Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Atlas America, Inc. (the "Issuer") informed Wayne M. Cooperman, the principal of the Reporting Person, that the trades previously reported on a Form 4 filed by the reporting person appeared to be subject to disgorgement as "short swing" trades under the provisions of Section 16 (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although Mr. Cooperman denied he or the Reporting Person had engaged in any trades in the common stock of the Issuer that were subject to disgorgement and denied any other basis for liability in respect of any investments in the common stock of the Issuer, Mr. Cooperman agreed to resolve this matter by entering into a Settlement Agreement and (continued in Footnote 2)
(2) Release with the Issuer dated October 23, 2006 (the "Settlement Agreement") solely to avoid the expense and inconvenience of a possible assertion of legal claims by the Issuer in connection with investments in the common stock of the Issuer by Mr. Cooperman or the Reporting Person. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Cooperman paid the Issuer $44,568.82. Mr. Cooperman and the Issuer have agreed that in conformity with the terms of the Settlement Agreement Mr. Cooperman will pay the Issuer any amounts in excess of the initial settlement for any liabilities that may arise with respect to the reported transaction.
(3) The securities reported on this filing are held in (a) the accounts of three private investment vehicles and (b) two managed accounts over which the Reporting Person has investment discretion. The reporting person hereby disclaims beneficial ownership over the shares reported on this Form 4 to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of the securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
