Except as set forth in Schedule
5.1(m),
there exists no imbalance regarding production taken or marketed from any Lease
in which any member of the Atlas Energy Group has an interest or which is included
in the Assets (or from lands pooled with any such Lease) which could result
in (i) a portion of any member of the Atlas Energy Group’s interest in
production therefrom (in the case of any Lease) to be taken or delivered from
or after the Closing Date without such entity receiving payment therefor and
at the price it would have received absent such imbalance; (ii) any such entity
being obligated to make payment to any person or entity as a result of such
imbalance; or (iii) production being shut-in or curtailed from or after the
Closing Date due to non-compliance with allowables, production quotas, proration
rules, or similar orders or regulations of Authorities; and no such entity will
be obligated, by virtue of any prepayment arrangement, take-or-pay agreement,
or similar arrangement, to deliver hydrocarbons produced from the Atlas Energy
Assets at some future time without then receiving full payment therefor.

FURTHER
ASSURANCES
Section
6.1 Further
Assurances.
(a) From
time to time from and after the date of this Contribution Agreement, and without
any further consideration, the Parties agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver
all such additional deeds, assignments, bills of sale, conveyances, instruments,
notices, releases, acquittances and other documents, and will do all such other
acts and things, all in accordance with applicable law, as may be necessary
or
appropriate (i) more fully to assure that the applicable Parties own all of
the
properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges
granted by this Contribution Agreement, or which are intended to be so granted,
or (ii) more fully and effectively to vest in the applicable Parties and their
respective successors and assigns beneficial and record title to the interests
contributed and assigned by this Contribution Agreement or intended so to be,
including the Assets and to more fully and effectively carry out the purposes
and intent of this Contribution Agreement.
(b)
Within a reasonable time after the date of this Contribution Agreement, and
without any further consideration, Atlas America agrees to cause to be delivered
to Atlas Energy true and complete executed copies of (i) all the agreements
of
limited partnership of the Investment Programs, (ii) all the drilling operating
agreements of the Investment Programs and (iii) any other material agreements
to
which any of the Investment Programs is a party (collectively, the “Investment
Program Documents”),
in
the case of each of clauses (i) through (iii), that were not executed or made
available to Atlas Energy as of the date of this Contribution Agreement.
13
Section
6.2 Other
Assurances.
From
time
to time after the date of this Contribution Agreement, and without any further
consideration, each of the Parties shall execute, acknowledged and deliver
all
such additional instruments, notices and other documents, and will do all such
other acts and things, all in accordance with applicable law, as may be
necessary or appropriate to more fully and effectively carry out the purposes
and intent of this Contribution Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of
the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the Parties have used their good
faith efforts to identify all the assets being contributed to the Atlas Energy
Group as required in connection with the Offering. However, due to the age
of
some of those assets or the difficulties in locating appropriate data with
respect to some of the assets, it is possible that assets intended to be
contributed to the Atlas Energy Group were not identified and therefore are
not
included in the Assets. It is the express intent of the Parties that the Atlas
Energy Group will own all assets of the Business as of the Closing Date and
as
described in the Registration Statement. To the extent any assets were not
identified but are necessary to the operation of assets that were identified,
then the intent of the Parties is that all such unidentified assets are intended
to be conveyed to the appropriate members of the Atlas Energy Group. To the
extent such assets are identified at a later date, the Parties shall take the
appropriate actions required in order to convey all such assets to the
appropriate members of the Atlas Energy Group. Likewise, to the extent that
assets are identified at a later date that were not intended by the Parties
to
be conveyed as reflected in the Registration Statement, the Parties shall take
the appropriate actions required in order to convey all such assets to the
appropriate party.

any
violation or correction of violation of Environmental Laws associated with
the
ownership or operation of the Atlas Energy Assets, or
(b)
any event or condition associated with ownership or operation of the Transferred

but
only
to the extent that such violation complained of under Section 7.2(a) or such
events or conditions included under Section 7.2 (b) occurred or existed before
the Closing Date (collectively, “Covered
Environmental Losses”).

Regarding Environmental Indemnification.
The
aggregate liability of Atlas America in respect of all Covered Environmental
Losses under Section 7.2 shall not exceed $25,000,000 and Atlas America will

by Atlas America.
In
addition to and not in limitation of the indemnification provided under Sections
7.2, Atlas America shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of
the
Atlas Energy Group and such member’s directors, officers, members, employees and
representatives from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, claims,
demands, causes of action, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs
and
expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and expert’s
fees) of any and every kind and character, known or unknown, fixed or

the
failure of Atlas America to perform its obligations under Section 3.1 after
the
Closing Date;

and
hold harmless Atlas America and such entity’s directors, officers, members,
employees and representatives from and against all Losses (including court
costs
and reasonable attorney’s and expert’s fees) of any and every kind or character,
known or unknown, fixed or contingent, suffered or incurred by Atlas America
insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon:
(a)
the
Assumed Liabilities, unless such indemnification would not be permitted under
the Operating Agreement; or
(b)
the
failure of Atlas Energy to perform its obligations under Section 3.2 after
the
Closing Date.
15
Section
7.7 Indemnification
Procedure.
(a)
The
indemnified party agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it
becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this
Article VII, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the indemnifying
party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim.
(b)
The
indemnifying party shall have the right to control, at its sole cost and
expense, all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect
to)
any claims brought against the indemnified party that are covered by the
indemnification under this Article VII, including the selection of counsel,
determination of whether to appeal any decision of any Authority and the
settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however,
that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the
indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), with
the
concurrence of the Conflicts Committee of Atlas Energy in the case of the Atlas
Energy Group, unless it includes a full release of the indemnified party from
such matter or issues, as the case may be.
(c)
The
indemnified party agrees to cooperate fully with the indemnifying party, with
respect to (i) its pursuit of insurance coverage or recoveries with respect
to
the claims covered by the indemnification and (ii) all aspects of the defense
of
any claims covered by the indemnification, including the prompt furnishing
to
the indemnifying party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto
that the indemnified party may receive, permitting the name of the indemnified
party to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available
to
the indemnifying party of any files, records or other information of the
indemnified party that the indemnifying party considers relevant to such defense
and the making available to the indemnifying party of any employees,
representatives or agents of the indemnified party; provided, however, that
in
connection therewith the indemnifying party agrees to use reasonable efforts
to
minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the indemnified party and
further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records, and other
information furnished by the indemnified party. In no event shall the obligation
of the indemnified party to cooperate with the indemnifying party as set forth
in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the
indemnified party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with
the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification; provided, however,
that the indemnified party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and
pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The indemnifying party
agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the indemnified party informed as
to
the status of any such defense, but the indemnifying party shall have the right
to retain sole control over such defense.
(d)
The
date on which written notification of a claim for indemnification is received
by
the indemnifying party shall determine whether such claim is timely made.
16
(e)
In
determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which a Person
is entitled to indemnification under this Contribution Agreement, the gross
amount of any such indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds
realized by the indemnified Person, and such correlative insurance benefit
shall
be net of any incremental insurance premiums that become due and payable by
the
indemnified Person as a result of such claim and (ii) all amounts recovered
by
the indemnified Person under contractual indemnities from third Persons.
ARTICLE
VIII

attached hereto, and not to any particular provision of this Contribution
Agreement. All personal pronouns used in this Contribution Agreement, whether
used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, shall include all other
genders, and the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. The use
herein of the word “including” following any general statement, term or matter
shall not be construed to limit such statement, term or matter to the specific
items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items
or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation”,
“but not limited to”, or words of similar import) is used with reference
thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or matters
that
could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general

17
Section
8.7 Severability.
If any
of the provisions of this Contribution Agreement are held by any court of
competent jurisdiction to contravene, or to be invalid under, the laws of any
political body having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof, such
contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Contribution
Agreement. Instead, this Contribution Agreement shall be construed as if it
did
not contain the particular provision or provisions held to be invalid and an
equitable adjustment shall be made and necessary provision added so as to give
effect to the intention of the Parties as expressed in this Contribution
Agreement at the time of execution of this Contribution Agreement.
Section
8.8 Amendment
or Modification.
This
Contribution Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by
the
written agreement of all the Parties; provided, however, that Atlas Energy
