 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD 
 This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
(the “Agreement”), dated as of                  , 20     (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by Penn Virginia Corporation (the
“Company”) to
                                         (the
“Participant”). 
 RECITALS 
 The 2013 Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the award of Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the Plan) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Plan. The Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has decided to award Restricted Stock Units to the Participant as an inducement for the Participant to promote the best interests of
the Company and its shareholders. All terms capitalized but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. Copies of the Plan and the Plan prospectus are being provided to the Participant with this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 

1. Award of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company
hereby grants the Participant          Restricted Stock Units. 
 2. Stock Unit
Account. Restricted Stock Units represent hypothetical Shares and not actual Shares. The Company shall establish and maintain a Stock Unit Account, as a bookkeeping account on its records, for the Participant and shall record in such Stock Unit
Account (i) the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Participant and (ii) either (A) the number of Shares payable to the Participant on account of Restricted Stock Units that have vested or (B) subject to
Section 5(a)(ii) below, the amount of cash payable to the Participant on account of Restricted Stock Units that have vested. In the event that the Company declares a dividend with respect to its Shares, the Restricted Stock Units shall not be
entitled to receive dividend equivalent rights nor receive any credit within the Stock Unit Account for such dividends paid upon the underlying Shares. No Shares shall be issued to the Participant at the time the grant is made, and the Participant
shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Restricted Stock Units recorded in the Stock Unit Account. The Participant shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the
Company by reason of this award or the Stock Unit Account established for the Participant. 
 3. Vesting and
Non-transferability. 
 (a) Except as provided in subsections 3(b) and (c) below, the Restricted Stock Units shall be
subject to forfeiture until the Restricted Stock Units vest. Except as provided in subsections 3(b) and (c) below, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest according to the following schedule, if the Participant continues to be employed by the
Company from the Date of Grant until the applicable vesting date: 
  

			
	 Vesting Date
	 	 Vested Restricted Stock Units

	[First anniversary of Date of Grant]	 	[1/3 of Restricted Stock Units]
	[Second anniversary of Date of Grant]	 	[1/3 of Restricted Stock Units]
	[Third anniversary of Date of Grant]	 	[1/3 of Restricted Stock Units]

 The vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the Restricted
Stock Units. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional Stock Units, the number of Restricted Stock Units that vests shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Stock Unit. 

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, in the event that (i) the Participant is at the Date of
Grant or becomes Retirement Eligible or (ii) the Participant’s employment is terminated on account of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable on the date on which
the Participant becomes Retirement Eligible (or on the Date of Grant if the Participant is already Retirement Eligible) or the date of the Participant’s death or Disability. 

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, in the event of a Change of Control, the outstanding Restricted
Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable upon the date of the Change of Control. 
 4. Termination of
Restricted Stock Units. If the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than as described in subsection 3(b) above before the Restricted Stock Units vest, any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall
automatically terminate and shall be forfeited as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment. No payment shall be made with respect to any unvested Restricted Stock Units that terminate as described in this Section 4.

 5. Timing and Manner of Payment of Restricted Stock Units. 

(a) When the Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with Section 3 above, the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary
or estate, in the event of the Participant’s death) shall receive (i) that number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that vested or (ii) at the Participant’s request and upon the approval of the Committee, a
lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (x) the Value of a Share on the date on which the Restricted Stock Units vest times (y) the number of such vested Restricted Stock Units subject, in either case, to withholding as described
below. Except as provided in subsections 5(c), (d), (e) and (f ) below, payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date on which such Restricted Stock Units vest. 

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, in the event the Restricted Stock Units accelerate when the
Participant is at the Date of Grant or becomes Retirement Eligible as described in subsection 3(b)(i) above, the Participant shall receive payment with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, except as provided in subsections 5(c), (d), (e) and
(f) below, within thirty (30) days after the date the Restricted Stock Units would otherwise have vested under subsection 3(a) above. Any lump sum cash payment made with respect to such Restricted Stock Units pursuant to
Section 5(a)(ii) above shall be equal to the product of (x) the Value of a Share on the otherwise applicable vesting date set forth in subsection 3(a) above times (y) the number of such vested Restricted Stock Units. 

  
 2 

 (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, in the event the
Restricted Stock Units accelerate on account of the Participant’s death or Disability as described in subsection 3(b)(ii) above, the Participant or the Participant’s estate shall receive payment with respect to such Restricted Stock Units,
except as provided in subsections 5(d), (e) and (f) below, within thirty (30) days after the date of the Participant’s death or Disability. Any lump sum cash payment made with respect to such Restricted Stock Units pursuant to
Section 5(a)(ii) above shall be equal to the product of (i) the Value of a Share on the date of the Participant’s death or Disability times (ii) the number of such vested Restricted Stock Units. 

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, in the event the Restricted Stock Units accelerate upon a Change
of Control as described in subsection 3(c) above, the Participant shall receive payment with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, except as provided in subsection 5(f) below, within thirty (30) days after the Change of Control;
provided, however, that Restricted Stock Units shall be paid within thirty (30) days after such Change of Control (except as provided in subsection 5(f) below) only if the transaction constituting a Change of Control under this
Agreement is also a “change in control event” for purposes of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules (“409A Change in Control Event”). Any lump sum cash payment made with respect to such Restricted Stock Units pursuant to
Section 5(a)(ii) above shall be equal to the product of (i) the Value of a Share on the date of the Change of Control, times (ii) the number of such vested Restricted Stock Units. If, however, the transaction constituting a Change of
Control does not constitute a 409A Change in Control Event, the Participant shall receive payment with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, except as provided in subsection 5(f) below, within thirty (30) days after the earlier of
(x) the date the Restricted Stock Units would otherwise have vested under subsection 3(a) or (y) the date of the Participant’s separation from service following the Change of Control. Any lump sum cash payment made with respect to
such Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii) above shall be equal to the product of (A) the Value of a Share on the date of the Change of Control, times (B) the number of such vested Restricted Stock Units. 

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, if on the date of the Participant’s termination of
employment, the Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules) as determined by the Board (or its delegate) in its sole discretion in accordance with its “specified
employee” determination policy, then all payments payable to the Participant under this Agreement that are deemed as deferred compensation subject to the requirements of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules shall be postponed for a
period of six (6) months following the Participant’s “separation from service” with the Company (or any successor thereto) (the “postponed amounts”). The postponed amounts shall be credited with interest as described in
subsection 7(b) below and paid to the Participant in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s “separation from service” with the Company (or any successor thereto).
If the Participant dies during the postponement period, the postponed amounts shall be paid to the personal representative of the Participant’s estate within sixty (60) days after the Participant’s death. 

  
 3 

 (f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, if, at the time the
Participant’s Restricted Stock Units vest as described in Section 3 above, the amount of (i) any Restricted Stock Units that is otherwise payable hereunder plus (ii) any other compensation to the Participant that is taken into
account for purposes of section 162(m) of the Code for the year (“Other Compensation”) exceeds or is expected to exceed the $1,000,000 limit on deductible compensation under section 162(m) of the Code (the “Limit”), then payment
of any Restricted Stock Units to the extent (or all of the Restricted Stock Units if Other Compensation is already or is expected to be over the Limit) that it plus all Other Compensation is in excess of the Limit shall automatically be deferred
until the date of the Participant’s “separation from service” under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules, subject to the six-month delay described in subsection 5(d) above. 

6. Earnings. If vested Restricted Stock Units are not paid within 30 days after the date such Restricted Stock Units vest, the
Company shall credit the cash value, if any, recorded in the Participant’s Stock Unit Account with earnings through the date the Restricted Stock Units are paid as if such cash balance of the Participant’s Stock Unit Account had been
invested at a rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the applicable vesting date of the Restricted Stock Unit. 
 7. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with
the Plan. The grant is subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Board in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to
(a) rights and obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (b) the registration, qualification or listing of the Shares, (c) changes in capitalization of the Company, (d) compliance with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Rules and (e) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe the grant pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to questions arising hereunder.

 8. No Employment or Other Rights. This grant shall not confer upon the Participant any right to be retained by or in
the employ of the Company and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time. The right of the Company to terminate at will the Participant’s employment at any time for
any reason is specifically reserved. 
 9. Withholding Tax. All obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be
subject to the rights of the Company as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable. The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company
to provide for the payment of, any federal, state, local or other taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to the Restricted Stock Units. 
 10. No Shareholder Rights. Neither the Participant, nor any person entitled to receive payment in the event of the Participant’s death, shall have any of the rights and privileges of a
shareholder with respect to Shares.

 11. Assignment and Transfers. Except as the Committee may otherwise permit pursuant
to the Plan, the rights and interests of the Participant under this Agreement may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Participant, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In
the event of any attempt by the Participant to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Stock Units or any right hereunder, except as provided for in this Agreement, or in the event of the levy or any attachment,
execution or similar process upon the rights or interests hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Restricted Stock Units by notice to the Participant, and the Restricted Stock Units and all rights hereunder shall thereupon become null and
void. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries and affiliates. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company without the
Participant’s consent. 
 12. Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this
instrument shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

Radnor, PA 19087 and any notice to the Participant shall be addressed to such Participant at the current address known by the Company, or to such other address as the Participant may designate to the Company in writing. Any notice shall be delivered
by hand, sent by telecopy or enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as stated above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service. 

14. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Board or by the Committee at any time if the Board or the Committee, as
applicable, determines that the amendment is necessary or advisable in light of any addition to or change in any federal, state, tax or securities law or other regulation which occurs after the Date of Grant of the award, or in any other
circumstances, with the consent of the Participant. 
 15. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules. This Agreement shall
be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules. If any payment cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring sanctions under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules,
then such payment shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions will not be imposed. All payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from
service” under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules. For purposes of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules, each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment, and if a payment is not made by the
designated payment date under the Agreement, the payment shall be made by December 31 of the calendar year in which the designated date occurs. In no event shall the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.

Plan. The Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has decided to award Restricted Stock Units that are also Performance Awards (as defined in the Plan) to the Participant as an

 1. Award of Performance Based Restricted
Stock Units. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Committee hereby
grants to the Participant          Restricted Stock Units (the “Target Restricted Stock Units”). The Target Restricted Stock Units are contingently awarded, and shall vest, and be adjusted and paid,
based on the actual level of attainment of the Performance Goals (as defined in Schedule A hereto). The number of the Target Restricted Stock Units which are ultimately earned (expressed as a percentage of the number of the Target Restricted Stock
Units) based on actual performance are referred to in this Agreement as the “Restricted Stock Units.” 
 (b) The
Committee shall, as soon as practicable following the last day of each Performance Period (as defined in Schedule A hereof), but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the end of the Performance Period, certify (i) the extent,
if any, to which the Performance Goals have been attained with respect to such Performance Period and (ii) the amount of cash, if any, which the Participant shall be entitled to receive with respect to such Performance Period. Such
certification shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Participant, and on all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law. 
 (c) The Committee may at any time prior to the final determination of the extent, if any, to which the Performance Goals have been attained, adjust the Performance Goals to reflect

 
any change in corporate capitalization as described in Section 18 of the Plan (which is titled “Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization”). The Committee may also adjust the
Performance Goals in accordance with the adjustments specifically provided for in Section 14 of the Plan (which is titled “Performance Award Agreement and Terms”). In no event shall the Committee make discretionary modifications that
are not provided for within this Agreement or in the Plan.

dividends paid upon the underlying Shares. No Shares shall be issued to the Participant at any time, and the Participant shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Target Restricted
Stock Units recorded in the Stock Unit Account. The Participant shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this award or the Stock Unit Account established for the Participant.

Participant’s Target Restricted Stock Units shall automatically be forfeited as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment and no cash shall be paid with respect to any Target Restricted Stock Units. 

4. Cash Payable to the Participant. 
 (a) Cash, if any, payable to the Participant with respect to his or her vested Target Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in accordance with Schedules A and B hereto. 

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, if, at the time the Participant’s vested Restricted Stock
Units are payable, (i) the amount of cash then payable with respect to such Restricted Stock Units plus (ii) the amount of any other compensation to the Participant that is taken into account for purposes of section 162(m) of the Code for
the year (“Other Compensation”) exceeds or is expected to exceed the $1,000,000 limit on deductible compensation under section 162(m) of the Code (the “Limit”), then payment of such cash shall automatically be deferred to the
extent (or all of such cash if Other Compensation is already or is expected to be over the Limit) that such cash plus all Other Compensation is in excess of the Limit (the “Deferred Cash”). The Deferred Cash shall be recorded in the
Participant’s Stock

 SCHEDULE A 

 

	1.	Vesting Schedule and Payment of Target Restricted Stock Units. 

 (a) A percentage of the Target Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the last day of the Third Performance Period (as hereinafter defined), and shall be paid based on the relative ranking of the
Company’s TSR (as hereinafter defined) as compared to the TSR of the Peer Companies (as hereinafter defined) with respect to each of the First Performance Period (as hereinafter defined), the Second Performance Period (as hereinafter defined)
and the Third Performance Period (such relative rankings being referred to herein as the “Performance Goals”). 
 For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “TSR” shall mean, as to the Company and each of the Peer Companies, the annualized rate of return shareholders receive through stock price changes and the assumed reinvestment of dividends, if any, paid
over the Performance Period. Dividends per share paid other than in the form of cash shall have a value equal to the amount of such dividends reported by the issuer to its shareholders for purposes of federal income taxation. For purposes of
determining the TSR for the Company and each Peer Company, the change in the price of the Company’s Common Stock and of the common stock of each Peer Company, as the case may be, shall be based upon the average of the closing stock prices of
the Company and such Peer Company over the 20 trading days immediately preceding each of the first day of the First Performance Period (the “Initial Value”) and the last day of the First, Second or Third Performance Period, as applicable
(in each case, the “Final Value”). The Initial Values for the Company and each Peer Company are set forth on Schedule B to this Agreement. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Peer Company” shall mean the peer companies listed on Schedule B to this Agreement; provided, however, that, if at any time during the Performance
Period any Peer Company no longer has a class of common equity securities listed to trade under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, then such Peer Company shall cease to be a Peer Company. 

For purposes of this Agreement, the “First Performance Period” shall commence on
            , [2013] and end on             , [2014], the “Second Performance Period” shall commence on
            , [2013] and end on             , [2015] and the “Third Performance Period” shall commence on
            , [2013] and end on             , [2016]. 
 (b) The amount of cash paid with respect to vested Restricted Stock Units shall be equal to the sum of the following: 

(i) The product of (x) one-third of the number of Target Restricted Stock Units times (y) the Final Value of a
Share at the end of First Performance Period times (z) the applicable percentage attributable to the First Performance Period as set forth on Schedule B; 
 (ii) The product of (x) one-third of the number of Target Restricted Stock Units times (y) the Final Value of a Share at the end of Second Performance Period times (z) the applicable
percentage attributable to the Second Performance Period as set forth on Schedule B; and 
 (iii) The product of
(x) one-third of the number of Target Restricted Stock Units times (y) the Final Value of a Share at the end of Third Performance Period times (z) the applicable percentage attributable to the Third Performance Period as set forth on
Schedule B. 

	2.	Retirement, Death or Disability. 

 (a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if prior to the end of the Third Performance Period the Participant becomes Retirement Eligible and subsequently the Participant’s
employment terminates for any reason other than for Cause, then the Participant shall vest in the number of Restricted Stock Units that the Participant would have vested in based on the actual level of attainment of the Performance Goals determined
at the end of each Performance Period as though the Participant remained employed with the Company through the end of the Third Performance Period. Such Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest and be paid on the Payment Date as described in
Section 4(a) below as though the Participant remained employed by the Company. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, if prior to the end of the Third Performance Period the Participant’s employment terminates on account of death or Disability and the Participant is not Retirement Eligible as of the Participant’s date of death
or termination, as applicable, then a pro-rata portion of the Participant’s Target Restricted Stock Units shall vest and the remainder shall be forfeited. The number of Target Restricted Stock Units that vest shall be equal to (x) the
total number of Target Restricted Stock Units times (y) a fraction the numerator of which is that number of days during the period commencing on the Date of Grant and ending on the date of death or the date on which employment is terminated, as
applicable, and the denominator of which is one thousand ninety-five (1,095). The pro-rated vested Target Restricted Stock Units shall be paid as described in Section 4(a) below. 

 

	3.	Change of Control. 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event a Change of Control occurs prior to the Payment Date, the
outstanding Target Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested upon the date of the Change of Control regardless of the level of attainment of the Performance Goals. The Target Restricted Stock Units shall be paid as described in
Section 4(b) below. 
  

	4.	Payment Schedule. 

 (a) If
the Committee certifies, in accordance with Section 1(b) of this Agreement, that the Performance Goals and other conditions to payment of the Restricted Stock Units have been attained with respect to any or all of the Performance Periods, the
Company shall pay to the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, in the event of the Participant’s death) that amount of cash determined in accordance with Section 1 hereof within thirty (30) days after the date
that the Committee has made such certification (the “Payment Date”), subject to applicable tax withholding and Section 8 of the Agreement. 

  
 A-2

 (b) Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the
Target Restricted Stock Units vest and are paid in accordance with Section 3 above, the Participant shall receive that amount of cash equal to the product of (x) the number of such Target Restricted Stock Units times (y) the Value of
a Share on the effective date of the Change of Control. In the event that the Target Restricted Stock Units vest as described in Section 3 above, payment shall be made to the Participant within thirty (30) days after the consummation of
the Change of Control; provided, however, that such payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after such Change of Control only if the transaction constituting a Change of Control under this Agreement is also a “change in control
event” for purposes of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules (“409A Change in Control Event”). If, however, the transaction constituting a Change of Control does not constitute a 409A Change in Control Event, the Participant
shall receive payment with respect to such vested Target Restricted Stock Units or Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, within thirty (30) days after the first to occur of (i) the date the Target Restricted Stock Units would otherwise
have been paid under Section 1 or 2 above or (ii) the date of the Participant’s separation from service following the Change of Control.
