Summary of EASTERN AMERICAN NATURAL GAS TRUST

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the "Trustee") of Eastern American Natural Gas Trust (the "Trust"), is required by the terms of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement governing the Trust (the "Trust Agreement") to cause the sale of the Royalty NPI held by the Trust (the "Royalty NPI"). Also as previously disclosed, on November 5, 2012, Energy Corporation of America ("ECA"), which is the sponsor of the Trust, exercised its right of first refusal under the Trust Agreement to purchase the Royalty NPI on the terms set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated October 24, 2012 between the Trust and a third party (the "October 24, 2012 Agreement"). As a consequence of ECA's exercise of its right of first refusal, the October 24, 2012 Agreement terminated in accordance with its terms, and the Trust will sell the Royalty NPI to ECA for the purchase price determined by the October 24, 2012 Agreement.

On January 3, 2013, the Trust entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated January 3, 2013 (the "Agreement"), with ECA in order to document the terms of the sale of the Royalty NPI and to eliminate provisions of the October 24, 2012 Agreement that are inapplicable to the sale of the Royalty NPI to ECA. As previously disclosed, the sale is expected to close on or about January 10, 2013, and the price, after making the adjustment for gas price changes required by the October 24, 2012 Agreement, will be approximately $5.9 million. In the Agreement, ECA has waived any decrease to the purchase price that might have been made under the October 24, 2012 Agreement for defects in title to the Royalty NPI.

The description of the Agreement under this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

The Trustee and ECA are parties to the various agreements entered into in connection with the formation of the Trust or otherwise related to the Trust. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. and ECA are also parties to the various agreements entered into in connection with the formation of ECA Marcellus Trust I or otherwise related to ECA Marcellus Trust I.
