THIS GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between LAUREL MOUNTAIN MIDSTREAM, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LMM”), and ATLAS ENERGY RESOURCES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, ATLAS ENERGY OPERATING COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, ATLAS AMERICA, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, ATLAS NOBLE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, RESOURCE ENERGY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and VIKING RESOURCES, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (each individually a “Shipper” or collectively, the “Shippers”), and only as to Section 8, below, ATLAS PIPELINE PARTNERS, L.P. and ATLAS PIPELINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, LP (hereinafter “APL” and “APL Operating,” respectively).

RECITALS

A. Shippers each own or control a supply of Gas that they desire LMM to Gather for Shippers’ account.

B. LMM owns a natural gas gathering system and related facilities as further defined in Exhibit “A” hereto, which, together with any expansions of same pursuant to this Agreement, shall be generally referred to as the “Legacy Appalachian Gathering System,” or “Gathering System,” and is willing to Gather such Gas for Shippers’ account on the Legacy Appalachian Gathering System pursuant to the terms set forth herein.

C. LMM and Shippers will simultaneously with this Agreement be entering into a gathering agreement for the gathering of natural gas on a higher pressure system to be developed by LMM within the Area of Interest (the “Expansion Gathering Agreement”), which together with this Agreement constitutes the Parties’ entire agreement regarding gathering services in the Area of Interest.

D. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined in the body hereof shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Exhibit “A” hereto and made a part hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. COMMITMENTS

1.1 Shippers’ Dedication.

(a) Each Shipper, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates, and each Investment Program, dedicates to LMM for Gathering all of such Shipper’s, Shipper’s Affiliates’, and such Investment Programs’ present and future right, title, and interest in Gas, including without limitation Gas produced from such Shipper’s Existing Well Interests, Existing Third Party Well Interests and Investment Program Well Interests, from the Area of Interest described in Exhibit “B” (collectively “Shippers’ Gas”), provided that the following interests in Gas shall be excluded from dedication hereunder:

(i) any Minority Interest in Subsequently Acquired Gas (as defined below) from any production or acreage in which Shipper neither controls nor operates the production. For purposes of this Section 1.1, a “Minority Interest” shall be any production or acreage in which any other party or parties, in the aggregate, not an Affiliate of Shipper owns a greater interest, by percentage, than Shippers;

(ii) any interest in Subsequently Acquired Gas which, prior to acquisition by Shipper, is dedicated to or is flowing through another gathering system which is owned by an entity from whom Shipper acquired such interest in Gas (a “Producer System”), provided that such Gas will be dedicated to LMM in the event LMM purchases the Producer System in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4(c), below, or Section 2.5, as applicable;

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM) PAGE  4

(iii) any interest in Subsequently Acquired Gas which prior to acquisition is dedicated to a third party gatherer, provided that such Gas will be dedicated to LMM in the event LMM exercises its option in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4(c) or Section 2.5, as applicable, below; and

(iv) those existing interests (including future interests set forth in the areas of mutual interest described in the area of mutual interest agreements identified on Exhibit “F,” provided, however, that Shipper shall not agree to expand any such area of mutual interest from and after the Effective Date (as defined in Section 5, below)), that are subject to any of the agreements or produced from any of the xxxxx listed in Exhibit “F”.

It is understood and agreed between the parties that all interests in Gas as described above, unless expressly excluded in this Section 1.1, are dedicated to LMM by this Agreement, and by the Expansion Gathering Agreement. LMM, at its discretion, shall determine whether the Gas will be considered dedicated to this Agreement or to the Expansion Gathering Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any Shipper’s Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate, such entity shall no longer be considered a “Shipper’s Affiliate” hereunder.

(b) Each Shipper, for itself and for its Affiliates, represents and warrants. that it has the authority to make such dedication as to its Gas, and agrees that LMM may file memoranda of this agreement in local land records substantially in the form shown in Exhibit “G”. Each Shipper covenants that it will not request or solicit any potential seller of any interest in Gas to create any dedication of the Gas prior to Shipper’s acquisition. Shippers further warrant that the contracts listed on Exhibit “F” (other than the leases listed as being subject to the joint venture or farmout agreements listed on Exhibit “F”, in each case only to the extent the lessee under each such lease is not a Shipper or an Affiliate of a Shipper) have not been amended or otherwise modified in any way between April 1, 2009 and the Effective Date.

(c) Each Shipper, for itself and for its Affiliates, covenants that no subsequent transfer of any interest in its Gas shall be made without being made subject to this dedication obligation herewith. Each Shipper shall provide LMM prompt notice of any such transfer and shall obtain and provide to LMM transferee’s acknowledgement of the dedication. LMM may file memoranda of this Agreement in local land records substantially in the form shown in Exhibit “G” as of the Effective Date and as of the date of development and production of Gas.

(d) Subject to the prior written consent of LMM, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, each Shipper may remove acreage from the dedication obligation described in Section 1.1(a) above in connection with an acreage swap with a third party or third parties (“Removed Acreage”) provided (i) all of the acreage received by that Shipper in exchange for the Removed Acreage (the “Replacement Acreage”) is dedicated hereunder; (ii) all of the Replacement Acreage is within the Area of Interest; (iii) the area of such Replacement Acreage is, or the estimated reserves or resources included under the Replacement Acreage are equivalent or superior to the Removed Acreage, and (iv) the Replacement Acreage is located such that it will improve gathering efficiency. LMM agrees to file of record amendments to such memorandum, or execute filings of record at any Shipper’s reasonable request, to reflect such acreage swaps consented to by LMM.

(e) Shippers and LMM acknowledge and agree that neither LMM nor Shipper shall have any obligation whatsoever hereunder with respect to Gas or acreage not subject to the foregoing dedication.

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM) PAGE  5

1.2 LMM’s Gathering Service. LMM shall Gather on a Guaranteed Capacity basis that quantity of Shipper’s Gas, subject to the provisions set forth in Exhibit “E”, which is necessary to fulfill Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s) and Shipper’s commitment to provide Gathering Fuel, subject only to Force Majeure and Maintenance; Shipper shall be entitled to submit volume projections to LMM on a Monthly basis. Unless and until LMM shall have installed measurement equipment (such as EFM) reasonably necessary or appropriate to track imbalances associated with such third-party Gas, LMM shall provide Shipper with *** Days’ prior written notice before agreeing to accept any third party Gas for Gathering in the Legacy Appalachian Gathering System. LMM shall have the right to commingle Shipper’s Gas with other natural gas in the Gathering System, provided, however, that LMM shall provide to Shipper first priority service up to the MDQ, and the other natural gas in the Gathering System shall not impair LMM’s obligations to Shippers hereunder, including specifically the obligations to maintain Gathering System pressures pursuant to Section 1.6.

1.3 Full Capacity Area. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for a period of *** years after the Effective Date, LMM hereby reserves for the sole benefit of the Shippers one hundred percent (100%) of the capacity of the Gathering System (as currently existing and in the future expanded) in the following townships located in ***, Pennsylvania: ***.

1.4 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

1.5 Gathering Fuel. Shipper shall provide to LMM Shipper’s share of Gathering Fuel. LMM shall calculate Shipper’s Gathering Fuel based upon actual usage and Shipper’s pro-rata share of all Gas Gathered through the relevant portion of the Gathering System. Shipper’s Gathering Fuel will be calculated Monthly by LMM by allocating such quantities of actual Gathering System fuel requirements and lost or unaccounted for Gas among all shippers using the relevant portion of the Gathering System. LMM may retain and use Shipper’s Gathering Fuel as fuel for compression and other operations on the Gathering System.

In the event LMM utilizes electric power in lieu of gas fuel for operation of any of the LMM Facilities, Shipper’s Fuel for such facility shall then be each Shipper’s pro rata share of eighty-four percent (84%) of such power required, and shall be billed in addition to other fuel requirements or fees hereunder.

1.6 Gathering System Pressures.

(a) LMM shall maintain a Target Suction Pressure as set forth in Exhibit “E” for each Delivery Point on the Gathering System. The “Actual Suction Pressure” shall be the average Daily suction pressure measured at a static pressure tap immediately upstream of the last compressor before the Delivery Point. The Actual Suction Pressure shall be calculated by summing the actual average Daily suction pressure for each included Day in the Month for which pressures were taken, and dividing the resulting sum by the number of Days in that Month for which pressures were taken, and rounding the quotient to the nearest whole number. In the calculation of Actual Suction Pressure, LMM may exclude any Day when any of the following conditions occur (“Excluded Days”): (i) Force Majeure, (ii) Maintenance, or (iii) when Shipper’s Gas exceeds Shipper’s MDQ or does not meet the Gas Quality requirements in Exhibit “A” part C. Any Gas at any Delivery Point for which the Target Suction Pressure is not maintained during any Month will be subject to a reduction in the Gathering Fee or the Reduced Fee for the Month during which such pressures are not at the Target Suction Pressure, and after the Target Suction Pressure is restored, the rate shall return to the Gathering Fee set forth in Exhibit “E”.

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM) PAGE  6

(b) The Gathering Fee shall be subject to modification based on the Actual Suction Pressure for each Month as follows, and as referenced on Exhibit “E”:

Actual Suction Pressure		Fee Modification
Greater than Target Suction Pressure but less than A psig		no modification
Greater than A psig but less than B psig		minus $*** per Dth*
Greater than B psig		modification to the Reduced Rate and Remedy described in Section 1.6(c)

* Such modification, if any, shall be in the form of a credit on the LMM statement to Shipper for the first Month following the subject Month.

(c) In the event that the Actual Suction Pressure exceeds the pressure designated as [B] in Exhibit “E” for the relevant Delivery Point for *** Days in any *** Day period, and provided that LMM is not proceeding with diligence toward steps to cure its failure to maintain the pressures, then, at Shipper’s election, (i) Shipper may construct such improvements as Shipper may deem necessary to remedy LMM’s failure to maintain the Actual Suction Pressure below pressure designated as [B] in Exhibit “E” for the relevant Delivery Point, in which case all Gas gathered through such improvement (which improvement shall be the sole property of Shipper) shall be Gathered by LMM at the Reduced Rate, or (ii) each well constrained by the Actual Suction Pressure being above [B] and all Gas produced from such well will no longer be subject to this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, no Excluded Days will be counted for purposes of determining the *** Day and *** Day periods described above.

(d) The remedies as stated in this Section 1.6 shall be Shipper’s sole remedy for LMM’s failure to achieve or maintain the Target Suction Pressure.

1.7 LMM shall undertake commercially reasonable measures on the Gathering System, taking into account the economic interests of LMM and Shippers, to maintain the operating pressure on the Gathering System. If Shipper reasonably determines that LMM has failed to undertake commercially reasonable measures to maintain the operating pressures on the Gathering System, and the failure to maintain such operating pressures is not related to any issue or condition at the well, or any problem on any part of the Flow Line, or otherwise caused by any act or inaction of Shipper, Shipper may so notify LMM, and request that LMM undertake a remedy proposed by Shipper to maintain the operating pressure. Such proposed remedy shall be specific enough and contain sufficient detail to allow LMM to evaluate its commercial and engineering reasonableness. If LMM elects to not undertake Shipper’s proposed remedy, Shipper may proceed, at its sole cost and expense, to undertake such remedy as proposed. If it is later determined that Shipper’s remedy was in the economic interest of LMM to pursue, then, LMM shall reimburse Shipper (i) its costs in undertaking such measures, plus (ii) *** percent (***%) per annum of the costs set forth in the foregoing clause (i), plus (iii) *** percent (***%) of the costs set forth in the foregoing clause (i). Such remedy will be deemed to be “in the economic interest of LMM” when the increased volumes, based upon an average production for *** Days prior to the completion of the measures compared to an average production *** Days following the completion of such measures, have generated an annualized rate of return of more than *** percent (***%) taking into consideration (x) the applicable gathering fee then in effect (regardless of whether the Gathering Fee or Reduced Fee is in effect), (y) the costs of the improvements to be made and (z) the volume of Gas through that portion of the Gathering System on which the proposed improvements are to be made. If the parties disagree on the conclusion that the remedy was economic, they may resolve the dispute through Alternative Dispute Resolution in accordance with this Agreement.

2. SERVICE OPTIONS

2.1 Increase in the MDQ. Shippers shall have a one-time election to increase the MDQ based upon the actual increase in the capacity of the Gathering System resulting from any improvement to or expansion of the Gathering System that is substantially completed (whether or not such improvement or expansion is actually placed into service) during calendar year 2009. (the “Increased Capacity”) upon completion of such Increased Capacity. Shippers shall request in writing such increase in the MDQ, and shall provide such backup documentation as necessary to confirm the Increased Capacity to be completed pursuant to that APL plan. Upon confirmation of such Increased Capacity by LMM, the Agreement will be unilaterally amended by LMM to increase the MDQ by the amount of Increased Capacity, which amendment shall be effective upon notice to Shippers. In the event the parties agree on a subsequent additional increase in the MDQ, Shippers agree that the additional Gas which makes up the increase in the MDQ shall flow under the terms and conditions of the Expansion Gathering Agreement. In the event the parties do not agree on a subsequent additional increase in the MDQ and if LMM declines to Gather such additional Gas under the Expansion Gathering Agreement, then such additional Gas will no longer be subject to this Agreement.

2.2 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

2.3 LMM’s Obligation and Option to Receive Shipper’s Gas from Future Xxxxx in the Area of Interest.

(a) Future Connectable Xxxxx in Area of Interest. If Shipper owns any right title or interest in Gas that is to be produced from any future Connectable Well in the Area of Interest, Shipper shall at its sole cost and expense construct a Flow Line from such Connectable Well to the Gathering System at a location to be determined by LMM to allow the connection to be made at a point with current or planned capacity sufficient for the expected production while attempting to minimize Shipper’s Flow Line length, but the timing of drilling such future Connectable Well will be within Shipper’s sole discretion. Such Flow Lines shall be the property of the owner of the associated well, and the Flow Lines and related facilities shall be operated and maintained by that owner. Subject to Shipper’s construction of a Flow Line, LMM shall connect the Connectable Xxxxx to the Gathering System at the Receipt Point location agreed to by the parties. If LMM fails to connect such Flow Line to the Gathering System on the later of (i) the Day when the Flow Line is available, (ii) the Day the Flow Line is scheduled for connection as scheduled in the Drilling Plan for such Project as defined in Section 2.6 (or as otherwise reasonably scheduled by Shipper in consultation with LMM if not subject to a Drilling Plan), or (iii) the Day fracturing operations are scheduled to commence as scheduled in the Drilling Plan for such Project as defined in Section 2.6 (or as otherwise reasonably scheduled by Shipper in consultation with LMM if not subject to a Drilling Plan), then LMM shall waive the Gathering Fee for any Gas delivered to the Gathering System from such Flow Line *** Days for each Day that the connection is delayed; provided, however, that should such delay in connection last more than *** Days, then such Connectable Well and all remaining uncompleted xxxxx in the Project will no longer be subject to this Agreement. This Agreement shall be amended to include the Receipt Point at which the Gas associated with each such Connectable Well will be received by LMM, which amendment shall be effective the date the well is connected to the Gathering System.

(b) Future Expansion Xxxxx in Area of Interest. If during the term of this Agreement Shipper owns any right, title or interest in Gas that is to be produced from any future well that is not a Connectable Well in the Area of Interest, (each an “Expansion Well”), then Shipper shall, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to drilling the well, give LMM written notice identifying the name of the well, the location of the well, and a reasonable estimate of the well’s first date of production. Failure of Shipper’s Operator to so notify LMM shall not impair LMM’s rights under this Section 2.3(b). Such Expansion Well will be subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, below, provided that Shipper shall at its sole cost and expense construct the Flow Line up to a total of 2,500 linear feet from the wellhead. If Shipper, by constructing its portion of the Flow Line is able to bring the Flow Line to within 1,000 feet of the Gathering System, LMM shall have the obligation, not the option, to connect the Flow Line to the Gathering System.

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM) PAGE  8

2.4 LMM’s Option to Receive Shipper’s Subsequently Acquired Interest in Gas from Existing and Future Xxxxx in the Area of Interest. If after the Effective Date Shipper acquires any right, title or interest in Gas that is being produced, or is to be produced, from any existing or future well in the Area of Interest, Shipper shall give LMM written notice identifying: Shipper’s right, title or interest in such Gas (“Subsequently Acquired Gas”); the name of the well; the location of the well; the well’s historical production or estimated future production; whether the well will require connection to the Gathering System in order for LMM to receive the Subsequently Acquired Gas; and whether the Subsequently Acquired Gas was acquired by Shipper subject to previously existing dedication (and if so provide LMM a copy of the agreement identifying the person or entity to whom it is dedicated and the remaining primary term of such previously existing dedication). Each Shipper covenants that it will not request or solicit any potential seller of any interest in Gas to create any dedication of the Gas prior to Shipper’s acquisition.

(a) Existing Xxxxx. If the Subsequently Acquired Gas is to be produced from an existing well that is not subject to previously existing dedication, then Shipper shall give LMM such written notice at least ten (10) Business Days (a “Business Day” is any Day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday) prior to the Subsequently Acquired Gas being produced for Shipper’s account. Failure of Shipper to so notify LMM shall not impair LMM’s option under this Section 2.4.

(b) Gas Not Subject to Previously Existing Dedication. If the Subsequently Acquired Gas is not subject to previously existing dedication and is from a Connectable Well, such well shall be connected to the Gathering System consistent with the provisions of Section 2.3(a) above. If the Subsequently Acquired Gas is not subject to previously existing dedication but is from an Expansion Well, then such Expansion Well will be subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(b), above.

(c) Gas Subject to Previously Existing Dedication. If the Subsequently Acquired Gas is subject to a previously existing dedication to a Third Party Gathering System at the time Shipper acquires the Gas, Shipper shall give LMM an additional *** Days’ written notice preceding the expiration or termination of the primary term of the previously existing dedication. *** Subsequently Acquired Gas as described in this paragraph 2.4(c) shall be connected to the Gathering System at LMM’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, the cost of any Flow Line), which cost and expense will not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.8, below.

2.5 Acquisition of Target Business

(a) If Shipper identifies a possible acquisition of interests in production or acreage that would fall within the Area of Interest, whether by acquiring assets or equity interests with respect thereto (a “Target Business”), and if the Gas from the interests in the Target Business is gathered by a Producer System (“Gathering Assets”) that will be acquired in connection with Shipper’s proposed acquisition of the Target Business (the “Proposed Acquisition”), Shipper shall give LMM written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of the Proposed Acquisition as soon as practicable, but in any event not less than *** Days prior to making any binding offer in respect of the Proposed Acquisition. The Offer Notice shall identify (i) the Gathering Assets, (ii) the proposed seller of the Gathering Assets, (iii) the anticipated schedule to be followed in the Proposed Acquisition transaction, including, without limitation, the date on which Shipper intends to make its offer in respect of the Proposed Acquisition (as determined by Shipper, but in any event such anticipated offer date shall be no earlier than ***Days from the date of the Offer Notice) and (iv) any other information that may be necessary for the parties to evaluate whether to jointly pursue the Proposed Acquisition (for the avoidance of doubt, LMM shall have no right to pursue any Proposed Acquisition separately from Shipper absent the prior written consent of Shipper, which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Not less than *** Days prior to the date identified by Shipper as the date Shipper will make its offer in respect of the Proposed Acquisition, LMM shall notify Shipper of whether it has elected to offer to participate in the Proposed Acquisition and the terms of LMM’s offer (including, without limitation, if there is no gathering fee and no allocation by seller upon which to determine a gathering fee for Gas Gathered on the Gathering Assets following the closing of the Proposed Acquisition, LMM’s proposed gathering fee for the time period following the closing of the Proposed Acquisition); failure by LMM to timely make an offer to participate shall be deemed to be an election by LMM not to participate in the Proposed Acquisition. Shipper may either accept or reject LMM’s timely offer in its sole discretion. If LMM elects not to participate, then LMM shall not have any rights in respect of the Proposed Acquisition or the Target Business.

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM) PAGE  9

(b) In the event the nature of the Proposed Acquisition requires that an offer be made by Shipper before the expiration of *** Days from the date of Shipper’s Offer Notice, Shipper shall include such statement in its Offer Notice, and Shipper and LMM shall attempt to negotiate a shorter time period by which LMM has to elect to participate in the Proposed Acquisition. If the parties cannot agree on a shorter time period, Shipper shall have the right to proceed with its offer, provided that if Shipper is successful in acquiring the Target Business, LMM and Shipper may, following Shipper’s closing on the Target business, continue to discuss under what terms LMM may be allowed to purchase the Producer System that is part of the Target Business.

(c) Exception for Marcellus Shale Formation Gas. Any Gas produced from the Marcellus Shale formation from xxxxx spudded following Shipper’s acquisition of the Target Business and within the acreage acquired as part of the acquisition of the Target Business shall be subject to the dedication described in Section 1.1 above.

(d) Limitation on Operation of Gathering Assets by Shipper. In the event that LMM does not participate with Shipper in a given Proposed Acquisition pursuant to this Section 2.5, Shipper may acquire, own and operate such Gathering Assets; provided, that Shipper (i) may utilize such Gathering Assets solely to gather Gas produced from xxxxx on the acreage acquired by Shipper in the related Proposed Acquisition and may not transport any third-party volumes through such Gathering Assets except to the extent that such third-party Gas was being transported on the Gathering Assets prior Shipper’s acquisition of the Gathering Assets, and (ii) may not expand or improve the operating capacity of such Gathering Assets except to the extent necessary to Gather Shipper’s Gas from the acreage acquired as part of Shipper’s acquisition of the Target Business.

2.6 Gathering System Expansions.

(a) Shippers shall provide to LMM at the start of each calendar quarter a plan forecasting drilling and development activity within the Area of Interest for the immediately ensuing *** Months (the “Scoping Plan”) and a plan forecasting drilling and development activity for the immediately ensuing *** Months (the “Drilling Plan”) (together the “Scoping Plan” and the “Drilling Plan” may be referred to as the “Plans”). Each Drilling Plan shall include a description of each individual project (which may be limited to a single well, each a “Project”), which Project description shall at a minimum include ***; and any other information reasonably requested by LMM. Upon request, and provided such document is available, Shipper shall provide LMM with a copy of any of Shipper’s authority for expenditure documents relating to any well or Project. The parties shall meet no less frequently than once a Month to review the Plans, discuss any changes to the Plans, and to discuss alternatives with regard to the possible expansion of LMM’s Gathering System. Upon receipt of the Drilling Plan, LMM shall, within *** Days, provide Shippers for each Project described in the Drilling Plan, either a proposal (the “Expansion Proposal”) outlining the recommended facilities to be installed in order to Gather Shippers’ Gas from a Project (the “Expansion”) or, at LMM’s election, notice to Shipper that it has elected to not expand the Gathering System to connect a Project. The Expansion Proposal for each Project with respect to which LMM has elected to build an Expansion will include (i) a detailed description of the facilities that will comprise the Expansion, including without limitation ***, (ii) all hydraulic modeling results and assumptions relating to the Expansion; (iii) ***; (iv) the estimated throughput capacity of the Expansion; (v) ***, (vi) construction milestones including the date on which construction of the Expansion will commence, the date for completion of installation of all proposed compression and processing plants, if any, to be included in the Expansion, and the date on which the expanded Gathering System will be available to receive the Gas and (vii) any other information reasonably requested by Shipper.

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM) PAGE  10

(b) Upon receipt of each Expansion Proposal, Shippers shall have *** Days to either:

(i) accept the recommendations as presented in an Expansion Proposal, in which case LMM shall proceed with the development and construction of the Expansion as described in the Expansion Proposal, and Shippers shall be liable for the recovery of the costs to construct the facilities as set forth in Section 2.8, above; or

(ii) reject the recommendations as presented in an Expansion Proposal, and instead propose an alternative(s) to the recommendations as proposed. If Shippers propose an alternative to the recommended facilities and construction plan, LMM shall have the option, within *** Business Days to either:

(A) elect to build the Expansion in accordance with Shipper’s proposed alternative;

(B) work with Shippers to revise the recommendation into a mutually agreeable alternative;

(C) reject the alternative and elect to construct LMM’s originally recommended facilities, provided that in this instance, LMM’s recovery pursuant to Section 2.8 shall be limited to the estimated cost of Shippers’ alternative; or

(D) reject the proposed alternative without electing to construct either LMM’s or Shippers’ recommendations, and instead opt to enlist a neutral third party (Project Arbitrator) to determine which of the conflicting alternatives is based upon the most optimal system design that is specific to the Project for which the recommendations were proposed in terms of cost and scope of the Project, taking in to account the cost to Shipper to connect to the Legacy Gathering System, the Marcellus Gathering System, or a third party. The Project Arbitrator shall be chosen by agreement between LMM and Shippers and shall have relevant engineering and project development experience in the natural gas industry. Shippers and LMM will each pay one-half of the cost of the Project Arbitrator. Shipper and LMM shall each provide their proposed recommendations to the Project Arbitrator upon his or her retention and shall meet together with the Project Arbitrator at a time designated by such Project Arbitrator, which time shall be within *** Days of his or her retention (or such other time as LMM and Shipper may agree) to present their respective recommendations, and the Project Arbitrator shall have *** Days to choose one or the other of the recommendations. The Project Arbitrator shall have no authority to revise either recommendation prior to selection, but must make his or her selection on the basis of the recommendations presented by LMM and Shippers. If the Project Arbitrator chooses Shipper’s recommendation, then LMM shall construct the Expansion in accordance with the selected recommendation and the recovery of the costs of construction pursuant to Section 2.8 shall be limited to the estimated cost of Shipper’s recommendation as chosen by the Project Arbitrator, but if Shipper’s recommendation is based upon connecting to a third party, then LMM may nonetheless elect to construct LMM’s originally recommended Expansion, provided that in this instance, LMM’s recovery pursuant to Section 2.8 shall be limited to ***.

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM) PAGE  11

(c) If LMM fails to construct the Expansion in accordance with the schedule described in the Expansion Proposal as such Expansion Proposal may be modified pursuant to Section 2.6(b), above, then after a well is ultimately connected, Shipper shall pay the Reduced Fee for a period that equals ***. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such well remains unconnected for *** Days beyond the scheduled completion date, then Shipper will have the option to either connect the well to the Gathering System at its own cost and expense and pay the Reduced Fee thereafter or such gas shall be released from dedication hereunder.

(d) If the constructed Expansion materially fails to perform in accordance with the Expansion Proposal, as the Expansion Proposal may be modified pursuant to Section 2.6(b), above, but excluding failures by LMM to maintain Target Suction Pressures and operating pressures for which Shipper would be covered under Section 1.6, then Shipper shall pay the Reduced Fee during any period of such nonperformance and thereafter return to the Gathering Fee set forth in Exhibit “E”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such expansion continues to materially fail to perform for *** Days in the aggregate in any *** Day period, then Shipper will have the option to either (i) continue to cause Gas to be Gathered through the nonperforming expansion into the Gathering System at the Reduced Fee during the time of nonperformance, (ii) construct at its own cost and expense a separate connection to the Gathering System to Gather the Gas that the nonperformance of the expansion stranded from the Gathering System, and pay the Reduced Fee with respect to such Gas, or (iii) remove such Gas from the dedication.

2.7 Connections where LMM Elects to Not Connect well in Drilling Plan. If LMM does not exercise its option to connect an Expansion Well (including where such Expansion Well is not part of a Project), then LMM will be deemed to have elected not to connect such Expansion Well or Project to the Gathering System. If LMM elects not to connect an Expansion Well or Project to the Gathering System, then Shipper may, in Shipper’s sole discretion, connect such Expansion Well or Project, at its sole cost and expense, to: (i) the Gathering System, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.7; or (ii) to a third party, provided that any such Expansion Well or Project connected to a third party will no longer be subject to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if LMM does not exercise its option to connect an Expansion Well that is part of a Project, then the foregoing remedy described in Section 2.7 (i) and (ii) shall apply to that well and to all remaining uncompleted xxxxx in the Project. If Shipper elects to connect such Expansion Well or Project to the Gathering System, then, when Shipper has developed a reasonable estimate for the connection of such Expansion Well or Project (“Shipper’s Estimate”), Shipper shall provide the Shipper’s Estimate to LMM, and LMM shall have *** Days to elect to connect such Expansion Well or Project, as the case may be, on the basis of Shipper’s Estimate. If LMM again chooses to not make the connection after review of Shipper’s Estimate, and if Shipper elects to proceed to connect such Expansion Well or Project to the Gathering System, Shipper shall pay to LMM only the Reduced Fee as set forth in Exhibit “E” for all volumes from such Expansion Well or Project which are received into the Gathering System through the Shipper-constructed connection. Shipper shall retain title to all Flow Lines or other lines and equipment installed by Shipper in order to connect such Expansion Well or Project in accordance with this Section 2.7. In the event there is any increase in the drilling activity within *** years of Shipper connecting to the Gathering System which results in a greater number of xxxxx within the area of connection constructed by Shipper hereunder, or if the ratio of the xxxxx’ formations or depth objectives (e.g., Devonian or Marcellus) varies from that shown in the Drilling Plan, then LMM shall have option to purchase such gathering assets for ***. Should LMM purchase such gathering assets, Shipper shall pay the Gathering Fee set forth in Exhibit “E”.

2.8 Recovery of Costs.

(a) If LMM connects an Expansion Well to the Gathering System in accordance with Section 2.6, and after the *** Months following the connection (“Recovery Period”), to the extent LMM’s Actual Cost exceeds the Recovered Cost (as defined below), LMM shall be entitled to recover its Actual Cost from Shipper. LMM’s “Recovered Cost” shall be determined by multiplying the allocated volumes of Gas from Shippers and third parties, in Dth, Gathered by LMM during the Recovery Period by the Gathering Fee and multiply that product by ***. If at the end of the Recovery Period the Recovered Cost is less than the Actual Cost, Shipper shall, within *** Days of the receipt of a statement from LMM detailing LMM’s Actual Cost, pay LMM an amount equal to the difference between the Actual Cost and the Recovered Cost, with such difference being divided by ***, to the extent that Shipper does not dispute LMM’s calculation of its Actual Cost. If this Agreement should terminate or expire prior to the end of the Recovery Period for the well and the Recovered Cost through such termination or expiration is less than the Actual Cost, Shipper shall, within *** Days of the receipt of a statement from LMM, pay LMM an amount equal to the difference between the Actual Cost and the Recovered Cost, to the extent that Shipper does not dispute LMM’s calculation of its Actual Cost. For purposes of this Section 2.8, “Actual Cost” shall be defined as the actual third-party costs incurred by LMM to connect the Expansion Well, but shall be limited to the facilities on and installation of pipeline *** inches (***”) in diameter or less upstream of any compression facilities on the Gathering System.

(b) Shipper shall make a good faith effort to timely complete each Project. In the event LMM has incurred costs building an Expansion to connect a Project, which costs are not otherwise subject to Section 2.8(a), and if Shipper fails to complete such Project in good faith, then LMM shall have the right to recover its direct costs allocated to Shipper in accordance with Section 2.6(a) incurred in connection with building the Expansion for the Project, as described in Section 2.8(a), subject to LMM’s obligation to mitigate such costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LMM shall have the right to recover its costs as described in this Section 2.8(b) in the event Shipper does not complete a Project due to any reason other than (i) an adverse change in the economics of the Project, (ii) an event of Force Majeure, including without limitation and in addition to any other definition of Force Majeure herein, regulatory limitations, deficiencies in title or other impediments to access, inability to market gas (provided such inability is outside the reasonable control of Shipper and can be cured at reasonable cost to Shipper), gas quality, or unexpected geological conditions, or (iii) any act of or failure to act by LMM. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “an adverse change in the economics of the Project” shall mean that the Project, as set forth in the relevant Drilling Plan and modified as required by then-current assumptions relating to operating parameters, Gas pricing and other considerations adversely affecting the Project, does not have a positive after-tax net present value (i) when the analysis is performed using the criteria outlined in Exhibit “H”, (ii) using a *** percent (***%) discount rate and (iii) using a per annum Gas price assumption equal to the average *** price adjusted for any basis differential then in effect at the time of determination fixed for the useful life of each well in the Project.

2.9 Standard of Construction and Operation. All Flow Lines and well connections performed by Shipper to Shipper xxxxx and to the Gathering System shall be in accordance with industry standards and consistent with the methods and standards employed with respect to other xxxxx connected to the Gathering System. Any such well shall be required to adhere to all of the operating, safety, pressure, and measurement provisions contained in this Agreement or otherwise reasonably required by LMM from time to time in the ordinary course of LMM’s gathering business.

2.10 Shipper’s Liability for Failure to Abide by Dedication. Unless LMM ultimately declines to exercise any option to connect any well under this Article 2, or such xxxxx have been released from dedication pursuant to this Agreement, Shipper shall be liable to LMM for any and all damages resulting from Shipper’s connection of xxxxx to any gathering system other than the Gathering System.

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM) PAGE  13

2.11 Initial Drilling Plan and Initial Connection Plan. The parties agree that the initial Drilling Plan attached hereto as Exhibit “I-1” and the initial connection plan attached hereto as Exhibit “I-2” (the “Initial Connection Plan”) establish the preliminary agreed upon activities and schedule for the period described therein (for the avoidance of doubt, and not withstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, Exhibits “I-1” and “I-2” need not necessarily cover a twelve (12) Month period). Those portions of the Initial Connection Plan addressing Expansion Xxxxx (if any), shall be deemed to be a timely given and fully accepted Expansion Proposal for the period described in Exhibit “I-2.”

3. CONDITIONING OF GAS

3.1 Gas Failing to Meet Certain Specifications. In the event that Shipper’s Gas does not meet the quality specifications set forth in Exhibit “A”, part C of this Agreement, LMM shall, without cost to Shipper or LMM, blend such Gas with existing production so that the Gas meets the applicable specifications or, in the event blending does not resolve the issue, LMM may shut in the well or xxxxx from which the off-specification Gas is produced and provide Shipper with a temporary release from dedication under this Agreement with respect to such xxxxx.

3.2 Installation of Conditioning Facilities by LMM. LMM shall provide written notice to Shipper within *** Days following the receipt of all information that LMM has reasonably requested that Shipper provide (which request shall be made within *** Business Days of the Day on which the well or xxxxx were shut-in pursuant to Section 3.1 above) to evaluate whether the construction of facilities or the utilization of existing available facilities (either owned by LMM or by any third party) is necessary to bring Gas back into the required specifications. If LMM fails to timely provide notice to Shipper as set forth above, Shipper’s Gas which has been shut in shall be released from dedication hereunder. In the event LMM elects to construct and operate conditioning facilities to handle the off-specification Gas, or otherwise utilizes existing available facilities, LMM may choose on a well-by-well basis to condition the Gas either (a) on a Dth/keep whole basis, in which case LMM shall retain the natural gas liquids processed from Shipper’s Gas and will make available for Shipper’s account one hundred percent (100%) of Shipper’s allocated plant inlet Dth at the Delivery Point(s) (in which case, LMM shall install sampling mechanisms at each plant inlet and draw samples from the Gas at each plant inlet at least semi-annually, and Shipper shall also have access to such sampling mechanisms to draw samples in its discretion) or (b) for a fee, which conditioning fee shall be sixteen percent (16%) of the sale of the processed natural gas liquids. If LMM elects to condition Shipper’s Gas on a keep whole basis, as described above, and if gas is unavailable for LMM to deliver to Shipper’s account in order to keep Shipper whole, then LMM may make payment to Shipper to account for the dekatherms of Shipper’s Gas that were shrunk out of the processing of Shipper’s Gas with reference to pricing and volumes at the relevant Delivery Point; provided, however, that in no event shall LMM remove natural gas liquids to the extent that Shippers’ Gas delivered at any Delivery Point is below the minimum heating value specification, if any, required by the Interconnecting Pipeline at such Delivery Point. Regardless of the conditioning option chosen by or for LMM, Shipper shall continue to pay the Gathering Fee on the Gas conditioned.

3.3 Failure by LMM to Condition. LMM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently pursue installation of conditioning facilities or the use of existing facilities (including third party facilities) where such installation or utilization has been determined to be necessary. If, after the later of (a) *** Months of the xxxxx first being subject to temporary release, or (b) *** Months after receiving the required permits for the installation of conditioning facilities, the xxxxx are still subject to temporary release as set forth in Section 3.1, above, and LMM is not conditioning all of the off-specification Gas in order to bring the Gas in compliance with the applicable specifications set forth in Exhibit “A”, part C, the xxxxx which are producing the off-specification Gas shall be permanently released from dedication hereunder upon written notice from Shipper.

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM) PAGE  14

3.4 Processing Facilities. When it appears that certain xxxxx or Projects will likely require processing of the Gas for removal of commercially viable volumes of natural gas liquids, Shipper will include such anticipated processing requirements in the Plans and the Project descriptions as provided in Section 2.6. LMM shall have the exclusive option to provide processing services to Shippers for the proposed Projects as follows. If LMM elects to install Processing Facilities under a Project described pursuant to Section 2.6 to provide processing services, or to provide processing services through utilization of existing facilities (including third party facilities), it shall so notify Shippers in its Expansion Proposal (provided that Shipper has given LMM all information reasonably requested by LMM to make an informed decision). Prior to the commercial operation of the processing facilities, LMM shall designate, in its sole discretion, whether the processing services shall be provided pursuant to a Dth/keep whole structure or a percent of liquids structure, at LMM’s sole option.

(a) If LMM elects to process Shipper’s Gas pursuant to the Dth/keep whole structure, LMM will retain one hundred percent (100%) of the natural gas liquids Processed from Shippers’ Gas and LMM will either (i) deliver one hundred percent (100%) of Shippers’ allocated plant inlet Dth to the Delivery Points(s) or (ii) make a cash payment to Shippers equal to the wholesale market price for natural gas at the time and the location, multiplied by the Dths of Shippers’ Gas that were consumed as Shrink in the processing of Shippers’ Gas during the prior Month. Such processing will be performed under a separate agreement mutually acceptable to Shipper and LMM.

(b) If LMM elects to process Shipper’s Gas under a percent of liquids structure, Shippers shall receive *** percent (***%) of the gross plant products processed from Shippers’ Gas and Shippers shall provide *** percent (***%) of the shrink attributable to the gross plant products processed from Shippers’ Gas. Such processing will be performed under a separate agreement mutually acceptable to Shipper and LMM.

Regardless of the processing option chosen by LMM, Shipper shall continue to pay the Gathering Fee on the Gas processed.

If LMM elects to not process Shippers’ Gas for xxxxx associated with the proposed Project, then Shippers may seek processing services from a third party provider, and the Gas associated with that Project shall be released from dedication hereunder.

4. STATEMENTS AND PAYMENT

The component analysis and Gross Heating Value of the Gas shall be determined and calculated at least semi-annually by whomever is operating the CTM equipment, as determined in Section D.4, but either party may conduct such analysis at its discretion and cost. The component analysis and Gross Heating Value of the Gas shall be based on any of the following at the choice of the operator of the CTM equipment; continuous samples, or on-line analysis. The component analysis of the Gas shall be performed by Gas chromatography in accordance with GPA 2261 or any pertinent revision(s) thereto or replacement(s) thereof. If the component percentages fall outside the limits of GPA 2261, then the operator of the CTM equipment shall make a reasonable judgment as to the accuracy of the component analysis. If neither party objects in writing to the results within sixty (60) Days after their delivery, such results shall become conclusive. If either party objects in writing to the results within sixty (60) Days after their delivery, then: in the case of spot samples, a re-sampling, redetermination and recalculation shall be performed by a third party acceptable to both parties and such third party’s results shall be used; and in the case of continuous samples or on-line analysis, the analyzer shall be tested for accuracy according to GPA 2261 and, if warranted, a recalculation of the components shall be made by a means acceptable to the parties. The cost of any re-sampling, retesting, redetermination and/or recalculation shall be borne by the objecting party.

C.7 Correction of Gross Heating Value for Water Vapor. The Gross Heating Value of the Gas shall be corrected for water vapor content in accordance with GPA 181 and 2172. Gas having a water vapor content of greater than *** pounds per MMcf at CTM shall be considered fully saturated. Gas having a water vapor content of less than or equal to *** pounds per MMcf at CTM shall be considered dry.

C.8 Computation Factors. The specific gravity of the Gas shall be calculated by the operator of the CTM equipment and shall be adjusted for the difference between the specific gravity in the ideal state and in the real state in accordance with ANSI/API 2530. The deviation of the Gas from Xxxxx’x law shall also be calculated by the operator of the CTM equipment and shall be determined in accordance with AGA Transmission Measurement Committee Report No. 8 Both the specific gravity of the Gas and the deviation of the Gas from Xxxxxx’ law shall be based on the component analysis obtained pursuant to Section C.6.

D. VOLUME

D.1 Determination of Temperature for Volume Calculation. The temperature of the Gas shall be determined by a temperature recording device installed by the operator of the CTM equipment in accordance with ANSI/API 2530 and other industry standards. If the temperature of the Gas is recorded by chart, the arithmetic average of the temperatures recorded during periods of Gas flow shall be used in calculating the Dth.

D.2 Correction of Volume due to Calculation Error. An error in volume calculation for a given Delivery Point shall be corrected for such period as the error is determined to have existed, not to exceed one (1) year. In no event, however, shall LMM be obligated to correct an error in volume calculation for a given Delivery Point unless it resulted in an error of greater than *** percent (***%) and *** Dth per Month at the Delivery Point during the correction period. Such correction shall only be processed by LMM prospectively with the current Month’s business based upon Shipper’s current allocation of the Available Supply at that Delivery Point as provided by Shipper’s Operator.

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM) PAGE 8

D.3 Correction of Volume due to Reallocation by Shipper’s Operator. Shipper’s Operator shall make prospectively any correction of volume due to a reallocation of the Available Supply at a given Receipt Point.

D.4 Custody Transfer Measurement or “CTM”. CTM for any Receipt Point or Delivery Point in existence as of the Effective Date shall be performed by whoever is providing CTM at that Receipt point or Delivery Point as of the Effective Date. For all Receipt Point(s) and Delivery Point(s) where LMM does not provide CTM and check meters, Shipper shall make all measurement and Gas quality data from such CTM and check meters available to LMM. However, if LMM installs CTM equipment at any Receipt Point or Delivery Point after the Effective Date, then CTM at that Receipt Point or Delivery Point shall be performed by LMM. Except as otherwise provided in this Section D, all CTM and CTM equipment shall comply with ANSI/API 2530. Meter charts may be rotated as determined by LMM. LMM may install and operate electronic flow measurement equipment to perform CTM, in which case it shall be installed and operated in accordance with the applicable methods and standards that have been approved by the API. When alternate methods and standards are permitted for low volume xxxxx by the regulatory agency with jurisdiction, then such alternate methods and standards shall apply to CTM and CTM equipment serving such low volume xxxxx.

D.5 Notice of CTM Equipment Tests. Tests of the CTM equipment shall be performed by the operator of the CTM equipment at least once each calendar quarter. Where LMM is operating the CTM Equipment, LMM shall give Shipper’s Operator *** notice of the time and location of any tests of the CTM equipment so that Shipper’s Operator may be present. Where Shipper’s Operator is operating the CTM Equipment, Shipper’s Operator shall give LMM *** notice of the time and location of any tests of the CTM equipment so that LMM may be present. If the party not operating the CTM equipment is unsatisfied with the test, it shall notify the operator of the CTM equipment to perform a retest. The cost of retesting shall be paid by the party requesting the retest unless the retest shows a difference between the registration of the CTM equipment and test instrument of greater than *** percent (***%) and *** Dth, in which case the cost of retesting shall be paid by the party who did not request the retest. Any CTM equipment found to be measuring inaccurately shall be promptly restored to accuracy by the operator of the CTM equipment.

D.6 Check Meter. Either party may install and operate a check meter at its own expense to check the CTM equipment. Except as provided in Section D.7, the readings of the CTM equipment shall govern. The check meter shall be installed so as not to interfere with the operation of the CTM equipment. Pulsation filters may be required if unacceptable square root error or gauge line error shift occurs as a result of the check meter. If a disagreement arises regarding the source of pulsation, a third party consultant shall be selected by the parties to determine the source of the pulsation. The party responsible for the source of the pulsation shall pay all the consulting fees and costs associated with identifying and eliminating the source of the pulsation. Shipper will use the alternate taps on the meter run for check measurement. If alternate taps do not provide a viable option, Shipper will seek a variance from the regulatory entities and LMM to use LMM’s meter taps.

D.7 Correction of CTM Equipment Inaccuracies. If any test conducted pursuant to Section D.5 reveals an inaccuracy of greater than *** percent (***%) and *** Dth in the registration of the CTM equipment, the volume of Gas measured by such CTM equipment shall be corrected for such period as the inaccuracy is confirmed to have existed, not to exceed ***, or, if not confirmable, then for such period as the parties can agree upon, not to exceed ***. If the correction period is not confirmable and cannot be agreed upon, then the correction period shall extend back one-half (1/2) of the time elapsed since the CTM equipment was last calibrated, not to exceed ***. The volume of Gas actually received per Day through the CTM equipment shall be determined on the basis of the best data available using the first of the following methods which is feasible:

(a) by using the registration of the other party’s check meter if registering accurately; or

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM) PAGE 9

(b) by calibration, test, or mathematical calculation if the percentage of inaccuracy is ascertainable with reasonable certainty; or

(c) by estimating the volume of Gas received by comparison to receipts during prior Months under similar conditions when the CTM equipment was registering accurately.

In no event, however, shall LMM be obligated to correct any volume measurement inaccuracy for given CTM Equipment unless it resulted in an inaccuracy of greater than *** percent (***%) and *** Dth per Month at the affected Delivery Point during the correction period. Such correction shall only be processed by LMM prospectively with the current Month’s business based upon Shipper’s current allocation of the Available Supply at the affected Delivery Point as provided by Shipper’s Operator.

D.8 Measurement During Periods of CTM Equipment Failure. In the event of any Force Majeure event which prevents LMM from obtaining or recovering actual measurement data from the CTM Equipment, the volume of Gas received shall be estimated by comparison to receipts during the prior Months under similar conditions until such time as LMM is again able to obtain accurate data from the CTM Equipment, but in no event for a period longer than *** Days. Any estimated volumes relied upon under such circumstances shall be considered actual volumes for such period of time.

K. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in this Article K, which shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such disputes. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation between executives who have authority to settle the controversy and who are at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for administration of this contract. Any party may give the other party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within fifteen (15) Days after delivery of the notice, the receiving party shall submit to the other a written response. The notice and the response shall include (a) a statement of each party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name and title of the executive who will represent that party and of any other person who will accompany the executive. Within thirty (30) Days after delivery of the disputing party’s notice, the executives of both parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one party to the other will be honored. All negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the matter has not been resolved by these persons within forty-five (45) Days of the disputing party’s notice, the dispute shall be referred to more senior executives of both parties who have authority to settle the dispute and who shall likewise meet to attempt to resolve the dispute.

If the dispute has not been resolved by negotiation within sixty (60) Days of the disputing party’s notice, or if the parties failed to meet within the thirty (30) Day period set forth above, the parties shall endeavor to settle the dispute by mediation under the then current CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution mediation procedure in effect on the date of this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, the parties will select a mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals. Notwithstanding the provisions of this clause, either Party may seek from any court having jurisdiction hereof any interim, provisional or injunctive relief that may be necessary to protect the rights or property of any party or maintain the status quo before, during or after the pendency of the mediation proceeding. The institution and maintenance of any judicial action or proceeding for any such interim, provisional or injunctive relief shall not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of either Party to submit the dispute to negotiation and mediation as described above, including any claims or disputes arising from the exercise of such interim, provisional or injunctive relief. If the dispute has not been resolved by mediation as provided herein within ninety (90) Days of the initiation of the above procedures, either party may initiate litigation upon thirty (30) Days’ written notice to the other party; provided, however, that if one party has requested the other to participate in any of the above non-binding procedures and the other has failed to participate, the requesting party may initiate litigation before expiration of the above period.

L. MISCELLANEOUS

L.1 New Requirements of Interconnecting Pipeline(s). LMM may from time to time become subject to new requirements imposed by the Interconnecting Pipeline(s). LMM shall provide written notice to Shipper of any such new requirements. Except as provided in Section C.1, above, thereafter, Shipper shall comply with such new requirements or LMM may suspend or terminate this Agreement. In addition, Shipper shall release, indemnify, and defend LMM from any claims resulting from Shipper’s failure to comply with such new requirements.

L.2 Governing Law/Jury Waiver. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to choice of law principles thereof. The parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial before any court having jurisdiction hereunder.

L.3 Severability. Should any part of this Agreement be found to be unenforceable or be required to be modified by a court or governmental authority, then only that part of this Agreement shall be affected. The remainder of this Agreement shall remain in force and unmodified. If the absence or modification of the affected part of this Agreement substantially deprives either party of the economic benefit of this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate reasonable and enforceable provisions to restore the economic benefit to the party so deprived consistent with the intent originally reflected in this Agreement.

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM) PAGE 13

L.4 Waiver. A waiver by either party of any one or more defaults by the other party shall not operate as a waiver of any future default(s), whether of a like or different character.

(b) To courts or other governmental authorities, including persons or entities to whom disclosure is required by such courts or other governmental authorities, or as otherwise required by law, regulation, rule, order or stock exchange listing standard; provided, however, that the party making such disclosure shall use its best efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.

(c) To prospective purchasers of an interest in a party or a parties’ assets, subject to such prospective purchaser being bound by a nondisclosure agreement. provided, however, that LMM shall first obtain the consent of Shipper prior to providing any Confidential Information to a prospective purchaser, and that such prospective purchasers have agreed in writing to keep the Confidential Information confidential; provided, however, LMM may provide the Agreement to such prospective purchasers without seeking such consent.

Except as provided above, under no circumstances shall the terms of this Agreement be disclosed to any other third party, including any newspaper, magazine or other publication, without the prior written consent of the other party.

DRILLING PLAN

[remainder of page intentionally left blank; schedule

of Drilling Plan begins on following page]

Shippers’ Drilling Plan

This Drilling Plan consists of two schedules (Microsoft Excel spreadsheets), as follows:

1. A document entitled “Drilling Schedule 4-1-09 through 3/31/10” which is Shippers’ drilling schedule (as of May 12, 2009) showing all vertical and horizontal xxxxx intended (as of May 12, 2009) to be spudded by Shippers on or prior to May 7, 2009 within the Area of Interest. The xxxxx highlighted in yellow (designated as “Xxxxxxxx XXX”) are subject to the exclusions set forth in Exhibit “F” to the Agreement and are not subject to the dedication contained in the Agreement and are included for informational purposes only; provided, however, that the Xxxxxx Nos. 21H, 23H and 24H are located on Option Parcels (as defined in that certain Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Agreement effective as of November 1, 2008 by and between Atlas America, LLC (in its capacity as a producer and as transporter) and PC Exploration, Inc. with respect to which LMM has become the Transporter (as defined therein)) and hence may be available for gathering by LMM.

2. A document entitled “Xxxxx that need to be pipelined, located in the Deemston AMI and West Bethlehem Township, Washington County”. This document is a list of xxxxx previously drilled within the Area of Interest that remain unconnected to the Gathering System and that Shippers would like to have LMM connect to the Gathering System for Gathering under the Agreement. Each of these xxxxx is a vertical well completed in multiple Upper Devonian sands. Shippers are not providing specific estimated ultimate recovery or thermal content data for each of these xxxxx; however, Shippers expect that each of these xxxxx could produce between 30 mcf and 70 mcf per day on average, subject to applicable decline rates and specific conditions relating to each well. The two groupings of xxxxx are each deemed a Project for purposes of the Agreement.

LMM and Shippers also agreed that the Xxxxxx #14 well, previously drilled by Shippers in the Xxxxxx Project area and awaiting piping, is deemed included in this Drilling Plan.

The Parties acknowledge that this Drilling Plan refers to certain xxxxx under the heading “Shallow xxxxx located within the PCX AMI but which are 100% Shipper xxxxx” and that LMM’s Initial Connection Plan (Exhibit I-2) does not address such xxxxx and that the Parties have not had sufficient opportunity to reach agreement concerning the treatment of these xxxxx under the Agreement, and each Party reserves all of its rights and remedies under the Agreement with respect to such xxxxx. The Parties will work to reach agreement regarding such xxxxx at the next following regular planning meeting between the Parties.

LMM and Shippers agree that the Parties shall work to resolve any inconsistencies between this Exhibit I-1 and Exhibit I-2 or any inaccuracy in either Exhibit at the next following regular planning meeting between the Parties.

LMM’s Initial Connection Plan

NOTES:

a. This Initial Connection Plan responds to that Drilling Schedule 04-01-09 through 03-31-10, dated May 12, 2009, provided by Shipper and attached to the Gathering Agreement as Exhibit I-1. The xxxxx highlighted in yellow on that Schedule and designated as “Xxxxxxxx XXX” are subject to the exclusion set forth in Exhibit “F” to the Agreement, and are not subject to the dedication contained in the Agreement, and thus LMM has no obligation to connect. While there may be reference to such xxxxx in this Initial Connection Plan, such are included for informational purposes only in keeping with the initial Drilling Plan of Shipper.

b. The Parties acknowledge that the Drilling Plan (Exhibit I-1) refers to certain xxxxx under the heading “Shallow xxxxx located within the PCX AMI but which are 100% Shipper xxxxx,” but that this Initial Connection Plan does not address such xxxxx, and that the Parties have not had sufficient opportunity to reach agreement concerning the treatment of these xxxxx under the Agreement, and each Party reserve all of its rights and remedies under the Agreement with respect to such xxxxx. It is intended that the Parties will work to reach agreement regarding the treament of those xxxxx at the next following regular planning meeting between the Parties.

c. LMM and Shippers agree that the Parties shall work to resolve any inconsistencies between this Exhibit I-1 and Exhibit I-2 or any inaccuracy in either Exhibit at the next following regular planning meeting between the Parties.
