Increase in Underwriters’ Commitments Subject to Sections 6 and 7 hereof, if any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to take up and pay for the Firm Shares to be purchased by it hereunder (otherwise than for a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6 hereof or a reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement under the provisions of Section 7 hereof) and if the number of Firm Shares which all Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for does not exceed 10% of the total number of Firm Shares, the non-defaulting Underwriters (including the Underwriters, if any, substituted in the manner set forth below) shall take up and pay for (in addition to the aggregate number of Firm Shares they are obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 1 hereof) the number of Firm Shares agreed to be purchased by all such defaulting Underwriters, as hereinafter provided. Such Shares shall be taken up and paid for by such non-defaulting Underwriters in such amount or amounts as you may designate with the consent of each Underwriter so designated or, in the event no such designation is made, such Shares shall be taken up and paid for by all non-defaulting Underwriters pro rata in proportion to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of such non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule A. Without relieving any defaulting Underwriter from its obligations hereunder, the Company agrees with the non-defaulting Underwriters that it will not sell any Firm Shares hereunder unless all of the Firm Shares are purchased by the Underwriters (or by substituted Underwriters selected by you with the approval of the Company or selected by the Company with your approval). If a new Underwriter or Underwriters are substituted by the Underwriters or by the Company for a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Company or you shall have the right to postpone the time of purchase for a period not exceeding five business days in order that any necessary changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and other documents may be effected. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include any Underwriter substituted under this Section 8 with like effect as if such substituted Underwriter had originally been named in Schedule A hereto. If the aggregate number of Firm Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase exceeds 10% of the total number of Firm Shares which all Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, and if neither the non-defaulting Underwriters nor the Company shall make arrangements within the five business day period stated above for the purchase of all the Firm Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate without further act or deed and without any liability on the part of the Company to any Underwriter and without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter to the Company. Nothing in this paragraph, and no action taken hereunder, shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
Financing Commitments (a) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and shall use its reasonable best efforts to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) satisfy (or obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Buyer to obtain the Debt Financing, including, as promptly as practicable following the Agreement Date and receipt from Parent or its Affiliates, as applicable, delivering to the Lead Arranger (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter), the documents and information required under the Debt Commitment Letter to commence the marketing period under the Debt Commitment Letter, (iii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including any “flex” provisions) or on other terms that, in the Buyer’s sole discretion, (A) would otherwise be permitted by Section 5.11(b) and (B) would not reasonably be expected to materially delay or adversely affect, in any material respect, the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing and (v) enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter. Buyer shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter or any ancillary letters referred to therein without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such amendment, modification or waiver (A) adds any new conditions to the consummation of all or any portion of the Debt Financing or amends, replaces, supplements or modifies any existing conditions to the consummation of all or any portion of the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent, or impede or materially delay the Debt Financing, (B) reduces (or has the effect of reducing) the amount of the Debt Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount in respect of the Debt Financing (except as set forth in any flex provisions existing on the date hereof)) to an amount that, together with other available cash or other funds of Buyer and its Subsidiaries, would on the Closing Date be less than the amount required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (C) could otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay availability of the Debt Financing or (D) materially adversely affects the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter or any Alternative Financing. In the event that the Debt Commitment Letter is amended, replaced, supplemented or Alternative Financing is obtained, Buyer shall comply with its covenants in this Section 5.11(a) and Section 5.11(b) with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter as so amended, replaced, supplemented or with respect to the Alternative Financing, if applicable, to the same extent that Buyer would have been obligated to comply with respect to the Debt Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement the Debt Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, agents or similar entities who have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof on terms substantially similar to those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter.

It is understood and agreed that the aggregate commitments under this Backstop Commitment Letter in respect of New Money DIP Loans (and the automatic conversion thereof to Exit Term Loans on the Conversion Date) are $150 million in total, subject to the Initial Allocation, as set forth in Section 2 hereof and each Backstop Commitment Party hereby agrees and commits to such automatic conversion of the New Money DIP Loans to Exit Term Loans on the Conversion Date.

Atlas America and Resource Energy, jointly and severally, commit to provide such funding, upon the MLP's written request therefor, by purchasing Common Units at a price equal to the arithmetic average of the closing prices of the Common Units on the American Stock Exchange, or, if the American Stock Exchange is not the principal trading market for such security, on the principal trading market for such security, for the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the purchase, or, if the fair market value of the Common Units cannot be calculated for such period on any of the foregoing bases, the average fair market value during such period as reasonably determined in good faith by the members of the managing board of the General Partner.

Investment Commitment The undersigned's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigned's net worth, and an investment in the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
