	 Type of Option: Nonqualified stock option

 1. Under the terms and conditions of the Quicksilver Resources Inc. 2006 Equity Plan (the
“Plan”), a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, Quicksilver Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), grants to the individual whose name is set forth above (the
“Participant”) an option to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), set forth above at the price per share set forth above (the “Option”). Terms not
defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Plan. 
 2. The Option will be for a term commencing on the Date of Grant set
forth above and ending at 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the Expiration Date set forth above. During the term hereof, the Option will become vested and exercisable in accordance with the schedule set forth below (provided that in no event will the
Participant be entitled to acquire a fraction of a share of Common Stock pursuant to the Option): 
  

			
	 Portion of Option
Exercisable
	  	 On and After

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

 In the event of a Change in Control while the Participant is employed by the Company or a
Subsidiary or in the event that the Participant terminates employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries by reason of retirement at or after the age of 62 and completion of five years of service, disability (as determined by the Committee in good
faith) or death, the nonvested portion of the Option will become 100% vested and exercisable and will expire one day prior to the fifth anniversary of such retirement, disability or death. 
 If the Participant terminates employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason other than such retirement, disability or death, the
nonvested portion of the Option will be forfeited immediately and the vested portion of the Option will expire on the date that is three months after the Participant’s date of termination of employment; provided, however, that if the
Participant dies within three months after the date on which he or she terminates employment (other than due to discharge for “cause”), the vested portion of the Option will expire one day prior to the fifth anniversary of such death.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is discharged by the Company or a Subsidiary for
“cause” (as defined below), the right to exercise this Option will terminate immediately upon such discharge. “Cause” means willful or gross misconduct or willful failure by the Participant to perform his or her employment
responsibilities in the best interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, breach by the Participant of any provision of any employment, nondisclosure, non-competition or other similar agreement between the
Participant and the Company or a Subsidiary), as determined by the Company, which determination will be conclusive. The Participant will be considered to have been discharged “for cause” if the Company determines, within 30 days after the
Participant’s resignation, that discharge for cause was warranted. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement
to the contrary, this Option will expire and may not be exercised after the Expiration Date set forth above. 
 3. The exercise price for
shares purchased by the Participant may be paid (i) in cash or personal check acceptable to the Company, (ii) by the transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock having a value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise
price, (iii) with the consent of the Committee, by authorizing the Company to withhold a number of shares having a value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price or (iv) by a combination of the foregoing methods.

 4. The Participant will have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock underlying the
Option until such time that the Participant has been determined to be a stockholder of record by the Company’s transfer agent or one or more certificates of shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Participant upon due exercise of the
option. Further, nothing herein will confer upon Participant any right to remain in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary. 
 5. The
Participant hereby accepts and agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Any amendment to the Plan will be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the Plan amendment is applicable
hereto; provided, however, that no amendment will adversely affect the rights of the Participant under this Agreement without the Participant’s consent.

 1. Under the terms and conditions of the Quicksilver Resources Inc. 2006 Equity Plan (the
“Plan”), a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, Quicksilver Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), grants to the individual whose name is set forth above (the
“Director”) the number of restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), set forth above (the “Restricted Shares”). Terms not defined in this Agreement have the
meanings set forth in the Plan. 
 2. The Restricted Shares may not be transferred, sold, pledged, exchanged, assigned or otherwise
encumbered or disposed of by the Director, except to the Company, until the Restricted Shares become vested in accordance with the schedule set forth below. Any purported transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the Restricted Shares before
they become vested will be null and void, and the other party to any such purported transaction will not obtain any rights to or interest in the Restricted Shares. 
 The Restricted Shares will become fully vested on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, provided that the Director has remained a member of the Board through such first anniversary. If the Director ceases to be
a member of the Board prior to the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, the nonvested Restricted Shares will be forfeited immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control while the Director is a member of the Board,
any nonvested Restricted Shares will automatically become 100% vested. 
 3. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Director will have all
of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote such shares and receive any dividends that may be paid thereon; provided, however, that any additional shares of Common Stock or other securities that
the Director may become entitled to receive pursuant to a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, separation or reorganization or any other change in the capital structure of the Company will be
subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Shares. 
 4. The Director hereby accepts and agrees to be bound by all the terms and
conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Any amendment to the Plan will be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the Plan amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment will adversely affect the
rights of the Director under this Agreement without the Director’s consent.

	 Type of Option: Nonqualified stock option

 1. Under the terms and conditions of the Quicksilver Resources Inc. 2006 Equity Plan (the
“Plan”), a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, Quicksilver Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), grants to the individual whose name is set forth above (the
“Director”) an option to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), set forth above at the price per share set forth above (the “Option”). Terms not
defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Plan. 
 2. The Option will be for a term commencing on the Date of Grant set
forth above and ending at 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the Expiration Date set forth above. During the term hereof, the Option will become vested and exercisable in accordance with the schedule set forth below. 
 The Option will become vested and exercisable as to 1/12th of the total number of shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) on the last day of the first full calendar month following the Date of Grant, as to 1/12th of the total number or shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) on the last day of each of the 10 succeeding calendar months, and as to the
balance of the shares on the last day of the calendar month preceding the first anniversary of the Date of Grant; provided, in each case, that the Director has remained a member of the Board through the respective vesting date. Notwithstanding the
vesting dates set forth above, in the event of a Change in Control while the Director is a member of the Board, the nonvested portion of the Option will become 100% vested and exercisable. 
 In the event that the Director ceases to be a member of the Board by reason of retirement at or after the age of 55 and completion of five years of
service on the Board, disability (as determined by the Committee in good faith) or death, the nonvested portion of the Option will be forfeited immediately and the vested portion of the Option will expire one day prior to the fifth anniversary of
such retirement, disability or death. 
 If the Director’s service on the Board is terminated for cause pursuant to Section 141(k)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law (or any successor provision), the right to exercise this Option will terminate immediately. 
 If the
Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason other than such retirement, disability, death or termination for cause, the nonvested portion of the Option will be 

 
forfeited immediately and the vested portion of the Option will expire on the date that is three months after the date that Director ceases to be a member of
the Board. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Option will expire and may not be
exercised after the Expiration Date set forth above. 
 3. The exercise price for shares purchased by the Director may be paid (i) in
cash or personal check acceptable to the Company, (ii) by the transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock having a value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing
methods. 
 4. The Director will have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock
underlying the Option until such time that the Director has been determined to be a stockholder of record by the Company’s transfer agent or one or more certificates of shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Director upon due exercise of
the option. Further, nothing herein will confer upon Director any right to remain in service on the Board. 
 5. The Director hereby accepts
and agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Any amendment to the Plan will be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the Plan amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that
no amendment will adversely affect the rights of the Director under this Agreement without the Director’s consent.
