Except as otherwise provided herein, if the Committee, acting in its sole discretion, determines
that an Interim Trigger Date has occurred, the Interim Distribution Amount shall be promptly distributed to Eligible Employees, Eligible Retirees and Other Employees who are selected to receive an Interim Distribution on the Interim Payment Date.

 (a) Minimum Interim Distribution to Eligible Employees. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee on the
Interim Trigger Date shall receive an Interim Distribution in an amount equal to 10% of his base salary as of the Interim Trigger Date (adjusted as described below for persons hired after the Applicable Date); provided, however, that the Committee
in its sole discretion, may reduce the amount of, or eliminate entirely, the Interim Distribution payable to an otherwise Eligible Employee if such person has been placed on probation or suspension for a period of time that includes either the
Trigger Date or the Payment Date. 
 (b) Minimum Interim Distribution to Retirees. A person who Retired after
the Effective Date but prior to the Interim Trigger Date and who would have been an Eligible Employee had the Interim Trigger Date occurred on the date of such person’s retirement shall be entitled to an Interim Distribution under the Plan if
the person was employed by the Company during at least 50% of the period from the Applicable Date to the Interim Trigger Date (a person entitled to such a payment is referred to as an “Eligible Retiree” for purposes of this
Section 7). The Minimum Interim Distribution for such Eligible Retiree shall be 10% of his base salary as of his retirement date (adjusted as described below for quarters of service). 
 (c) Death or Disability. For the purpose of determining entitlement to an Interim Distribution, an employee who has
terminated employment prior to the Interim Trigger Date as the result of death or Disability will be treated as if he had Retired on the date of such termination. 
 (d) Additional Interim Distributions. If any portion of the Interim Distribution Amount remains after the satisfaction of
all Minimum Interim Distributions, the Committee, acting in its sole discretion, shall select one or more Eligible Employees, Other Employees or Eligible Retirees to receive additional Interim Distributions. In determining the remaining allocations,
the Committee may consider such factors as group performance, individual performance and the demand for specific labor segments in the Company, as well as any other factors the Committee considers relevant. 
  

 6 

 (e) Quarters of Service. Each Eligible Employee who has not been
continuously employed by the Company from the Applicable Date to the Interim Trigger Date and each Eligible Retiree shall have his Minimum Interim Distribution reduced to reflect his time of service. Each such person’s Minimum Interim
Distribution shall equal the amount determined under the other provisions of this Section 7 multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of complete Calendar Quarters that such Eligible Employee or Eligible Retiree
worked after his Applicable Date and prior to the Interim Trigger Date, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of complete Calendar Quarters after his Applicable Date and prior to the Interim Trigger Date. 
 (f) Effect of Interim Distribution on Interim Price Goal. If any Interim Distributions are paid for achievement of the
Interim Price Goal, no further Interim Distributions will be made for achieving that Price Goal. The Committee may determine other Interim Price Goals and associated Interim Distributions at its discretion prior to the Final Deadline. 
 (g) Pro Rata Distributions in Certain Circumstances. In the event that the Interim Distribution Amount is insufficient to
provide each Eligible Employee and Eligible Retiree with the full amount described in subsections (a) and (b), then the Interim Distribution Amount shall be pro-rated such that each Eligible Employee and Eligible Retiree shall receive an equal
percentage of the amount to which he would be otherwise entitled under Sections 7(a) and 7(b) above. 
 8. Final Distributions.
Except as otherwise provided herein, if the Final Trigger Date occurs, the “Final Distribution Amount” shall be the amount that is equal to the difference between (i) the Total Pool and (ii) the sum of any prior Interim
Distributions paid. The Final Distribution Amount shall be promptly distributed to Eligible Employees, Eligible Retirees and Other Employees who are selected to receive a Final Distribution on the Final Payment Date. 
 (a) Minimum Final Distribution. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee on the Final Trigger Date shall receive a Final
Distribution in an amount equal to 50% of his base salary as of the Final Trigger Date (adjusted as described below for persons hired after the Applicable Date) reduced by the amount of any Interim Distribution previously made to such Eligible
Employee; provided however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce the amount of, or eliminate entirely, the Final Distribution payable to an otherwise Eligible Employee if such person has been placed on probation or suspension for a
period of time that includes either the Trigger Date or the Payment Date. 
 (b) Minimum Final Distribution to
Retirees. A person who Retired after the Effective Date but prior to the Final Trigger Date and who would have been an Eligible Employee had the Final Trigger Date occurred on the date of 

  

 7 

 
such person’s retirement shall be entitled to a Final Distribution under the Plan if the person was employed by the Company during at least 50% of the
period from the Effective Date to the Final Trigger Date (a person entitled to such a payment is referred to as an “Eligible Retiree” for purposes of this Section (8)). The Minimum Final Distribution for such Eligible Retiree shall be 50%
of his base salary as of his retirement date (adjusted as described below for quarters of service) reduced by the amount of any Interim Distribution previously made to such Eligible Retiree. 
 (c) Death or Disability. For the purpose of determining entitlement to a Final Distribution, an employee who has terminated
employment prior to the Final Trigger Date as the result of death or Disability will be treated as if he had Retired on the date of such termination. 
 (d) Additional Final Distributions. If any portion of the Final Distribution Amount remains after the satisfaction of all Minimum Final Distributions, the Committee, acting in its sole discretion, shall
select one or more Eligible Employees, Other Employees or Eligible Retirees to receive additional Final Distributions. In determining the remaining allocations, the Committee may consider such factors as group performance, individual performance and
the demand for specific labor segments in the Company, as well as any other factors the Committee considers relevant. 
 (e)
Quarters of Service. Each Eligible Employee who has not been continuously employed by the Company from the Applicable Date to the Final Trigger Date and each Eligible Retiree shall have his Minimum Final Distribution reduced to reflect
his time of service. Each such person’s Minimum Final Distribution shall equal the amount determined under the other provisions of this Section 8 multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of complete Calendar
Quarters that such Eligible Employee or Eligible Retiree has worked after the Applicable Date and prior to the Final Trigger Date, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of complete Calendar Quarters after the Applicable Date and prior
to the Final Trigger Date. 
 (f) Pro Rata Distributions in Certain Circumstances. In the event that the Final
Distribution Amount is insufficient to provide each Eligible Employee and Eligible Retiree with the full amount described in Sections 8(a) and 8(b), then the Final Distribution Amount shall be pro-rated such that each Eligible Employee and Eligible
Retiree shall receive an equal percentage of the amount to which he would be otherwise entitled under Sections 8(a) and 8(b) above. 
 9.
Distributions Upon Change in Control. 
 (a) Upon the consummation of a Change in Control on or before the Final
Deadline at a per share price (as determined by the Committee in the event of a transaction other than an all-cash transaction) equal to or in excess of the Price Goal, or, if such test is not met, the Interim Price Goal on or before the 

  

 8 

 
Interim Deadline, the date of such consummation shall be deemed to be the Final Trigger Date or the Interim Trigger Date, respectively, and all amounts
payable upon such Trigger Date shall be distributed in accordance with Section 7 or 8 of this Plan, as applicable. The Plan shall terminate upon the completion of all such distributions. 
 (b) In the event that 
  

	 	(i)	the Company enters into an agreement that would result in a Change in Control, or 

  

	 	(ii)	the Company enters into an agreement that the Committee determines is likely to result in a Change in Control, or 

  

	 	(iii)	the Committee otherwise determines that a Change in Control is likely to occur, 

 the Final Trigger Date (and, if relevant, the Interim Trigger Date) shall be deferred until the consummation of such transaction or Change in Control. 
 (c) If a Trigger Date would have occurred but for the operation of Section 9(b) and a Change in Control does not occur, the Committee
shall have the power 
  

	 	(i)	to deem that such Trigger Date occurred and to authorize Final Distributions or Interim Distributions under the Plan; or 

  

	 	(ii)	to continue the Plan and disregard trading occurring prior to the abandonment of the potential Change in Control. 

 If the Committee takes action under Section 9(c)(ii) above and the Final Deadline or Interim Deadline would have occurred during the deferral under
Section 9(b) or shortly after the abandonment of a potential Change in Control, the Committee shall also have the power extend the Final Deadline or the Interim Deadline, as the case may be. 
 10. Taxes. The Company shall have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any distribution and withhold an appropriate amount of such
distribution for payment of taxes required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes. 
 11. Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Board may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan for the purpose of
meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that (a) after a Trigger Date, no amendment or alteration that would materially impair any individual’s rights resulting from the
occurrence of such Trigger Date shall be made without such individual’s consent and (b) no amendment or alteration shall be effective prior to approval by the 

  

 9 

 
Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable legal requirements or applicable requirements of the securities exchange on
which the Company’s Common Stock is listed. No amendment, modification, suspension or termination of the Plan shall be effective unless and until such intentions are reduced to writing and duly executed by a Company officer with the authority
to perform such an act. 
 12. No Right of Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right
of the Company to terminate any person’s employment or other service relationship at any time, or confer upon any person any right to continue in the capacity in which he is employed or otherwise serves the Company. 
 13. Assignability. No Award or any other benefit under this Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable except as follows:

 (a) In the case of an Eligible Employee’s death after he becomes entitled to a payment as of a Trigger Date but before
such payment is made, the amount of such accrued but unpaid benefit shall be transferred to the Eligible Employee’s estate; 
 (b) A distribution under this Plan may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction that is not contrary to the terms and conditions of this Plan. 
 14. Unfunded Plan. This Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Eligible Employees or
Eligible Retirees who become entitled to distributions under this Plan, any such accounts shall be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets for the purpose of funding its obligations under
this Plan; nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts that may be distributed under this Plan. Any liability or obligation of
the Company to any individual with respect to any distribution under this Plan shall be based solely upon the contractual obligations set forth in this Plan. No security, whether by pledge or encumbrance on any property of the Company, is necessary
to secure the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Plan. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any duty imposed or in satisfaction of any obligation created by
this Plan. 
 15. Section 409A of the Code. The Company intends that any amounts payable under the Plan satisfy the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid imposition of applicable taxes thereunder. Thus, notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if any Plan provision or amount under the Plan would result in the imposition of an
applicable tax under Section 409A of the Code and related regulations and Treasury pronouncements, that Plan provision or amount will be reformed to avoid imposition of the applicable tax and no action taken to comply with Section 409A
shall be deemed to adversely affect the rights of an Eligible Employee or an Eligible Retiree to an amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any action be taken under this Section 15 that would impose any expenses upon or
increase any costs to the Company. 
  

 10 

 16. Severability. If any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any
reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof; instead, each provision shall be fully severable and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been included
herein. 
 17. Construction. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to
facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall
include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 18. Entire Contract. This Plan, together with any individual
agreements that the Committee may require pursuant to Section 6 hereof (if any), constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of the terms of this Plan. Any amendment to the Plan shall only be recognized as constituting part of this Plan if
it is adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 hereof. 
 19. Governing Law. This Plan and all
determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by mandatory provisions of the Code or the securities laws of the United States, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Texas. 
 20. Effective Date. This Plan became effective upon its approval by the Board on January 16, 2008 (the
“Effective Date”) and the amendment and restatement of the Plan shall be effective for all purposes as of the same Effective Date.
