Business Description

Eastern American Natural Gas Trust was formed under the Delaware Business Trust Act according to a Trust Agreement among Eastern American, as grantor, Bank of Montreal Trust Company, as trustee, and Wilmington Trust Company, as Delaware Trustee. Effective October 2, 2006, The Bank of New York Trust Company, N. A. replaced JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as trustee in connection with the sale by JPMorgan Chase Bank of substantially all of its corporate trust business to The Bank of New York. The Trust was formed to acquire and hold net profits interests created from the working interests owned by Eastern American in 650 producing gas wells and 65 proved development well locations located in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The Underlying Properties are comprised of Eastern American's working interests in certain properties located in the Appalachian Basin states of West Virginia and Pennsylvania. As of December 31, 2011, such properties consisted of 587 producing gas wells. The working interests of ECA comprising the Underlying Properties are held under leases and farmout agreements with third parties. Such working interests are subject to landowner's royalties and might be subject to additional royalties or other obligations burdening the working interests. The Appalachian Basin is a mature producing region with well known geologic characteristics. Substantially all of the wells comprising the Underlying Properties are relatively shallow, ranging from 2,500 to 5,500 feet, and many are completed to multiple producing zones. In general, the wells to which the Underlying Properties relate are proved producing properties with stable production profiles and generally long-lived production, often with total projected economic lives in excess of 25 years. Once drilled and completed, ongoing operating and maintenance requirements are low and only minimal, if any, capital expenditures are typically required. The Underlying Properties initially included 65 specified development well locations for the drilling of the Development Wells by ECA. ECA was obligated to bear the costs of drilling and completing the Development Wells. ECA has fulfilled its obligation with respect to the drilling of the Development Wells. Production from the wells to which the Underlying Properties relate is typically subject to: landowner royalties and other burdens and obligations retained under oil and gas leases; overriding royalty interests; and interests of other working interest owners in the wells. Activities on the Underlying Properties are subject to existing Federal, state and local laws and regulations governing health, safety, environmental quality and pollution control.
