Tract 11. The Court has previously entered an Order quieting title to the gas estate under Tract

Among other things, the proposed Settlement Agreement resolves the competing claims

of ownership as follows;

gas estate on Tract 11 in the following percentages: 25'/e Weyerhaeuser

Company, 25'/e Range, 50/a Trustee.

Title ro Tract 4: The parties agree that Range and the Trustee are

undivided owners of the gas estate on Tract 4 in the following percentages: 33'/e

Range, 67'/e Trustee.

The Trustee having published the proposed settlement as ordered by the Court,

there being no objections filed with the Court, and it otherwise appearing proper to

approve the proposed settlement for all the reasons set forth in the Trustee's pleadings

and the pleadings of the other parties, it is hereby ORDERED that the proposed

Settlement Agreement is APPROVED and EFFECTIVE.

It is therefore ORDERED as follows:

1. The gas estate on Tract 11 is owned as follows:

Weyerhaeuser Company: 25'/e undivided interest;

Range: 25'/e undivided interest; and

Trustee: 50'/e undivided interest.

2. The gas estate on Tract 4 is owned as follows:

Range: 33'/e undivided interest; and

Page Number 11.

Trustee: 67% undivided interest.

As used in this Order, the term "gas estate" means all gas, including both

conventional gas and coalbed methane gas.

17000ivi4

It is further ORDERED that, except for claims reserved to Weyerhaeuser and the

Trustee as stated in paragraphs 5 and 6 of the Settlement Agreement, all claims,

counterclaims, and crossclaims brought by Weyerhaeuser, Range, Range Resources-

Appalachia, LLC, EQT, and the Trustee in Case No, I;13CV00062 are hereby dismissed

with prejudice. Claims reserved in paragraphs 5 and 6 of the Settlement Agreement are

dismissed without prejudice. Case No. I:15CV00037 shall reinain pending for further

bankruptcy proceedings consistent with this Order.
