BA-100 (Tract 1E)VGOB No. 03-0916-1189-02
PETITION FOR ACCOUNTING
Comes the Plaintiff, by counsel, and bring this action for the entry of an order
requiring CNX to provide a full accounting relative to petitioner's interest in certain Coal-
Bed Methane (CBM) wells located in Buchanan County. In support thereof, your Plaintiff
state as follows:
1. Petitioner owner of real estate, and the associated gas estate, in Buchanan County,
Virginia. These interests are located in BA-100 Disbursement Order VGOBP 03-0916-
1189-02 (BA-100-Tract I-E)
2. CNX requested the VGOB to distribute the share of accrued royalties attributable
to the above tract to the Petitioner. The CNX petition is attached ad incorporated herein as
Exhibit l.
3. An order was entered by this Board svas entered recognizing Petitioner's ownership
of the CBM, entitlement to a share of the escrowed CBM royalties for past production
relative to such tract, and direction to the escrow agent to release such escrowed funds
Page Number 1.
attributable to the tract. A copy of the order is attached and incorporated by reference
marked Exhibit 2
4. Defendant is the duly appointed unit operator, and has been responsible for
production, record-keeping, and deposit of all past royalties with this Board's escrow agent.
5. While Plaintiffs ultimately received the proceeds approved for distribution from the
VGOB escrow agent, they were not provided an accountability gross production, gross
proceeds, net royalties, accounting of the categories, methodologies, justification, or
reasonableness of the deductions made from the gross production royalty purporting to be
the net royalty periodically deposited by CNX with the Board's escrow agent.
6. On November 23, 20l 5, petitioners received a letter from CNX stating that they
overpaid petitioner $6,997.36, despite that fact the amount received was the only amount
authorized by the VGOB based upon the information CNX provided in their petition for
distribution.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner seeks the entry of an order directing CNX to provide a
full and complete accounting of all deductions from gross royalties, resulting in the
contribution of net royalties reported in Exhibits 1, in order that the Board can ensure the
accuracy of the amount distributed versus representations made by CNX, as well as an
order precluding CNX from unilaterally withholding royalties to make up for an accounting
error inconsistent with their petition for distribution or the order of the VGOB directing
distribution of the same.

Re: BA-100 Disbursement Order VGOB¹ 03-0916-1109-02
Dear Mr, Harris.
I am writing to inform you that the most recent recorded Disbursement O.der (03) issuedon Unit BA100 noted that the Escrow Account has been overpaid. In November 2009 aprocessing error caused additional funds to be paid into the BA100Escrovr Account. As aresult the error, the following Disbursement Order (02) was paid out to E.<EE owners basedon an incorrect balance.
It has been calculated that your original payout of $23,617.27was incorre ct. The correctpayout balance specific to your interest should have totaled $16,619.91.A s a result of thiserror being noticed a receivable balance of $6,997.36will be applied to yc ur current CNX
Gas royalties. This balance will be loaded against your account effective v ith November2015 processing / September sales. Following these adjustment monthly itatements willbe mailed summarizing the balance against your account. Once this balan:e is recovered in
full your royalty checks will automatically be issued to pay.
I apologize for this error and the inconvenience it has caused. Please, feel free to contacttnyself, or the Supervisor of Pooling —Anita Duty, at anitadutvlconsoleni rav.corn with anyadditional questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Nicole FieldsSenior Analyst, RoyaltyCNX Gas Company LLC

production, record-keeping, and deposit of all past royalties with this Board' escrow agent.
5. While Plaintiffs ultimately received the proceeds approved for distribution from the
VGOB escrow agent, they were not provided an accountability gross production, gross
proceeds, net royalties, accounting of the categories, methodologies, justification, or
reasonableness of the deductions made from the gross production royalty purporting to be
the net royalty periodically deposited by CNX with the Board's escrow agent.
6. On November 23, 2015, petitioners received a letter from CNX stating that they
overpaid petitioner $6,997.36, despite that fact the amount received was the only amount
authorized by the VGOB based upon the information CNX provided in their petition for
distribution.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner seeks the entry of an order directing CNX to provide a
full and complete accounting of all deductions from gross royalties, resulting in the
contribution of net royalties reported in Exhibits 1, in order that the Board can ensure the
accuracy of the amount distributed versus representations made by CNX, as well as an
order precluding CNX from unilaterally withholding royalties to make up for an accounting
error inconsistent with their petition for distribution or the order of the VGOB directing
distribution of the same.
