AMENDED AND RESTATED

EQUITRANS
MIDSTREAM CORPORATION

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

 

Section
1. Incentive Plan Purposes. The main purposes of the Amended and Restated Equitrans Midstream Corporation (the
 “Company”) Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) are to maintain a competitive level of total cash compensation
by providing the Company’s employees with an opportunity to earn incentives based upon the achievement of performance goals
over a specified performance period and to align the interests of the Company’s employees with those of the Company’s
shareholders and customers and with the strategic objectives of the Company.

 

Section
2. Effective Date; Performance Periods. The Plan was originally effective January 1, 2019 and has subsequently
been amended and restated effective January 1, 2020. The Plan will remain in effect until formally amended or terminated in writing
by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) or the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the
Board (“Committee”) and as provided in Section 14 or the occurrence of a Change of Control as provided in Section 11.
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and subject to Section 11, each performance period under the Plan (each, a “Performance
Period”) shall begin on January 1 and end on December 31 of each calendar year.

 

Section
3. Eligibility. All employees of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the Plan (each, a “Participant”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may exclude specific employees from participation in the Plan in its complete and
sole discretion.

 

Section
4. Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee or its delegate. On an annual
or periodic basis, as determined by the Committee, for each Performance Period, (i) the Committee shall determine the Performance
Metrics, as defined in Section 5, and (ii) (A) the Committee shall set target incentive percentages (the “Target Incentive
Percentages”) for the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”), all direct reports to the CEO, and all
executive officers of the Company (collectively, the “Designated Participants”), and (B) the CEO shall determine the
Target Incentive Percentages for all other Participants. The Committee shall review the aggregate payout amounts attributable to
the Target Incentive Percentages for all Participants for each Performance Period.

 

Prior to payment of
any Award Bonus (as defined in Section 6(b)) for any Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing the Performance
Metrics achieved and related payout factor earned for such Performance Period, which writing may include meeting minutes of the
Committee.

 

     

     

    

 

Section
5. Program Metrics.

 

		(a)	Each Performance Period shall have specific metrics (the “Performance Metrics”). These
Performance Metrics will support the business of the Company, or an affiliate of the Company, as applicable, and be based upon
the specific performance measures established for the Performance Period.

 

		(b)	The Performance Metrics for each Performance Period shall be determined in writing by the Committee;
provided that in no event will Performance Metrics be established when the outcome of such Performance Metrics is no longer substantially
uncertain.

 

		(c)	The Performance Metrics determined by the Committee will be objectively determinable goals based
upon one or more performance measures determined at the discretion of the Committee, including, by way of example but without limitation,
the following:

 

		·	earnings per share or unit

		·	revenue

		·	expenses

		·	return on equity

		·	return on total or invested capital

		·	return on assets

		·	earnings (such as net income, EBIT and similar measures)

		·	cash flow and per share cash flow (such as EBITDA, after-tax cash flow, distributable cash flow,
free cash flow, retained cash flow and similar measures)

		·	share or unit price

		·	debt reduction or leverage

		·	gross margin

		·	operating income

		·	volumes metrics (such as volumes transported or processed and similar measures)

		·	operating efficiency metrics (such as general and administrative (G&A) metrics, unit gathering,
compression and water services expenses and other midstream efficiency measures, lost and unaccounted for gas metrics, compressor
or processing downtime and similar measures)

		·	construction efficiency metrics (such as timely completion, cost within budget and similar measures)

		·	customer service measures (such as wait time, on-time service, calls answered and similar measures)

		·	closing of a transaction

		·	safety and environmental performance

		·	total shareholder or unitholder return

 

     2

     

    

 

		(d)	The Performance Metrics may be based either on the performance of the Company, or an affiliate,
branch, department or other portion thereof, for the applicable Performance Period and/or upon a comparison of such performance
with the performance of a peer group of corporations and partnerships, prior Company performance or other comparative measure selected
by the Committee before, at, or, subject to subsection (b) above, after the time of determining each Target Bonus (as defined in
Section 6(a)) for the applicable Performance Period. Performance Metrics may be specified in absolute terms, on an adjusted basis,
in percentages, or in terms of growth or reduction from period to period or growth or reduction rates over time, as well as measured
relative to the performance of a group of comparator companies, or a published or special index, or a stock market index, that
the Committee deems appropriate. Performance Metrics need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a business criterion
and could include, for example, the maintenance of the status quo, the reduction of expenses or the limitation of economic losses
(measured, in each case, by reference to a specific business criterion). Performance Metrics may, but need not, be determinable
in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

		(e)	When the Performance Metrics are determined by the Committee, the weighting assigned to, and the
levels of achievement (e.g., Threshold, Target, Maximum) for, if any, each Performance Metric shall be specified. In addition,
the Committee may specify that any determination of achievement of the Performance Metrics shall exclude or otherwise objectively
adjust for any specified circumstance or event that occurs during the Performance Period, including, by way of example but without
limitation, the following: (i) non-recurring, non-operational gains, losses and impairments (other than amounts attributable to
the write-down, abandonment or disposition of assets never placed in service); (ii) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting
principles or other laws or provisions; and (iii) acquisitions or divestitures.

 

Section
6. Target and Award Bonuses.

 

		(a)	Subject to Section 10(a), a Participant’s target bonus is calculated by multiplying the Participant’s
Target Incentive Percentage by (i) for exempt Participants, such Participant’s annualized base salary as of the first day
of the applicable Performance Period, and (ii) for non-exempt Participants, such Participant’s total actual earnings during
the applicable Performance Period (in each case, as applicable, “Target Bonus”).

 

		(b)	A Participant’s award bonus (“Award Bonus”) is determined following the end of
the applicable Performance Period. Award Bonuses for each Performance Period are calculated by multiplying (i) the Participant’s
Target Bonus by (ii) the payout factor attributable to the actual level of achievement for each Performance Metric.

 

     3

     

    

 

		(c)	The Committee shall have no discretion to increase any Award Bonus that would otherwise be payable
based upon attainment of the Performance Metrics, but the Committee may in its discretion reduce or eliminate such Award Bonus
(including in the event of the fatality of, or a serious injury to, a Company employee or contractor); provided, however, that
the exercise of such negative discretion shall not be permitted to result in any increase in the amount of any Award Bonus payable
to any other Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the discretion to designate an aggregate payment
amount (a “Discretionary Pool”) that may be paid to any or all of the Participants in such amounts and to such Participants
as determined by the CEO in his or her sole discretion; provided that, the Committee must approve any payment from the Discretionary
Pool that is to be paid to a Designated Participant. In the event any payments are made from a Discretionary Pool, the timing of
such payments shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(e) or, if applicable, Section 9(d). For purposes of clarity,
any payment to a Participant from the Discretionary Pool shall be in excess of the payment amount such Participant is entitled
to based upon attainment of the Performance Goals under his or her award.

 

		(d)	The maximum aggregate Award Bonus payable to any Participant for any calendar year is $5,000,000.

 

		(e)	Except as provided in Section 7 of the Plan, Award Bonuses shall be paid in cash no later than
21⁄2 months after the end of a Performance Period in which the right to payment is no longer subject to a substantial risk
of forfeiture; provided, further, that the Committee has determined and certified in writing the extent to which the Performance
Metrics have been attained and the Award Bonuses have been earned.

 

Section
7. Form of Payment. The Committee may, in its discretion, determine to satisfy, in whole or in part, an obligation
for any Award Bonus by issuing, in substitution for a cash payment, in whole or in part, shares of Company common stock having
a fair market value (measured as of the date of the Committee’s determination of the payment amount) equal to the cash payment,
under and pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or any successor or substitute plan.

 

Section
8. Impact on Benefit Plans. Payments under the Plan shall not be considered as earnings for purposes of the Company’s
qualified retirement plans or any such retirement or benefit plan unless specifically provided for and defined under such plans
or as otherwise determined by the Committee.

 

     4

     

    

 

Section
9. Tax Consequences.

 

		(a)	It is intended that nothing in this Plan shall cause the Participants in the Plan to be taxed currently
under the Constructive Receipt or Economic Benefit Doctrines and as expressed in Sections 451 and 83 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The terms, requirements and limitations of this Plan shall be interpreted and applied
in a manner consistent with such intent.

 

		(b)	It is intended that the Award Bonuses payable under the Plan shall either be exempt from the application
of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan shall be construed in a manner that effects such intent.
Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Plan or any Award Bonus is not warranted or guaranteed. None
of the Company, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes,
interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by any Participant or other taxpayer as a result of the Plan or any Award Bonus.

 

		(c)	Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent that any Award Bonus would
constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and would be payable or distributable
under the Plan by reason of the occurrence of a Change of Control, or the Participant’s disability or separation from service,
such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to the Participant by reason of such circumstance unless the circumstances
giving rise to such Change of Control, disability or separation from service meet any description or definition of “change
in control event”, “disability” or “separation from service”, as the case may be, in Section 409A
of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition).
This provision does not prohibit the vesting of any Award Bonus upon a change of control, disability or separation from service,
however defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any Award Bonus, such payment shall be made on the date
that would have applied absent such designated event or circumstance.

 

		(d)	Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent that any Award Bonus would
constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and would otherwise be payable
under this Plan by reason of a Participant’s separation from service during a period in which the Participant is a Specified
Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Committee under Treas. Reg. Section
1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes):
(i) the amount of such non-exempt deferred compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately
following the Participant’s separation from service will be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first day of
the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service (or, if the Participant dies during such period, within
30 days after the Participant’s death) (in either case, the “Required Delay Period”); and (ii) the normal payment
or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume at the end of the Required Delay Period. For purposes
of this Plan, the term “Specified Employee” has the meaning given such term in Code Section 409A and the final regulations
thereunder, provided, however, that, as permitted in such final regulations, the Company’s Specified Employees and
its application of the six-month delay rule of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) shall be determined in accordance with rules adopted
by the Board or any committee of the Board, which shall be applied consistently with respect to all nonqualified deferred compensation
arrangements of the Company, including this Plan.

 

     5

     

    

 

Section
10. Change of Status. In making decisions regarding employees’ participation in the Plan, the Committee
may consider any factors that they may consider relevant. The following guidelines are provided as general guidelines regarding
employee status changes:

 

		(a)	New Hire, Transfer, Promotion. New employees hired on or prior to September 30 during any
Performance Period are eligible to participate in the Plan and earn a pro rata Award Bonus for such Performance Period. Target
Incentive Percentages for newly hired Designated Participants are determined by the Committee. Target Incentive Percentages for
all other newly hired Participants are determined by the CEO. Target Incentive Percentages for employees who are promoted or transferred
during a Performance Period may be adjusted on a pro rata basis to reflect the percentage that would be associated with the new
position. Target Incentive Percentages for employees who experience a change in employment status during a Performance Period (e.g.,
due to a leave of absence, a change to part-time status, or other similar circumstances) may be adjusted on a pro-rata basis to
reflect such change in employment status.

 

		(b)	Termination. No amount shall be paid to an employee who resigns for any reason before such
employee’s Award Bonus is paid; provided, however, a pro rata Award Bonus may be paid based on actual performance as of the
end of the Performance Period in the event of the employee’s termination of employment as a result of his or her death, disability,
or retirement; provided the employee otherwise qualifies for payment of an Award Bonus. In the event that an Award Bonus is paid
on behalf of an employee who has terminated employment by reason of death, any such payments or other amounts due shall be paid
to the employee’s estate in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(e) or, if applicable, Section 9(d), but subject to
the Committee’s overall discretion as provided in Section 6(c). In the event an Award Bonus is paid on behalf of an employee
who has terminated by reason of disability or retirement, any amount earned shall be paid to Participants on such pro-rata basis
in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(e) or, if applicable, Section 9(d), but subject to the Committee’s overall
discretion as provided in Section 6(c).

 

For
purposes of this Section 10(b), “retirement” means a Participant’s voluntary termination of employment with the
Company and its subsidiaries after he or she has (i) a length of service of at least ten (10) years and (ii) a combined age and
length of service equal to at least sixty (60) years. A Participant’s length of service will be determined by the Company,
in its sole discretion, based on the Company’s internal payroll records.”. For purposes of this Section 10(b),
service with EQT Corporation prior to November 13, 2018 shall be treated the same as service with the Company and its subsidiaries.
The termination of a Participant’s employment by the Company shall not qualify as retirement.

 

     6

     

    

 

For purposes
of this Section 10(b), “disability” shall have the same meaning as under the Company’s 2018 Long-Term Incentive
Plan, or its successor plan.

 

Nothing in the Plan shall confer any right
on any employee to continue in the employ of the Company or its affiliates. In the event any payments are made under the guidelines
provided in this Section 10, the timing of such payments shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(e) or, if applicable,
Section 9(d).

 

Section
11. Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control of the Company, as then defined under the Company’s
2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or its successor plan, the Performance Period shall end on the date of the Change of Control, and
the Performance Metrics shall be deemed to have been achieved at actual levels for the

pro-rata portion of the Performance Period that elapsed through the date of the Change of Control. In such event, any Award Bonus
earned shall be paid to Participants on such pro-rata basis in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(e) or, if applicable,
Section 9(d), but subject to the Committee’s overall discretion as provided in Section 6(c).

 

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of the Company’s
2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of February 26, 2020, by and among the Company, EQM LP Corporation, LS Merger Sub, LLC, EQM Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”),
and EQGP Services, LLC and (ii) the Preferred Restructuring Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2020, by and among the Company,
the Partnership, and the investors set forth on Schedule I thereto, will not constitute a Change of Control.

 

Section
12. Compensation Recoupment Policy. Any Award Bonuses paid to Participants shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Company’s Compensation Recoupment Policy, as may be amended, modified, supplemented from time to time and
any successor or replacement policy thereto. In addition, the Committee may specify in an incentive award agreement that the Participant’s
rights, payments and benefits with respect to an incentive award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment
upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an
incentive award.

 

     7

     

    

 

Section
13. Dispute Resolution. The following is the exclusive procedure to be followed by all Participants in resolving
disputes arising from payments made under this Plan. All disputes relative to a given Performance Period must be presented to the
Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer (who will forward the dispute to the Committee) within thirty (30) days following
the payment date of the Award Bonus for that Performance Period, or the Participant’s right to dispute a payment will be
irrevocably waived. The Participant with the concern must include a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail, the basis
for the dispute, including, but not limited to, specific reference to the pertinent Plan and/or incentive award agreement provisions
on which the dispute is based. A decision will be rendered by the Committee within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Committee’s
receipt of the dispute. The Chairperson of the Committee will be responsible for preparing a written version of the decision. The
decision by the Committee regarding the matter is final and binding on all Participants.

 

Section
14. Amendment or Termination of this Plan. The Board and the Committee shall each have the right to amend or
terminate the Plan at any time. No Participant shall have any vested right, interest or entitlement to any Award Bonus hereunder
prior to its payment. The Company shall notify affected Participants in writing of any material amendment that, in the Company’s
discretion, may adversely affect the Participant or any Plan termination.

 

Section
15. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations
relating to the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (without regard to the conflicts of laws
thereof), and applicable federal law.

 

Section
16. Withholding. The Company or any of its affiliates shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold,
or require a Participant to remit to the Company or such affiliate an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local taxes
(including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld.

 

Section
17. Severability. If any provision of the Plan is or becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed
or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws. If such provision cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination
of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan, it shall be deleted and the remainder of the Plan shall remain in
full force and effect; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the provision shall not be construed
or deemed amended or deleted with respect to any Participant whose rights and obligations under the Plan are not subject to the
law of such jurisdiction or the law deemed applicable by the Committee.

TERMS
AND CONDITIONS

 

1.       Defined
Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
In addition, and notwithstanding any contrary definition in the Plan, for purposes of this Agreement:

 

		(a)	“Cause” means: (i) Grantee’s conviction of a felony, a crime of moral turpitude
or fraud or Grantee’s having committed fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement in connection with the performance of Grantee’s
duties; (ii) Grantee’s willful and repeated failures to substantially perform assigned duties; or (iii) Grantee’s violation
of any provision of a written employment-related agreement between Grantee and the Company or express significant policies of the
Company. If the Company terminates Grantee’s employment for Cause, the Company shall give Grantee written notice setting
forth the reason for Grantee’s termination not later than 30 days after such termination.

 

		(b)	“Good Reason” means Grantee’s resignation within 90 days after: (i) a reduction
in Grantee’s base salary of 10% or more (unless the reduction is applicable to all similarly situated employees); (ii) a
reduction in such Grantee’s annual short-term bonus target by the greater of (A) 10% and (B) 5 percentage points of such

diminution in Grantee’s job responsibilities, duties or authority; (iv) a change in the geographic location of Grantee’s
primary reporting location of more than 50 miles; and/or (v) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by
the Company of this Agreement.

 

A termination by Grantee shall
not constitute termination for Good Reason unless Grantee first delivers to the General Counsel of the Company written notice:
(i) stating that Grantee intends to resign for Good Reason pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) setting forth with specificity
the occurrence deemed to give rise to a right to terminate for Good Reason (which notice must be given no later than 90 days after
the initial occurrence of such event). The Company shall have a reasonable period of time (not less than 30 days) to take action
to correct, rescind or substantially reverse the occurrence supporting termination for Good Reason as identified by Grantee. Failure
by the Company to act or respond to the written notice shall not be deemed to be an admission that Good Reason exists.

 

     

     

    

 

		(c)	“Pro Rata Amount” is defined in Section 4 of this Agreement.

 

		(d)	“Qualifying Change of Control” means a Change of Control (as then defined in the Plan)
unless (i) Grantee’s Restricted Shares are assumed by the surviving entity of the Change of Control (or otherwise equitably
converted or substituted in connection with the Change of Control in a manner approved by the Committee) or (ii) the Company is
the surviving entity of the Change of Control.

 

Notwithstanding Section 9.02
of the Plan, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 26,
2020, by and among the Company, EQM LP Corporation, LS Merger Sub, LLC, EQM Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”),
and EQGP Services, LLC and (ii) the Preferred Restructuring Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2020, by and among the Company,
the Partnership, and the investors set forth on Schedule I thereto, will not constitute a Change of Control.

 

		(e)	“Retirement”
means Grantee’s voluntary termination of employment with the Company and its Affiliates after
Grantee has (i) a length of service of at least ten (10) years and (ii) a combined age and length of service equal to at least
sixty (60) years. Grantee’s length of service will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, based on the Company’s
internal payroll records. For purposes of this Section 1(e), service with EQT Corporation prior to November 13, 2018 shall be treated
the same as service with the Company and its Affiliates. The termination of Grantee’s employment by the Company shall not
qualify as Retirement.

Shares are subject to the restrictions imposed under Section 2.
	 	 	 

		(g)	“Restricted Shares” means the number of restricted shares awarded to Grantee on the

imposed under this Section 2 shall apply to all shares of the Company’s Common Stock or other securities issued with respect
to Restricted Shares hereunder in connection with any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend or
other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock of the Company.

 

    2

     

    

 

3.       Vesting
of Restricted Shares. Except as may be otherwise provided below, including in Section 4, or under any written employment-related
agreement with Grantee (including any confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition, change of control or similar agreement,
as required by the Company), if any, 100% of the Restricted Shares will vest and become non-forfeitable (and the restrictions imposed
on the Restricted Shares under Section 2 will expire) on the third anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, provided Grantee
has continued in the employment of the Company and/or its Affiliates through such date. Any date on which the Restricted Shares
vest shall be considered a “Vesting Date.”

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, if Grantee’s employment is terminated and such termination is voluntary, including a Retirement, and Grantee
remains on the board of directors of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company whose equity is publicly traded on the New York
Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market following such termination of employment, Grantee shall be treated as employed for purposes
of this Agreement as long as Grantee remains on such board of directors, in which case any references herein to Grantee’s
employment shall be deemed to include his or her continued service on such board.

 

4.       Acceleration
/ Forfeiture in the Event of a Change in Status.

 

		(a)	Notwithstanding Section 9 of the Plan, in the event that following a Change of Control that is
not a Qualifying Change of Control, (i) Grantee’s employment is terminated without Cause or (ii) Grantee resigns for Good
Reason, in each case prior to the second anniversary of the effective date of the Change of Control, the Restricted Shares will
vest, each provided Grantee has continued in the employment of the Company and/or its Affiliates through such date.

 

As a condition
to the vesting of any Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 4(a) above, Grantee will be required to execute and not revoke a full
release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company within 30 days of the termination or resignation, as applicable. Failure
to satisfy this condition will result in forfeiture of such Restricted Shares.

 

		(b)	Except as provided in Section 4(a) above, if Grantee’s termination is due to Grantee’s
death or Disability, 100% of the Restricted Shares will vest, provided Grantee has continued in the employment of the Company and/or
its Affiliates through such date.

 

As a condition
to the vesting of any Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 4(b) above, Grantee (or Grantee’s estate or beneficiary) will
be required to execute and not revoke a full release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company within 30 days of the termination.
Failure to satisfy this condition will result in forfeiture of such Restricted Shares.

 

		(c)	Except as provided in Section 4(a) above, if Grantee’s termination is due to Grantee’s
Retirement, a pro rata portion of the Restricted Shares will vest (the number of Restricted Shares then vesting is defined as the
 “Pro Rata Amount”), provided Grantee has continued in the employment of the Company and/or its Affiliates through such
date. The Pro Rata Amount shall equal the total number of Restricted Shares granted pursuant to this Agreement multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of continuous employment with the Company and/or an Affiliate from the
Vesting Commencement Date through the date of Grantee’s Retirement and the denominator of which is 36. When determining the
Pro Rata Amount, Grantee shall be considered to have been employed with the Company and/or an Affiliate for a full calendar month
so long as Grantee is employed by such entity for at least one day during such calendar month.

 

As a condition
to the vesting of any Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 4(c) above, Grantee will be required to execute and not revoke a full
release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company within 30 days of the termination. Failure to satisfy this condition will
result in forfeiture of such Restricted Shares.

 

    3

     

    

 

		(d)	Except as may be otherwise provided under any written employment-related agreement with Grantee,
if any, in the event Grantee’s employment terminates for any other reason at any time prior to the applicable Vesting Date,
all of Grantee’s Restricted Shares will immediately be forfeited without further consideration or any act or action by Grantee.
For purposes of clarity, in the event Grantee’s employment is terminated other than for performance reasons, the Committee
may determine that all or a portion of the Restricted Shares shall vest upon Grantee’s termination.

 

5.       Delivery
of Shares. The Restricted Shares will be registered in the name of Grantee as of the Grant Date and may be held by the Company
during the Restricted Period in certificated or uncertificated form. If a certificate for Restricted Shares is issued during the
Restricted Period, such certificate shall be registered in the name of Grantee and shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws): “This certificate and the shares of stock
represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture and restrictions against transfer) contained in
a Restricted Stock Award Agreement between the registered owner of the shares represented hereby and Equitrans Midstream Corporation.
Release from such terms and conditions shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Award Agreement, copies of
which are on file in the offices of Equitrans Midstream Corporation.” To the extent the Company’s shares are certificated,
stock certificates for the shares, without the first above legend, shall be delivered to Grantee or Grantee’s designee upon
request of Grantee after the expiration of the Restricted Period, but delivery may be postponed for such period as may be required
for the Company with reasonable diligence to comply, if deemed advisable by the Company, with registration requirements under the
Securities Act of 1933, listing requirements under the rules of any stock exchange, and requirements under any other law or regulation
applicable to the issuance or transfer of the Restricted Shares.

 

6.       Dividends.
If the record date for regular dividends or special dividends with respect to the Company’s Common Stock (whether made in
cash or stock, unless made in accordance with any shareholder rights plan or similar arrangement) occurs during the period commencing
on the Vesting Commencement Date through and including the Vesting Date, the cumulative amount of all regular and special dividends
paid during such period on the Grantee’s Restricted Shares shall be held and the Grantee shall accrue a right to receive
a cash payment in respect of such dividends. Any cash payment owed to Grantee pursuant to this Section 6 shall be subject to the
same time-vesting conditions and transfer restrictions as apply to the Restricted Shares with respect to which it relates.

 

7.       Voting
Rights. Grantee shall be entitled to vote the Restricted Shares.

 

8.       Payment
of Taxes. The Company or any Affiliate employing Grantee has the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require
Grantee to remit to the employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including Grantee’s FICA
obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this award. With respect to
withholding required upon any taxable event arising as a result of this award, the employer shall satisfy the tax withholding required
by withholding shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be
determined equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional
on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and, where applicable, its Affiliates will, to the extent permitted by law, have
the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Grantee.

 

9.       Plan
Controls. This Agreement and Grantee’s rights hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and such
rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan. It is expressly understood that the Committee
is authorized to interpret and administer the Plan and this Agreement, and to make all decisions and determinations as it may deem
to be necessary or advisable for the administration thereof, all of which shall be final and binding upon Grantee and the Company.
In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions
of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative. Any conflict between this Agreement and the terms of a written employment-related
agreement with Grantee effective on or prior to the Grant Date shall be decided in favor of the provisions of such employment-related
agreement.

10.       Recoupment
Policy. The award of Restricted Shares and any amounts paid to Grantee hereunder, and any cash or other benefit acquired on
the sale of shares of Common Stock distributed hereunder, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Equitrans Midstream
Corporation Compensation Recoupment Policy, effective June 17, 2019, as may be amended or restated from time to time, to the extent
such policy is applicable to Grantee and the Restricted Shares. A copy of such policy is available upon request from the Company's
Corporate Secretary.

 

11.       Relationship
to Other Benefits. The Restricted Shares shall not affect the calculation of benefits under the Company’s or its Affiliates’
qualified retirement plans or any other retirement, compensation or benefit plan or program of the Company or its Affiliates, except
to the extent specifically provided in such other plan or program. Nothing herein shall prevent the Company or its Affiliates from
maintaining additional compensation plans and arrangements.

 

12.       Amendment.
Subject to the terms of the Plan, this Agreement may be modified or amended by the Committee; provided that no such amendment shall
materially and adversely affect the rights of Grantee hereunder without the consent of Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Grantee hereby expressly agrees to any amendment to the Plan and this Agreement to the extent necessary to comply with applicable
law or changes to applicable law (including, but not limited to, Code Section 409A) and related regulations or other guidance and
federal securities laws.

 

13.       Successor.
All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement, with respect to the Restricted Shares, shall be binding on any
successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation,
or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

 

14.       Applicable
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to
its conflict of law provisions.

 

15.       Notice.
Except as may be otherwise provided by the Plan or determined by the Committee and communicated to Grantee, notices and communications
hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given if either hand-delivered or if sent by fax or overnight courier,
or by postage paid first class mail. Notices sent by mail shall be deemed received five business days after mailed, but in no event
later than the date of actual receipt. Notices shall be directed, if to Grantee, at Grantee’s address indicated by the Company’s
records or, if to the Company, at the Company’s principal executive office, Attention: Manager, Compensation and Benefits.

 

16.       Dispute
Resolution. Any dispute regarding the payment of benefits under this Agreement or the Plan shall be resolved in accordance
with any dispute resolution procedures of the Company, to the extent such procedures are applicable to the Plan and this award.
A copy of any such procedures will be available upon request or made available on the Fidelity NetBenefits website, which can
be found at www.netbenefits.fidelity.com.

 

17.       Tax
Consequences to Grantee. It is intended that: (i) until the applicable Vesting Date occurs, Grantee’s right to payment
for an award under this Agreement shall be considered to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture in accordance with those
terms as defined or referenced in Sections 83(a), 409A and 3121(v)(2) of the Code; and (ii) until the award vests on the applicable
Vesting Date, Grantee shall have merely an unfunded, unsecured promise to receive such award.
