[Date]

Dear [Name]:

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the EQT Corporation 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”), the Management Development and Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors (“Board”) of EQT Corporation (the “Company”) has granted you Non-Qualified Stock Options (the “Options”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock as outlined below.

Options Granted: [Insert]

Grant Date: [Insert]

Exercise Price per Share: [Insert closing stock price on date prior to Grant Date]

Expiration Date: [Insert 10-Year Anniversary of Grant Date]

Vesting Schedule: 100% on [Insert 3-Year Anniversary of Grant Date]

Notwithstanding Section 9 of the Plan, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), the following shall be the applicable vesting provisions:

(i) if (a) your grant of Options is 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 (b) the Company is the surviving entity of the Change of Control, and (1) your employment is terminated without Cause (as defined below), including termination resulting from death or Disability (as defined in the Plan), or (2) you resign for Good Reason (as defined below), in each case prior to the second anniversary of the effective date of the Change of Control, all unvested Options will vest immediately upon such termination or resignation; and

(ii) if (a) your grant of Options is not 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) and (b) the Company is not the surviving entity of the Change of Control, all unvested Options will vest immediately upon such Change of Control.

Upon termination of your employment for Cause, all unvested Options and any unexercised vested Options shall be forfeited immediately.  Upon termination of your employment for any other reason, whether voluntarily (including retirement) or involuntarily, prior to January 1, 2018, all unvested Options shall be forfeited immediately, except: (i) as provided above in connection with a Change of Control; (ii) as provided below in connection with your service on the board of directors of the Company or EQT Midstream Services, LLC; (iii) as provided in accordance with any written employment-related agreement that you have with the Company (including any

1

confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition, change of control or similar agreement); or (iv) if your termination is involuntary (including termination resulting from death or Disability) and without Cause, the unvested Options will vest as follows:

Termination Date	Percent Vested
Prior to January 1, 2016	0%
On or after January 1, 2016 and prior to January 1, 2017	25%
On or after January 1, 2017 and prior to January 1, 2018	50%

Upon a voluntary or involuntary termination of your employment for any reason other than Cause, any unexercised vested Options held on the date of termination shall remain exercisable for the remaining original term of the Options (except in the event of your death or Disability, in which case the post termination exercise period will be one year after termination of employment). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Participant Award Agreement, if your employment is terminated voluntarily (including retirement) or your employment is terminated involuntarily without Cause and you remain on the board of directors of the Company or EQT Midstream Services, LLC following such termination of employment, then notwithstanding any prior agreement to the contrary (including an agreement to enter into a form of an executive alternative work arrangement), your Options shall not be forfeited but shall continue to vest in accordance with the above provisions for as long as you remain on such board of directors, in which case any references herein to your employment shall be deemed to include your continued service on such board.

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

Solely for purposes of this Participant Award Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean your resignation within 90 days after (but in all cases prior to the second anniversary of a Change of Control): (i) a reduction in your base salary of 10% or more (unless the reduction is applicable to all similarly situated employees); (ii) a reduction in your annual short-term bonus target of 10% or more (unless the reduction is applicable to all similarly situated employees); (iii) a significant diminution in your job responsibilities, duties or authority; (iv) a change in the geographic location of your 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 Participant Award Agreement.

A termination by you shall not constitute termination for Good Reason unless you first deliver to the General Counsel of the Company written notice: (i) stating that you intend to resign for Good Reason pursuant to this Participant Award 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

2

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 you. Failure by the Company to act or respond to the written notice shall not be deemed to be an admission that Good Reason exists.

You may pay your exercise price and/or satisfy your tax withholding obligations with respect to the Options by (i) delivering cash, or (ii) directing the Company to withhold shares that would otherwise be issued upon exercise of the award (or surrendering back to the Company shares previously owned by you) having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) equal to the amount needed to pay your exercise price and/or satisfy the minimum required statutory tax withholding obligations.

The terms contained in the Plan are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Participant Award Agreement, and this Participant Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan. In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between (i) the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Participant Award Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative, or (ii) the provisions of this Participant Award Agreement and the terms of any written employment-related agreement that you have with the Company, the terms of such employment-related agreement shall be controlling and determinative.  The Options, including any shares acquired by you upon exercise of the Options and any cash or other benefit acquired upon the sale of stock acquired through exercise of the Options, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any compensation recoupment policy adopted from time to time by the Board or any committee of the Board, to the extent such policy is applicable to the Options. Any dispute regarding the payment of benefits under this Participant Award Agreement or the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the EQT Corporation Long-Term Incentive Dispute Resolution Procedures as in effect at the time of such dispute.
