ARTICLE V
SUCCESSOR TO COMPANY
The Plan shall bind any successor of the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under the Plan if no succession had taken place.
In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by the Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under the Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  The term “Company,” as used in the Plan, shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assignee to the business or assets which by reason hereof becomes bound by the Plan.
ARTICLE VI
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Committee may amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Plan for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements.
ARTICLE VII
PLAN ADMINISTRATION
7.1    Administration.  Subject to the provisions hereof, this Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Committee.  The Committee shall have full and exclusive power and authority to administer this Plan and to take all actions that are specifically contemplated hereby 

4

or are necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration hereof.  The Committee shall also have full and exclusive power to interpret this Plan and to make factual and legal determinations and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out this Plan as it may deem necessary or proper.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend or modify an Award in any manner.  The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable to further the Plan purposes.  Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of this Plan shall lie within its sole discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned.  No person shall be entitled to a payment with respect to an Award under this Plan unless the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that such person is entitled to payment.
7.2    Arbitration.  In the event that a Participant wishes to pursue claim for benefits under this Plan, the Participant must participate in arbitration in Houston, Texas, before a single arbitrator in accordance with the arbitration rules and procedures of the Center for Public Resources Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes (the “Arbitration Process”); provided, however, that the arbitration will not be binding on the claimant and the claimant may seek legal or equitable remedies in court after the arbitrator has made a determination as to the claimant’s claim, if the claimant does not accept the arbitrator’s determination.  The Arbitration Process shall be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Process.  The arbitrator shall decide all issues relating to arbitrability and the arbitrator shall also decide all issues with respect to the payment of the costs of such arbitration, including attorneys’ fees and the arbitrator’s fees.
7.3    Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies.  Completion of the arbitration process described in Section 7.2 of this Plan, will be a condition precedent to the commencement of any legal or equitable action in connection with a claim for benefits under the Plan by a claimant; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive compliance with such arbitration process as a condition precedent to any such action.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1    Employment Status.  This Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Participant or the Company any obligation for the Participant to remain an Executive or change the status of the Participant’s employment or the policies of the Company regarding termination of employment.
8.2    Unfunded Plan Status.  All payments pursuant to the Plan shall be made from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established or other segregation of assets made to assure payment.  No Participant or other person shall have under any circumstances any interest in any particular property or assets of the Company as a result of participating in the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) create one or more grantor trusts, the assets of which are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, to assist it in accumulating funds to pay its obligations under the Plan.

5

8.3    Taxes.  The Company may withhold and deduct from any benefits and payments made or to be made pursuant to the Plan all federal, state, local and other taxes as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

The Company makes no representation, warranty or indemnity regarding the tax consequences of the compensation and benefits provided under this Plan for purposes of Section 409A.  If any taxes or penalties under Section 409A are imposed on a Participant as a result of any compensation received pursuant to this Plan, such Participant will be solely responsible for such taxes or penalties, and the Company will not be liable for such taxes or penalties.
8.5    Validity and Severability.

[Name
and Address]
Re:     Incentive Payment
Dear [First Name]:
On behalf of Linn Energy, LLC (together with Linn Operating, Inc., the “Company”), I am pleased to inform you that, pursuant to Section 4.5 of the Company Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has elected to accelerate the Quarterly Payment Date to March 11, 2016, with respect to your Target Incentive Award (as defined in the Plan) (the “Accelerated Payment Amount”) for the quarter ending March 31, 2016 (“First Quarter 2016”), if you agree to the terms and conditions contained in this letter agreement (the “Incentive Acceleration Agreement ”).
1.    Incentive Payment.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, you will receive a payment (the “Incentive Payment”) in the amount of $[●], which equals 25% of your Target Incentive Award (as defined in the Plan) and constitutes the Accelerated Payment Amount, to be paid by the Company on March 11, 2016, subject to receipt of your countersignature on this Incentive Acceleration Agreement .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event your employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as such term is defined in the Plan) or by you without Good Reason (as such term is defined in any applicable employment agreement between you and the Company, or if no such employment agreement exists, as such term is defined in Appendix A) before March 31, 2016, you will be required to repay to the Company, within ten (10) days of such termination, the Accelerated Payment Amount (net of taxes withheld from the Incentive Payment) that was paid to you.  You further agree that your acceptance of the Incentive Payment terminates the Company’s payment obligations under the Plan with respect to any amounts payable for First Quarter 2016, and you release the Company from all obligations to make any additional payments for First Quarter 2016.  For the avoidance of doubt, all other terms of the Plan, not specifically modified herein, will remain in full force and effect.
2.    Release.  Payment of the Incentive Payment shall be conditioned upon your execution and non-revocation of the Waiver and Release of Claims Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A.
3.    Withholding Taxes.  The Company may withhold from any and all amounts payable to you hereunder such federal, state and local taxes as the Company determines in its sole discretion may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
4.    No Right to Continued Employment.  Nothing in this Incentive Acceleration Agreement  will confer upon you any right to continued employment with the Company (or its subsidiaries or their respective successors) or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or its subsidiaries or their respective successors) to terminate your employment at any time.
5.    Other Benefits.  The Incentive Payment is a special incentive payment to you and will not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation for purposes of determining any bonus, incentive, pension, retirement, death or other benefit under any other bonus, incentive, pension, retirement, insurance or other employee benefit plan of the Company, unless such plan or agreement expressly provides otherwise.
6.    No Assignments; Successors.  This Incentive Acceleration Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto.  Except as provided in this paragraph, no party may assign or delegate any right or 

1

obligation hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto.  The Company may assign this Incentive Acceleration Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company; provided that the Company will require such successor to expressly assume and agree to perform this Incentive Acceleration Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
7.    Effectiveness.  This Incentive Acceleration Agreement shall be effective March 11, 2016.
8.    Governing Law.  This Incentive Acceleration Agreement will be governed by, and construed under and in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Texas, without reference to rules relating to conflicts of laws.
9.    Counterparts.  This Incentive Acceleration Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
10.    Entire Agreement; Amendment.  This Incentive Acceleration Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the Incentive Payment and supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between you and the Company with respect to the Incentive Payment, the Award Certificates and the Plan, whether written or oral.  This Incentive Acceleration Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by you and the Company.
11.    Section 409A Compliance.  Although the Company does not guarantee the tax treatment of the Incentive Payment, the intent of the parties is that the Incentive Payment be exempt from the requirements  of  Section 409A  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  and  the  regulations  and  guidance promulgated thereunder, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Incentive Acceleration Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.
This Incentive Acceleration Agreement is intended to be a binding obligation on you and the Company.  If this Incentive Acceleration Agreement accurately reflects your understanding as to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Payment, please sign and date one copy of this Incentive Acceleration Agreement no later than March 11, 2016 and return the same to me for the Company’s records.  You should make a copy of the executed Incentive Acceleration Agreement for your records.

APPENDIX A
For purposes of the Incentive Acceleration Agreement, in the absence of an employment agreement or such term being defined in an employment agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following to which you will not consent in writing:
(a)    a reduction in your base salary;
(b)    any material reduction in your title, authority or responsibilities; or
(c)    a relocation of your primary place of employment to a location more than 50 miles from the Company’s location.
In order to terminate employment for Good Reason, you will give the Company written notice, which will identify with reasonable specificity the grounds for your resignation and provide the Company with 30 days from the day such notice is given to cure the alleged grounds for resignation contained in the notice.  A termination will not be for Good Reason if the Company has cured the alleged grounds for resignation contained in the notice within 30 days after receipt of such notice, or if you give such notice to the Company more than 30 days after the occurrence of the event that you allege is Good Reason for your termination hereunder.  In order for a termination to be for “Good Reason,” the Company must fail to remedy the alleged grounds for resignation within the cure period, and you must actually terminate employment with the Company and its Affiliates within 90 days after the expiration of the cure period.
