SCHEDULE I

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Attached to and Forming Part of

That certain Transaction Confirmation — SUPPLY CONTRACT NO. 0001

By and between Atlas Resources, LLC, Viking Resources, LLC and Resource Energy, LLC (“Atlas”

or

“Seller”)

and

Chevron Natural Gas, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (“Chevron” or “Buyer”)

Dated as of February 17, 2011

These Special Provisions hereby modify, supplement and amend the Transaction Confirmation — SUPPLY CONTRACT NO. 0001, dated and ratified as of the date hereof (the “Transaction Confirmation”), and, solely to the extent described in these Special Provisions with respect to the transaction(s) contemplated by the Transaction Confirmation, the Base Contract between the parties referenced in the Transaction Confirmation. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Base Contract between the parties referenced in the Transaction Confirmation.

1. Amendments to Section 2 of the Base Contract: Section 2 is amended by adding the following new definitions in alphabetical order:

“NYMEX Contract Price” means a per MMBtu price equal to the NYMEX Settle Price, plus ***.

“NYMEX Settle Price” means a per MMBtu price equal to the NYMEX last day settle price of one MMBtu of Gas for the next delivery Month.

2. Amendments of Section 4 of the Base Contract.

A. Amendment to Section 4.2 of the Base Contract: Section 4.2 is amended by adding the following to the end of that Section: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, Atlas Resources, LLC (“Resources”) shall (a) not more than 60 days following the execution and delivery of the Restructuring Agreements (as defined below) nominate on behalf of Seller the Base Load Firm Volume (as defined below) Contract Quantity of Gas to be supplied, purchased and sold hereunder on a Firm basis per day each Month (denominated in MMBtu/day) during Year 1 (as defined below), and (b) not less than 60 days prior to the end of (i) Year 1, nominate on behalf of Seller the Base Load Firm Volume Contract Quantity of Gas to be supplied, purchased and sold hereunder on a Firm basis per day each Month (denominated in MMBtu/day) during Year 2 and (ii) Year 2 (as defined below), nominate on behalf of Seller the Base Load Firm Volume of Gas to be supplied, purchased and sold hereunder on a Firm basis per day each Month (denominated in MMBtu/day) during Year 3 (as defined below). In the event that Resources (or Seller in lieu of Resources) fails to timely nominate Base Load Firm Volumes as set forth above in clauses (i) or (ii) for the coming Year 2 or 3 time period during the Delivery Period, then Resources shall be deemed to have nominated the maximum Base Load Firm Volume for the coming Year 2 or 3 period set forth below for the entire 12-month period. To the extent that Seller expects to supply more Gas on any day than the applicable Base Load Firm Volume (“Excess Daily Gas”), Resources will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply to Buyer no later than 7:30 a.m. Central on each Business Day estimates of the aggregated volumes of Excess Daily Gas to be delivered to that Delivery Point on the following Day, and seasonal production volume forecasts for delivery of Excess Daily Gas into that Delivery Point on a rolling 2-month basis during the Delivery Period.”

3. Pricing: With respect to any volumes of Gas purchased or sold pursuant to the Transaction Confirmation, such volumes of Gas will be priced in accordance with the following:

A. Supply of Firm Base Load Volume for each Delivery Point: The NYMEX Contract Price.

B. Supply of Excess Daily Gas. Excess Daily Gas supplied by Seller to Buyer hereunder shall be purchased by the Buyer on a Firm basis during the Delivery Period. The parties will attempt to negotiate a mutually-agreeable price with respect to any Excess Daily Gas based upon fair market value less a reasonable marketing fee payable to Seller

4. Delivery Point and Firm Base Load Volume. The Firm Base Load Volume for each Delivery Point (see list of meters that tie into each interstate line, which list is attached hereto as Attachment 1; for the Transaction Confirmation, “Delivery Point” shall mean any or all of the meters listed for each interstate line) shall be as set forth below and shall be specified on a Month-to-Month basis as set forth in Section 2(a) above:

All Base Load Volume Contract Quantities set forth below are denominated in MMBtu/day.

5. Delivery Period.

The Delivery Period will end on March 31, 2014. As noted above, for the purposes of establishing the Firm Base Load Volume, the Delivery Period shall be divided into three (3) periods: Year 1 beginning at the Closing and ending on March 31, 2012, Year 2 beginning April 1, 2012 and ending on March 31, 2013, and Year 3 beginning on April 1, 2013 and ending on March 31, 2014.

6. Duty to Mitigate. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3 of the Contract to the contrary, in the event that Seller fails to deliver sufficient volumes of Gas on any Day to meet its Firm Base Load Volume Contract Quantity obligation, then Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the costs to cover any portion of the difference between the Firm Base Load Volume Contract Quantity and the volume actually delivered by Seller.

7. Several Liability. The liability and obligations of each Seller party under this Transaction Confirmation and as parties to the Base Contract shall be several, and not joint.
