or any of its subsidiaries;
2. do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
that may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any Form 3,
Form 4, or Form 5 (including any amendments, corrections, supplements
or other changes thereto) and timely fil the forms with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or quotation
system, self-regulatory association or any other authority, and
provide a copy as required by law or advisable to such persons as the
attorney-in-fact deems appropriate; and
3. take any other action in connection with the foregoing that, in the
opinion of the attorney- in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best
interest of or legally required of the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by the attorney-in-fact on
behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be

attorney-in-fact may approve in the attorney-in-fact's discretion.
The undersigned hereby grants to the attorney-in-fact full power and authority
to do and perform all and every act requisite, necessary or proper to be done in
the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all
intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do if personally present,
with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming
all that the attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of
this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers grante herein. The
undersigned acknowledges that the attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity
at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming (nor is Rice Energy Inc.
assuming) any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of
the Exchange Act.
The undersigned agrees that the attorney-in-fact may rely entirely on
information furnished orally or in writing by or at the direction of the
undersigned to the attorney-in-fact. The undersigned also agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless Rice Energy Inc. and the attorney-in-fact against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in these respects) that arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statements or omissions of necessary facts in the
information provided by or at the direction of the undersigned, or upon the lack
of timeliness in the delivery of information by or at the direction of the
undersigned, to the attorney-in fact for purposes of executing, acknowledging,
delivering or filing a Form 3, Form 4, or For 5 (including any amendments,
corrections, supplements or other changes thereto) with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by Rice Energy
Inc., and agrees to reimburse Rice Energy Inc. and the attorney-in-fact on
demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action.
This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5 (including
any amendments, corrections, supplements or other changes thereto) with respect
to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by Rice
Energy Inc., unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing
delivered to the attorney-in-fact. This Power of Attorney does not revoke any
other power of attorney that the undersigned has previously granted.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of the date written below.
