PURSUANT TO

ATLAS ENERGY, INC. 2009 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this             day of             , 20            (the “Grant Date”) by and between             , (“Participant”) and ATLAS ENERGY, INC. (together with its successors and assigns hereinafter referred to as, the “Company”).

WHEREAS, the Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the granting of Incentive Stock Options by the Committee to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof; and

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company to grant the Incentive Stock Options described herein on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company, with the approval and at the direction of the Committee, hereby grants to the Participant, an Incentive Stock Option to purchase up to             shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the “Shares”), at an exercise price of $            per Share. Such option is hereinafter referred to as the “Option” and the Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Option are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Option Shares.”

(b) The Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option, as described in Section 5 below. However, if and to the extent the Option exceeds the limits for an Incentive Stock Option, as described in Section 5, the Option shall be a Nonqualified Option.

Subject to such further limitations as are provided herein, the Option shall become exercisable in [four (4)] installments, the Participant having the right hereunder to purchase from the Company the following number of Option Shares upon exercise of the Option, on and after the following dates, in cumulative fashion:

[(a) on and after the             anniversary of the Grant Date, up to     % (ignoring fractional Shares) of the total number of Option Shares;

(b) on and after the             anniversary of the Grant Date, up to an additional     % (ignoring fractional Shares) of the total number of Option Shares;

(c) on and after the             anniversary of the Grant Date, up to an additional     % (ignoring fractional Shares) of the total number of Option Shares; and

(d) on and after the             anniversary of the Grant Date, the remaining Option Shares.]

(a) The Option and all rights hereunder with respect thereto, to the extent such rights shall not have been exercised or terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall terminate and become null and void after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date (the “Option Term”).

(b) Upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement (as defined in Section 15[(c)] below) or Disability, the portion of the Option that was outstanding and exercisable as of such Termination of Employment may be exercised by the Participant during the following periods: (i) the six (6)-month period following the date of Termination of Employment by reason of Disability; and (ii) the one (1) year period following the date of Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement, but not later than the end of the Option Term.

(c) Upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment by reason of death, any unvested portion of the Option shall immediately vest in full and become exercisable by the Participant’s legal representative for the one (1) year period following the date of Termination of Employment, but not later than the end of the Option Term.

(d) Upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in Section 15(a) below) [or by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined in Section 15(b) below) in each case],¹ upon or during the one-year period following a Change of Control, any theretofore unvested portion of the Option shall immediately vest in full and become exercisable for the one (1) year period following the date of Termination of Employment, but in any case not later than the end of the Option Term.

(e) Upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause, any unexercised portion of the Option shall immediately terminate and become null and void.

(f) Upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment other than as provided for in Sections 3(b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the portion of the Option that was outstanding and exercisable as of such Termination of Employment may be exercised during the ninety (90) day period following such Termination of Employment, but not later than the end of the Option Term.

(g) A transfer of the Participant’s employment between the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or between any Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall not be deemed to be a Termination of the Employment.

(a) The Participant may exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the number of Option Shares granted hereunder by giving the Chief Legal Officer of the Company written notice of intent to exercise, in the form attached hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). The Notice of Exercise shall specify the number of Option Shares as to which the Option is to be exercised and the date of exercise thereof, which date shall be at least five (5) days after the giving of such notice unless an earlier time shall have been mutually agreed upon.

(b) Full payment (in U.S. dollars) by the Participant of the exercise price for the Option Shares purchased shall be made on or before the exercise date specified in the Notice of Exercise in cash, or, as and to the extent permitted by the Committee, the exercise price may be paid by any of the other methods allowed under Section 5(g) of the Plan.

(c) On the exercise date specified in the Notice of Exercise or as soon thereafter as is practicable, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Participant, a certificate or certificates for the Option Shares then being purchased (out of theretofore unissued Shares or reacquired Shares, as the Company may elect) upon full payment for such Option Shares. The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares shall, however, be subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan (including, without limitation, under Section 14(a) thereof).

(d) If the Participant fails to pay for any of the Option Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise or fails to accept delivery thereof, the Participant’s right to purchase such Option Shares may be terminated by the Company. The date specified in the Notice of Exercise as the date of exercise shall be deemed to be the date of exercise of the Option, provided that payment in full for the Option Shares to be purchased upon such exercise shall have been received by such date.

(e) The Company or any Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any payment due or transfer made under this Option or from any compensation or other amount owing to the Participant, including by payroll deduction, the amount (in cash, Option Shares, other securities or other property as determined by the Committee) of any applicable taxes payable in respect to this Option, its exercise or any payment or transfer under this Option or the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or such Affiliate to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes, all in accordance with Section 14(d) of the Plan. If Shares (including Option Shares) are used to satisfy tax withholding, such Shares shall be valued based on their Fair Market Value when the tax withholding is required to be made; provided, however, that not more than the legally required minimum tax withholding amount may be settled by Share withholding.

(a) This Option is designated an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If the aggregate fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year, under the Plan or any other stock option plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, exceeds $100,000, then the Option, as to the excess, shall be treated as a nonqualified stock option that does not meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. If and to the extent that the Option fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code, the Option shall remain outstanding according to its terms as a nonqualified stock option.

(b) The Participant understands that favorable Incentive Stock Option tax treatment is available only if the Option is exercised while the Participant is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or within a period of time specified in the Code after the Participant ceases to be an employee. The Participant understands that the Participant is responsible for the income tax consequences of the Option, and, among other tax consequences, the Participant understands that he or she may be subject to the alternative minimum tax under the Code in the year in which the Option is exercised. The Participant will consult with his or her tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of the Option.

(c) The Participant agrees that the Participant shall immediately notify the Company in writing if the Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option and such sale or other disposition occurs on or before the later of (i) two years after the Grant Date or (ii) one year after the transfer of the Shares to the Participant upon exercise of the Option. The Participant also agrees to provide the Company with any information requested by the Company with respect to such sale or other disposition.

In the event of a Corporate Transaction or Share Change, the Committee or the Board shall make such adjustment to the Option as is provided for in Sections 3(d) and (e) of the Plan.

Neither the Participant nor any personal representative shall be, or shall have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares purchasable or issuable upon the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, prior to the date of exercise of the Option.

During the Participant’s lifetime, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant or any guardian or legal representative of the Participant, and the Option shall not be transferable except, in the case of death of the Participant, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, nor shall the Option be subject to attachment, execution or other similar process. In the event of (a) any attempt by the Participant to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Option, except as provided for herein, or (b) the levy of any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interest hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Option by notice to the Participant and it shall thereupon become null and void.

This Agreement shall not constitute a contract of employment, and shall not confer upon the Participant any right to continued employment or other service relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries, nor shall it interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment or other service relationship of the Participant at any time.

The Option may be amended by the Board or the Committee at any time, subject to the provisions of Section 12(d) of the Plan.

Any notice to the Company provided for in this instrument shall be addressed to it in care of its Chief Legal Officer at its executive offices at 1845 Walnut Street, 10^th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 or at such other address as to which the Company shall have notified Participant in writing and any notice to the Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at the current address shown on the payroll records of the Company. Any notice shall be deemed to be duly given if and when properly addressed and posted by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid.

The Option is granted pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and this Agreement shall in all respects be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. This Agreement is subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) rights and obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (ii) the registration, qualification or listing of the Shares, (iii) changes in capitalization of the Company, and (iv) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee shall interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement, and its interpretations and determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and any other person claiming an interest hereunder, with respect to any issue arising hereunder or thereunder, all in accordance with the provisions of the Plan (including Section 2 thereof).

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict the exercise of the Option at any time if the Participant (i) is convicted of a felony or a crime of moral turpitude with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (ii) engages in fraud or embezzlement with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; or (iii) materially breaches the Participant’s obligations under any written non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality agreement entered into between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (each, a “Rescission Event”).

(b) Upon exercise of an Option, the Committee may require that the Participant certify in a manner acceptable to the Committee that he or she has not engaged in any conduct that constitutes a Rescission Event. In the event that a Participant engages in conduct that constitutes a Rescission Event before, or during the one-year period after, any exercise of the Option, such exercise may be rescinded by the Company within two years after the Participant engages in such conduct. In the event of any such rescission, the Participant shall pay to the Company the amount of any gain realized or payment received as a result of the rescinded Option, in such manner and on such terms and conditions as may be required by the Committee, and the Company shall be entitled to set off against the amount of any such gain any amounts owed to the Participant by the Company.

This Agreement, and all determinations made and actions taken thereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

(a) “Cause” means Cause (or a term of similar import) as defined in an Individual Agreement to which the Participant is party, or, if there is none, “Cause” means the Participant’s: (i) commission of a felony or a crime of moral turpitude; (ii) commission of any act of malfeasance or wrongdoing against the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; (iii) a material breach of the Company’s policies or procedures; (iv) willful and continued failure to perform the Participant’s material duties; (v) willful misconduct which causes material harm to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their respective business reputations, including due to any adverse publicity; or (vi) material breach of the Participant’s obligations under any agreement (including any covenant not to compete) entered into between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2(c) of the Plan, following a Change in Control, any determination by the Committee as to whether “Cause” exists shall be subject to de novo review.

² [(b) “Good Reason” means Good Reason (or a term of similar import) as defined in an Individual Agreement to which the Participant is a party, or, if there is none, “Good Reason” means, without the Participant’s written consent, (i) the Participant’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities are materially diminished from those in effect during the 90-day period immediately preceding a Change in Control, (ii) a reduction of ten percent or greater in the Participant’s annual base salary as in effect during the 90-day period immediately prior to the Change in Control, or as the same may be increased from time to time or (iii) the Company requires the Participant regularly to perform his duties of employment beyond a fifty (50) mile radius from the location of the Participant’s employment immediately prior to the Change in Control. In order to invoke a termination for Good Reason, the Participant shall provide written notice to the Company of the existence of one or more of the conditions described in clauses (i) through (iii) within 60 days following the Participant’s knowledge of the initial existence of such condition or conditions, specifying in reasonable detail the conditions constituting Good Reason, and the Company shall have 30 days following receipt of such written notice (the “Cure Period”) during which it may cure the condition if such condition is reasonably subject to cure. In the event that the Company fails to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason during the applicable Cure Period, the Participant’s Termination of Employment must occur, if at all, within 90 days following the end of such Cure Period in order for such termination as a result of such condition to constitute a termination for Good Reason.]

(c) “Retirement” means the Participant’s Termination of Employment on or following age 65 and, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, after five years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, other than by reason of the Participant’s death, Disability or by the Company for Cause [; provided, however, that following a Change in Control a Participant’s Termination of Employment due to Retirement shall be treated as a Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause for all purposes of this Agreement]³.
