Explanation of Responses:

1. This amended and restated Form 4 is being filed to correct and clarify the disclosure regarding the reporting person's interest in Alliance Resource Partners, L.P.'s ("ARLP" or the "Issuer") securities as of May 15, 2006. The initial Form 4, filed May 16, 2006, inadvertently omitted the disclosure of the contribution to Alliance Holdings GP, L.P. ("AHGP") of 15,550,628 Common Units of ARLP by the Alliance Resource GP, LLC ("SGP"), Alliance Management Holdings, LLC ("AMH") and AMH II, LLC ("AMH II") that occurred on May 15, 2006 in connection with the initial public offering of common units of AHGP, as more fully disclosed in the footnotes above.

2. On May 15, 2006, in accordance with the terms of a certain Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement, dated as of April 14, 2006, by and among AHGP, Alliance GP, LLC, SGP, AMH, AMH II, and ARM GP Holdings, Inc. (the "Contribution Agreement"), effective upon the closing of AHGP's initial public offering of its common units ("AHGP Common Units"), the SGP, AMH and AMH II contributed an aggregate of 15,550,628 Common Units of ARLP to AHGP in exchange for AHGP Common Units. (Continued in footnote (3)).

3. The reporting person, Joseph W. Craft III ("Craft"), was the indirect holder of all of the 15,310,622 Common Units of ARLP contributed by the SGP, the 19,522 Common Units of ARLP contributed by AMH, and the 220,484 Common Units of ARLP contributed by AMH II (though in previous Form 4 and Form 5 beneficial ownership reports, he disclaimed beneficial ownership of such Common Units of ARLP except to the extent of his pecuniary interests therein).

4. Of the 15,310,628 Common Units of ARLP contributed to AHGP by the SGP (as described in footnotes 2 and 3), 12,845,062 of such Common Units of ARLP were previously reported in Craft's Form 4 and Form 5 beneficial ownership reports as Subordinated Units of ARLP. Prior to such contribution, those 12,845,062 Subordinated Units automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into Common Units of ARLP, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement of ARLP.

5. As described in footnotes 2 and 3 above, AHGP received an aggregate of 15,550,628 Common Units of ARLP as contributions from the SGP, AMH and AMH II in accordance with the terms of the Contribution Agreement. Craft is a director, and through his ownership of C-Holdings, LLC, the sole owner of, Alliance GP, LLC, the general partner of AHGP, and holds, directly or indirectly, a majority of the outstanding AHGP Common Units. AHGP owns 42.7% of the Common Units of ARLP. Craft disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Units of ARLP held by AHGP except to the extent of his pecuniary interests therein.

6. On May 15, 2006, Craft acquired 449 Phantom Units. The Phantom units are to be settled in either cash or common units of ARLP (on a one-for-one basis), at the election of the Compensation Committee, upon Crafts's death or termination.

7. Craft acquired beneficial ownership of 2000 units on June 13, 2002 due to the purchase of ARLP units by his sons. Craft no longer has a reportable beneficial interest in 1000 of the original 2000 units owned by one of his sons and included in Crafts prior ownership reports.
