NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

Effective as of the date hereof, each of Atlas Energy and Energy Operating hereby joins the Omnibus Agreement and accepts and agrees to be bound as a “Resource Entity” thereunder with respect to all of the terms and conditions thereof, except Section 5.2 thereof, and the MLP hereby consents to such joinder.
2. Removal of Atlas America as Primary Obligor; Guaranty.
