On September 1, 2000, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 9, 1999, (the "Merger Agreement") among Energy East Corporation ("Energy East"), Berkshire Energy Resources (Berkshire Energy) and Mountain Merger LLC, a wholly-owned Energy East subsidiary, (Mountain Merger), Mountain Merger was merged with and into Berkshire Energy, a Massachusetts Business Trust. Berkshire Energy, the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned Energy East subsidiary.

Under the Merger Agreement, 100% of the common shares of Berkshire Energy became convertible into the right to receive $38.00 in cash per Berkshire Energy share. Energy East intends to fund the merger with a drawing from Energy East's revolving credit agreement with Chase Manhattan Bank acting as administrative agent.
