Let R be a commutative ring. An R-module M is called a w-Noetherian module if every submodule of M is of w-finite type. R is called a w-Noetherian ring if R as an R-module is a w-Noetherian module. In this paper, we present an exact version of the Eakin-Nagata Theorem on w-Noetherian rings. To do this, we prove the Formanek Theorem for w-Noetherian rings. Further, we point out by an example that the condition (${\dag}$) in the Chung-Ha-Kim version of the Eakin-Nagata Theorem on SM domains is essential.
