ARTICLE 2

MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

Section 2.1 Merger Consideration.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Atlas, Titan or any holder of Titan Class A Units or Titan Class B Units:

(i) All the limited liability company interests in MergerCo outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be converted into and become a 100% limited liability company interest in Titan, and Atlas Energy Holdings Operating Company, LLC, as the holder of such limited liability company interests, shall be admitted as the sole member of Titan.

(ii) Each Titan Class A Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be converted into a right to receive (subject to Section 2.5 with respect to the Escrowed Units): (A) a number of Atlas Units equal to the product of (x) the number of Atlas Units included in the Merger Consideration multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of Titan Class A Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (the “Fraction”), which Atlas Units shall be duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with applicable Laws and the Atlas Partnership Agreement, fully paid (to the extent required under the Atlas Partnership Agreement) and non-assessable (such Atlas Units described in this clause (a)(ii) (including the Escrowed Units) shall be referred to herein as the “New Units”); and (B) a portion of the Cash Consideration equal to the product of (x) the Cash Consideration (less the Allocated Administrative Portion) multiplied by (y) the Fraction. Each Titan Class B Unit and all other equity interests (if any) of Titan issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be cancelled and cease to exist, and no equity interests of Titan (other than Titan Class A Units) shall be converted into any right to receive any Atlas Units or other consideration.

(iii) All the Titan Class A Units, when converted in the Merger, shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist. At the Merger Effective Time, each holder of Titan Class A Units shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive (A) its Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration (less such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Allocated Administrative Portion of the Cash Consideration and less such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrowed Units) and (B) any cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional New Units in accordance with Section 2.3(d), in each case to be issued or paid in consideration therefore in accordance with Section 2.3.

(b) All payments, deposits and deliveries of funds pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wire transfer instructions provided by Titan no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

Section 2.2 Rights as Unitholders; Unit Transfers. At the Merger Effective Time, holders of Titan Class A Units, Titan Class B Units and all other equity interests in Titan shall cease to be unitholders of Titan and shall have no right as unitholders of Titan other than the right to receive the consideration provided under this Article 2. After the Merger Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the unit transfer books of Titan with respect to the Titan Class A Units, Titan Class B Units or any other equity interests of Titan.

Section 2.3 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Procedures. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, Atlas shall deliver to each record holder of Titan Class A Units a letter of transmittal instructions in the form attached hereto as Annex E for use in effecting the surrender of the Titan Class A Units held by the holders thereof. At and after the Merger Effective Time, upon the delivery of such letters of

transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, each holder of Titan Class A Units shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) New Units representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of New Units that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article 2 (after taking into account all Titan Class A Units then held by such holder) less such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrowed Units and (ii) a check in the amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article 2, including cash payable in lieu of any fractional New Units pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and distributions pursuant to Section 2.3(b). No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration or on any unpaid distributions payable to holders of Titan Class A Units. Until the required documentation has been delivered, each Titan Class A Unit shall be deemed at any time after the Merger Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration (less the Cash Consideration) less such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrowed Units, payable in respect of such Titan Class A Unit and any distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(b).

(b) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Titan Class A Units. No distributions declared or made with respect to Atlas Common Units with a record date after the Merger Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Titan Class A Units with respect to the New Units that such holder would be entitled to receive in accordance herewith, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional New Units shall be paid to any such holder until such holder shall deliver the required documentation and surrender such Titan Class A Units as contemplated by this Section 2.3. Subject to applicable Law, following compliance with the requirements of Section 2.3(a), there shall be paid to such holder of the New Units issuable in exchange therefor, without interest, promptly after the time of such compliance, (i) the amount of any cash payable in lieu of fractional New Units to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and (ii) the amount of distributions that such holder would have received from Atlas (or the Surviving Entity) from and after the Merger Effective Time and prior to the date on which the New Units are issued to such holder if such holder had held such New Units as of the Merger Effective Time.

(c) Further Rights in Titan Units. The Merger Consideration issued upon conversion of a Titan Class A Unit in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or (d)) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Titan Class A Unit.

(d) Fractional New Units. No certificates or scrip of the New Units representing fractional New Units or book entry credit of the same shall be issued upon the exchange of Titan Class A Units in accordance with Section 2.3(a), and such fractional interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights as a holder of any New Units. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Titan Class A Units exchanged in the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a New Unit (after taking into account all Titan Class A Units exchanged by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest rounded up to the nearest whole cent) in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Execution Date Unit Price by (ii) the fraction of a New Unit that such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article 2. As promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of

fractional interests, Atlas shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, forward payments to such holders of a right to receive a fraction of a New Unit subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof.

(e) Withholding. Each of Atlas and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Titan Class A Units such amounts as Atlas and the Surviving Entity are required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment; provided, however, that Atlas or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall provide notice to the applicable holders of Titan Class A Units prior to withholding any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.3(e). To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by Atlas or the Surviving Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Titan Class A Units in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Atlas or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be.

(f) Book Entry and Admission of Holders of New Units as Additional Limited Partners of Atlas. Upon the issuance of New Units to each holder of Titan Class A Units in accordance with this Section 2.3 and the compliance by such holder with the requirements of Section 10.1 of the Atlas Partnership Agreement, Atlas Resource Partners GP, LLC shall consent to the admission of such holder as a limited partner of Atlas and reflect such admission on the books and records of Atlas.

Section 2.4 Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event of any subdivisions, reclassifications, recapitalizations, splits, combinations or distributions in the form of equity interests with respect to the Atlas Units, (a) the number of New Units to be issued in the Merger and the cash payments determined in accordance with Section 2.3(d) will be correspondingly adjusted and (b) the number of Escrowed Units placed into escrow and/or to be released to Atlas or Representative (on behalf of the Original New Unit Holders) pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement will be adjusted accordingly.

Section 2.5 Escrowed Units and Cash Consideration. The Escrowed Units (or the applicable portion thereof) shall be released by the Escrow Agent after Closing to the holders of the New Units (or their respective assignees or designees) or Atlas, as the case may be, as provided in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Until the Escrowed Units are released from escrow to the holders of the New Units (or their respective assignees or designees) or Atlas in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, all distributions declared or made with respect to the Escrowed Units with a record date after Closing but prior to the date of such release shall be paid to Representative on behalf of the holders of the New Units at the time of payment of such distributions as provided in the Escrow Agreement. The Allocated Administrative Portion will be held, used and disbursed by Representative as provided in Section 12.14.

Section 2.6 Adjustments to the Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted as of the Closing by the Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.7(a) and, after the Closing, pursuant to Section 2.7(b), but only with respect to matters identified in the Closing Settlement Statement, the Post-Closing Settlement Statement or an Adjustment Notice, in accordance with this Section 2.6. For purposes of this Agreement and for determining the Merger Consideration, the “Adjustment Amount” shall mean an amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to:

(a) (i) the amount of cash or cash equivalents of Titan distributed or paid from and after the Effective Date until Closing (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will include any dividend or other distribution payable in cash, equity securities, other ownership interests, property or otherwise with respect to the Interests, to any member of Titan, or to any affiliate of Titan or any such member (including any payment in the manner of consulting fees, management fees or similar fees but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any salary, wages and benefits of employees of Titan paid in the ordinary course of business)) minus (ii) the amount of all cash and cash equivalents contributed to Titan (net of all commitment or similar fees) from and after the Effective Date until Closing by each Person who, directly or indirectly, owns an equity interest in Titan; plus

(b) the absolute value of the Effective Date Net Working Capital; plus

(d) the amount of any interest, prepayment penalties, premiums, fees and other similar costs and expenses paid by Titan in connection with the Indebtedness of Titan under the Titan Credit Agreement between the Effective Date and Closing; plus

(e) the sum of the Closing Title Defect Amount and the Closing Remediation Amount; plus

(f) fifty percent (50%) of the Agreed Key Amount plus $67,528.50; plus

(g) the Agreed Release Amount.

Section 2.7 Closing and Post-Closing Merger Consideration Adjustments.

(a) Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Titan shall prepare and deliver to Atlas a settlement statement (the “Closing Settlement Statement”) calculating the amount equal to the Merger Consideration as adjusted to give effect to Titan’s good faith estimate of the Adjustment Amount calculated in accordance with Section 2.6 (or, if then determinable, the final amounts thereof). Atlas shall have three (3) Business Days to review the Closing Settlement Statement from Atlas’s receipt thereof. On the day following expiration of such three (3) Business Day review period, Atlas shall submit a written report containing any changes Atlas proposes to be made to the Closing Settlement Statement. Titan and Atlas shall agree on a final Closing Settlement Statement no later than one (1) Business Day prior to Closing; provided, however, if Titan and Atlas are unable to agree, then, subject to Section 2.7(b), Titan’s determination shall be used for purposes of the Merger Consideration to be delivered at the Closing. The calculation delivered by Titan in accordance with this Section 2.7(a), as adjusted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable, shall constitute the Merger Consideration for purposes of Closing.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing but not later than the last to occur of (i) the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date, (ii) the day on which all Title Defects and Title Defect Amounts have been finally determined in accordance with Section 8.2(g) and (iii) the day on which all Environmental Conditions and Remediation Amounts have been finally determined in accordance with Section 9.1(g), Atlas shall prepare and deliver to Representative a draft statement (the “Post-Closing Settlement Statement”) setting forth the final calculation of the Merger Consideration taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.6, any Title Defects finally resolved pursuant to Section 8.2(g) after the Closing and any Environmental Condition finally resolved pursuant to Section 9.1(g) after the Closing. As soon as reasonably practicable but not later than the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following receipt of Atlas’s statement hereunder, Representative shall deliver to Atlas a written report (an “Adjustment Notice”) containing any changes Representative proposes be made in such statement with respect to the calculation of the Adjustment Amount. Representative shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed (on behalf of the holders of the New Units) to all items in the Post-Closing Settlement Statement other than such matters that are proposed to be changed in the Adjustment Notice with respect to the Adjustment Amount. The parties shall undertake to agree on the final Merger Consideration no later than five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Adjustment Notice. If the final Merger Consideration is:

(i) mutually agreed upon in writing by Representative and Atlas during such five (5) Business Day period, the final Merger Consideration shall be conclusive and binding on the parties; or

(ii) not mutually agreed upon by Representative and Atlas during such five (5) Business Day period, then Ernst & Young LLP (the “Dispute Auditor”) shall resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculation of the Adjustment Amount. Should Ernst & Young LLP fail or refuse to agree to serve as Dispute Auditor within five (5) days after written request from any party to serve, and the parties fail to agree in writing on a replacement Dispute Auditor within five (5) days after the end of that five (5) day period, or should no replacement Dispute Auditor agree to serve within ten (10) days after the original written request pursuant to this sentence, the Dispute Auditor shall be appointed by the Dallas, Texas office of the American Arbitration Association. In connection with the engagement of the Dispute Auditor, each of Representative and Atlas shall execute such engagement, indemnity and other agreements as the Dispute Auditor shall require as a condition to such engagement. The Dispute Auditor shall determine as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the selection of the Dispute Auditor, based solely on written submissions provided by Atlas and Representative to the Dispute Auditor (and without independent investigation on the part of the Dispute Auditor) within ten (10) days following the Dispute Auditor’s selection, whether and to what extent (if any) the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Post-Closing Settlement Statement requires adjustment. In resolving any disputed item, the Dispute Auditor shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator, and shall resolve only the items set forth in the Adjustment Notice that are still in dispute and may not assign a value to any item greater than the highest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either party. Each of Representative and Atlas shall bear one-half of the costs and expenses of the Dispute Auditor. The determination of the Dispute Auditor shall be final, conclusive and binding on Atlas and Representative (on behalf of the holders of the New Units). The date on which the final Merger Consideration is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.7(b) is referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(c) Any difference in the Merger Consideration delivered at Closing as determined pursuant to Section 2.7(a) and the final Merger Consideration as determined pursuant to Section 2.7(b) shall be settled by the owing party to the owed party within five (5) Business Days of the Determination Date through the delivery of a number of Atlas Units (consisting of an equal number of Atlas Common Units and Atlas Preferred Units) with a value (determined based on the Execution Date Unit Price) equal to such difference. The obligation, if any, under this Section 2.7(c) to deliver Atlas Units to Atlas shall be satisfied solely out of the General Escrow Units then held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING TITAN

Except as set forth on the Titan Disclosure Schedule (each section of which qualifies the correspondingly numbered representation and warranty or covenant to the extent specified therein, provided that any disclosure set forth with respect to any particular section shall be deemed to be disclosed in reference to all other applicable sections of this Agreement if the disclosure in respect of the particular section is sufficient on its face without further inquiry reasonably to inform Atlas of the information required to be disclosed in respect of the other sections to avoid a breach under the representation and warranty or covenant corresponding to such other sections), Titan hereby represents and warrants to Atlas as follows in Sections 3.1 through 3.34, inclusive, and the holders of the Titan Class A Units, severally and not jointly, hereby represent and warrant to Atlas as follows in Section 3.35 only:

(c) Such holder acknowledges that it has (a) had access to the Atlas SEC Documents, (b) had access to information regarding the Merger and its potential effect on Atlas’s operations and financial results and (c) been provided a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of Atlas regarding such matters.

(d) Such holder understands that the Atlas Units it is acquiring hereunder are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Atlas in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In connection with the foregoing, such holder represents that it is knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144 of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act.

(e) The Atlas Units shall not be evidenced by physical certificates. If any physical certificates are issued, it is understood that the certificates evidencing the Atlas Units initially will bear the following legend:

“These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged (except in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by these securities) or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under such Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder and, in the case of a transaction exempt from registration, unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 under such Act or the issuer has received documentation reasonably satisfactory to it that such transaction does not require registration under such Act.” For the avoidance of doubt, the Atlas Units may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by such Atlas Units and such pledge shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of such Atlas Units, and no buyer effecting such a pledge shall be required to provide Atlas with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to Atlas pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.”

If within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of the Merger Consideration Allocation to Representative, Representative notifies Atlas in

writing that Representative objects to the allocation set forth in the Merger Consideration Allocation, Atlas and Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) days. In the event that Atlas and Representative are unable to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) days, Atlas and Representative shall jointly retain the Referee (which may in turn select an appraiser if needed) to resolve the disputed item.

(b) Prior to Closing, Titan shall obtain, and pre-pay all premiums under, a directors’ and officers’ liability tail insurance policy effective for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date and Atlas shall cause the Surviving Entity (or any successor of the Surviving Entity) to maintain, and not terminate or modify, such insurance policy for the entire term of such policy.

All information obtained by Atlas and its representatives under this Section 6.10(a) shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and any applicable privacy laws regarding personal information

(b) Section 6.10(a) shall not require Titan to permit any access, or to disclose any information, that in its reasonable, good faith judgment (after consultation with outside counsel) would reasonably be expected to result in violation of any Contract to which Titan or any of Titan’s affiliates is a party or applicable Laws, or is subject to or would cause any privilege (including attorney-client privilege) which Titan or any of Titan’s affiliates would be entitled to assert to be undermined with respect to such information and such undermining of such privilege could in Titan’s or such affiliates’ good faith judgment (after consultation with outside counsel) adversely affect in any material respect Titan’s or such affiliates’ position in any pending, or what Titan or such affiliates believe in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) could be future litigation.

(c) The provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated December 28, 2011, between Atlas Energy, L.P. and the other parties named therein (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Section 6.11 Record Retention. Representative and Atlas, for the longer of a period of seven (7) years and as required by Law, following Closing, will, to the extent that either holds any Records, retain (or, in the case of Atlas, cause the Surviving Entity to retain) the Records and provide the other party, its affiliates, and its and their officers, employees, representatives and agents with reasonable access upon prior notice to the Records (to the extent that such requesting party has not retained the original or a copy) during normal business hours for review and copying at such requesting party’s expense; provided that either Atlas or Representative may destroy Records from time to time and prior to the end of such period in accordance with its normal document retention policy as long as such party notifies the other party in writing in advance and provides such other party an opportunity to copy such Records at such other party’s expense.

Section 6.12 Atlas Common Units and Atlas Preferred Units.

(a) Upon issuance in accordance with this Agreement, and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Titan set forth in Article 3 and of the holders of the Titan Class A Units in Section 3.35, and the performance by Titan of the covenants contained herein, all Atlas Units issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be issued in accordance with all applicable securities Laws and all Atlas Common Units included therein will be approved for listing on the NYSE subject only to official notice of issuance.

(b) Atlas and Titan acknowledge and agree that the New Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities Laws of any state and the New Units may be sold or disposed of only in one or more transactions registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws or as to which an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws is available. No Person has any right to require Atlas to cause the registration of any of the New Units issued pursuant to this Agreement except as expressly set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

(c) Neither Atlas nor any authorized representative acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action that would cause the loss of exemption of the issuance of the New Units from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Atlas nor any of its Subsidiaries has, directly or indirectly through any agent, sold, offered for sale, solicited offers to buy or otherwise negotiated in respect of, any “security” (as defined in the Securities Act) that is or will be integrated with the sale of the New Units in a manner that would require registration under the Securities Act.

(d) Atlas and Titan acknowledge and agree that it is the intention of Titan that the New Units issued pursuant to this Agreement as the Merger Consideration be issued to the holders of the Titan Class A Units, and Atlas hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate with Titan to facilitate any such issuance or transfer in a manner consistent with applicable Law, subject in all cases to such arrangements in connection therewith being satisfactory to Atlas.

Section 6.13 Notification of Breaches. Until the Closing:

(a) Atlas shall notify Titan promptly after Atlas obtains actual knowledge, without any duty of inquiry, that any representation or warranty of Titan contained in this Agreement is untrue in any material respect or will be untrue in any material respect as of the Closing Date or that any covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by Titan prior to or on the Closing Date has not been so performed or observed in any material respect.

(b) Titan shall notify Atlas promptly after Titan obtains actual knowledge, without any duty of inquiry, that any representation or warranty of Atlas contained in this Agreement is untrue in any material respect or will be untrue in any material respect as of the Closing Date or that any covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by Atlas prior to or on the Closing Date has not been so performed or observed in any material respect.

(c) Any of Atlas’s or Titan’s representations or warranties that are untrue or shall become untrue in any material respect between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, and any of Atlas’s or Titan’s covenants or agreements to be performed or observed prior to or on the Closing Date that have not been so performed or observed in any material respect, shall be considered not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement to the extent that any such breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement is (if curable) cured by the Closing.

ARTICLE 8

TITLE MATTERS; CASUALTIES; TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

Section 8.1 Titan’s Title; General Disclaimer of Title Warranties and Representations. Without limiting Atlas’s remedies for Title Defects set forth in this Article 8 or the Escrow Agreement, neither Titan nor any other Person makes any warranty or representation, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, with respect to Titan’s title to any of the Properties, and Atlas hereby acknowledges and agrees that Atlas’s sole and exclusive remedy for any defect of title, including any Title Defect, with respect to any of the Properties before or after the Claim Date shall be, except for the Unsubordinated Lien Title Defects which are the subject of Special Indemnity Claims, as set forth in Section 8.2 and the Escrow Agreement.

Section 8.2 Notice of Title Defects; Defect Adjustments.

(a) Title Defect Notices. No later than 60 days after the date of this Agreement (the “Claim Date”), Atlas must deliver claim notices to Titan and to Representative meeting the requirements of this Section 8.2(a) (collectively the “Title Defect Notices” and individually a “Title Defect Notice”) setting forth any matters which, in Atlas’s reasonable opinion, constitute Title Defects and which Atlas intends to assert as a Title Defect pursuant to this Article 8. For all purposes of this Agreement and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Atlas shall be deemed to have waived, and there shall be no liability for, any Title Defect under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement which Atlas fails to assert as a Title Defect by a Title Defect Notice received by Titan and Representative on or before the Claim Date. To be effective, each Title Defect Notice shall be in writing, and shall include (i) a description of the alleged Title Defects, (ii) the Xxxxx and Undrilled Locations affected by the Title Defect (each a “Title Defect Property”) and (iii) Atlas’s good faith estimate (which is non-binding) of the Title

Defect Amount relating to each Title Defect with respect to each Title Defect Property (the “Claimed Defect Amount”). To give Titan and Representative an opportunity to commence reviewing and curing Title Defects, Atlas agrees to use reasonable efforts to give Titan and Representative written notice (which shall not constitute a Title Defect Notice) of all Title Defects discovered by Atlas on a weekly basis, which notice may be preliminary in nature and supplemented prior to the Claim Date and will not prejudice in any way Atlas’s ability to assert a Title Defect.

(b) Right to Cure. If Atlas provides written notice of a Title Defect, Titan (prior to Closing) or Representative (after Closing), as the case may be, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt, at its sole cost, to cure, at any time prior to one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date (the “Cure Period”) such Title Defect, and all costs and expenses associated with curing such Title Defect (including any internal costs incurred with respect to employees of Atlas or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) to the extent Representative requests in writing any such Persons to undertake any work in connection therewith and such Person(s) agrees in writing to undertake such work) shall be borne by Representative (subject to the obligation of the Original New Unit Holders to reimburse Representative as provided in Section 12.14(c)).

(i) If, prior to Closing, Atlas and Representative are in agreement with respect to any Title Defect timely and properly asserted by Atlas in accordance with Section 8.2(a), then Atlas and Representative may agree in writing prior to the Closing to reduce the Merger Consideration at the Closing by including the agreed to Title Defect Amount (subject to the Individual Title Defect Threshold and the Aggregate Deductible) with respect to such Title Defect in the Closing Title Defect Amount.

(ii) For all other Title Defects not resolved pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(i), then, subject to Representative’s continuing right to dispute the existence of a Title Defect and/or the Title Defect Amount asserted by Atlas and subject to Section 8.2(g), in the event that any Title Defect timely and properly asserted by Atlas in accordance with Section 8.2(a) is not waived in writing by Atlas, Representative shall, after Closing, at its sole discretion, elect to:

(A) subject to the Individual Title Defect Threshold and the Aggregate Deductible, reduce the Merger Consideration by instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Atlas a number of the then remaining Title Dispute Escrow Units held in escrow under the Escrow Agreement equal to (A) an amount determined pursuant to Sections 8.2(e) and (g) as being the value of such Title Defect Amount divided by (B) the Execution Date Unit Price; or

(B) attempt to cure (in whole or in part) the Title Defect pursuant to Section 8.2(b);

provided, however, that to the extent any of the foregoing Title Defects is not cured by the expiration of the Cure Period, clause (ii)(A) in this Section 8.2(c) shall apply to such Title Defects.

(d) Exclusive Remedy. Section 8.2(c) shall be the exclusive right and remedy of Atlas with respect to Titan’s failure to have Defensible Title or any other title matter with respect to any Well or Undrilled Location.

(e) Title Defect Amount. The “Title Defect Amount” resulting from a Title Defect that is the subject of a Title Defect Notice timely and properly delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and that is not waived in writing by Atlas shall be the amount by which the Allocated Value of the affected Title Defect Property is reduced as a result of the existence of such Title Defect and shall be determined in accordance with the following methodology, terms and conditions:

(i) if Atlas and Representative agree in writing on the Title Defect Amount before or after Closing, then that amount shall be the Title Defect Amount;

(ii) if the Title Defect is an Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) that is undisputed and liquidated in amount, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the amount necessary to be paid to remove the Title Defect from the Title Defect Property;

(iii) if the Title Defect represents a discrepancy between (A) the actual Net Revenue Interest for any Title Defect Property and (B) the Net Revenue Interest as stated on Exhibit A, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the product of the Allocated Value of such Title Defect Property and a fraction, the numerator of which is the Net Revenue Interest decrease and the denominator of which is the Net Revenue Interest stated in Exhibit A, provided that if the Title Defect does not affect such Title Defect Property throughout its productive life, the Title Defect Amount determined under this Section 8.2(e)(iii) shall be reduced to take into account the applicable time period only;

(iv) if the Title Defect represents an obligation or Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) upon or other defect in title to the Title Defect Property of a type not described above, the Title Defect Amount shall be determined by taking into account the Allocated Value of the Title Defect Property, the portion of the Title Defect Property affected by the Title Defect, the legal effect of the Title Defect, the potential economic effect of the Title Defect over the life of the Title Defect Property, the values placed upon the Title Defect by Atlas and Representative and such other reasonable factors as are necessary to make a proper evaluation;

(v) the Title Defect Amount with respect to a Title Defect Property shall be determined without duplication of any costs or losses included in another Title Defect Amount hereunder; and

(vi) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate Title Defect Amounts attributable to the effects of all Title Defects upon any Title Defect Property shall not exceed the Allocated Value of such Title Defect Property.

(f) Title Deductibles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Merger Consideration or other remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise for any individual Title Defect for which the Title Defect Amount does

not exceed the Individual Title Defect Threshold and (ii) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Merger Consideration or other remedies provided to Atlas for any Title Defect for which the Title Defect Amount exceeds the Individual Title Defect Threshold unless (A) the amount of the sum of (x) the Title Defect Amounts of all such Title Defects that exceed the Individual Title Defect Threshold, in the aggregate, excluding any Title Defect Amounts to the extent attributable to Title Defects that are cured by Titan or Representative, as the case may be, and (y) the Remediation Amounts of all Environmental Conditions, in the aggregate, excluding any individual Environmental Condition for which the Remediation Amount does not exceed the Individual Environmental Threshold and excluding any Environmental Conditions Remediated by Titan exceeds (B) the Aggregate Deductible, after which point Atlas shall be entitled to adjustments to the Merger Consideration only with respect to such Title Defects in excess of the Aggregate Deductible; provided that the entire Title Defect Amount of Title Defects meeting the description in clause (x) above and not just the portion in excess of the Individual Title Defect Threshold shall be counted toward determining whether the Aggregate Deductible has been met. The Parties agree that, subject to Section 8.2(e)(v), if the same Title Defect affects more than one Well or Undrilled Location, then the Title Defect Amounts for each Well or Undrilled Location affected by such Title Defect shall be aggregated for the purposes of determining whether the Individual Title Defect Threshold has been met with respect to such Title Defect.

(g) Title Dispute Resolution.

(i) Prior to the Closing, Titan and Atlas shall attempt to agree on, and after Closing, Representative and Atlas shall attempt to agree on, all Title Defects and Title Defect Amounts prior to the end of the Cure Period. If Representative and Atlas are unable to agree in writing by the end of the Cure Period, the extent of the existence of the Title Defects and the Title Defect Amounts in dispute shall be exclusively and finally resolved pursuant to this Section 8.2(g); provided, however, that arbitration pursuant to this Section 8.2(g) may be initiated prior to the end of the Cure Period by written agreement of Atlas and Representative. There shall be a single arbitrator, who shall be a title attorney with at least ten (10) years’ experience in oil and gas titles involving properties in Texas, as selected by mutual agreement of Atlas and Representative, within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Cure Period, and absent such agreement, by the Dallas, Texas office of the American Arbitration Association (the “Title Arbitrator”). The arbitration proceeding shall be held in Dallas, Texas and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section 8.2. The Title Arbitrator’s determination of the existence of a Title Defect and his award of the Title Defect Amount with respect to a Title Defect shall be made within twenty (20) days after submission of the matters in dispute and shall be final and binding upon Atlas, Representative and the holders of the New Units without right of appeal. In making his determination, the Title Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in this Article 8 and, subject to the foregoing, may consider such other matters as in the opinion of the Title Arbitrator are necessary to make a proper determination. The Title Arbitrator, however, may not award Atlas, with respect to any Title Defect, a greater Title Defect Amount than the Claimed Defect Amount claimed by Atlas in the applicable Title Defect Notice with respect to such Title Defect and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Title Arbitrator’s awards are subject to the limitation on liabilities

provisions set forth in Sections 8.2(e) and 8.2(f). The Title Arbitrator shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific disputed Title Defect and Title Defect Amounts submitted by either party and may not award damages, interest or penalties to Atlas or Representative or to holders of the New Units with respect to any matter. Representative and Atlas shall each bear its own legal fees and other costs of presenting its case. Each of Representative and Atlas shall bear one-half of the costs and expenses of the Title Arbitrator.

(ii) Within ten (10) days after the Title Arbitrator delivers written notice to Representative and Atlas of his award of the Title Defect Amount with respect to a Title Defect, to the extent such Title Defect Amount would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Article 8, Representative and Atlas shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Atlas a number of Title Dispute Escrow Units then available in escrow equal to (A) such Title Defect Amount divided by (B) the Execution Date Unit Price.

(iii) If the Title Defect Amount determined by Representative and Atlas in writing or the Title Arbitrator with respect to any Title Defect is less than the Claimed Defect Amount claimed by Atlas in the applicable Title Defect Notice in respect of such Title Defect, then within ten (10) days after the Title Defect Amount being so determined, Atlas and Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Representative (on behalf of the Original New Unit Holders) a number of Title Dispute Escrow Units then held in escrow equal to (A) the amount by which the Claimed Defect Amount claimed by Atlas in the applicable Title Defect Notice exceeds such determined Title Defect Amount divided by (B) the Execution Date Unit Price.

(h) Recourse Only Against Title Dispute Escrow Units.

(i) Atlas, on behalf of itself and all other Atlas Indemnified Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the Title Dispute Escrow Units shall be the sole and exclusive source of funds for satisfaction of all (and no Person shall under any circumstance have any personal liability or obligation for the satisfaction of any) Disputed Title Matters, Title Defect Amounts or breach of Article 8. The Title Dispute Escrow Units shall be used solely to satisfy Disputed Title Matters.

(ii) The aggregate liability to Atlas in connection with all Disputed Title Matters, Title Defect Amounts or breach of Article 8 shall in no event exceed the Title Dispute Escrow Units then held in escrow under the Escrow Agreement, and Atlas, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Atlas Indemnified Party, hereby covenants forever not to assert, file, prosecute, commence or institute (or sponsor or facilitate any Person in connection with the foregoing), any complaint or lawsuit or any legal, equitable, arbitral or administrative proceeding of any nature, against any Titan Released Party in connection with or relating to any Disputed Title Matters, Title Defect Amounts or breach of Article 8. Before and after such time as the Title Dispute Escrow Units are released from escrow, Atlas shall have no recourse against any Titan Released Party in respect of any Title Defect or for any unpaid Title Defect Amounts or breach of Article 8.

(iii) If Atlas asserts a claim under this Article 8, Atlas shall, subject to the limitations on liability hereunder, be entitled to be paid the Title Defect Amount determined in accordance with Sections 8.2(e) and 8.2(g), solely by receiving from the Escrow Agent all or a portion of the then available Title Dispute Escrow Units (determined using the Execution Date Unit Price) in an amount equal to such Title Defect Amount as provided in Section 8.2(g).

(iv) All (A) claims in respect of Title Defects and Title Defect Amounts asserted properly and timely by Atlas in accordance with this Agreement prior to the Claim Date that become subject to dispute resolution in accordance with Section 8.2(g) and that are not resolved by the Title Arbitrator or Representative and Atlas in writing and are not satisfied (through releases from the escrow of Title Dispute Escrow Units or title curative work completed) prior to the expiration of the Cure Period and (B) Title Defects that Representative has elected to attempt to cure pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(ii) for which Atlas contests the adequacy or completeness of the cure (or the remaining Title Defect Amount (if any) after taking into account the curative work) shall be deemed to be “Pending Title Claims” to the extent and for so long as any Title Dispute Escrow Units remain in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The dollar amount of all Claimed Defect Amounts in respect of Pending Title Claims are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Pending Title Claim Amount.” On the first (1st) Business Day following the expiration of the Cure Period, Atlas and Representative shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent written instructions instructing the Escrow Agent to release and deliver to Representative the then remaining balance of the Title Dispute Escrow Units held in escrow in excess (with a value determined using the Execution Date Unit Price) of the (if any) Pending Title Claim Amount. A number of Title Dispute Escrow Units equal to the Pending Title Claim Amount divided by the Execution Date Unit Price will continue to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement until such time as the Pending Title Claims have been fully resolved and the Escrow Agreement shall be extended accordingly; provided, however, if the remaining balance of the value (determined using the Execution Date Unit Price) of the Title Dispute Escrow Units (from time to time thereafter) exceeds the then remaining Pending Title Claim Amount, then Atlas and Representative shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent in writing that the excess amount of Title Dispute Escrow Units shall be released promptly to Representative (on behalf of the holders of the Original New Unit Holders).

(v) All Title Defects that Representative has elected to attempt to cure pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(ii)(B) for which Atlas disputes the adequacy or completeness of the cure (or the remaining Title Defect Amount (if any) then applicable after taking into account the curative work) shall be submitted to the Title Arbitrator for resolution. In making his determination the Title Arbitrator shall adhere to the applicable rules, procedures, process and provisions set forth in Section 8.2(g).

(vi) If, following the Closing but prior to the expiration of the Cure Period, Representative has cured any Title Defect in whole or in part, then, at the request of Representative (on behalf of the Original New Unit Holders), but subject to Atlas’s rights under Section 8.2(h)(v), Atlas and Representative shall promptly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Representative (on behalf of the Original New Unit Holders) (A)

where the Title Defect has been cured in full, a number of Title Dispute Escrow Units equal to (1) the Claimed Defect Amount with respect to such Title Defect divided by (2) the Execution Date Unit Price and (B) where a Title Defect has been partially (but not fully) cured and Representative advises Atlas that Representative has terminated its efforts to fully cure such Title Defect, a number of Title Dispute Escrow Units as agreed to in writing by Representative and Atlas or the Title Arbitrator as provided in Section 8.2(g)(iii).

Section 8.3 Casualty or Condemnation Loss.

(a) If after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing Date, any portion of the Titan Assets is taken in condemnation or under right of eminent domain by any Governmental Authority, the Titan Assets or portion thereof shall be excluded from the definition of Titan Assets to the extent of the interests affected by the condemnation or right of eminent domain but the Merger Consideration shall not be reduced as a result thereof.

(b) If any action for condemnation or taking under right of eminent domain is pending or threatened with respect to any Titan Asset or portion thereof after the date of this Agreement, but no taking of such Titan Asset or portion thereof occurs prior to the Closing Date, the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall nevertheless close.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after the date of this Agreement, if the Closing occurs, Atlas shall assume all risk of loss with respect to production of Hydrocarbons through normal depletion or otherwise (including watering out of any Well, collapsed casing or sand infiltration of any Well) and the depreciation of Personal Property due to ordinary wear and tear, in each case, with respect to the Titan Assets.

Section 8.4 Consents to Assign. Promptly following the date hereof, and, in any event, prior to the Closing, Titan shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents listed on Section 3.5 of the Titan Disclosure Schedule that are required to permit the consummation by Titan of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, neither party shall be required to incur any Liability or pay any money in order to be in compliance with the foregoing covenant.

ARTICLE 9

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Section 9.1 Environmental Conditions.

(a) Assertions of Environmental Conditions. Atlas must deliver claim notices to Titan and Representative meeting the requirements of this Section 9.1(a) (collectively the “Environmental Condition Notices” and individually an “Environmental Condition Notice”) no later than the Claim Date, setting forth any matters that, in Atlas’s reasonable opinion, constitute Environmental Conditions and that Atlas intends to assert as Environmental Conditions pursuant to this Section 9.1. For all purposes of this Agreement but subject to Atlas’s remedy for a breach of Titan’s representation contained in Section 3.17 and Titan’s indemnity obligation in Section 11.2, Atlas shall be deemed to have waived any Environmental Condition that Atlas fails to assert as an Environmental Condition by an Environmental Condition Notice received by Titan

and Representative on or before the Claim Date. To be effective, each Environmental Condition Notice shall be in writing and shall include (i) a reasonably detailed description, including, where available, supporting documentation, of the matter constituting the alleged Environmental Condition, (ii) a description of each Titan Asset (or portion thereof) that is affected by the alleged Environmental Condition, (iii) Atlas’s assertion of the Allocated Value of the portion of the Titan Assets affected by the alleged Environmental Condition, and (iv) Atlas’s good faith estimate, which is non-binding, based on the information made available to Atlas prior to the date of such notice (as such estimate shall be adjusted in good faith by Atlas prior to the Claim Date based on information made available to Atlas prior to the Claim Date) of the Remediation Amount that Atlas asserts is attributable to such alleged Environmental Condition (the “Claimed Remediation Amount”). Atlas’s calculation of the Claimed Remediation Amount included in the Environmental Condition Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the Remediation proposed for the Environmental Condition that gives rise to the asserted Environmental Condition and the primary assumptions used in calculating the Remediation Amount, including, where applicable, any standards that Atlas asserts must be met to comply with Environmental Laws. Titan shall have the right, but not the obligation, to Remediate any claimed Environmental Condition at any time prior to the Closing Date (the “Environmental Condition Cure Period”). Titan may, prior to Closing, select and employ at its sole discretion any generally accepted remedial technology or approach to Remediate an identified Environmental Condition.

(b) Remedies for Environmental Conditions.

(i) If, prior to Closing, Atlas and Representative are in agreement with respect to any Environmental Condition timely and properly asserted by Atlas in accordance with Section 9.1(a), then Atlas and Representative may agree in writing prior to the Closing to reduce the Merger Consideration at the Closing by including the Remediation Amount (subject to Section 9.1(f)) with respect to such Environmental Condition in the Closing Remediation Amount.

(ii) For all other Environmental Conditions timely asserted by Atlas in accordance with Section 9.1(a) that are not waived in writing by Atlas or Remediated on or before the last day of the Environmental Condition Cure Period, then, subject to Section 9.1(f), Representative shall select, at Closing, one of the following remedies in its sole discretion (or both remedies where Representative elects to treat certain matters under clause (A) and certain other matters under clause (B)):

(A) submit certain or all of the Environmental Conditions and/or Remediation Amounts to dispute resolution pursuant to Section 9.1(g) and direct Atlas to place the Environmental Remediation Escrow Units into escrow with the Escrow Agent at the Closing; or

(B) assumption of responsibility by Representative (by written notice to Atlas from Representative no later than the Closing, and in the absence of such written notice by the Closing, Representative shall be deemed to have selected clause (ii)(A) of Section 9.1(b)) for the Remediation of certain or all of such Environmental Conditions (and if only certain Environmental Conditions are subject to assumption of responsibility under this clause (B), the balance of the Environmental Conditions and Remediation Amounts shall be subject to clause (A) above in this Section 9.1(b)(ii)).

(c) If Section 9.1(b)(i) above is applicable, Atlas shall be deemed to have assumed responsibility for Remediation of such Environmental Condition. If clause (ii)(B) of Section 9.1(b) above is applicable, then (A) Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such Remediation in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Environmental Laws, taking into consideration Titan’s use and operation of the Titan Assets, in a timely fashion for the type of Remediation Representative elects to undertake (at no cost or expense, internal or otherwise, to Atlas or its Affiliates including, the Surviving Company) and, upon advance written notice, Atlas hereby grants Representative access to the affected Titan Assets after the Closing Date to implement and complete such Remediation in accordance with an access agreement mutually agreeable to the parties, and (B) there shall be no reduction to the Merger Consideration related to such Environmental Condition. Upon completion of Remediation under clause (ii)(B) of Section 9.1(b) above, Representative shall at its sole cost and expense and without any cost or expense (internal or otherwise) to Atlas or its Affiliates, including the Surviving Company (except to the extent Representative requests in writing any such Persons to undertake any work in connection therewith and such Person(s) agrees in writing to undertake such work), (A) close all bore holes from its Remediation in accordance with recognized industry standards, (B) repair all damage done to the Titan Assets in connection with the Remediation, and (C) remove all equipment, tools or other property brought onto the Titan Assets in connection with the Remediation. Any party performing Remediation shall keep the other party reasonably informed regarding any Remediation. In completing the Remediation, the party performing the Remediation shall provide the other party with draft copies of all documents to be submitted to any Governmental Authorities regarding the Remediation and shall reasonably cooperate with the other party to incorporate comments provided by it to the party performing the Remediation regarding such documents. In addition, the party performing the Remediation shall promptly provide the other party with copies of any correspondence with any Governmental Authority regarding the Remediation and shall provide the other party with the opportunity to participate in any meetings with any Governmental Authority regarding the Remediation. The party performing the Remediation shall be solely responsible for obtaining any permits or other authorizations from any Governmental Authority associated with the Remediation. The party performing the Remediation shall promptly remove any waste material generated during the Remediation from the Titan Assets. The party performing the Remediation shall require any contractors or subcontractors entering the Titan Assets in connection with the Remediation to provide the other party with certificates of insurance demonstrating coverage under Commercial General Liability, Contractors Pollution Liability, and Errors and Omissions Liability insurance policies in a form reasonably acceptable to the other party and naming the other party as an additional insured.

(d) With respect to any provision of this Article 9 that refers to any Remediation completed by Representative, whether before or after the Closing, Representative will be deemed to have adequately completed the Remediation (i) upon receipt of a certificate of approval or completion from the applicable Governmental Authority that the Remediation has been implemented to the extent necessary to comply with existing Laws or (ii) if no certificate or approval is available under Environmental Law, upon express written consent of Atlas, upon mutual agreement of the parties or upon receipt of a certificate from an independent, licensed

professional engineer that the Remediation has been implemented to the extent necessary to comply with Environmental Laws; provided, if the parties cannot agree, the issue of whether the Remediation is completed may be resolved by the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 9.1(g). Any such Remediation determined in accordance with such procedures to be incomplete will be completed, at such party’s sole cost and expense, in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement by the non-performing party promptly following such determination.

(e) Exclusive Remedy. Except for Atlas’s remedy for a breach of Titan’s representation contained in Section 3.17 and the indemnification obligation in Section 11.2, the provisions set forth in Section 9.1(b) shall be the exclusive right and remedy of Atlas with respect to any Environmental Condition or other environmental matter with respect to any Titan Asset. The parties acknowledge and agree that information identified or discovered by Atlas prior to the Claim Date or information identified, discovered or developed in connection with the Remediation of a noticed Environmental Condition shall not form the basis for a claim for a breach of representation or warranty pursuant to Section 3.17.

(f) Environmental Deductibles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Merger Consideration or other remedies provided by Titan for any individual Environmental Condition for which the Remediation Amount does not exceed the Individual Environmental Threshold and (ii) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Merger Consideration or other remedies provided by Titan for any Environmental Condition for which the Remediation Amount exceeds the Individual Environmental Threshold unless the sum of (A) the Remediation Amounts of all such Environmental Conditions that exceed the Individual Environmental Threshold, in the aggregate and (B) the Title Defect Amounts of all Title Defects, in the aggregate, excluding any individual Title Defect for which the Title Defect Amount does not exceed the Individual Title Defect Threshold and any Title Defects cured by Titan or Representative exceeds the Aggregate Deductible, after which point Atlas shall be entitled to adjustments to the Merger Consideration or other remedies only with respect to the portion of the Remediation Amounts in excess of such Aggregate Deductible; provided that the entire Remediation Amount and not just the portion in excess of the Individual Environmental Threshold shall be counted toward determining whether the Aggregate Deductible has been met. The parties agree that if the same Environmental Condition affects more than one Well or Undrilled Location, then the Remediation Amounts for each Well or Undrilled Location affected by such Environmental Condition shall be aggregated, without duplication of any costs or losses included in another Remediation Amount hereunder, for the purposes of determining whether the Individual Environmental Threshold has been met with respect to such Environmental Condition.

(g) Environmental Dispute Resolution. Prior to the Closing, Representative and Atlas shall attempt to agree on all Environmental Conditions and Remediation Amounts. If Representative and Atlas are unable to agree by the Closing Date, the Environmental Conditions and/or Remediation Amounts in dispute shall be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to this Section 9.1(g). There shall be a single arbitrator, who shall be an environmental attorney or environmental expert with at least ten (10) years’ experience in environmental matters involving oil and gas producing properties in Texas, as selected by mutual agreement of Atlas and Representative within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, and

absent such agreement within such time period, then each party will nominate a candidate to select the Environmental Arbitrator, and such candidates so nominated by Atlas and Representative shall together determine the Environmental Arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the last candidate is nominated and absent such determination within such time period, the Environmental Arbitrator shall be selected by the Dallas, Texas office of the American Arbitration Association (the “Environmental Arbitrator”). The arbitration proceeding shall be held in Dallas, Texas and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Article 9. The Environmental Arbitrator’s determination of the Environmental Condition or the Remediation Amount with respect to an Environmental Condition shall be made within twenty (20) days after submission of the matters in dispute and shall be final and binding upon both parties, without right of appeal. In making his determination, the Environmental Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in this Section 9.1 and, subject to the foregoing, may consider such other matters as in the opinion of the Environmental Arbitrator are necessary or helpful to make a proper determination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Environmental Arbitrator’s awards are subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Section 9.1(f). The Environmental Arbitrator shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific disputed Environmental Conditions and/or Remediation Amounts submitted by either party and may not award damages, interest or penalties to either party with respect to any matter. Atlas and Representative shall bear its own legal fees and other costs of presenting its case. Atlas and Representative shall bear one-half of the costs and expenses of the Environmental Arbitrator.

(h) Within ten (10) days after the Environmental Arbitrator delivers written notice to Representative and Atlas of his award of the Remediation Amount with respect to an Environmental Condition, to the extent such Remediation Amount would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Article 9, Representative and Atlas shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Atlas a number of Environmental Remediation Escrow Units then available in escrow equal to (A) such Remediation Amount divided by (B) the Execution Date Unit Price.

(i) Recourse Only Against Environmental Remediation Escrow Units. Without limiting the obligations of Representative with respect to any Environmental Condition that it has elected in writing to Remediate pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(ii)(B):

(i) Atlas acknowledges and agrees that the Environmental Remediation Escrow Units shall be the sole and exclusive source for satisfaction of all (and no Person shall under any circumstance have any personal liability or obligation for the satisfaction of any) Environmental Conditions, Remediation Amounts or breach of Article 9. The Environmental Remediation Escrow Units shall be used solely to satisfy Remediation Amounts for Environmental Conditions.

(ii) The aggregate liability to Atlas in connection with all Environmental Conditions and Remediation Amounts shall in no event exceed the Environmental Remediation Escrow Units then held in escrow under the Escrow Agreement and Atlas hereby covenants forever not to assert, file, prosecute, commence, institute (or sponsor or facilitate any Person in connection with the foregoing), any complaint or lawsuit or any

legal, equitable, arbitral or administrative proceeding of any nature, against any Titan Released Party in connection with or relating to any Environmental Conditions, Remediation Amounts or breach of Article 9. Before and after such time as the escrowed Environmental Remediation Escrow Units are released from escrow, Atlas shall have no recourse against any Titan Released Party in respect of any Environmental Condition or for any unpaid Remediation Amount or breach of Article 9.

(iii) If Atlas asserts a claim under this Article 9, Atlas shall, subject to the limitations on Titan’s liability hereunder, be entitled to be paid the Remediation Amount determined in accordance with Section 9.1(f), solely by receiving from the Escrow Agent all or a portion of the then available Environmental Remediation Escrow Units (determined using the Execution Date Unit Price) in an amount equal to such Remediation Amount as provided in Section 9.1(g).

(iv) All Environmental Claims that Representative has elected to attempt to Remediate pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(ii)(B) for which Atlas disputes the adequacy or completeness of the Remediation (or the remaining Remediation Amount (if any) then applicable after taking into account the Remediation work) shall be submitted to the Environmental Arbitrator for resolution. In making his determination the Environmental Arbitrator shall adhere to the applicable rules, procedures, process and provisions set forth in Section 9.1(g).

(v) Upon completion of dispute resolution proceedings pursuant to Section 9.1(g) and after award of all Environmental Remediation Escrow Units distributable to Atlas as a consequence thereof pursuant to Section 9.1(h), then, at the request of Representative (on behalf of the Original New Unit Holders), Atlas and Representative shall promptly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Representative (on behalf of Original New Unit Holders) all remaining Environmental Remediation Escrow Units.

Section 9.2 NORM, Wastes and Other Substances. Atlas acknowledges that the Titan Assets have been used for exploration, development and production of oil and gas and that there may be petroleum, produced water, wastes, Hazardous Substances or other substances or materials located in, on or under the Titan Assets or associated with the Titan Assets. Equipment and sites included in the Titan Assets may contain asbestos, NORM or other Hazardous Substances. NORM may affix or attach itself to the inside of xxxxx, materials and equipment as scale, or in other forms. The xxxxx, materials and equipment located on the Titan Assets or included in the Titan Assets may contain NORM and other wastes or Hazardous Substances. NORM containing material and/or other wastes or Hazardous Substances may have come in contact with various environmental media, including water, soils or sediment. Special procedures may be required for the assessment, remediation, removal, transportation or disposal of environmental media, wastes, asbestos, NORM and other Hazardous Substances from the Titan Assets.

Section 11.2 Indemnification in Favor of Atlas.

(a) Subject to the other terms of this Article 11, from and after the Closing Date, Atlas and its affiliates (collectively, the “Atlas Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified:

(i) (based solely to the extent of the General Escrow Units then held in escrow under the Escrow Agreement as hereinafter provided) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from:

(A) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Titan in Article 3 or in the certificate delivered by Titan pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(i) (other than Section 3.30 and the certification relating thereto set forth in the aforesaid certificate, which shall be treated as a defect of title that is exclusively subject to Article 8) (without giving effect to any qualifier, other than any qualifier in Sections 3.7, 3.17 and 3.29(a), as to “materiality” or “Titan Material Adverse Effect” or words of similar meaning set forth therein); or

(B) any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by Titan in this Agreement except as provided in Article 8 or 9; and

(ii) by the holders of Titan Class A Units, jointly and severally (except in the case of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx and Xxxxxxx XX, LLC, each of whom shall be only severally liable for only his or its Pro Rata Share), from, against and in respect of any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from (A) any breach of any Extended Survival Covenants, (B) any breach of any Fundamental Representation made in Article 3 or, with respect to such Fundamental Representations, in the certificate delivered by Titan pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(i) (without giving effect to any qualifier as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or words of similar meaning set forth therein) (indemnity claims for such Losses being herein referred to as “Special Indemnity Claims”) but only to the extent indemnification for any such Special Indemnity Claim cannot be made pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i), or (C) Unsubordinated Lien Title Defects.

Notwithstanding any other provision of Article 11 in this Agreement to the contrary, Atlas shall have no rights under this Article 11 in respect of Article 8 or Article 9.

(b) Atlas shall take and shall cause its affiliates to take reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

(c) “Losses” means the amount of any actual liability, loss, cost, expense, claim, award or judgment incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Party arising out of or resulting from the indemnified matter, including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, consultants, accountants or other agents and experts reasonably incident to matters indemnified against, and the costs of investigation and/or monitoring of such matters, and the costs of enforcement of the indemnity; provided, however, that the term Losses shall exclude any consequential, punitive, special, indirect, incidental or exemplary damages or damages for lost profits or opportunity costs or damages based upon a multiple of earnings or other financial measure arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except to

the extent any such party suffers such damages (including costs of defense and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with defending of such damages) to a third party which damages shall not be excluded by this provision as to recovery hereunder) (such items excluded from Losses, collectively, the “Excluded Losses”).

(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions of any anti-indemnity statute relating to oilfield services and associated activities shall not be applicable to this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 11.3 Indemnification Obligations of Atlas.

(a) Subject to the other terms of this Article 11, from and after the Closing Date, Atlas shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Original New Unit Holders and their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Titan Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Atlas in Article 4 and in the certificate delivered by Atlas at Closing pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(v) (without giving effect to any qualifier as to “knowledge” or “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or words of similar meaning set forth therein); and

(ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by Atlas in this Agreement.

(b) The Losses of the Titan Indemnified Parties described in this Section 11.3 as to which the Titan Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification hereunder are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Titan Losses.”

Section 11.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Promptly after receipt by an Atlas Indemnified Party or a Titan Indemnified Party (hereinafter collectively referred to as an “Indemnified Party”) of notice by a third party (including any Governmental Authority) of any Actions or the commencement of any audit with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to receive payment hereunder for any

Atlas Losses or any Titan Losses (as the case may be), such Indemnified Party will notify Atlas or Representative, as the case may be (in such capacity, Atlas or Representative, is hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnifying Party”) of such Action or audit; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability under this Agreement with respect to such Action or audit only if, and only to the extent that, the defense of such Actions or audit is prejudiced as a result of the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding Representative’s status as an Indemnifying Party, Representative shall have no personal liability hereunder and its obligations shall be satisfied only to the extent of the General Escrow Units then held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnifying Party will have the right, at its sole expense, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving such notice, to assume the defense of such Action with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to (i) assume the defense of the Action on the terms provided above or (ii) employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in any case within such fifteen (15) day period, then such Indemnified Party may employ counsel to represent or defend it in any such Action and the Indemnifying Party will (subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement) pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel as incurred; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single Action. For avoidance of doubt, the fees and disbursements of counsel of any Atlas Indemnified Party in connection with an Atlas Loss shall be satisfied solely by receiving from the Escrow Agent a portion of the General Escrow Units, with such fees and expenses being converted into a number of General Escrow Units based on the Execution Date Unit Price, in an amount equal to such fees and disbursements. In any Action with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such Action, will have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, will at all times use reasonable efforts to (i) diligently conduct the defense of any Action for which it is maintaining the defense and (ii) keep the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any Action the defense of which they are maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such Action.

(b) No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any Action or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless (i) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all liability arising out of such Action (and, where Representative is the Indemnifying Party, an unconditional release of all claims against the Titan Released Parties in respect of all Liability arising out of such Action), (ii) does not contain any admission or statement of any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnifying Party (and where Representative is the Indemnifying Party, the Titan Released Parties) and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnifying Party or any of the Indemnifying Party’s affiliates. An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Action or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless (i) such

settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Action, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement of any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s affiliates.

(c) A claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party for any matter not involving an Action by a third party may be asserted by written notice to the Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification is sought. Such notice will specify with reasonable specificity the basis for such claim.

Section 11.5 General Escrow Claims Period.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the “General Escrow Claims Period” shall be the period of time that commences at the Closing and terminates on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and no claim may be asserted under Section 11.2(a)(i) (or with respect to any breach of a representation, warranty, certification, covenant, undertaking or agreement referred to in Section 11.2(a)(i)) after the General Escrow Claims Period has ended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day of the General Escrow Claims Period, Representative shall have been notified in writing by Atlas of a claim for indemnity for which a claim for indemnification under Section 11.2(a)(i) may be asserted under this Agreement by an Atlas Indemnified Party and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until the earlier of the date such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof and the time at which there are no General Escrow Units held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Special Claims Period” shall be the period of time that commences at the Closing and terminates on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date and no claim may be asserted under Section 11.2(a)(ii) (or with respect to any breach of any Extended Survival Covenant, Fundamental Representation or certification referred to in Section 11.2(a)(ii)) after the Special Claims Period has ended; provided, however, that with respect to the Extended Survival Covenants, the Special Claims Period will expire with respect to each such covenant when the survival period for such covenant ends in accordance with Section 11.1; provided further, however, that the Special Claims Period for Subordinated Lien Title Defects shall terminate on the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day of the Special Claims Period, Representative shall have been notified in writing by Atlas of a claim for indemnity for which a claim for indemnification under Section 11.2(a)(ii) may be asserted under this Agreement by an Atlas Indemnified Party and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until the date such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 11.6 Limits of Liability.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Atlas Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover on a claim for indemnification under Section 11.2(a)(i)

for any individual Atlas Loss unless the amount of such Atlas Loss or group of related Atlas Losses exceeds the De Minimis Threshold (each Atlas Loss or group of related Atlas Losses that does not exceed the De Minimis Threshold shall be referred to as an “Atlas De Minimis Liability”) and then not until the aggregate amount of all Atlas Losses (excluding the Atlas De Minimis Liabilities) incurred by the Atlas Indemnified Parties exceeds the Aggregate Deductible reduced by (i) the aggregate amount of all Title Defect Amounts for Title Defects that exceed the Individual Title Defect Threshold and that are neither cured nor are the subject of an adjustment to the Merger Consideration under Section 8.2(c)(i) and (ii) the aggregate Remediation Amounts of all Environmental Conditions that exceed the Individual Environmental Threshold and that are neither Remediated nor are the subject of an adjustment to the Merger Consideration under Section 9.1(b)(i) (the “Atlas Basket”) and then the recoverable Losses shall be limited to those that exceed the Atlas Basket; provided, however, the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Section 11.6(a) shall not apply to Atlas Losses resulting from any breach of the representations and warranties made in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4(a), 3.24, 3.26(f) and 3.35.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Titan Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover on a claim for indemnification under Section 11.3(a) for any individual Titan Loss unless the amount of such Titan Loss or group of related Titan Losses exceeds the De Minimis Threshold (each Titan Loss or group of related Titan Losses that does not exceed the De Minimis Threshold shall be referred to as an “Titan De Minimis Liability”) and then not until the aggregate amount of all Titan Losses (excluding the Titan De Minimis Liabilities) incurred by the Titan Indemnified Parties exceeds the Aggregate Deductible (the “Titan Basket”) and then the recoverable Losses shall be limited to those that exceed the Titan Basket; provided, however, that Atlas shall have no liability to the Titan Indemnified Parties for any Titan Losses incurred by the Titan Indemnified Parties in excess of the Cap; provided, further, however, the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Section 11.6(b) shall not apply to Titan Losses resulting from any breach of the representations and warranties made by Atlas in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3(a) and 4.8.

(c) the Losses indemnifiable hereunder for Unsubordinated Lien Title Defects pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(ii) shall be (i) first, the reasonable third party costs and expenses of the Atlas Indemnified Parties in excess of the Individual Title Defect Threshold incurred to prevent any unsubordinated lien from becoming an Unsubordinated Lien Title Defect or the reasonable third party costs and expenses of the Atlas Indemnified Parties incurred to cure any such Unsubordinated Lien Title Defect in accordance with accepted industry practices for properties similar to the Properties using commercially reasonable efforts, and (ii) second, if following such curative efforts a Title Defect Amount remains, such Title Defect Amount; provided, however, that after $1.5 million of such Losses have been indemnified hereunder, only fifty percent (50%) of any further such Losses shall be indemnifiable; provided further, however, that (x) the Losses indemnifiable for all Unsubordinated Lien Title Defects related to a particular affected Well (including all indemnifiable costs and expenses incurred in preventing or curing such Unsubordinated Lien Title Defects) shall not exceed the Allocated Value of the affected Well, and (y) the Allocated Value of the applicable Well shall be reduced by the net cash flow attributable to such Well between the Closing and the date of the indemnity hereunder except to the extent a claim has been made by a third party in connection with or arising from the Unsubordinated Lien Title Defect claiming all or any portion of such net cash flow (a “Cash Flow Claim”), and (z) to the extent a third party’s Cash Flow Claim is finally determined (with

The parties acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing the remedies available in this Section 11.7 supersede (and each party waives and releases) any other remedies available at Law or in equity including rights of rescission, rights of contribution and claims arising under applicable statutes.

(b) Atlas, on behalf of itself and all other Atlas Indemnified Parties, further acknowledges and agrees that, after the Closing, except for the indemnification obligations of the holders of Titan Class A Units in accordance with Section 11.2(a)(ii), and except as provided in Section 11.7(g), the Escrowed Units shall be the sole and exclusive source for satisfaction of all (and no Titan Released Party or Representative or any of their respective affiliates shall under any circumstance have any personal liability or obligation for the satisfaction of any) claims by all Atlas Indemnified Parties for all Losses in connection with, arising out of or resulting from the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Atlas, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Atlas Indemnified Party, hereby covenants forever not to assert, file, prosecute, commence or institute (or sponsor or facilitate any Person in connection with the foregoing), any complaint or lawsuit or any legal, equitable, arbitral or administrative proceeding of any nature, against any Titan Released Party, Representative or any of their respective affiliates pursuant to Section 11.2(a) (excluding the holders of the Titan Class A Units to the extent such holders have liability under Section 11.2(a)(ii)). At and after such time as the General Escrow Units are exhausted or released, the Atlas Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to seek indemnity under this Agreement or otherwise, and the Atlas Indemnified Parties shall have no recourse against any Titan Released Party, Representative or any of their respective affiliates for any unpaid Losses (other than the holders of the Titan Class A Units to the extent such holders have liability under Section 11.2(a)(ii)).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Letter of Transmittal, the Atlas Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover on claims for indemnification under this Agreement or the Letter of Transmittal (and the maximum aggregate liability to the Atlas Indemnified Parties under or with respect to this Agreement and the Letter of Transmittal shall in no event exceed) more than an amount of Atlas Units (based on the

Execution Date Unit Price) and cash which, in the aggregate, equals the dollar value of the Merger Consideration (based on the Execution Date Unit Price with respect to the Atlas Units included in the Merger Consideration). Atlas, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Atlas Indemnified Party, hereby covenants forever not to assert, file, prosecute, commence or institute (or sponsor or facilitate any Person in connection with the foregoing), any complaint or lawsuit or any legal, equitable, arbitral or administrative proceeding of any nature, against any Titan Released Party, Representative or any of their respective affiliates to recover amounts in excess of such amount.

(e) If an Atlas Indemnified Party asserts an indemnity claim under Section 11.2(a)(i) during the General Escrow Claims Period, the Atlas Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with this Article 11 by receiving from the Escrow Agent all or a portion of the General Escrow Units then held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of Losses indemnifiable hereunder by (y) the Execution Date Unit Price.

(f) All claims asserted by an Atlas Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i) during the General Escrow Claims Period that are not resolved and satisfied during the General Escrow Claims Period (including the obligation to pay any such indemnity claim) shall be deemed to be “Pending Section 11.7 Claims,” to the extent the remaining General Escrow Units then held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement are sufficient (based on the Execution Date Unit Price) to satisfy such claims. The dollar amount of all Losses claimed in respect of Pending Section 11.7 Claims are hereinafter referred to as the “Pending Section 11.7 Claim Amount” and the General Escrow Units equal to the lesser of (A) the number of General Escrow Units determined by dividing the Pending Section 11.7 Claim Amount by the Execution Date Unit Price and (B) the total number of remaining General Escrow Units then held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement are hereafter referred to as the “Remaining General Escrow Units”. On the first (1st) Business Day following the last day of the General Escrow Claims Period, Atlas and Representative shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent written instructions instructing the Escrow Agent to release and deliver to Representative the then remaining balance of the General Escrow Units in excess of the Remaining General Escrow Units (if any). The Remaining General Escrow Units will continue to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement until the Pending Section 11.7 Claims have been resolved by the parties in writing or in a court of competent jurisdiction and the Escrow Agreement shall be deemed to be extended accordingly; provided, however, if as of the first calendar day of any subsequent month the remaining balance of the value (determined using the Execution Date Unit Price) of the General Escrow Units exceeds the then remaining Pending Section 11.7 Claim Amount, then Representative and Atlas shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent in writing that the excess amount of General Escrow Units shall be released promptly to Representative (on behalf of the Original New Unit Holders).

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties have agreed that if, based on a preponderance of the evidence, any representation and warranty made by Titan in this Agreement was deliberately made and actually known by any Titan Knowledge Person as of the date hereof to be untrue in any material respect, then the limitations on Atlas’s remedies set forth in Sections 11.7(b) and 11.7(c) shall not apply with respect to such breach and the holders of the Titan Class A Units shall be, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement

(including Section 11.1, Section 11.5 and Section 11.7(d)), jointly and severally liable to Atlas for all Losses arising out of such breach (except in the case of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx and Xxxxxxx XX, LLC, each of whom shall be only severally liable for only his or its Pro Rata Share of such Losses).

The Atlas Losses and Titan Losses giving rise to any claim hereunder shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds or other payments actually received by the Indemnified Party (less the amount of any deductible paid or costs incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection therewith) in satisfaction of any Losses giving rise to the claim. Atlas shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or under other rights of recovery for Losses; provided, however, that Atlas shall be entitled to seek payment (including indemnification) under this Agreement pending resolution of any such recovery efforts.
