	•	 	 Annual Bonus Plan: You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Executive Bonus Compensation Plan or such successor arrangement (if
any) as the Board may from time to time establish. Your target annual bonus opportunity for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 is 80% of your annual base salary pro-rated based on earnings received during the fiscal year. Zero to 200% of
target will be earned based on achievement of Operating Income, Operating Margin, Working Capital as a % of Sales, Customer Disappointment Rate and Safety performance objectives during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. The relevant
corporate performance objectives are determined by the Board or its Human Resources Committee each fiscal year.

shortly after your start date, which is typically in your first normally scheduled paycheck. All terms and conditions related to the Sign-On Bonus are contingent upon your execution of the Employee Reimbursement Agreement – Sign-On Bonus which
is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

  

	•	 	 One-Time Restricted Stock Unit Award: On your start date, you will receive a one-time restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of
common stock of the Company with a fair market value on that date 

	 	 
of $350,000.00. This award will vest, and 100% of the shares subject thereto will become deliverable, on the third anniversary of the grant date. This award will be documented in an
individual award agreement as soon as practical following your start date, and such award agreement will then constitute the exclusive terms of the award. A draft of this agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

  

	•	 	 Relocation Benefits – You will be expected to relocate your primary residence to the general vicinity of the Company’s principal
executive offices. To facilitate this, you will be entitled to the relocation benefits described in the Executive Relocation Policy attached hereto as Exhibit C. All terms and conditions related to Relocation are contingent upon your

	•	 	 Long Term Incentive Grants: The Company generally grants equity awards to its senior executives annually. The terms of these awards are
determined by the Human Resources Committee of Carpenter’s Board of Directors. You will be eligible to receive an annual award at the time these grants are made to all employees in similar positions. The next anticipated grant will be made in
July 2013. 

  

	•	 	 Health, Welfare and Retirement Benefits: You will be eligible to participate in the employee benefit programs applicable to our salaried

	•	 	 Executive Severance Plan: Your employment by the Company is “at will” and may be terminated by the Company or by you at any time.

benefits included in the Severance Pay Plan for Executives of Carpenter Technology Corporation attached hereto as Exhibit D. 

  

	•	 	 Change in Control Severance: You will be entitled to severance benefits in the event of a change in control, as described in the Change in
Control Severance Plan attached hereto as Exhibit E. For avoidance of doubt, benefits under this section will be in lieu of, not in addition to, the severance benefits described in the Severance Pay Plan for Executives of Carpenter Technology
Corporation. 

  

	•	 	 Intellectual Property, Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenants: In your capacity as an executive of the Company, you will be exposed to the
Company’s most sensitive and proprietary information and technology, and will be provided with access to the Company’s most valuable and carefully cultivated business relationships. Accordingly, your employment is conditioned upon your
execution of the Intellectual Property, Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F. 

	•	 	 Indemnification: To address your right to indemnification for acts performed in your capacity as an executive, the Company will enter into an
Indemnification Agreement with you substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.

January 26, 2013 or any part of your annual bonus for 2012, Carpenter will reimburse you for any forfeited amount. 

 You
represent and warrant that there are no restrictions, agreements or understandings whatsoever that would prevent or make unlawful your execution of this letter, that would be inconsistent or in conflict with this letter or your obligations
hereunder, or that would otherwise prevent, limit or impair your ability to be employed by the Company. 
 Your ownership of or transactions in
securities of the Company will be subject to the Company’s insider trading policies and stock ownership guidelines from time to time in effect. 
 Reimbursement by the Company of any expense will be subject to Company policies and practices in effect from time to time and will be further subject to the requirements of Treas. Reg. §§

 Any payment or transfer of property to you will be subject to tax withholding to the extent
required by applicable law. 
 This letter constitutes our entire agreement and understanding regarding the matters addressed herein, and merges
and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements, and understandings of every nature between us regarding these matters. 

This letter will be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to the application of the
principles of conflicts of laws. 
 This offer of employment is contingent upon your successfully meeting all of Carpenter’s terms of

 4. Lapse of Restrictions on Death, Disability or
Retirement. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, in the event of termination of Participant’s employment prior to vesting by reason of (i) death, or (ii) Disability the Units will not be forfeited and the
Participant shall become vested with respect to the Units on the same date as such death or Disability. In the event of a Participant’s Retirement during a Restriction Period, the Participant shall be vested in not less than a pro rata portion
of the Units subject to such Restriction Period based on the number of days during the applicable Restriction Period during which the Participant was employed. Upon a Participant’s Retirement all unvested Units shall be forfeited; provided
however, that the Committee reserves the right to vest unvested Units. 
 5. Time and Form of Payment. Payment of vested
Units shall be made as soon as practicable (but not later than 30 days) following the close of a Restriction Period or, if earlier, within 30 days following the earlier of the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement that constitutes a
“Separation from Service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. Payment shall be in the form of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units subject hereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the
Participant’s Award is 

  
 1 

 
subject to the application of Code Section 409A and if the Participant is a “Specified Employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and the Treasury regulations and other
guidance thereunder, the Participant may not receive payment with respect to any Units earlier than 6 months following the Participant’s separation from service, except that in the event of the Participant’s earlier death, such Units shall
be paid within 30 days after the Company receives notice of the Participant’s death. 
 6. Voting Rights. The
Participant will not have the right to vote with respect to the Units prior to payment of Common Stock in satisfaction of the Units. 
 7. Dividend Equivalencies. Upon the payment of dividends on Common Stock prior to payment of Common Stock in satisfaction of the Units, the Company will, within 30 days following the date the
dividend was paid to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock, pay to the Participant a dividend equivalent provided that the Participant was employed by the Company on the date the dividend was paid to holders of the Company’s Common
Stock. 
 8. Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, any remaining conditions on forfeiture with
respect to the Units shall immediately lapse pursuant to Section 8 of the Plan. 
 9. Tax Withholding. Participant
authorizes the Company to deduct, to the extent required by statute or regulation, from payments of any kind due to Participant or anyone claiming through Participant, the aggregate amount of any federal, state, local or other taxes required to be
withheld in respect of any present or future Award under the Plan. 
 10. Non-competition Covenant. This Section 10
shall be and become effective upon the Participant’s termination of Company employment or otherwise at the Committee’s (as defined in the Plan) discretion. 
 Participant’s Promises. Participant shall not for a period of eighteen (18) months after termination of Company employment, either himself or together with other persons, directly or
indirectly, (i) own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of or become the employee, consultant or independent contractor of any business engaged in the research, development,

shall be 

  
 2 

 
absolutely entitled to obtain equitable relief, including without limitation temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, permanent injunctions, and specific performance. The foregoing
remedies and relief shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies available to the Company. In addition to the other remedies in this Section to which the Company may be entitled, the Company shall receive attorneys’ fees and any
other expenses incident to its maintenance of any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement. 
 11. Severability.

unenforceability and all other covenants and provisions shall remain valid and enforceable.

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE 
  

Carpenter Technology Corporation’s (Carpenter) relocation policy is designed to assist a relocating employee in completing the transfer in an
expeditious and comfortable manner. Accepting a new job assignment that requires a move to a new location provides both challenges and opportunities for career development and personal growth. This package provides you with specific information on
Carpenter’s policy and general information on moving. The information is intended to make your move go as smoothly as possible. 
  

 
 ELIGIBILITY 

 
 This policy applies to current and new hire Senior
Executives with a Job Profile ID of E1 – E4 who are homeowners at the time that Carpenter requests that they transfer to a new location. 

Full time employees are eligible for relocation assistance if all of the following conditions are met: 

 

	 	•	 	 The move must satisfy the IRS “distance test” to be eligible for tax assistance for relocation expenses. The move will meet the
distance test if your new job location is at least fifty (50) miles farther from your former home than your old job location was from your former home. 

 

	 	•	 	 The move must take place within twelve (12) months of your hire date (new hire) or the effective date of your transfer (current employee).

  

	 	•	 	 The relocation must be managed by Xonex Relocation, Inc. (Xonex) from the start of the relocation process, prior to listing the home for
sale. This allows for maximum value from this program and provides for better management of the relocation expenses. 

  

	 	•	 	 Benefits apply to your eligible dependents (spouse, domestic partners, fiancé, and dependent children) that permanently reside with you at the
time you were authorized to relocate and who will reside with you in the new location. In the event that an additional member of your household is asked to relocate by Carpenter, only one individual is eligible to receive relocation benefits.

expected to repay to Carpenter a pro-rated portion of any relocation expenses paid to you or on your behalf. The reimbursement schedule is set forth below and in the Employee Reimbursement Agreement attached as an exhibit to your employment offer
letter. A signed copy of the Agreement must be returned to Carpenter’s Employment Department in order to receive relocation benefits.

MARKETING ASSISTANCE FOR HOMEOWNERS 

 
 The Xonex Relocation Marketing Assistance Program
is a comprehensive program designed to offer you professional advice in marketing your home. This program has proven results in sales within a short time period at a more than satisfactory price. 

 

			
	 

	  	 •     Marketing Assistance will be provided through Xonex. Employees must utilize the program
and are not to list their current residence with any Realtor prior to initiation of the Marketing Assistance counseling.

		
		  	 •     The listing agreement must contain an exclusion clause.

 HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS 
 The Marketing Assistance Program is designed to help you sell your home at the old location for the best possible price within the relocation time frame. Your RSM will assist you in the selection of two
qualified, experienced real estate professionals, who will be asked to complete a thorough market analysis of your home. If you have a real estate agent that you would like to use, who is experienced, knowledgeable of the local market, familiar with
relocation procedures, and willing to agree to the terms and conditions of the Xonex Relocation Broker Management Agreement, Xonex will include that agent as one of the two selected brokers. 
 The two selected agents will meet with you to inspect your home and discuss their qualifications and strategy to market your home effectively. 
 After viewing your home, the agents will research comparable sales and competitive listings, current market conditions, and other data. They will then prepare a report reflecting their opinions of a
suggested list price and the probable sale price of the property within a 120-day marketing period. 
 Xonex will review the reports with you,
and you will then select one of the agents to list your home. Xonex will monitor the performance of the selected agent throughout the marketing period and keep you advised of changes in the market and prospect comments, and will help you to assess
your options if a change in strategy seems necessary.

BUYER VALUE OPTION HOME SALE PROGRAM 

 
 Carpenter realizes that the disposal of your home
has a financial impact on you and your family. Therefore, we have designed a program benefit that will assist you with covering closing costs in a manner that provides favorable tax treatment to you and to Carpenter, providing certain IRS guidelines
are followed. It is mandatory that you utilize Xonex to coordinate the home selling in order to take advantage of this relocation benefit option. 
 Your RSM is available to assist you in your negotiations, which will be done verbally. When you and the purchaser agree on the price and terms of the sale, you should contact your RSM so that the
transaction can be closed under the Buyer Value Option (BVO) Program. 
  

	 	•	 	 Do not sign the contract! When an offer to purchase is received, you should not sign the contract or accept any earnest money. If you do,
the real estate commission and all closing costs become taxable income to you, and you will then be responsible for all federal, state, local and FICA taxes. 

 

	 	•	 	 Do not sign the offer. Xonex will prepare a contract of sale for you with the same price and terms. 

 

	 	•	 	 If you receive an offer while eligible for the Marketing Assistance Program, Xonex will review it and, if the offer is determined to be bona-fide, you
will be relieved of handling closing arrangements and paying related costs. 

  

	 	•	 	 You will sign a separate Contract of Sale as “Seller” and return it to the Xonex closing services provider as “Buyer”.

  

	 	•	 	 Xonex, through its closing services provider, will then, as the “Seller,” enter into a separate Contract of Sale with the outside buyer.

 HOME SALE PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY 
 The property must be your primary place of residence. In addition, the property must: 
  

	 	•	 	 Have operational electrical, plumbing, and heating systems 

 

	 	•	 	 Be structurally sound and completely constructed 

  

	 	•	 	 Have a marketable title recorded in your name 

  

	 	•	 	 Meet all code requirements with necessary permits 

  

	 	•	 	 Be able to be mortgaged under customary lending practices

 Home sale program eligibility applies only to private residences and specifically excludes farms,
co-ops, houseboats, homes without a permanent foundation, undeveloped building lots, homes with a value less than $50,000 or greater than $1,000,000 or with prior approval, second homes, historic properties, contiguous land parcels, excessive
acreage (> 5 acres), unfulfilled contractual obligations to purchase a residence and income-producing property. 
 If a home is determined,
through professional inspections, to have toxic materials and/or potential structural defects that will affect the sale of the property or place Carpenter in a position of legal consequences, the property may not be eligible for home sale assistance
through Carpenter. Such items might include LP siding, synthetic stucco, asbestos, radon, or other toxic materials. All other benefits of the program (i.e. Marketing Assistance, Home Finding Assistance) will remain in place. 

If your home is deemed not eligible for the home sale program, you will be reimbursed for the home selling expenses described above and tax assistance
(gross-up) will be provided. 
  
  

HOME SALE CLOSING COSTS 
  

If the home is deemed ineligible under the BVO program, Carpenter will reimburse you for the following costs related to the sale of your current home,
which are considered normal and customary. If the home sale is closed through Xonex under the BVO program, these costs will be billed directly to Carpenter and there will be no tax impact to you. 

 

	 	•	 	 Real estate commission, normal and customary for the area 

 

	 	•	 	 Pre-payment penalties (subject to approval) 

  

	 	•	 	 Title examination 

  

	 	•	 	 Transfer and recording fees 

  

	 	•	 	 Required municipal fees and transfer documentation (Certificate of Occupancy, etc.) 

The above selling costs will be reimbursed to you if your home is eligible and you do not close the home sale through Xonex utilizing the BVO program.
However, no tax assistance will be provided and taxes will be withheld from your reimbursement. This payment is considered taxable income and subject to the appropriate tax withholding. An itemized list of expenses (HUD-1 settlement statement) must
be submitted to Xonex for audit and reimbursement. 
  
  

HOME FINDING SERVICES 
  

Xonex will provide you with a real estate agent who is knowledgeable about the local marketplace to assist you in finding a new home and community. This
agent will provide step-by-step assistance throughout the home finding process.

	 	Employees are not to take a home finding trip, or contact any Realtors, prior to counseling by their RSM.

 SERVICES PROVIDED: 
  

	•	 	 You will be provided with community and housing information through an experienced and knowledgeable real estate agent through the Professional
Destination Services Program. 

  

	•	 	 You will receive assistance in negotiating an offer on the home you wish to purchase or lease, as applicable. 

Before you begin house hunting, your agent can provide you with a packet of information about the new area, tailored to your needs and interests,
including school, shopping, church, and recreation information. You will be given a tour of the area to narrow down the communities to consider. You will then view houses within the selected communities that meet your criteria until you find the
house that you wish to purchase. 
 Before you make an offer to purchase or lease, you may request that the agent provide a Pre-Purchase Market
Analysis of the home, showing the listing and sale prices of homes that are similar to this one, noting any features that make those homes more or less valuable than the one you’ve chosen. This Pre-Purchase Market Analysis will indicate the
Fair Market Value Range for the home, so that you will be prepared to begin negotiations. You will receive assistance in negotiating strategies, information on local market conditions, and appropriate clauses to add to the contract for protection.

 Follow-up on all details of the transaction, such as mortgage loan commitment progress, adherence to time constraints, inspection results and
negotiations will ensure that the purchase closes in a timely manner.

EQUITY ADVANCE 
  

An advance of equity is available through Carpenter to assist with associated costs of purchasing a home in the new location. The equity advance amount
will be based on the “established value” of your home in the old location. The established value will be based on the agreed upon sales price, less any property debt (e.g. liens, required repairs, taxes). An equity advance may be processed
only when the home that is being sold is under contract with inspection results negotiated, AND you have received an acceptance from the seller of your offer to purchase a home in the new location. The amount of the loan shall be based on the
lender’s Good Faith Estimate of Buyer’s Closing Costs, not to exceed 80% of the established equity in the home being sold. You will be required to sign an Equity Advance Agreement and Promissory Note for the amount to be advanced. Equity
advanced will be withheld from the final proceeds payment. 
 Note: Certain Executives/Officers may not be eligible for equity loans due to
SOX / SEC regulations. Confirm eligibility with the Corporate Secretary. 
  

 
 MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE 

 
 Carpenter has established relationships with
several national lenders to assist with the loan approval process for the purchase of a new home. These are optional programs, and you are free to shop for a mortgage with any lender you choose. The national lenders can provide a wide variety of
mortgage programs with competitive rates, quick approval times, and direct billing of authorized closing costs to Carpenter. You will not be required to cover these expenses in advance or submit them for reimbursement. 

Should you elect to use mortgage services from a lender other than one of the participating national lenders, you should plan to pay all closing costs at
the time of closing, and then submit a signed copy of the final settlement statement (HUD-1) to Xonex as soon as possible after closing for audit and reimbursement. 
  

 
 HOME PURCHASE CLOSING COSTS

  
 If you are purchasing a home in
the new location, Carpenter will reimburse you for a loan origination fee or one discount point not to exceed 1% of the loan amount, and normal and customary Borrower’s closing costs. 
 Expenses related to the following items are typical Borrower’s closing costs: 
  

	 	•	 	 Underwriting 

  

	 	•	 	 Document Processing 

  

	 	•	 	 Title insurance or fees for examination of title as required by lender

income and this payment will be grossed-up to assist with the tax burden. Although you will receive assistance in the tax burden associated with the Miscellaneous Allowance and other taxable benefits, Carpenter strongly advises that you consult an
income tax professional prior to your relocation for proper financial planning of this event. 
 Xonex will disburse payment of the Allowance
upon receipt of your signed Reimbursement Agreement and after your hire date (new hire) or effective start date (current EE) in the new location.

 Reimbursements included in the non-taxable category include: 
  

	 	•	 	 En route travel and lodging for members of the employee’s household from the old location to the new location. Mileage reimbursements in excess of
federal rates are taxable

 ADDENDUM TO HOMEOWNER RELOCATON POLICIES 

(Effective April 1, 2008 
 Restated March 18,2009 
 Amended December 6, 2010)

 In an effort to provide relief to transferees affected by the depressed housing market, the following benefit may be available to
eligible homeowner transferees with active relocations on or after April 1, 2008. Carpenter reserves the right to amend or rescind this Addendum at any time. 
 Duplicate Housing 
 Generally, transferees sell their present home or have an
agreement to sell before they take on the financial obligations of a new home. However, if the transferee purchases and occupies a home in the new location while still financially responsible for the home in the old location, Carpenter will
reimburse interest on the mortgage (not principle), property taxes, homeowner insurance, and homeowner association fees on the lower of the two properties based on the total expense to Carpenter (factoring in applicable tax gross-up amount resulting
from payments of these expenses). The duplicate housing benefit is subject to approval by Human Resources. 
 If the transferee rents in
the new location while trying to sell the home in the old location, Carpenter will reimburse the lesser of the rent in the new location or mortgage interest, property tax, insurance, and homeowner association fees on the old home . Based on
the total expense to Carpenter (factoring in applicable tax gross-up amount resulting from payments of these expenses). 
 Duplicate housing
expenses will be reimbursed upon receipt of a Relocation Expense Report accompanied by an account statement showing the payment breakdown for the period submitted for reimbursement. The accuracy of the statement is necessary for accurate tax
reporting. In order to be reimbursed for this benefit, the transferee must submit a copy of their mortgage statement on the old and new properties itemizing the interest, taxes, insurance and homeowner association fees. In the event that any of the
reimbursable expenses listed are not included in the transferee’s mortgage payment, documentation for the annual expense must be submitted. The expense will be prorated and reimbursed on a monthly basis. If the transferee rents in the new
location, a signed copy of the lease must be submitted for review. Security deposits are not eligible for reimbursement. 
 Note:
Reimbursements will be reported as additional income on the transferee’s W-2. Reimbursement for interest and real estate taxes will be grossed-up for FICA and Medicare since these expenses are generally deductible on Schedule A of the
transferee’s 1040 tax return. Eligibility for duplicate housing applies only to your primary residence, and your current home must be listed on the market at a price no higher than 105% of the established market value, as determined through
averaging two comparable Broker Market Analyses. The BMA’s should be within 5% of each other. 
 The transferee agrees to
aggressively market the home and make adjustments accordingly. Unless otherwise amended or rescinded, Carpenter will reimburse for temporary living, and/or duplicate housing for a period not to exceed eighteen (18) months. 

If this benefit is being utilized in conjunction with a Loss on Sale benefit, the combined benefit coverage shall not exceed $25,000. 

 ADDENDUM TO HOMEOWNER RELOCATON POLICIES 

(Effective October 1, 2010 
 Amended December 6, 2010) 
 The Loss on Sale Addendum is an exception to the Carpenter
relocation policy. Unless this benefit is specifically authorized for an individual transferee, this program shall not be considered as approved. Carpenter reserves the right to amend or rescind this Addendum at any time. 

Loss on Sale Coverage 

When you sell your home in the departure location, the selling price may fall short of the original purchase price creating a loss situation. If
approved, and your property qualifies for this benefit, Carpenter will reimburse up to $25,000 of recognized loss. 
 Qualifications:

 You must have owned and occupied your home as your primary place of residence on the date you were first notified of your transfer.

 You will need to fully participate in the home sale assistance program, following the established guidelines, to be eligible for loss on sale
assistance. 
 If Carpenter is providing a Duplicate Housing Benefit, the Loss on Sale benefit coverage will be reduced by the total amount of
Duplicate Housing coverage. 
 Following are the guidelines: 
  

	 	•	 	 Use an approved network broker 

  

	 	•	 	 List your home at 103% of the average most likely sales price based on two (2) Broker Market Analysis’s and adhere to all marketing
guidelines in the policy 

  

	 	•	 	 Sign all the legal documents for the transfer of your property within one (1) year of your transfer date 

 

	 	•	 	 The property must sell within 12 months of the effective start date at the new location 

Calculation: The loss is considered the difference between the original net purchase price and the final net sales price (your contract price with
XONEX). Capital improvements and repairs or maintenance expenses are not included in the calculation, as the value of such items are considered in the purchaser’s offering. 
 Carpenter expects you to properly maintain the property and fully cooperate in the marketing process, to ensure the best possible agreement terms. Payments may be denied if the real estate agent,
appraiser/inspector determines that the home has been neglected and suffers from deferred maintenance. 
 Loss on Sale payments will be made
after the property has settled. The loss payment will be tax assisted, which means that Carpenter will gross up to cover tax burden on the transferee. 
 Note: Reimbursements will be reported as additional income on the transferee’s W-2.

Employee may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under this Plan. 
 Section 6.06. No Contract of
Employment. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving an Employee, or any person whomsoever, the right
to be retained in the service of any Employer, and all Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted. 
 Section 6.07. Severability of Provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of
this Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect.

headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan. 

Section 6.09. Unfunded Plan. All payments of monetary benefits provided under the Plan shall be paid from the
general assets of the Employer and no separate fund shall be established to secure payment of vested amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may establish a grantor trust to assist it in funding Plan obligations; provided, however, that
such trust shall at all times remain located within the United States. Any payments of vested amounts made to an Employee or other person from any such trust shall relieve the Employer from any further obligations under the Plan only to the extent
of such payment. Nothing herein shall constitute the creation of a trust or other fiduciary relationship between the Employer and any other person. No Employee shall have any right to, or interest in, any particular assets of any Employer which may
be applied by such Employer to the payment of benefits or other rights under this Plan. 
 Section 6.10. Payments
to Incompetent Persons, Etc. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent person or other person incapable of giving a receipt therefor shall be deemed paid when paid to such person’s guardian or to the party
providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment shall fully discharge the Employer, the Human Resources Committee and all other parties with respect thereto.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall otherwise control.

 Section 6.12. Binding Effect. Obligations incurred by the Employer
pursuant to this Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employer, its successors and assigns, and the Employee and any beneficiary or other successor in interest of the Employee. 

Section 6.13. Code § 409A. The Plan is intended to be exempt from the application of Code § 409A. To the
extent this Plan is determined to be subject to Code § 409A and a provision of the Plan is contrary to or fails to address the requirements of Code 
 § 409A and related Treasury Regulations, the Plan shall be construed and administered as necessary to comply with such requirements to the extent allowed under applicable Treasury Regulations until
the Plan is appropriately amended to comply with such requirements. Furthermore, to the extent this Plan is determined to be subject to Code § 409A, any payment made on account of the Termination of a “specified employee” (as
determined under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i)) shall be made on the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Employee’s Termination to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code § 409A and related Treasury
Regulations; provided, however, that the payments of vested amounts to which the Employee would have been entitled during such 6-month period, but for this Section, shall be accumulated and paid to the Employee on the first (1st) day of the seventh (7th) month following the Employee’s Termination.

 Exhibit E 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 CARPENTER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION 

CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE PLAN 
 INTRODUCTION 
 As is the case with many publicly held corporations, there
exists the possibility of a Change in Control of the Company. This possibility and the uncertainty it creates may result in the loss or distraction of employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the detriment of the Company and its
stockholders. The avoidance of such loss and distraction is essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. 
 When a Change in Control is perceived as imminent, or is occurring, the Company should be able to receive and rely on disinterested service from employees regarding the best interests of the Company and
its stockholders without concern that employees might be distracted or concerned by the personal uncertainties and risks created by the perception of an imminent or occurring Change in Control. 

It is consistent with the employment practices and policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries and in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders to treat fairly its employees whose employment terminates in connection with or following a Change in Control. Accordingly, it has been determined that appropriate steps should be taken to assure the Company and its Subsidiaries
of the continued employment and attention and dedication to duty of their employees and to seek to ensure the availability of their continued service, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in Control. 

Therefore, in order to fulfill the above purposes, the Carpenter Technology Corporation Change in Control Severance Plan was developed
and adopted. 
 The Company now desires to make certain amendments to the Carpenter Technology Corporation Change in Control
Severance to provide benefits that are more comparable to other companies in the Company’s industry. 
 Therefore, in order
to fulfill the immediately preceding purpose, the Carpenter Technology Corporation Change in Control Severance Plan has been amended and restated in its entirety effective September 1, 2010, with the exception of certain prospective amendments

 (ii) by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less

Annual 

  
 -5-

 
Bonus opportunity, as in effect during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Change in Control (or as such amounts may be increased from time to time), other than as a result of an
isolated and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith; (ii) the Employer requiring the Participant to relocate his or her principal place of business to a location which is more than 35 miles from his or her previous principal place of
business; (iii) the assignment to the Participant of any duties inconsistent in any material and adverse respect with the duties assigned to the Participant during the 120-day period immediately prior to a Change in Control, other than an
isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action that is not taken in bad faith; or (iv) any material reduction in benefits of the Participant, as in effect during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Change in Control, other than as a
result of an isolated and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith; provided, however, that no material reduction shall be deemed to have occurred following a Change in Control if the benefits provided to the Participant are
(A) reasonably equivalent to the benefits provided to similarly situated employees of the company resulting from a Business Combination and its subsidiaries, and (B) comparable to the benefits provided to the Participant immediately prior
to the Change in Control; (v) any purported termination of the Plan otherwise than as expressly permitted by the Plan; or (vi) any failure by the Employer to comply with and satisfy Article VI of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a

termination for Good Reason, the Participant shall provide written notice to the Company of the existence of one or more of the conditions described in clauses (i) through (iv) within 90 days after the Participant has knowledge of such
condition or conditions, and the Company shall have 30 days following receipt of such written notice (the “Cure Period”) during which it may remedy the condition. In the event that the Company fails to remedy the condition constituting
Good Reason during the Cure Period, the Participant must terminate employment, if at all, within 90 days following the Cure Period in order to terminate employment for Good Reason. Effective on the later of September 1, 2013 or the third
anniversary of the date on which notice of the amendment of this section of the Plan is provided to Participants, “Good Reason” shall mean a Participant’s voluntary termination of employment within the ninety (90) day period
following the initial existence of one or more of the following conditions arising without the Participant’s consent: 
 (i) a material diminution in the Participant’s Annual Salary; 

(ii) a material permanent diminution in the Participant’s authority, duties, or responsibilities; 

(iii) a material change in the geographic location at which the Participant must perform services which is at least fifty
(50) miles from his or her current principal place of work; 
 (iv) change in title from Chief Executive
Officer or Chief Financial Officer to a non-Chief Executive Officer or non-Chief Financial Officer title; or 

  
 -6-

 (v) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the
Company or a Subsidiary of any employment agreement between the Participant and the Company or Subsidiary; and 
 within thirty (30) days
following the initial existence of a condition described in subsections (i) through (iv) above, the Participant must provide notice to the Company or Subsidiary of the existence of the condition, and the Company or Subsidiary must fail to
remedy the condition within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. 
 (p) Participant. Any Employee whose
employment is classified as job class 9 or above and any other Employee employed by the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies in an equivalent position who is designated as a Participant by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company;
provided, however, that no individual who is a party to a separately executed change in control or similar agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies entered into prior to a Change in Control shall be a Participant
so long as such agreement remains in force. Each individual who is a Participant immediately prior to a Change in Control shall remain a Participant at least until the second anniversary of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
individuals employed primarily outside of the United States are not eligible to be Participants. Effective on the later of September 1, 2013 or the third anniversary of the date on which notice of the amendment of this section of the Plan is
provided to Participants, this subsection shall be applied by substituting “Job Profile E1 or above” for “ job class 9 or above.” 
 (q) Plan. Amended and Restated Carpenter Technology Corporation Change in Control Severance Plan. 
 (r) Separation Benefits. The benefits described in Section 4.2 and Appendices A, B and C that are provided to qualifying Participants under the Plan. 

(s) Subsidiary. Any corporation in which the Company, directly or indirectly, holds a majority of the voting power of such
corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock. 
 (t) Target Annual Bonus. The Participant’s target bonus
under the Company’s annual incentive plans for the fiscal year in which such Participant’s Date of Termination occurs (or, if no target bonus has been set for such fiscal year, the Participant’s target bonus for the immediately
preceding fiscal year). 
 ARTICLE III 
 ELIGIBILITY 
 A Participant shall cease to be a Participant in the Plan
only as a result of an amendment or termination of the Plan complying with Article VI of the Plan, or when the Participant ceases to be an Employee of any Employer, unless, at the time the Participant ceases to be an Employee, such Participant is
entitled to payment of a Separation Benefit as provided in the Plan. A Participant entitled to payment of a Separation Benefit or any other amounts under the Plan shall remain a Participant in the Plan until the full amount of the Separation Benefit
and any other amounts payable under the Plan have been paid to the Participant.

 ARTICLE IV 
 SEPARATION BENEFITS 
 3.1 Terminations of Employment Which Give Rise to
Separation Benefits Under This Plan. A Participant shall be entitled to Separation Benefits as set forth in Section 4.2 below if, at any time during the two-year period immediately following a Change in Control, the Participant’s
employment is terminated (i) by the Employer for any reason other than Cause, death, or Disability or (ii) by the Participant for Good Reason. 
 3.2 Separation Benefits. If a Participant’s employment is terminated in circumstances entitling such participant to Separation Benefits pursuant to Section 4.1, the Company shall provide
to such Participant, within ten days following the Date of Termination, a lump sum cash payment and the continued benefits and outplacement as set forth in Appendix A, B or C, as applicable, For purposes of determining the benefits set forth in
Appendix A, B or C, if the termination of the Participant’s employment is for Good Reason based upon a reduction of the Participant’s Annual Salary, opportunity to earn Target Annual Bonuses, or other compensation or employee benefits,
such reduction shall be ignored. 
 3.3 Other Benefits Payable. To the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the
Company shall timely pay or provide 
 (or cause to be paid or provided) to a Participant entitled to the Separation Benefits,
any amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided to the Participant, or which the Participant is eligible to receive, under the General Retirement Plan for Employees of Carpenter Technology Corporation (the “GRP”), and the
Separation Benefits shall be reduced, dollar for dollar (but not below zero), by any amounts received by the Participant pursuant to the GRP. Any other severance pay or pay in lieu of notice required to be paid to such Participant under applicable
law or under any other severance pay plan or policy of the Company or any Employer, including, without limitation, under the Severance Pay Plan for Salaried Employees of Carpenter Technology Corporation (but excluding the GRP) shall be reduced,
dollar for dollar (but not below zero), by the Separation Benefits. The Separation Benefits shall in no event affect a Participant’s eligibility for or entitlement to benefits under the GRP or any other qualified or nonqualifed retirement or
pension benefit or welfare or fringe benefit plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement of the Company and its Affiliated Companies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Participant’s resignation under this
Agreement with or without Good Reason, shall in no way affect the Participant’s ability to terminate employment by reason of the Participant’s “retirement” under any compensation and benefits plans, programs or arrangements of
the Affiliated Companies, including without limitation any retirement or pension plans or arrangements or to be eligible to receive benefits 

  
 -8-

 
under any compensation or benefit plans, programs or arrangements of the Affiliated Companies, including without limitation any retirement or pension plan or arrangement of the Affiliated
Companies or substitute plans adopted by the Company or its successors, and any termination which otherwise qualifies as Good Reason shall be treated as such even if it is also a “retirement” for purposes of any such plan. 

3.4 Certain Reduction of Payments by the Company. 
 (a) Reduction of Certain Payments. For purposes of this Section 4.4: (i) a “Payment” shall mean any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation to or for the
benefit of the Participant, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Plan or otherwise; (ii) “Plan Payment” shall mean a Payment paid or payable pursuant to this Plan (disregarding this Section 4.4);
(iii) “Present Value” shall mean such value determined in accordance with Sections 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) and 280G(d)(4) of the Code; and (iv) “Reduced Amount” shall mean an amount expressed in Present Value
that maximizes the aggregate Present Value of Plan Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company or Employer because of Section 280G of the Code. 

(b) Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or such other accounting firm selected
by the Company prior to the Change in Control (the “Accounting Firm”) shall determine that receipt of all Payments would subject the Participant to tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the aggregate Plan Payments shall be
reduced (but not below zero) to meet the definition of Reduced Amount. 
 (c) If the Accounting Firm determines that aggregate
Plan Payments should be reduced to the Reduced Amount, the Company shall promptly give the Participant notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof, and the Participant may then elect, in his or her sole discretion, which and
how much of the Plan Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the Present Value of the aggregate Plan Payments equals the Reduced Amount), and shall advise the Company in writing of his or her election within 30 days
of his or her receipt of notice. If no such election is made by the Participant within such 30-day period, the Company may elect which of such Plan Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the Present Value of the
aggregate Plan Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the Participant promptly of such election. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this Section shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant and shall be made
within 60 days of a termination of employment of the Participant. As promptly as practicable following such determination, the Company shall pay to or distribute for the benefit of the Participant such Plan Payments as are then due to the
Participant under this Plan and shall promptly pay to or distribute for the benefit of the Participant in the future such Plan Payments as become due to the Participant under this Plan. 

(d) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the
Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of the 

  
 -9-

 
Participant pursuant to this Plan which should not have been so paid or distributed (“Overpayment”) or that additional amounts which will have not been paid or distributed by the
Company to or for the benefit of the Participant pursuant to this Plan could have been so paid or distributed (“Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the
Accounting Firm, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against either the Company or the Participant which the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success determines that an Overpayment has been
made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to the Participant which the Participant shall repay to the Company together with interest at the
applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no such loan shall be deemed to have been made and no amount shall be payable by the Participant to the Company if and to the extent
such deemed loan and payment would not either reduce the amount on which the Participant is subject to tax under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon
controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant together with interest at the applicable federal rate
provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. 
 (e) All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in implementing the
provisions of this Section 4.4 shall be borne by the Company. 
 ARTICLE V 

SUCCESSOR TO COMPANY 
 4.1 This Plan shall bind any successor of the Company or to all or substantially all of its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the
same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place. 
 4.2
In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the
Company’s obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 DURATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 

5.1 Duration of Plan. If a Change in Control has not occurred and the Board does not have knowledge of an event that could
reasonably be expected to constitute a Change in Control, this Plan may be terminated by resolution adopted by the Board; provided that the 

  
 -10-

 
Participants are given written notice of such termination three years in advance of such termination. If a Change in Control occurs while this Plan is in effect, this Plan shall continue in full
force and effect for at least two years following such Change in Control, and shall not terminate or expire until after all Participants who become entitled to any payments hereunder shall have received such payments in full. 

5.2 Amendment or Termination. The Board may amend or terminate this Plan; provided, that this Plan may not be terminated or
amended in a manner adverse to Participants prior to the third anniversary of the date on which notice of such amendment or termination is provided to the Participants or during the two-year period following a Change in Control. 

5.3 Procedure for Extension, Amendment or Termination. Any extension, amendment or termination of this Plan by the Board in
accordance with the foregoing shall be made by action of the Board in accordance with the Company’s charter and by-laws and applicable law. 
 5.4 Delegation of Power to Amend or Termination. The powers of the Board under this Section 6 may be delegated to the Human Resources Committee of the Board. 

ARTICLE VII 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 6.1 Full Settlement. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for under this Plan and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against a Participant or others. In no event shall a Participant be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the
amounts payable to the Participant under any of the provisions of this Plan and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Participant obtains other employment. The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law,
all legal fees and expenses which a Participant may reasonably incur as a result of any contest by the Company, the Participant or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Plan or any guarantee of
performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Participant about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Plan), provided, that the Participant shall be required to reimburse the Company for such payments if the
Participant does not prevail on substantially all of the issues in connection with such dispute. 
 6.2 Employment
Status. This Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Participant or the Participant’s Employer any obligation for the Participant to remain an Employee or change the status of the Participant’s employment or
the policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries regarding termination of employment. For purposes of this Plan, employment with any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any parent corporation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be
treated as continued employment with the Company. 

  
 -11-

 6.3 Confidential Information. Each Participant shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for
the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Participant during the
Participant’s employment by the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Participant or representatives of the Participant in violation of this Plan). After
termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company, the Participant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information,
knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 7.3 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable under
this Plan. 
 6.4 Named Fiduciary; Administration. The Company is the named fiduciary of the Plan, and shall administer
the Plan, acting through the Plan Committee of the GRP (the “Administrative Committee”). 
 6.5 Claim
Procedure. If an Employee or former Employee makes a written request alleging a right to receive benefits under this Plan or alleging a right to receive an adjustment in benefits being paid under the Plan, the Company shall treat it as a claim
for benefit. All claims for benefit under the Plan shall be sent to the Administrative Committee and must be received within 30 days after termination of employment. If the Company determines that any individual who has claimed a right to receive
benefits, or different benefits, under the Plan is not entitled to receive all or any part of the benefits claimed, it will inform the claimant in writing of its determination and the reasons therefor in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant. The notice will be sent within 60 days of the claim. The notice shall make specific reference to the reasons for denial and pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, and describe any additional material or information
necessary for the claim to succeed and a description of why it is necessary. Such notice shall, in addition, inform the claimant what procedure the claimant should follow to take advantage of the review procedures set forth below in the event the
claimant desires to contest the denial of the claim. The claimant may within 90 days thereafter submit in writing to the Company a notice that the claimant contests the denial of his or her claim by the Company and desires a further review. The
Administrative Committee shall within 60 days thereafter review the claim and authorize the claimant to appear personally and review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments relating to the claim to the persons responsible for making the
determination on behalf of the Company. The Company will render its final decision with specific reasons therefor and in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and will transmit it to the claimant within 60 days of the written request
for review. If the Company fails to respond to a claim filed in accordance with the foregoing within 60 days, the Company shall be deemed to have denied the claim. This Section 7.5 shall not serve to prohibit any Participant from bringing an
action in a court of competent 

  
 -12-

 
jurisdiction to enforce his or her rights under the Plan after satisfaction of the foregoing procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the claims and appeals procedure provided for in this
Section 7.5 will be provided for the use and benefit of Participants who may choose to use such procedures, but compliance with the provisions of these claims and appeals procedures will not be mandatory for any Participant claiming benefits
after a Change in Control. It will not be necessary for any Participant to exhaust these procedures and remedies after a Change in Control prior to bringing any legal claim or action, or asserting any other demand, for payments or other benefits to
which such participant claims entitlement. 
 6.6 Unfunded Plan Status. All payments pursuant to the Plan shall be made
from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established or other segregation of assets made to assure payment. No Participant or other person shall have under any circumstances any interest in any particular
property or assets of the Company as a result of participating in the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) create one or more grantor trusts, the assets of which are subject to the claims of the
Company’s creditors, to assist it in accumulating funds to pay its obligations under the Plan. 
 6.7 Validity and
Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect, and any prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

6.8 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan shall in all respects be governed by the
laws of the State of Delaware without reference to principles of conflict of law, except to the extent pre-empted by Federal law. 
 6.9 Top-Hat Plan. For purposes of ERISA, the Plan is intended to constitute a “top-hat” plan, as described in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA and the regulations
promulgated thereunder. 
 6.10 Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to
the extent that the benefits provided under subsections (b) and (c) of Appendices A, B and C, Section 4.4, and Section 7.1 are not “disability pay” or “death benefit” plans within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), then (i) the amount of such benefits provided during one calendar year shall not affect the amount of such benefits provided in any other taxable year, except to the extent such benefits consist of the
reimbursement of expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code in which case a limitation may be imposed on the amount of such reimbursements as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv)(B); (ii) any benefits
that are reimbursements must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the fee or expense was incurred (provided, that the Participant shall have submitted an invoice for such fee or expense at least
10 days before the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which such fee or expense was incurred) or, in the case of the benefits under Section 4.4, the tax was due to the

  
 -13-

 
applicable taxing authority; and (iii) to the extent any such benefit is an in-kind benefit, such benefit may not be liquidated or exchanged for another benefit. In addition, within the time
period permitted by the applicable Treasury Regulations, the Company may, in consultation with the Participant, modify the Agreement, in the least restrictive manner necessary and without any diminution in the value of the payments to the
Participant, in order to cause the provisions of the Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, so as to avoid the imposition of taxes and penalties on the Participant pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. The
Plan is intended to be exempt from the application of Code Section 409A. To the extent this Plan is determined to be subject to Code Section 409A and a provision of the Plan is contrary to or fails to address the requirements of Code
Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations, the Plan shall be construed and administered as necessary to comply with such requirements to the extent allowed under applicable Treasury Regulations until the Plan is appropriately amended to
comply with such requirements. Furthermore, to the extent this Plan is determined to be subject to Code Section 409A, any payment made on account of the termination of a “specified employee” (as determined under Treas. Reg. §
1.409A-1(i)) shall be made on the date that is six (6) months after the Employee’s Date of Termination to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations; provided, however,
that the payments of vested amounts to which the Employee would have been entitled during such 6-month period, but for this Section, shall be accumulated and paid to the Employee on the first (1st) day of the seventh (7th) month following
the Employee’s Date of Termination.

any action or proceeding to enforce the Covenants, you agree not to assert the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists. Rather, if you breach any of the Covenants, Carpenter shall be absolutely entitled to obtain equitable relief,
including without limitation temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, permanent injunctions, and specific performance. Carpenter will also have the right and remedy to require you to account for and pay over to Carpenter all
compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by you as the result of such breach. The foregoing remedies and relief shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies available to Carpenter. In

	(ii)	Extension of Restricted Period. 

 If you
breach the Covenants in any respect, the Restricted Period will be extended for a period equal to the period that you were in breach. 
  

	(iii)	Judicial Modification. 

 If a court
determines that the Covenants (or any portion thereof) are unenforceable because of their duration, scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties that such court then modify the Covenants to the minimum extent necessary and, in their
modified form, for the Covenants to then be enforceable. Moreover, if any court holds the Covenants (or any portion thereof) unenforceable by reason of their duration or scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties that such determination
not bar or in any way affect the right of Carpenter to the relief provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the scope of such Covenants.

	(iv)	Disclosure. 

 You agree to disclose the
existence and terms of the Covenants to any person for whom you perform services during the Restricted Period. 
  

	C.	ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 

 You acknowledge that
the Covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Carpenter and its affiliates, that the duration and scope of the Covenants are reasonable given the position you will hold within Carpenter, and that Carpenter would
not have entered into the Offer Letter or otherwise agreed to employ you, unless you had agreed to be bound by the Covenants. 

SECTION 5. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  

	A.	SEVERABILITY 

 If one or more of the
provisions of this Agreement are deemed void or unenforceable by law, then the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any legal action arising out of this Agreement shall be venued in Berks County, Pennsylvania.

 PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL 

Exhibit G 

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT 
 This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of this     day of December, 2012 by and between Carpenter Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and Tony
Thene (“Indemnitee”) effective upon a mutually agreed upon start date. 
 RECITALS 

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as directors or in other capacities
unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation. 

WHEREAS, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the
Company, and Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). 
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis,
at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. 

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining
such persons. 
 WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is
detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future. 

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses
on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified. 

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and
any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto and any liability insurance, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder. 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and
insurance as adequate in the present 

  

 
circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve,
continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he be so indemnified; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and
agree as follows: 
 1. Services to the Company. Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve, at the will of the Company,
as an officer, director or key employee of the Company for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation; however, this Agreement shall not impose any obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to
continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company beyond any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or commitments or the parties, if any. 
 2. Definitions. As used in this Agreement

(ii) Change in Board of Directors. During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution

least a majority of the members of the Board; 
 (iii) Corporate Transactions. The effective date of a merger or consolidation
of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining

Company, by reason of or relating to any action taken by him or of any action on his part while acting as director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of the Company, or by reason of
the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another Enterprise, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any Loss or Expense is incurred for which

 3. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee was or is, or was or is threatened to be made,

shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to
the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and

claim, issue or matter and any claim, issue or matter related to any claim, issue, or matter on which the Indemnitee was successful. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a
Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. 
 6. Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding
to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. 
 7. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

 (a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity
provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or 

(b) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within
the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or 
 (c) in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee prior to a Change of Control against the Company or its directors, officers, employees
or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to
the powers vested in the Company under applicable law. 
 8. Advances of Expenses. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall advance the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with 

  
 - 6 -

 
any Proceeding for which indemnification is or may be available pursuant to this Agreement within 20 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances
from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to
Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include any and all Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred
preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances solely upon the execution and delivery to the Company of an undertaking providing that the Indemnitee undertakes to repay
the advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined pursuant to Section 11(a) that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in respect thereof. 
 9. Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company is obligated under Section 8 hereof to pay, and pays the Expenses of any Proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be
entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do. After delivery of such notice,
approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same
Proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his counsel in any such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the
Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel approved
by the Indemnitee to assume the defense of such Proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. 
 10. Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim. 
 (a) Indemnitee shall,
as a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement,
provided however, that a delay in giving such notice shall not deprive Indemnitee of any right to be indemnified under this Agreement unless, and then only to the extent that, such delay is materially prejudicial to the defense of such claim. The
omission to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability for indemnification which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for
indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. 
 (b) The Company will be entitled
to participate in any Proceeding at its own expense. 

  
 - 7 -

 11. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification. 

(a) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 10(a), a determination, if
required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy
of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (B) by a committee of Disinterested
Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, or (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a
written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination.
Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any
documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the
Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 
 (b) In the event the determination of
entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 11(b). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the
Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent
Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it
of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the
case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as
defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written
objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after
submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Court or by such
other person as 

  
 - 8 -

 
the Court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 11(a) hereof. Upon the
due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of
professional conduct then prevailing). 
 12. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. 

(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such
determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any
determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that
indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such
applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
 (b) If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 11 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within
sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a
misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such
indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to
entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 12(b) shall
not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement. 
 (c) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not
(except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any applicable standard of conduct under applicable law (or did or
did not hold any particular state of knowledge referred to under applicable law). 

  
 - 9 -

 (d) Reliance as Safe Harbor. For purposes of any determination of good faith,
Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the
Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert
selected with the reasonable care by the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 12(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. 
 (e) Actions of Others. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to
act, of any director, officer, agent, trustee, fiduciary or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. 

13. Remedies of Indemnitee. 
 (a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of
Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement within 30 days after receipt by the Company
of the request for indemnification, or (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 5 or the last sentence of Section 11(a) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a
written request therefor, or , if a determination is required by law, within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication (or, in the case of
clause (i), to seek an adjudication) by the Delaware Court or by any court in the State of Pennsylvania of his entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 13 shall be
deemed to limit Indemnitee’s rights under Section 12(b). Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in binding arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration. 
 (b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration
commenced pursuant to this Section 13 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding
or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be. 

(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material
fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. 

  
 - 10 -

 (d) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration
commenced pursuant to this Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the
provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance such expenses to
Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement, under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws as in
effect from time to time or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of
Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be. 
 14. Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance;
Subrogation. 
 (a) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall
not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a
resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee
in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently
under the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy
herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. 
 (b) The Company shall, from time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable
insurance companies providing the directors, officers, employees, trustees, fiduciaries and agents of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this
Agreement. Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage. To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing
liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, trustees, fiduciaries and agents of the Company or of any other corporation, 

  
 - 11 -

 
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in
accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to
the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.
The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. 

(c) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights. 

(d) The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable (or for which advancement
is provided hereunder) hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise 
 (e) The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary or agent
of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. 
 15. Settlement. 

(a) The Company shall have no obligation to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding
by the Indemnitee effected without the Company’s prior written consent. 
 (b) The Company shall not, without the prior
written consent of Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee, any non-monetary remedy affecting or obligation of
Indemnitee, or Monetary Loss for which Indemnitee is not indemnified hereunder or (ii) with respect to any Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee may be or is made a party, witness or participant or may be or is otherwise entitled to seek
indemnification hereunder, does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee.

 (c) Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement. 

  
 - 12 -

 16. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the
later of: (a) 10 years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee served at the request of the Company; or (b) 1 year after the final termination of any Proceeding, including any and all appeals, then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is
granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement relating thereto. 

17. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the
benefit of Indemnitee and his heirs, executors and administrators. 
 18. Severability. If any provision or provisions of
this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any
Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest
extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or
unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. 
 19. Enforcement. 

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in
order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company. 

(b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 20. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date set forth on the first page and may apply to acts or omissions of Indemnitee which occurred prior to such date if
Indemnitee was an officer, director, employee, trustee, fiduciary or other agent of the Company, or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, at the time such act or omission occurred. 

  
 - 13 -

 21. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties thereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute
a continuing waiver. 
 22. Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being
served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to
so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise. 
 23. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) if delivered by hand and receipted
for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

24. Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is
unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Losses and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an
indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a
result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees, trustees, fiduciaries and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such
event(s) and/or transaction(s). 
 25. Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations
among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration or proceeding commenced by Indemnitee
pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree 

  
 - 14 -

 - 15 -Succession Agreement, dated January 9, 2013

 Exhibit 10.1 
 SUCCESSION AGREEMENT 
 This SUCCESSION AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 9th day of January, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Bill Barrett Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Fredrick J.
Barrett (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Executive served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and
as Chairman and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) through January 7, 2013 (the “Resignation Date”), and as of the date hereof has agreed to provide continued services to the
Company as an employee in a non-officer role; and 
 WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company now desire to enter into a mutually
satisfactory arrangement concerning, among other things, the Executive’s eventual separation from service with the Company, and other matters related thereto; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Executive and the Company agree as follows: 

 

	1.	Succession. 

 (a)
Termination Date. The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that his employment with the Company shall terminate on March 1, 2013 (the “Termination Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive shall continue to
participate in the Company’s broad-based compensation and benefit plans in which he currently participates or to which he is a party through the Termination Date; provided that in the event that any terms of this Agreement conflict with
the terms of any other compensation or benefit plan, the terms of this Agreement shall exclusively govern; and provided further that nothing herein shall result in the payment of duplicate amounts or benefits. 

(b) Resignation of Board and Officer Positions. The Executive acknowledges that on the Resignation Date, the Executive resigned his
positions as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as Chairman and a member of the Board and as a member of any committees of the Board on which he may serve, and as a member of the board of directors of, or as a manager or any
other position with, any of the Company’s affiliates. From the Resignation Date until the Termination Date, the Executive shall continue to serve as an employee of the Company, in a non-officer role with the title of Geoscience Advisor to the
Board of Directors, assisting with the leadership transition and performing such other duties as may be delegated to the Executive by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or the Board. 

(c) Acknowledgments. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that for purposes of all plans, agreements, policies and arrangements of
the Company and its affiliates in which the Executive participates, including the Company’s Severance Plan and all awards denominated in the common stock of the Company held by the Executive, the resignation of the Executive from his positions
with the Company and its affiliates on the Resignation Date and the cessation of the Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates on the Termination Date is a voluntary resignation by the Executive. Moreover, in the case of any
such plan, agreement, policy or arrangement that includes the concept of resignation with “good reason” or a similar 

 term of like meaning, the Executive agrees that this voluntary resignation will be considered to have been
made without “good reason” or such similar term. Further, from and after the Effective Date, the Executive waives any right to resign from the Company and its affiliates for “good reason” or a similar term of like meaning for
purposes of any plan, agreement, policy or arrangement of the Company and its affiliates. 
 2. Separation Payments and Benefits. In
consideration of the Executive’s service to the Company and the Executive’s agreement to comply with the terms of this Agreement, specifically including without limitation the restrictive covenants in Section 3 of this Agreement and
the “Release” (as defined in Section 5 of this Agreement), the Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits set forth below on or following the Termination Date. 

(a) Accrued Obligations. Within 30 days following the Termination Date, the Executive shall be entitled to receive a cash payment
equal to any base salary and vacation benefits accrued but unpaid or unused as of the Termination Date. 
 (b) Severance
Payment. The Executive shall be entitled to receive a cash severance payment in an amount equal to $2,000,000 (the “Severance Payment”), which Severance Payment shall be made in eight equal installments of $250,000 beginning,
subject to Section 10(c) of this Agreement, on June 3, 2013 and on the first business day of each third calendar month thereafter (e.g., the second payment will be made on September 2, 2013), with the last payment being made on
March 2, 2015 (the period between the Termination Date and the last such payment, the “Severance Period”). 

(c) Stock-Based Awards. Each award denominated with respect to the common stock of the Company that is held by the Executive as of
the Termination Date shall be treated as follows: 
 (i) Stock Options. Each stock option held by the
Executive on the Termination Date, whether vested or unvested, shall become fully vested and exercisable on the Termination Date and shall remain exercisable until the earlier of December 31, 2013 and the expiration of the original term of such
stock option. Any stock option which has not been exercised by December 31, 2013 shall be forfeited and cancelled. 
 (ii) Restricted Stock Awards. Each restricted stock award held by the Executive on the Termination Date shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the Termination Date. 

(iii) Performance Share Awards. Each performance share award held by the Executive on the Termination Date shall be
treated in accordance with its existing terms, resulting in the performance share award granted to the Executive on February 9, 2010 becoming vested in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement and based on the Company’s
performance through December 31, 2012, and all other performance share awards held by the Executive on the Termination Date being forfeited and canceled on the Termination Date. 

(d) 2012 Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible to receive a bonus in respect of 2012 pursuant to the Company’s Performance
Cash Program, in an amount determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee thereof in a manner consistent with that used for the Company’s executive officer group generally. 

  
 2 

 (e) Deferred Compensation Plan. The Executive shall be entitled to a distribution of
his accrued deferred compensation in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan. 
 (f) 401(k)
Plan. The Executive shall be entitled to a distribution of his account balance in the Company’s 401(k) Plan in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive shall not be eligible for an employer match with
respect to the Company’s 401(k) plan for any portion of 2013. 
 (g) Health Care Benefits. During the Severance
Period, the Company shall provide the Executive and his eligible dependents with medical and dental insurance coverage (the “Health Care Benefits”) equivalent to those which the Executive and his eligible dependents were receiving
immediately prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that (i) the cost of the Health Care Benefits (based on prevailing rates under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with any
Treasury regulations promulgated or other Treasury guidance thereunder, the “Code”) or other applicable law (“COBRA”)) shall be reported by the Company as taxable income to the Executive to the extent reasonably
determined by the Company to be necessary to avoid the Health Care Benefits from being considered to have been provided under a discriminatory self-insured medical reimbursement plan pursuant to Section 105(h) of the Code, but otherwise such
coverage shall be provided at the same after-tax cost to the Executive and/or the Executive’s eligible dependents as required by this Section 2(g), (ii) the Health Care Benefits may, if elected by the Company, be provided through the
Executive electing coverage under COBRA for the maximum allowable period and the Company’s paying the premiums for such coverage on the Executive’s behalf, (iii) if the Executive becomes re-employed with another employer and is
eligible to receive health care benefits under another employer-provided plan, the health care benefits provided hereunder shall cease from and following the first date of such eligibility, and (iv) to the extent such coverage cannot be
provided to the Executive following the expiration of the maximum applicable COBRA period because it is not allowed by a third-party insurance carrier, or to the extent the provision of such coverage would result in tax penalties to Executive
pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, in lieu of such coverage the Company shall pay to the Executive on the first day of each month of the Severance Period in which such coverage is not provided an amount in cash equal to the cost of the
Executive purchasing such coverage on the open market, as reasonably determined by the Company. 
 (h) Employee Assistance
Program. During the Severance Period, the Executive shall be permitted to participate in the Company’s Employee Assistance Program, in accordance with the terms of such program as in effect from time to time. 

(i) Outplacement Services. During the three months following the Termination Date, the Executive shall be provided with
outplacement services as determined by the Company. 
 (j) Effect of Payments on Compensatory Arrangements. The Executive
acknowledges that the payments and benefits to which he becomes entitled pursuant to this 

  
 3 

 
Section 2 and otherwise solely on account of the termination of his employment shall not be considered in determining his benefits under any plan, agreement, policy or arrangement of the
Company and its affiliates, including but not limited to the Company’s 401(k) plan and other deferred compensation arrangements. The payments and benefits provided under this Section 2 shall be in full satisfaction of the obligations of
the Company and its affiliates to the Executive under this Agreement or any other plan, agreement, policy or arrangement of the Company and its affiliates upon his termination of employment, and in no event shall the Executive be entitled to
severance pay or benefits beyond those specified in this Section 2. 
  

	3.	Restrictive Covenants; Effect of Certain Terminations. 

  

	(a)	Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. 

 (i) The Company and the Executive agree that, during the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive has had and will continue to have access to, and has gained and will
continue to gain knowledge with respect to, “Confidential Information” (as defined below). The Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, during the period of the Executive’s
employment with the Company and thereafter for so long as it remains Confidential Information, use or disclose, or knowingly permit any unauthorized Person (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to use, disclose or
gain access to, any Confidential Information; provided, however, that the Executive may disclose Confidential Information (x) as required by law or (y) as ordered by a court, provided that in any event described in the
preceding clause (x) or (y), (A) the Executive shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and consult with and assist the Company in seeking a protective order or request for another appropriate remedy, (B) in the event that such
protective order or remedy is not obtained, or if the Company waives compliance with the terms of the preceding clause (A), the Executive shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that, in the opinion of the Executive’s
legal counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and shall exercise reasonable best efforts to assure that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such Confidential Information by the receiving Person and (C) to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Company shall be given an opportunity to review the Confidential Information prior to disclosure thereof. As requested by the Company from time to time and upon the Termination Date, the Executive shall promptly deliver to the
Company all copies and embodiments, in whatever form (including electronic), of all Confidential Information in the Executive’s possession or control irrespective of the location or form of such material and, if requested by the Company, shall
provide the Company with written confirmation that all such materials have been delivered to the Company. 
 (ii)
Without limiting the foregoing, the Executive agrees to keep confidential the existence of, and any information concerning, any dispute between the Executive and the Company or any of its affiliates, except that the Executive may disclose
information concerning such dispute to the court that is considering such dispute or to the Executive’s legal counsel (provided that such counsel agrees not to disclose any such information other than as necessary to the prosecution or
defense of such dispute).

 (iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential
Information” means information, observations and data concerning the business and affairs of the Company or any of its affiliates, including all business information (whether or not in written form) that relates to the Company or any of its
affiliates, or their directors, officers, employees, customers, suppliers or contractors or any other third parties with respect to which the Company or any of its affiliates has a business relationship or owes a duty of confidentiality, or their
respective businesses or products, and that is not known to the public generally other than as a result of the Executive’s breach of this Agreement, including technical information or reports; trade secrets; unwritten knowledge and
“know-how”; geologic concepts; exploration plans; operating instructions; training manuals; customer lists; customer buying records and habits; product sales records and documents, and product development, marketing and sales strategies;
market surveys; marketing plans; profitability analyses; product cost; long-range plans; information relating to pricing, competitive strategies and new product development; information relating to any forms of compensation or other
personnel-related information; contracts; and supplier lists. Confidential Information shall not include such information known to the Executive prior to the Executive’s involvement with the Company or any of its affiliates or information
rightfully obtained from a third party (other than pursuant to a breach by the Executive of this Agreement or any other duty of confidentiality). 
  

	(b)	Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. 

 (i) Within the “Geographic Territory” (as defined below) and during the period of the Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates and during the Severance Period (the
“Restriction Period”), the Executive shall not: 
 (A) directly or indirectly, without the prior
written consent of the Company, engage in or invest as an owner, partner, stockholder, licensor, director, officer, agent or consultant for any Person that conducts a business that is directly in competition with a business then conducted by the
Company or any of its affiliates; provided, however, that this provision shall not prevent the Executive from passively investing as a less than two percent stockholder in the securities of any company listed on a national
securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system; or 
 (B) accept employment with any Person that
conducts a business that is directly in competition with a business then conducted by the Company or any of its affiliates if such employment would result in the Executive being involved in the management, operations or business affairs of such
Person. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, “Geographic Territory” means any state, foreign country or other
political subdivision in which the Company or any of its affiliates does business. 
 (ii) During the Restriction
Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, (A) actively solicit, recruit or hire any Person who is at such time, or who at any time during the three-month period

  
 5 

 
prior to such solicitation or hiring had been, an employee or consultant of the Company or any of its affiliates, (B) solicit or encourage any employee of the Company or any of its
affiliates to leave the employment of the Company or any of its affiliates or (C) interfere with the relationship of the Company or any of its affiliates with any Person or entity who or that is employed by or otherwise engaged to perform
services for the Company or any of its affiliates. 
 (iii) During the Restriction Period, the Executive shall
not, directly or indirectly, interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and any of their respective customers,
partners, suppliers or stockholders on the other hand. 
 (iv) The Restriction Period shall be tolled during (and
shall be deemed automatically extended by) any period during which the Executive is in violation of the provisions of this Section 3(b). 
 (v) In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Section 3(b) is invalid or more restrictive than permitted under the governing law of such jurisdiction,
then, only as to enforcement of this Section 3(b) within the jurisdiction of such court, such provision shall be interpreted and enforced as if it provided for the maximum restriction permitted under such governing law. 

(c) Nondisparagement. From and following the Effective Date, the Executive shall not make, either directly or by or through another
Person, any oral or written negative, disparaging or adverse statements or representations of or concerning the Company or its affiliates, any of their clients or businesses or any of their current or former officers, directors or employees;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit (i) confidential, critical communications between the Executive and the Company or its representatives in connection with the Executive’s employment or (ii) the
Executive from disclosing truthful information if legally required (whether by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process). 

(d) Return of Property. The Executive acknowledges that all documents, records, files, lists, equipment, computer, software or
other property (including intellectual property) relating to the businesses of the Company or any of its affiliates, in whatever form (including electronic), and all copies thereof, that have been or are received or created by the Executive while an
employee of the Company or any of its affiliates (including Confidential Information) are and shall remain the property of the Company and its affiliates, and the Executive shall immediately return such property to the Company upon the termination
of the Executive’s employment and, in any event, at the Company’s request; provided, however, the Executive shall be permitted to retain his Company-issued cell phone, subject to the Company’s removal of all Company data
stored on such cell phone. The Executive further agrees that any property situated on the premises of, and owned by, the Company or any of its affiliates, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to
inspection by the Company’s personnel at any time with or without notice. 

  
 6 

 (e) Remedies and Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges that a violation by
the Executive of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the Company and its affiliates in an amount that would be material but not readily ascertainable, and that any remedy at law (including the payment
of damages) would be inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in addition to any other damages it is able to show, the Company shall be entitled (without the necessity of
showing economic loss or other actual damage) to (i) cease payment of the Severance Payment and return of any portion of the Severance Payment already paid and (ii) injunctive relief (including temporary restraining orders, preliminary
injunctions and permanent injunctions), without posting a bond, in any court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or threatened breach of any of the covenants set forth in this Agreement in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies it
may have. The preceding sentence shall not be construed as a waiver of the rights that the Company may have for damages under this Agreement or otherwise, and all such rights shall be unrestricted. 

(f) Acknowledgments. 
 (i) The Executive acknowledges that the Company and its affiliates have expended and will continue to expend substantial amounts of time, money and effort to develop business strategies, employee,
customer and other relationships and goodwill to build an effective organization. The Executive acknowledges that the Company has a legitimate business interest in and right to protect its Confidential Information, goodwill and employee, customer
and other relationships, and that the Company would be seriously damaged by the disclosure of Confidential Information and the loss or deterioration of its employee, customer and other relationships. The Executive further acknowledges that the
Company and its affiliates are entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of the Company to the extent permitted by law. 
 (ii) In light of the foregoing acknowledgments, the Executive agrees that the covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the businesses and
goodwill of the Company and its affiliates. The Executive further acknowledges that, although the Executive’s compliance with the covenants contained in this Agreement may prevent the Executive from earning a livelihood in a business similar to
the business of the Company, the Executive’s experience and capabilities are such that the Executive has other opportunities to earn a livelihood and adequate means of support for the Executive and the Executive’s dependents. 

(iii) Prior to execution of this Agreement, the Executive was advised by the Company of the Executive’s right to seek
independent advice from an attorney of the Executive’s own selection regarding this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges that the Executive has entered into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily and with full knowledge and understanding of
the provisions of this Agreement after being given the opportunity to consult with counsel. The Executive further represents that, in entering into this Agreement, the Executive is not relying on any statements or representations made by any of the
Company’s directors, officers, employees or agents that are not 

  
 7 

 
expressly set forth herein, and that the Executive is relying only upon the Executive’s own judgment and any advice provided by the Executive’s attorney. 

(iv) In light of the acknowledgements contained in this Section 3(f), the Executive agrees not to challenge or
contest the reasonableness, validity or enforceability of any limitations and obligations contained in this Agreement. 
 (g)
Effect of Certain Terminations. If the Executive’s employment is terminated prior to the Termination Date (i) by the Company for “cause,” (ii) by the Executive for any reason or (iii) on account of the
Executive’s death or “disability” (as each quoted term is defined in the applicable plan, agreement, policy or arrangement of the Company in which the Executive participates or to which he is a party), the payments and benefits to
which the Executive is entitled on account of such termination shall be determined pursuant to each such plan, agreement, policy or arrangement and without regard to Section 2 of this Agreement. Except as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence with respect to Section 2 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall otherwise remain in effect following any termination of employment under circumstances described in this Section 3(g). 

4. Cooperation. In consideration of the payments and benefits set forth in this Agreement, the Executive agrees that he shall remain available to
the Company following his cessation of employment with the Company (whether or not on the Termination Date) to provide assistance in transitioning to an interim Chief Executive Officer and subsequently to a permanent Chief Executive Officer,
complete any pending projects, manage handoff of relationships and provide such other advice, expertise or knowledge with respect to his duties as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Board or the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer from time to time. In addition, the Executive agrees to provide assistance to the Company and its advisors in connection with any audit, investigation or administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding
involving matters within the scope of his duties and responsibilities to the Company during his employment with the Company, or as to which he otherwise has knowledge (including being available to the Company upon reasonable notice for interviews
and factual investigations, and appearing at the Company’s reasonable request to give testimony without requiring services of a subpoena or other legal process). In the event that the Company requires the Executive’s assistance in
accordance with this section, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including travel, lodging and meals) incurred by the Executive in connection with such assistance, subject to reasonable documentation and
compliance with the Company’s standard expense reimbursement policy. 
 5. General Release. The Executive acknowledges that, as of
the Effective Date, he is not legally entitled the payments and benefits set forth in this Agreement to which he will first become entitled following the Effective Date. In consideration of such payments and benefits, on or following the Termination
Date, but not later than 21 days following the Termination Date, the Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company a release of claims against the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their respective officers, employees,
directors, shareholders and agents, in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Release”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any other plan, policy, agreement or arrangement of the Company to the contrary, whether or not
the Executive is a party thereto, if the Executive (a) fails to execute and deliver the Release to the Company within such 21-day period, or 

  
 8 

 
(b) revokes the waiver of age discrimination claims contained in the Release in accordance with the terms thereof, the Executive shall forfeit his right to any compensation or benefits, and
repay to the Company any compensation or benefits received, to which he would not have been legally entitled had he been terminated by the Company without cause on the Effective Date. 
 6. No Mitigation; No Offset. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of
the provisions of this Agreement and, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. 
 7. Tax
Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from the benefits and payments described herein all income and employment taxes required to be withheld by applicable law. 
 8. Notices. All notices, requests, demands or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person or deposited in the
United States mail, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the party to whom such notice is being given as follows:

Attention: General Counsel

 Any party may change his or its address or the name of the person to whose attention the notice or other communication
shall be directed from time to time by serving notice thereof upon the other party as provided herein. 
 9. Successors. This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. As used in this Agreement,
“Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. 

 

	10.	Section 409A. 

 (a)
General. It is intended that payments and benefits made or provided under this Agreement shall not result in penalty taxes or accelerated taxation pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Any payments that qualify for the “short-term
deferral” exception, the separation pay exception or another exception under Section 409A of the Code shall be paid under the applicable exception. For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under
Section 409A of the Code, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be 

  
 9 

 
treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of applying the exclusion under Section 409A of the Code for short-term deferral amounts, the separation pay exception or any other
exception or exclusion under Section 409A of the Code. All payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code to the extent
necessary in order to avoid the imposition of penalty taxes on the Executive pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment under this Agreement.

 (b) Reimbursements and In-Kind Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all reimbursements
and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any
reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement); (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a
calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year
following the year in which the expense is incurred; and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 (c) Delay of Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is considered a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of
the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the Termination Date), any payment that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code that is
otherwise due to the Executive under this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Executive’s separation from service (as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code) on account of the Executive’s
separation from service shall be accumulated and paid to the Executive on the first business day of the seventh month following his separation from service (the “Delayed Payment Date”). If the Executive dies during the postponement
period, the amounts and entitlements delayed on account of Section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of his estate on the first to occur of the Delayed Payment Date or 30 calendar days after the date of the
Executive’s death. 
 (d) Separation from Service. Despite any contrary provision of this Agreement, any references
to termination of employment or date of termination shall mean and refer to the date of the Executive’s “separation from service,” as that term is defined in Section 409A of the Code and Treasury regulation
Section 1.409A-1(h). 
  

	11.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a)
Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without respect to its principles of conflicts
of laws, except to the extent governed by federal laws, and shall be construed according to its fair meaning and not for or against any party. The parties hereto irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any state or

  
 10 

 
federal court sitting in or for Denver County, Colorado with respect to any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each party irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of
such dispute or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the venue of any dispute arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute or proceeding. Each party hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may
be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in
respect of any litigation as between the parties directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or disputes relating hereto. Each of the parties hereto (i) certifies
that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other
parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications contained in this Section 11(a). 
 (b) Severability. If any provision hereof is unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part hereof, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect, and the court construing the Agreement shall add as a part hereof a provision as similar in terms and effect to such unenforceable provision as may be
enforceable, in lieu of the unenforceable provision. 
 (c) Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of this
Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. 
 (d) Amendments. This Agreement may
not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives. 
 (e) Interpretation. As used in this Agreement, the term (a) “affiliate” means an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company, and
(b) “including” does not limit the preceding words or terms.

 EXHIBIT A 
 This General Release of all Claims (this “Agreement”) is entered into on March __, 2013 by and between Bill Barrett Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
and Fredrick J. Barrett (the “Executive”). 
 In consideration of the payments and benefits set forth in the Succession
Agreement (the “Succession Agreement”) between the Executive and the Company, effective January ___, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), to which the Executive first became legally entitled following the Effective Date,
the Executive agrees as follows: 
  

	 	1.	General Release and Waiver of Claims. 

 (f) Release. In consideration of the payments and benefits provided to the Executive under the Succession Agreement to which the Executive first became legally entitled following the Effective
Date, and after consultation with counsel, the Executive and each of the Executive’s respective heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasors”) hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally release and forever discharge the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their respective officers, employees, directors, shareholders and agents (“Releasees”) from any and all
claims, actions, causes of action, rights, judgments, obligations, damages, demands, accountings or liabilities of whatever kind or character (collectively, “Claims”), including, without limitation, any Claims under any federal,
state, local or foreign law, that the Releasors may have, or in the future may possess, arising out (i) of the Executive’s employment relationship with and service as an employee, officer or director of the Company, and the termination of
such relationship or service and (ii) any event, condition, circumstance or obligation that occurred, existed or arose on or prior to the date hereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, this Agreement
shall not affect: the obligations of the Company or the Executive set forth in the Succession Agreement or any other plan, policy or arrangement of the Company or other obligations that, in each case, by their terms, are to be performed after the
date hereof by the Company or the Executive (including, without limitation, obligations to the Executive under the Succession Agreement for any severance or similar payments or benefits, under any stock option, stock or equity-based award, plan or
agreements, or payments or obligations under any pension plan or other benefit or deferred compensation plan, all of which shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms); any indemnification or similar rights the Executive has as a current
or former officer or director of the Company, including, without limitation, any and all rights thereto referenced in the Company’s bylaws, other governance documents, or any rights with respect to directors’ and officers’ insurance
policies; and the Executive’s right to reimbursement of business expenses. 
 (g) Specific Release of ADEA Claims. In
further consideration of the payments and benefits provided to the Executive under the Succession Agreement to which the Executive first became legally entitled following the Effective Date, the Releasors hereby unconditionally release and forever
discharge the Releasees from any and all Claims that the Releasors may have as of the date the Executive signs this Agreement arising under the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, and the applicable rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder (“ADEA”). By signing this Agreement, the Executive 

  

 
hereby acknowledges and confirms the following: (i) the Executive was advised by the Company in connection with his termination to consult with an attorney of his choice prior to signing
this Agreement and to have such attorney explain to the Executive the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms relating to the Executive’s release of claims arising under ADEA, and the Executive has in fact consulted
with an attorney; (ii) the Executive was given a period of not fewer than twenty-one (21) calendar days to consider the terms of this Agreement and to consult with an attorney of his choosing with respect thereto; and (iii) the
Executive knowingly and voluntarily accepts the terms of this Agreement. The Executive also understands that he has seven (7) calendar days following the date on which he signs this Agreement within which to revoke the release contained in this
paragraph, by providing the Company a written notice of his revocation of the release and waiver contained in this paragraph. 

(c) No Assignment. The Executive represents and warrants that he has not assigned any of the Claims being released under this
Agreement. 
 2. Proceedings. The Executive has not filed, and agrees not to initiate or cause to be initiated on his
behalf, any complaint, charge, claim or proceeding against the Releasees before any local, state or federal agency, court or other body, other than with respect to the obligations of the Company to the Executive under the Succession Agreement or in
respect of any other matter described in the proviso to Section 1(a) (each, individually, a “Proceeding”), and agrees not to participate voluntarily in any Proceeding. The Executive waives any right he may have to benefit in
any manner from any relief (whether monetary or otherwise) arising out of any Proceeding. 
 3. Remedies. In the event
the Executive initiates or voluntarily participates in any Proceeding following his receipt of written notice from the Company and a failure to cease such participation within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of such notice, or if he
revokes the ADEA release contained in Paragraph 1(b) of this Agreement within the seven (7)-calendar-day period provided under Paragraph 1(b), the Company may, in addition to any other remedies it may have, reclaim any amounts paid to him,
and/or terminate any benefits or payments that are subsequently due, in each case pursuant to the last sentence of Section 5 of the Succession Agreement, without waiving the release otherwise granted herein. The Executive understands that by
entering into this Agreement he will be limiting the availability of certain remedies that he may have against the Company and limiting also his ability to pursue certain claims against the Company. 

4. Severability Clause. In the event any provision or part of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, only that
particular provision or part so found, and not the entire Agreement, will be inoperative. 
 5. Nonadmission. Nothing
contained in this Agreement will be deemed or construed as an admission of wrongdoing or liability on the part of the Company. 

6. Governing Law. All matters affecting this Agreement, including the validity thereof, are to be governed by, and interpreted and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. 

  
 A-2

 7. Notices. All notices or communications hereunder shall be in writing, addressed as
provided in Section 8 of the Succession Agreement. 
 THE EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT HE FULLY
KNOWS, UNDERSTANDS AND APPRECIATES ITS CONTENTS, AND THAT HE HEREBY EXECUTES THE SAME AND MAKES THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELEASE AND AGREEMENTS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN VOLUNTARILY AND OF HIS OWN FREE WILL. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has executed this Agreement on the date set forth below.
