PROXY STATEMENT

Annual Meeting of Stockholders
May 19, 2004

INTRODUCTION

The enclosed proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of Range Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation, for use at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The meeting will be held Wednesday, May 19, 2004 at 9:00 a.m. Central time, at the Company’s offices at 777 Main Street, Suite 800, Fort Worth, Texas 76102. The items to be considered are summarized in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and more fully described in this Proxy Statement. This Proxy Statement and the proxy form were first mailed on or about April 21, 2004, to all holders of record of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value, on April 2, 2004. Shares of the common stock represented by proxies will be voted as described below or as specified by each stockholder. Any proxy given by a stockholder may be revoked at any time prior to the voting by delivering a written notice to the Secretary of the Company, by executing and delivering a subsequently dated proxy or by attending the meeting, withdrawing the proxy and voting in person.

The persons named as proxies are John H. Pinkerton and Rodney L. Waller, President and Secretary of the Company, respectively. The cost of preparing and mailing this Proxy Statement and any other related material will be paid by the Company. The Company has retained MacKenzie Partners, Inc., 105 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10016, to assist in the solicitation. For these services, the Company will pay MacKenzie Partners a fee of $6,000 and reimburse it for certain out-of-pocket expenses. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mail, directors, officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally. The Company will request brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the common stock and will reimburse them for their expenses.

VOTING PROCEDURES

Voting Stock and Record Date

Only stockholders of record for the common stock at the close of business on April 2, 2004 will be entitled to vote at the meeting. On April 2, 2004, 56,891,566 shares of common stock were outstanding with each share entitling the holder to one vote on each matter. Stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights.

Quorum and Adjournments

The presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders holding a majority of the votes eligible to be cast is necessary to constitute a quorum at the meeting. If a quorum is not present at the meeting, the holders of a majority of the common stock entitled to vote who are present or represented by proxy at the meeting have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice, other than an announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the adjourned meeting, until a quorum is present. In addition, under the Company’s bylaws the chairman of the meeting has the power to adjourn the meeting for any reason from time to time without notice, other than an announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the adjourned meeting, provided that a new record date is not set. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted that may have been transacted at the meeting.

Votes Required

Assuming a quorum is present in each case at the meeting, the stockholders will elect directors by a plurality of the eligible votes present or represented by proxy at the meeting. Approval of Proposals 2 and 3 require an affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of stock represented at the meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposals.

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

Proposal 1 is considered a discretionary item, so the Company does not anticipate that any broker non-votes will be recorded. Brokers who hold shares in street name for customers are required to vote as the beneficial owners instruct. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to a proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Brokers are not permitted to vote on non-discretionary items if they have not received instructions from the beneficial owners. Brokers are permitted to indicate a “broker non-vote” on non-discretionary items absent instructions from the beneficial owner. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count in determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting. Both abstentions and broker non-votes will not have any effect on the outcome of voting on director elections.

Proposals 2 and 3 are considered non-discretionary items under the new regulations promulgated by the New York Stock Exchange and approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission because the proposals involve an equity-based compensation plan. Therefore, if you hold your common stock in street name with your broker, your broker will not be able to vote in favor or against the proposal without your specific instructions. Accordingly, the vote on Proposals 2 and 3 will be calculated by dividing the number of “votes for” by the sum of “votes for,” “votes against” and abstentions. Broker non-votes are not included in the calculation.

Stockholders of Record

If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by Range. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the Company or to vote in person at the meeting. The Company has enclosed a proxy card for you to use.

Beneficial Owner

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with a voting instruction card. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote and are also invited to attend the annual meeting.

Because a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares.

Voting in Person

Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted in person at the annual meeting. Shares held beneficially in street name may be voted in person only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker trustee or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the annual meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.

Default Voting

A proxy that is properly completed and returned will be voted at the meeting in accordance with the instructions on the proxy. If you properly complete and return a proxy but do not indicate any contrary voting instructions, your shares will be voted “FOR” all proposals listed in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and any other business that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement. If the Company proposes to adjourn the meeting,

proxy holders will vote all shares for which they have voting authority in favor of adjournment. The Board of Directors knows of no matters other than those stated in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and described in this Proxy Statement to be presented for consideration at the meeting.

Voting Results

We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the annual meeting and publish final results on our website and in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2004.

This Proxy Statement is dated April 21, 2004.

The Governance and Nominating Committee charter is available under Corporate Governance/Committees and Charters at the Company’s website at http://www.rangeresources.com.

Consideration of Director Nominees

The policy of the Governance and Nominating Committee is to consider properly submitted stockholder nominations for candidates for membership on the Board as described below under “Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors.” In evaluating such nominations, the Governance and Nominating Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board and to address the membership criteria set forth under “Director Qualifications.” Any stockholder nominations proposed for consideration by the Governance and Nominating Committee should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for Board membership and should be addressed to: Corporate Secretary, Range Resources Corporation, 777 Main Street, Suite 800, Fort Worth, Texas 76102.

Director Qualifications

Range’s Corporate Governance Guidelines contain Board membership criteria that apply to Governance and Nominating Committee-recommended nominees for a position on Range’s Board. Under these criteria, members of the Board should have high professional and personal ethics and values. They should have broad experience in management, policy-making and/or finance. They should be committed to enhancing stockholder value and should have sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on experience. Their service on other boards of public companies should be limited to a number that permits them, given their individual circumstances, to perform responsibly all director duties. Each director must represent the interests of all stockholders.

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors

The Governance and Nominating Committee utilizes a variety of methods to identify and evaluate nominees for director. The Nominating and Governance Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Governance and Nominating Committee through current Board members, stockholders or other persons. These candidates are evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Governance and Nominating Committee, and may be considered at any point during the year. As described above, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers properly submitted stockholder nominations for candidates for the Board. Following verification of the stockholder status of persons proposing candidates, recommendations are aggregated and considered by the Governance and Nominating Committee at a regularly scheduled meeting, which is generally the first or second meeting prior to the issuance of the proxy statement for Range’s annual meeting. If any materials are provided by a stockholder in connection with the nomination of a director candidate, such materials are forwarded to the Governance and Nominating Committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee also reviews materials provided by other parties in connection with a nominee who is not proposed by a stockholder. In evaluating such nominations, the Governance and Nominating Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board. The Governance and Nominating Committee does not expect to use a paid third party in identifying potential directors.

Executive Sessions

Executive sessions of non-management directors are held at least once a year. The sessions are scheduled and chaired by Mr. Blackburn, the non-executive Chairman of the Board. Any non-management director can request that an executive session be scheduled.

Communications with the Board

Interested parties may communicate with the non-executive Board by submitting correspondence to the Corporate Secretary at Range Resources Corporation, 777 Main Street, Suite 800, Fort Worth, Texas 76102, Attention: Non-Executive Chairman of the Board. Any confidential matters may be submitted in a separately enclosed envelope marked “confidential.” Similarly, any correspondence to Board members can be submitted as noted and such correspondence will be forwarded to the individual Board members as designated.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Upon Mr. Blackburn’s election in April 2003 as the non-executive Chairman of the Board, the Board approved a retainer of $100,000 per annum. Such retainer is paid quarterly, half in cash and half in restricted common stock of the Company issued at the then market value and placed in a deferred compensation account for Mr. Blackburn.

In September 2003, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee following its review of market data and other considerations, the Board approved an increase in director compensation. The Board maintained the annual grant of 8,000 stock options and retainer of $25,000 per annum for non-employee directors but initiated a meeting fee of $1,000 for each Board or Committee meeting that a director attends, including telephonic meetings.

The meeting fees were initiated to recognize the increased time and number of meetings required for Board service with increased responsibilities under each committee’s charters, especially the Audit Committee. The Board also approved

the recommendation of the Compensation Committee to grant each director annually 6,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of participation in the Company’s stock purchase plan.

The following table provides information on Range’s compensation and reimbursement practices during 2003 for non-employee directors, as well as the range of compensation paid to non-employee directors who served during 2003.

Employment and Change in Control Agreements

There are no employment agreements currently in effect between the Company and any Named Executive Officer. The Company has agreed to pay the Named Executive Officers the following salaries effective March 1, 2004: John H. Pinkerton - $375,000, Jeffrey L. Ventura - $240,000, Herbert A. Newhouse - $183,000, Chad L. Stephens - $175,000 and Rodney L. Waller - $180,000.

In 1997, the Board adopted a change in control plan pursuant to which officers and certain key employees (the “Management Group”) may be entitled to receive certain payments and benefits if there is a change in control and a member of the Management Group is terminated or demoted. All other employees (the “Employee Group”) may be entitled to receive more limited payments and benefits under similar conditions. Upon a change in control all non-vested securities automatically vest. If any person in the Management Group is (i) terminated within one year of a change in control or (ii) if their responsibilities or compensation is materially altered within one year of such change of control, they will receive a lump sum payment (the “Management Payment”) equal to (i) their total annual salary and benefits, plus (ii) the average of their past two annual bonuses. If any person in the Employee Group is terminated within one year of a change in control, they will receive a lump sum payment (the “Employee Payment”) equal to (i) six months of their total annual salary and benefits, plus (ii) one-half of the average of their past two annual bonuses. The amount of a Management Payment or an Employee Payment is reduced if an employee has been with the Company for less than three years. An employee would receive one-third of the payment if they have been employed by the Company for less than two years and two-thirds of the payment if they have been employed between two and three years.

As a part of Mr. Ventura’s employment, the Board approved a modification to the existing change in control plan to provide that if a change in control occurred, Mr. Ventura would be paid two times his annual salary and the average of his last two annual bonuses regardless of the length of employment.

Former Chairman’s Compensation and Consulting Agreement

Mr. Thomas J. Edelman, former Chairman of the Board from 1988 to May 2003, still serves as a consultant to the Company under a consulting arrangement expiring in May 2006. Mr. Edelman elected not to stand for reelection to the Board at the 2003 annual meeting due to his serving as Chairman of the Board of Patina Oil & Gas Corporation.

In recognition of Mr. Edelman’s work on behalf of the Company in 2003, the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, agreed to contribute 93,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company into Mr. Edelman’s deferred compensation account upon his resignation at the 2003 annual meeting. In addition, the Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, fully vested Mr. Edelman’s stock options and other benefits and allowed him to continue to hold his existing options for their full original term.

Under the terms of Mr. Edelman’s consulting agreement, he committed within certain limits to make himself available to assist Range for three years. During the term, he will provide advice to the Board and officers of the Company on specific matters as requested with a principal focus on corporate strategy, management structure, capital allocation, risk management, financial strategy, hedging and stockholder communications. In no event will Mr. Edelman be asked to speak for or represent the Company in any public forum nor will he assume decision-making responsibility on any corporate matter or be delegated signing authority. If Mr. Edelman becomes aware of any actual or potential conflict of interest between his other corporate responsibilities and his advisory work at Range, he will promptly inform the Board, recuse himself from any discussion of a matter or matters involving a potential conflict of interest or any matter with respect to which the Company and any other company of which he is a director or officer are in competition and will not seek or knowingly accept any confidential information, the possession of which would require his recusal. Range will limit its call on Mr. Edelman’s time to no more than an average of 20 hours per week in any calendar quarter. In consideration for entering into the consulting agreement, Mr. Edelman will receive $50,000 a month, payable in cash, and will be entitled to direct the Company to pay up to $2,500 per month for secretarial services during the term of the consulting agreement. Pursuant to a prior agreement, the Company will continue to pay $6,000 a month in rent on Mr. Edelman’s New York office until the lease expires in mid-2007.

Finally, during the term of the Agreement, the Board may make a written request for Mr. Edelman to provide advice or assistance with respect to an issuance of public securities by the Company or its affiliates or any contemplated merger or acquisition transaction. If asked, Mr. Edelman will attempt to provide assistance for such additional fees and under such

terms as the parties may at the time mutually agree. In this regard and all other aspects of his work for Range, Mr. Edelman will receive reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnification.

In accordance with Item 402(a)(3)(iii) of Regulation S-K of the SEC regulations, the following compensation disclosures are made since Mr. Edelman was one of the five most highly compensated executive officers of the Company in 2003 but was not serving in such capacity at the end of the fiscal year. Mr. Edelman resigned as an officer and director of the Company in May 2003. Such amounts do not reflect payments made under his continuing three-year consulting agreement.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has responsibility for overseeing all compensation arrangements affecting executive officers. The Committee’s duties include reviewing and approving officers’ salaries, setting incentive compensation and bonus targets and administering the bonus, incentive compensation and stock option plans. The Committee advises and consults with management regarding benefits and significant compensation policies and practices. This Committee also considers nominations of candidates for officer positions.

General Compensation Philosophy

The Compensation Committee believes that executive officers’ salaries and overall compensation should be competitive with similar oil and gas companies after taking into account an executive’s performance. The Committee uses stock options and other equity-based incentives to help retain and motivate employees with the goal of improving long-term performance and aligning employee’s interests with those of the stockholders.

Components of Compensation

The key elements of executive compensation are salary, bonus, stock options and restricted stock awards. In determining each component of compensation, the Compensation Committee considers an executive’s total compensation package, recommendations of the Company’s President, and other objective and subjective criteria that the Committee deems appropriate.

Salaries

The Compensation Committee reviews the salary of each executive annually and makes adjustments when the Committee thinks they are appropriate. The Committee considers each executive’s responsibilities, specific experience and performance, compensation practices of similarly situated companies and the executive’s overall contribution to the Company.

Bonuses

Executive bonuses are discretionary and based on each executive’s specific performance during the year taken in context of the Company’s overall performance.

Stock Options

The Board of Directors adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan, which was approved by the stockholders at the 1999 Annual Meeting. Employees and directors may receive awards under the Stock Option Plan. The Compensation Committee uses the Stock Option Plan to help attract, motivate and retain personnel and to reward them for contributions to the

Company. The Compensation Committee administers the Stock Option Plan in full compliance with Rule 16b-(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Compensation Committee determines the incentive awards granted to each participant and the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each award. During 2002 after a review of twenty-two exploration and production companies with market capitalizations of $600 million and below, the Compensation Committee determined that the Company had not granted stock options in the same proportion as other peer companies as part of its compensation arrangements. Therefore, greater awards were made to the executives beginning in 2002 along with other officers and key personnel.

Section 162 of the Internal Revenue Code

The Company attempts to take all proper tax deductions while maintaining the ability to pay compensation which is deemed to be in the Company’s interest, but which may not be deductible. Section 162 of the Internal Revenue Code generally imposes a $1 million per person annual limit on the amount of compensation paid to its officers unless the compensation is performance based.

Compensation of the President and CEO

The Compensation Committee considered the Company’s overall performance as well as the individual contributions of the President and CEO in determining his 2003 bonus and reviewing his salary. The Committee noted a number of achievements in 2003. The Company’s proved reserves grew 18% reaching 685 Bcfe. Drilling replaced 130% of production. A reactivated acquisition effort led to $95 million of purchases in core areas at a cost of $1.06 per mcfe. Total reserve replacement reached 286% and reserves were added at an all-in cost of $1.25 per mcfe. Based upon current future prices, capital expenditures during the year should yield a compound annual rate of return of over 40%. Production increased year over year by 6%. Net income increased 37% to $35 million as fully diluted earnings per share rose to $0.61. Debt was reduced by another $10 million down to $358 million.

In light of these and other factors, Mr. Pinkerton was awarded a $400,000 bonus of which 25% was in the form of 9,541 shares of restricted common stock. Mr. Pinkerton’s bonus was awarded in recognition of his role in the numerous improvements made in the Company’s performance during the year in production growth, reserve replacement, with the Company’s improved capital structure, finding and development cost and increases in cash flow and earnings. Mr. Pinkerton’s salary was increased to $375,000. Mr. Pinkerton was granted 175,000 options with a $10.48 exercise price under the Stock Option Plan on February 12, 2004.

Decisions on the bonuses and salary increases for other executives were influenced by the Company’s overall performance as well as the performance of the individual executive and his or her success in attaining performance goals. Additional stock options granted to executive officers by the Committee over the amounts granted in prior years was to (i) align executive compensation with the same interests as the stockholders, (ii) place more of the executive’s compensation in the form of incentive compensation, and (iii) increase the incentive portion of compensation in alignment with other peer companies.

Each of the members of the Compensation Committee is independent within the meaning of the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the engagement of the Company’s independent public accountants, monitoring the integrity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, its system of internal controls and the independence and performance of its independent auditors. This Committee also reviews the scope of the audit coverage, the annual financial statements and such other matters with respect to the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices and procedures as it may find appropriate or as have been brought to its attention. The Committee is composed of three non-employee directors and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board of Directors. The Board, in its business judgment, has determined that all members of the Committee are “independent” as required by the NYSE. Mr. V. Richard Eales was designated as the “audit committee financial expert” primarily due to, but not solely, his prior experience with public reporting companies.

Management is responsible for the financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s independent auditors for 2003, Ernst & Young LLP, are responsible for performing an audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.

The Committee held 13 meetings during 2003, ten of which were telephonic meetings. The meetings involved the discussion of the audited consolidated financial statements of the year ended December 31, 2002, the selection of Ernst & Young as new auditors, discussion of the 2003 quarterly consolidated financial statements of the Company and various

aspects of the Company’s internal controls and financial reporting. The meetings were also designed to facilitate and encourage communication and gain a better understanding of the issues involved in the preparation of the financial statements between the Committee, management and Ernst & Young. We discussed with the auditors the overall scope and plans for their audit. We met with the auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations and their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls. We have reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2003 with management and Ernst & Young. We also discussed with the auditors matters required to be discussed with audit committees under generally accepted auditing standards, including, among other things, matters related to the conduct of the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, Communication with Audit Committees. The auditors provided to us the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, and we discussed with them their independence from the Company. When considering Ernst & Young’s independence, we considered whether their provision of services to the Company beyond those rendered in connection with their audit and review of the consolidated financial statements was compatible with maintaining their independence. We also reviewed, among other things, the amount of fees paid to Ernst & Young for audit, tax and non-audit services.

Based on our review and these meetings, discussions and reports, and subject to the limitations on our role and responsibilities discussed in this report and in the Audit Committee Charter, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2003, be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not experts in the fields of accounting or auditing, including in respect of auditor independence. Members of the Committee rely without independent verification on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of Range Resources Corporation’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or that Ernst & Young is in fact “independent.”

This report has been furnished by the members of the Audit Committee.

Independent Accountants

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the dismissal of KPMG LLP as its independent auditors on March 26, 2003. The Company notified KPMG of its dismissal on March 26, 2003 and such dismissal became effective on March 26, 2003. On March 26, 2003, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Ernst & Young, LLP as its independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2003. Ernst & Young accepted its appointment as the Company’s independent auditors on April 1, 2003. During the two years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 and the subsequent interim period through March 26, 2003: (i) KPMG’s report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company have not contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and have not been qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles; and (ii) there were no disagreements between the Company and KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to KPMG’s satisfaction, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.

Both the Company and Great Lakes had their financial statements audited by the same independent public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. As in past years, it is not the Company’s practice to have the stockholders approve a recommendation for independent public accountants since such approval is not required by the SEC and is a direct responsibility of the Audit Committee, the members of which are all independent outside directors.

Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the meeting. Ernst & Young representatives will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions at the meeting.

Audit Fees

The Company’s principal accountant for 2003 was Ernst & Young LLP and for 2002 was KPMG LLP as described above. The fees billed to the Company by Ernst & Young LLP and KPMG LLP are shown in the table below. Such fees include Range’s pro rata part of fees charged to the Company’s 50% interest in Great Lakes Energy Partners, L.L.C.

	Year Ended December 31,

	2003				2002

	E&Y		KPMG		E&Y		KPMG

All other fees		-		-		-		-

	$	450,938	$	84,073	$	76,418	$	471,115

Audit fees consists of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company’s financial statements included in quarterly reports and services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.

Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include accounting consultations in connection with acquisitions, attest services that are not required by statute or regulation, and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. The $225,250 of fees shown in 2002 for KPMG related to the re-audit of the Company’s 1999 through 2001 financial statements.

Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. These services include tax assistance regarding federal and state compliance, tax audit defense, mergers and acquisitions. The current year includes charges relating to a deferred tax reconciliation project.

All other fees consist of fees for products and services other than services reported above.

Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures

The Audit Committee must give prior approval to any management request for any amount or type of service (audit, audit-related and tax services or to the extent permitted by law, non-audit services) the Company’s independent auditor provides. All audit, audit-related and tax services rendered by Ernst & Young in 2003 were approved by the Audit Committee before Ernst & Young was engaged for such services. No services of any kind were approved pursuant to a waiver permitted pursuant to 17 CFR 210.2-01(c)(7)(i)(C). Consultation and approval of such services for 2003 occurred during the regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Mr. Edelman, consultant to the Company, also serves as an executive officer, director and is a major stockholder of Patina Oil & Gas Corporation, a publicly traded independent oil company headquartered in Denver, Colorado. In addition, Mr. Edelman is Chairman of Bear Cub Investments, LLC, a privately held marketer of natural gas liquids and other petroleum products also headquartered in Denver. The Company, Patina and Bear Cub have never had any business dealings and have never held interests in any of the same properties or operations.

PROPOSAL 2 -- APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S
2004 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

General

The Board of Directors has recommended, subject to stockholder approval, the adoption of the Range Resources Corporation 2004 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The material features of the Plan are described below. The maximum number of shares of common stock (the “Shares”) that may be subject to outstanding options under the proposed Plan is 300,000 shares. The Plan provides for the grant of options to any member of the Board of Directors whose services are deemed to be of potential benefit to the Company. Options granted under the Plan should be eligible for full income tax deductions to the Company for compensation expense relating to the exercise of such options.

The Board believes that the Plan will be of benefit to the Company by authorizing the grant of options to purchase Shares that can be used to attract, retain and reward high quality members of the Board of Directors.

Proposed Adoption of the Plan - General

The proposed Plan will allow the Board of Directors to designate a committee (the “Committee”) composed of outside directors to grant non-qualified stock options. Under the proposed Plan, options may be granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The Plan also provides for the Committee to permit in its discretion certain transfers of options.

Description of the Plan

The description of the proposed Plan set forth below is a summary of the principal features of the proposed Plan. This summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of all of the provisions of the proposed Plan. The description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the proposed Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B and incorporated by this reference.

Administration of the Plan. The Plan will be administered, except to the extent the Board of Directors elects otherwise, by the Committee, which will be composed of two or more directors designated by the Board of Directors who are “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

Unless otherwise specified by the Board of Directors, the Committee will have full and final authority to administer the Plan in the manner that it determines, from time to time, is in the best interests of the Company. This includes the authority to grant stock options under the Plan, construe and interpret the Plan, determine the number and other terms and conditions of, and all other matters relating to options, to delegate duties with respect to the Plan, to terminate, modify, or amend the Plan to the extent ratified by the Board of Directors, and to execute all other responsibilities permitted or required under the Plan. Except for the limitation described below on the total number of Shares that may be issued to all persons under the Plan, the Plan does not specify limits as to the total of amounts that may be paid to any one recipient or to all recipients pursuant to options under the Plan.

Shares Subject to the Plan. The total number of Shares reserved and available for delivery in connection with options under the Plan, subject to adjustments for Share splits and other similar transactions, will be 300,000 shares. As of March 31, 2004, the mean of the high and low sales prices of a Share as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape was $12.07. If Shares subject to any option are not issued or transferred, or cease to be issuable or transferable for any reason, including (but not exclusively) because an option is forfeited, terminated, expires unexercised, or is settled in cash in lieu of Shares or is exchanged for other options, the Shares that were subject to that option shall again be available for issue, transfer or exercise pursuant to options under the Plan to the extent of such forfeiture, termination, expiration, settlement or exchange. The Shares sold pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares, Shares held in the treasury of the Company or Shares that have been reacquired by the Company. There are no fees, commissions or other charges applicable to a purchase of Shares under the Plan.

The number and kind of Shares to be delivered or used for measurement under the Plan may be subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, mergers and other changes affecting the capital stock of the Company.

Eligibility. Any non-employee member of the Board of Directors whose services are deemed of potential benefit to the Company is eligible to participate in the Plan. As of March 31, 2004, it is estimated that approximately six persons will be eligible to participate in the proposed Plan.

Terms and Conditions of Stock Options. The proposed Plan authorizes grants of non-qualified stock options to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The exercise price of each stock option granted under the Plan shall be stated in the agreement governing such stock option and must not be less than the fair market value of the Shares subject to the option as of the date of grant.

The Committee may impose upon the exercise of any option such additional terms and conditions as the Committee will determine, including terms requiring forfeiture of options in the event of termination of service as a member of the Board of Directors and terms permitting an option holder to make elections relating to his or her options. The Committee will retain full power and discretion to accelerate or waive, at any time, any term or condition of an option that is not mandatory under the Plan. Options granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, or in addition to, in tandem with, or in exchange for, other options. The term of each option will be for such period as may be determined by the Committee; provided that in no event will the term of any option exceed a period of ten years. No option may be granted under the Plan after December 31, 2014.

Unless permitted by the Committee pursuant to the express terms of an option agreement, options will generally not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee may allow for the transfer of options, prior to an option holder’s death, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order and to certain immediate family members or entities related to an immediate family member even in the absence of a qualified domestic relations order.

Amendment and Termination. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Plan without the consent of stockholders or eligible persons, except that any amendment to the Plan will be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders no later than the annual meeting next following such Board of Directors’ action if such stockholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares may then be listed or quoted. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, submit other changes to the Plan to stockholders for approval. However, without the consent of an affected option holder, no Board of Directors or stockholder action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such option holder under any previously granted and outstanding option.

Recapitalization and Reorganization. The terms of options and the number of Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan will be subject to adjustment in the event that the Company shall subdivide as a whole or shall consolidate as a whole and exercise prices shall be adjusted accordingly. In the event of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Plan) and as specified in an option agreement, options may be (i) accelerated and exercisable in full for a limited period of time before or after the Change in Control, after which specified date the options shall terminate; (ii) surrendered to the Company as of a specified date, before or after a Change in Control, in which event the options shall be cancelled by the Committee and the option holder will be paid an amount of cash equal to the excess of the “Change in Control Price” (as defined in the Plan) over the exercise price of the option; (iii) adjusted as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect the Change in Control; or (iv) adjusted so that the option will thereafter cover the number and class of shares of stock or other securities or property to which the holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of an agreement of merger, consolidation or sale of assets and dissolution if, immediately prior to such event, the holder had been the holder of record of the number of Shares then covered by the option.

Section 16(b) Liability. It is the intent of the Company that the grant of any options to or other transaction by an option recipient who is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act will be exempt from liability under Section 16(b) pursuant to an applicable exemption (except for transactions acknowledged in writing to be non-exempt by such option recipient). Accordingly, if a provision of the Plan or any option agreement does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, such provision will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such Rule so that the option recipient avoids liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of Options under the Plan

Set forth below is a summary of the federal income tax consequences to option recipients and to the Company as a result of the grant and exercise of options under the Plan. This summary is based on statutory provisions, Treasury regulations thereunder, judicial decisions, and Internal Revenue Service rulings in effect on the date hereof. This summary

does not discuss any potential foreign, state, or local tax consequences.

Non-Qualified Stock Options. Option holders will not realize taxable income upon the grant of a non-qualified stock option. Upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, an option holder will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of the Shares received, over (ii) the exercise price paid therefor. An option holder will generally have a tax basis in any Shares received pursuant to the exercise of a non-qualified stock option that equals the fair market value of such Shares on the date of exercise. Subject to the discussion under “Tax Code Limitations on Deductibility,” the Company will be entitled to a deduction for federal income tax purposes that corresponds as to timing and amount with the compensation income recognized by an option holder under the foregoing rules.

Tax Code Limitations on Deductibility. In order for the amounts described above to be deductible by the Company, such amounts must constitute reasonable compensation for services rendered or to be rendered and must be ordinary and necessary business expenses. The ability of the Company to obtain a deduction for future payments under the Plan could also in some circumstances be limited by the golden parachute payment rules of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which prevent the deductibility of certain excess parachute payments made in connection with a change in control of a corporation.

Benefits Under the Plan

The options, if any, that will be granted to eligible persons under the Plan are subject to the discretion of the Committee and, therefore, are not determinable at this time.

Required Vote and Recommendation

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock represented at the meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposals at the meeting is required after considering any abstentions. If the proposed adoption of the Plan is not approved by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the Plan will not be adopted and no options will be granted thereunder. See “Votes Required” and “Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions” for further details on voting procedures.

The Board of Directors of Range Resources Corporation recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the adoption of the Plan.

Subject to Stockholder approval, the Board of Directors has approved an amendment to Article V(a) of the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized to be issued under the Stock Option Plan by 500,000 shares from 8,750,000 shares to 9,250,000. A complete copy of the proposed amendment is attached as Exhibit C and a full copy of the current Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan is attached as Exhibit D. The statements made in this Proxy Statement regarding the amendment to the Company’s Stock Option Plan should be read in conjunction with and are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits C and D.

Description of the Stock Option Plan

All employees, directors and consultants of the Company are eligible to receive awards consisting of stock options and stock appreciation rights (collectively the “Incentive Awards”) under the Stock Option Plan. The Plan does not include restricted stock awards. The Stock Option Plan is intended as an incentive to attract and help retain key personnel and to reward them for making contributions to the Company. Currently, an aggregate of 8,750,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Option Plan. Further, solely for Section 162(m) purposes of the Internal Revenue Code, no more than 500,000 shares of common stock may be subject to Incentive Awards granted to any one individual during any calendar year under the Plan. The preceding numbers may be adjusted upon a reorganization, stock split, recapitalization or other change in the Company’s capital structure.

Administration

The Compensation Committee of the Board administers the Stock Option Plan. The Committee complies with Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Committee consists of two or more outside directors (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code). Subject to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, the Committee is authorized to determine the type or types of Incentive Awards made to each participant and the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each. In addition, the Committee has the power to interpret the Stock Option Plan, to adopt such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or appropriate in keeping with the objectives of the Stock Option Plan. When granting Incentive Awards, the Committee considers such factors as an individual’s duties and their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company.

Eligibility

The selection of eligible participants is at the discretion of the Committee. Currently, approximately 150 employees, its outside directors and an undetermined number of consultants would be eligible to participate in the Stock Option Plan.

Termination

The Stock Option Plan was effective on March 24, 1999. No further awards may be granted under the Stock Option Plan after ten years, and the Plan will terminate once all Incentive Awards have been satisfied or have expired. The Board may, however, terminate the Stock Option Plan at any time without prejudice to the holders of any then outstanding Incentive Awards.

Benefits Offered

An option is the right to purchase a share of Common Stock at a price (the “Exercise Price”) fixed at date of grant. Options granted pursuant to the Plan may either be “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or options that do not constitute incentive stock options (“non-qualified stock options”). Options become exercisable on dates established by the Committee (but not more than ten years from date of grant in the case of incentive stock options). The Exercise Price and the number of options are determined by the Committee but the Exercise Price may not be set at less than fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. If an incentive stock option is granted to an employee who then owns, directly or by attribution under the Code, shares possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or a subsidiary, the term of the option will not exceed five years, and the Exercise Price will be at least 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on date of grant. The Committee designates whether options are incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options at date of grant. If, however, the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of shares with respect to which incentive stock options become exercisable for the first time by an employee exceeds $100,000 in any calendar year, the options with respect to the excess shares must be non-qualified stock options. The Exercise Price may, at the discretion of the Committee, be paid in cash, other shares of Common Stock, or by a combination of cash and Common Stock. The Plan also allows the Committee, to establish procedures pursuant to which a recipient may affect a “cashless” exercise of options through a brokerage firm. All options are evidenced by written agreements containing provisions consistent with the Plan and such other provisions as the Committee deems appropriate. No incentive stock option is transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and only the employee or his or her guardian or legal representative may exercise any option during the employee’s lifetime.

Stock appreciation rights are rights to receive, without payment to the Company, cash or shares of Common Stock with a value determined by reference to the difference between the exercise price of the stock appreciation right and the fair market value of the Common Stock at date of exercise. The exercise price of a stock appreciation right must be determined by the Committee but at no less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on date of grant (or such greater exercise price as may be required in regard to a stock appreciation right granted in connection with an incentive stock option). A stock appreciation right may be exercised at such times as determined by the Committee.

Transferability of Benefit

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Incentive Awards (other than incentive stock options) are not transferable except by will or by laws of descent and distribution or by a qualified domestic relations order. Incentive stock options may only be transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Plan provides that stock options and stock appreciation rights may be granted in substitution for stock options held by officers and employees of other corporations who

are about to, or who have, become employees of the Company or an affiliate as a result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets or similar transaction by the Company or a subsidiary.

Amendment to the Plan

The Board has the right to amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan, except that it may not, (a) amend the Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan or (b) change the class of individuals eligible to receive Incentive Awards, without an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at a Stockholder meeting; provided, further under NYSE rules that the total vote cast at the meeting represents over 50% of all the securities entitled to vote on the proposal.

Change of Control

The Plan provides that, upon a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined), and except as provided in any Incentive Award agreement, outstanding Incentive Awards immediately vest and become exercisable or satisfiable, as applicable. Any Incentive Award that is a stock option will continue to be exercisable for the remainder of its applicable option term. However, the Compensation Committee in its discretion may cancel Incentive Awards and make payments in cash or adjust the Incentive Awards to reflect the Change of Control. The Plan provides that a Change in Control occurs if the Company (a) is dissolved and liquidated, (b) is not the surviving entity in any merger or consolidation, (c) sells, leases or exchanges or agrees to sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of its assets, (d) if any person, entity or group acquires or gains ownership or control of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s voting stock or (e) if after a contested election of directors, the persons who were directors before the election cease to constitute a majority of the Board.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion of tax considerations relating to options describes only certain U.S. federal income tax matters. No consideration has been given to the effects of state, local or other tax laws on the Stock Option Plan or Incentive Award recipients. The discussion is general in nature and does not take into account a number of considerations that may apply to a particular recipient’s circumstances.

Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. As a general rule, no federal income tax is imposed on the recipient upon the grant of a non-qualified stock option (whether or not including a stock appreciation right) and the Company is not entitled to a tax deduction by making a grant. Generally, upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the recipient will be treated as receiving compensation taxable as ordinary income in the year of exercise in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise less the option price paid. In the case of the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the recipient will be treated as receiving compensation taxable as ordinary income in the year of exercise in an amount equal to the cash received plus the fair market value of the shares distributed to the recipient. Upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option or a stock appreciation right, and subject to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code as discussed below, the Company may claim a deduction for compensation paid at the same time and in the same amount as compensation income is recognized to the recipient assuming any federal income tax reporting requirements are satisfied. Upon a subsequent disposition of the shares received when a non-qualified stock option or a stock appreciation right is exercised, any appreciation after the date of exercise should qualify as capital gain. If the shares received upon the exercise of an option or a stock appreciation right are transferred to the recipient subject to certain restrictions, then the taxable income realized, unless the recipient elects otherwise, and the Company’s tax deduction (assuming any federal income tax reporting requirements are satisfied) is deferred and is calculated based on the fair market value of the shares when the restrictions lapse. The restrictions imposed on officers, directors and 10% stockholders by Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act is a restriction if other shares have been purchased within six months of the exercise of a non-qualified stock option or stock appreciation right.

Incentive Stock Options. The incentive stock options under the Stock Option Plan are intended to constitute “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Incentive stock options are subject to special federal income tax treatment. No federal income tax is imposed on the recipient upon the grant or the exercise of an incentive stock option if the recipient does not dispose of shares acquired within the two-year period beginning on the date the option was granted or within the one-year period beginning on the date the option was exercised (collectively, the “holding period”). In such event, the Company would not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes in connection with the grant or exercise of the option or the disposition of the shares.

The holder of an incentive stock option may be subject to the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) in the year the incentive stock option is exercised. The difference between the fair market value of the stock on the exercise date and the exercise price is defined as preference income by the Code and are subject to an AMT calculation. The AMT calculation is made in the same tax year as the regular, ordinary income tax calculation. The option holder is required to generally pay the greater of the AMT or the ordinary income tax. In addition at the time the option holder sells the incentive stock option shares, the holder will (assuming the shares are held one year or more) be required to pay capital gains tax on the difference between the sale and exercise prices. This is true whether or not the recipient paid ordinary income tax or AMT during the year the option was exercised. If the recipient exercises an incentive stock option and disposes of the shares received in the same year and the amount realized is less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, the amount included in alternative minimum taxable income will not exceed the amount realized over the adjusted basis of the shares.

Upon disposition of the shares received upon exercise of an incentive stock option after the holding period, any appreciation of the shares above the exercise price should constitute capital gain. If a recipient disposes of shares acquired by the exercise of an incentive stock option prior to the end of the holding period, the recipient will be treated as having received, at the time of disposition, compensation taxable as ordinary income. In this event, and subject to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code as discussed below, the Company may claim a deduction for compensation paid at the same time and in the same amount as compensation recognized by the recipient. The amount treated as compensation is the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise (or in the case of a sale in which a loss would be recognized, the amount realized on the sale if less) less the exercise price; any amount realized in excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise would be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on the holding period of the shares.

Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code precludes a public corporation from taking a deduction for annual compensation in excess of $1 million paid to its chief executive officer or any of its four other highest-paid officers. However, compensation that qualifies under Section 162(m) of the Code as “performance-based” is specifically exempt from the deduction limit. Based on Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations, the Company’s ability to deduct compensation income generated in connection with the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights granted under the Stock Option Plan should not be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code.

Inapplicability of ERISA. Based upon current law and published interpretations, the Company does not believe the Stock Option Plan is subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Outstanding Plan Benefits

As of April 2, 2004, 829,117 shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the Plan. A total of 4,298,819 options have been granted and are outstanding under the Plan of which 1,381,265 are currently exercisable.

(a)

Although the Company does not maintain a formal plan, common stock is issued to officers and key employees in lieu of cash for bonuses and company matches under the Company’s deferred compensation arrangements if elected by the employee. All such issuances are approved by the Compensation Committee, which is composed of three independent directors. Issuances to Named Employees are disclosed in the Company’s proxy statements.

(b)

There are no equity compensation plans, as defined by NYSE, that have not been approved by security holders.

Reason for the Proposed Amendment

The purpose of increasing the number of options that may be granted under the Plan is to maintain the Company’s ability to attract and retain experienced and knowledgeable employees. Providing an equity interest in the Company gives them an incentive to perform and excel. The Board believes that equity-based incentives align the interests of management, employees and stockholders. Stock options are an important element in attracting and retaining employees. All full-time employees of the Company participate in the Stock Option Plan.

Given the intense competition for talented individuals, the Company’s ability to offer competitive compensation packages, including those with equity-based incentives is particularly important.

If the Stockholders approve the amendment, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan would be increased by 500,000 shares to a total of 9,250,000 shares. It is the Company’s practice to grant options to new professionals and executives as they are hired and to all full-time employees when the annual performance-based compensation review is completed, generally in February or March of each year. During 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and so far during 2004, the Board has approved the issuance of 643,200, 774,350, 1,486,850, 1,422,900 and 1,275,500 options, respectively, under the Plan. The Compensation Committee specifically approves all option grants to officers and the total of all stock options allowable to be granted each year to all other employees. As of April 2, 2004, 829,117 shares have been issued pursuant to exercise of options granted under the Plan and 4,298,819 options have been granted and are currently outstanding under the Stock Option Plan.

The increase in the number of authorized shares under the Plan is needed to allow it to continue to function and empower the Board with the ability to administer the Plan on a long-term basis by having a sufficient number of options available to develop a long-term compensation strategy. The Board believes that stock options clearly align the interest of the employee with the stockholder and only rewards the employee if the common stock grows in value. From an analysis of our peer companies, the number of stock options awarded to our executive officers over the last five years is well below the average. The Board would like the ability to make larger, long-term awards to executives so that a significant portion of their compensation would be aligned with the stockholder in the form of stock options. Based upon historical data of peer companies, it appears that the Company until 2002 had not granted stock options in the same proportion as other peer companies as part of its compensation arrangements. Therefore, the Board would like to add to the total shares authorized to be issued under the Plan at modest amounts each year to continue to be comparable to peer companies and make executive officers’ compensation and performance more directly linked to growing the value of the common stock. Given the 56.9 million shares of common stock currently outstanding, an increase of 500,000 shares would constitute a maximum potential dilution of less than 1.0%.

Required Vote and Recommendation

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock represented at the meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposals at the meeting is required after considering any abstentions. See “Votes Required” and “Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions” for further details on voting procedures.

The Board believes adoption of the amendment is in the Company’s best interest and recommends that the stockholders vote FOR it.

SECURITY HOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

Only a single copy of the proxy statement is being delivered to multiple stockholders sharing a common address unless the Company receives contrary instructions from stockholders sharing a common address. Upon a written request to the Secretary of the Company at 777 Main Street, Suite 800, Fort Worth, Texas 76102, or an oral request made to Karen Giles at (817) 810-1938, the Company will deliver promptly a separate copy of the proxy statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of this proxy statement was delivered. By written request to the same address or an oral request to the above telephone extension (i) a stockholder may direct a notification to the Company that the stockholder wishes to receive a separate annual report or proxy statement in the future or (ii) stockholders who are sharing an address and who are receiving delivery of multiple copies of the Company’s annual reports or proxy statements can request delivery of only a single copy of these documents to their shared address.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Company’s stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of such reports are required to be furnished to the Company.

Based solely on a review of such forms furnished to the Company and certain written representations from the executive officers and directors, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with on a timely basis during 2003, except due to the Company’s error in notifying the following executives of deferred compensation plan activities in the first quarter of 2003, the reporting of 18,157 shares of stock was delayed until June 13, 2003 by Messers. Pinkerton for 6,004 shares, Stephens for 2,843 shares, Waller for 2,903 shares, and Edelman for 6,407 shares. In addition, Mr. Pinkerton did not report 997 shares associated with a Company deferred compensation plan match from June 2002 until June 13, 2003.

OTHER BUSINESS

Management knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the meeting, but should any other matters be brought before the meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote such proxy at their discretion.

ANNUAL REPORT

The Annual Report for the year-ended December 31, 2003 accompanies this Proxy Statement. The Annual Report is not a part of the proxy soliciting material.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2005 ANNUAL MEETING

Any stockholder desiring to present a stockholder proposal at the 2005 Annual Meeting and to have the proposal included in our proxy statement must send it to the Secretary of the Company at 777 Main Street, Suite 800, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 so that it is received on or before December 22, 2004. All such proposals should be in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. We will only include in the proxy materials those stockholder proposals that we receive prior to the deadline and that are proper for stockholder action.

Any stockholder who desires to present proposals at our Annual Meeting in 2005 but does not wish to have the proposals included in our proxy statement for the meeting must submit those proposals to the Secretary of the Company no later than March 6, 2005. If we do not receive proposals by that time, the persons named in the proxies we solicit for the 2005 Annual Meeting will vote their proxies at their discretion in regard to the proposals.

3. Administration.

3.1 Authority of the Committee. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee except to the extent the Board elects to administer this Plan, in which case references herein to the “Committee” shall be deemed to include references to the “Board.” Subject to the express provisions of the Plan and Rule 16b-3, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to 3.1.1 adopt, amend, and rescind administrative and interpretive rules and regulations relating to the Plan; 3.1.2 determine the Eligible Persons to whom, and the time or times at which, Options shall be granted; 3.1.3 determine the number of shares of Stock that shall be the subject of each Option; 3.1.4 determine the terms and provisions of each Option agreement (which need not be identical), including provisions defining or otherwise relating to 3.1.4.1 the term and the period or periods and extent of exercisability of the Options, 3.1.4.2 the extent to which the transferability of Options and/or shares of Stock issued or transferred pursuant to any Option is restricted, 3.1.4.3 the effect of termination of employment of a Participant on an Option, and 3.1.4.4 the effect of approved leaves of absence (consistent with any applicable regulations of the Internal Revenue Service); 3.1.5 accelerate the time of exercisability of any Option that has been granted; 3.1.6 construe the respective Option agreements and the Plan; 3.1.7 make determinations of the Fair Market Value of the Stock pursuant to the Plan; 3.1.8 delegate its duties under the Plan to such agents as it may appoint from time to time, provided that the Committee may not delegate its duties with respect to making Options to, or otherwise with respect to Options granted to, Eligible Persons who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; 3.1.9 subject to ratification by the Board, terminate, modify, or amend the Plan; and 3.1.10 make all other determinations, perform all other acts, and exercise all other powers and authority necessary or advisable for administering the Plan, including the delegation of those ministerial acts and responsibilities as the Committee deems appropriate. Subject to Rule 16b-3, the Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, in any Option, or in any Option agreement in the manner and to the extent it deems necessary or desirable to carry the Plan into effect, and the Committee shall be the sole and final judge of that necessity or desirability. The determinations of the Committee on the matters referred to in this Section 3(a) shall be final and conclusive.

3.2 Manner of Exercise of Committee Authority. At any time that a member of the Committee is not a Qualified Member, any action of the Committee relating to an Option granted or to be granted to a Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company, may be taken either 3.1.11 by a subcommittee, designated by the Committee, composed solely of two or more Qualified Members, or 3.1.12 by the Committee but with each such member who is not a Qualified Member abstaining or recusing himself or herself from such action; provided, however, that, upon such abstention or recusal, the Committee remains composed solely of two or more Qualified Members. Such action, authorized by such a subcommittee or by the Committee upon the abstention or recusal of such non-Qualified Member(s), shall be the action of the Committee for purposes of this Plan. Any action of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, its Subsidiaries, stockholders, Participants, Beneficiaries, and transferees under Section 9(a) hereof or other persons claiming rights from or through a Participant. The express grant of any specific power to the Committee, and the taking of any action by the Committee, shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Committee. The Committee may delegate to officers or managers of the Company or any Subsidiary, or committees thereof, the authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine, to perform such functions, including administrative functions, as the Committee may determine, to the extent that such delegation will not result in the loss of an exemption under Rule 16b-3(d)(1) for Options granted to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company. The Committee may appoint agents to assist it in administering this Plan.

3.3 Limitation of Liability. The Committee and each member thereof shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, the Company’s legal counsel, independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of this Plan. Members of the Committee and any officer or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to this Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Company with respect to any such action or determination.

4. Stock Subject to Plan.

4.1 Overall Number of Shares Available for Delivery. Subject to adjustment in a manner consistent with any adjustment made pursuant to Section 8, the total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for delivery in connection with Options under this Plan shall not exceed 300,000 shares.

B-4

4.2 Application of Limitation to Grants of Options. No Option may be granted if the number of shares of Stock to be delivered in connection with such Option exceeds the number of shares of Stock remaining available under this Plan minus the number of shares of Stock issuable in settlement of or relating to then-outstanding Options. The Committee may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting, avoid double counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem or substitute awards) and make adjustments if the number of shares of Stock actually delivered differs from the number of shares previously counted in connection with an Option.

4.3 Availability of Shares Not Delivered under Options. Shares of Stock subject to an Option under this Plan that expire or are canceled, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise terminated without a delivery of shares to the Participant, including 4.1.1 the number of shares withheld in payment of any exercise or purchase price of an Option or taxes relating to Options, and 4.1.2 the number of shares surrendered in payment of any exercise or purchase price of an Option or taxes relating to any Option, will again be available for Options under this Plan.

4.4 Stock Offered. The shares to be delivered under the Plan shall be made available from 4.1.3 authorized but unissued shares of Stock, 4.1.4 Stock held in the treasury of the Company, or 4.1.5 previously issued shares of Stock reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market, in each situation as the Board or the Committee may determine from time to time at its sole option.

5. Eligibility. Options may be granted under this Plan only to Eligible Persons.

6. Specific Terms of Options.

6.1 General. Options may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Option or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter (subject to Section 6(b) and Section 9(b)), such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as the Committee shall determine, including terms requiring forfeiture of Options in the event of termination of a Participant’s service on the Board and terms permitting a Participant to make elections relating to his or her Option. The Committee shall retain full power and discretion to accelerate, waive or modify, at any time, any term or condition of an Option that is not mandatory under this Plan.

6.2 Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants on the following terms and conditions:

	6.2.1 Exercise Price. Each Option agreement shall state the exercise price per share of Stock (the “Exercise Price”) which shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant of the Option.

	6.2.2 Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which or the circumstances under which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the methods by which such Exercise Price may be paid or deemed to be paid, the form of such payment, including, without limitation, cash, Stock or awards granted under other plans of the Company or any Subsidiary, or other property (including notes or other contractual obligations of Participants to make payment on a deferred basis), and the methods by or forms in which Stock will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless provided otherwise in an Option agreement, any Participant that is terminated following the vesting of any Option and/or the lapse of a risk of forfeiture associated with any Option shall continue to hold such Option, until the expiration or exercise of the Option, to the extent such Option is vested and/or no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture at the time of the Participant’s termination.

7. Certain Provisions Applicable to Options.

7.1 Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Options. Options granted under this Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution or exchange for, any other Option or any award granted under another plan of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company or any Subsidiary. Such additional, tandem and substitute or exchange Options may be granted at any time. If an Option is granted

B-5

in substitution or exchange for another Option, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Option in consideration for the grant of the new Option.

7.2 Term of Options. The term of each Option shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee; provided that in no event shall the term of any Option exceed a period of ten years.

7.3 Form and Timing of Payment under Options; Deferrals. Subject to the terms of this Plan and any applicable Option agreement, payments to be made by the Company upon the exercise of an Option may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, Stock or other property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis. The exercise of any Option may be accelerated, and cash paid in lieu of Stock in connection with such settlement, in the discretion of the Committee or upon occurrence of one or more specified events. Installment or deferred payments may be required by the Committee (subject to Section 9(b) of this Plan, including the consent provisions thereof in the case of any deferral of an outstanding Option not provided for in the original Option agreement) or permitted at the election of the Participant on terms and conditions established by the Committee. Payments may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend Equivalents or other amounts in respect of installment or deferred payments denominated in Stock. Any deferral shall only be allowed as is provided in a separate deferred compensation plan adopted by the Company. This Plan shall not constitute an “employee benefit plan” for purposes of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

7.4 Exemptions from Section 16(b) Liability. It is the intent of the Company that the grant of any Options to or other transaction by a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exempt from Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to an applicable exemption (except for transactions acknowledged in writing to be non-exempt by such Participant). Accordingly, if any provision of this Plan or any Option agreement does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 as then applicable to any such transaction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that such Participant shall avoid liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

8. Recapitalization or Reorganization.

8.1 Existence of Plans and Options. The existence of this Plan and the Options granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities ahead of or affecting Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.

8.2 Subdivision or Consolidation of Shares. The terms of an Option and the number of shares of Stock authorized pursuant to Section 4 for issuance under the Plan shall be subject to adjustment from time to time, in accordance with the following provisions:

	1. If at any time, or from time to time, the Company shall subdivide as a whole (by reclassification, by a Stock split, by the issuance of a distribution on Stock payable in Stock, or otherwise) the number of shares of Stock then outstanding into a greater number of shares of Stock, then (A) the maximum number of shares of Stock available for the Plan as provided in Section 4 shall be increased proportionately, and the kind of shares or other securities available for the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted, (B) the number of shares of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) that may be acquired under any Option shall be increased proportionately, and (C) the exercise price for each share of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) subject to then outstanding Options shall be reduced proportionately, without changing the aggregate purchase price or value as to which outstanding Options remain exercisable or subject to restrictions.

	2. If at any time, or from time to time, the Company shall consolidate as a whole (by reclassification, reverse Stock split, or otherwise) the number of shares of Stock then outstanding into a lesser number of shares of Stock, (A) the maximum number of shares of Stock available for the Plan as provided in Section 4 shall be decreased proportionately, and the kind of shares or other securities available for the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted, (B) the number of shares of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) that may be acquired under any Option shall be decreased proportionately, and (C) the exercise price for each share of Stock (or other

B-6

	kind of shares or securities) subject to then outstanding Options shall be increased proportionately, without changing the aggregate purchase price or value as to which outstanding Options remain exercisable or subject to restrictions.

	3. Whenever the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options and the price for each share of Stock subject to outstanding Options are required to be adjusted as provided in this Section 8(b), the Committee shall promptly prepare and deliver to Participants a notice setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the change in price and the number of shares of Stock, other securities, cash, or property purchasable subject to each Option after giving effect to the adjustments. The Committee shall promptly give each Participant such a notice.

	4. Adjustments under Subsections 8(b)(i) and (ii) shall be made by the Committee, and its determination as to what adjustments shall be made and the extent thereof shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

8.3 Corporate Restructuring. If the Company recapitalizes, reclassifies its capital stock, or otherwise changes its capital structure (a “recapitalization”), the number and class of shares of Stock covered by an Option theretofore granted shall be adjusted so that such Option shall thereafter cover the number and class of shares of stock and securities to which the holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, immediately prior to the recapitalization, the holder had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Stock then covered by such Option. Upon a Change in Control the Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any holder, shall effect one or more of the following alternatives, which may vary among individual holders and which may vary among Options held by any individual holder: i. accelerate the time at which Options then outstanding may be exercised so that such Options may be exercised in full for a limited period of time on or before a specified date (before or after such Change in Control) fixed by the Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Options and all rights of holders thereunder shall terminate; ii. require the mandatory surrender to the Company by selected holders of some or all of the outstanding Options held by such holders (irrespective of whether such Options are then exercisable under the provisions of the Plan) as of a date, before or after such Change in Control, specified by the Committee, in which event the Committee shall thereupon cancel such Options and pay to each holder an amount of cash per share equal to the excess, if any, of the amount calculated in Section 8(d) (the “Change in Control Price”) of the shares subject to such Option over the exercise price(s) under such Options for such shares; iii. make such adjustments to Options then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in Control (provided, however, that the Committee may determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment is necessary to Options then outstanding); or iv. provide that the number and class of shares of Stock covered by an Option theretofore granted shall be adjusted so that such Option shall thereafter cover the number and class of shares of stock or other securities or property (including, without limitation, cash) to which the holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the agreement of merger, consolidation or sale of assets and dissolution if, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale of assets and dissolution, the holder had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Stock then covered by such Option.

8.4 Change in Control Price. The “Change in Control Price” shall equal the amount determined in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), whichever is applicable, as follows: (i) the per share price offered to holders of the same class of Stock of the Company in any such merger, consolidation, sale of assets or dissolution transaction, (ii) the price per share offered to holders of the same class of Stock of the Company in any tender offer or exchange offer whereby a Change in Control takes place, or (iii) if such Change in Control occurs other than pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, the fair market value per share of the shares into which such Options being surrendered are exercisable, as determined by the Committee as of the date determined by the Committee to be the date of cancellation and surrender of such Options. In the event that the consideration offered to stockholders of the Company in any transaction described in this Section 8(d) or Section 8(c) above consists of anything other than cash, the Committee shall determine the fair cash equivalent of the portion of the consideration offered which is other than cash.

8.5 Additional Issuances. Except as expressly provided in this Plan, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to Options theretofore granted or the purchase price per share, if applicable.

9. General Provisions.

B-7

9.1 Transferability.

	9.1.1 Permitted Transferees. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit a Participant to transfer all or any portion of an Option, or authorize all or a portion of any Option to be granted to an Eligible Person to be on terms which permit transfer by such Participant, to (A) the spouse, children or grandchildren of the Participant or other relative approved by the Committee (“Immediate Family Members”), (B) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members, or (C) a partnership or limited liability company in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners or members as applicable (collectively, “Permitted Transferees”); provided that (X) there may be no consideration for any such transfer and (Y) subsequent transfers of Options transferred as provided above shall be prohibited except subsequent transfers back to the original holder of the Option and transfers to other Permitted Transferees of the original holder. Option agreements with respect to which such transferability is authorized at the time of grant must be approved by the Committee and must expressly provide for transferability in a manner consistent with this Subsection 9(a).

	9.1.2 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. Options may be transferred pursuant to qualified domestic relations orders entered or approved by a court of competent jurisdiction upon delivery to the Company of written notice of such transfer and a certified copy of such order.

	9.1.3 Other Transfers. Except as expressly permitted by Subsections 9(a)(i) and 9(a)(ii), Options shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

	9.1.4 Effect of Transfer. Following the transfer of any Option as contemplated by Subsections 9(a)(i), 9(a)(ii) and 9(a)(iii), (A) such Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that the term “Participant” shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, the recipient under a qualified domestic relations order, or the estate or heirs of a deceased Participant, as applicable, to the extent appropriate to enable the Participant to exercise the transferred Option in accordance with the terms of this Plan and applicable law, and (B) the provisions of the Option relating to exercisability hereof shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Participant and, following the occurrence of any such events described therein, the Options shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee, the recipient under a qualified domestic relations order, or the estate or heirs of a deceased Participant, as applicable, only to the extent and for the periods that would have been applicable in the absence of the transfer.

	9.1.5 Procedures and Restrictions. Any Participant desiring to transfer an Option as permitted under Subsections 9(a)(i) or 9(a)(ii) shall make application therefor in the manner and time specified by the Committee and shall comply with such other requirements as the Committee may require to assure compliance with all applicable securities laws. The Committee shall not give permission for such a transfer if (i) it would give rise to short-swing liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or (ii) it may not be made in compliance with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws.

	9.1.6 Registration. To the extent the issuance to any Permitted Transferee of any shares of Stock issuable pursuant to Options transferred as permitted in this Section 9(b) is not registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the effective registration statement of the Company generally covering the shares to be issued pursuant to this Plan, the Company shall not have any obligation to register the issuance of any such shares of Stock to any such transferee.

9.2 Changes to this Plan and Options. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant Options under this Plan without the consent of stockholders or Participants, except that any amendment or alteration to this Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders not later than the annual meeting next following such Board action if such stockholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock may then be listed or quoted, and the Board may otherwise, in its discretion, determine to submit other such changes to this Plan to stockholders for approval; provided that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Board action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any previously granted and outstanding Option. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any Option theretofore granted and any Option agreement relating thereto, except as otherwise provided in this Plan; provided that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Committee action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under such Option.

B-8

9.3 Limitation on Rights Conferred under Plan. Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as (i) giving any Eligible Person or Participant the right to continue as an Eligible Person or Participant or to continue as a member of the Board, (ii) interfering in any way with the right of the Company to remove any Eligible Person from the Board, (iii) giving an Eligible Person or Participant any claim to be granted any Option under this Plan or to be treated uniformly with other Participants, or (iv) conferring on a Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until the Participant is duly issued or transferred shares of Stock in accordance with the terms of an Option.

9.4 Unfunded Status of Options. This Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for certain incentive awards.

9.5 Nonexclusivity of this Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor its submission to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company from taking any corporate action which is deemed by the Company to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on this Plan or any Option made under this Plan. No employee, Beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of any such action.

9.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan or any Option. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Options or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

9.7 Severability. If any provision of this Plan is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, but such provision shall be fully severable and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein. If any of the terms or provisions of this Plan or any Option agreement conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (as those terms or provisions are applied to Eligible Persons who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act), then those conflicting terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (unless the Board or the Committee, as appropriate, has expressly determined that the Plan or such Option should not comply with Rule 16b-3).

9.8 Governing Law. All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the Plan and the Options, unless otherwise specified in an Option agreement, shall be determined by application of the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflict of law provisions thereof, except to the extent Delaware law is preempted by federal law. The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Stock hereunder is subject to applicable federal and state laws and to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale, or delivery of such Stock.

9.9 Conditions to Delivery of Stock. Nothing herein or in any Option granted hereunder or any Option agreement shall require the Company to issue any shares with respect to any Option if that issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a violation of the Securities Act or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, any other applicable state or federal statute or regulation, or any rules of any applicable securities exchange or securities association, as then in effect. At the time of any exercise of an Option the Company may, as a condition precedent to the exercise of such Option, require from the Participant (or in the event of his death, his legal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees) such written representations, if any, concerning the holder’s intentions with regard to the retention or disposition of the shares of Stock being acquired pursuant to the Option and such written covenants and agreements, if any, as to the manner of disposal of such shares as, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, may be necessary to ensure that any disposition by that holder (or in the event of the holder’s death, his legal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees) will not involve a violation of the Securities Act or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, any other applicable state or federal statute or regulation, or any rule of any applicable securities exchange or securities association, as then in effect. No Option shall be exercisable unless and until the holder thereof shall have paid cash or property to, or performed services for, the Company that the Committee believes is equal to or greater in value than the par value of the Stock subject to such Option.

9.10 Plan Effective Date; Term This Plan has been adopted by the Board of the Company effective as of December 31, 2004.

FOURTH AMENDMENT
TO THE
RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED 1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN

This Fourth Amendment to the Range Resources amended and restated 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is effective as provided herein and is made by Range Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”):

WHEREAS, the Company has established the Plan in order to attract able persons to serve as directors or to enter the employ of the Company and its affiliates, and to provide a means whereby those individuals upon whom the responsibilities of the successful administration and management of the Company rest, and whose present and potential contributions to the welfare of the Company and its affiliates are of importance, can acquire and maintain stock ownership thereby strengthening their concern for the welfare of the Company and its affiliates and, further, to provide such individuals with additional incentive and reward opportunities designed to enhance the profitable growth of the Company and its affiliates;

WHEREAS, the Plan was previously amended to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued in connection with awards granted pursuant to the Plan from 6,000,000 shares to 8,750,000 shares, subject to adjustment;

WHEREAS, the Board believes that to further the purposes of the Plan, the number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan should be increased to 9,250,000 shares;

WHEREAS, an increase in the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be used in connection with the Plan must be approved by the stockholders of the Company, pursuant to Paragraph X of the Plan and section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

WHEREAS, this Fourth Amendment is subject to stockholder approval.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is amended as provided herein, effective as of May 19, 2004, provided that the terms of this Fourth Amendment are approved by the Company’s stockholders, and, except as provided herein, the Plan shall continue to read in its current state:

10. Paragraph V(a) of the Plan is hereby amended in its entirety to provide as follows:

(a) Stock Grant and Award Limits. The Committee may from time to time grant Awards to one or more employees, Consultants or Directors determined by it to be eligible for participation in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph VI. Subject to adjustment in the same manner as provided in Paragraph IX with respect to shares of Stock subject to Awards then outstanding, the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 9,250,000 shares. Shares shall be deemed to have been issued under the Plan only (i) to the extent actually issued and delivered pursuant to an Award, or (ii) to the extent an Award is settled in cash. To the extent that an Award lapses or the rights of its Holder terminate, any shares of Stock subject to such Award shall again be available for the grant of an Award. For the sole purpose of complying with the compensation deduction limitations set forth in section 162(m) of the Code, no single individual may, in any calendar year, receive Awards which relate to in excess of 500,000 shares of Stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as provided in Paragraph IX with respect to shares of Stock subject to Awards then outstanding). The limitation set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied in a manner which will permit compensation generated under the Plan to constitute “performance-based” compensation for purposes of section 162(m) of the Code, including, without limitation, counting against such maximum number of shares, to the

C-1

extent required under section 162(m) of the Code and applicable interpretive authority thereunder, any shares subject to Awards that are canceled or repriced.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, a duly authorized officer of the Company has executed this Fourth Amendment as set forth below.

The Plan shall remain in effect until all Awards granted under the Plan have been satisfied or expired.

IV. ADMINISTRATION

(a) Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.

(b) Powers. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole authority, in its discretion, to determine which employees, Consultants or Directors shall receive an Award, the time or times when such Award shall be made, the type of Award, and the number of shares of Stock which may be issued under each Option or Stock Appreciation Right. In making such determinations the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by the respective employees, Consultants or Directors, their present and potential contribution to the success of the Company and its Affiliates and such other factors as the Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant.

(c) Additional Powers. The Committee shall have such additional powers as are delegated to it by the other provisions of the Plan. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee is authorized to construe the Plan and the respective Award Agreements executed thereunder, to prescribe such rules and regulations relating to the Plan as it may deem advisable to carry out the Plan, and to determine the terms, restrictions and provisions of each Award, including such terms, restrictions and provisions as shall be requisite in the judgment of the Committee to cause designated Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry it into effect. The determinations of the Committee on the matters referred to in this Paragraph IV shall be conclusive.

V. GRANT OF AWARDS;
SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

(a) Stock Grant and Award Limits. The Committee may from time to time grant Awards to one or more employees, Consultants or Directors determined by it to be eligible for participation in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph VI. Subject to adjustment in the same manner as provided in Paragraph IX with respect to shares of Stock subject to Awards then outstanding, the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 8,750,000 shares. Shares shall be deemed to have been issued under the Plan only (i) to the extent actually issued and delivered pursuant to an Award, or (ii) to the extent an Award is settled in cash. To the extent that an Award lapses or the rights of its Holder terminate, any shares of Stock subject to such Award shall again be available for the grant of an Award. For the sole purpose of complying with the compensation deduction limitations set forth in section 162(m) of the Code, no single individual may, in any calendar year, receive Awards which relate to in excess of 500,000 shares of Stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as provided in Paragraph IX with respect to shares of Stock subject to Awards then outstanding). The limitation set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied in a manner which will permit compensation generated under the Plan to constitute “performance-based” compensation for purposes of section 162(m) of the Code, including, without limitation, counting against such maximum number of shares, to the extent required under section 162(m) of the Code and applicable interpretive authority thereunder, any shares subject to Awards that are canceled or repriced.

(b) Stock Offered. The Stock to be offered pursuant to the grant of an Award may, at the discretion of the Committee, be authorized but unissued Stock or Stock previously issued and outstanding and reacquired by the Company.

D-3

VI. ELIGIBILITY

Awards may be granted only to persons who, at the time of grant, are employees (including officers and Directors who are also employees) Consultants or Directors. An Award may be granted on more than one occasion to the same person, and, subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan, such Award may include an Incentive Stock Option or an Option that is not an Incentive Stock Option, a Stock Appreciation Right or any combination thereof.

VII. STOCK OPTIONS

(a) Option Period. The term of each Option shall be as specified by the Committee at the date of grant.

(b) Limitations on Exercise of Option. An Option shall be exercisable in whole or in such installments and at such times as determined by the Committee.

(c) Special Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. An Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to an individual who is an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation (as defined in section 424 of the Code) at the time the Option is granted. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the respective Incentive Stock Option is granted) of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted after 1986 are exercisable for the first time by an individual during any calendar year under all incentive stock option plans of the Company and its parent and subsidiary corporations exceeds $100,000, such Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Options which do not constitute Incentive Stock Options. The Committee shall determine, in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations and other administrative pronouncements, which of a Holder’s Incentive Stock Options will not constitute Incentive Stock Options because of such limitation and shall notify the Holder of such determination as soon as practicable after such determination. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to an individual if, at the time the Option is granted, such individual owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporation, within the meaning of section 422(b)(6) of the Code, unless (i) at the time such Option is granted the option price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Option and (ii) such Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the Holder’s lifetime only by such Holder or the Holder’s guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or in any Option Agreement, (1) no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted after the expiration of 12 months from the date of the adoption of the Plan by the Board unless the Plan has been approved by the Stockholders of the Company within such 12-month period in a manner that satisfies the requirements of section 422 of the Code and (2) any Option granted prior to the expiration of such 12-month period that was intended to constitute an Incentive Stock Option shall constitute an Option that is not an Incentive Stock Option if the Plan has not been approved by the Stockholders of the Company within such 12-month period in a manner that satisfies the requirements of section 422 of the Code.

(d) Option Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement in such form and containing such provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee from time to time shall approve, including, without limitation, provisions to qualify an Incentive Stock Option under section 422 of the Code. Each Option Agreement shall specify the effect of termination of employment or membership on the Board, as applicable, on the exercisability of the Option. An Option Agreement may provide for the payment of the option price, in whole or in part, (i) in cash or (ii) by the delivery of a number of shares of Stock (plus cash if necessary) having a Fair Market Value equal to such option price. Moreover, an Option Agreement may provide for a “cashless exercise” of the Option pursuant to procedures established by the Committee (as the same may be amended from time to time). Such Option Agreement may also include, without limitation, provisions relating to (1) subject to the provisions hereof accelerating such vesting on a Change of Control, vesting of Options, (2) tax matters (including provisions (A) permitting the delivery of additional shares of Stock or the withholding of shares of Stock from those acquired upon exercise to satisfy federal, state or local income tax withholding requirements and (B) dealing with any other applicable employee wage withholding requirements), and (3) any other matters not inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Plan that the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine. The terms and conditions of the respective Option Agreements need not be identical.

(e) Option Price and Payment. The price at which a share of Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Committee, but, subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph IX, such purchase price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date such Option is granted. The Option or portion thereof may be exercised by delivery of an irrevocable notice of exercise to the Company in a manner specified by the Committee. The

D-4

purchase price of the Option or portion thereof shall be paid in full in the manner prescribed by the Committee. Separate stock certificates shall be issued by the Company for those shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and for those shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of any Option that does not constitute an Incentive Stock Option.

(f) Stockholder Rights and Privileges. The Holder shall be entitled to all the privileges and rights of a Stockholder only with respect to such shares of Stock as have been purchased under the Option and for which certificates of stock have been registered in the Holder’s name.

(g) Options and Rights in Substitution for Stock Options Granted by Other Corporations. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for stock options held by individuals employed by corporations who become employees as a result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or any Affiliate, or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of the assets of the employing corporation, or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of stock of the employing corporation with the result that such employing corporation becomes an Affiliate.

VIII. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

(a) Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right is the right to receive an amount equal to the Spread with respect to a share of Stock upon the exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in connection with the grant of an Option, in which case the Option Agreement will provide that exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights will result in the surrender of the right to purchase the shares of Stock under the Option as to which the Stock Appreciation Rights were exercised. Alternatively, Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted independently of Options in which case each Award of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by a Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement which shall contain such terms and conditions as may be approved by the Committee. The terms and conditions of the respective Stock Appreciation Rights Agreements need not be identical. The Spread with respect to a Stock Appreciation Right may be payable either in cash, shares of Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the Spread or in a combination of cash and shares of Stock. Each Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement shall specify the effect of termination of employment or membership on the Board, as applicable, on the exercisability of the Stock Appreciation Rights.

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee, but such exercise price (i) shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted (or such greater exercise price as may be required if such Stock Appreciation Right is granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option that must have an exercise price equal to 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant pursuant to Paragraph VII(c)), and (ii) shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph IX.

(c) Exercise Period. The term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be as specified by the Committee at the date of grant.

(d) Limitations on Exercise of Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable in whole or in such installments and at such times as determined by the Committee. In the case of any Stock Appreciation Right that is granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option, such right shall be exercisable only when the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock exceeds the price specified therefor in the Option or the portion thereof to be surrendered.

IX. RECAPITALIZATION OR REORGANIZATION

(a) The shares with respect to which Awards may be granted are shares of Stock as presently constituted, but if, and whenever, prior to the expiration of an Award theretofore granted, the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Stock or the payment of a stock dividend on Stock without receipt of consideration by the Company, the number of shares of Stock with respect to which such Award may thereafter be exercised or satisfied, as applicable, (i) in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding shares shall be proportionately increased, and the purchase price per share shall be proportionately reduced, and (ii) in the event of a reduction in the number of outstanding shares shall be proportionately reduced, and the purchase price per share shall be proportionately increased. Any fractional share resulting from such adjustment shall be rounded up to the next whole share.

D-5

(b) If the Company recapitalizes, reclassifies its capital stock, or otherwise changes its capital structure (a “recapitalization”), the number and class of shares of Stock covered by an Award theretofore granted shall be adjusted so that such Award shall thereafter cover the number and class of shares of Stock and other securities to which the Holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, immediately prior to such recapitalization, the Holder had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Stock then covered by such Award.

(c) In the event of a Change of Control, and except as provided in any Award Agreement, outstanding Awards shall immediately vest and become exercisable or satisfiable, as applicable, and any Awards that are Options shall continue to be exercisable for the remainder of the applicable Option term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may determine that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Award outstanding hereunder shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the Holder, and such Holder shall receive, with respect to each share of Stock subject to such Award, cash in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Change of Control Value over the exercise price, if applicable, under such Award for such share. The provisions contained in this paragraph shall not terminate any rights of the Holder to further payments pursuant to any other agreement with the Company following a Change of Control.

(d) In the event of changes in the outstanding Stock by reason of recapitalization, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, split-ups, split-offs, spin-offs, exchanges, a Change of Control or other relevant changes in capitalization or distributions to the holders of Stock occurring after the date of the grant of any Award and not otherwise provided for by this Paragraph IX, any outstanding Awards and any Award Agreements shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee at its discretion as to the number and price of shares of Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards. In the event of any such change in the outstanding Stock or distribution to the holders of Stock, the aggregate number of shares available under the Plan (and the aggregate number of shares that may be granted to any one individual) may be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive.

(e) The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the Stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s or any Affiliate’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate, any issue of debt or equity securities ahead of or affecting Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.

(f) Any adjustment provided for in the above Subparagraphs shall be subject to any required Stockholder action.

(g) Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefore, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per share, if applicable.

X. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant Awards under this Plan without the consent of Stockholders or Holders, except that any amendment or alteration to this Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s Stockholders not later than the annual meeting next following such Board action if such Stockholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock may then be listed or quoted, and the Board may otherwise, in its discretion, determine to submit other such changes to this Plan to Stockholders for approval; provided that, without the consent of an affected Holder, no such Board action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Holder under any previously granted and outstanding Award. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any Award theretofore granted and any Award agreement relating thereto, except as otherwise provided in this Plan; provided that, without the consent of an affected Holder, no such Committee action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Holder under such Award; and, provided further, that no Award may be repriced, replaced, regranted through cancellation, or modified without Stockholder approval (except in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization), if the effect would be to reduce the exercise price for the shares underlying such Award.

D-6

XII. MISCELLANEOUS

(a) No Right to an Award. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Company nor any action of the Board or the Committee shall be deemed to give an employee or Director any right to be granted an Award or any other rights hereunder except as may be evidenced by an Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement duly executed on behalf of the Company, and then only to the extent and on the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein. The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of funds or assets to assure the payment of any Award.

(b) No Employment Rights Conferred. Nothing contained in the Plan shall (i) confer upon any employee any right with respect to continuation of employment with the Company or any Affiliate or (ii) interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate his or her employment at any time. Nothing contained in the Plan shall confer on any Director any right with respect to continuation of membership on the Board.

(c) Other Laws; Withholding. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Stock pursuant to any Award granted under the Plan at any time when the shares covered by such Award have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and such other state and federal laws, rules or regulations as the Company or the Committee deems applicable and, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company, there is no exemption from the registration requirements of such laws, rules or regulations available for the issuance and sale of such shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be delivered. The Company shall have the right to deduct in connection with all Awards any taxes required by law to be withheld and to require any payments required to enable it to satisfy its withholding obligations.

(d) No Restriction on Corporate Action. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any Affiliate from taking any corporate action which is deemed by the Company or such Affiliate to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any Award made under the Plan. No employee, Director, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any Affiliate as a result of any such action.

(e) Restrictions on Transfer. An Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option, which shall be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in Paragraph VII(c)) shall not be transferable otherwise than (i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) pursuant to a “qualified domestic relations order” as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder, or (iii) with the written consent of the Committee, which may be granted in the discretion of the Committee in accordance with any applicable transfer restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933.

(f) Rule 16b-3. It is intended that the Plan and any grant of an Award made to a person subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act meet the requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that any transaction under the Plan involving a grant, award, or other acquisition from the Company or disposition to the Company is exempt from Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act. If any provision of the Plan or any such Award would result in any such transaction not being exempt from Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, such provision or Award shall be construed or deemed amended so that such transaction will be exempt from Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act.

(g) Facsimile Signature. Any Award Agreement or related document may be executed by facsimile signature. If any officer who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature shall have been placed upon any such Award Agreement or related document shall have ceased to be such officer before the related Award is granted by the Company, such Award may nevertheless be issued by the Company with the same effect as if such person were such officer at the date of grant.

(h) Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
