Exhibit 2 to Term Sheet

Term Sheet Regarding Employee Matters

Revised Incentives for Management through Bankruptcy Pursuant to New Agreements ³

The Company will enter into new 5-month employment agreements effective as of the RSA effective date (the “Short-Term Agreements”) with each of John A. Brooks and Nancy M. Snyder. The Company will enter into a new employment agreement (together with the Short-Term Agreements, the “Agreements”) with Steven A. Hartman. The term of Mr. Hartman’s Agreement will begin on the RSA effective date and end on the date that is 18 months thereafter, unless terminated by either Mr. Hartman or the board of directors of the reorganized entity (the “New Board”) in accordance with its terms.

The Agreements will supersede the Change of Control Severance Agreements, ⁴ Relocation Agreement and all other prior agreements between the Executive and the Company in their entirety and be assumed as of the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy (the “Emergence”) pursuant to the plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). The finalized Agreements will be subject to review and comments by the Ad Hoc Committee and will contain other market terms, including customary restrictive covenants.

Terms of Proposal :

Base Salary : As of the RSA effective date, Mr. Hartman’s base salary will be reduced to $250,000 per annum. Mr. Brooks and Ms. Snyder will continue receiving their current annualized base salaries of $385,000 and $335,000, respectively. The Company will provide Mr. Hartman with market relocation assistance with respect to his move to the Houston metropolitan area.

Emergence Bonus : Mr. Brooks and Ms. Snyder will each be paid an emergence bonus equal to $500,000, if Emergence occurs on or by 10/31/16 (a “Qualifying Emergence”) and either (i) he or she remains employed with the Company through the Qualifying Emergence or (ii) he or she was terminated by the Company without “cause” before the Qualifying Emergence.

Severance : If Mr. Hartman is terminated without “cause” or for “good reason” before the six month anniversary of Emergence, he will be entitled to 18 months of continued base salary (subject to the execution of general release). If Mr. Hartman is terminated without cause after the six month anniversary of the date of Emergence, he will be entitled to 12 months of continued base salary.

MIP : The MIP pool will consist of up to [•]% ⁵ of the reorganized Company’s stock determined on a fully-diluted basis. The New Board will determine the allocation and other terms and conditions of MIP participation; provided that Mr. Hartman will receive an award of restricted stock (or economic equivalent) with a grant date value equal to $600,000 based on the Company value provided for in the Plan (the “Initial Equity Award”), so long as he is employed at the time of Emergence. The Initial Equity Award will vest over 3 years and be subject to such other terms and conditions as determined by the New Board; provided that in the event Mr. Hartman is terminated without “cause” or for “good reason”, the next tranche of the Initial Equity Award will vest.

1

Release : The Agreements will provide for a mutual general release of claims (including release of Executives’ prepetition claims and any claims in respect of the SERP).

Consulting Agreement : Upon Emergence, the reorganized Company will enter into a non-exclusive consulting agreement with Nancy M. Snyder (the “Consulting Agreement”) in lieu of extending her Short-Term Agreement. The Consulting Agreement will provide for a term of twelve months and payment of a monthly fee of $15,000 to Ms. Snyder for her services, so long as her employment has not been terminated for “cause” (gross negligence, willful misconduct or conviction of a felony), or due to death, disability or her voluntary resignation. During the term of the Consulting Agreement, Ms. Snyder will report to the Chief Executive Officer, or his or her designee, and will provide consulting services as reasonably requested by the Company.

Treatment of Prepetition Obligations : All outstanding PBRSUs and RSUs will be cancelled without payment of any consideration pursuant to release.

Severance and Revised Incentives for Rank & File Employees During Chapter 11

The Company will establish a Key Employee Retention Plan (“KERP”) with annual payments not to exceed $2.0 million in the aggregate.

Upon a Company termination other than for “cause” on or prior to the 6 month anniversary of the confirmation date of the Plan, a KERP participant will receive as his or her severance the greater of (a) up to 13 weeks of base salary (taking into account seniority based on the Company’s historical practices) and (b) the balance of any unpaid KERP payments. The severance payment contemplated by the foregoing clause (a) will be consistent with the total amounts previously provided to the Ad Hoc Committee in the 4.30.16 Comp Summary.

As a condition to participation in the KERP or to otherwise receiving severance, participants in the KERP or individuals who otherwise receive severance will be required to waive all prepetition claims he or she may have relating to prior employment or compensation arrangements, including, without limitation, any applicable Change of Control Severance Agreement, Relocation Agreement, or other severance agreement. All outstanding long-term incentives will receive the treatment set forth in the Plan.

Baird Whitehead may have, or now has, against any of the PVA Entities in his former capacity as an employee of the PVA Entities (including as Chief Executive Officer of Penn Virginia) and in his current capacity as a director of Penn Virginia, and in exchange for inclusion in the debtor release, third-party release, exculpation, and indemnification provisions contained in the Plan as they relate to Mr. Whitehead in his former capacity as an employee of the PVA Entities (including as Chief Executive Officer of Penn Virginia) and in his current capacity as a director of Penn Virginia, Mr. Whitehead shall receive, on the Effective Date, a total recovery comprised of: (a) $110,000, paid in cash; and (b) at Mr. Whitehead’s election, (i) $110,000, paid in cash, or (ii) an allowed general unsecured claim in an amount that would result in Mr. Whitehead receiving a recovery under the Plan on such

2

claim that would be valued (at plan valuation) at $110,000; provided , however , that the foregoing release by Mr. Whitehead shall not extend to (1) any claims to indemnification or insurance coverage to which Mr. Whitehead may be entitled under the PVA Entities’ certificates of incorporation, bylaws, indemnification agreements, directors and officers insurance policies or applicable law with respect to the period of Mr. Whitehead’s employment by the PVA Entities (including as Chief Executive Officer of Penn Virginia), and (2) any claims or rights that Mr. Whitehead cannot waive by law ( e.g. , any right to workers’ compensation).
