The face value will be converted into participation in the Program by calculation using Kosmos Energy, Ltd’s stock price on the first of the month following your start date. The Incentive Compensation Award granted to you shall vest in accordance with the program’s standard four year vesting cycle and will be based on a mix of a 50% time-vesting schedule and a 50% performance-vesting schedule.

Please be advised that your employment with Kosmos Energy will be at-will and nothing in this letter shall be deemed to be construed as a contract for a term of employment.

We look forward to receiving a response from you within the next week. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 214-445-9606.
