subject to) and decreased by the Gross Asset Value (as such term is defined in Exhibit B) (determined without regard to section 7701(g) of the Code) of each property distributed to such Partner (or such Partner’s predecessor in interest)
by the Partnership pursuant to Article V or Article XI (net of liabilities secured by such property that such Partner is considered to assume or take subject to); 

(c) Increased by the amount of Profits (as such term is defined in Exhibit B attached hereto) or each item of income or gain allocated
to such Partner (or such Partner’s predecessor in interest) pursuant to Section 2.1 of Exhibit B hereto; 
 (d) Decreased by
the amount of Losses or each item of loss or deduction allocated to such Partner (or such Partner’s predecessor in interest) pursuant to Section 2.1 of Exhibit B hereto; and 

(e) Otherwise adjusted in accordance with the other capital account maintenance rules of section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Regulations. 

4.3 Additional Provisions Regarding Capital Accounts. 

(a) If a Partner pays any Partnership indebtedness, and if such payment reduces the outstanding amount of such indebtedness, then to the extent
such payment reduces the outstanding amount of such indebtedness such payment shall be treated as a contribution by that Partner to the capital of the Partnership pursuant to Article III, and the Capital Account of such Partner shall be increased by
the amount so paid by such Partner, provided, however, that no Partner shall have the right to pay any Partnership indebtedness except as otherwise provided herein. 

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, no Partner may contribute capital to, or withdraw capital from, the Partnership. To the extent any
monies which any Partner is entitled to receive pursuant to Article V or any other provision of this Agreement would constitute a return of capital, each Partner consents to the withdrawal of such capital. 

(c) A loan by a Partner to the Partnership shall not be considered a contribution of money to the capital of the Partnership, and the balance
of such Partner’s Capital Account shall not be increased by the amount so loaned. No repayment of principal or interest on any such loan, reimbursement made to a Partner with respect to advances or other payments made by such Partner on behalf
of the Partnership, or payments of fees to a Partner which are made by the Partnership shall be considered a return of capital or in any manner affect the balance of such Partner’s Capital Account. 

  
 9 








 (d) No Partner with a deficit balance in its Capital Account shall have any obligation to the
Partnership, the other Partners or any creditor of the Partnership or Partners to restore said deficit balance. In addition, no venturer or partner in any Partner shall have any liability to the Partnership, the other Partners or any creditor of the
Partnership or Partners for any deficit balance in such venturer’s or partner’s capital account in the Partner in which it is a partner or venturer. Furthermore, a deficit Capital Account balance of a Partner (or a capital account of a
partner or venturer in a Partner) shall not be deemed to be a liability of such Partner (or of such venturer or partner in such Partner) or a Partnership asset or property. 

(e) Except as otherwise provided herein, no interest will be paid on any capital contributed to the Partnership or the balance in any
Partner’s Capital Account. 
 ARTICLE V 

DISTRIBUTIONS 
 5.1
Distributions in General. From time to time, the General Partner, acting in its sole discretion, shall determine the amount, if any, by which the Partnership funds then on hand exceed the reasonable working capital needs of the Partnership,
including reasonable reserves for future Partnership obligations. Any excess funds shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Article V. 

5.2 Distributions. 
 (a)
Available Cash of the Partnership shall, subject to Section 5.3, be distributed to the Partners pro rata in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios. 

(b) At any time, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, the Partnership may make in-kind distributions to one or more (or all) of the
Limited Partners of their Specific Class C Units (or any portion thereof) which remain as Outstanding Class C Units. 
 5.3 Tax
Distributions. 
 (a) Notwithstanding Section 5.2, if the Partnership receives distributions from Eclipse Resources pursuant to
Section 5.4 of the Eclipse Resources Partnership Agreement (“Tax Distributions”) attributable to a preceding taxable year of the Partnership, the Partnership shall make distributions as provided hereinafter in this
Section 5.3 to the Partners: (i) if (A) the Partnership has taxable income for such taxable year and (B) the Partnership has sufficient working capital (as determined in good faith by the General Partner), after taking into
account payment obligations of the Partnership, to make the distributions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) subject to limitations on such distributions contained in any credit facility or other agreement to which the Partnership is a
party, cash distributions shall be made to each Partner who requests such distribution in the positive amount equal to the difference between X minus Y, where “X” is the sum of (I) such Partner’s tax liability arising solely in
respect of its ownership of a Partnership Interest for such taxable year (which tax liability, for the purposes of this Section 5.3, shall be calculated to equal the product of (1) such Partner’s share of the Partnership’s
taxable income for such taxable year, as reflected in such Partner’s K-1 from the Partnership for such taxable year (including for such purpose such Partner’s share of any separately stated items such as depletion and gain or loss from the
sale of oil and gas property), 

  
 10 








 
multiplied by (2) the combined maximum federal and applicable state and local income tax rates applicable to individual taxpayers in the states in which the Partnership has income and gains
being allocated to the Partners for such taxable year, taking into account, if applicable, the deduction of state and local income taxes for federal income tax purposes and whether any portion of such taxable income qualifies for the reduced rates
applicable to long term capital gains (with the intention hereunder being to arrive at a composite federal, state and local tax rate that can be utilized with respect to all Partners for such taxable year taking into account the jurisdictions in
which the Partnership has income and gains arise plus the states in which the Partners reside for tax purposes), plus (II) the sum of all tax liabilities of such Partner (calculated as provided in (I)) for all prior taxable years since the formation
of the Partnership; and “Y” is the sum of all distributions made by the Partnership to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.2 and this Section 5.3 as of the end of the taxable year for which the calculation in “X”(I) is
being made since the formation of the Partnership. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 5.3(a), if a Partner is allocated net taxable loss
pursuant to Section 5.2 (including for such purpose, such Partner’s share of any separately stated items such as depletion and loss from the sale of oil and gas property and the Partner’s allocated share of any such net taxable losses
or separately stated items attributable to the Class C Units contributed by the Partner) during any taxable year, such net loss shall be carried forward to the extent permitted by the Code and shall reduce the taxable income (as calculated in
Section 5.3(a)) of such Partner in succeeding taxable years, until such allocated losses have been reduced to zero. 
 (c) The aggregate
amount of distributions made by the Partnership to a Partner pursuant to Section 5.3(a) shall be deemed the “Advance Amount”. If the General Partner authorizes a distribution to the Partners pursuant to Section 5.3 and at
such time a Partner’s Advance Amount is positive, (i) the Partnership shall be entitled to withhold such Partner’s distribution up to an amount equal to the Advance Amount (with such Advance Amount being reduced by the amount so
withheld) and (ii) the Partnership shall be entitled to distribute such withheld amount to the Partners (after also applying clause (i) to those Partners having positive Advance Amounts) so that, to the maximum extent possible, each
Partner shall have received the amount of distributions that such Partner would have received since the formation of the Partnership as if distributions had been made solely in proportion to the Partners’ respective Sharing Ratios. 

(d) Withholding. If any federal, foreign, state or local jurisdiction requires the Partnership to withhold taxes or other amounts with
respect to any Partner’s allocable share of taxable income or any items thereof, or with respect to distributions, the Partnership shall withhold from distributions or other amounts then due to such Partner an amount necessary to satisfy the
withholding responsibility and shall pay any amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities. In such a case, for purposes of this Agreement the Partner for whom the Partnership has paid the withholding tax shall be deemed to have received
the withheld distribution or other amount due and to have paid the withholding tax directly and such Partner’s share of cash distributions or other amounts due shall be reduced by a corresponding amount. 

If it is anticipated that at the due date of the Partnership’s withholding obligation the Partner’s share of cash distributions or
other amounts due is less than the amount of the withholding obligation, the Partner with respect to which the withholding obligation applies shall 

  
 11 








 
pay to the Partnership the amount of such shortfall within twenty (20) days after notice by the Partnership. If a Partner fails to make the required payment when due hereunder, and the
Partnership nevertheless pays the withholding, in addition to the Partnership’s remedies for breach of this Agreement, the amount paid shall be deemed a recourse loan from the Partnership to such Partner bearing interest at the rate charged by
Eclipse Resources to its partners under Section 5.5 of the Eclipse Resources Partnership Agreement, and the Partnership shall apply all distributions or payments that would otherwise be made to such Partner toward payment of the loan and
interest, which payments or distributions shall be applied first to interest and then to principal until the loan is paid in full. 
 5.4
Forfeiture of Interests. If at any time there are no Specific Class C Units for a Limited Partner which remain as Outstanding Class C Units, the Interest of such Limited Partner will be automatically forfeited with no further action required
by either the Partnership or the General Partner.

(iii) the Persons who are authorized to execute and deliver any instrument or document of or on behalf of the Partnership; or

 (iv) any act or failure to act by the Partnership or as to any other matter whatsoever involving the Partnership or any
Partner. 
 6.2 Limited Partner Approval Rights. No action shall be taken by the Partnership regarding the matters described in this
Section 6.2 unless written notice of such matter has been provided to the Limited Partners, the Limited Partners have been provided with a reasonable opportunity to consult with the General Partner regarding such matter and thereafter such
matter has been approved in writing by the Required Holders: 
 (a) any act in contravention of this Agreement or any activity materially
inconsistent with the purposes of the Partnership; 
 (b) any act that would, to the General Partner’s knowledge, make it impossible to
carry on the ordinary business of the Partnership; 

  
 14 








 (c) any act that would, to the General Partner’s knowledge, subject any Limited Partner to
personal liability in any jurisdiction for the debts or obligations of the Partnership; 
 (d) filing any petition, or consenting to the
filing of any petition, that would subject the Partnership to a Bankruptcy; or 
 (e) distributions by the Partnership, except to the extent

 6.3 Participation by Limited Partners. Except as provided otherwise herein or as
specifically provided for under the non-waivable provisions of the Act or any applicable law, no Limited Partner, in its capacity as a Limited Partner, shall participate in the management of the business and affairs of the Partnership. No Limited
Partner, in its capacity as a Limited Partner, shall have any right or power to sign for or to bind the Partnership in any manner or for any purpose whatsoever, or have any rights or powers with respect to the Partnership except those expressly
granted to such Limited Partner by the terms of this Agreement or those conferred upon such Limited Partner by non-waivable provisions of applicable law, and no prior consent or approval of the Limited Partners shall be required in respect of any
act or transaction to be taken by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. 

6.4 Meetings of Partners. Meetings of the Partners for the purpose of taking any action permitted to be taken by the Partners may be
called by the General Partner, or by Limited Partners entitled to cast not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Percentage Interests. Upon request in writing from one or more Limited Partners (entitled to cast the requisite
percentage of votes) that a meeting of Partners be called for any proper purpose, the General Partner forthwith shall cause notice to be given to the Limited Partners entitled to vote that a meeting will be held at a time requested by the person or
persons calling the meeting, not less than five (5) nor more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request. Except in special cases where other express provision is made by statute, written notice of such meetings shall be given
to each Limited Partner entitled to vote not less than five (5) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting. Such notices shall state: 

(a) either the place of such meeting or that such meeting is telephonic and the date and hour of the meeting; and 

(b) those matters that the General Partner or the applicable Limited Partners, at the time of the mailing of the notice, intend to present for
action by the Partners. 
 6.5 Place of Meetings. All meetings of the Partners shall be held at any place within or outside of the

Partner or those Limited Partners entitled to call a meeting of the Partners may request that any such meeting be held by telephonic conference call. 

  
 15 








 6.6 Quorum and Voting. 

(a) The presence at any meeting in person (including by telephone, if applicable) or by proxy of Partners holding not less than a majority of
the total Percentage Interests entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of Partners. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the Partners, the
Partners entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or
represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty
days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Partner entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. The Partners present at a duly called or held
meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Partners to leave less than a quorum. 

(b) When a quorum is present at any meeting of the Partners, the vote of the Required Holders shall decide any question brought before such
meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of the Act, of the Certificate or of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.2 hereof), a different vote is required, in which case such express provision
shall govern and control the decision of such question. 
 6.7 Waiver of Notice. The actions of any meeting of Partners, however
called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as if taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present in person (including by telephone, if applicable) or by proxy, and if, either before or after the
meeting, each Partner entitled to vote, present in person (including by telephone, if applicable) or by proxy, signs (including by facsimile) a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes
thereof. All such waivers shall be filed with the Partnership’s records and made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a Partner at a meeting (including by telephone, if applicable) shall also constitute a waiver of
notice of and presence at such meeting, except when the Partner objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a
waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required to be included in the notice but not so included, if such objection is expressly made at the meeting. 

6.8 Action by Partners Without a Meeting. Any action, which under any provision of the Act or the Certificate or this Agreement that
may be taken at a meeting of the Partners or any specified class of Partners, may be taken without a meeting, and without notice except as hereinafter set forth, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the Partners
or the specified class of Partners, as the case may be, otherwise having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Partners or specified class of Partners entitled to
vote thereon were present and voted. All such consents shall be maintained in the Partnership’s records. The General Partner shall provide written notice to each Partner of every action validly taken, but not unanimously approved, by
written consent pursuant to this Section 6.8. 

  
 16 








 6.9 Filing of Schedules, Reports, Etc. Each Partner agrees to reasonably cooperate with
the Partnership in the filing of any schedule, report, certificate or other instrument required to be filed by the Partnership under the laws of the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof or any foreign nation or political
subdivision thereof. In connection therewith, each Partner agrees to reasonably provide the Partnership with all information required to complete such filings. 

6.10 Removal of General Partner. Except as expressly permitted by the Act, the General Partner may not be removed. 

6.11 Class C Units. 
 (a)
Eclipse Resources from time to time prior to the Effective Date issued to certain key employees of the Eclipse Resources, Class C Units entitling such persons to distributions of profits of the Eclipse Resources in accordance with the terms of the
Eclipse Resources Partnership Agreement. 
 (b) In connection with a grant of Class C Units to key employees, Eclipse Resources and the key
employees executed their respective Class C Unit Grant Agreements. 
 (c) As more particularly described in Article III, pursuant to an
Internal Restructure of Eclipse Resources, the holders of Class C Units contributed their Class C Units to the Partnership in exchange for their Interests in the Partnership. Each holder of an Interest issued in exchange for a Class C Unit subject
to a Class C Unit Grant Agreement acknowledges that the Class C Units held by the Partnership remain subject to the terms of the Class C Unit Grant Agreement and that any forfeiture by the Partnership of all or any portion of the Class C Units
contributed by a Partner will adjust the Partner’s Sharing Ratios. The Interests owned by the Limited Partners shall be considered a non-voting security and shall not entitle the holders thereof to have any voting rights with respect to any
Partnership matter (except as expressly set forth herein). Partners holding Interests shall be subject in all respects to this Agreement, including provisions relating to the Disposition of such Partnership Interests, information rights with respect
to the Partnership, and competition and confidentiality. 
 (d) The Class C Units were issued in consideration of services rendered and to be
rendered by the holders for the benefit of Eclipse Resources. Class C Units at the time of their grant were intended to constitute “profits interests” as that term is used in Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43. Each Limited Partner who
holds Interests agrees to continue to provide to the Partnership and Eclipse Resources such advice, consultation, and other services as the Partnership may reasonably request. 

(e) Nothing in the Agreement shall prohibit a holder of an Interest received in connection with the contribution of Class C Units from filing
an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Interests and the Partner and the Partnership each agree not to take any actions inconsistent with any such election. Each holder of an Interest agrees and acknowledges that such
holder shall consult with such holder’s tax adviser to determine the tax consequences of filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code. Each such holder acknowledges that it is the holder’s sole responsibility, rather than the
Partnership’s, to determine whether to file an election under Section 83(b) of the Code. If a holder files an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Interest received, the holder agrees to provide the Partnership
with a copy of such election contemporaneously with the holder’s filing of such election. 

  
 17 








 (f) For purposes of this Agreement, the General Partner will keep records which track the
Specific Class C Units, the Outstanding Class C Units, the Vested Portion, the Unvested Portion, the Applicable Unit Proceeds, the Sharing Ratio and the Percentage Interest for each Limited Partner (whether such items are expressed as Class C Units,
Derivative Securities, cash or otherwise). The determination of all such amounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error on the part of the General Partner. 

ARTICLE VII 
 EXPENSES AND FEES

 7.1 Operating Expenses. The General Partner shall not bear or otherwise be charged with any costs or expenses of the
Partnership’s activities and operations, all of which shall be borne by or otherwise charged to the Partnership, including all activities and operations prior to the date of this Agreement, and including, without limitation: (i) all costs
and expenses incurred in acquiring, managing, disposing of or otherwise dealing with the Class C Units or otherwise incurred in connection with the Internal Restructure, including, without limitation, any investment banking, travel, legal and
accounting expenses, and any fees and out-of-pocket costs related thereto; (ii) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the drafting, negotiation and execution of this Agreement or the Contribution Agreements, or the offering
contemplated hereby or thereby; (iii) all costs and expenses, if any, incurred in monitoring the Partnership’s investment in the Class C Units, including, without limitation, any travel, legal and accounting expenses and other fees and

with respect to the Partnership and its activities, including the preparation and auditing of financial reports and statements and other similar matters, and costs associated with the distribution of financial and other reports to the Partners and
costs associated with Partnership meetings; (vii) brokerage commissions and other investment costs incurred by or on behalf of the Partnership and paid to third parties; (viii) all costs and expenses associated with obtaining and
maintaining insurance for the Partnership and its assets and director and officer liability insurance to protect the General Partner and its respective officers and employees; (ix) fees incurred in connection with the maintenance of bank or
custodian accounts; (x) all expenses incurred in connection with the registration (or exemption from registration) of the Partnership’s securities under applicable securities laws or regulations; and (xi) all expenses of the
Partnership that are not normally recurring operating expenses (all such expenses, collectively, the “Operating Expenses”). To the extent that any Operating Expenses are paid by the General Partner, such Operating Expenses shall be
reimbursed by the Partnership. 
 7.2 Organizational Expenses. The Partnership shall bear and be charged with all costs and expenses
pertaining to the organization of the Partnership, including, without limitation, legal, tax reporting and accounting expenses (collectively the “Organizational Expenses”).

 ARTICLE VIII 

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION 

8.1 Exculpation and Indemnification. 

(a) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NONE OF THE GENERAL PARTNER, ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS,
MEMBERS, PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “COVERED PERSONS”) SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE PARTNERSHIP OR THE LIMITED PARTNERS FOR MONETARY DAMAGES FOR ANY LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES
(“DAMAGES”) ARISING FROM ANY ACT OR OMISSION PERFORMED OR OMITTED BY SUCH COVERED PERSONS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PARTNERSHIP’S BUSINESS OR AFFAIRS OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE TO WHICH SUCH COVERED
PERSON MAY BECOME SUBJECT TO IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PARTNERSHIP’S BUSINESS AFFAIRS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE ESTABLISHED BY A COURT ORDER OF FINAL
ADJUDICATION TO BE PRIMARILY ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH COVERED PERSON. 
 (b) (i) If a Covered
Person becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business or affairs, the Partnership shall reimburse such
Covered Person for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) as they are incurred in connection therewith; provided that such Covered Person shall provide the Partnership with an undertaking to
promptly repay to the Partnership the amount of any such reimbursed expenses paid to it if it shall ultimately be determined by a court order of final adjudication that such Covered Person was not entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership in
connection with such action, proceeding or investigation. If for any reason (other than by reason of the exclusions from indemnification set forth above) the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to such Covered Person, or insufficient to hold it
harmless, then the Partnership shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Covered Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership on the one hand and such Covered Person on the other hand or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also any
other relevant equitable considerations. 
 (ii) The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement or the dissolution of the Partnership for any reason. 
 (c) No Limited Partner shall have any obligation to the Partnership
or any other Partner to bring or join in any action against any Covered Person pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or (b) hereof. Nothing contained in this Section 8.1 shall be construed as any waiver of insurance claims or recoveries by the
Partnership or any Covered Person. 

  
 19 








 (d) Each Partner covenants for itself, its successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives that such Person will, at any time prior to or after the dissolution of the Partnership, on demand, whether before or after such Person’s withdrawal from the Partnership, pay to the Partnership or the General Partner any amount
which the Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be, pays in respect of taxes (including withholding taxes) imposed upon income of or distributions to such Partner, to the extent that such amounts have not been withheld from amounts
otherwise distributable to such Partner. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the Partnership
and each Partner (except the under this Section 8.1, respectively, shall: 
 (i) be in addition to any liability which
the Partnership or such Partner may otherwise have; and 
 (ii) inure to the benefit of the Covered Persons, and any
successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of such Covered Persons. 
 (f) The General Partner may cause the Partnership to
purchase, at the Partnership’s expense, insurance to insure the Covered Persons against liability hereunder. 
 (g) Each Limited Partner
hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership and the General Partner from and against any and all Indemnified Losses caused by or arising from the acts or omissions of such Limited Partner. 

8.2 Exclusive Jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Partners hereby agrees that any claim,
action or proceeding by such Partner seeking any relief whatsoever against any Covered Person based on, arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business or affairs shall be brought only in the state or federal
courts sitting in Wilmington, Delaware and not in any other court.

some of its rights or obligations hereunder) may be made without the prior written consent of the Partnership (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the General Partner). Further, no Transfer of all or any portion of a
Partner’s Interest may be made to the extent that such Transfer would (i) result in the Partnership being subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, (ii) result in the taxation of the Partnership at the entity level,
(iii) result in the Partnership’s assets being deemed “plan assets” for the purposes of Section 4975 of the Code or ERISA or (iv) have a material adverse effect for tax purposes on any other Partner (as determined by
the General Partner in its reasonable discretion), unless such Transfer is consented to by such adversely-effected Partner. 
 (b) No
Transfer shall relieve the transferor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or its Contribution Agreement without the prior written consent of the Partnership (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the General
Partner). 

  
 21 








 (c) Each Partner shall be liable to the other Partners if a Transfer of any of the interests in
the entity or entities of which such Partner is composed, including, but not limited to, any Transfer of economic or beneficial interest resulting from any reorganization or restructuring of the entity or entities of which such Partner is composed,
(i) results in the Partnership being subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, (ii) results in the taxation of the Partnership at the entity level, (iii) results in the Partnership’s assets being deemed “plan
assets” for the purposes of Section 4975 of the Code or ERISA or (iii) violates any provision of this Agreement. 
 (d) It is
acknowledged that the Eclipse Resources Partnership Agreement includes numerous restrictions on the transferability of the Class C Units (including, without limitation, Section 9.1(c) thereof). It is contemplated that, concurrently with the
execution of the initial Contribution Agreements, Eclipse Resources will consent to the contribution of the Class C Units to the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Limited Partners will be subject to any
additional restrictions on their right to transfer all or any portion of their Interest that are imposed by the General Partner from time to time (and no attempted Transfer in violation thereof will be a Permitted Transfer). 

10.2 Expenses of Transfer; Indemnification. All expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the General Partner
or the Partnership in connection with any Transfer shall be fully borne, jointly and severally, by the transferring Partner and such Partner’s transferee. In addition, such transferring Partner and such transferee shall indemnify the
Partnership and the General Partner in a manner satisfactory to the General Partner, in its sole discretion, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Partnership or the General Partner may become subject arising out
of or based upon any false representation or warranty made by, or breach or failure to comply with any covenant or agreement of, such transferring Partner or such transferee in connection with such Transfer. 

10.3 Recognition of Transfer. 

(a) The Partnership shall not recognize for any purpose any purported Transfer of any Interest (including some or all of its rights or
obligations hereunder) and no Transferee of any Interest shall be admitted as a Limited Partner hereunder unless: 
 (i) the
applicable provisions of this Agreement shall have been complied with; 
 (ii) the Partnership shall have been furnished with
the documents effecting such Transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner, executed and acknowledged by both transferor and the transferee; 

(iii) such Transfer shall have been made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and all necessary governmental
consents shall have been obtained and requirements satisfied; 
 (iv) the books and records of the Partnership shall have
been changed by the General Partner to reflect the admission of such transferee; and 

  
 22 








 (v) such Transfer will not cause a termination of the Partnership for Federal
income tax purposes. 
 (b) Each transferee, as a condition to the Partnership’s recognition of such Transfer, shall execute and
acknowledge such instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner, as the General Partner may deem necessary or desirable in its sole discretion to effectuate such Transfer and to confirm the agreement of such
transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to any rights and/or obligations represented by the Interest acquired by such transferee. The recognition of any Transfer shall not require the approval of any
other Partner. 
 10.4 Effect of Transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Act to the contrary, to the
fullest extent possible pursuant to applicable law, upon the Transfer by a Partner of all of such Partner’s Interest such former Partner shall have no further right as a Partner under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right to
vote on any matter regarding the Partnership and the Partnership may act without any consent, approval or vote theretofore required to be obtained from such Partner (provided, however, that the Partnership shall still be required to obtain any
required consent, approval or vote from the remaining Partners). Upon a Transfer by a Limited Partner of all or any portion of its Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the transferee shall be admitted as a substitute Limited
Partner effective as of the time of the Transfer, upon its compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. In the case of a Transfer of only a portion of a Limited Partner’s Interest, the transferor and transferee will allocate the
Specific Class C Units that will be attributable to both of them following such Transfer. 
 10.5 Preemptive Rights. No Limited
Partner will have any pre-emptive rights to purchase any Interests to be issued by the Partnership. 
 ARTICLE XI 

DISSOLUTION 
 11.1 Events of
Dissolution. 
 (a) The Partnership shall be dissolved upon the first to occur of: 

(i) at the General Partner’s election, the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Partnership and the collection of the proceeds therefrom; 
 (ii) the removal of the General Partner or the occurrence of any
other event that causes the General Partner to cease to be the general partner of the Partnership under the Act, unless the Partnership is continued without dissolution in accordance with the Act; 

(iii) at any time there are no limited partners of the Partnership, unless the Partnership is continued without dissolution in
accordance with the Act; and 
 (iv) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution. 

  
 23 








 (b) Following the dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall liquidate the assets
of the Partnership (or, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, distribute such assets in kind to the Partners) as promptly as shall be practicable and in a commercially reasonable manner. The proceeds of such liquidation shall be applied in
the following order of priority: 
 (i) first, to the satisfaction (whether by payment or the reasonable provision for
payment) of debts and liabilities of the Partnership, including the establishment of any reserves that the General Partner may deem reasonably necessary to satisfy any contingent liabilities of the Partnership, and the satisfaction of the costs and
expenses of the dissolution and liquidation; and 
 (ii) then, to the Partners in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof.

 11.2 Cancellation of Certificate. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership and the completion of the winding up of the Partnership,
the Person acting as liquidating trustee shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate and shall take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to terminate the Partnership. Except as set forth in Section 11.4 or as otherwise
specifically provided for in this Agreement, upon cancellation of the Certificate in accordance with the Act, the Partnership and this Agreement shall terminate. 

11.3 Compliance With Timing Requirements of Regulations. If the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of
Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(g) of the Regulations, distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article. In the sole discretion of the General Partner, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the General Partner
and the Limited Partners pursuant to the preceding sentence may be: 
 (a) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General
Partner and the Limited Partners for the purposes of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the General Partner arising out of or in
connection with the Partnership; provided that the assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the General Partner and the Limited Partners from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner, in the same proportions as the
amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the General Partner and the Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement; or 

(b) withheld to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any
installment obligations owed to the Partnership; provided that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner and the Limited Partners as soon as practicable. 

11.4 Termination. Upon the cancellation of the Certificate of the Partnership in accordance with the Act, this Agreement shall
terminate other than Sections 8.1 and 14.12 hereof, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the dissolution of the Partnership for any reason.

other Partners from any costs, including attorneys’ fees, and liability arising from the claim of any broker, agent or finder employed or retained by such Limited Partner in connection with the Partnership or this Agreement.

represents, warrants and, as applicable, covenants to the General Partner and the Partnership, that he is not now nor shall be at any time during the term of this Agreement a person with whom a U.S. person, including a Financial Institution, is
prohibited from transacting business of the type contemplated by this Agreement, whether such prohibition arises under U.S. law, regulation, executive orders and lists published by the federal Office of Foreign Asset Control
(“OFAC”) (including those executive orders and lists published by OFAC with respect to Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, both as designated by OFAC) or otherwise. 

12.3 Compliance with Other Laws.

the Partnership that he (1) is not under investigation by any governmental authority for, or has been charged with, or convicted of, money laundering, drug trafficking, terrorist-related activities, any crimes which in the United States would
be predicate crimes to money laundering, or any violation of any Anti-Money Laundering Laws; (2) has not been assessed civil or criminal penalties under any Anti-Money Laundering Laws; and (3) has not had any of his funds seized or
forfeited in any action under any Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

 ARTICLE I. 

TAX DEFINITIONS 

Section 1.1 Definitions. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Limited Partnership
Agreement of Eclipse Management, L.P. dated as of May     , 2014 (the “Agreement”) to which this Exhibit is attached, or as follows: 

(a) Adjusted Capital Account Deficit 

“Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Partner, the deficit balance, if any, in such Partner’s Capital
Account as of the end of the relevant Allocation Year, after giving effect to the following adjustments: 
 (i) Credit to such Capital
Account any amounts which such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and 

(ii) Debit from such Capital Account the items described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), and
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6). 

  
 Exhibit B - Page 1 








 The foregoing definition of “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” is intended to comply
with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
 (b) Allocation Year

 “Allocation Year” means (i) the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2014,
(ii) any subsequent period commencing on January 1 and ending on December 31 or (iii) any portion of the period described in clause (ii) above for which the Partnership is required to allocate Profits, Losses, and other
items of Partnership income, gain, deduction, losses and credits pursuant to Article II. 
 (c) Book Depreciation 

“Book Depreciation” means the depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction (excluding depletion with respect to
Depletable Property) allowable for federal income tax purposes to the Partnership for any Allocation Year with respect to any Partnership property except as calculated as set forth below (and to the extent applicable in a manner consistent with
section 1.704-3(d)(2) of the Regulations). To the extent consistent with such Regulations, Book Depreciation with respect to a Partnership property shall be equal to the amount that bears the same proportion to the Book Value of the Partnership
property as of the beginning of such Allocation Year (or the date of acquisition or contribution if the property is acquired or contributed during such Allocation Year) as the depreciation or amortization for federal income tax purposes for such
period bears to the property’s adjusted tax basis as of the beginning of such Allocation Year (or the date of acquisition if the property is acquired during such Allocation Year). If the property’s adjusted tax basis is equal to zero, the
amount of “Book Depreciation” allowable to the Partnership for any Allocation Year with respect to the Partnership property in question shall be determined under method selected by the General Partner. 

(d) Book Liability Value 

“Book Liability Value” means with respect to any liability of the Partnership described in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.752-7(b)(3)(i), the amount of cash that a willing assignor would pay to a willing assignee to assume such liability in an arm’s length transaction. The Book Liability Value of each liability of the Partnership described in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-7(b)(3)(i) shall be adjusted at such times as provided in this Agreement for an adjustment to Book Values; provided that such adjustments shall be made only if the General Partner reasonably determines that
such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Partners in the Partnership. 
 (e) Book/Tax
Disparity Property 
 “Book/Tax Disparity Property” shall mean any Partnership property that has a Gross Asset Value, which is
different from its adjusted tax basis to the Partnership. Thus, any property (other than cash) that is contributed to the capital of the Partnership by a Partner shall be a Book/Tax Disparity Property if its initial Gross Asset Value is not equal to
the Partnership’s initial tax basis in the property. In addition, once the Gross Asset Value of a Partnership property is adjusted to an amount other than is adjusted tax basis, the property shall thereafter be a “Book/Tax Disparity
Property”. 

  
 Exhibit B – Page 2









 (f) Gross Asset Value 

“Gross Asset Value” means, with respect to any asset, the asset’s adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, except as
follows: 
 (i) the Gross Asset Value of all Partnership assets shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values as
reasonably determined by the General Partner upon (a) the acquisition of additional Partnership interests by a new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis capital contribution; (b) the distribution by the Partnership to
a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of Partnership assets in redemption of Partnership interests; (c) the date of the grant of a Partnership interest (other than a de minimis Partnership interest) as consideration for the provision of
services to or for the benefit of the Partnership by an existing Partner acting in a Partner capacity, or by a new Partner acting in a Partner capacity or in anticipation of becoming a Partner; or (d) the liquidation of the Partnership within
the meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) of the Regulations; provided, however, that the adjustments pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) above shall be made only if determined to be necessary by the General Partner; 

(ii) the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset distributed to any Partner shall be adjusted to equal the gross fair market value of such
asset on the date of distribution as agreed by the General Partner and the distributee Partner; 
 (iii) the Gross Asset Values of
Partnership assets will be increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted basis of such assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into account
in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m); provided, however, that Gross Asset Values will not be adjusted pursuant to this clause (iv) to the extent that an adjustment pursuant to the foregoing
clause (i) is made in connection with a transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant to this clause (iii); 
 (iv)
if the Gross Asset Value of a Partnership asset has been determined or adjusted pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) above or (v) below, such Gross Asset Value shall be adjusted each Allocation Year by the Book Depreciation with respect
to such asset taken into account for purposes of computing Profits or Losses for such year; and 
 (v) the initial Gross Asset Value of any
property contributed by a Partner to the Partnership shall be the fair market value as of the date of the contribution as determined by the General Partner; provided, however, that in connection with contributions described in Section 3.1 of
the Agreement of the Class C Units, the Gross Asset Value shall be equal to the capital account balance attributable to the contributed Class C Units at the time of its contribution.

(j) Partially Adjusted Capital Account 

“Partially Adjusted Capital Account” means, with respect to each Allocation Year and with respect to each Partner during such year,
the Capital Account balance of such Partner at the beginning of such year, adjusted for all contributions and distributions during such year and all special allocations pursuant to Section 2.1(a) through (g) made to such Partner for such
year, but before giving effect to any allocations of Profits or Losses (or items thereof) for such year pursuant to Section 2.1(h). 

(k) Partner Nonrecourse Minimum Gain 

“Partner Nonrecourse Minimum Gain” of the Partnership shall mean the amount of “minimum gain” of the Partnership that is
attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt (as determined strictly in accordance with sections 1.704-2(i)(3) and 1.704-2(k)(5) of the Regulations). A Partner’s share of such “Partner Nonrecourse Minimum Gain” shall be calculated in
accordance with the provisions of section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations. 
 (l) Partner Nonrecourse Debt 

“Partner Nonrecourse Debt” shall mean any Partnership liability that is treated as “partner nonrecourse debt” under
section 1.704-2(b)(4) of the Regulations.

 “Profits or Losses” means, for each Allocation Year, an amount equal to the Partnership’s taxable income or loss for such
year, determined in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Code (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a) of the Code shall be included in taxable income or
loss), with the following adjustments:

into account in computing Profits or Losses pursuant to this definition shall be added to such income or loss; 

  
 Exhibit B – Page 4









 (ii) the computation of all items of loss and deduction shall be made without regard to the fact
that items described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code or pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes; 

(iii) any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Partnership property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis
of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Gross Asset Value with respect to such property as of such date; 

(iv) in lieu of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions (excluding depletion with respect to Depletable Properties) taken
into account in computing taxable income or loss, there will be taken into account Book Depreciation for such year; 
 (v) if the Gross Asset
Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted under clause (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, the amount of such adjustment will be taken into account as gain or loss from disposition of the asset for purposes of computing Profits or
Losses; 
 (vi) In the event the Book Liability Value of any liability of the Partnership described in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.752-7(b)(3)(i) is adjusted as required by this Agreement, the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of loss (if the adjustment increases the Book Liability Value of such liability of the Partnership) or an item of gain
(if the adjustment decreases the Book Liability Value of such liability of the Partnership) and such items, and any other items relating to Book Liability Values determined by the General Partner to be appropriate in determining Capital Accounts,

liquidation of a Partner’s interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or an item of loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) from the
disposition of such asset and shall be taken into account for purposes of computing Profits or Losses; and 
 (viii) any items which are
specially allocated pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1(a) through (g) shall not be taken into account in computing Profits or Losses. 

(o) Target Capital Account 

“Target Capital Account” means, with respect to each Allocation Year and with respect to each Partner during such year, the amount
(which may be either a positive or a deficit balance) equal to the difference between (i) the amount of the hypothetical distribution (if any) that such Partner would receive if, on the last day of such year, (x) all Partnership assets,
including cash, were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Value, taking into account any adjustments thereto for such year, (y) all Partnership liabilities were satisfied in cash according to their terms (limited, with respect to each

ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES 

Section 2.1 Allocation Of Book Items. Before the allocations of Profits or Losses (or items thereof) pursuant to
Section 2.1(h), the following special allocations shall be made in the following order: 
 (a) Pursuant to section 1.704-2(f) of the
Regulations (relating to minimum gain chargebacks), if there is a net decrease in Nonrecourse Minimum Gain of the Partnership for the Allocation Year (or if there was a net decrease in Nonrecourse Minimum Gain for a prior Allocation Year and the
Partnership did not have sufficient amounts of income or gain during the Allocation Year to allocate to the Partners under this Section 2.1(a)), then items of Partnership income or gain shall be allocated, before any other allocation is made
pursuant to the succeeding provisions of this Section 2.1 for such year, to each Partner in proportion to, and to the extent of, the total net decrease in such Partner’s share of the Nonrecourse Minimum Gain (determined and adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of section 1.704-2(g) of the Regulations). 
 As provided in section 1.704-2(j) of the Regulations, income of
the Partnership allocated for any Allocation Year under this Section 2.1(a) shall consist first of a pro rata portion of gain recognized from the disposition of Partnership property subject to a Nonrecourse Liability and discharge of
indebtedness income relating to the Nonrecourse Liability to which the Property is subject, with any remaining allocated income deemed to be made up of a pro rata portion of the Partnership’s other items of income and items of gain for such
year (provided that gain from the disposition of property which is subject to Partner Nonrecourse Debt and discharge of indebtedness income relating to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which the Property is subject shall be allocated under this
Section 2.1(a) only to the extent not allocated under Section 2.1(b) hereof). 

  
 Exhibit B – Page 6









 (b) Pursuant to section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations (relating to partner nonrecourse minimum
gain chargebacks), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Minimum Gain of the Partnership for such taxable year or other period (or if there was a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Minimum Gain for a prior taxable year or other period
and the Partnership did not have sufficient amounts of income during prior taxable year or other period to allocate to the Partners under this Section 2.1(b)), then items of Partnership income and gain shall be allocated, before any other
allocation is made pursuant to the succeeding provisions of this Section 2.1 for such taxable year, to the Partners with shares of such minimum gain as of the first day of such taxable year or other period in proportion to, and to the extent
of, such Partner’s share of the net decrease in such minimum gain all as provided under section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations. 
 As
provided in section 1.704-2(j) of the Regulations, income of the Partnership allocated for any taxable year or other period under this Section 2.1(b) shall consist first of a pro rata portion of gain recognized from the disposition of
Partnership property subject to Partner Nonrecourse Debt and discharge of indebtedness income relating to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which the Property is subject, with any remaining allocated income deemed to be made up of a pro rata portion
of the Partnership’s other items of income and other items of gain for such year (provided that items of gain from the disposition of property which is subject to a Nonrecourse Liability and discharge of indebtedness income relating to the
Nonrecourse Liability to which the Property is subject shall be allocated under this Section 2.1(b) only to the extent not allocated under Section 2.1(a) hereof). 

(c) The General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to prevent any allocation from causing or increasing an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit. Consistent therewith and pursuant to section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations (relating to “qualified income offsets”), all Partnership income shall be allocated, after giving tentative effect to all other allocations to be
made pursuant to this Section 2.1 for the Allocation Year, proportionately among the Partners with Adjusted Capital Accounts Deficit (as determined after giving tentative effect to all other adjustments attributable to the allocations provided
for in this Section 2.1) in amounts and the manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit balances as quickly as possible. As provided in section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations, Partnership income allocated hereunder for the Allocation
Year shall consist of a pro rata portion of each item of income for, and of gain occurring during, such year. 
 (d) In the event any Partner
has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Allocation Year that is in excess of the amount such Partner is obligated to restore under this Agreement or pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and
1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income or gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) shall be made only if and to the
extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account balance in excess of such amount after all other allocations provided in this Section 2.1 have been made as if Section 2.1(c) and this Section 2.1(d) were not contained in
this Agreement 
 (e) Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Allocation Year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the
economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(1). 

  
 Exhibit B – Page 7









 (f) For any Allocation Year, all Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated among the Partners in
proportion to their respective Distribution Percentages for such Allocation Year. As provided in section 1.704-2(j) of the Regulations, Nonrecourse Deductions allocated hereunder for any Allocation Year shall consist first of Book Depreciation with
respect to property which is subject to Nonrecourse Liability for such year with any remaining Nonrecourse Deductions deemed to be made up of a pro rata portion of the Partnership’s other deductions or losses for such year (provided that Book
Depreciation with respect to property which is subject to Partner Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated under this Section 2.1(f) only to the extent not allocated under Section 2.1(e) hereof). 

(g) (i) To the extent any adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code or
Section 743(b) of the Code is required pursuant to section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the
adjustment increased the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss will be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to
be adjusted pursuant to such Regulations Section. 
 (ii) Simulated Depletion for each Depletable Property and Simulated Loss upon the
Disposition of a Depletable Property shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their shares of the Simulated Basis in such property. 

(h) (i) For each Allocation Year, after giving effect to Sections 2.1(a) through (g), the rules set forth below in this Section 2.1(h)
shall apply for the purpose of determining each Partner’s allocable share of the items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Partnership comprising Profits and Losses of the Partnership for such year and determining special allocations of
other items of income, gain, loss and deductions set forth below. 
 (ii) The items of income, gain, deduction and loss of the Partnership
comprising Profits or Losses for an Allocation Year shall be allocated among the persons who were Partners during such year in a manner that will reduce, proportionately, the differences between their respective Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts
and Target Capital Accounts for such year. No portion of the Losses for any Allocation Year shall be allocated to a Partner whose Target Capital Account is greater than or equal to its Partially Adjusted Capital Account for such year. No portion of
the Profits for any Allocation Year shall be allocated to any Partner whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than or equal to its Target Capital Account for such year. 

(iii) Determination of Items Comprising Allocations. 

(X) If the Partnership has a Profits for an Allocation Year, then, (A) for any Partner whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account balance
needs to be decreased pursuant to Section 2.1(h)(ii), the allocations required by Section 2.1(h)(ii) shall be comprised of a proportionate share (based on the relative amounts by which their Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts need to
reduced) of each of the Partnership’s items of deduction or loss entering into the computation of Profits for such year to the extent necessary to eliminate, to the maximum extent possible for such year, the differential between their
respective Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts and Target Capital Accounts, and (B) the allocations made pursuant to Section 2.1(h)(ii) in respect of each other Partner not described in the foregoing Section 2.1(h)(iii)(X)
(A) shall be comprised of a proportionate share (based upon the relative amounts by which their Partially Adjusted Capital 

  
 Exhibit B – Page 8









 
Accounts need to be adjusted) of each Partnership item of income, gain, deduction and loss entering into the computation of Profits for such year (other than the portion of each Partnership item
of deduction and loss, if any, allocated pursuant to Section 2.1(h)(iii)(X)(A) hereof). 
 (Y) If the Partnership has Losses for an
Allocation Year, then, (A) for any Partner whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account balance needs to be increased pursuant to Section 2.1(h)(ii) hereof, the allocations required by Section 2.1(h) shall be comprised of a proportionate
share (based on the relative amounts by which their Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts need to be increased) of each of the Partnership’s items of income or gain entering into the computation of Losses for such year to the extent necessary to
eliminate, to the maximum extent possible for such year, the difference between their respective Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts and Target Capital Accounts, and (B) the allocations made pursuant to Section 2.1(h)(ii) in respect of
each other Partner not described in the foregoing Section 2.1(h)(iii)(Y) (A) shall be comprised of a proportionate share (based upon the relative amounts by which their Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts need to be adjusted) of each
Partnership item of income, gain, deduction and loss entering into the computation of Losses, for such year (other than the portion of Partnership items of income or gain, if any, that is allocated pursuant to Section 2.1(h)(iii)(Y)
(A) above. 
 (Z) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(h), the amount of Losses or items of Partnership
deduction and loss allocated pursuant to this Section 2.1(h) to any Partner shall not exceed the maximum amount of the Losses or such items that can be so allocated without causing such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the
end of any Allocation Year. All Losses or such items in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 2.1(h)(iii)(Z) shall be allocated first to Partners who would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, pro rata in proportion to
their Capital Account balances as adjusted in accordance with subdivisions (i) and (ii) of the definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, until no Partner would be entitled to any further allocation, and thereafter to all Partners in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(3) of the Regulations. 
 Section 2.2 Allocation Of Tax Items. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.2 hereof, each Tax Item shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as
each correlative item of “book” income, gain, deduction or loss is allocated pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1 hereof. 

(b) The Partners hereby acknowledge that all Tax Items in respect of Book/Tax Disparity Property are required to be allocated among the
Partners in the same manner as under section 704(c) of the Code (as specified in sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) of the Regulations) and that the principles of section 704(c) of the Code require that such Tax Items must be
shared among the Partners so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis and Gross Asset Value of each such Book/Tax Disparity Property. Thus, notwithstanding anything in Sections 2.1 or 2.2(a) hereof to the contrary, the
Partners’ distributive shares of Tax Items in respect of each Book/Tax Disparity Property shall be separately determined and allocated among the Partners in accordance with the principles of section 704(c) of the Code. Any elections or
decisions relating to allocations under this Section 2.2(b) will be made by the General Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, any tax items attributable to Book/Tax Disparity Property owned by Eclipse Resources shall be allocated among the
Partners that takes into account the Partner’s remaining share of built-in gain or built-in loss in accordance with the rules of Section 1.704-3(b)(9) of the Regulations. 

  
 Exhibit B – Page 9









 (c) For purposes of determining the nature (as ordinary or capital) of any item of income, gain
or Profits among the Partners for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the portion of such profit required to be recognized as ordinary income pursuant to sections 1245 and/or 1250 of the Code shall be deemed to be
allocated among the Partners in the manner provided in Section 1.1245-1(e) or Section 1.1250-(f), as applicable. 
 (d) Subject to
the other provisions of this Section 2.2, “Tax Gain” shall mean the excess of (i) the amount realized by the Partnership in connection with the disposition of any Partnership property (as determined under section 1001 of the
Code) over the (ii) adjusted tax basis of such property at the time of disposition. 
 (e) “Excess nonrecourse liabilities” of
the Partnership, within the meaning of section 1.752-3(a)(3), shall be allocated first among the Partners in proportion to and to the extent of the amount of built-in gain that is allocable to each Partner with respect to property under
Section 704(c) of the Code (or reverse Section 704(c) allocations (as such term is defined in Section 1.704-3 of the Regulations) to the extent such gain exceeds the gain described in Section 1.752-3(a)(2) of the Regulations with
respect to the property and then among the Partners in proportion to their respective Distribution Percentages for the Allocation Year. For this purpose, and in accordance with Section 1.752-4(a) of the Regulations, the liabilities of Eclipse
Resources allocated to the Partnership shall be treated as liabilities of the Partnership for purposes of allocating the liabilities among the Partners. 

(f) All tax credits shall be allocated among the Partners as determined by the General Partner, consistent with applicable laws. 

(g) Partners shall be bound by the provisions of this Article II in reporting their distributive shares of Partnership items of increase, gain,
deduction, loss and credit. 
 (h) Cost and percentage depletion deductions with respect to property the production from which is subject to
depletion (herein sometimes called “Depletable Property”) shall be computed separately by the Partners rather than the Partnership. For purposes of such computations, the federal income tax basis of each Depletable Property shall be
allocated to each Partner in accordance with such Partner’s Capital Interest Percentage as of the time such Depletable Property is acquired by the Partnership, and shall be reallocated among the Partners in accordance with the Partners’
Capital Interest Percentages as determined immediately following the occurrence of an event giving rise to an adjustment to the Book Values of the Partnership’s Depletable Properties pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Book Value
(or at the time of any material additions to the federal income tax basis of such Depletable Property); provided however, that the federal income tax basis of each Depletable Property owned by Eclipse Resources at the time of the contribution of the
Class C Units to the Partnership pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be allocated among the Partners in the same amount and manner that the federal income tax basis was allocated to such Partner immediately prior to the contribution of that
Partner’s Class C Units, and for the avoidance of doubt, no reallocation of federal income tax basis of Depletable Property shall be required in connection with the contribution of the Class C Units to the Partnership pursuant to
Section 3.1 of the Agreement. Such allocations are intended to be applied in accordance with the “partners’ interests in partnership capital” under Section 613A(c)(7)(D) of the Code; provided that the Partners understand and
agree that the General Partner may authorize special allocations of tax basis, income, gain, deduction or loss, as computed for federal income tax purposes, in order to eliminate differences between Simulated

Basis and adjusted federal income tax basis with respect to Depletable Properties, in such manner as determined consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code, the Treasury
Regulations thereunder and the portions of the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code that apply the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code. 

(i) For purposes of the separate computation of gain or loss by each Partner on the taxable Disposition of Depletable Property, the amount
realized from such Disposition shall be allocated (i) first, to the Partners in an amount equal to the Simulated Basis in such Depletable Property and in the same proportion as their shares thereof were allocated and (ii) second, any
remaining amount realized over the amount of Simulated Basis shall be allocated consistent with the allocation of Simulated Gains under Section 2.2(a), above; provided, however, that the Partners understand and agree that the General Partner
may authorize special allocations of tax basis, income, gain, deduction or loss, as computed for federal income tax purposes, in order to eliminate differences between Simulated Basis and adjusted federal income tax basis with respect to Depletable
Properties, in such manner as determined consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and the portions of the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code that apply the
principles of Section 704(c) of the Code. The provisions of this Section 2.2(i) and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to allocations under Section 613A(c)(7)(D) of the Code are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(v) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. 
 (j) Each Partner
shall separately keep records of its share of the adjusted tax basis in each Depletable Property, adjust such share of the adjusted tax basis for any cost or percentage depletion allowable with respect to such property and use such adjusted tax
basis in the computation of its cost depletion or in the computation of its gain or loss on the disposition of such property by the Partnership. Upon the request of the Partnership, each Partner shall within thirty (30) days of a written
request by the Partnership advise the Partnership of its adjusted tax basis in each Depletable Property and any depletion computed with respect thereto, both as computed in accordance with the provisions of this subsection. The Partnership may rely
on such information and, if it is not provided by the Partner, may make such reasonable assumptions as it shall determine with respect thereto. 

Section 2.3 Allocations Of Profits And Losses And Distributions In Respect Of Partnership Interests Transferred. If any
Partnership Interest is Transferred, or is increased or decreased by reason of the admission of a new Partner or otherwise, during any taxable year, each Partner’s distributive share of Profits or Losses and each item of income, gain, deduction
or loss shall be determined by use of any method reasonably determined by the General Partner and permitted under Section 706(d) of the Code to account for the varying interests of the Partners. 

ARTICLE III. 
 OTHER TAX
MATTERS 
 Section 3.1 Tax Elections. 

(a) For tax purposes, the Partnership shall elect to use the calendar year as its taxable year and to report income and loss under the accrual
method of accounting. 

  
 Exhibit B – Page 11









 (b) For tax purposes, the Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses incurred in organizing the
Partnership ratably over a one hundred eighty (180) month period as provided in section 709 of the Code. 
 (c) For tax purposes, the
Partnership shall elect to treat all start-up expenditures as deferred expenses and to deduct such expenses over a one hundred eighty (180) month period as provided in section 195 of the Code. 

(d) For Federal income tax purposes, the Partnership shall compute depreciation under section 168 of the Code with respect to its items of real
property which are “recovery property” within the meaning of such section and for this purpose shall utilize the straight-line method. 

(e) In connection with any Transfer or other assignment of a Partnership Interest permitted by the terms and provisions of this Agreement or in
connection with the distribution of any Partnership property to a Partner, the General Partner shall, at the written request of the transferor, transferee or other successor or distributee, cause the Partnership at the time and in the manner
provided in section 1.754-1(b) of the Regulations (or any like statute or regulation then in effect), to make an election to adjust the basis of the Partnership’s property in the manner provided in sections 734(b) and 743(b) of the Code (or any
like statute or regulation then in effect). 
 (f) It is intended that the Partnership be classified as a partnership for Federal income tax
purposes. Accordingly, neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall file any election pursuant to sections 761 or 7701 of the Code or section 301.7701-3 of the Regulations or otherwise, the effect of which would cause the Partnership not to be
treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. 
 (g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Exhibit B, any other
tax election or methods of accounting shall be made as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion. 
 Section 3.2 Tax
Matters Partner. 
 (a) The General Partner is hereby designated the Tax Matters Partner of the Partnership pursuant to section 6231
(a)(7)(A) of the Code and shall have the power and authority specified in Sections 6221-6234 of the Code (and any comparable provisions of state or local law) in respect of any tax proceeding involving Partnership Tax Items. 

(b) The Tax Matters Partner may, at the expense of the Partnership, retain accountants, lawyers, and other professionals to participate in the
audit or judicial proceedings. 
 (c) The Tax Matters Partner may enter into any extension of the period of limitations for making
assessments. 
 (d) No Partner shall file, pursuant to section 6227 of the Code, a request for an administrative adjustment of items for any
Partnership taxable year. 
 (e) Any Partner intending to file a petition under sections 6226, 6228 or other section of the Code with respect
to any item or other matter involving the Partnership shall notify the other Partners of such intention and the nature of the contemplated proceeding. If any Partner intends to seek review of court decision rendered as a result of a proceeding
instituted under the preceding provisions of Section 3.2, then such Partner shall notify the other Partners of such intended action. 

  
 Exhibit B – Page 12









 (f) The Tax Matters Partner may enter into a settlement agreement with respect to any Partnership
items (within the meaning of section 6231(a)(3) of the Code). 
 (g) All expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Partner with respect to any tax
matter that does or may affect the Partnership, or any Partner by reason thereof, including but not limited to expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with the preparation of Partnership tax returns and Partnership level
administrative or judicial tax proceedings, shall be paid for out of Partnership assets and shall be treated as Partnership expenses. The cost of any adjustments to any Partner and the cost of any resulting audits or adjustments with respect to such
Partner will be borne solely by such Partner without reimbursement by the Partnership. 
 (h) The provisions of this Section 3.2 shall
survive the termination of the Partnership or the termination of any Partner’s Partnership Interest and shall remain binding on the Partners for a period of time necessary to resolve with the IRS or the United States Department of the Treasury
any and all matters regarding the United States Federal income taxation of the Partnership.

Partnership Items. No Limited Partner shall file a notice of inconsistent treatment under section 6222(b) of the Code with respect to the treatment of Partnership items.
