RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT FOR
CHESAPEAKE ENERGY CORPORATION
LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) entered into as of the grant date set forth on the attached Notice of Grant of Award and Award Agreement (the “Notice”), by and between Chesapeake Energy Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”), and the participant named on the Notice (the “Participant”);
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Participant is an Employee, and it is important to the Company that the Participant be encouraged to remain an Employee; and
WHEREAS, the Company has previously adopted the Chesapeake Energy Corporation 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) effective as of June 13, 2014; and
WHEREAS, the Company has awarded the Participant shares of Common Stock under the Plan, as set forth on the Notice, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, the Participant and the Company agree as follows:
1.The Plan.  The Plan, a copy of which has been made available to the Participant, is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof for all purposes, and when taken with this Agreement shall govern the rights of the Participant and the Company with respect to the Award (as defined below).  Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the same meanings given to them in the Plan.
2.Grant of Award.  The Company hereby awards to the Participant the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the Notice, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan (the “Award”).
3.Terms of Award.
(a)Escrow of Shares.  A certificate, or book-entry equivalent representing the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award (the “Restricted Stock”) shall be issued in the name of the Participant and shall be escrowed with the Secretary of the Company (the “Escrow Agent”) subject to removal of the restrictions placed thereon or forfeiture pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b)Vesting.  The shares of Restricted Stock will vest based on the Participant’s continuous employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the Notice.  Once vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Restricted Stock shall be deemed “Vested Stock.”

(c)Voting Rights and Dividends.  Subject to the restrictions on transfer and forfeiture set forth in this Agreement, the Participant will have customary rights of a shareholder attributable to the shares of Restricted Stock issued in an Award pursuant to this Agreement, including the rights to vote and to receive dividends on the shares.  Participant appoints the Company to be Participant’s agent to receive for Participant dividends on shares based on record dates that occur while the shares are subject to restriction under this Agreement. The Company will transmit such dividends, net of required taxes pursuant to Section 5, to or for the account of Participant in such manner as the Company determines; provided that the Participant is an Employee as of the dividend payment date.
(d)Vested Stock - Removal of Restrictions.  Upon Restricted Stock becoming Vested Stock, all restrictions shall be removed from the Stock and the Secretary of the Company shall deliver to the Participant shares either in certificate form or via D.W.A.C. (delivery/withdrawal at custodian) representing such Vested Stock free and clear of all restrictions, except for any applicable securities laws restrictions or restrictions pursuant to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.
(e)Forfeiture.  Restricted Stock that does not become Vested Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be absolutely forfeited and the Participant shall have no future interest therein of any kind whatsoever.  In the event the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliated Entity terminates prior to all shares of Restricted Stock becoming Vested Stock, then such unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall be absolutely forfeited on the date of termination and the Participant shall have no further interest therein of any kind whatsoever.  
(f)Acceleration of Vesting on Death, Disability, Retirement or Involuntary Termination. This Award shall become fully vested upon Participant’s date of termination if the Participant’s termination occurs by reason of Participant’s death.  The Committee may also, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting of the Restricted Stock in the event of the Participant’s Disability or termination of service due to retirement or involuntary termination (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion).
4.Nontransferability of Award.  Restricted Stock is not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of, or the levy of execution, attachment or similar process upon, Restricted Stock contrary to the provisions hereof shall be void and ineffective, shall give no right to any purported transferee, any may, at the sole discretion of the Committee, result in forfeiture of the Restricted Stock involved in such attempt.
5.Withholding.  The Company may make such provision as it may deem appropriate for the withholding of any applicable federal, state or local taxes that it determines it may be obligated to withhold or pay in connection with the vesting of the Restricted Stock or any election made by the Participant.  Required withholding taxes as determined by the Company associated with this Award must be paid in cash unless the Committee requires the Participant to pay such withholding taxes by directing the Company to withhold from the Award the number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of vesting equal to the amount of required withholding taxes.  The Company in its sole

	
			
	 
	2
	 

discretion may also withhold any required taxes from dividends paid on the Restricted Stock.
6.Notification of 83(b) Election.  In the event the Participant elects to make an 83(b) election with respect to this Award, the Participant must provide the Company notice of such election at the same time the election is filed with the Internal Revenue Service.  The Participant must also tender to the Company payment of the required withholding taxes associated with such election.  In the event the Participant makes an 83(b) election without consulting with the Company as to the payment of required withholding taxes, the Company may withhold from other payments to the Participant amounts necessary to effect the required withholding.
7.Amendments.  This Award Agreement may be amended by a written agreement signed by the Company and the Participant; provided that the Committee may modify the terms of this Award Agreement without the consent of the Participant in any manner that is not adverse to the Participant.
8.Securities Law Restrictions.  This Award shall be vested and common stock issued only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and any other applicable securities law, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.  If deemed necessary by the Company to comply with the Act or any applicable laws or regulations relating to the sale of securities, the Participant at the time of vesting and as a condition imposed by the Company, shall represent, warrant and agree that the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award are being acquired for investment and not with any present intention to resell the same and without a view to distribution, and the Participant shall, upon the request of the Company, execute and deliver to the Company an agreement to such a fact.  The Participant acknowledges that any stock certificate representing Common Stock acquired under such circumstances will be issued with a restricted securities legend.
9.Protection of Business.
(a)    Non-Solicitation.  Participant covenants that during the term of his/her employment and for an eighteen (18) month period immediately following the termination of his/her employment for whatever reason, Participant will neither directly nor indirectly induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company to terminate his or her employment to go to work for any other entity or third party.  Participant further agrees that during his/her employment hereunder, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Participant shall not directly solicit or contact any established client or customer of the Company with a view to inducing or encouraging such established client or customer to discontinue or curtail any business relationship with the Company.  Participant further agrees that he/she will not directly request or advise any established clients, customers or suppliers of the Company to withdraw, curtail or cancel their business with the Company.
(b)    Non-Disclosure of Confidential and Proprietary Information.

10.Participant Misconduct.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee shall have the authority to determine that in the event of serious misconduct by the Participant (including violations of this Agreement, employment agreements, confidentiality or other proprietary matters) or any activity of a Participant in competition with the business of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity, the Award may be cancelled, in whole or in part, whether or not vested.

Exhibit 10.4

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT FOR
CHESAPEAKE ENERGY CORPORATION
LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

THIS NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the "Option Agreement"), made as of the grant date set forth on the Notice of Grant of Stock Options and Option Agreement attached to this Option Agreement (the "Notice") at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by and between the participant named on the Notice (the "Participant") and Chesapeake Energy Corporation (the "Company"):
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Participant is an Employee, and it is important to the Company that the Participant be encouraged to remain an Employee; and
WHEREAS, in recognition of such facts, the Company desires to provide to the Participant an opportunity to purchase shares of the common stock of the Company, as hereinafter provided, pursuant to the Chesapeake Energy Corporation 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan effective as of June 13, 2014, as amended from time to time (the "Plan").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the Participant and the Company hereby agree as follows:
1.Grant of Stock Option. The Company hereby grants to the Participant a nonqualified stock option (the "Stock Option") to purchase all or any part of the number of shares of its common stock, par value $.01 (the "Stock"), as set forth on the Notice, under and subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof for all purposes and a copy of which has been made available to the Participant. The purchase price for each share to be purchased hereunder shall be the option price set forth on the Notice (the "Option Price"). Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Option Agreement have the same meanings given to them in the Plan.
2.Times of Exercise of Stock Option. After, and only after, the conditions of Section 11 hereof have been satisfied, the Participant shall be eligible to exercise the Stock Option pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth on the Notice (the "Vesting Schedule"). If the Participant is employed continuously as an Employee at all times prior to any of the vesting dates specified on the Notice (the "Vesting Dates"), then the Participant shall be entitled, subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement having been satisfied, to exercise the Stock Option and purchase on or after the applicable Vesting Date, on a cumulative basis, the number of shares of Stock as set forth on the Notice.

3.Term of Stock Option. Subject to earlier termination as hereafter provided, the Stock Option shall expire at the close of business on the expiration date set forth on the Notice and may not be exercised after such expiration date; provided, however, in no event shall the term of the Stock Option be longer than ten years from the Date of Grant. 
4.Nontransferability of Stock Option. The Stock Option is not transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and the Stock Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. More particularly (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing), the Stock Option may not be transferred (except as provided above), assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way, shall not be assignable by operation of law and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of, or the levy of execution, attachment or similar process upon, the Stock Option contrary to the provisions hereof shall be null and void and without effect, shall give no right to any purported transferee and may, in the Committee's sole discretion, result in the forfeiture of the Stock Option.
5.Employment. So long as the Participant shall be employed continuously as an Employee, the Stock Option shall not be affected in any manner that is adverse to the Participant by any change of duties or position. Nothing in the Plan or in this Option Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in such employment, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate Participant’s employment at any time.  Unless vesting is accelerated or continued pursuant to the terms of Section 6, unvested Stock Options will be cancelled upon the Participant’s termination of employment.
6.Acceleration on Death, Disability, Retirement or Involuntary Termination. This Award shall become fully vested and exercisable upon Participant’s date of termination if the Participant’s termination occurs by reason of Participant’s death.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate or provide for continued vesting of Stock Options for which the applicable Vesting Date(s) has not yet occurred upon Participant’s termination of employment if such termination occurs by reason of (i) Disability, (ii) retirement or (iii) involuntary termination (as defined  by the Committee).
7.Period for Exercise Upon Termination of Employment.  With respect to shares subject to the Stock Option for which the applicable Vesting Date(s) has occurred or for which the Committee has accelerated vesting or provided for continued vesting in accordance with Section 6, the Participant, or the representative of a deceased Participant, shall have the right to purchase such shares within twelve months of such date of termination of employment (or the date of vesting in the event the Committee allows for continued vesting following termination of employment in accordance with Section 6).

8.Method of Exercising Stock Option.
(a)    Procedures for Exercise. The manner of exercising the Stock Option shall be by written or electronic notice to the Secretary of the Company at the time the Stock Option, or part thereof, is to be exercised, and in any event prior to the expiration of the Stock Option. Such notice shall state the election to exercise the Stock Option, the number of shares of Stock to be purchased upon exercise, the form of payment to be used, and if submitted in written form shall be signed by the person so exercising the Stock Option. 
(b)    Form of Payment of Option Price. Payment of the Option Price for shares of Stock purchased under this Option Agreement shall accompany the Participant's notice of exercise, together with payment for any applicable withholding taxes. Payment of the Option Price shall be made (i) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the Company; (ii) by tendering, by either actual delivery of shares or by attestation, shares of Stock acceptable to the Committee having a Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise equal to the amount of the Option Price; (iii) by instructing the Company to withhold a number of shares from such exercise having a Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise equal to the amount of the Option Price; (iv) a combination of the approaches contained in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii); or (v) by irrevocably authorizing a broker-dealer to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Option Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.
(c)    Further Information. In the event the Stock Option is exercised, pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, by any person other than the Participant due to the death of the Participant, such notice shall also be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the Stock Option. The notice so required shall be given by personal delivery to the Secretary of the Company or by registered or certified mail, addressed to the Company, Attn: Secretary, at 6100 North Western Avenue, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73118, and it shall be deemed to have been given when it is so personally delivered or when it is deposited in the United States mail in an envelope addressed to the Company, as aforesaid, properly stamped for delivery as a registered or certified letter.

10.Participant Misconduct; Compensation Recovery. 
(a)     Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee shall have the authority to determine that in the event of serious misconduct by the Participant (including violations of this Agreement, employment agreements, confidentiality or other proprietary matters) or any activity of a Participant in competition with the business of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity, the Stock Options may be cancelled, in whole or in part, whether or not vested.
