PARTIES' COMMITMENTS

2.1

Commitments. The parties hereby agree immediately to commit to the Venture the consideration set forth below:

RMG:	All Venture Properties valued at	$ 21,800,000
Operator:	Commitment to pay Venture Costs	21,800,000
Total:		$ 43,600,000

Initially, RMG owns 100% in the Venture and Operator will proportionately earn an interest in the Venture Properties as it makes expenditures and will own 50% of any Venture Property jointly acquired by the parties in the AMI, as defined in the Operating Agreement. By drilling a well on Venture Properties, Operator will earn a 50% interest in an 80-acre spacing unit to all depths on which the well is located and will also earn a proportionate interest in the balance of the Venture Properties as follows:

Costs

in U.S. $

Percentage Interest Earned by Operator

Above $10.9 million

25.0%

Above $21.8 million

50.0%

If Operator fails to expend $21.8 million by September 1, 2007 or if Operator elects in writing not to proceed with its Commitment, then the Venture will forthwith convey to Operator one half of that percentage interest in the balance of the Venture Properties equal to the amount expended by Operator divided by $21.8 million (“True Up”) and terminate.

(a)

In the Gap project, Foundation Coal and RMG have an agreement which provides that Foundation Coal has the option on a well-by-well basis to pay all of the costs of drilling, completion and dewatering to first production (i.e., Foundation Coal carries RMG). If Foundation Coal elects to drill and carry RMG, then Operator will have earned its 50% interest. However, if Foundation Coal elects not to drill, Operator must drill the balance to earn its 50% interest in Gap.

Exercise Date. This right to gather gas shall be exercisable 20 days after Operator receives notice of the commencement of production of at least 2 mmcf/d from a project.

(b)

Transportation and Other Charges. Transportation and other charges shall be substantially the same as those being offered by Operator in the area to third parties which such charges shall be reasonably competitive with those being then offered in the area by bona-fide gatherers.

Regardless of any such arrangement made by a party, such party shall remain obligated hereunder as fully as though

such arrangement had not been made and the purchasing party shall not become a party to this Agreement or have any rights hereunder, but shall be obligated specifically to become a party to any operating agreement entered into under the terms hereof.

ARTICLE VII

Should any of the Venture Properties that are subject to the Operating Agreement also be subject to an operating agreement in effect at the time of acquisition thereof by Operator or thereafter entered into by Operator on behalf of the parties hereto with any party or parties owning an operating interest in such property, or should the agreement by which such property was acquired by Operator provide for a form of operating agreement applicable to the property thus acquired, the assignments from Operator to the parties hereto with respect to any such property shall be made subject to the terms and provisions of any such operating agreement in addition to being subject to the operating agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, which latter agreement shall govern the rights between the parties hereto; provided, however, that at the option of Operator exercised at or prior to the assignment of interest to the parties hereto, the form of operating agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B shall not be applicable to

such property and the form of operating agreement in effect when such property was acquired, or thereafter entered as provided above, or applicable to such property under the terms of the agreement by which such property was acquired shall be solely applicable to such property and shall govern the relations of the parties hereto with respect to such property.
