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

RECITALS

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

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

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

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

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

AGREEMENT

	1.	 	COMMITMENTS

	 	1.1	 	Shippers’ Dedication.

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

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

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 4

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 5

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

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

	 	1.4	 	[INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

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

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

	 	1.6	 	Gathering System Pressures.

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 6

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

	 	 	 
	Actual Suction Pressure	 	Fee Modification
	Greater than Target Suction Pressure but less than A psig

	 	no modification
	Greater than A psig but less than B psig

	 	minus $*** per Dth*
	Greater than B psig

	 	modification to the
Reduced Rate and Remedy
described in Section
1.6(c)

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

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

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

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

	 	2.	 	SERVICE OPTIONS

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

	 	2.2	 	[INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

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

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

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 8

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

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

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

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

	 	2.5	 	Acquisition of Target Business

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 9

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

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

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

	 	2.6	 	Gathering System Expansions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 11

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

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

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 12

	 	2.8	 	Recovery of Costs.

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 13

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

	3.	 	CONDITIONING OF GAS

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

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

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 14

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

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

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

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

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

	4.	 	STATEMENTS AND PAYMENT

	 	4.1	 	Report and Statement by Shipper. Where CTM is not being performed by
LMM, Shipper shall report to LMM (a) the Day(s) of production, the
Month and year in which such production is to be recognized, Dth
pressure base, Btu pressure base, Daily Mcf, Daily Btu, Daily Dth and
quality of Shipper’s Gas and (b) the Gross Sales Price and the amount
and calculation of any Gathering Fee determined using the Gross Sales
Price, together with reasonable and appropriate supporting
documentation. Whether or not CTM is being performed by LMM or by
Shipper, Shipper shall report to LMM the Gross Sales Price for
calculation of the Gathering Fee. Such report shall be transmitted to
LMM by telephone, e-mail, text message or facsimile on or before the
later to occur of *** (the “Initial Report Deadline”). Shipper shall
also send to LMM via mail not later than five (5) Business Days
following the Initial Report Deadline a written statement confirming
such report. Any adjustments to such report shall be sent as a net
adjustment identified by the Day of production. LMM may request an
additional Monthly electronic audit file with all of the hourly,
daily, configuration and event/alarm data.

	 	4.2	 	Statement by LMM. Not later than *** Business Days following the
Initial Report Deadline with respect to each Month, LMM shall make
available to Shipper electronically and/or via mail a statement
setting forth the following:

	 	(a)	 	The number of Dth of Shipper’s Gas allocated to Shipper at the Receipt
Point(s) during the relevant Month, based upon the volume of Gas
delivered at the Delivery Point(s);

	 	(b)	 	The number of Dth delivered by LMM for Shipper’s account to the

	6.	 	ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS

	 	6.1	 	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and,
subject to the limitations on transfer hereafter provided, inure to
the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties,
and this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof shall
constitute covenants running with the land.

	 	6.2	 	Restrictions on Assignment. Except as expressly provided in this
Article and in Section 1.1 above, no Party may transfer this Agreement
or any of its rights hereunder or interest(s) in the leases dedicated
hereunder. Any transfer or attempted transfer not in accordance with
this Agreement shall be wholly void and shall not be recognized for
any purpose, and the party attempting the transfer shall remain liable
and a party hereto just as if no attempted transfer had been made, and
all of the parties shall continue to deal with the party purporting to
transfer to the exclusion of the purported transferee.

	 	6.3	 	Permitted Transfers by LMM. Subject to compliance with Section 6.5
herein, (i) LMM may transfer all, but not less than all, of its
rights, titles and interests under this Agreement to an Affiliate
without the approval of the other parties, (ii) ***; and (iii) LMM may
transfer all, but not less than all, of its rights, titles and
interests under this Agreement to any other person that is not an
Affiliate upon the prior written consent of the other parties hereto,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned nor
delayed.

	 	6.4	 	Permitted Transfers by Shippers. Except for acreage swaps described
in Section 1.1(d) above, and subject to compliance with Section 6.5
herein, (i) a Shipper may transfer any of its rights, titles and
interests under this Agreement and in the Gas subject to dedication
hereunder to an Affiliate without the prior approval of LMM, and (ii)
a Shipper may transfer all, but not less than all, of its rights,
titles and interests under this Agreement and in the leases subject to
dedication hereunder to a person that is not an Affiliate upon the
prior written consent of LMM, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned nor delayed, provided, in no event may a Shipper
make any transfer of this Agreement or its interest in the Gas subject
to dedication hereunder which would have the effect of separating the
rights and obligations of such Shipper hereunder from such Shipper’s
ownership of its interest in the Gas dedicated hereunder.

	 	6.5	 	Other Conditions for Transfer. Except for acreage swaps described in
Section 1.1(d) above, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section
6.3 and 6.4, no transfer of any interest hereunder shall be effective

discharge all of the obligations of the transferor under this
Agreement applicable to the party whose interest is transferred. Any
such assumption and agreement to discharge shall be by appropriate
written instrument for the express benefit of, and enforceable by, LMM
(in the case of a transfer by a Shipper) or by the Shippers (in the
case of a transfer by LMM), as may be applicable. If a transfer fully
complies with all of the requirements of this Section, the transferor
party shall be relieved of all obligations and liabilities under this
Agreement pertaining to the period after the effective date of such
transfer, but in no event shall the transferor party be relieved of
any obligations under this Agreement pertaining to the period prior to
the effective date of such transfer. No transfer by a party shall be
binding or effective upon the other parties until the first Day of the
Month next following receipt of written notice of such transfer by all
other parties, together with transferor’s and transferee’s compliance
with all other terms and provisions of this Section 6.

“transfer” shall include any sale, assignment or other transfer,
whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise,
provided it shall not include the grant of a lien or security interest
on a Shipper’s interest hereunder so long as the same shall remain
inferior to the rights of LMM, but it shall include any transfer by
reason of foreclosure or other realization upon such lien and security
interest.

As of the Effective Date, each of the Shippers, APL and APL Operating (collectively the
“Terminating Parties”) agree that the following agreement shall be terminated and of no further
force or effect as to any Person:

Omnibus Agreement dated February 2, 2000, as amended

Master Gathering Agreement dated February 2, 2000, as amended

Natural Gas Gathering Agreement dated January 1, 2002, as amended

Each of the Terminating Parties shall indemnify LMM from and against any claim arising from or
related to the foregoing terminations, including without limitation any claim that such
terminations are in breach of any other agreement or ineffective as to any person or provision of
the terminated agreements.

	9.	 	JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS

	 	9.1	 	Joint and Several Liability and Indemnity. Each Shipper acknowledges
and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally responsible for the
payment, performance, and discharge of the obligations of all Shippers
under this Agreement. If any Shipper chooses to contest the joint and
several nature of the obligations of the Shippers hereunder, each
other Shipper agrees to indemnify and hold LMM harmless from and
against all reasonable costs and expense, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, expended or incurred by LMM in connection therewith,
including without limitation, any litigation with respect thereto.

	 	9.2	 	Change of Control Exception. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, including the foregoing, if there is a change of
control of any Shipper, then, all liabilities hereunder shall be
several, and not joint as between any such Shipper and any other
Shipper for which there is a change of control, and as between any
such Shipper and any Shipper not subject to a change in control if
such liability arises after the change of control.

	 	9.3	 	Definition of Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term “change of control” means the occurrence of any of the following:
(i) the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially
or of record, by any “person” (as that term is used in Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of equity interests
representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate ordinary
voting power represented by the issued and outstanding equity

control of its facilities (including the operation and configuration
of the Gathering System) and shall operate its facilities in a
commercially reasonable manner that is consistent with its obligations
under this Agreement and its operational (including without limitation
environmental and safety) policies and procedures. However, this
Section B.1 shall not be interpreted to relieve LMM of its obligations
under this Agreement.

	 	B.2 	 	Maintenance. LMM shall, without liability, except as specified
herein, be entitled to perform such maintenance, testing, alteration,
modification, repair or replacement of the Gathering System, or any
part thereof, as would be done (including prior written notice, as
applicable) by a prudent operator (“Maintenance”), even if it requires
the allocation of capacity pursuant to Section B.4.

	 	B.3 	 	Force Majeure. Except with respect to the obligation to pay amounts
owing hereunder, neither LMM nor Shipper shall be liable in damages or
otherwise to the other for inability to perform any obligation under
this Agreement, including without limitation any obligation associated
with the failure to meet any deadline established herein, due to an
event of Force Majeure. Without limitation of the foregoing, any
deadline otherwise established by this Agreement shall be extended for
the same amount of time during which LMM’s or Shipper’s performance
(as applicable) was prevented by an event of Force Majeure. As used
herein, the term “Force Majeure” shall mean any act, omission, or
circumstances occasioned by or in consequence of any Acts of God,
blockades, insurrections, riots, epidemics, flood, washouts,

having jurisdiction or any change in any applicable regulation
materially affecting the operation of the facilities or any other
cause of a similar nature (provided that such order or change in
regulation was not sought or supported by the party claiming
suspension), whether of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise, not
reasonably within the control of the Party claiming suspension, not
contributed to by the negligence of, willful misconduct by, or breach
of this Agreement by the party claiming suspension, and which by the
exercise of due diligence such Party is unable to prevent or overcome.
Failure to prevent or settle any strike or strikes shall not be
considered a matter within the control of the Party claiming
suspension. With regard to the installation of new facilities or
modifications to existing facilities, delay or inability to obtain any
necessary permits or rights-of-way from a regulatory agency or
landowner after an application or request by a party shall be deemed
to be a Force Majeure event, provided that party has given reasonable
notice of any planned suspension of service to Shipper. Force Majeure
shall not relieve either Party of liability in the event of its
concurring negligence and shall only relieve the non-performing party
from liability for failure to perform under this Agreement for so long
as such party is making reasonable efforts to remedy the situation.
Force Majeure shall not relieve either party of its obligation to pay
money due under this Agreement.

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 5

	 	B.4	 	Allocation of Capacity. Subject to LMM’s obligation to provide to
Shipper first priority service up to the MDQ as described in Section
1.2 of the Agreement, if for any Day LMM determines that the capacity
of its Gathering System is constrained through Force Majeure or as the
result of Maintenance, LMM shall, without liability, allocate the
available capacity as follows:

	 	(a)	 	Capacity shall first be allocated pro rata to all shippers with
Guaranteed Capacity based upon the lower of their respective (i)
Maximum Daily Quantities, (ii) Available Supplies or (iii) Adjusted
Available Supplies (to the extent such terms apply to any shipper);
and

	 	(b)	 	Any remaining capacity shall be allocated pro rata to all shippers
with Non-Guaranteed Capacity based upon the lower of their respective
(i) Maximum Daily Quantities, (ii) Available Supplies or (iii)
Adjusted Available Supplies.

However, if LMM can identify the location of the constraint, then LMM shall, without liability,
endeavor to impose such allocation upon only those shippers whose Gas is affected by the
constraint.

For purposes of this Section B.4, “Available Supplies” shall mean the number of Dth of Gas that a
shipper will make available at each Receipt Point for the account of that shipper, through
nomination to the Gathering System, and “Adjusted Available Supplies” shall mean an Available
Supply that may be adjusted by LMM to the extent LMM finds the nominated Available Supply
inaccurate.

	 	B.5	 	Access, Easements and Rights-of-Way. To the extent either party has
the right to allow access by the other party, the party with access
rights shall provide the other party such access to its facilities as
is necessary and convenient for that party to perform its obligations
under this Agreement. To the extent either party has the right to do
so, such party grants to the other party the use of all easements and
rights-of-way held by that party that are necessary and convenient for
the other party to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Such
use shall include, but not be limited to, those rights under Shipper’s
oil and Gas lease(s) to construct, operate, and maintain pipelines and
appurtenant facilities for the purpose of Gathering Gas from the
leasehold, and any rights of way held by LMM. Each party shall be
responsible for maintaining its access, easements and rights-of-way at
its sole cost and expense, provided that the party relying on another
party’s access rights shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
other party against any and all claims or liabilities for damages
arising from their access to any site.

	 	B.6 	 	Shipper’s Delivery Pressure. Shipper shall deliver Shipper’s Gas to
the Receipt Point(s) at pressure(s) sufficient to cause it to enter
LMM’s facilities against the pressures of LMM is obligated to maintain
in Section 1 of this Agreement. However, Shipper shall not deliver
Gas at a pressure exceeding the Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure
of LMM’s facilities (“LMM’s MAOP”). If Shipper has the potential to
deliver Gas above LMM’s MAOP, Shipper, at its sole expense, shall
implement pressure controls which eliminate this potential and meet
acceptable industry standards. LMM’s MAOP for a given facility may be
revised from time to time by LMM in its sole discretion. Unless
otherwise expressly provided in Section 1, LMM is not obligated to
modify the pressure(s) in its facilities in order to cause the entry
of Shipper’s Gas into its facilities. Shipper shall equip its
compression equipment, if any, with:

	 	(a)	 	over pressurization protection devices in accordance with ANSI B31.8
to prevent delivery pressure in excess of LMM’s MAOP;

	 	(b)	 	Gas cooling to prevent delivery temperatures in excess of 120° F into
LMM’s facilities; and

	 	(c)	 	pulsation dampening equipment, as necessary, to minimize pulsation
induced measurement errors to less than two percent (2%) peak-to-peak
square root error.

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 6

	 	B.7 	 	LMM’s Delivery Pressure. LMM shall, deliver Gas to the Delivery
Point(s) at sufficient pressure to cause the entry of Gas into the
Delivery Point(s).

	C.	 	GAS QUALITY

	 	C.1 	 	Gas Quality at Delivery Points. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement:

	 	(a)	 	Shipper’s Gas at the Delivery Point(s) shall conform to the quality
specifications required from time to time by the Interconnecting
Pipelines.

	 	(b)	 	If at any time Shipper’s Gas at the Delivery Point(s) fails to conform
to such quality specifications, Shipper may seek waivers of such
quality specifications from the Interconnecting Pipelines and LMM, as
reasonably requested by Shipper, shall cooperate in a reasonable
manner in Shipper’s efforts to secure such waivers; failing Shipper’s
prompt receipt of such a waiver for any reason, LMM shall give Shipper
written notice of the deficiency and Shipper shall immediately remedy
the deficiency.

	 	(c)	 	If Shipper fails to immediately remedy the deficiency, LMM may refuse
to accept further deliveries of Shipper’s Gas that is causing the
deficiency at the Delivery Point.

	 	(d)	 	Shipper shall be responsible for all damages to the Gathering System,
including costs of repair, due to its failure to comply with this
Section C.1.

	 	C.2	 	 Removal of Liquefiable Hydrocarbons in the Field. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, Shipper’s Gas shall not be processed for
removal of liquefiable hydrocarbons prior to its receipt by LMM at the
Receipt Point(s) other than by the use of conventional mechanical
liquid-Gas separators operated at or above ambient temperatures.
Shipper shall own and be responsible for any liquid hydrocarbons
removed by this method from Shipper’s Gas. LMM shall own and be
responsible for any liquid hydrocarbons that condense in the Gathering
System or are otherwise removed between the Receipt Point and the
Delivery Point.

	 	C.3	 	Water Disposal. LMM shall Dehydrate Shipper’s Gas as necessary and
dispose of Shipper’s water by evaporation. If evaporating Shipper’s
water is ever disallowed for any reason or is deemed to be uneconomic
by LMM, Shipper shall make alternate arrangements to dispose of
Shipper’s water at Shipper’s sole cost and expense and Shipper shall
reimburse LMM for any costs incurred by LMM in delivering Shipper’s
water. Except to the extent caused by LMM’s negligence or willful
misconduct, Shipper shall release, indemnify and defend LMM from and
against any and all damages, claims, actions, expenses, penalties and
liabilities, including attorney’s fees, arising from personal injury,
death, property damage, environmental damage, pollution, or

evaporation or the alternate arrangement(s) selected by Shipper.

	 	C.4 	 	CO2 Disposal. To the extent that LMM removes CO2
from Shipper’s Gas or otherwise generates CO2 from
stationary sources which are part of the Gathering System in providing
services to Shipper as set forth herein, and disposes of Shipper’s
CO2 by venting, if venting Shipper’s CO2 is ever
disallowed for any reason, is taxed, or is deemed to be uneconomic by
LMM, Shipper shall make alternate arrangements to dispose of Shipper’s
CO2 at Shipper’s sole cost and expense and shall reimburse
LMM for any costs incurred by LMM in delivering Shipper’s
CO2. Except to the extent caused by LMM’s negligence or
willful misconduct, Shipper shall release, indemnify and defend LMM
from and against any and all damages, claims, actions, expenses,
penalties and liabilities, including attorney’s fees, arising from
personal injury, death, property damage, environmental damage, taxes,
pollution, or contamination relating to the disposal of Shipper’s

	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 7

	 	C.5	 	 Gas Quality at Delivery Point(s). Subject to Shipper’s performance
under Section C.1 and Article 3 of this Agreement, Gas delivered by
LMM at the Delivery Point(s) shall conform to the most restrictive
quality specifications required from time to time by the
Interconnecting Pipeline(s).

	 	C.6 	 	Gross Heating Value and Component Analysis. The component analysis
and Gross Heating Value of the Gas shall be determined and calculated
at least semi-annually by whomever is operating the CTM equipment, as
determined in Section D.4, but either party may conduct such analysis
at its discretion and cost. The component analysis and Gross Heating
Value of the Gas shall be based on any of the following at the choice
of the operator of the CTM equipment; continuous samples, or on-line
analysis. The component analysis of the Gas shall be performed by Gas
chromatography in accordance with GPA 2261 or any pertinent
revision(s) thereto or replacement(s) thereof. If the component
percentages fall outside the limits of GPA 2261, then the operator of
the CTM equipment shall make a reasonable judgment as to the accuracy
of the component analysis. If neither party objects in writing to the
results within sixty (60) Days after their delivery, such results
shall become conclusive. If either party objects in writing to the
results within sixty (60) Days after their delivery, then: in the case
of spot samples, a re-sampling, redetermination and recalculation
shall be performed by a third party acceptable to both parties and
such third party’s results shall be used; and in the case of
continuous samples or on-line analysis, the analyzer shall be tested
for accuracy according to GPA 2261 and, if warranted, a recalculation
of the components shall be made by a means acceptable to the parties.
The cost of any re-sampling, retesting, redetermination and/or
recalculation shall be borne by the objecting party.

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

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

	D.	 	VOLUME

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

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 8

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (LEGACY APPALACHIAN SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 9

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

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

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

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

	E.	 	NOMINATIONS AND SCHEDULING

	 	E.1	 	[INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

	 	E.2	 	Monthly Nomination Procedure. For each Month, Shipper shall submit
nomination(s) via LMM’s Nomination System of the number of Dth of
Shipper’s Gas that Shipper desires LMM to deliver at the Delivery
Point(s). The total of such nomination(s) shall not exceed the MDQ
unless LMM otherwise consents in writing.

	 	E.3	 	Scheduling Nominations. LMM shall have no obligation to schedule
deliveries of Shipper’s Gas into the Interconnecting Pipelines.
Shipper or Shipper’s agent shall be solely responsible for scheduling
Shippers Gas into the Interconnecting Pipelines and shall be
responsible for any imbalance or other obligation related thereto
including, without limitation, any obligation, penalties, or fees
imposed by the Interconnecting Pipelines.

	K.	 	ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

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

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

	L.	 	MISCELLANEOUS

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

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

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

DRILLING PLAN

[remainder of page intentionally left blank; schedule

of Drilling Plan begins on following page]

 

 

 

Shippers’ Drilling Plan

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

	 	1.	 	A document entitled “Drilling Schedule 4-1-09 through 3/31/10” which is Shippers’
drilling schedule (as of May 12, 2009) showing all vertical and horizontal wells intended
(as of May 12, 2009) to be spudded by Shippers on or prior to May 7, 2009 within the Area of
Interest. The wells highlighted in yellow (designated as “Phillips AMI”) are subject to the
exclusions set forth in Exhibit “F” to the Agreement and are not subject to the dedication
contained in the Agreement and are included for informational purposes only;
provided, however, that the Cowden Nos. 21H, 23H and 24H are located on
Option Parcels (as defined in that certain Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Agreement
effective as of November 1, 2008 by and between Atlas America, LLC (in its capacity as a
producer and as transporter) and PC Exploration, Inc. with respect to which LMM has become
the Transporter (as defined therein)) and hence may be available for gathering by LMM.
	 
	 	2.	 	A document entitled “Wells that need to be pipelined, located in the Deemston AMI and
West Bethlehem Township, Washington County”. This document is a list of wells previously
drilled within the Area of Interest that remain unconnected to the Gathering System and that
Shippers would like to have LMM connect to the Gathering System for Gathering under the
Agreement. Each of these wells is a vertical well completed in multiple Upper Devonian
sands. Shippers are not providing specific estimated ultimate recovery or thermal content
data for each of these wells; however, Shippers expect that each of these wells
could produce between 30 mcf and 70 mcf per day on average, subject to applicable decline
rates and specific conditions relating to each well. The two groupings of wells are each
deemed a Project for purposes of the Agreement.

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

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

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

INITIAL CONNECTION PLAN

[remainder of page intentionally left blank; schedule

of Initial Connection Plan begins on following page]

 

 

 

LMM’s Initial Connection Plan

NOTES:

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

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

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

	 	PAGE 3

THIS GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between LAUREL MOUNTAIN
MIDSTREAM, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LMM”), and ATLAS ENERGY RESOURCES, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, ATLAS ENERGY OPERATING COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, ATLAS AMERICA, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, ATLAS NOBLE LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, RESOURCE ENERGY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and
VIKING RESOURCES, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (each individually a “Shipper” or
collectively, the “Shippers”), and only as to Section 7, below, ATLAS PIPELINE PARTNERS, L.P. and
ATLAS PIPELINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, LP (hereinafter “APL” and “APL Operating,” respectively).

RECITALS

	A.	 	Shippers each own or control a supply of Gas that they desire LMM to Gather for Shippers’ account.
	 
	B.	 	LMM will be constructing a high-pressure natural gas gathering system
and related facilities within the Area of Interest, which shall be
generally referred to as the “Expansion Gathering System,” or
“Gathering System,” and is willing to Gather such Gas for Shippers’
account on that system pursuant to the terms set forth herein.
	 
	C.	 	LMM and Shippers will simultaneously with this Agreement be entering
into a gathering agreement for the gathering of natural gas on a low
pressure system currently existing in the Area of Interest (the
“Legacy Appalachian Gathering System”), which together with this
Agreement constitutes the Parties’ entire agreement regarding
gathering services in the Area of Interest.
	 
	D.	 	Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined in the body
hereof shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Exhibit “A” hereto
and made a part hereof.

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

AGREEMENT

	1.	 	COMMITMENTS

	 	1.1	 	Shippers’ Dedication.

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

	 	(i)	 	any Minority Interest in Subsequently Acquired Gas (as defined below)
from any production or acreage in which Shipper neither controls nor
operates the production. For purposes of this Section 1.1, a
“Minority Interest” shall be any production or acreage in which any
other party or parties, in the aggregate, not an Affiliate of Shipper
owns a greater interest, by percentage, than Shippers;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	any interest in Subsequently Acquired Gas which, prior to acquisition
by Shipper, is dedicated to or is flowing through another gathering
system which is owned by an entity from whom Shipper acquired such
interest in Gas (a “Producer System”), provided that such Gas will be
dedicated to LMM in the event LMM purchases the Producer System in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.4(c), below, or Section 2.5,
as applicable;

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 4

	 	(iii)	 	any interest in Subsequently Acquired Gas which prior to acquisition
is dedicated to a third party gatherer, provided that such Gas will
be dedicated to LMM in the event LMM exercises its option in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.4(c) or Section 2.5, as
applicable, below; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	those existing interests (including future interests in the areas of
mutual interest described in the area of mutual interest agreements
identified on Exhibit “F,” provided, however, that Shipper shall not
agree to expand any such area of mutual interest from and after the
Effective Date (as defined in Section 5, below), that are subject to
any of the agreements or produced from any of the wells listed in
Exhibit “F”.

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

	 	(b)	 	Each Shipper, for itself and its Affiliates, represents and warrants
that it has the authority to make such dedication as to its Gas, and
agrees that LMM may file memoranda of this agreement in local land
records substantially in the form shown in Exhibit “G”. Each Shipper
covenants that it will not request or solicit any potential seller of
any interest in Gas to create any dedication of the Gas prior to
Shipper’s acquisition. Shippers further warrant that the contracts
listed on Exhibit “F” (other than the leases listed as being subject
to the joint venture or farmout agreements listed on Exhibit “F”, in
each case only to the extent the lessee under each such lease is not a
Shipper or an Affiliate of a Shipper) have not been amended or
otherwise modified in any way between April 1, 2009 and the Effective
Date.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Each Shipper, for itself and its Affiliates, covenants that no
subsequent transfer of any interest in its Gas shall be made without
being made subject to this dedication obligation herewith. Each
Shipper shall provide LMM prompt notice of any such transfer and shall
obtain and provide to LMM transferee’s acknowledgement of the
dedication. LMM may file memoranda of this Agreement in local land
records substantially in the form shown in Exhibit “G” as of the
Effective Date and as of the date of development and production of
Gas.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Subject to the prior written consent of LMM, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, each Shipper may remove acreage from the
dedication obligation described in Section 1.1(a) above in connection
with an acreage swap with a third party or third parties (“Removed
Acreage”) provided (i) all of the acreage received by that Shipper in
exchange for the Removed Acreage (the “Replacement Acreage”) is
dedicated hereunder; (ii) all of the Replacement Acreage is within the
Area of Interest; (iii) the area of such Replacement Acreage is, or
the estimated reserves or resources included under the Replacement
Acreage are equivalent or superior to the Removed Acreage, and (iv)
the Replacement Acreage is located such that it will improve gathering
efficiency. LMM agrees to file of record amendments to such
memorandum, or execute filings of record at any Shipper’s reasonable
request, to reflect such acreage swaps consented to by LMM.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Shippers and LMM acknowledge and agree that neither LMM nor Shipper
shall have any obligation whatsoever hereunder with respect to Gas or
acreage not subject to the foregoing dedication.

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 5

	 	1.2	 	LMM’s Gathering Service. LMM shall Gather on a Guaranteed Capacity
basis that quantity of Shipper’s Gas, subject to the provisions set
forth in Exhibit “E”, which is necessary to fulfill Shipper’s
Scheduled Nomination(s) and Shipper’s commitment to provide Gathering
Fuel, and subject to Force Majeure and Maintenance. LMM shall have the
right to commingle Shipper’s Gas with other natural gas in the
Gathering System. LMM shall build out the Gathering System, subject
to Section 2.3 of this Agreement, to accommodate Shipper’s Gas drilled
after the Effective Date of this Agreement.
	 
	 	1.3	 	Gathering Fuel. Shippers shall provide to LMM Shippers’ share of
Gathering Fuel, which share shall be pro rated based on Shippers’
volumes of Gas Gathered hereunder as a proportion of the volumes of
all Gas Gathered into the Gathering System. LMM shall give Shipper
written notice of the Gathering Fuel percentage that will be in effect
during the upcoming Month. This Gathering Fuel percentage shall be
based on actual usage during periods of normal operation of the
Gathering System during the previous Month, but may be adjusted by LMM
when necessary to improve accuracy. LMM may utilize fuel percentages
based on estimated use for any new Gathering System that has not been
in operation for a full Month, which may be adjusted when necessary to
improve accuracy and subject to the true up process described herein.
On a Monthly basis, LMM shall adjust the Gathering Fuel percentage to
equal the actual use of Gathering Fuel in the preceding Month.
	 
	 	 	 	In the event LMM utilizes electric power in lieu of gas fuel for operation of any of the LMM
Facilities, Shipper’s fuel for such facility shall then be eighty-four percent (84%) of Shipper’s
pro rata share of such power required, and shall be billed in addition to other fuel requirements
or fees hereunder.
	 
	 	1.4	 	Gathering System Pressures. LMM shall make commercially reasonable
efforts to maintain the Gathering System pressures for Shipper’s Gas
received by LMM. LMM acknowledges that third parties may own and
control Gas upstream of the compression facilities and that LMM shall,
despite such third party Gas, make such effort to maintain the system
pressures. In the event that LMM fails to maintain or fails to take
action to maintain the Gathering System pressures as set forth in the
Expansion Proposal, as such Expansion Proposal may be modified
pursuant to Section 2.6(b), for thirty (30) Days in any forty-five
(45) Day period, then, at Shipper’s election, (x) Shipper may
construct such improvements as Shipper may deem necessary to remedy
LMM’s failure to maintain the Gathering System pressures as set forth
in the Expansion Proposal as may be modified pursuant to Section
2.6(b), in which case all Gas gathered through such improvement (which
improvement shall be the sole property of Shipper) shall be Gathered
by LMM at the Reduced Rate, or (y) each Well constrained by LMM’s
failure and all Gas produced from such Well will no longer be subject
to this Agreement. In the calculation of Gathering System pressures,
LMM may exclude any Day when any of the following conditions occur
(“Excluded Days”): (i) Force Majeure, (ii) Maintenance, or (iii) when
Shipper’s Gas exceeds Shipper’s MDQ or does not meet the Gas Quality
requirements in Exhibit “A” part C. For avoidance of doubt, no
Excluded Days will be counted for purposes of determining the thirty
(30) Day or forty-five (45) Day periods described above.
	 
	 	1.5	 	Full Capacity Area. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, for a period of *** years after the Effective Date, LMM
hereby reserves for the sole benefit of the Shippers one hundred
percent (100%) of the capacity of the Gathering System (as currently
existing and in the future expanded) in the following townships
located in ***, Pennsylvania: ***.

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 6

	2.	 	SERVICE OPTIONS

	 	2.1	 	Increasing the MDQ. If it appears that the Daily quantity of Shipper’s
Gas exceeds or is likely to exceed the MDQ, then Shipper shall provide
LMM with such written information as necessary to confirm the amount
by which the Daily quantity of Shipper’s Gas exceeds or is likely to
exceed the MDQ (“Excess Quantity”) and shall request in writing an
increase in the MDQ equal to the Excess Quantity. Failure of Shipper
to give such written information and request to LMM shall not impair
LMM’s option under this Section 2.1. LMM shall have the option to
increase the MDQ by the Excess Quantity which it shall exercise, if at
all, by providing written notice thereof to Shipper within ten (10)
Business Days after LMM receives Shipper’s written information and
request to increase the MDQ or at any time if Shipper does not give
LMM such written information and request. If LMM determines that
additional facilities will need to be constructed to increase the MDQ,
then LMM shall deliver an Expansion Proposal (as defined in Section
2.6(a)) within thirty (30) Days of the date on which LMM was to have
delivered written notice of the exercise of its option to increase the
MDQ and thereafter, such Expansion Proposal will be subject to the
terms of Section 2.6 and the applicable Project shall be deemed
complete and the remaining drilling shall be deemed to be a new
Project (as defined in Section 2.6(a)). If LMM exercises this option,
then this Agreement shall be unilaterally amended by LMM to increase
the MDQ by the Excess Quantity effective LMM the date LMM completes
all facilities necessary to Gather the Excess Quantity on a Guaranteed
Capacity basis. If LMM declines to exercise this option after
receiving Shipper’s written information and request to increase the
MDQ the Excess Quantity shall be released from dedication to LMM for
Gathering under this Agreement.
	 
	 	2.2	 	Decreasing the MDQ. LMM may decrease the MDQ any time after this
Agreement has been in effect for three (3) years if the average of
Shipper’s Scheduled Nominations on a Daily basis over the ninety (90)
Days immediately preceding fails to equal at least eighty percent
(80%) of the MDQ. LMM shall provide written notice of the new MDQ to
Shipper at least ten (10) Business Days before affecting the decrease,
which notice by LMM shall unilaterally amend this Agreement on the
eleventh (11th) Business Day after delivery or the date
specified in the notice, whichever is later. In no event shall the
new MDQ be lower than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the
average of Shipper’s Scheduled Nominations on a Daily basis over the
ninety (90) Days immediately preceding.
	 
	 	2.3	 	LMM’s Obligation and Option to Receive Shipper’s Gas from Future Wells
in the Area of Interest.

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 7

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

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

	 	(a)	 	Existing Wells. If the Subsequently Acquired Gas is to be produced
from an existing well that is not subject to previously existing
dedication, then Shipper shall give LMM such written notice at least
ten (10) Business Days (a “Business Day” is any Day that is not a
Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday) prior to the Subsequently
Acquired Gas being produced for Shipper’s account. Failure of Shipper
to so notify LMM shall not impair LMM’s option under this Section 2.4.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Gas Not Subject to Previously Existing Dedication. If the
Subsequently Acquired Gas is not subject to previously existing
dedication and is from a Connectable Well, such well shall be
connected to the Gathering System consistent with the provisions of
Section 2.3(a) above. If the Subsequently Acquired Gas is not
subject to previously existing dedication but is from an Expansion
Well, then such Expansion Well will be subject to the provisions of
Section 2.3(b), above.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Gas Subject to Previously Existing Dedication. If the Subsequently
Acquired Gas is subject to a previously existing dedication to a Third
Party Gathering System at the time Shipper acquires the Gas, Shipper
shall give LMM an additional *** Days’ written notice preceding the
expiration or termination of the primary term of the previously
existing dedication. *** Subsequently Acquired Gas as described in
this paragraph 2.4(c) shall be connected to the Gathering System at
LMM’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, the cost
of any Flow Line), which cost and expense will not be subject to the
provisions of Section 2.8, below.

	 	PAGE 8

	 	2.5	 	Acquisition of Target Business.

	 	(a)	 	If Shipper identifies a possible acquisition of interests in
production or acreage that would fall within the Area of Interest,
whether by acquiring assets or equity interests with respect thereto
(a “Target Business”), and if the Gas from the interests in the Target
Business is gathered by a Producer System (“Gathering Assets”) that
will be acquired in connection with Shipper’s proposed acquisition of
the Target Business (the “Proposed Acquisition”), Shipper shall give
LMM written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of the Proposed Acquisition as
soon as practicable, but in any event not less than *** Days prior to
making any binding offer in respect of the Proposed Acquisition. The
Offer Notice shall identify (i) the Gathering Assets, (ii) the
proposed seller of the Gathering Assets, (iii) the anticipated
schedule to be followed in the Proposed Acquisition transaction,
including, without limitation, the date on which Shipper intends to
make its offer in respect of the Proposed Acquisition (as determined
by Shipper, but in any event such anticipated offer date shall be no
earlier than *** Days from the date of the Offer Notice) and (iv) any
other information that may be necessary for the parties to evaluate
whether to jointly pursue the Proposed Acquisition (for the avoidance
of doubt, LMM shall have no right to pursue any Proposed Acquisition
separately from Shipper absent the prior written consent of Shipper,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Not less than *** Days
prior to the date identified by Shipper as the date Shipper will make
its offer in respect of the Proposed Acquisition, LMM shall notify
Shipper of whether it has elected to offer to participate in the
Proposed Acquisition and the terms of LMM’s offer (including, without
limitation, if there is no gathering fee and no allocation by seller
upon which to determine a gathering fee for Gas Gathered on the
Gathering Assets following the closing of the Proposed Acquisition,
LMM’s proposed gathering fee for the time period following the closing
of the Proposed Acquisition); failure by LMM to timely make an offer
to participate shall be deemed to be an election by LMM not to
participate in the Proposed Acquisition. Shipper may either accept or
reject LMM’s timely offer in its sole discretion. If LMM elects not
to participate, then LMM shall not have any rights in respect of the
Proposed Acquisition or the Target Business.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In the event the nature of the Proposed Acquisition requires that an
offer be made by Shipper before the expiration of *** Days from the
date of Shipper’s Offer Notice, Shipper shall include such statement
in its Offer Notice, and Shipper and LMM shall attempt to negotiate a
shorter time period by which LMM has to elect to participate in the
Proposed Acquisition. If the parties cannot agree on a shorter time
period, Shipper shall have the right to proceed with its offer,
provided that if Shipper is successful in acquiring the Target
Business, LMM and Shipper may, following Shipper’s closing on the
Target business, continue to discuss under what terms LMM may be
allowed to purchase the Producer System that is part of the Target
Business.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Exception for Marcellus Shale Formation Gas. Any Gas produced from
the Marcellus Shale formation from wells spudded following Shipper’s
acquisition of the Target Business and within the acreage acquired as
part of the acquisition of the Target Business shall be subject to the
dedication described in Section 1.1 above.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Limitation on Operation of Gathering Assets by Shipper. In the event
that LMM does not participate with Shipper in a given Proposed
Acquisition pursuant to this Section 2.5, Shipper may acquire, own and
operate such Gathering Assets; provided, that Shipper (i) may utilize
such Gathering Assets solely to gather Gas produced from wells on the
acreage acquired by Shipper in the related Proposed Acquisition and
may not transport any third-party volumes through such Gathering
Assets except to the extent that such third-party Gas was being
transported on the Gathering Assets prior Shipper’s acquisition of the
Gathering Assets, and (ii) may not expand or improve the operating
capacity of such Gathering Assets except to the extent necessary to
Gather Shipper’s Gas from the acreage acquired as part of Shipper’s
acquisition of the Target Business.

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 9

	 	2.6	 	Gathering System Expansions.

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

	 	(i)	 	accept the recommendations as presented in an Expansion Proposal, in
which case LMM shall proceed with the development and construction of
the Expansion as described in the Expansion Proposal, and Shippers
shall be liable for the recovery of the costs to construct the
facilities as set forth in Section 2.8, above; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	reject the recommendations as presented in an Expansion Proposal, and
instead propose an alternative(s) to the recommendations as proposed.
If Shippers propose an alternative to the recommended facilities and
construction plan, LMM shall have the option, within *** Business
Days to either:

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 10

	 	(c)	 	If LMM fails to construct the Expansion in accordance with the
schedule described in the Expansion Proposal as such Expansion
Proposal may be modified pursuant to Section 2.6(b), above, then after
a well is ultimately connected, Shipper shall pay the Reduced Fee for
a period that equals ***. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such well
remains unconnected for *** Days beyond the scheduled completion date,
then Shipper will have the option to either connect the well to the
Gathering System at its own cost and expense and pay the Reduced Fee
thereafter or such gas shall be released from dedication hereunder.
	 
	 	(d)	 	If the constructed Expansion materially fails to perform in accordance
with the Expansion Proposal, as the Expansion Proposal may be modified
pursuant to Section 2.6(b), above, but excluding failures by LMM to
maintain the Gathering System pressures as set forth in the Expansion
Proposal, as such Expansion Proposal may be modified pursuant to
Section 2.6(b), for which Shipper would be covered under Section 1.4,
then Shipper shall pay the Reduced Fee during any period of such
nonperformance and thereafter return to the Gathering Fee set forth in
Exhibit “E”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such expansion
continues to materially fail to perform for *** Days in the aggregate
in any *** Day period, then Shipper will have the option to either (i)
continue to cause Gas to be Gathered through the nonperforming
expansion into the Gathering System at the Reduced Fee during the time
of nonperformance, (ii) construct at its own cost and expense a
separate connection to the Gathering System to Gather the Gas that the
nonperformance of the expansion stranded from the Gathering System,
and pay the Reduced Fee with respect to such Gas, or (iii) remove such
Gas from the dedication.

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 11

	 	2.8	 	Recovery of Costs.

	 	(a)	 	If LMM connects an Expansion Well to the Gathering System in
accordance with Section 2.6, and after the *** Months following the
connection (“Recovery Period”), to the extent LMM’s Actual Cost
exceeds the Recovered Cost (as defined below), LMM shall be entitled
to recover its Actual Cost from Shipper. LMM’s “Recovered Cost” shall
be determined by multiplying the allocated volumes of Gas from
Shippers and third parties, in Dth, Gathered by LMM during the
Recovery Period by the Gathering Fee and multiply that product by ***.
If at the end of the Recovery Period the Recovered Cost is less than
the Actual Cost, Shipper shall, within *** Days of the receipt of a
statement from LMM detailing LMM’s Actual Cost, pay LMM an amount
equal to the difference between the Actual Cost and the Recovered
Cost, with such difference being divided by ***, to the extent that
Shipper does not dispute LMM’s calculation of its Actual Cost. If
this Agreement should terminate or expire prior to the end of the
Recovery Period for the well and the Recovered Cost through such
termination or expiration is less than the Actual Cost, Shipper shall,
within *** Days of the receipt of a statement from LMM, pay LMM an
amount equal to the difference between the Actual Cost and the
Recovered Cost, to the extent that Shipper does not dispute LMM’s
calculation of its Actual Cost. For purposes of this Section 2.8,
“Actual Cost” shall be defined as the actual third-party costs
incurred by LMM to connect the Expansion Well, but shall be limited to
the facilities on and installation of pipeline *** inches (***”) in
diameter or less upstream of any compression facilities on the
Gathering System.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Shipper shall make a good faith effort to timely complete each
Project. In the event LMM has incurred costs building an Expansion to
connect a Project, which costs are not otherwise subject to Section
2.8(a), and if Shipper fails to complete such Project in good faith,
then LMM shall have the right to recover its direct costs allocated to
Shipper in accordance with Section 2.6(a) incurred in connection with
building the Expansion for the Project, as described in Section
2.8(a), subject to LMM’s obligation to mitigate such costs.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, LMM shall have the right to recover its
costs as described in this Section 2.8(b) in the event Shipper does
not complete a Project due to any reason other than (i) an adverse
change in the economics of the Project, (ii) an event of Force
Majeure, including without limitation and in addition to any other
definition of Force Majeure herein, regulatory limitations,
deficiencies in title or other impediments to access, inability to
market gas (provided such inability is outside the reasonable control
of Shipper and can be cured at reasonable cost to Shipper), gas
quality, or unexpected geological conditions, or (iii) any act of or
failure to act by LMM. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “an
adverse change in the economics of the Project” shall mean that the
Project, as set forth in the relevant Drilling Plan and modified as
required by then-current assumptions relating to operating parameters,
Gas pricing and other considerations adversely affecting the Project,
does not have a positive after-tax net present value (i) when the
analysis is performed using the criteria outlined in Exhibit “H”, (ii)
using a *** percent (***%) discount rate and (iii) using a per annum
Gas price assumption equal to the average *** price adjusted for any
basis differential then in effect at the time of determination fixed
for the useful life of each well in the Project.

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

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 12

	 	2.10	 	Shipper’s Liability for Failure to Abide by Dedication. Unless LMM
ultimately declines to exercise any option to connect any well under
this Article 2, or such wells have been released from dedication
pursuant to this Agreement, Shipper shall be liable to LMM for any
and all damages resulting from Shipper’s connection of wells to any
gathering system other than the Gathering System.
	 
	 	2.11	 	Initial Drilling Plan and Initial Connection Plan. The parties agree
that the initial Drilling Plan attached hereto as Exhibit “I-1” and
the initial connection plan attached hereto as Exhibit “I-2” (the
“Initial Connection Plan”) establish the preliminary, to-be-agreed
upon activities and schedule for the period described therein (for
the avoidance of doubt, and not withstanding anything else in this
Agreement to the contrary, Exhibits “I-1” and “I-2” need not
necessarily cover a twelve (12) Month period). Those portions of the
Initial Connection Plan addressing Expansion Wells (if any), shall be
deemed to be a timely given and fully accepted Expansion Proposal for
the period described in Exhibit “I-2” once such Initial Connection
Plan is mutually agreed upon by the parties.

	3.	 	CONDITIONING OF GAS

	 	3.1	 	Gas Failing to Meet Certain Specifications. In the event that
Shipper’s Gas does not meet the quality specifications set forth in
Exhibit “A”, part C of this Agreement, LMM shall, without cost to
Shipper or LMM, blend such Gas with existing production so that the
Gas meets the applicable specifications or, in the event blending does
not resolve the issue, LMM may shut in the well or wells from which
the off-specification Gas is produced and provide Shipper with a
temporary release from dedication under this Agreement with respect to
such wells.
	 
	 	3.2	 	Installation of Conditioning Facilities by LMM. LMM shall provide
written notice to Shipper within *** Days following the receipt of all
information that LMM has reasonably requested that Shipper provide
(which request shall be made within *** Business Days of the Day on
which the well or wells were shut-in pursuant to Section 3.1 above) to
evaluate whether the construction of facilities or the utilization of
existing available facilities (either owned by LMM or by any third
party) is necessary to bring Gas back into the required
specifications. If LMM fails to timely provide notice to Shipper as
set forth above, Shipper’s Gas which has been shut in shall be
released from dedication hereunder. In the event LMM elects to
construct and operate conditioning facilities to handle the
off-specification Gas, or otherwise utilizes existing available
facilities, LMM may choose on a well-by-well basis to condition the
Gas either (a) on a Dth/keep whole basis, in which case LMM shall
retain the natural gas liquids processed from Shipper’s Gas and will
make available for Shipper’s account one hundred percent (100%) of
Shipper’s allocated plant inlet Dth at the Delivery Point(s) (in which
case, LMM shall install sampling mechanisms at each plant inlet and
draw samples from the Gas at each plant inlet at least semi-annually,
and Shipper shall also have access to such sampling mechanisms to draw
samples in its discretion) or (b) for a fee, which conditioning fee
shall be sixteen percent (16%) of the sale of the processed natural
gas liquids. If LMM elects to condition Shipper’s Gas on a keep whole
basis, as described above, and if gas is unavailable for LMM to
deliver to Shipper’s account in order to keep Shipper whole, then LMM
may make payment to Shipper to account for the dekatherms of Shipper’s
Gas that were shrunk out of the processing of Shipper’s Gas with
reference to pricing and volumes at the relevant Delivery Point;
provided, however, that in no event shall LMM remove natural gas
liquids to the extent that Shippers’ Gas delivered at any Delivery
Point is below the minimum heating value specification, if any,
required by the Interconnecting Pipeline at such Delivery Point.
Regardless of the conditioning option chosen by or for LMM, Shipper
shall continue to pay the Gathering Fee on the Gas conditioned.
	 
	 	3.3	 	Failure by LMM to Condition. LMM shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to diligently pursue installation of conditioning facilities
or the use of existing facilities (including third party facilities)
where such installation or utilization has been determined to be
necessary. If, after the later of (a) *** Months of the wells first
being subject to temporary release, or (b) *** Months after receiving
the required permits for the installation of conditioning facilities,
the wells are still subject to temporary release as set forth in
Section 3.1, above, and LMM is not conditioning all of the
off-specification Gas in order to bring the Gas in compliance with the
applicable specifications set forth in Exhibit “A”, part C, the wells
which are producing the off-specification Gas shall be permanently
released from dedication hereunder upon written notice from Shipper.

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 13

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

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

	 	 	 	Regardless of the processing option chosen by LMM, Shipper shall continue to pay the Gathering Fee
on the Gas processed.
	 
	 	 	 	If LMM elects to not process Shippers’ Gas for wells associated with the proposed Project, then
Shippers may seek processing services from a third party provider, and the Gas associated with that
Project shall be released from dedication hereunder.

	4.	 	ELECTRONIC FLOW MEASUREMENT

	 	4.1	 	EFM Service Commitment. At Shippers’ expense, Shippers shall
install, maintain, calibrate, own and operate electronic flow
measurement (“EFM”) on all new well connects. LMM shall have the
right to specify the type of EFM installed provided that the EFM
specified is in general use in the industry.
	 
	 	4.2	 	EFM Equipment and Installation Specifications. All EFM installed by
Shippers shall remain the property of Shippers. The EFM so installed
shall comply with the specifications set forth in API MPMS Chapter
21.1, all applicable API codes and regulations and all applicable
regulatory requirements.
	 
	 	4.3	 	Operational Data Access. Shipper shall have access to operational EFM
data from EFM sites via LMM’s AMIGO data interface system or file
transfer. LMM shall update the operational EFM data approximately
hourly. Such operational data shall include meter identification,
date, time, gas temperature, static pressure, differential pressure,
total Mcf for the current Month, average Mcf per Day for the current
Month, instantaneous Mcf per Day and cumulative flows for the previous
twenty-four (24) hour period. The parties hereto recognize and accept
that such operational EFM data may differ from the actual data used
for custody transfer purposes.

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 14

	 	4.4	 	Maintenance of EFM Equipment. Shippers shall be responsible for the
maintenance and operation of the EFM equipment at each EFM Site.
Shippers’ maintenance and operations shall conform to the
specifications set forth in API MPMS Chapter 21.1 and all applicable
regulatory requirements.
	 
	 	4.5	 	[Intentionally Deleted]
	 
	 	4.6	 	[Intentionally Deleted]
	 
	 	4.7	 	LMM’s Use of Shipper’s Radio Facilities. LMM and Shipper recognize
that certain radio transmission limitations may exist in the area
where many EFM Sites are located and that LMM’s use of existing LMM
radio towers may not access all of Shippers’ EFM Sites. To provide
the EFM service contemplated herein, Shipper will allow LMM to utilize
Shipper’s radio facilities, excluding the use of the actual radio
frequencies, for the sole purpose of receiving and/or transmitting EFM
data; provided, however, that such use does not cause interference in
Shipper’s radio reception or transmission. LMM shall provide its own
electrical power source if Shipper’s radio facilities are not served
by a commercial power utility. LMM shall secure all local, state and
federal permits required for the operation of such radio systems.
	 
	 	4.8	 	Exclusion of Certain Damages Related to EFM. Neither party shall be
liable to the other party for any special, incidental, exemplary or
consequential damages arising from, or as a result of, any delay,
omission or error in the transmission or receipt of any information
pursuant to this Section 4.8 even if either party has been advised of
the possibility of such damages, and regardless of fault.

	5.	 	STATEMENTS AND PAYMENT

	 	5.1	 	Report and Statement by Shipper. Where CTM is not being performed by
LMM, Shipper shall report to LMM (a) the Day(s) of production, the
Month and year in which such production is to be recognized, Mcf
pressure base, Btu pressure base, Daily Mcf, Daily Btu, Daily Dth and
quality of Shipper’s Gas and (b) the Gross Sales Price (as defined in
Exhibit “E”) and the amount and calculation of any Gathering Fee
determined using the Gross Sales Price, together with reasonable and
appropriate supporting documentation. Such report shall be
transmitted to LMM electronically or via facsimile on or before the
*** Business Day of each Month for Shipper’s Gas delivered to LMM
during the preceding Month. Shipper shall also send to LMM via mail
on or before the *** Business Day of each Month a written statement
confirming such report. Any adjustments to such report shall be sent
as a net adjustment identified by the Day of production. LMM may
request an additional Monthly electronic audit file with all of the
hourly, daily, configuration and event/alarm data.
	 
	 	5.2	 	Statement by LMM. On or before the *** Day of each Month, LMM shall
send Shipper electronically and/or via mail a statement setting forth
the following:

	 	(a)	 	The number of Dth of Shipper’s Gas received by LMM at the Receipt
Point(s) during the preceding Month;
	 
	 	(b)	 	The number of Dth delivered by LMM for Shipper’s account to the
Delivery Point(s) during the preceding Month;

	7.	 	ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS

	 	7.1	 	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and,
subject to the limitations on transfer hereafter provided, inure to
the benefit of the respective, successors and assigns of the parties,
and this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof shall
constitute covenants running with the land.
	 
	 	7.2	 	Restrictions on Assignment. Except as expressly provided in this
Article and in Section 1.1 above, no Party may transfer this Agreement
or any of its rights hereunder or interest(s) in the leases dedicated
hereunder. Any transfer or attempted transfer not in accordance with
this Agreement shall be wholly void and shall not be recognized for

and a party hereto just as if no attempted transfer had been made, and
all of the parties shall continue to deal with the party purporting to
transfer to the exclusion of the purported transferee.
	 
	 	7.3	 	Permitted Transfers by LMM. Subject to compliance with Section 6.5

	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 16

	 	7.4	 	Permitted Transfers by Shippers. Except for acreage swaps described
in Section 1.1(d) above, and subject to compliance with Section 7.5
herein, (i) a Shipper may transfer any of its rights, titles and
interests under this Agreement and in the Gas subject to dedication
hereunder to an Affiliate without the prior approval of LMM, and (ii)
a Shipper may transfer all, but not less than all, of its rights,
titles and interests under this Agreement and in the leases subject to
dedication hereunder to a person that is not an Affiliate upon the
prior written consent of LMM, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned nor delayed; provided, in no event may a Shipper
make any transfer of this Agreement or its interest in the Gas subject
to dedication hereunder which would have the effect of separating the
rights and obligations of such Shipper hereunder from such Shipper’s
ownership of its interest in the Gas dedicated hereunder.
	 
	 	7.5	 	Other Conditions for Transfer. Except for acreage swaps described in
Section 1.1(d) above, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section
7.3 and 7.4, no transfer of any interest hereunder shall be effective
or recognized unless the transferee expressly assumes and agrees to
discharge all of the obligations of the transferor under this
Agreement applicable to the party whose interest is transferred. Any
such assumption and agreement to discharge shall be by appropriate
written instrument for the express benefit of, and enforceable by, LMM
(in the case of a transfer by a Shipper) or by the Shippers (in the
case of a transfer by LMM), as may be applicable. If a transfer fully
complies with all of the requirements of this Section, the transferor
party shall be relieved of all obligations and liabilities under this
Agreement pertaining to the period after the effective date of such
transfer, but in no event shall the transferor party be relieved of
any obligations under this Agreement pertaining to the period prior to
the effective date of such transfer. No transfer by a party shall be
binding or effective upon the other parties until the first Day of the
Month next following receipt of written notice of such transfer by all
other parties, together with transferor’s and transferee’s compliance
with all other terms and provisions of this Section 7.5.
	 
	 	7.6	 	Definition and Other Provisions. For the purposes of this Section 7,
“transfer” shall include any sale, assignment or other transfer,
whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise,
provided it shall not include the grant of a lien or security interest
on a Shipper’s interest hereunder so long as the same shall remain
inferior to the rights of LMM, but it shall include any transfer by
reason of foreclosure or other realization upon such lien and security
interest.

	 	10.2	 	Change of Control Exception. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, including the foregoing, if there is a change of
control of any Shipper, then, all liabilities hereunder shall be
several, and not joint as between any such Shipper and any other
Shipper for which there is a change of control, and as between any
such Shipper and any Shipper not subject to a change in control if
such liability arises after the change of control.
	 
	 	10.3	 	Definition of Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term “change of control” means the occurrence of any of the
following: (i) the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly,
beneficially or of record, by any “person” (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of equity
interests representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate
ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding
equity interests of a Shipper; (ii) the adoption of a plan relating
to the liquidation or dissolution of a Shipper; (iii) Atlas America,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, and/or one or more of its directly or
indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries ceases to own more than fifty

within a period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar Months,
individuals who were board members of a Shipper on the first Day of
such period or persons who were appointed or nominated by such
persons shall cease to constitute a majority of the board members of
that Shipper.
	 
	 	10.4	 	Exception for Sale of Shipper Interests Subject to Dedication. If a
Shipper assigns to a non-Affiliate third party interests that are
subject to the dedication described in Section 1.1 of this Agreement,
then all liabilities hereunder shall be several and not joint as
between Shippers and any such third party shall be several and not
joint if such liability arises after such assignment.

written notice to Shipper.

	B.	 	OPERATING PROVISIONS

	 	B.1	 	 Operational Control. LMM shall be entitled complete operational
control of its facilities (including the operation and configuration
of the Gathering System) and shall operate its facilities in a
commercially reasonable manner that is consistent with its obligations
under this Agreement and its operational (including without limitation
environmental and safety) policies and procedures. However, this
Section B.1 shall not be interpreted to relieve LMM of its obligations
under this Agreement.
	 
	 	B.2 	 	Maintenance. LMM shall, without liability, except as specified
herein, be entitled to perform such maintenance, testing, alteration,
modification, repair or replacement of the Gathering System, or any
part thereof, as would be done (including prior written notice, as
applicable) by a prudent operator (“Maintenance”), even if it requires
the allocation of capacity pursuant to Section B.4.
	 
	 	B.3	 	 Force Majeure. Except with respect to the obligation to pay amounts
owing hereunder, neither LMM nor Shipper shall be liable in damages or
otherwise to the other for inability to perform any obligation under
this Agreement, including without limitation any obligation associated
with the failure to meet any deadline established herein, due to an
event of Force Majeure. Without limitation of the foregoing, any
deadline otherwise established by this Agreement shall be extended for
the same amount of time during which LMM’s or Shipper’s performance
(as applicable) was prevented by an event of Force Majeure. As used
herein, the term “Force Majeure” shall mean any act, omission, or
circumstances occasioned by or in consequence of any Acts of God,
blockades, insurrections, riots, epidemics, flood, washouts,
landslides, mudslides, earthquakes, unusually severe weather
conditions, threat of hurricanes and tropical storms, lightning, civil
disturbances, war, explosions, mechanical failure, structural failure,
breakage of or accident to machinery, line of pipe, platform or wells,
the inability or failure of downstream or upstream pipelines to
deliver or receive, the order of any court or governmental authority
having jurisdiction or any change in any applicable regulation
materially affecting the operation of the facilities or any other
cause of a similar nature (provided that such order or change in
regulation was not sought or supported by the party claiming
suspension), whether of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise, not
reasonably within the control of the Party claiming suspension, not
contributed to by the negligence of, willful misconduct by, or breach
of this Agreement by the party claiming suspension, and which by the
exercise of due diligence such Party is unable to prevent or overcome.
Failure to prevent or settle any strike or strikes shall not be
considered a matter within the control of the Party claiming
suspension. With regard to the installation of new facilities or
modifications to existing facilities, delay or inability to obtain any
necessary permits or rights-of-way from a regulatory agency or
landowner after an application or request by a party shall be deemed
to be a Force Majeure event, provided that party has given reasonable
notice of any planned suspension of service to Shipper. Force Majeure
shall not relieve either Party of liability in the event of its
concurring negligence and shall only relieve the non-performing party
from liability for failure to perform under this Agreement for so long
as such party is making reasonable efforts to remedy the situation.
Force Majeure shall not relieve either party of its obligation to pay
money due under this Agreement.

	 	PAGE 5

	 	B.4	 	 Allocation of Capacity. Notwithstanding any other term of this
Agreement, if for any Day LMM determines that the capacity of its
Gathering System is constrained, LMM shall allocate the available
capacity as follows:

	 	(a)	 	Capacity shall first be allocated pro rata to all shippers with
Guaranteed Capacity based upon the lower of their respective (i)
Maximum Daily Quantities, (ii) Available Supplies or (iii) Adjusted
Available Supplies; (to the extent such terms apply to any shipper)
and
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any remaining capacity shall be allocated pro rata to all shippers
with Non-Guaranteed Capacity based upon the lower of their respective
(i) Maximum Daily Quantities, (ii) Available Supplies or (iii)
Adjusted Available Supplies.

However, if LMM can identify the location of the constraint, then LMM shall endeavor to impose such
allocation upon only those shippers whose Gas is affected by the constraint.

For purposes of this Section B.4, “Available Supplies” shall mean the number of Dth of Gas that a
shipper will make available at each Receipt Point for the account of that shipper, through
nomination to the Gathering System, and “Adjusted Available Supplies” shall mean an Available
Supply that may be adjusted by LMM to the extent LMM finds the nominated Available Supply
inaccurate.

Each Day during which LMM allocates Shipper’s capacity as provided in this Section B.4 will be
counted as one of the thirty (30) out of forty-five (45) Days for purposes of invoking Supplier’s
remedies pursuant to Section 1.4 of the Agreement. If at any time during the term of this
Agreement LMM enters into any agreement with any third party to Gather such third party’s Gas on
the Gathering System and such agreement includes an allocation of capacity provision more favorable
to such third party than the capacity allocation provision then applicable to Shipper (“Third Party
Allocation Provision”), LMM shall immediately notify Shipper of same and Shipper shall have the
option to unilaterally amend this Agreement to adopt the Third Party Allocation Provision.

	 	B.5 	 	Access, Easements and Rights-of-Way. To the extent either party has
the right to allow access by the other party, the party with access
rights shall provide the other party such access to its facilities as
is necessary and convenient for that party to perform its obligations
under this Agreement. To the extent either party has the right to do
so, such party grants to the other party the use of all easements and
rights-of-way held by that party that are necessary and convenient for
the other party to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Such
use shall include, but not be limited to, those rights under Shipper’s
oil and Gas lease(s) to construct, operate, and maintain pipelines and
appurtenant facilities for the purpose of Gathering Gas from the
leasehold, and any rights of way held by LMM. Each party shall be
responsible for maintaining its access, easements and rights-of-way at
its sole cost and expense, provided that the party relying on another
party’s access rights shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
other party against any and all claims or liabilities for damages
arising from their access to any site.
	 
	 	B.6	 	 Shipper’s Delivery Pressure. As long as pressures in the Gathering
System do not exceed the pressures described in the applicable
Expansion Proposal, Shipper shall deliver Shipper’s Gas to the Receipt
Point(s) at pressure(s) sufficient to cause it to enter LMM’s
facilities, however, such pressure(s) shall not exceed the Maximum
Allowable Operating Pressure of LMM’s facilities (“LMM’s MAOP”).
LMM’s MAOP for a given facility may be revised from time to time by
LMM in its sole discretion. Except as provided in Section 1, LMM is
not obligated to modify the pressure(s) in its facilities in order to
cause the entry of Shipper’s Gas into its facilities. Shipper shall
equip its compression equipment, if any, with:

	 	(a)	 	over pressurization protection devices in accordance with ANSI B31.8
to prevent delivery pressure in excess of LMM’s MAOP;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Gas cooling to prevent delivery temperatures in excess of 120° F into
LMM’s facilities; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	pulsation dampening equipment, as necessary, to minimize pulsation
induced measurement errors to less than two percent (2%) peak-to-peak
square root error.

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 6

	 	B.7	 	 LMM’s Delivery Pressure. If the pressure downstream of a Delivery
Point (the “Downstream Pressure”) is increased such that it constrains
LMM’s ability to deliver Gas through that Delivery Point at whatever
pressure then exists in LMM’s facilities, then, if such Downstream
Pressure was increased:

	 	(a)	 	without any agreement by Shipper with the Interconnecting Pipeline to
cause such increase, within ten (10) Days of such increase in the
Downstream Pressure, LMM shall provide notice to Shipper: (i) that LMM
shall, within thirty (30) Days of such notice, initiate and
diligently pursue modifications to the Gathering System at LMM’s
expense to increase the pressure at such Delivery Point to an amount
sufficient to deliver Gas through such Delivery Point up to the MDQ;
or (ii) authorizing Shipper to make such modifications. If Shipper
makes such modifications, then Shipper shall own such modifications
and shall pay the Reduced Fee for all of Shipper’s Gas thereafter
Gathered through such Delivery Point; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	as a result of any agreement with the Interconnecting Pipeline to
which Shipper is party, then Shipper shall pay its pro rata share
(taking into account any third parties delivering Gas through such
Delivery Point) of LMM’s actual reasonable costs in making such
modifications as may be necessary to cause Gas to be delivered through
such Delivery Point up to the MDQ, and Shipper shall continue to pay
the Gathering Fee for deliveries through such Delivery Point.

	C.	 	GAS QUALITY

	 	C.1 	 	Gas Quality at Delivery Points. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement:

	 	(a)	 	Shipper’s Gas at the Delivery Point(s) shall conform to the quality
specifications required from time to time by the Interconnecting
Pipelines.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If at any time Shipper’s Gas at the Delivery Point(s) fails to conform
to such quality specifications, Shipper may seek waivers of such
quality specifications from the Interconnecting Pipelines and LMM, as
reasonably requested by Shipper, shall cooperate in a reasonable
manner in Shipper’s efforts to secure such waivers; failing Shipper’s
prompt receipt of such a waiver for any reason, LMM shall give Shipper
written notice of the deficiency and Shipper shall immediately remedy
the deficiency.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If Shipper fails to immediately remedy the deficiency, LMM may refuse
to accept further deliveries of Shipper’s Gas that is causing the
deficiency at the Delivery Point.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Shipper shall be responsible for all damages to the Gathering System,
including costs of repair, due to its failure to comply with this
Section C.1.

	 	C.2	 	 Removal of Liquefiable Hydrocarbons in the Field. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, Shipper’s Gas shall not be processed for
removal of liquefiable hydrocarbons prior to its receipt by LMM at the
Receipt Point(s) other than by the use of conventional mechanical
liquid-Gas separators operated at or above ambient temperatures.
Shipper shall own and be responsible for any liquid hydrocarbons
removed by this method from Shipper’s Gas. LMM shall own and be
responsible for any liquid hydrocarbons that condense in the Gathering
System. or are otherwise removed between the Receipt Point and the
Delivery Point.

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 7

	 	C.3	 	 Water Disposal. LMM shall Dehydrate Shipper’s Gas as necessary and
dispose of Shipper’s water by evaporation. If evaporating Shipper’s
water is ever disallowed for any reason or is deemed to be uneconomic
by LMM, Shipper shall make alternate arrangements to dispose of
Shipper’s water at Shipper’s sole cost and expense and Shipper shall
reimburse LMM for any costs incurred by LMM in delivering Shipper’s
water. Except to the extent caused by LMM’s negligence or willful
misconduct, Shipper shall release, indemnify and defend LMM from and
against any and all damages, claims, actions, expenses, penalties and
liabilities, including attorney’s fees, arising from personal injury,
death, property damage, environmental damage, pollution, or
contamination relating to the disposal of Shipper’s water by either
evaporation or the alternate arrangement(s) selected by Shipper.
	 
	 	C.4	 	 CO2 Disposal. To the extent that LMM removes CO2
from Shipper’s Gas or otherwise generates CO2 from
stationary sources which are part of the Gathering System in providing
services to Shipper as set forth herein, and disposes of Shipper’s
CO2 by venting, if venting Shipper’s CO2 is ever
disallowed for any reason, is taxed, or is deemed to be uneconomic by
LMM, Shipper shall make alternate arrangements to dispose of Shipper’s
CO2 at Shipper’s sole cost and expense and shall reimburse
LMM for any costs incurred by LMM in delivering Shipper’s
CO2. Except to the extent caused by LMM’s negligence or
willful misconduct, Shipper shall release, indemnify and defend LMM
from and against any and all damages, claims, actions, expenses,
penalties and liabilities, including attorney’s fees, arising from
personal injury, death, property damage, environmental damage, taxes,
pollution, or contamination relating to the disposal of Shipper’s
CO2 by either venting or the alternate arrangement(s)
selected by Shipper. The foregoing shall not apply to the extent that
LMM takes title to Shipper’s CO2 pursuant to separate
written agreement.
	 
	 	C.5	 	 Gas Quality at Delivery Point(s). Subject to Shipper’s performance
under Section C.1 and Article 3 of this Agreement, Gas delivered by
LMM at the Delivery Point(s) shall conform to the most restrictive
quality specifications required from time to time by the
Interconnecting Pipeline(s).
	 
	 	C.6	 	 Gross Heating Value and Component Analysis. The component analysis
and Gross Heating Value of the Gas shall be determined and calculated
at least semi-annually by whomever is operating the CTM equipment, as
determined in Section D.4, but either party may conduct such analysis
at its discretion and cost. The component analysis and Gross Heating
Value of the Gas shall be based on any of the following at the choice
of the operator of the CTM equipment; spot samples, continuous
samples, or on-line analysis. The component analysis of the Gas shall
be performed by Gas chromatography in accordance with GPA 2261 or any
pertinent revision(s) thereto or replacement(s) thereof. If the
component percentages fall outside the limits of GPA 2261, then the
operator of the CTM equipment shall make a reasonable judgment as to
the accuracy of the component analysis. If neither party objects in
writing to the results within sixty (60) Days after their delivery,
such results shall become conclusive. If either party objects in
writing to the results within sixty (60) Days after their delivery,
then: in the case of spot samples, a re-sampling, redetermination and
recalculation shall be performed by a third party acceptable to both
parties and such third party’s results shall be used; and in the case
of continuous samples or on-line analysis, the analyzer shall be
tested for accuracy according to GPA 2261 and, if warranted, a
recalculation of the components shall be made by a means acceptable to
the parties. The cost of any re-sampling, retesting, redetermination
and/or recalculation shall be borne by the objecting party.
	 
	 	C.7	 	 Correction of Gross Heating Value for Water Vapor. The Gross Heating
Value of the Gas shall be corrected for water vapor content in
accordance with GPA 181 and 2172. Gas having a water vapor content of
greater than *** pounds per MMcf at CTM shall be considered fully
saturated. Gas having a water vapor content of less than or equal to
*** pounds per MMcf at CTM shall be considered dry.
	 
	 	C.8	 	 Computation Factors. The specific gravity of the Gas shall be
calculated by the operator of the CTM equipment and shall be adjusted
for the difference between the specific gravity in the ideal state and
in the real state in accordance with ANSI/API 2530 . The deviation of
the Gas from Boyle’s law shall also be calculated by the operator of
the CTM equipment and shall be determined in accordance with AGA
Transmission Measurement Committee Report No. 8 Both the specific
gravity of the Gas and the deviation of the Gas from Boyles’ law shall
be based on the component analysis obtained pursuant to Section C.6.

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 8

	D.	 	VOLUME

	 	D.1	 	 Determination of Temperature for Volume Calculation. The temperature
of the Gas shall be determined by a temperature recording device
installed by the operator of the CTM equipment in accordance with
ANSI/API 2530 and other industry standards. If the temperature of the
Gas is recorded by chart, the arithmetic average of the temperatures
recorded during periods of Gas flow shall be used in calculating the
Dth.
	 
	 	D.2	 	 Correction of Volume due to Calculation Error. An error in volume
calculation for a given Receipt Point shall be corrected for such
period as the error is determined to have existed, not to exceed one
(1) year. In no event, however, shall LMM be obligated to correct an
error in volume calculation for a given Receipt Point unless it
resulted in an error of greater than *** percent (***%) and *** Dth
per Month at the Receipt Point during the correction period. Such
correction shall only be processed by LMM prospectively with the
current Month’s business based upon Shipper’s current allocation of
the Available Supply at that Receipt Point as provided by Shipper’s
Operator.
	 
	 	D.3	 	 Correction of Volume due to Reallocation by Shipper’s Operator.
Shipper’s Operator shall make prospectively any correction of volume
due to a reallocation of the Available Supply at a given Receipt
Point.
	 
	 	D.4	 	 Custody Transfer Measurement or “CTM”. CTM for any Receipt Point or
Delivery Point in existence as of the Effective Date shall be
performed by whoever is providing CTM at that Receipt point or
Delivery Point as of the Effective Date. For all Receipt Point(s) and
Delivery Point(s) where LMM does not provide CTM and check meters,
Shipper shall make all measurement and Gas quality data from such CTM
and check meters available to LMM. However, if LMM installs CTM
equipment at any Receipt Point or Delivery Point after the Effective
Date, then CTM at that Receipt Point or Delivery Point shall be
performed by LMM. Except as otherwise provided in this Section D, all
CTM and CTM equipment shall comply with ANSI/API 2530. Meter charts
may be rotated as determined by LMM. LMM may install and operate
electronic flow measurement equipment to perform CTM, in which case it
shall be installed and operated in accordance with the applicable
methods and standards that have been approved by the API. When
alternate methods and standards are permitted for low volume wells by
the regulatory agency with jurisdiction, then such alternate methods
and standards shall apply to CTM and CTM equipment serving such low
volume wells.
	 
	 	D.5	 	 Notice of CTM Equipment Tests. Tests of the CTM equipment shall be
performed by the operator of the CTM equipment at least once each
calendar quarter. Where LMM is operating the CTM Equipment, LMM shall
give Shipper’s Operator *** notice of the time and location of any
tests of the CTM equipment so that Shipper’s Operator may be present.
Where Shipper’s Operator is operating the CTM Equipment, Shipper’s
Operator shall give LMM *** notice of the time and location of any
tests of the CTM equipment so that LMM may be present. If the party
not operating the CTM equipment is unsatisfied with the test, it shall
notify the operator of the CTM equipment to perform a retest. The
cost of retesting shall be paid by the party requesting the retest
unless the retest shows a difference between the registration of the
CTM equipment and test instrument of greater than *** percent (***%)
and *** Dth, in which case the cost of retesting shall be paid by the
party who did not request the retest. Any CTM equipment found to be
measuring inaccurately shall be promptly restored to accuracy by the
operator of the CTM equipment.
	 
	 	D.6	 	 Check Meter. Either party may install and operate a check meter at
its own expense to check the CTM equipment. Except as provided in
Section D.7, the readings of the CTM equipment shall govern. The
check meter shall be installed so as not to interfere with the
operation of the CTM equipment. Pulsation filters may be required if
unacceptable square root error or gauge line error shift occurs as a
result of the check meter. If a disagreement arises regarding the
source of pulsation, a third party consultant shall be selected by the
parties to determine the source of the pulsation. The party
responsible for the source of the pulsation shall pay all the
consulting fees and costs associated with identifying and eliminating
the source of the pulsation. Shipper will use the alternate taps on
the meter run for check measurement. If alternate taps do not provide
a viable option, Shipper will seek a variance from the regulatory
entities and LMM to use LMM’s meter taps.

	 	PAGE 9

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

	 	(a)	 	by using the registration of the other party’s check meter if registering accurately; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	by calibration, test, or mathematical calculation if the percentage of
inaccuracy is ascertainable with reasonable certainty; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	by estimating the volume of Gas received by comparison to receipts
during prior Months under similar conditions when the CTM equipment
was registering accurately.

	 	 	 	In no event, however, shall LMM be obligated to correct any volume measurement inaccuracy for given
CTM Equipment unless it resulted in an inaccuracy of greater than *** percent (***%) and *** Dth
per Month at the affected Receipt Point during the correction period. Such correction shall only
be processed by LMM prospectively with the current Month’s business based upon Shipper’s current
allocation of the Available Supply at the affected Receipt Point as provided by Shipper’s Operator.
	 
	 	D.8	 	 Measurement During Periods of CTM Equipment Failure. In the event of
any Force Majeure event which prevents LMM from obtaining or
recovering actual measurement data from the CTM Equipment, LMM shall
have the right to estimate the volume of Gas received by comparison to
receipts during the prior Months under similar conditions until such
time as LMM is again able to obtain accurate data from the CTM
Equipment, but in no event for a period longer than *** Days. Any
estimated volumes relied upon under such circumstances shall be
considered actual volumes for such period of time.

	E.	 	NOMINATIONS AND SCHEDULING

	 	E.1 	 	Available Supply. *** Days prior to the beginning of each Month and
*** Days prior to any change thereof during the Month, Shipper’s
Operator shall submit via LMM’s Nomination System the number of Dth of
Gas that Shipper’s Operator will make available at each Receipt Point
for the account of Shipper (“Available Supply”). For each Day,
Shipper shall submit via LMM’s Nomination System a numerical ranking
of Shipper’s Available Supplies to indicate the priority in which
Shipper desires its Available Supplies to be scheduled for delivery by
LMM (the lower the number the higher the priority). Failure by
Shipper to timely submit such ranking shall result in the receipt of
deliveries from the Available Supplies on a pro rata basis. LMM may
adjust an Available Supply when historical production or current data
from LMM’s Telemetering Facilities suggests that the Available Supply
is inaccurate (“Adjusted Available Supply”).

 

 

 

			
	 	 	 
	GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT (EXPANSION SYSTEM)
	 	PAGE 10

	 	E.2	 	 Daily Nomination Procedure. For each Day Shipper shall submit
nomination(s) via LMM’s Nomination System of the number of Dth of
Shipper’s Gas that Shipper desires LMM to deliver at the Delivery
Point(s). The total of such nomination(s) when combined with
Gathering Fuel and Shrink shall not exceed the MDQ unless LMM
otherwise consents in writing. Multiple nominations shall be
numerically ranked by Shipper to indicate the priority in which
Shipper’s nominations are to be scheduled for delivery by LMM (the
lower the number the higher the priority). Failure by Shipper to rank
its nominations shall result in the scheduling of Shipper’s
nominations on a pro rata basis. Each nomination shall have
sufficient detail to meet the nomination requirements of the
Interconnecting Pipeline to which it is nominated. Any nomination, or
any part thereof, which fails to satisfy all of the foregoing
requirements or such additional or alternate requirements as LMM may
hereafter present to Shipper shall be deemed invalid.

	 	E.3	 	 Scheduling Nominations. Shipper’s valid nomination(s) shall be
scheduled for delivery by LMM to the extent that:

	 	(a)	 	Available Supply(ies) or Adjusted Available Supply(ies) is/are
sufficient to support the nomination(s) plus Gathering Fuel and any
Plant Fuel and Shrink;

	 	(b)	 	LMM has received confirmation request(s) from the appropriate
Interconnecting Pipeline(s); and

	 	(c)	 	LMM has the capacity to provide the level of service specified in Section 1.2.

	 	 	 	Upon being scheduled for delivery by LMM, such nominations shall be referred to herein as
“Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s)”. Shipper may view Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s) through
LMM’s Nomination System.

	 	E.4	 	 Reducing Previously Scheduled Nominations. Whenever an
Interconnecting Pipeline requires LMM to reduce previously scheduled
nominations, LMM shall, without liability, effect such reduction by
reducing pro rata all previously scheduled nominations to that
Interconnecting Pipeline. However, if LMM identifies the shipper(s)
responsible for the reduction being required by the Interconnecting
Pipeline, LMM shall, without liability, endeavor to reduce only the
previously scheduled nominations of the responsible shipper(s).

	F.	 	BALANCING

	 	F.1	 	 Imbalance and Balancing. If the number of Dth of Shipper’s Gas
received by LMM at the Receipt Point(s), after subtracting Gathering
Fuel and any Plant Fuel and Shrink, do not equal Shipper’s Scheduled
Nomination(s), an “Imbalance” exists. If the number of Dth of
Shipper’s Gas received by LMM at the Receipt Point(s), after
subtracting Gathering Fuel and any Plant Fuel and Shrink, are less
than Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s), a “Positive Imbalance” exists.
If the number of Dth of Shipper’s Gas received by LMM at the Receipt
Point(s), after subtracting Gathering Fuel and any Plant Fuel and
Shrink, are greater than Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s), a
“Negative Imbalance” exists. The term “Balance” or “Balancing” refers
to equalizing the number of Dth of Shipper’s Gas received by LMM at
the Receipt Point(s) with the number of Dth constituting Shipper’s
Scheduled Nomination(s) plus Gathering Fuel and any Plant Fuel and
Shrink.
	 
	 	F.2	 	 Daily Balancing. Each Day Shipper shall cause the number of Dth of
Shipper’s Gas being delivered at the Receipt Point(s) to equal as
closely as practicable Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s) plus
Gathering Fuel and any Plant Fuel and Shrink. Whenever the number of
Dth of Shipper’s Gas being delivered at the Receipt Point(s) is
insufficient to support Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s) plus
Gathering Fuel and any Plant Fuel and Shrink, Shipper shall promptly
increase its Daily delivery such that the number of Dth of Shipper’s
Gas being delivered at the Receipt Point(s) equals as closely as
practicable Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s) plus Gathering Fuel and
any Plant Fuel and Shrink. Whenever the number of Dth of Shipper’s
Gas being delivered at the Receipt Point(s) exceeds Shipper’s
Scheduled Nomination(s) plus Gathering Fuel and any Plant Fuel and
Shrink, Shipper shall promptly reduce its Daily delivery such that the
number of Dth of Shipper’s Gas being delivered at the Receipt Point(s)
equals as closely as practicable Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s)
plus Gathering Fuel and any Plant Fuel and Shrink. If Shipper does
not promptly reduce its Daily delivery, LMM may cause such reduction
in Shipper’s Daily delivery at whichever Receipt Point(s) LMM deems
appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shipper may request in
writing the right to create a Daily Imbalance when necessary to
counteract a prior Daily Imbalance. Whether such request will be
granted is within the sole discretion of LMM.

	 	F.3	 	 Monthly Balancing. If the cumulative Imbalance reflected on the
Monthly statement submitted to Shipper pursuant to Section 5.2 is
greater than Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s) during the statement
period, then Shipper shall Balance with LMM by reducing the Imbalance
gas closely as practicable to zero (0) during the Month following the
delivery of such statement (“Balancing Period”) in the manner
described in (a) or (b) below. LMM shall advise Shipper of the number
of Dth of Gas which must be nominated or nominated and produced by
Shipper for each Day during the Balancing Period in order to Balance
(“Daily Balance Gas”). Shipper shall not submit Daily nominations
during the Balancing Period whose total exceeds the MDQ unless LMM
otherwise consents in writing. Shipper’s nomination of Daily Balance
Gas shall receive the highest priority of Shipper’s nominations.

	 	(a)	 	When a Positive Imbalance exists, Shipper shall include in its Daily
nominations during the Balancing Period a nomination of Daily Balance
Gas, specifically designated as such, and Shipper shall deliver
sufficient Gas to fulfill its Daily nominations.
	 
	 	(b)	 	When a Negative Imbalance exists, Shipper shall include in its Daily
nominations during the Balancing Period a nomination of Daily Balance
Gas, specifically designated as such, but Shipper shall only deliver
sufficient Gas to fulfill its Daily nominations less the Daily Balance
Gas nomination.

	 	 	 	Both parties recognize that LMM’s ability to schedule Daily Balance Gas according to (a) and (b)
above is dependent upon the cooperation of third parties. If on any given Day during the Balancing
Period the cooperation of third parties is not forthcoming, the Balancing Period shall be extended
one (1) Day to account for the lost Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LMM may, at its
discretion, postpone Shipper’s obligation to Balance.
	 
	 	F.4	 	 Balancing With Interconnecting Pipeline(s). Whenever an
Interconnecting Pipeline requires LMM to balance, LMM may require
Shipper to Balance according to Section F.3 and the period in which to
Balance shall be whatever balancing period is being imposed upon LMM
by the Interconnecting Pipeline.
	 
	 	F.5	 	 Interim and Final Balancing. If a cumulative Imbalance exists at a
point in time when Shipper’s scheduled volumes are less than
twenty-five percent (25%) of Shipper’s MDQ or less than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Shipper’s prior six (6) Months average scheduled
volume, LMM, at its option, can elect to settle the Imbalance with a
cash payment. LMM will either purchase from or sell to the Shipper
the Imbalance volume.
	 
	 	 	 	LMM will calculate the value of the cash payment by multiplying the cumulative Imbalance volume by
the price as published in the Inside FERC Gas Market report for the Interconnecting Pipeline market
location relevant to the agreement for the Month immediately following the statement Month.
	 
	 	 	 	If an Imbalance exists at the termination of this Agreement, the cumulative Imbalance will be
eliminated by cash settlement in the same manner as described above within sixty (60) Days after
receipt by Shipper of LMM’s final regular Monthly statement.
	 
	 	F.6	 	 Enforcement. If Shipper should fail or refuse to Balance according to
this Section F, then LMM may unilaterally control the receipt,
delivery and scheduling of Shipper’s Gas in order to Balance.

	K.	 	ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

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

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

DRILLING PLAN

[remainder of page intentionally left blank; schedule

of Drilling Plan begins on following page]

 

 

 

Shippers’ Drilling Plan

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

	 	1.	 	A document entitled “Drilling Schedule 4-1-09 through 3/31/10” which is Shippers’
drilling schedule (as of May 12, 2009) showing all vertical and horizontal wells intended
(as of May 12, 2009) to be spudded by Shippers on or prior to May 7, 2009 within the Area of
Interest. The wells highlighted in yellow (designated as “Phillips AMI”) are subject to the
exclusions set forth in Exhibit “F” to the Agreement and are not subject to the dedication
contained in the Agreement and are included for informational purposes only;
provided, however, that the Cowden Nos. 21H, 23H and 24H are located on
Option Parcels (as defined in that certain Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Agreement
effective as of November 1, 2008 by and between Atlas America, LLC (in its capacity as a
producer and as transporter) and PC Exploration, Inc. with respect to which LMM has become
the Transporter (as defined therein)) and hence may be available for gathering by LMM.
	 
	 	2.	 	A document entitled “Wells that need to be pipelined, located in the Deemston AMI and
West Bethlehem Township, Washington County”. This document is a list of wells previously
drilled within the Area of Interest that remain unconnected to the Gathering System and that
Shippers would like to have LMM connect to the Gathering System for Gathering under the
Agreement. Each of these wells is a vertical well completed in multiple Upper Devonian
sands. Shippers are not providing specific estimated ultimate recovery or thermal content
data for each of these wells; however, Shippers expect that each of these wells
could produce between 30 mcf and 70 mcf per day on average, subject to applicable decline
rates and specific conditions relating to each well. The two groupings of wells are each
deemed a Project for purposes of the Agreement.

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

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

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

LMM’s Initial Connection Plan

NOTES:

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

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

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