ANNUAL PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE AWARDS

Executive officers are also eligible to receive annual bonuses under the
Corporation's Annual Incentive Award Plan. Please read Exhibit 10.31 to the
Corporation's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for a written
description of the plan, including the performance objectives for 2006.

LONG-TERM EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVES

Long-term incentive awards for each executive officer generally consist of stock
options, restricted stock awards and performance stock awards. The purpose of
these awards is to align the interests of executive officers with the
Corporation's shareholders by directly linking a significant portion of each
executive's total compensation to the continued growth of the Corporation and
appreciation of its common stock.

The stock options and restricted stock awards are made under the KCS Energy,
Inc. 2005 Employee and Director Stock Plan (the "2005 Plan"). Please read
Exhibits 10.4 and 10.5 to the Corporation's Form 8-K filed on May 19, 2005 for
the terms and conditions of the 2005 Plan. During the first quarter of 2006, as
part of their 2006 compensation package, Messrs. Christmas, Hahne, Stout, Leary
and Dwyer received a) restricted stock awards of 25,008, 23,221, 8,619, 8,082
and 4,025 respectively; b) stock options exercisable into 34,950, 22,500, 5,580,
5,580 and 2,380 shares of common stock respectively; and c) performance stock
awards of 8,258, 6,441, 4,459, 4,459 and 2,245, respectively. Stock options
generally vest over a three-year period in three equal annual installments on
each anniversary of the grant date and have a ten-year term. All options are
granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the
Corporation's common stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock awards
generally vest three years after

<PAGE>

the date of grant, but in some instances are subject to accelerated vesting if
established performance measures are achieved. Performance stock awards are paid
only if certain stock appreciation performance measures are achieved over the
three-year period ending December 31, 2008. If the performance measures are
achieved, the performance stock awards would then vest and be paid on December
31, 2009. Please read Exhibits 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 to the Corporation's
Report on Form 8-K filed on June 16, 2005 for the general terms and conditions
of the stock option and restricted stock awards and Exhibit 10.1 to Form 8-K
filed on February 26, 2006 for the general terms and conditions of performance
stock awards.<PAGE>

                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.31

                     ANNUAL PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

The following is a description of the KCS Energy, Inc. Annual Performance
Incentive Award Plan (the "Plan") provided pursuant to Item 601 (6)(10)(iii)(A)
of Regulation S-K, which requires a written description of a compensatory plan
when no formal document contains the compensation information.

The Plan is designed to reward executive officers and company employees for the
achievement of annual performance objectives. The annual performance objectives
are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee for their potential
contribution to the creation of stockholder value and may include such measures
as production levels, oil and gas reserve additions, finding and development
costs, reserve replacement, lease operating expenses, debt reduction,
profitability, cash flow and strategic objectives. All performance objectives
are established and recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Operating Officer and approved by the Board of Directors within 90 days of the
start of the calendar year.

Executive officers are assigned threshold, target and maximum incentive award
opportunities based on the executive's position. Annual award levels are
reviewed periodically by Compensation Committee to ensure market competitiveness
and adjustments may be made based on the review. Set forth below are the current
annual incentive target award levels as a percentage of base salary for the
Chief Executive Officer and each of the four other most highly compensated
executive officers for 2006. The threshold award level is 50% of the target
award level and the maximum award level is 200% of the target award level.

James W. Christmas                      65%
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer

William N. Hahne                        60%
President, Chief Operating Officer

Harry Lee Stout                         35%

Sr. VP, Chief Financial Officer

Frederick Dwyer
Vice President,                       27.5%
Controller/Secretary
</TABLE>

Actual payments made under the Plan between threshold and maximum are dependent
on achievement of established performance objectives. The Compensation Committee
and the Board of Directors retain discretion to award bonuses below threshold or
above the maximum award level.

In 2005, the annual performance objectives for the Corporation were based on
production levels, finding and development costs, reserve replacement and
various strategic objectives. For the Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast divisions,
the performance objectives were based on production levels, finding and
development costs, reserve replacement, lease operating expenses and specific
divisional strategic objectives.

In 2006, the annual performance objectives for the Corporation will be based on
production levels, finding and development cost, reserve replacement and various
strategic objectives. For the Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast divisions, the
performance objectives will be based on production levels, finding and
development costs, reserve additions, lease operating expenses and specific
divisional strategic objectives.

<PAGE>

After the end of the calendar year, when final reserve and financial data are
available, the Compensation Committee determines the extent to which the
performance objectives were achieved and approves the amount of the award to be
paid to each executive officer, with its determination with respect to the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer being subject to the approval of the
independent members of the Board of Directors. Payment of bonuses, if any, is
normally made in March after the end of the performance period during which the
bonuses were earned and after the audit is complete. Bonuses normally will be
paid in cash in a single lump sum, subject to payroll taxes and tax withholding.<PAGE>

         of twenty (20) calendar days after the Seller has delivered written

         (d) by Buyer:

                  (i) if (A) the representations and warranties of the Company

         such that the condition set forth in Section 5.2(a) would not be
         satisfied as of the Closing Date, and (B) the inaccuracy has continued
         without cure for a period of twenty (20) calendar days after Buyer has

agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be
valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such
