RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
(Non-Employee Director Award)

This Agreement is made and entered into as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units (“Notice of Grant”) by and between Jagged Peak Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and you;
WHEREAS, the Company, as part of your compensation for service as a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and in order to induce you to materially contribute to the success of the Company, agrees to grant you this restricted stock unit award;
WHEREAS, the Company adopted the Plan (as defined in the Notice of Grant) under which the Company is authorized to grant restricted stock units to certain employees, directors and other service providers of the Company;
WHEREAS, a copy of the Plan has been furnished to you and shall be deemed a part of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (Non-Employee Director Award) (this “Agreement”) as if fully set forth herein and the terms capitalized but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan; and
WHEREAS, you desire to accept the restricted stock unit award made pursuant to this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and mutual covenants set forth herein and for other valuable consideration hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1.The Grant.  Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Company hereby grants you effective as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Notice of Grant, as a matter of separate inducement but not in lieu of any cash or other compensation for your services for the Company, an award (the “Award”) consisting of the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Notice of Grant in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, plus the additional rights to receive possible dividend equivalents, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.  
2.    No Stockholder Rights.  The Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) granted pursuant to this Agreement do not and shall not entitle you to any rights of a holder of Stock prior to the date shares of Stock are issued to you in settlement of the Award.  
3.    Dividend Equivalents.  In the event that the Company declares and pays a dividend in respect of its outstanding Stock on or after the Date of Grant and, on the record date for such dividend, you hold RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement that have not been settled, then, in the event you become vested in such outstanding RSUs, the Company shall pay to you an amount in cash equal to the cash dividends you would have received if you were the holder of record as of such record date, of the number of shares of Stock related to the portion of your RSUs that have 

1

not been settled as of such record date, such payment (“Dividend Equivalents”) to be made as and when payment is made in settlement of such RSUs in accordance with Section 6.  
4.    Restrictions; Forfeiture.  The RSUs are restricted in that they may not be sold, transferred or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until shares of Stock are issued pursuant to Section 6 following the removal or expiration of the restrictions as contemplated in Section 5 of this Agreement and as described in the Notice of Grant.  Unless otherwise set forth in the Notice of Grant, in the event you cease to serve as a member of the Board, the RSUs that are not vested on the date of such cessation of service shall be immediately forfeited unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, otherwise elects to accelerate the vesting of such RSUs.
5.    Expiration of Restrictions and Risk of Forfeiture.  The restrictions on the RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement will expire and the RSUs will become nonforfeitable as set forth in the Notice of Grant, provided that you remain a member of the Board until the applicable dates and times set forth therein.  RSUs that have become vested and non-forfeitable as provided in this Agreement are referred to herein as “Vested.”  
6.    Issuance of Stock.  Shares of Stock shall be issued to you in settlement of your RSUs to the extent your Award is Vested.  If your RSUs become Vested as a result of you remaining on the Board through the stated vesting date set forth in the Notice of Grant, the shares of Stock will be issued to you on the vesting date set forth in the Notice of Grant.  If your RSUs become vested as result of your termination of service on the Board in accordance with the Notice of Grant, the shares of Stock will be issued to you when you experience a “separation from service” in respect of your Board service, as defined pursuant to Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other applicable guidance thereunder.  If your RSUs become vested as a result of the occurrence of a Change in Control, the shares of Stock will be issued to you coincident with the Change of Control. At the time of settlement, the Company shall cause to be issued shares of Stock registered in your name in payment of the Award.  The Company shall evidence the Stock to be issued in payment of the RSUs in the manner it deems appropriate.  The value of any fractional RSU shall be rounded down at the time the Stock is issued to you.  No fractional shares, nor the cash value of any fractional shares, will be issuable or payable to you pursuant to this Agreement.  The value of shares of Stock shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time.  Neither this Section 6 nor any action taken pursuant to or in accordance with this Section 6 shall be construed to create a trust or a funded or secured obligation of any kind.  
7.    Compliance with Securities Law.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the issuance of Stock will be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state, or foreign law with respect to such securities and with the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed.  No Stock will be issued hereunder if such issuance would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state, or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed.  In addition, Stock will not be issued hereunder unless 1.%2. a registration statement under the Securities Act, is at the time of issuance in effect with respect to the shares issued or 2.%2. in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issued may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration 

2

requirements of the Securities Act.  The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares subject to the Award will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained.  As a condition to any issuance hereunder, the Company may require you to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect to such compliance as may be requested by the Company.  From time to time, the Board and appropriate officers of the Company are authorized to take the actions necessary and appropriate to file required documents with governmental authorities, stock exchanges, and other appropriate Persons to make Stock available for issuance.
8.    Continuation as a Director.  Nothing in this Agreement confers upon you the right to continue to serve as a member of the Board.
9.    Furnish Information.  You agree to furnish to the Company all information requested by the Company to enable it to comply with any reporting or other requirements imposed upon the Company by or under any applicable statute or regulation.
10.    Remedies.  The parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to recover from each other reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the successful enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement whether by an action to enforce specific performance or for damages for its breach or otherwise.
11.    No Liability for Good Faith Determinations.  The Company and the members of the Board shall not be liable for any act, omission or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to this Agreement or the RSUs granted hereunder.
12.    Execution of Receipts and Releases.  Any payment of cash or any issuance or transfer of RSUs or other property to you, or to your legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee, in accordance with the provisions hereof, will, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims of such Persons hereunder. In addition, the Company may require you or your legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee, as a condition precedent to such payment or issuance, to execute a general release of all claims in favor of the Company, any Affiliate and the employees, officers, stockholders or board members of the foregoing in such form as the Company may determine; provided, however, that any review period under such release will not modify the date of settlement with respect to your Award.
13.    No Guarantee of Interests.  The Board and the Company do not guarantee the Stock of the Company from loss or depreciation.
14.    Company Records.  Records of the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding your period of service, termination of service and the reason(s) therefor, and other matters shall be conclusive for all purposes hereunder, unless determined by the Company to be incorrect.

In the event any breach of this promise comes to the attention of the Company, it shall take into consideration that breach in determining whether to recommend the grant of any future similar award to you, as a factor weighing against the advisability of granting any such future award to you.  Nothing in this Agreement will prevent you from: (a) making a good faith report of possible violations of applicable law to any governmental agency or entity or (b) making disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prevent you from making a disclosure that: (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Further, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer of reporting a suspected violation of law may make disclosures without violating this Section 17 to the attorney of the individual and use such information in the court proceeding.

19.    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, but such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.
20.    Company Action.  Any action required of the Company shall be by resolution of the Board or by a person or entity authorized to act by resolution of the Board.

4

obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Stock hereunder is subject to applicable laws and to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale, or delivery of such Stock.
(b)    Subject to Section 22(c), any dispute, controversy or claim between you and the Company arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be finally settled by arbitration in Denver, Colorado before, and in accordance with the then-existing American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Arbitration Rules.  The arbitration award shall be final and binding on both parties.  Any arbitration conducted under this Section 22(b) shall be heard by a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) selected in accordance with the then-applicable rules of the AAA.  The Arbitrator shall expeditiously hear and decide all matters concerning the dispute.  Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the Arbitrator shall have the power to (i) gather such materials, information, testimony and evidence as he or she deems relevant to the dispute before him or her (and each party will provide such materials, information, testimony and evidence requested by the Arbitrator), and (ii) grant injunctive relief and enforce specific performance.

(d)    By entering into this Agreement and entering into the arbitration provisions of this Section 22, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEY ARE KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVING THEIR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL.
(e)    Nothing in this Section 22 shall prohibit a party to this Agreement from (i) instituting litigation to enforce any arbitration award, or (ii) joining another party to this Agreement in a litigation initiated by a person or entity which is not a party to this Agreement.
(f)    NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN ANY DOCUMENT TO THE CONTRARY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OR REVENUE OR LOSSES BY REASON OF COST OF CAPITAL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY OR

	«PSU»

	Plan:
	The Jagged Peak Energy Inc. 2017 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).

	Overview
	You shall be eligible to earn a number of Performance Units between 0% - 200% of the Target Units based on the Company’s relative TSR (defined below) rank among a group of Peer Companies (described below) over the Performance Period (set forth below).  Except as set forth below under “Special Vesting Events,” you must remain in the continuous employment of the Company or its Affiliates from the Date of Grant through the last day of the Performance Period in order to earn any Performance Units hereunder.

	Performance Period
	March 1, 2017 – December 31, 2019

	Calculation of Earned Units

	At the end of the Performance Period, the Peer Companies and the Company shall be ranked together based on their TSR for the Performance Period with the highest TSR being number 1 and the lowest TSR being the number of Peer Companies.  Based on the Company’s relative TSR rank among the Peer Companies for the Performance Period, you will be entitled to a number of Earned Units determined by the Company’s rank as follows:

•   If the Company is ranked at or above the 90th percentile of the Peer Companies, including the Company, 200% of the Target Units

1

	
		
	 
	•   If the Company is ranked at the 50th percentile or median of the Peer Companies, including the Company, 100% of the Target Units

•   If the Company is ranked at the 30th percentile of the Peer Companies, including the Company, 50% of the Target Units

•   If the Company is ranked below the 30th percentile of the Peer Companies, including the Company, you will not be entitled to any Earned Units.

If the Company is ranked between any of these payout levels, the percentage multiple of the Target Units will be interpolated based on the actual percentile ranking of the Company (rounded to the nearest whole percentile) in relation to the payout levels.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company’s TSR for the Performance Period is negative, then the number of Earned Units shall be capped at 100% of the Target Units, irrespective of the fact that you may have otherwise been entitled to additional Earned Units based on the Company’s relative TSR rank during the Performance Period.  Any fractional Earned Units will be rounded down to the next whole number.

	Total Stockholder Return
	“Total Stockholder Return” or “TSR” for the Company and each of the Peer Companies for the Performance Period is calculated pursuant to the formula (x+y)/z, where (x) is the difference between (i) the volume weighted average closing common stock prices for the month of December 2019 minus (ii) the average volume weighted closing common stock prices for the month of March 2017, (y) represents all dividends paid in respect of the common stock during the Performance Period, and (z) is the average volume weighted closing common stock prices for the month of March 2017.

Calculation of TSR shall be adjusted to take into account any stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, or similar events that may affect the common stock prices of the Company or any of the Peer Companies.

	Peer Companies

	The Peer Companies used for purposes of calculating TSR shall be the following companies:

1.    Callon Petroleum Company
2.    Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc.
3.    Energen Corporation
4.    Jones Energy, Inc.
5.    Laredo Petroleum, Inc.
6.    Matador Resources Company
7.    Oasis Petroleum Inc.
8.    Parsley Energy, Inc.
9.    PDC Energy, Inc.
10.    QEP Resources, Inc.
11.    RSP Permian, Inc.
12.    SM Energy Company
13.    Whiting Petroleum Corporation
14.    WPX Energy, Inc.

	In the event that any of the Peer Companies ceases to be publicly traded during the Performance Period, it shall be dropped from the list of Peer Companies and shall be excluded completely when determining the Company’s relative TSR for the Performance Period.  In the event that any of the Peer Companies files for bankruptcy pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code during the Performance Period, it shall be given a TSR of -100% when determining the Company’s relative TSR for the Performance Period.

	Special Vesting Events
	Death or Disability.  Notwithstanding the relative TSR of the Company, 100% of the Target Units shall immediately become Earned Units upon (a) your death, or (b) the termination of your employment as a result of Disability.

Change in Control.  Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Performance Period shall be deemed to have ended, and the Company shall calculate the number of Earned Units to which you are entitled (if any) based on the methodology set forth above, adjusted to account for the truncated Performance Period.

	Settlement of Vested RSUs

	Shares of Stock will be issued with respect to your Earned Units as set forth in Section 6 of the Agreement (which Stock when issued will be transferable and nonforfeitable).  

	Definitions
	“Disability” means you are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

The Stock you receive upon settlement will be taxable to you in an amount equal to the closing price of the shares on the date of settlement (or, if such date is not a business day, the last day preceding such day).  By accepting the Agreement, either through your signature below or through the Company’s stock plan administration system, you acknowledge and agree that:
		
	•
	you are not relying on any written or oral statement or representation by the Company, its affiliates, or any of their respective employees, directors, officers, attorneys or agents (collectively, the “Company Parties”) regarding the tax effects associated with this Notice of Grant of Performance Stock Units and the Agreement and your receipt, holding and earning of the PSUs,

	•
	you also hereby release, acquit and forever discharge the Company Parties from all actions, causes of actions, suits, debts, obligations, liabilities, claims, damages, losses, costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, on account of, arising out of, or in any way related to the tax effects associated with this Notice of Grant of Performance Stock Unit and the Agreement and your receipt, holding and the earning of the PSUs.  

In the event that you do not accept the Agreement as stated above within thirty (30) days, the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, to cancel and revoke the award represented by the Agreement and any such award shall be forfeited by you without any further consideration.
