Investment Highlights 141K net acres in the dry gas cores of the Marcellus and Utica with 13+ year inventory in each area

Top-tier well results generate single-well returns of 55-64%; PV10 breakevens below $3 NYMEX

100% of 2015 production covered by firm sales and transportation

100% of RMP acreage dedications are located within the dry gas core of the Marcellus Shale

Substantially all of RICE’s drilling locations within the RMP dedication are within 5 miles of the current PA system and within 2 miles of the system at year end 2015

RICE’s concentrated position + multi-well pad drilling = minimal RMP capex to meaningfully increase gathering capacity

Expectations unchanged from IPO despite drop in gas prices

RMP expects to grow throughput ~60% in 2015

Significant growth expected from contracted third party dedications from top tier producers

MLP cash flow driven by scalable dry gas throughput and protected with 100% fixed fee contracts

Throughput driven by RICE’s well protected growth and conservative rig program

Visible, top tier distribution growth

E&P Sponsorship with RICE

Strategically Located Midstream Assets

Rapid Organic Growth

Predictable Cash Flow Profile

RMP has a ROFO on RICE’s OH gas gathering system and PA and OH fresh water distribution systems

RICE OH gathering expects to grow throughput to ~200 MDth/d in 2015

Expect to continue to grow third party gathering and water dedications

Drop Down Opportunities Overview Overview of Assets

__________________________1. RICE and GPOR have entered into an LOI for RICE to gather certain portions of GPOR’s dry gas acreage in Belmont County.

Assets include OH gas gathering and PA/OH water sourcing and distribution

Gathering throughput driven by SE OH technical leaders

~80% of 2015E estimated throughput from RICE operated volumes, ~20% from GPOR(1)

OH gathering system will be attractive drop-down candidate for RMP (RMP has a ROFO on RICE’s OH midstream system)

RICE will spend $30 MM to build ~30 miles of gathering pipeline and $120 MM on compression

RICE will spend $60MM to complete the build-out of our fresh water distribution systems in PA and OH

Industry Activity Underscores Rice’s Core Position

In the wake of declining commodity price and downstream infrastructure constraints, Appalachia activity has migrated to the most economic counties

We are the only operator with an acreage position in the top 3 counties (Washington, Greene, Belmont) 100% of our capital is invested in these 3 counties

Midstream System Statistics

__________________________1. Fees will be annually escalated based upon changes in the Consumer Price Index. Compression fees are derived on a per stage basis 2. Assumes that gathering and compression fees for OH services are equivalent to those to be paid by RICE to RMP for gathering and compression for Pennsylvania assets. The gathering and compression fees for OH services are subject to negotiation and

final agreement and may ultimately be changed.3. Certain of RMP’s third-party contracts provide for an increase in the gathering fee we will receive upon completion of construction of an 18-mile, 30 inch pipeline connecting its gathering system to TETCO (completed November 2014)4. Certain of RMP’s 3rd party agreements, the per stage fees charged for compression varies depending on line pressure as opposed to being a flat fee per stage. Accordingly, the 3rd party compression fee is shown on a wtd avg based on historical throughput.

Right of First Offer – RICE PA + OH Water Systems

__________________________Note: RMP’s potential acquisition of the fresh water distribution systems will be conditioned upon RICE obtaining a ruling or interpretive guidance from the IRS that income from fresh water distribution services is qualifying income for federal income tax purposes.1. In PA, water usage per well based on 7,000’ lateral, 200’ stage spacing (35 stages) and 378,000 gallons per stage. In OH, water usage per well based on 8,000’ lateral, 200’ stage spacing (40 stages) and 399,000 gallons per stage.

RICE is expanding two independent fresh water distribution systems to service PA and OH completions operations Partially in-service now and expect both

PA and OH systems to be fully constructed by YE2015

Water distribution system is a more cost efficient method to transport fresh water than trucking and minimizes operational delays due to greater certainty of water availability and elimination of truck traffic

We expect RICE will use these systems to complete substantially all of their wells going forward

Building the system beyond RICE’s water completion needs, given its expectation to contract 3rd party business

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31, 2014

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICE’s total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICE’s expected well spacing. RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations: RICE assume these locations have 7,000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing. In the Marcellus, we applies a 20% risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania. As of 12/31/14, RICE had 64,355 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 356 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Western Greene County Locations: RICE assumes these locations have 7,000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing. In Western Greene County, RICE applies a 20% risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania. As of 12/31/14, RICE had 22,000 net acres in Western Greene County which results in 139 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations: RICE assumes these locations have 7,000 foot laterals and 1,000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing. In the Upper Devonian, we applies a 20% risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania. As of 12/31/14, RICE had 77,242 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 382 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Utica Locations: RICE assumes these locations have 8,000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 138 acre spacing. In the Utica, RICE applies a 10% risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization. As of 12/31/14, RICE had 55,000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 356 undeveloped net locations. This excludes ~2,500 net acres in Guernsey and Harrison Counties in Ohio
