Drilling Rig Termination In connection with the suspension of our 2016 drilling program, we terminated a drilling rig contract and incurred $1.7 million in early termination charges.

Firm Transportation Obligation We had a contractual obligation with a carrying value of $10.8 million for certain firm transportation capacity in the Appalachian region that was scheduled to expire in 2022 and, as a result of the sale of our natural gas assets in this region in 2012, we no longer had production available to satisfy this commitment. We originally recognized a liability in 2012 representing this obligation for the estimated discounted future net cash outflows over the remaining term of the contract.
