 Exhibit 10.1 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of September 4, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), is
entered into by and among Atlas Energy Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), Atlas Resource Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ARP”), and Edward E. Cohen (the
“Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Executive previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Energy, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership and predecessor of the Company (the “Predecessor”), pursuant to that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of May 13, 2011 (the “Prior Agreement”), by and between the Predecessor and the
Executive; 
 WHEREAS, in connection with the separation and distribution of the Company from the Predecessor, and the Executive ceasing to
provide services to the Predecessor, the Prior Agreement terminated, effective as of the effective time of such distribution; and 

WHEREAS, the Company, ARP, and the Executive now wish to set forth in this Agreement the terms and conditions under which the Executive will
be employed by the Company and, through such employment, provide services to ARP. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be
legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Employment. The Company agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby
accepts such employment and agrees to perform the Executive’s duties and responsibilities, in accordance with the terms, conditions, and provisions hereinafter set forth. 

1.1 Period of Employment. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date, and shall continue for three years following the
Effective Date, unless terminated sooner in accordance with Section 2. The term of this Agreement shall automatically renew daily so that, at all times, it shall be for a three-year term. The period commencing on the Effective Date and ending
on the date on which the term of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate is hereinafter referred to as the “Period of Employment.” 

1.2 Duties and Responsibilities. During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer (the
“Position”). The Executive shall perform all duties and accept all responsibilities incident to the Position as may be reasonably assigned to him by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), including
performing such services for ARP as may be reasonably assigned to him by the Board. The Executive agrees to use his best efforts to carry out his duties and responsibilities hereunder and, consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement, to
devote such business time, attention, and energy thereto as is reasonably necessary to carry out those duties and responsibilities. It is recognized that the Executive in the past has invested and participated, and it is agreed that the Executive in
the future may invest and participate, in business and non-business endeavors separate and apart from the Company and ARP, in his discretion, provided that such endeavors do not prevent the Executive from materially performing his duties
under this Agreement. 

 1.3 Compensation. For all the services rendered by the Executive hereunder, the Company
shall pay the Executive an annual base salary (“Base Salary”) at the annual rate of $350,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices. The Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed periodically
for appropriate increases by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) pursuant to its normal performance review policies for senior level executives, but such Base Salary shall not be decreased at any
time. The Executive may receive cash and non-cash bonus compensation in such amounts as the Board or Compensation Committee may approve in its sole discretion or under the terms of any incentive plan of the Company maintained for its senior level
executives. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in any short-term and long-term incentive programs (including, without limitation, any stock option, restricted unit, and similar plans) established by the Company for its senior level
executives generally, at levels commensurate with the benefits provided to other senior executives and with adjustments appropriate for the Position. 

1.4 Welfare Plans; Perquisites; Paid Time Off. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee welfare benefit plans and
programs or executive perquisites made available to the Company’s senior level executives as a group or to its employees generally, as such welfare plans or perquisites may be in effect from time to time and subject to the eligibility
requirements of the plans. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from amending or terminating any welfare or other employee benefit plans or programs from time to time as the Company deems appropriate. The Executive shall be provided
with reimbursement of reasonable expenses related to the Executive’s employment by the Company on a basis no less favorable than that which may be authorized from time to time for senior level executives as a group, and shall be entitled to
vacation and sick leave in accordance with the Company’s vacation, holiday, and other pay for time not worked policies. In addition, the Company shall maintain during the Period of Employment a term life insurance policy on the Executive’s
life that provides a death benefit of $3 million to one or more beneficiaries designated by the Executive, provided that such policy can be obtained at standard rates. Ownership of such life insurance policy (including responsibility to
make premium payments) shall be transferred to the Executive upon his termination at his request, if and as allowed by the applicable insurance company. 

1.5 Excess 401(k) Plan. The Company shall maintain the Company’s Excess 401(k) Plan (the “Excess Plan”) and
related rabbi trust during the Period of Employment, which Excess Plan shall (a) permit participants to defer up to 10% of their total annual cash compensation and (b) provide for a matching contribution by the Company on a
dollar-for-dollar basis (i.e., 100% of the participant’s deferral), subject to a maximum matching contribution equal to 50% of the participant’s base salary for any calendar year. Any deferral and corresponding matching contribution shall
be fully vested as and when such deferral and contribution occurs. 

  
 2 

 2. Termination. The Executive’s employment shall terminate upon the occurrence of any
of the following events: 
 2.1 Termination without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason. 

(a) The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause (as defined in Section 4) upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Executive; provided, however, that, following the delivery of such notice to the Executive, the Executive shall be under no obligation to render any additional services to
the Company, and the Company may require the Executive to cease performing services for the Company. In addition, the Executive may initiate a termination of employment by resigning under this Section 2.1 for Good Reason (as defined in
Section 4); provided, however, that the Company shall be given the opportunity to cure in accordance with Section 4(d). The Executive shall give the Company not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of such
resignation. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(c), upon any removal or resignation described in Section 2.1(a), the
Executive shall be entitled to receive only the Accrued Obligations through the date of termination. No other payments or benefits shall be due under this Agreement to the Executive, but the Executive shall be entitled to any benefits accrued and
earned in accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.1(b), in the event that the Executive executes a written release upon such removal or resignation, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”), of claims against the Company and
related parties with respect to all matters arising out of the Executive’s employment by the Company, or the termination thereof (subject to the exceptions set forth in the Release), which Release must be executed by the Executive, returned to
the Company and the period within which the Executive may revoke the Release expired no later than 60 days following the date of termination, the Executive shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the payments and benefits described in
Section 2.1(b), the following: 
 (i) A lump sum cash severance payment, without discount, in an amount equal to the
product of (A) three and (B) the Annual Compensation (as defined in Section 4). Subject to Section 18, payment shall be made (x) within 15 days after the Release has been returned to the Company and the period within
which the Executive may revoke it has expired or, (y) if, and only if, it is agreed by both the Executive and the Company at the time of termination that such payment constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), on the 75th day following the date of termination. 

(ii) A prorated annual bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, the amount of which shall
be no less than the amount of the cash incentive compensation awarded in respect of the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, if any, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days in such current fiscal year prior to such termination and the denominator of which is 365, payable in cash in a lump sum within 15 days after the Release has been returned to the Company and the period within which the Executive may
revoke it has expired (a “Pro Rata Bonus”). 

  
 3 

 (iii) For a period of 36 months following the date of termination,
continuation of the group term life and health insurance in effect at the date of the Executive’s termination (or generally comparable coverage) for himself and, where applicable, his spouse and dependents (without giving effect to any
reduction in such benefits subsequent to a Change in Control (as defined in the Company’s 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan as in effect on the Effective Date)), as the same may be changed from time to time for employees generally, as if the
Executive had continued in employment during such period; or, as an alternative, where such coverage may not be continued (or where such continuation would adversely affect the tax status of the plan pursuant to which the coverage is provided or
result in penalty taxes to the Executive pursuant to Section 409A of the Code), the Company may elect to pay the Executive cash in lieu of such coverage in an amount equal to (A) as to health insurance, the product of 36 multiplied by the
Company’s monthly COBRA rate in effect immediately prior to the date of termination in respect of the type of coverage applicable to the Executive at that time and (B) as to life insurance, the premiums that would be paid by the Company
during the three-year period following the date of termination had the Executive’s employment continued during such period, which amount shall be paid in 36 monthly installments following the date of termination. The COBRA health care
continuation coverage period under Section 4980B of the Code shall run concurrently with the foregoing 36-month benefit period. 
 2.2
Resignation without Good Reason. 
 (a) The Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment without Good Reason upon
120 days’ prior written notice to the Company. If the Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to receive only any Accrued Obligations through the date of termination. 

(b) If the Executive terminates his employment under this Section 2.2, he shall be entitled to any benefits accrued and earned in
accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. 
 2.3 Disability. The Company may terminate
the Executive’s employment if the Executive has been unable to perform the material duties of his employment for a period of 180 days in any twelve month period because of physical or mental injury or illness which constitutes a disability
for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Disability”); provided, however, that the Company shall continue to pay the Executive’s Base Salary until the Company acts to terminate the Executive’s
employment. The Executive agrees, in the event of a dispute under this Section 2.3 relating to the Executive’s Disability, to submit to a physical examination by a licensed physician jointly selected by the Board and the Executive. Upon
such a termination, the Executive shall receive a Pro Rata Bonus and the benefits described in Section 2.1(c)(iii). Additionally, the Executive shall receive any amounts payable to him under the Company’s long-term disability plan. The
Executive shall also be entitled to the Accrued Obligations and any benefits accrued and earned in accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. 

  
 4 

 2.4 Death. If the Executive dies while employed by the Company, the Company shall pay to
the Executive’s executor, legal representative, administrator, or designated beneficiary, as applicable, the Accrued Obligations and any benefits accrued and earned under the Company’s benefit plans and programs. Otherwise, the Company
shall have no further liability or obligation under this Agreement to the Executive’s executors, legal representatives, administrators, heirs, or assigns or any other person claiming under or through the Executive, other than the payment of a
Pro Rata Bonus. 
 2.5 Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for Cause upon written notice to
the Executive, in which event all payments under this Agreement shall cease, except for Base Salary to the extent already accrued. The Executive shall be entitled to any benefits accrued and earned before his termination in accordance with the terms
of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. 
 2.6 Vesting of Stock-Based Compensation. Upon any termination of this
Agreement for any reason other than (a) a termination by the Company for Cause, or (b) a voluntary termination by the Executive without Good Reason, the vesting of all restricted stock-based compensation shares, units, and/or options of
the Company or any affiliate of the Company (including, without limitation, ARP) granted to the Executive during his employment with the Company shall be accelerated to the later of the effective date of termination of this Agreement or six months
after the date such shares, units, and/or options were granted, and any provision contained in the agreements under which they were granted that is inconsistent with such acceleration is hereby modified to the extent necessary to provide for such
acceleration; such acceleration shall not apply to any share, unit, and/or option that by its terms would vest prior to the date provided for in this Section 2.6. 

2.7 Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment shall be communicated by a written notice of termination
to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 10. The notice of termination shall (a) indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (b) briefly summarize the facts and circumstances deemed to
provide a basis for a termination of employment and the applicable provision hereof, and (c) specify the termination date in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. 

3. Golden Parachute Excise Tax Modified Cutback. 

3.1 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if a nationally recognized accounting firm as shall be designated by the
Company with the Executive’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) (the “Accounting Firm”) shall determine that receipt of all payments or distributions by the Company or its affiliates in the nature of
compensation to or for the Executive’s benefit, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would subject the Executive to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the Accounting
Firm shall determine whether to reduce any of the Payments paid or payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of this Agreement (the “Agreement Payments”) to the Reduced Amount (as defined below). The Agreement Payments shall be

  
 5 

 
reduced to the Reduced Amount only if (a) the Accounting Firm determines that the Executive would have a greater Net After-Tax Receipt (as defined below) of aggregate Payments if the
Executive’s Agreement Payments were reduced to the Reduced Amount and (b) the Executive does not elect to waive any such reduction prior to the consummation of the transaction that would give rise to such excise tax. If the Accounting Firm
determines that the Executive would not have a greater Net After-Tax Receipt of aggregate Payments if the Executive’s Agreement Payments were so reduced, the Executive shall receive all Agreement Payments to which the Executive is entitled
under this Agreement. 
 3.2 If the Accounting Firm determines that aggregate Agreement Payments should be reduced to the Reduced Amount,
the Company shall promptly give the Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this Section 3 shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive absent
manifest error, and shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than 15 days following the applicable date of termination. For purposes of reducing the Agreement Payments to the Reduced Amount, only amounts payable
under this Agreement (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. 

3.3 As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the
Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of The Executive pursuant to this Agreement which should not have been so paid or distributed
(“Overpayment”) or that additional amounts which will have not been paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement could have been so paid or distributed
(“Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against either the
Company or the Executive that the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success, determines that an Overpayment has been made, the Executive shall pay any such Overpayment to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal
rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Executive to the Company if and to the extent such payment would not either reduce the amount on which the Executive is
subject to tax under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred,
any such Underpayment shall be paid promptly (and in no event later than 60 days following the date on which the Underpayment is determined) by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive together with interest at the applicable federal
rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. 
 3.4 For purposes hereof, (a) “Reduced Amount” shall mean
the greatest amount of Agreement Payments that can be paid that would not result in the imposition of the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code if the Accounting Firm determines to reduce Agreement Payments pursuant to Section 3.1, and
(b) “Net After-Tax Receipt” shall mean the present value (as determined in accordance with Sections 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) and 280G(d)(4) of the Code) of a Payment, net of all taxes imposed on the Executive with respect thereto
under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Code and under applicable state and local laws, determined by     

  
 6 

 
applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws that applied to the Executive’s taxable income for the immediately preceding taxable year,
or such other rate(s) as the Accounting Firm determined to be likely to apply to the Executive in the relevant tax year(s). 
 3.5 To the
extent requested by the Executive, the Company shall cooperate with the Executive in good faith in valuing, and the Accounting Firm shall take into account the value of, services provided or to be provided by the Executive (including without
limitation, the Executive’s agreeing to refrain from performing services pursuant to a covenant not to compete or similar covenant) before, on, or after the date of a change in ownership or control of the Company (within the meaning of
Q&A-2(b) of the final regulations under Section 280G of the Code), such that payments in respect of such services may be considered reasonable compensation within the meaning of Q&A-9 and Q&A-40 to Q&A-44 of the final
regulations under Section 280G of the Code and/or exempt from the definition of the term “parachute payment” within the meaning of Q&A-2(a) of the final regulations under Section 280G of the Code in accordance with
Q&A-5(a) of the final regulations under Section 280G of the Code. 
 4. Certain Definitions. 

(a) “Accrued Obligations” shall mean (i) any portion of the Base Salary that has been earned through the date of
termination but not paid to the Executive as of the date of termination; and (ii) any accrued but unpaid cash incentive compensation earned for any year prior to the year in which the date of termination occurs and, to the extent required to be

(b) “Annual Compensation” shall mean the sum of (i) the annualized Base Salary, plus (ii) the Applicable Bonus.

 (c) “Applicable Bonus” shall mean (i) if the date of termination occurs after all the cash incentive compensation

three fiscal years preceding the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, (ii) if the date of termination occurs after all the cash incentive compensation in respect of fiscal year 2016 has been paid (or after the time such
compensation in respect of 2016 would have been paid in the ordinary course, if none shall be paid), the average of the Executive’s Incentive Compensation in respect of fiscal year 2016 and 2015 and the Incentive Compensation from the
Predecessor in respect of fiscal year 2014, (iii) if the date of termination occurs after all the cash incentive compensation in respect of fiscal year 2015 has been paid (or after the time such compensation in respect of 2015 would
have been paid in the ordinary course, if none shall be paid), the average of the Executive’s Incentive Compensation in respect of fiscal year 2015 and the Incentive Compensation from the Predecessor in respect of fiscal year 2014,
and (iv) if the date of termination occurs before all the cash incentive compensation in respect of fiscal year 2015 has been paid (or before the time such compensation in respect of 2015 would have been paid in the ordinary course, if
none shall be paid), the Executive’s Incentive Compensation from the Predecessor in respect of fiscal year 2014.

Executive’s employment: 
 (i) The Executive shall have been convicted of a felony, or any crime involving fraud or
embezzlement; 
 (ii) The Executive intentionally and continually fails to substantially perform his reasonably assigned
material duties to the Company (other than a failure resulting from the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), which failure has been materially and demonstrably detrimental to the Company and has continued for a period of
at least 30 days after a written notice of demand for substantial performance, signed by a majority of the independent members of the Board, has been delivered to the Executive specifying the manner in which the Executive has failed
substantially to perform; or 
 (iii) The Executive is determined, through the processes set forth in Section 9, to
have materially breached Section 5. 
 (e) “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events or
conditions, unless the Executive has expressly consented in writing thereto or unless the event is remedied by the Company within 30 days after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive, which notice must be given, if at all, no later
than 90 days following the occurrence of the applicable event: 
 (i) a material reduction in the Executive’s Base
Salary (which shall be in violation of this Agreement); 
 (ii) a demotion of the Executive from the Position; 

(iii) a material reduction of the Executive’s duties hereunder; provided that the Executive and the Company

 5. Restrictive Covenants. The Executive agrees and acknowledges that his employment is
full, adequate, and sufficient consideration for the restrictions and obligations set forth in those provisions. 
 5.1 Developments.
The Executive shall disclose fully, promptly and in writing, to the Company any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements, modifications, and other intellectual property rights, whether patentable or not, which the Executive has conceived, made,
or developed, solely or jointly with others, while employed by the Company and which (a) relate to the business, work, or activities of the Company or (b) result from or are suggested by the carrying out of the Executive’s duties
hereunder or from or by any information that the Executive may receive as an employee of the Company. The Executive hereby assigns, transfers, and conveys to the Company all of the Executive’s right, title, and interest in and to any and all
such inventions, discoveries, improvements, modifications, and other intellectual property rights and agrees to take all such actions as may be requested by the Company at any time and with respect to any such invention, discovery, improvement,
modification, or other intellectual property rights to confirm or evidence such assignment, transfer, and conveyance. Furthermore, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of the Company, the Executive shall execute and deliver to the
Company, any and all instruments, documents, and papers, give evidence and do any and all other acts that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, are or may be necessary or desirable to document such assignment, transfer, and conveyance or to
enable the Company to file and prosecute applications for and to acquire, maintain, and enforce any and all patents, trademark registrations, or copyrights under United States or foreign law with respect to any such inventions, discoveries,
improvements, modifications, or other intellectual property rights or to obtain any extension, validation, reissue, continuance, or renewal of any such patent, trademark, or copyright. The Company shall be responsible for the preparation of any such
instruments, documents, and papers and for the prosecution of any such proceedings and shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.1. 

5.2 Confidentiality. 

(a) The Executive acknowledges that, by reason of the Executive’s employment by the Company, the Executive will have access to
confidential information of the Company, including, without limitation, information and knowledge pertaining to products, inventions, discoveries, improvements, innovations, designs, ideas, trade secrets, proprietary information, manufacturing,
packaging, advertising, distribution and sales methods, sales and profit figures, customer and client lists and relationships between the Company and dealers, distributors, sales representatives, wholesalers, customers, clients, suppliers, and
others who have business dealings with them (“Confidential Information”). The Executive acknowledges that such Confidential Information is a valuable and unique asset of the Company and covenants that, both during and after the
Period of Employment, the Executive will not disclose any Confidential Information to any person (except as the Executive’s duties as an officer of the Company may require or as required by law or in a judicial or administrative proceeding)
without the prior written authorization of the Board. The obligation of confidentiality imposed by this Section 5.2 shall not apply to information that becomes generally known to the public through no act of the Executive in breach of this
Agreement. 

  
 9 

 (b) The Executive acknowledges that all documents, files, and other materials received from the
Company during the Period of Employment (with the exception of documents relating to the Executive’s compensation or benefits to which the Executive is entitled following the Period of Employment) are for use of the Executive solely in
discharging the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder and that the Executive has no claim or right to the continued use or possession of such documents, files, or other materials following termination of the Executive’s
employment by the Company. The Executive agrees that, upon termination of employment, the Executive will not retain any such documents, files, or other materials and will promptly return to the Company any documents, files, or other materials in the
Executive’s possession or custody. 
 5.3 Noncompetition. The Executive agrees that, if the Company terminates the
Executive’s employment with Cause or the Executive resigns the Executive’s employment without Good Reason, then during the period commencing on the date on which the Executive’s employment terminates and ending on the first
anniversary of such date, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the Restricted Area (as defined below) engage or participate, alone or as a partner, joint venturer, officer, director, member, employee, consultant, agent, or
owner, in a Restricted Activity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude, prohibit, or restrict the Executive from acquiring, owning, or holding (a) 5% or less of the outstanding interests in or securities of any
publicly traded corporation or (b) any interests in or securities of any entity (or being a partner, joint venturer, officer, director, member, employee, consultant, agent, or owner, of any other entity) that derived 10% or less of its total
annual revenues in its most recent fiscal year from activities that constitute Restricted Activities in the Restricted Area. It is understood and agreed that interests in or securities of any entity acquired or held by a pension fund or any other
benefit plan of the Executive shall not be subject to any limitation hereunder and shall not be considered a violation of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Restricted Area” means the United States; and
(ii) “Restricted Activity” means a business engaged in the exploration, development, production, processing, storing, transportation, refinement, purification, marketing, and/or distribution of natural gas, crude oil, and
natural gas liquids, or a business engaged (to any extent) in investing in or financing any of the foregoing. 
 5.4 Nonsolicitation.
The Executive agrees that, if the Company terminates the Executive’s employment with Cause or the Executive resigns the Executive’s employment without Good Reason, then during the period commencing on the date on which the Executive’s
employment terminates and ending on the second anniversary of such date (the “Nonsolicitation Period”), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the Restricted Area, (a) solicit for employment or hire or
employ any individual who is, employed by the Company or its affiliates on the date on which the Nonsolicitation Period commences; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing shall not restrict any general solicitations of
employment, whether through public advertisements, search firms, or otherwise, that are not specifically directed at such employees and hiring persons as a result of such general solicitations and (ii) the Executive shall not be prohibited from
soliciting, hiring, employing, or otherwise engaging any such individual whose employment with the Company and its affiliates has been terminated or hiring, employing, or otherwise engaging any individual who approaches the Executive for employment
without any solicitation by the Executive; or (b) cause, solicit, or knowingly encourage any material client, customer, vendor, supplier, or licensor of the Company or its affiliates as of the date on which the Nonsolicitation Period commences
to cease doing business with the Company or its affiliates. 

  
 10 

 5.5 Covenants Generally. The Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may
limit his ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company, but the Executive nevertheless believes that he has received and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits as an employee of the Company and
as otherwise provided hereunder to clearly justify such restrictions which, in any event (given his education, skills, and ability), the Executive does not believe would prevent him from otherwise earning a living. The Executive has carefully
considered the nature and extent of the restrictions place upon him by this Section 5, and hereby acknowledges and agrees that the same are reasonable in time and territory and do not confer a benefit upon the Company disproportionate to the
detriment of the Executive. 
 5.6 Equitable Relief. The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 5.1,
5.2, 5.3, and 5.4 are, in view of the nature of the business of the Company, reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation of any provision of those Sections will result in irreparable injury to
the Company. The Executive also acknowledges that in the event of any such violation, the Company shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond, and to an
equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from any such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled. The Executive agrees that in
the event of any such violation, an action may be commenced for any such preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable relief in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Pennsylvania or in any other court of
competent jurisdiction. The Executive hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the Executive may now or hereafter have to such jurisdiction or to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding
brought in such a court and any claim that such suit, action, or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Executive agrees that effective service of process may be made upon the Executive by mail under the notice provisions
contained in Section 5. 
 5.7 Interpretation. For purposes of this Section 5, references to “the Company” shall
mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any of its affiliated companies. 
 6. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this
Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in or rights under any benefit, bonus, incentive, or other plan or program provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify; provided,
however, that if the Executive becomes entitled to and receives the payments provided for in Sections 2.1(b) or 2.1(c) of this Agreement, the Executive hereby waives the Executive’s right to receive payments under any severance plan
or similar program applicable to all employees of the Company. 
 7. Survivorship. The respective rights and obligations of the
parties under this Agreement shall survive any termination of the Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations. 

  
 11 

 8. Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
or benefit provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and there shall be no offset against amounts due the Executive under this Agreement on account of any remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that the
Executive may obtain. 
 9. Arbitration; Expenses; Damages. In the event of any dispute under the provisions of this Agreement, other
than a dispute in which the primary relief sought is an equitable remedy such as an injunction, the parties shall be required to have the dispute, controversy, or claim settled by arbitration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in accordance with the
National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, before a panel of three arbitrators, two of whom shall be selected by the Company and the Executive, respectively, and the third of whom
shall be selected by the other two arbitrators. Any award entered by the arbitrators shall be final, binding, and nonappealable and judgment may be entered thereon by either party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent
jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall be specifically enforceable. The parties hereby agree that upon any termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder (a) by Company without Cause or (b) by the Executive with Good
Reason, as long as the Executive has executed the Release, if required, then the Company shall pay all amounts due to the Executive hereunder on or prior to the deadline for such payments (it being agreed that TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE) without offset
or reduction, and failure to do so shall result in one hundred percent (100%) of the withheld amount (in addition to the actual amount owed to the Executive and his reasonable costs of collection) being due to the Executive as liquidated
damages. The Company hereby agrees that it shall be estopped from asserting that such damages are excessive or constitute a penalty, and that the Executive has reasonably relied upon such estoppel. If Company determines it has such an offset or
basis for reduction, it shall notify the Executive of such determination, in writing, as soon as reasonably possible and in any event on or prior to the deadline for making such payment. The Company shall make the full payment, but the Executive
shall be obligated to return any portion of such payment that is determined, pursuant to the arbitration set forth in this Section 9, to have been subject to legitimate offset or deduction. 

10. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement or necessary or convenient in connection
herewith shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when hand delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, as follows (provided that notice of change of address shall be deemed given only when received):

 11. Contents of Agreement; Amendment
and Assignment. 
 11.1 This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes in its entirety any and all prior agreements, understandings, or representations relating to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement). This Agreement cannot be changed, modified, extended,
or terminated except upon written amendment approved by the Board and executed on its behalf by a duly authorized officer and by the Executive. 

11.2 All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective
heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto, except that the duties and responsibilities of the Executive under this Agreement are of a personal nature and shall not be assignable or
delegatable in whole or in part by the Executive. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the
Company, within 15 days of such succession, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or application thereof to anyone or under any circumstances is adjudicated to be
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or application of this Agreement that can be given effect without the invalid or unenforceable provision or application, and shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision or application in any other jurisdiction. If any provision is held void, invalid, or unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect
in all other circumstances. 
 13. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No remedy conferred upon a party by this Agreement is intended to
be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission by a party in
exercising any right, remedy, or power under this Agreement or existing at law or in equity shall be construed as a waiver thereof, and any such right, remedy, or power may be exercised by such party from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient or necessary by such party in its sole discretion. 
 14. Beneficiaries/References. The Executive shall be entitled, to the
extent permitted under any applicable law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable under this Agreement following the Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In
the event of the Executive’s death or a judicial determination of the Executive’s incompetence, reference in this Agreement to the Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to the Executive’s beneficiary, estate, or other
legal representative. 

  
 13 

 15. Miscellaneous. All section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument. 

16. Withholding. All payments under this Agreement shall be made subject to applicable tax withholding, and the Company shall withhold
from any payments under this Agreement all federal, state, and local taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any law or governmental rule or regulation. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Executive
shall bear all expense of, and be solely responsible for, all federal, state, and local taxes due with respect to any payment received under this Agreement. 

17. Indemnification/Insurance. 

17.1 If the Executive is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee (which term includes officer, director, agent, and any other capacity) of the Company or is or was serving at the
request of the Company as an employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is an alleged action
in an official capacity as an employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as an employee or agent, the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by applicable law, against all
expense, liability, and loss (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection therewith and
such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive after he has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Executive’s heir, executors, and administrators; provided, however,
that the Company shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the Executive (other than a proceeding to enforce this Section 17) only if such proceeding (or part thereof)
was authorized directly or indirectly by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 17 shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be, promptly upon request, paid by the Company the expenses incurred in
defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition subject to, if and only if required by the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the Executive, to repay all amounts so
advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 17.1 or otherwise. 

17.2 The indemnification provided by this Section 17 shall not be limited or exclude any rights, indemnities, or limitations of liability
to which the Executive may be entitled, whether as a matter of law, under the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company, by agreement, vote of the unitholders, or disinterested directors of the Company or otherwise. 

  
 14 

 17.3 The Executive, in seeking indemnification under this Agreement (the
“Indemnitee”), shall give the other party or parties (the “Indemnitor”) prompt written notice of any claim, suit, or demand that the Indemnitee believes will give rise to indemnification under this Agreement;
provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the liability of the Indemnitor under this Agreement unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely affects the ability of the Indemnitor to
defend itself against or to cure or mitigate the damages. Except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnitor shall have the right (without prejudice to the right of the Indemnitee to participate at its expense through counsel of its own choosing) to
defend and to direct the defense against any such claim, suit, or demand, at the Indemnitor’s expense and with counsel chosen jointly by Indemnitor and Indemnitee, and the right to settle or compromise any such claim, suit, or demand;
provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not, without the Indemnitee’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any claim or consent to any entry of judgment. The Indemnitee shall, at the
Indemnitor’s expense, cooperate in the defense of any such claim, suit, or demand. If the Indemnitor, within a reasonable time after notice of a claim fails to defend the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to undertake the defense,
compromise, or settlement of such claim at the expense of and for the account and risk of the Indemnitor. 
 17.4 The Executive shall be
covered during the entire term of this Agreement and thereafter by Officer and Director liability insurance in amounts and on terms similar to that afforded to other executives and/or directors of the Company or its affiliates, which such insurance
shall be paid by the Company. 
 18. Section 409A. 

18.1 This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and its corresponding regulations, or an exemption, and payments
may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable. Any payments that qualify for the “short-term deferral”
exception or another exception under Section 409A of the Code shall be paid under the applicable exception. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if required by Section 409A of the Code, if the Executive is considered
a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and if payment of any amounts under this Agreement is required to be delayed for a period of six months after separation from service pursuant to Section 409A of the
Code, payment of such amounts shall be delayed as required by Section 409A of the Code, and the accumulated amounts shall be paid in a lump sum payment within ten days after the end of the six-month period. If the Executive dies during the
postponement period prior to the payment of benefits, the amounts withheld on account of Section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate within 60 days after the date of the
Executive’s death. 
 18.2 All payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a
“separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.
In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a payment. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A
of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that 

  
 15 

 
(a) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the period of time specified in this Agreement, (b) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits
provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year, (c) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the
calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (d) the right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to
any conflict of laws provisions. 
 20. Payments Allocated to ARP. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, ARP
shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company to the Executive for payments owed to the Executive hereunder to the extent such payments (or portion thereof) would be, if paid by the Company, either (a) paid on behalf of the Partnership
Group (as defined in the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of ARP, dated as of March 12, 2012, as amended (the “ARP Partnership Agreement”)), or (b) be allocable to the Partnership Group, in each case, in
accordance with Section 7.5(b) of the Partnership Agreement (such payments, the “ARP Allocated Payments”). At the Executive’s election, ARP shall directly pay to the Executive any ARP Allocated Payment in lieu of the
Company paying such ARP Allocated Payment, and any such amount that is directly paid by ARP shall not be subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.5(b) of the ARP Partnership Agreement.

 Exhibit A 

Separation Agreement and General Release 

THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE (the “Agreement”) is made as of this      the day of
            , 20    , by and between ATLAS ENERGY GROUP, LLC (the “Company”) and Edward E. Cohen (the “Executive”). 

WHEREAS, the Executive formerly was employed by the Company as the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement,
dated as of September 4, 2015 (the “Employment Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement provides for certain
benefits in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of a reason set forth in the Employment Agreement; 

WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company mutually desire to terminate the Executive’s employment; and 

WHEREAS, in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment, the parties have agreed to a separation package and the
resolution of any and all disputes between them. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by and between the Executive and the Company as
follows: 
 1. The Executive, for and in consideration of the commitments of the Company as set forth in the Employment Agreement, and
intending to be legally bound, does hereby REMISE, RELEASE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, and parents, and its officers, directors, employees, and agents, and its and their respective successors and assigns, heirs,
executors, and administrators (collectively, “Releasees”) from all causes of action, suits, debts, claims, and demands whatsoever at law or in equity (“Claims”), which Claims related to the Executive’s
employment with the Company and which Claims the Executive ever had, now has, or hereafter may have, whether known or unknown, or which his heirs, executors, or administrators may have, by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from the
beginning of his employment to the date of this Agreement. This Agreement is effective without regard to the legal nature of the claims raised and without regard to whether any such claims are based upon tort, equity, implied or express contract, or
discrimination of any sort. The forgoing releases do not apply to the Executive’s and Company’s continuing obligations under the Employment Agreement. 

2. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Executive represents and affirms that (a) he has not filed or caused to be filed on his
behalf any claim for relief against the Company or any Releasee and, to the best of his knowledge and belief, no outstanding claims for relief have been filed or asserted against the Company or any Releasee on his behalf; (b) he has not
reported any improper, unethical, or illegal conduct or activities to any supervisor, manager, department head, human resources representative, agent, or other representative of the Company, to any member of the Company’s legal or compliance
departments, or to the ethics hotline, and has no 

  
 A-1 

 
knowledge of any such improper, unethical, or illegal conduct or activities; and (c) he will not file, commence, prosecute, or participate in any judicial or arbitral action or proceeding
against the Company or any Releasee based upon or arising out of any act, omission, transaction, occurrence, contract, claim, or event existing or occurring on or before the date of this Agreement. 

3. The Executive agrees that he will not file, charge, claim, sue, or cause or permit to be filed, charged, or claimed, any civil action,
suit, or legal proceeding seeking equitable or monetary relief (including damages, injunctive, declaratory, monetary, or other relief) for himself involving any matter released in Sections 1 or 2. In the event that suit is filed in breach of
this covenant not to sue, it is expressly understood and agreed that this covenant shall constitute a complete defense to any such suit. In the event any Releasee is required to institute litigation to enforce the terms of this Section 3, such
Releasee shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in such enforcement. The Executive further agrees and covenants that should any person, organization, or other entity file, charge, claim, sue, or cause or
permit to be filed any civil action, suit, or legal proceeding involving any matter occurring at any time in the past, the Executive will not seek or accept personal equitable or monetary relief in such civil action, suit, or legal proceeding. 

4. The Executive further agrees and recognizes that he has permanently and irrevocably severed his employment relationship with the Company
and that the Company has no obligation to employ him in the future. 
 5. The Executive further agrees that he will not disparage or subvert
the Company, or make any statement reflecting negatively on the Company, its affiliated corporations or entities, or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, or representatives, including, but not limited to, any matters relating to the
operation or management of the Company, the Executive’s employment and the termination of his employment, irrespective of the truthfulness or falsity of such statement. 

6. The Executive understands and agrees that the payments, benefits, and agreements provided in this Agreement and in the Employment Agreement
are being provided to him in consideration for his acceptance and execution of, and in reliance upon his representations in, this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges that, if he had not executed this Agreement containing a release of all claims
against the Company, he would, except as provided otherwise in the Employment Agreement, have been entitled to only the payments provided in the Company’s standard severance pay plan for employees. 

7. The Executive represents that, to the best of his knowledge, he does not presently have in his possession any records and business
documents, whether on computer or hard copy, and other materials (including, but not limited to, computer disks and tapes, computer programs and software, office keys, correspondence, files, customer lists, technical information, customer
information, pricing information, business strategies and plans, sales records, and all copies thereof) (collectively, the “Corporate Records”) provided by the Company and/or its predecessors, subsidiaries, or affiliates or obtained
as a result of his prior employment with the Company and/or its predecessors, subsidiaries, or affiliates, or created by the Executive while employed by or rendering services to the Company and/or its predecessors, subsidiaries, or affiliates. The
Executive acknowledges that, except as provided above, all such Corporate Records are the property of the Company. 

  
 A-2 

 8. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Executive from: (a) making any
disclosure of information required by law; (b) providing information to, or testifying or otherwise assisting in any investigation or proceeding brought by, any federal regulatory or law enforcement agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, or the Company; or (c) filing, testifying, participating in, or otherwise assisting in a proceeding relating to an alleged violation of any federal, state, or municipal law
relating to fraud, or any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any self-regulatory organization. 
 9. The
parties agree and acknowledge that the agreement by the Executive described herein, and the settlement and termination of any asserted or unasserted claims against the Releasees, are not and shall not be construed to be an admission of any violation
of any federal, state, or local statute or regulation, or of any duty owed by any of the Releasees to Executive. 
 10. This Agreement and
the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 

11. The Executive certifies and acknowledges as follows: 

11.1 That he has read the terms of this Agreement, and that he understands its terms and effects, including the fact that he has agreed to
RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the Company and each and every one of its affiliated entities from any legal action arising out of his employment relationship with the Company and the termination of that employment relationship;

until the expiration of such seven-day revocation period. In the event of a timely revocation by Executive, this Agreement will be deemed null and void and the Company will have no obligations hereunder.

 Exhibit 10.2 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of September 4, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), is
entered into by and among Atlas Energy Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), Atlas Resource Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ARP”), and Jonathan Z. Cohen (the
“Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Executive previously served as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of Atlas Energy
GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and general partner of Atlas Energy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and predecessor of the Company (the “Predecessor”), pursuant to that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of
May 13, 2011 (the “Prior Agreement”), by and between the Predecessor and the Executive; 
 WHEREAS, in connection with
the separation and distribution of the Company from the Predecessor, and the Executive ceasing to provide services to the Predecessor, the Prior Agreement terminated, effective as of the effective time of such distribution; and 

WHEREAS, the Company, ARP, and the Executive now wish to set forth in this Agreement the terms and conditions under which the Executive will
be employed by the Company and, through such employment, provide services to ARP. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be
legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Employment. The Company agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby
accepts such employment and agrees to perform the Executive’s duties and responsibilities, in accordance with the terms, conditions, and provisions hereinafter set forth. 

1.1 Period of Employment. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date, and shall continue for three years following the
Effective Date, unless terminated sooner in accordance with Section 2. The term of this Agreement shall automatically renew daily so that, at all times, it shall be for a three-year term. The period commencing on the Effective Date and ending
on the date on which the term of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate is hereinafter referred to as the “Period of Employment.” 

1.2 Duties and Responsibilities. During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall serve as Executive Chairman (the
“Position”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Executive shall perform all duties and accept all responsibilities incident to the Position as may be reasonably assigned to him by the Board,
including performing such services for ARP as may be reasonably assigned to him by the Board. The Executive agrees to use his best efforts to carry out his duties and responsibilities hereunder and, consistent with the other provisions of this
Agreement, to devote such business time, attention, and energy thereto as is reasonably necessary to carry out those duties and responsibilities. It is recognized that the Executive in the past has invested and participated, and it is agreed that
the Executive in the future may invest and participate, in business and non-business endeavors separate and apart from the Company and ARP, in his discretion, provided that such endeavors do not prevent the Executive from materially
performing his duties under this Agreement. 

 1.3 Compensation. For all the services rendered by the Executive hereunder, the Company
shall pay the Executive an annual base salary (“Base Salary”) at the annual rate of $350,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices. The Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed periodically
for appropriate increases by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) pursuant to its normal performance review policies for senior level executives, but such Base Salary shall not be decreased at any
time. The Executive may receive cash and non-cash bonus compensation in such amounts as the Board or Compensation Committee may approve in its sole discretion or under the terms of any incentive plan of the Company maintained for its senior level
executives. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in any short-term and long-term incentive programs (including, without limitation, any stock option, restricted unit, and similar plans) established by the Company for its senior level
executives generally, at levels commensurate with the benefits provided to other senior executives and with adjustments appropriate for the Position. 

1.4 Welfare Plans; Perquisites; Paid Time Off. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee welfare benefit plans and
programs or executive perquisites made available to the Company’s senior level executives as a group or to its employees generally, as such welfare plans or perquisites may be in effect from time to time and subject to the eligibility
requirements of the plans. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from amending or terminating any welfare or other employee benefit plans or programs from time to time as the Company deems appropriate. The Executive shall be provided
with reimbursement of reasonable expenses related to the Executive’s employment by the Company on a basis no less favorable than that which may be authorized from time to time for senior level executives as a group, and shall be entitled to
vacation and sick leave in accordance with the Company’s vacation, holiday, and other pay for time not worked policies. In addition, the Company shall maintain during the Period of Employment a term life insurance policy on the Executive’s
life that provides a death benefit of $3 million to one or more beneficiaries designated by the Executive, provided that such policy can be obtained at standard rates. Ownership of such life insurance policy (including responsibility to
make premium payments) shall be transferred to the Executive upon his termination at his request, if and as allowed by the applicable insurance company. 

1.5 Excess 401(k) Plan. The Company shall maintain the Company’s Excess 401(k) Plan (the “Excess Plan”) and
related rabbi trust during the Period of Employment, which Excess Plan shall (a) permit participants to defer up to 10% of their total annual cash compensation and (b) provide for a matching contribution by the Company on a
dollar-for-dollar basis (i.e., 100% of the participant’s deferral), subject to a maximum matching contribution equal to 50% of the participant’s base salary for any calendar year. Any deferral and corresponding matching contribution shall
be fully vested as and when such deferral and contribution occurs. 

  
 2 

 2. Termination. The Executive’s employment shall terminate upon the occurrence of any
of the following events: 
 2.1 Termination without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason. 

(a) The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause (as defined in Section 4) upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Executive; provided, however, that, following the delivery of such notice to the Executive, the Executive shall be under no obligation to render any additional services to
the Company, and the Company may require the Executive to cease performing services for the Company. In addition, the Executive may initiate a termination of employment by resigning under this Section 2.1 for Good Reason (as defined in
Section 4); provided, however, that the Company shall be given the opportunity to cure in accordance with Section 4(d). The Executive shall give the Company not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of such
resignation. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(c), upon any removal or resignation described in Section 2.1(a), the
Executive shall be entitled to receive only the Accrued Obligations through the date of termination. No other payments or benefits shall be due under this Agreement to the Executive, but the Executive shall be entitled to any benefits accrued and
earned in accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.1(b), in the event that the Executive executes a written release upon such removal or resignation, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”), of claims against the Company and
related parties with respect to all matters arising out of the Executive’s employment by the Company, or the termination thereof (subject to the exceptions set forth in the Release), which Release must be executed by the Executive, returned to
the Company and the period within which the Executive may revoke the Release expired no later than 60 days following the date of termination, the Executive shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the payments and benefits described in
Section 2.1(b), the following: 
 (i) A lump sum cash severance payment, without discount, in an amount equal to the
product of (A) three and (B) the Annual Compensation (as defined in Section 4). Subject to Section 18, payment shall be made (x) within 15 days after the Release has been returned to the Company and the period within
which the Executive may revoke it has expired or, (y) if, and only if, it is agreed by both the Executive and the Company at the time of termination that such payment constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), on the 75th day following the date of termination. 

(ii) A prorated annual bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, the amount of which shall
be no less than the amount of the cash incentive compensation awarded in respect of the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, if any, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days in such current fiscal year prior to such termination and the denominator of which is 365, payable in cash in a lump sum within 15 days after the Release has been returned to the Company and the period within which the Executive may
revoke it has expired (a “Pro Rata Bonus”). 

  
 3 

 (iii) For a period of 36 months following the date of termination,
continuation of the group term life and health insurance in effect at the date of the Executive’s termination (or generally comparable coverage) for himself and, where applicable, his spouse and dependents (without giving effect to any
reduction in such benefits subsequent to a Change in Control (as defined in the Company’s 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan as in effect on the Effective Date)), as the same may be changed from time to time for employees generally, as if the
Executive had continued in employment during such period; or, as an alternative, where such coverage may not be continued (or where such continuation would adversely affect the tax status of the plan pursuant to which the coverage is provided or
result in penalty taxes to the Executive pursuant to Section 409A of the Code), the Company may elect to pay the Executive cash in lieu of such coverage in an amount equal to (A) as to health insurance, the product of 36 multiplied by the
Company’s monthly COBRA rate in effect immediately prior to the date of termination in respect of the type of coverage applicable to the Executive at that time and (B) as to life insurance, the premiums that would be paid by the Company
during the three-year period following the date of termination had the Executive’s employment continued during such period, which amount shall be paid in 36 monthly installments following the date of termination. The COBRA health care
continuation coverage period under Section 4980B of the Code shall run concurrently with the foregoing 36-month benefit period. 
 2.2
Resignation without Good Reason. 
 (a) The Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment without Good Reason upon
120 days’ prior written notice to the Company. If the Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to receive only any Accrued Obligations through the date of termination. 

(b) If the Executive terminates his employment under this Section 2.2, he shall be entitled to any benefits accrued and earned in
accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. 
 2.3 Disability. The Company may terminate
the Executive’s employment if the Executive has been unable to perform the material duties of his employment for a period of 180 days in any twelve month period because of physical or mental injury or illness which constitutes a disability
for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Disability”); provided, however, that the Company shall continue to pay the Executive’s Base Salary until the Company acts to terminate the Executive’s
employment. The Executive agrees, in the event of a dispute under this Section 2.3 relating to the Executive’s Disability, to submit to a physical examination by a licensed physician jointly selected by the Board and the Executive. Upon
such a termination, the Executive shall receive a Pro Rata Bonus and the benefits described in Section 2.1(c)(iii). Additionally, the Executive shall receive any amounts payable to him under the Company’s long-term disability plan. The
Executive shall also be entitled to the Accrued Obligations and any benefits accrued and earned in accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. 

  
 4 

 2.4 Death. If the Executive dies while employed by the Company, the Company shall pay to
the Executive’s executor, legal representative, administrator, or designated beneficiary, as applicable, the Accrued Obligations and any benefits accrued and earned under the Company’s benefit plans and programs. Otherwise, the Company
shall have no further liability or obligation under this Agreement to the Executive’s executors, legal representatives, administrators, heirs, or assigns or any other person claiming under or through the Executive, other than the payment of a
Pro Rata Bonus. 
 2.5 Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for Cause upon written notice to
the Executive, in which event all payments under this Agreement shall cease, except for Base Salary to the extent already accrued. The Executive shall be entitled to any benefits accrued and earned before his termination in accordance with the terms
of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. 
 2.6 Vesting of Stock-Based Compensation. Upon any termination of this
Agreement for any reason other than (a) a termination by the Company for Cause, or (b) a voluntary termination by the Executive without Good Reason, the vesting of all restricted stock-based compensation shares, units, and/or options of
the Company or any affiliate of the Company (including, without limitation, ARP) granted to the Executive during his employment with the Company shall be accelerated to the later of the effective date of termination of this Agreement or six months
after the date such shares, units, and/or options were granted, and any provision contained in the agreements under which they were granted that is inconsistent with such acceleration is hereby modified to the extent necessary to provide for such
acceleration; such acceleration shall not apply to any share, unit, and/or option that by its terms would vest prior to the date provided for in this Section 2.6. 

2.7 Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment shall be communicated by a written notice of termination
to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 10. The notice of termination shall (a) indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (b) briefly summarize the facts and circumstances deemed to
provide a basis for a termination of employment and the applicable provision hereof, and (c) specify the termination date in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. 

3. Golden Parachute Excise Tax Modified Cutback. 

3.1 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if a nationally recognized accounting firm as shall be designated by the
Company with the Executive’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) (the “Accounting Firm”) shall determine that receipt of all payments or distributions by the Company or its affiliates in the nature of
compensation to or for the Executive’s benefit, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would subject the Executive to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the Accounting
Firm shall determine whether to reduce any of the Payments paid or payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of this Agreement (the “Agreement Payments”) to the Reduced Amount (as defined below). The Agreement Payments shall be

  
 5 

 
reduced to the Reduced Amount only if (a) the Accounting Firm determines that the Executive would have a greater Net After-Tax Receipt (as defined below) of aggregate Payments if the
Executive’s Agreement Payments were reduced to the Reduced Amount and (b) the Executive does not elect to waive any such reduction prior to the consummation of the transaction that would give rise to such excise tax. If the Accounting Firm
determines that the Executive would not have a greater Net After-Tax Receipt of aggregate Payments if the Executive’s Agreement Payments were so reduced, the Executive shall receive all Agreement Payments to which the Executive is entitled
under this Agreement. 
 3.2 If the Accounting Firm determines that aggregate Agreement Payments should be reduced to the Reduced Amount,
the Company shall promptly give the Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this Section 3 shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive absent
manifest error, and shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than 15 days following the applicable date of termination. For purposes of reducing the Agreement Payments to the Reduced Amount, only amounts payable
under this Agreement (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. 

3.3 As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the
Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of The Executive pursuant to this Agreement which should not have been so paid or distributed
(“Overpayment”) or that additional amounts which will have not been paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement could have been so paid or distributed
(“Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against either the
Company or the Executive that the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success, determines that an Overpayment has been made, the Executive shall pay any such Overpayment to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal
rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Executive to the Company if and to the extent such payment would not either reduce the amount on which the Executive is
subject to tax under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred,
any such Underpayment shall be paid promptly (and in no event later than 60 days following the date on which the Underpayment is determined) by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive together with interest at the applicable federal
rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. 
 3.4 For purposes hereof, (a) “Reduced Amount” shall mean
the greatest amount of Agreement Payments that can be paid that would not result in the imposition of the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code if the Accounting Firm determines to reduce Agreement Payments pursuant to Section 3.1, and
(b) “Net After-Tax Receipt” shall mean the present value (as determined in accordance with Sections 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) and 280G(d)(4) of the Code) of a Payment, net of all taxes imposed on the Executive with respect thereto
under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Code and under applicable state and local laws, determined by 

  
 6 

 
applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws that applied to the Executive’s taxable income for the immediately preceding taxable year,
or such other rate(s) as the Accounting Firm determined to be likely to apply to the Executive in the relevant tax year(s). 
 3.5 To the
extent requested by the Executive, the Company shall cooperate with the Executive in good faith in valuing, and the Accounting Firm shall take into account the value of, services provided or to be provided by the Executive (including without
limitation, the Executive’s agreeing to refrain from performing services pursuant to a covenant not to compete or similar covenant) before, on, or after the date of a change in ownership or control of the Company (within the meaning of
Q&A-2(b) of the final regulations under Section 280G of the Code), such that payments in respect of such services may be considered reasonable compensation within the meaning of Q&A-9 and Q&A-40 to Q&A-44 of the final
regulations under Section 280G of the Code and/or exempt from the definition of the term “parachute payment” within the meaning of Q&A-2(a) of the final regulations under Section 280G of the Code in accordance with
Q&A-5(a) of the final regulations under Section 280G of the Code. 
 4. Certain Definitions. 

(a) “Accrued Obligations” shall mean (i) any portion of the Base Salary that has been earned through the date of
termination but not paid to the Executive as of the date of termination; and (ii) any accrued but unpaid cash incentive compensation earned for any year prior to the year in which the date of termination occurs and, to the extent required to be
paid under the terms of the Company policy in effect from time to time and applicable law, any accrued but unpaid vacation pay as of the date of termination. 

(b) “Annual Compensation” shall mean the sum of (i) the annualized Base Salary, plus (ii) the Applicable Bonus.

 (c) “Applicable Bonus” shall mean (i) if the date of termination occurs after all the cash incentive compensation
in respect of fiscal year 2017 has been paid (or after the time such compensation in respect of 2017 would have been paid in the ordinary course, if none shall be paid), the average of the Executive’s Incentive Compensation in respect of the
three fiscal years preceding the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, (ii) if the date of termination occurs after all the cash incentive compensation in respect of fiscal year 2016 has been paid (or after the time such
compensation in respect of 2016 would have been paid in the ordinary course, if none shall be paid), the average of the Executive’s Incentive Compensation in respect of fiscal year 2016 and 2015 and the Incentive Compensation from the
Predecessor in respect of fiscal year 2014, (iii) if the date of termination occurs after all the cash incentive compensation in respect of fiscal year 2015 has been paid (or after the time such compensation in respect of 2015 would
have been paid in the ordinary course, if none shall be paid), the average of the Executive’s Incentive Compensation in respect of fiscal year 2015 and the Incentive Compensation from the Predecessor in respect of fiscal year 2014,
and (iv) if the date of termination occurs before all the cash incentive compensation in respect of fiscal year 2015 has been paid (or before the time such compensation in respect of 2015 would have been paid in the ordinary course, if
none shall be paid), the Executive’s Incentive Compensation from the Predecessor in respect of fiscal year 2014. 

  
 7 

 (d) “Cause” shall mean any of the following grounds for termination of the
Executive’s employment: 
 (i) The Executive shall have been convicted of a felony, or any crime involving fraud or
embezzlement; 
 (ii) The Executive intentionally and continually fails to substantially perform his reasonably assigned
material duties to the Company (other than a failure resulting from the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), which failure has been materially and demonstrably detrimental to the Company and has continued for a period of
at least 30 days after a written notice of demand for substantial performance, signed by a majority of the independent members of the Board, has been delivered to the Executive specifying the manner in which the Executive has failed
substantially to perform; or 
 (iii) The Executive is determined, through the processes set forth in Section 9, to
have materially breached Section 5. 
 (e) “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events or
conditions, unless the Executive has expressly consented in writing thereto or unless the event is remedied by the Company within 30 days after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive, which notice must be given, if at all, no later
than 90 days following the occurrence of the applicable event: 
 (i) a material reduction in the Executive’s Base
Salary (which shall be in violation of this Agreement); 
 (ii) a demotion of the Executive from the Position; 

(iii) a material reduction of the Executive’s duties hereunder; provided that the Executive and the Company
acknowledge that the Executive’s duties will have been materially reduced if the Company ceases to be a public company, unless the Company becomes a subsidiary of another public company (the “Public Parent”), and the Executive
becomes Executive Chairman of the board of directors of the Public Parent immediately following the applicable transaction); 

(iv) the failure of the Executive to be elected to the Board; or 

(v) any material breach of this Agreement by the Company.

Effective Date and additional amounts, if any, that may be awarded with respect to such fiscal year.

 5. Restrictive Covenants. The Executive agrees and acknowledges that his employment is
full, adequate, and sufficient consideration for the restrictions and obligations set forth in those provisions. 
 5.1 Developments.
The Executive shall disclose fully, promptly and in writing, to the Company any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements, modifications, and other intellectual property rights, whether patentable or not, which the Executive has conceived, made,
or developed, solely or jointly with others, while employed by the Company and which (a) relate to the business, work, or activities of the Company or (b) result from or are suggested by the carrying out of the Executive’s duties
hereunder or from or by any information that the Executive may receive as an employee of the Company. The Executive hereby assigns, transfers, and conveys to the Company all of the Executive’s right, title, and interest in and to any and all
such inventions, discoveries, improvements, modifications, and other intellectual property rights and agrees to take all such actions as may be requested by the Company at any time and with respect to any such invention, discovery, improvement,
modification, or other intellectual property rights to confirm or evidence such assignment, transfer, and conveyance. Furthermore, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of the Company, the Executive shall execute and deliver to the
Company, any and all instruments, documents, and papers, give evidence and do any and all other acts that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, are or may be necessary or desirable to document such assignment, transfer, and conveyance or to
enable the Company to file and prosecute applications for and to acquire, maintain, and enforce any and all patents, trademark registrations, or copyrights under United States or foreign law with respect to any such inventions, discoveries,
improvements, modifications, or other intellectual property rights or to obtain any extension, validation, reissue, continuance, or renewal of any such patent, trademark, or copyright. The Company shall be responsible for the preparation of any such
instruments, documents, and papers and for the prosecution of any such proceedings and shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.1. 

5.2 Confidentiality. 

(a) The Executive acknowledges that, by reason of the Executive’s employment by the Company, the Executive will have access to
confidential information of the Company, including, without limitation, information and knowledge pertaining to products, inventions, discoveries, improvements, innovations, designs, ideas, trade secrets, proprietary information, manufacturing,
packaging, advertising, distribution and sales methods, sales and profit figures, customer and client lists and relationships between the Company and dealers, distributors, sales representatives, wholesalers, customers, clients, suppliers, and
others who have business dealings with them (“Confidential Information”). The Executive acknowledges that such Confidential Information is a valuable and unique asset of the Company and covenants that, both during and after the
Period of Employment, the Executive will not disclose any Confidential Information to any person (except as the Executive’s duties as an officer of the Company may require or as required by law or in a judicial or administrative proceeding)
without the prior written authorization of the Board. The obligation of confidentiality imposed by this Section 5.2 shall not apply to information that becomes generally known to the public through no act of the Executive in breach of this
Agreement. 

  
 9 

 (b) The Executive acknowledges that all documents, files, and other materials received from the
Company during the Period of Employment (with the exception of documents relating to the Executive’s compensation or benefits to which the Executive is entitled following the Period of Employment) are for use of the Executive solely in
discharging the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder and that the Executive has no claim or right to the continued use or possession of such documents, files, or other materials following termination of the Executive’s
employment by the Company. The Executive agrees that, upon termination of employment, the Executive will not retain any such documents, files, or other materials and will promptly return to the Company any documents, files, or other materials in the
Executive’s possession or custody. 
 5.3 Noncompetition. The Executive agrees that, if the Company terminates the
Executive’s employment with Cause or the Executive resigns the Executive’s employment without Good Reason, then during the period commencing on the date on which the Executive’s employment terminates and ending on the first
anniversary of such date, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the Restricted Area (as defined below) engage or participate, alone or as a partner, joint venturer, officer, director, member, employee, consultant, agent, or
owner, in a Restricted Activity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude, prohibit, or restrict the Executive from acquiring, owning, or holding (a) 5% or less of the outstanding interests in or securities of any
publicly traded corporation or (b) any interests in or securities of any entity (or being a partner, joint venturer, officer, director, member, employee, consultant, agent, or owner, of any other entity) that derived 10% or less of its total
annual revenues in its most recent fiscal year from activities that constitute Restricted Activities in the Restricted Area. It is understood and agreed that interests in or securities of any entity acquired or held by a pension fund or any other
benefit plan of the Executive shall not be subject to any limitation hereunder and shall not be considered a violation of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Restricted Area” means the United States; and
(ii) “Restricted Activity” means a business engaged in the exploration, development, production, processing, storing, transportation, refinement, purification, marketing, and/or distribution of natural gas, crude oil, and
natural gas liquids, or a business engaged (to any extent) in investing in or financing any of the foregoing. 
 5.4 Nonsolicitation.
The Executive agrees that, if the Company terminates the Executive’s employment with Cause or the Executive resigns the Executive’s employment without Good Reason, then during the period commencing on the date on which the Executive’s
employment terminates and ending on the second anniversary of such date (the “Nonsolicitation Period”), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the Restricted Area, (a) solicit for employment or hire or
employ any individual who is, employed by the Company or its affiliates on the date on which the Nonsolicitation Period commences; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing shall not restrict any general solicitations of
employment, whether through public advertisements, search firms, or otherwise, that are not specifically directed at such employees and hiring persons as a result of such general solicitations and (ii) the Executive shall not be prohibited from
soliciting, hiring, employing, or otherwise engaging any such individual whose employment with the Company and its affiliates has been terminated or hiring, employing, or otherwise engaging any individual who approaches the Executive for employment
without any solicitation by the Executive; or (b) cause, solicit, or knowingly encourage any material client, customer, vendor, supplier, or licensor of the Company or its affiliates as of the date on which the Nonsolicitation Period commences
to cease doing business with the Company or its affiliates. 

  
 10 

 5.5 Covenants Generally. The Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may
limit his ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company, but the Executive nevertheless believes that he has received and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits as an employee of the Company and
as otherwise provided hereunder to clearly justify such restrictions which, in any event (given his education, skills, and ability), the Executive does not believe would prevent him from otherwise earning a living. The Executive has carefully
considered the nature and extent of the restrictions place upon him by this Section 5, and hereby acknowledges and agrees that the same are reasonable in time and territory and do not confer a benefit upon the Company disproportionate to the
detriment of the Executive. 
 5.6 Equitable Relief. The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 5.1,
5.2, 5.3, and 5.4 are, in view of the nature of the business of the Company, reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation of any provision of those Sections will result in irreparable injury to
the Company. The Executive also acknowledges that in the event of any such violation, the Company shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond, and to an
equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from any such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled. The Executive agrees that in
the event of any such violation, an action may be commenced for any such preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable relief in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Pennsylvania or in any other court of
competent jurisdiction. The Executive hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the Executive may now or hereafter have to such jurisdiction or to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding
brought in such a court and any claim that such suit, action, or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Executive agrees that effective service of process may be made upon the Executive by mail under the notice provisions
contained in Section 5. 
 5.7 Interpretation. For purposes of this Section 5, references to “the Company” shall
mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any of its affiliated companies. 
 6. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this
Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in or rights under any benefit, bonus, incentive, or other plan or program provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify; provided,
however, that if the Executive becomes entitled to and receives the payments provided for in Sections 2.1(b) or 2.1(c) of this Agreement, the Executive hereby waives the Executive’s right to receive payments under any severance plan
or similar program applicable to all employees of the Company. 
 7. Survivorship. The respective rights and obligations of the
parties under this Agreement shall survive any termination of the Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations. 

  
 11 

 8. Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
or benefit provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and there shall be no offset against amounts due the Executive under this Agreement on account of any remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that the
Executive may obtain. 
 9. Arbitration; Expenses; Damages. In the event of any dispute under the provisions of this Agreement, other
than a dispute in which the primary relief sought is an equitable remedy such as an injunction, the parties shall be required to have the dispute, controversy, or claim settled by arbitration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in accordance with the
National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, before a panel of three arbitrators, two of whom shall be selected by the Company and the Executive, respectively, and the third of whom
shall be selected by the other two arbitrators. Any award entered by the arbitrators shall be final, binding, and nonappealable and judgment may be entered thereon by either party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent
jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall be specifically enforceable. The parties hereby agree that upon any termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder (a) by Company without Cause or (b) by the Executive with Good
Reason, as long as the Executive has executed the Release, if required, then the Company shall pay all amounts due to the Executive hereunder on or prior to the deadline for such payments (it being agreed that TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE) without offset
or reduction, and failure to do so shall result in one hundred percent (100%) of the withheld amount (in addition to the actual amount owed to the Executive and his reasonable costs of collection) being due to the Executive as liquidated
damages. The Company hereby agrees that it shall be estopped from asserting that such damages are excessive or constitute a penalty, and that the Executive has reasonably relied upon such estoppel. If Company determines it has such an offset or
basis for reduction, it shall notify the Executive of such determination, in writing, as soon as reasonably possible and in any event on or prior to the deadline for making such payment. The Company shall make the full payment, but the Executive
shall be obligated to return any portion of such payment that is determined, pursuant to the arbitration set forth in this Section 9, to have been subject to legitimate offset or deduction. 

10. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement or necessary or convenient in connection
herewith shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when hand delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, as follows (provided that notice of change of address shall be deemed given only when received):

 11. Contents of Agreement; Amendment
and Assignment. 
 11.1 This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes in its entirety any and all prior agreements, understandings, or representations relating to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement). This Agreement cannot be changed, modified, extended,
or terminated except upon written amendment approved by the Board and executed on its behalf by a duly authorized officer and by the Executive. 

11.2 All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective
heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto, except that the duties and responsibilities of the Executive under this Agreement are of a personal nature and shall not be assignable or
delegatable in whole or in part by the Executive. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the
Company, within 15 days of such succession, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or application thereof to anyone or under any circumstances is adjudicated to be
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or application of this Agreement that can be given effect without the invalid or unenforceable provision or application, and shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision or application in any other jurisdiction. If any provision is held void, invalid, or unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect
in all other circumstances. 
 13. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No remedy conferred upon a party by this Agreement is intended to
be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission by a party in
exercising any right, remedy, or power under this Agreement or existing at law or in equity shall be construed as a waiver thereof, and any such right, remedy, or power may be exercised by such party from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient or necessary by such party in its sole discretion. 
 14. Beneficiaries/References. The Executive shall be entitled, to the
extent permitted under any applicable law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable under this Agreement following the Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In
the event of the Executive’s death or a judicial determination of the Executive’s incompetence, reference in this Agreement to the Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to the Executive’s beneficiary, estate, or other
legal representative. 

  
 13 

 15. Miscellaneous. All section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument. 

16. Withholding. All payments under this Agreement shall be made subject to applicable tax withholding, and the Company shall withhold
from any payments under this Agreement all federal, state, and local taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any law or governmental rule or regulation. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Executive
shall bear all expense of, and be solely responsible for, all federal, state, and local taxes due with respect to any payment received under this Agreement. 

17. Indemnification/Insurance. 

17.1 If the Executive is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee (which term includes officer, director, agent, and any other capacity) of the Company or is or was serving at the
request of the Company as an employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is an alleged action
in an official capacity as an employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as an employee or agent, the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by applicable law, against all
expense, liability, and loss (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection therewith and
such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive after he has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Executive’s heir, executors, and administrators; provided, however,
that the Company shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the Executive (other than a proceeding to enforce this Section 17) only if such proceeding (or part thereof)
was authorized directly or indirectly by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 17 shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be, promptly upon request, paid by the Company the expenses incurred in
defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition subject to, if and only if required by the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the Executive, to repay all amounts so
advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 17.1 or otherwise. 

17.2 The indemnification provided by this Section 17 shall not be limited or exclude any rights, indemnities, or limitations of liability
to which the Executive may be entitled, whether as a matter of law, under the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company, by agreement, vote of the unitholders, or disinterested directors of the Company or otherwise.

 17.3 The Executive, in seeking indemnification under this Agreement (the
“Indemnitee”), shall give the other party or parties (the “Indemnitor”) prompt written notice of any claim, suit, or demand that the Indemnitee believes will give rise to indemnification under this Agreement;
provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the liability of the Indemnitor under this Agreement unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely affects the ability of the Indemnitor to
defend itself against or to cure or mitigate the damages. Except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnitor shall have the right (without prejudice to the right of the Indemnitee to participate at its expense through counsel of its own choosing) to
defend and to direct the defense against any such claim, suit, or demand, at the Indemnitor’s expense and with counsel chosen jointly by Indemnitor and Indemnitee, and the right to settle or compromise any such claim, suit, or demand;
provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not, without the Indemnitee’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any claim or consent to any entry of judgment. The Indemnitee shall, at the
Indemnitor’s expense, cooperate in the defense of any such claim, suit, or demand. If the Indemnitor, within a reasonable time after notice of a claim fails to defend the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to undertake the defense,
compromise, or settlement of such claim at the expense of and for the account and risk of the Indemnitor. 
 17.4 The Executive shall be
covered during the entire term of this Agreement and thereafter by Officer and Director liability insurance in amounts and on terms similar to that afforded to other executives and/or directors of the Company or its affiliates, which such insurance
shall be paid by the Company. 
 18. Section 409A. 

18.1 This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and its corresponding regulations, or an exemption, and payments
may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable. Any payments that qualify for the “short-term deferral”
exception or another exception under Section 409A of the Code shall be paid under the applicable exception. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if required by Section 409A of the Code, if the Executive is considered
a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and if payment of any amounts under this Agreement is required to be delayed for a period of six months after separation from service pursuant to Section 409A of the
Code, payment of such amounts shall be delayed as required by Section 409A of the Code, and the accumulated amounts shall be paid in a lump sum payment within ten days after the end of the six-month period. If the Executive dies during the
postponement period prior to the payment of benefits, the amounts withheld on account of Section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate within 60 days after the date of the
Executive’s death. 
 18.2 All payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a
“separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.
In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a payment. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A
of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that 

  
 15 

 
(a) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the period of time specified in this Agreement, (b) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits
provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year, (c) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the
calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (d) the right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to
any conflict of laws provisions. 
 20. Payments Allocated to ARP. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, ARP
shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company to the Executive for payments owed to the Executive hereunder to the extent such payments (or portion thereof) would be, if paid by the Company, either (a) paid on behalf of the Partnership
Group (as defined in the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of ARP, dated as of March 12, 2012, as amended (the “ARP Partnership Agreement”)), or (b) be allocable to the Partnership Group, in each case, in
accordance with Section 7.5(b) of the Partnership Agreement (such payments, the “ARP Allocated Payments”). At the Executive’s election, ARP shall directly pay to the Executive any ARP Allocated Payment in lieu of the
Company paying such ARP Allocated Payment, and any such amount that is directly paid by ARP shall not be subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.5(b) of the ARP Partnership Agreement.

 Exhibit A 

Separation Agreement and General Release 

THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE (the “Agreement”) is made as of this      the day of
            , 20    , by and between ATLAS ENERGY GROUP, LLC (the “Company”) and Jonathan Z. Cohen (the “Executive”). 

WHEREAS, the Executive formerly was employed by the Company as the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the
terms of the Employment Agreement, dated as of September 4, 2015 (the “Employment Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, the
Employment Agreement provides for certain benefits in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of a reason set forth in the Employment Agreement; 

WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company mutually desire to terminate the Executive’s employment; and 

WHEREAS, in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment, the parties have agreed to a separation package and the
resolution of any and all disputes between them. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by and between the Executive and the Company as
follows: 
 1. The Executive, for and in consideration of the commitments of the Company as set forth in the Employment Agreement, and
intending to be legally bound, does hereby REMISE, RELEASE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, and parents, and its officers, directors, employees, and agents, and its and their respective successors and assigns, heirs,
executors, and administrators (collectively, “Releasees”) from all causes of action, suits, debts, claims, and demands whatsoever at law or in equity (“Claims”), which Claims related to the Executive’s
employment with the Company and which Claims the Executive ever had, now has, or hereafter may have, whether known or unknown, or which his heirs, executors, or administrators may have, by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from the
beginning of his employment to the date of this Agreement. This Agreement is effective without regard to the legal nature of the claims raised and without regard to whether any such claims are based upon tort, equity, implied or express contract, or
discrimination of any sort. The forgoing releases do not apply to the Executive’s and Company’s continuing obligations under the Employment Agreement. 

2. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Executive represents and affirms that (a) he has not filed or caused to be filed on his
behalf any claim for relief against the Company or any Releasee and, to the best of his knowledge and belief, no outstanding claims for relief have been filed or asserted against the Company or any Releasee on his behalf; (b) he has not
reported any improper, unethical, or illegal conduct or activities to any supervisor, manager, department head, human resources representative, agent, or other representative of the Company, to any member of the Company’s legal or compliance
departments, or to the ethics hotline, and has no 

  
 A-1 

 
knowledge of any such improper, unethical, or illegal conduct or activities; and (c) he will not file, commence, prosecute, or participate in any judicial or arbitral action or proceeding
against the Company or any Releasee based upon or arising out of any act, omission, transaction, occurrence, contract, claim, or event existing or occurring on or before the date of this Agreement. 

3. The Executive agrees that he will not file, charge, claim, sue, or cause or permit to be filed, charged, or claimed, any civil action,
suit, or legal proceeding seeking equitable or monetary relief (including damages, injunctive, declaratory, monetary, or other relief) for himself involving any matter released in Sections 1 or 2. In the event that suit is filed in breach of
this covenant not to sue, it is expressly understood and agreed that this covenant shall constitute a complete defense to any such suit. In the event any Releasee is required to institute litigation to enforce the terms of this Section 3, such
Releasee shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in such enforcement. The Executive further agrees and covenants that should any person, organization, or other entity file, charge, claim, sue, or cause or
permit to be filed any civil action, suit, or legal proceeding involving any matter occurring at any time in the past, the Executive will not seek or accept personal equitable or monetary relief in such civil action, suit, or legal proceeding. 

4. The Executive further agrees and recognizes that he has permanently and irrevocably severed his employment relationship with the Company
and that the Company has no obligation to employ him in the future. 
 5. The Executive further agrees that he will not disparage or subvert
the Company, or make any statement reflecting negatively on the Company, its affiliated corporations or entities, or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, or representatives, including, but not limited to, any matters relating to the
operation or management of the Company, the Executive’s employment and the termination of his employment, irrespective of the truthfulness or falsity of such statement. 

6. The Executive understands and agrees that the payments, benefits, and agreements provided in this Agreement and in the Employment Agreement
are being provided to him in consideration for his acceptance and execution of, and in reliance upon his representations in, this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges that, if he had not executed this Agreement containing a release of all claims
against the Company, he would, except as provided otherwise in the Employment Agreement, have been entitled to only the payments provided in the Company’s standard severance pay plan for employees. 

7. The Executive represents that, to the best of his knowledge, he does not presently have in his possession any records and business
documents, whether on computer or hard copy, and other materials (including, but not limited to, computer disks and tapes, computer programs and software, office keys, correspondence, files, customer lists, technical information, customer
information, pricing information, business strategies and plans, sales records, and all copies thereof) (collectively, the “Corporate Records”) provided by the Company and/or its predecessors, subsidiaries, or affiliates or obtained
as a result of his prior employment with the Company and/or its predecessors, subsidiaries, or affiliates, or created by the Executive while employed by or rendering services to the Company and/or its predecessors, subsidiaries, or affiliates. The
Executive acknowledges that, except as provided above, all such Corporate Records are the property of the Company.

 8. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Executive from: (a) making any
disclosure of information required by law; (b) providing information to, or testifying or otherwise assisting in any investigation or proceeding brought by, any federal regulatory or law enforcement agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, or the Company; or (c) filing, testifying, participating in, or otherwise assisting in a proceeding relating to an alleged violation of any federal, state, or municipal law
relating to fraud, or any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any self-regulatory organization. 
 9. The
parties agree and acknowledge that the agreement by the Executive described herein, and the settlement and termination of any asserted or unasserted claims against the Releasees, are not and shall not be construed to be an admission of any violation
of any federal, state, or local statute or regulation, or of any duty owed by any of the Releasees to Executive. 
 10. This Agreement and
the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 

11. The Executive certifies and acknowledges as follows: 

11.1 That he has read the terms of this Agreement, and that he understands its terms and effects, including the fact that he has agreed to
RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the Company and each and every one of its affiliated entities from any legal action arising out of his employment relationship with the Company and the termination of that employment relationship; 

11.2 That he has signed this Agreement voluntarily and knowingly in exchange for the consideration described herein, which he acknowledges is
adequate and satisfactory to him, and which he acknowledges is in addition to any other benefits to which he is otherwise entitled; 
 11.3
That he has been and is hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement; 
 11.4 That he does not
waive rights or claims that may arise after the date this Agreement is executed; and 
 11.5 That the Company has provided him with a period
of 21 days within which to consider this Agreement, and that the Executive has signed on the date indicated below after concluding that this Agreement is satisfactory to him. 

12. The Executive acknowledges that this Agreement may be revoked by him within seven days after execution, and it shall not become effective
until the expiration of such seven-day revocation period. In the event of a timely revocation by Executive, this Agreement will be deemed null and void and the Company will have no obligations hereunder. 

  
 A-3 

 Intending to be legally bound hereby, Executive has executed the foregoing Separation Agreement
and General Release this      day of             , 2    .
