EXELON GENERATION COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
1. Basis of Presentation (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation)
      Exelon Corporation (Exelon) is a utility services holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the energy delivery and wholesale generation businesses discussed below (see Note 15 — Segment Information). The energy delivery businesses (Energy Delivery) include the purchase and regulated retail sale of electricity and distribution and transmission services by Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) in northern Illinois and PECO Energy Company (PECO) in southeastern Pennsylvania and the purchase and retail sale of natural gas and related distribution services by PECO in the Pennsylvania counties surrounding the City of Philadelphia. The generation business consists principally of the electric generating facilities and wholesale energy marketing operations of Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation), the competitive retail sales business of Exelon Energy Company and certain other generation projects. Exelon sold or wound down substantially all components of Exelon Enterprises Company, LLC (Enterprises) in 2004 and 2003. As a result, as of January 1, 2005, Enterprises is no longer reported as a segment.
      The consolidated financial statements of Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation each include the accounts of entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, other than certain financing trusts of ComEd and PECO, and its proportionate interests in jointly owned utility plants, after the elimination of intercompany transactions. A controlling financial interest is evidenced by either a voting interest greater than 50% or a risk and rewards model that identifies the registrant as the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. Investments and joint ventures in which Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation do not have a controlling financial interest and certain financing trusts of ComEd and PECO are accounted for under the equity or cost methods of accounting.
      In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. (FIN) 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46-R), Exelon and Generation consolidated Sithe Energies, Inc. (Sithe), formerly a 50% owned subsidiary of Generation, as of March 31, 2004 and recorded income of $32 million (net of income taxes) as a result of the elimination of a guarantee of Sithe’s commitments previously recorded by Generation. This income was reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2004. Generation sold its interest in Sithe on January 31, 2005. See Note 4 — Acquisitions and Dispositions for additional information.
      The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2005 and 2004 and for the three and six months then ended are unaudited but, in the opinion of the management of each of Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation, include all adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of its respective financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed. The December 31, 2004 Consolidated Balance Sheets were taken from audited financial statements. These combined notes to consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes. These reclassifications had no effect on net income. These notes should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation included in ITEM 8 of their 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Exelon’s and Generation’s Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast the December 31, 2004 and previous financial statements for the presentation of certain businesses as discontinued operations within the Consolidated Statements of Income contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and a change in the reportable segments in Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. Discontinued Operations (Exelon and Generation)
      As discussed in Note 4 — Acquisitions and Dispositions, on January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a series of transactions that resulted in Generation’s sale of its investment in Sithe. In addition, during 2003 and 2004 Exelon sold or wound down substantially all components of Enterprises, and Generation sold or wound down substantially all components of AllEnergy Gas & Electric Marketing LLC (AllEnergy), a business within Exelon Energy. As a result, the results of operations and any gain or loss on the sale of these entities are presented as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 within Exelon’s (for Sithe, AllEnergy and Enterprises) and Generation’s (for Sithe and AllEnergy) Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. In addition, the results of operations of these entities have been presented as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 for comparative purposes. Results related to these entities were as follows:

(a) In accordance with FIN 46-R, Exelon and Generation consolidated Sithe, formerly a 50% owned subsidiary of Generation, as of March 31, 2004. As Sithe was a nonconsolidated subsidiary during the three months ended March 31, 2004, Sithe’s results of operations were not included in discontinued operations for that period. See Note 1 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the adoption of FIN 46-R and resulting consolidation of Sithe.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation)
EITF 03-1
      In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on and the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (EITF 03-1). EITF 03-1 provides guidance on recognizing other-than-temporary impairments of investment securities. Exelon has adopted the disclosure requirements of EITF 03-1 for investments accounted for under FASB Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (SFAS No. 115). On September 30, 2004, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-1-1, “Effective Date of Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1, ‘The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments,’ ” which delayed the effective date of the application guidance on impairment of securities included within EITF 03-1. The FASB, at its June 29, 2005 Board meeting, withdrew its guidance on when an impairment is other than temporary. However, EITF 03-1’s provisions regarding the measurement, disclosure and post-impairment accounting guidance of debt securities, as well as the identification of impaired cost method investments remain intact. The FASB expects to issue a final FASB Staff Position in the third quarter of 2005. Additionally, the existing guidance under SFAS No. 115 remains in effect.
SFAS No. 151
      In November 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 151, “Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (SFAS No. 151), which is the result of its efforts to converge U.S. accounting standards for inventories with International Accounting Standards. SFAS No. 151 requires abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material or spoilage to be recognized as current-period charges. It also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation are assessing the impact SFAS No. 151 will have on their consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 123-R
      In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123-R). SFAS No. 123-R replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123) and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued

to Employees” (APB No. 25). SFAS No. 123-R requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Exelon will no longer be permitted to follow the intrinsic value accounting method of APB No. 25, which resulted in no expense being recorded for stock option grants for which the strike price was equal to the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Exelon has not elected to early adopt SFAS No. 123-R. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a rule that delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 123-R for public companies. As a result, SFAS No. 123-R will be effective for Exelon in the first quarter of 2006 and will apply to all of Exelon’s outstanding unvested share-based payment awards as of January 1, 2006 and all prospective awards.
      In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107 which expressed the views of the SEC regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123-R and certain SEC rules and regulations. SAB No. 107 provides guidance related to the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies, including assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term. Exelon is assessing the impact SFAS No. 123-R and SAB No. 107 will have on its consolidated financial statements and which of three transition methods allowed by SFAS No. 123-R will be elected.
      Exelon currently accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under the intrinsic method prescribed by APB No. 25 and related interpretations and follows the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options recognized within the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income was insignificant for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The tables below show the effect on net income and earnings per share for Exelon had Exelon elected to account for its stock-based compensation plans using the fair-value method under SFAS No. 123 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:

     The net income of ComEd, PECO and Generation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 would not have been significantly affected had Exelon elected to account for its stock-based compensation plans using the fair-value method under SFAS No. 123.
      Exelon recognizes the compensation cost of stock-based awards issued to retirement eligible employees that fully vest upon an employee’s retirement over the nominal vesting period of performance and recognizes any remaining compensation cost at the date of retirement. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R, Exelon will be required to recognize the entire compensation cost at the grant date of new stock-based awards in which retirement eligible employees are fully vested upon issuance (the non-substantive vesting approach). Had Exelon accounted for its stock-based awards in which retirement eligible employees are fully vested upon issuance using the non-substantive vesting approach, stock-based compensation expense would have been $1 million lower for each of the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and $3 million higher for each of the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 than reflected in the table above.
SFAS No. 153
      In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, ‘Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions’ ” (SFAS No. 153). Previously, APB Opinion No. 29 had required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 will be effective for Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation in the third quarter of 2005 and earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring after the issuance of SFAS No. 153. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are applied prospectively.
FIN 47
      In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (FIN 47) which clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (SFAS No. 143), refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 will be effective for Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation in the fourth quarter of 2005. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation are assessing the impact of FIN 47, which could be material to the financial condition and results of operations of Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation (collectively, the Registrants).
SFAS No. 154
      In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (SFAS No. 154). Previously, APB No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements” required the inclusion of the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle in net income of the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires companies to recognize a change in accounting principle,

including a change required by a new accounting pronouncement when the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions, retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation will assess the impact of a retrospective application of a change in accounting principle in accordance with SFAS No. 154 when such a change arises after the effective date of January 1, 2006.
4. Acquisitions and Dispositions (Exelon and Generation)
Proposed Merger with PSEG (Exelon)
      On December 20, 2004, Exelon entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) with Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG), a holding company engaged through its subsidiaries in electric and gas utility businesses primarily located and serving customers in New Jersey, whereby PSEG will be merged with and into Exelon (Merger).
      During the first quarter of 2005, Exelon filed petitions or applications for approval of the Merger with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the Federal Power Act, the United States Department of Justice under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PAPUC), the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU), the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the New York Public Service Commission, the Connecticut Siting Council, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and with the SEC under the Public Utility Holding Company Act. Other state and Federal agencies will have a role in reviewing various aspects of the transaction. Exelon expects to make these remaining filings in 2005.
      On June 30, 2005, the FERC approved the Merger without a hearing. Exelon and PSEG proposed in their application with the FERC, and FERC approved, a market concentration mitigation plan involving the divestiture of 4,000 MW of coal, mid-merit (or intermediate) and peaking generation in the PJM region and the ongoing auction of 2,600 MW of nuclear output. Exelon and PSEG also proposed to invest a total of $25 million in transmission improvements, which proposal was accepted by FERC. The ultimate outcome of the market concentration mitigation is dependent upon various factors, including the market conditions and buyer interest at the time the units and the nuclear output are offered for sale. The results of these activities, therefore, are not assured, and could have a material impact on the results of operations and cash flows of Exelon and Generation if the sales price for these units is different from management’s expectations.
      Various governmental, consumer and other parties have intervened, or are expected to intervene, in the proceedings before the NJBPU, the PAPUC and other regulatory bodies. To facilitate approval of the Merger, Exelon may negotiate with these parties and may enter into settlement agreements. Orders resulting from the proceedings before the NJBPU, the PAPUC and other regulatory bodies and settlements in connection with the proceedings could for example, affect the extent to which Exelon and its subsidiaries may benefit from expected synergies following the Merger and could be materially different from what the Registrants expect in this and other respects and could have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Registrants if the Merger is completed. Additionally, as a result of these proceedings, Exelon, ComEd and PECO continue to evaluate their regulated businesses’ abilities to apply FASB Statement No. 71, “Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation” (SFAS No. 71). If a separable portion of Energy Delivery’s business were no longer able to meet the provisions of SFAS No. 71, Exelon, ComEd and PECO, as applicable, would be required to eliminate from its financial statements the effects of regulation for that portion, which could also have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Exelon, ComEd and PECO.

      Approval of the Connecticut Siting Council was received on March 16, 2005. ComEd filed a notice of the Merger with the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) and the ICC’s general counsel confirmed that its formal approval of the Merger is not required.
      PSEG shareholders approved the Merger on July 19, 2005. Exelon shareholders approved the issuance of Exelon shares pursuant to the Merger on July 22, 2005.
      Exelon has capitalized external costs associated with the Merger since the execution of the Merger Agreement on December 20, 2004. Total capitalized costs of $19 million at June 30, 2005 are included in deferred debits and other assets on Exelon’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 2 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
Sithe (Exelon and Generation)
      On January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a series of transactions that resulted in Generation’s sale of its investment in Sithe. Specifically, subsidiaries of Generation closed on the acquisition of Reservoir Capital Group’s 50% interest in Sithe and the sale of 100% of Sithe to Dynegy, Inc. (Dynegy). Prior to closing on the sale to Dynegy, subsidiaries of Generation received approximately $65 million in cash distributions from Sithe. As a result of the sale, Exelon and Generation deconsolidated approximately $820 million of debt from their balance sheets and were released from approximately $125 million of credit support. Dynegy acquired $32 million of cash as part of the sale of Sithe. Additionally, Exelon and Generation recorded $55 million of liabilities related to certain indemnifications provided to Dynegy and other liabilities directly resulting from the transaction. These liabilities were taken into account in the final determination of the net gain on the sale of $19 million (before income taxes). See Note 3 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further historical information regarding Generation’s investment in Sithe.
      Generation issued certain guarantees associated with income tax indemnifications to Dynegy in connection with the sale which were valued at approximately $8 million. These guarantees are being accounted for under the provisions of FIN 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others” (FIN 45). The exposures covered by these indemnities are anticipated to expire in the second half of 2005 and beyond. Generation also recorded additional liabilities associated with the sale transaction totaling $47 million. The estimated maximum possible exposure to Generation related to the guarantees provided as part of the sales transaction to Dynegy is approximately $175 million.
      Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 included the following financial results related to Sithe:
                 
    Three Months   Three Months

Sale of Ownership Interest in Boston Generating, LLC (Exelon and Generation)
      On May 25, 2004, Exelon and Generation completed the sale, transfer and assignment of ownership of their indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Boston Generating, LLC (Boston Generating), which owns the companies that own the Mystic 4-7, Mystic 8 and 9 and Fore River generating facilities, to a special purpose entity owned by the lenders under Boston Generating’s $1.25 billion credit facility. See Note 2 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

Exelon, ComEd and PECO
      Through and Out Rates/ SECA. In November 2004, the FERC issued two orders authorizing ComEd and PECO to recover amounts as a result of the elimination of through and out (T&O) rates for transmission service scheduled out of or across their respective transmission systems and ending within pre-expansion PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM) or Midwest Independent System Operators (MISO) territories. T&O rates

were terminated pursuant to FERC orders effective December 1, 2004. The new rates, known as Seams Elimination Charge/ Cost Adjustment/ Assignment (SECA), are collected from load-serving entities within PJM and MISO over a transitional period from December 1, 2004 through March 31, 2006, subject to refund, surcharge and hearing. As load-serving entities, ComEd and PECO are also required to pay SECA rates based on the benefits they receive from the elimination of T&O rates of other transmission owners within PJM and MISO. On June 16, 2005, FERC issued an order setting a hearing to address SECA cost recovery issues, and consolidated that proceeding with a proceeding to address the long-term transmission rate design.
      During 2004 prior to the termination of T&O rates, ComEd and PECO had net T&O collections of approximately $50 million and $3 million, respectively. As a result of the November 2004 FERC orders and potential appeals, ComEd may see reduced net collections, and PECO may become a net payer of SECA charges. Since the inception of the SECA rates in December 2004, ComEd has recorded approximately $22 million of SECA collections net of SECA charges, including $4 million and $17 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, while PECO has recorded $3 million of SECA charges net of SECA collections, including $1 million and $3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. Management of each of ComEd and PECO believes that appropriate reserves have been established in the event that such SECA collections are required to be refunded. However, as the above amounts collected under the SECA rates are subject to refund and surcharge and the ultimate outcome of the proceeding establishing SECA rates is uncertain, the result of this proceeding may have a material adverse effect on ComEd’s and PECO’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
      Illinois Regulatory Filing. In 2004, the ICC initiated and conducted a workshop process to consider issues related to retail electric service in the post-transition period (i.e., post-2006). Issues addressed included utility wholesale generation supply procurement methodology, rates, competition and utility service obligations. All interested parties were invited to participate. The end result was a report from the ICC to the Illinois General Assembly that was generally supportive of utilities competitively procuring generation supply through a reverse-auction process with full recovery of the supply costs from retail customers. In the proposed reverse-auction model, qualified energy suppliers would compete in a transparent, fair and structured auction to provide energy to the utilities and their customers; winning bidders would provide the power needed at the price determined by the auction’s results; and the utilities would make no profit on the energy but would fully recover from customers the price of procurement. The ICC staff and an auction monitor would oversee the entire process to assure a fair bidding process.
      On February 25, 2005, ComEd filed with the ICC seeking regulatory approval of tariffs that implement the methodologies supported by the report, including a proposal consistent with the reverse-auction process described above. As requested by ComEd, the ICC initiated hearings on the matter. The Illinois Attorney General, Citizens’ Utility Board, Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Environmental Law and Public Policy Center subsequently filed a motion to dismiss the proceeding arguing that customers are entitled to cost-based rates for power and delivery and that the ICC lacked authority to approve rates based on the market value of power, as proposed by ComEd. On June 1, 2005 the Administrative Law Judge denied the motion and on July 13 the ICC denied the moving parties’ appeal. The ICC’s final order is expected by January 2006. In addition to the February 2005 filing, ComEd intends to make one or more additional filings during 2005 to begin the process to establish post-2006 retail rates, including rates for bundled service and delivery service rates. The Illinois General Assembly has held hearings concerning generation procurement post-2006 and it may choose to take further action on this issue. In April 2005 a proposed amendment to the Illinois Public Utilities Act was introduced in Committee hearings in the Illinois legislature, which, if enacted into law, would have extended the current “rate freeze” and transition period for an additional two years. However, the proposed amendment was defeated in Committee. ComEd cannot predict the results of these

regulatory processes before the ICC or whether the Illinois General Assembly might take action that could have a material impact on the outcome of the regulatory process. Neither can ComEd predict the long-term impact of customer choice for energy supply on its results of operations.

6. Intangible Assets (Exelon, ComEd and Generation)
Goodwill (Exelon and ComEd)
      As of June 30, 2005, Exelon and ComEd had recorded goodwill of approximately $4.7 billion. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS No. 142), goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Exelon and ComEd will perform their annual goodwill impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2005. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period from January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2005 were as follows:
         
Balance as of January 1, 2005(a)
  $ 4,705  
Resolution of certain tax matters(b)
    (9 )
       
Balance as of June 30, 2005(a)
  $ 4,696  
       
 
(a) Exelon’s goodwill balance at January 1 and June 30, 2005 is held at ComEd, which is included in the Energy Delivery segment. See Note 15 — Segment Information for further information regarding Exelon’s segments.
 
(b) Adjustment related to income tax refund claims and interest thereon. See Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies for further information.

These intangible assets were eliminated from the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Exelon and Generation upon the sale of Sithe on January 31, 2005. See Note 4 — Acquisitions and Dispositions for further information regarding the sale of Sithe.
 
(b) See Note 2 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of Exelon’s right to acquire tax credits through investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities. In addition, see Note 10 — Income Taxes.
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, Exelon’s amortization expense related to intangible assets was $15 million and $35 million, respectively, of which $4 million, for Exelon has been reflected as a reduction in revenues related to the energy purchase agreement and the tolling agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2005. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, Exelon’s amortization expense related to intangible assets was $28 million and $41 million, respectively, of which $17 million and $18 million, respectively, has been reflected as a reduction in revenues related to the energy purchase agreement and the tolling agreement. Exelon’s amortization expense associated with intangible assets related to synthetic fuel-producing investments is expected to be in the range of $50 million to $75 million annually from 2005 through 2007 and is expected to be insignificant in 2008 and 2009.
      For the six months ended June 30, 2005, Generation’s amortization expense related to Sithe’s intangible assets was $4 million, which has been reflected as a reduction in revenues related to the energy purchase agreement and the tolling agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, Generation’s

amortization, which was primarily related to Sithe’s intangible assets, was $17 million and $18 million respectively, which has been reflected as a reduction in revenues related to the energy purchase agreement and the tolling agreement.
7. Debt (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation)
Commercial Paper
      Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation meet their short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation had the following amounts of commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004:
                 
Borrower   June 30, 2005   December 31, 2004
         
Exelon
  $ 329     $ 490  
ComEd
           
PECO
           
Generation
           
Short-Term Debt
      On March 7, 2005, Exelon entered into a $2 billion term loan agreement. The loan proceeds were used to fund discretionary contributions of $2 billion to Exelon’s pension plans, including contributions of $803 million, $109 million and $842 million by ComEd, PECO and Generation, respectively. To facilitate the contributions by ComEd, PECO and Generation, Exelon contributed the corresponding amounts to the capital of each company. On April 1, 2005, Exelon entered into a $500 million term loan agreement to reduce this $2 billion term loan. During the second quarter of 2005, $200 million of this $500 million term loan, as well as the remaining $1.5 billion balance on the $2 billion term loan described above, were repaid with the net proceeds received from the issuance of the $1.7 billion long-term senior notes presented in the table below. The $300 million outstanding balance under the $500 million term loan agreement bears interest at a variable rate determined, at Exelon’s option, by either the Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the term loan agreement) and is due in full on December 1, 2005. The applicable interest rate as of June 30, 2005 for the term loan was 3.14%.
Issuance of Long-Term Debt

      During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, ComEd made scheduled payments of $93 million and $190 million, respectively, related to its obligation to the ComEd Transitional Funding Trust, and PECO made scheduled payments of $99 million and $207 million, respectively, related to its obligation to the PECO Energy Transition Trust (PETT).
      Prepayment premiums of $3 million, unamortized premiums of $4 million and debt issuances costs of $3 million associated with the early retirement of debt in 2005 have been deferred in Exelon’s and ComEd’s regulatory assets and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the related new debt issuance consistent with regulatory recovery.
8. Severance Benefits (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation)
      Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation provide severance and health and welfare benefits to terminated employees pursuant to pre-existing severance plans primarily based upon each individual employee’s years of service with Exelon and compensation level. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation account for their ongoing severance plans in accordance with SFAS No. 112, “Employer’s Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 43,” and SFAS No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits,” and accrue amounts associated with severance benefits that are considered probable and that can be reasonably estimated.

Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding defined benefit pension plans and postretirement welfare benefit plans sponsored by Exelon.
      Exelon made discretionary contributions of $2 billion to its pension plans during the first quarter of 2005. These contributions were initially funded through borrowings under a short-term loan agreement, which were subsequently refinanced with long-term senior notes, as further described in Note 7 — Debt. Of the total contribution, ComEd, PECO and Generation contributed approximately $803 million, $109 million and $844 million, respectively. The ComEd and PECO contributions were fully funded by capital contributions from Exelon. The Generation contribution was primarily funded by capital contributions from Exelon and included $2 million from internally generated funds. Exelon did not contribute to its pension plans in the second quarter of 2005 and does not anticipate making any additional contributions during the remainder of 2005. The funding status of the pension obligation is based on assumed discount rates and assumed long-term rates of return on plan assets. A decrease in these assumed rates could impact the funding status of the pension obligation.
      The following tables present the components of Exelon’s net periodic benefit costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used to estimate 2005 pension benefit costs was 9.00%. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used to estimate the 2005 other postretirement benefit cost was 8.30%. A portion of the net periodic benefit cost is capitalized within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

      Investments in Synthetic Fuel-Producing Facilities. Exelon’s interests in synthetic fuel-producing facilities increased Exelon’s net income by $29 million and $15 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $45 million and $29 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Tax credits generated by the production of synthetic fuel are subject to a phase-out provision that gradually reduces tax credits as the annual average wellhead price per barrel of domestic crude oil increases into an inflation-adjusted phase-out range. For 2004, the tax credits would have begun to phase out when the annual average wellhead price per barrel of domestic crude oil exceeded $51 per barrel and would have been completely phased out when the annual average wellhead price per barrel of domestic crude oil reached $64 per barrel. The 2005 phase-out range will be calculated using inflation rates published in 2006 by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Exelon estimates that for 2005 the tax credits will begin to phase out

if the annual average wellhead price per barrel of domestic crude oil exceeds $52 per barrel and will completely phase out if the annual average wellhead price per barrel of domestic crude oil reaches $66 per barrel. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the average closing price of a barrel of domestic crude oil was approximately $46. Based on both the average closing price to date and current futures prices for the remaining months of 2005, Exelon estimates that there will not be a phase-out of tax credits in 2005.
      Absent any efforts to mitigate market price exposure, if domestic crude oil prices increase further in 2005 and continue to stay at a high level in 2006 and 2007, the tax credits and net income generated by the investments may be reduced substantially and could result in an estimated after-tax non-operating loss of $70 million per year in the event the tax credits are completely phased out. In 2005, Exelon and Generation entered into certain derivatives to hedge a portion of this commodity exposure in the normal course of their trading operations. These derivatives could result in cash proceeds to Exelon of $23 million, $70 million and $70 million in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively, in the event the tax credits are completely phased-out.
      Exelon has recorded an intangible asset related to its investments in these facilities with a net carrying value of $177 million at June 30, 2005 that could become impaired if domestic crude oil prices continue to increase in the future. However, the subsidiaries of Exelon that hold interests in the synthetic fuel-producing facilities are subject to debt obligations related to the purchase of the facilities that have a principal balance of $189 million as of June 30, 2005. The performance of those subsidiaries with respect to these debt obligations is not guaranteed by Exelon.
      1999 Sale of Fossil Generating Assets. Exelon, through its ComEd subsidiary, has taken certain tax positions, which have been disclosed to the IRS, to defer the tax gain on the 1999 sale of its fossil generating assets. As of June 30, 2005, deferred tax liabilities related to the fossil plant sale are reflected in Exelon’s Consolidated Balance Sheets with the majority allocated to ComEd and the remainder to Generation. Exelon’s and ComEd’s ability to continue to defer all or a portion of this liability depends on whether their treatment of the sales proceeds as having been received in connection with an involuntary conversion is proper pursuant to applicable law. Exelon’s and ComEd’s ability to continue to defer the remainder of this liability may depend in part on whether their tax characterization of a lease transaction ComEd entered into in connection with the sale is proper pursuant to applicable law. For instance, the IRS may argue that the lease transaction is of a type it has recently announced its intention to challenge, and Exelon and ComEd understand that somewhat similar transactions entered into by other companies have been the subject of review and challenge by the IRS. A successful IRS challenge to ComEd’s positions would have the impact of accelerating future income tax payments and increasing interest expense related to the deferred tax gain that becomes currently payable. As of June 30, 2005, Exelon’s potential cash outflow, including tax and interest (after-tax), could be as much as $930 million. Exelon’s, ComEd’s and Generation’s management believe a reserve for interest has been appropriately recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (SFAS No. 5); however, the ultimate outcome of such matters could result in unfavorable or favorable adjustments to the results of operations, and such adjustments could be material. Federal tax returns covering the period of the 1999 sale are currently under IRS audit. Final resolution of this matter is not anticipated for several years.
11. Nuclear Decommissioning and Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund Investments (Exelon and Generation)
Nuclear Decommissioning
      Both Generation and AmerGen Energy Company, LLC (AmerGen), a wholly owned subsidiary of Generation, have legal obligations to decommission their nuclear power plants following the expiration of their

respective operating licenses. In accordance with SFAS No. 143, this obligation is reflected as an asset retirement obligation (ARO), which is classified as a noncurrent liability. Refer to Notes 14 and 16 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full discussion of the accounting for nuclear decommissioning and nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments. In addition, see Note 16 — Related-Party Transactions for information regarding intercompany balances between Generation, and ComEd and PECO reflecting the obligation to refund to customers any decommissioning-related assets in excess of the related decommissioning obligations. The balances reflect the applicable accounting methodology; although it is expected that all decommissioning-related assets will ultimately be used to satisfy decommissioning obligations.
      Generation updates its ARO on a periodic basis. During the second quarter of 2005, Generation recorded a $281 million net decrease to the ARO resulting from revisions to estimated future nuclear decommissioning cash flows. This update also resulted in a corresponding decrease to the asset retirement cost (ARC) of approximately $251 million, included in property, plant and equipment. The balance of the decrease to the ARO related primarily to the retired units, which have no remaining useful life and, likewise, no existing ARC to offset. The decrease related to these retired units totaled approximately $30 million and was recorded as a credit to income. However, since there is currently no impact to net income for the decommissioning of the former ComEd and PECO units, the $30 million credit to income was equally offset with a charge to operating income and an adjustment to the intercompany payable to ComEd and PECO at Generation, and an adjustment to the regulatory liability at Exelon. Both the credit to income and the offsetting charge to operating income are included in the operating and maintenance line of the income statement.
      The net decrease to the ARO resulted primarily from a year-over-year decline in the cost escalation factors used to estimate future undiscounted costs, which was partially offset by an increase resulting from updated decommissioning cost studies received for two nuclear stations. Both the updated escalation factors and the updated cost estimates were provided by independent third-party appraisers. Cost studies are generally updated every three to five years in accordance with NRC regulations and industry practice. The net decrease in the ARO for the former ComEd units, the former PECO units and the AmerGen units resulting from revisions to estimated cash flows during 2005 was $207 million, $40 million and $34 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2005, the ARO balances for the former ComEd, the former PECO and the AmerGen units totaled approximately $2.2 billion, $1.0 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively.
      The following table presents a roll forward of the ARO reflected on Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets from January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2005:

Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund Investments
      At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, Exelon and Generation had nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments in the amounts of $5,306 million and $5,262 million, respectively.
      At June 30, 2005, Exelon and Generation had gross unrealized gains of $539 million and gross unrealized losses of $50 million. The gross unrealized losses were comprised of $41 million related to trust accounts for the decommissioning of the former ComEd and PECO plants and $9 million primarily related to the trust accounts for the decommissioning of the AmerGen plants. At December 31, 2004, Exelon and Generation had gross unrealized gains of $626 million and gross unrealized losses of $44 million related to the nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments. The gross unrealized losses were comprised of $37 million related to trust accounts for the decommissioning of the former ComEd and PECO plants and $7 million primarily related to the trust accounts for the decommissioning of the AmerGen plants.
      During the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2005, Exelon realized gains resulting from the sale of nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments of $54 million and $55 million, respectively. Of these gains, $36 million and $39 million, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, related to investments held in the AmerGen decommissioning trust funds. These gains were recognized primarily as a result of changes to the investment strategy associated with the mix of investments in the nuclear decommissioning trust funds in the first half of 2005. For the former ComEd and PECO units, these gains and losses have been reflected as a component of other income, and due to the contractual construct, had no impact on the results of operations of Exelon and Generation. Refer to Notes 14 and 16 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full discussion of the accounting for nuclear decommissioning and nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments, including a discussion of the contractual construct.
      Exelon evaluates decommissioning trust fund investments for other-than-temporary impairments by analyzing the historical performance, cost basis and market value of securities in unrealized loss positions in comparison to related market indices. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, Exelon concluded that certain trust fund investments were other-than-temporarily impaired based on various factors assessed in the aggregate, including the duration and severity of the impairment, the anticipated recovery of the securities and consideration of Exelon’s ability and intent to hold the investments until the recovery of their cost basis. This determination resulted in impairment charges of $1 million and $2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, recorded in other income and deductions associated with the trust funds for the decommissioning of the AmerGen plants. Also, Exelon realized $5 million and $12 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, of the previously unrealized losses associated with the trust investments for the decommissioning of the former ComEd and PECO plants. As both realized and unrealized losses are included as a reduction in the fair value of the investments and in the fair value of the regulatory liability at ComEd and PECO, realization of these losses associated with the former ComEd and PECO plants had no impact on Exelon’s results of operations or financial position.
12. Earnings Per Share and Shareholders’ Equity (Exelon)
Share Repurchases
      During the first quarter of 2005, Exelon repurchased 0.2 million shares of common stock from a retired executive for $8 million. These shares are held as treasury shares and are recorded at cost. Exelon did not repurchase any shares during the second quarter of 2005.

on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Energy Commitments
      At June 30, 2005, Generation’s long-term commitments relating to the purchase from and sale to unaffiliated utilities and others of energy, capacity and transmission rights did not change significantly from December 31, 2004, except for the following:
  •  Power-only sales commitments of $395 million and minimum fuel purchase commitments of $217 million were eliminated after the sale of Sithe on January 31, 2005.
 
  •  During the second quarter of 2005, in the normal course of business, Generation entered into long-term contracts for uranium enrichment services, increasing commitments in years beyond 2009 by approximately $400 million.
Commercial Commitments
      Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation’s commercial commitments as of June 30, 2005, representing commitments potentially triggered by future events did not change significantly from December 31, 2004, except for the following:
  •  Letters of credit decreased $108 million, primarily as a result of the sale of Sithe. See Note 4 — Acquisitions and Dispositions for further discussion. Guarantees decreased $174 million, primarily as a result of the wind-down of Enterprises’ operations.
Environmental Liabilities
      Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation accrue amounts for environmental investigation and remediation costs that can be reasonably estimated, including amounts for manufactured gas plant (MGP) investigation and remediation. Exelon has identified 69 sites where former MGP activities have or may have resulted in actual site contamination. Of these 69 sites, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has approved the clean up of 5 sites and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has approved the clean up of 9 sites. Pursuant to a PAPUC order, PECO is currently recovering a provision for environmental costs annually for the remediation of former MGP facility sites, for which PECO has recorded a regulatory asset. See Note 14 — Supplemental Financial Information for further information regarding regulatory assets and liabilities. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation had accrued the following amounts for environmental liabilities:

     Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation cannot predict the extent to which they will incur other significant liabilities for additional investigation and remediation costs at these or additional sites identified by environmental agencies or others, or whether such costs may be recoverable from third parties.
      Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act. In a pre-draft permit dated May 13, 2005, as part of the pending National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit renewal process for Oyster Creek, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) preliminarily determined that closed-cycle cooling and environmental restoration are the only viable compliance options for Section 316(b) compliance at Oyster Creek. AmerGen has not made a determination regarding how it will demonstrate compliance with the Section 316(b) regulations, but believes that other compliance options under the final Phase II rule are viable and will be analyzed as part of the plant’s comprehensive demonstration study. If application of the Section 316(b) regulations requires the retrofitting of Oyster Creek’s cooling water intake structure, or extensive wetlands restoration, this could result in material costs of compliance. See Note 20 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act.

See Note 20 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding environmental matters associated with the Cotter Corporation.
      Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions. Exelon announced on May 6, 2005 that it has established a voluntary goal to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by eight percent from 2001 levels by the end of 2008. The eight percent reduction goal represents a decrease of an estimated 1.3 million metric tons of GHG emissions. Exelon will incorporate recognition of GHG emissions and their potential cost into its business analyses as a means to promote internal investment in climate-reducing activities. Exelon made this pledge under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Leaders program, a voluntary industry-government partnership addressing climate change. Exelon believes that its planned greenhouse gas management efforts, including increased use of renewable energy, its current energy efficiency initiatives and its efforts in the areas of carbon sequestration, will allow it to achieve this goal. The anticipated cost of achieving the voluntary GHG emissions reduction goal will not have a material effect on Exelon’s future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Litigation
Exelon
      PJM Billing Dispute. In December 2004, Exelon filed a complaint against PJM and PPL Electric with the FERC alleging that PJM had overcharged Exelon from April 1998 through May 2003 as a result of a billing error. Specifically, the complaint alleges that PJM mistakenly identified PPL Electric’s Elroy substation transformer as belonging to Exelon and that, as a consequence, during times of congestion, Exelon’s bills for transmission congestion from PJM erroneously reflected energy that PPL Electric took from the Elroy substation and used to serve PPL Electric’s load. The complaint requests the FERC, among other things, to direct PPL Electric to refund to PJM $39.1 million, plus interest of approximately $8 million, and for PJM to refund these same amounts to Exelon.
      On April 18, 2005, the FERC issued an Order Establishing Hearing and Settlement Judge Proceedings. The FERC ruled that “. . .Exelon is entitled to reimbursement, but we set for hearing and settlement judge proceedings the issue of how much reimbursement Exelon is entitled to, including interest, and how much each party shall pay, based on each party’s responsibility for the erroneous charges.” The FERC Order required the Chief Administrative Law Judge to appoint a settlement judge and if the matter is not resolved through these settlement proceedings, the Chief Administrative Judge will be required to send the matter to an evidentiary hearing.
      Exelon has not recorded any receivables associated with this matter.
Generation
      Asbestos Claims. Like many other industrial companies, Generation is a defendant in personal injury actions related to asbestos exposure in certain facilities that are currently owned by Generation or were previously owned by ComEd and PECO. The vast majority of these asbestos-related bodily injury claims allege a variety of lung-related diseases based on alleged exposure to asbestos by former third-party contractors involved in the original construction or maintenance of the facilities. The construction of these facilities primarily occurred between 1950 and 1975. Generation does not have significant asbestos-related bodily injury claims occurring after 1980.
      As part of the 2001 restructuring in which Generation purchased ComEd’s and PECO’s energy producing facilities, Generation assumed all current and future benefits and liabilities associated with these facilities. Based on the receipt of asbestos-related bodily injury claims during 2002, 2003 and 2004, where previously an insignificant number of claims were received and corresponding expenses were recorded, Generation engaged independent actuaries to determine if a reasonable estimate of future losses could be made based on historical claims data and other available information. Based on the currently available volume and diversity of historical claim and payment data, the actuaries determined that a reasonable estimate could be prepared and, accordingly, Generation engaged the actuaries to calculate an estimate of future losses. In the second quarter of 2005, based on the actuaries’ analyses, management’s review of current and expected losses and the view of counsel regarding the assumptions used in estimating the future losses, Generation recorded an undiscounted $43 million pre-tax charge for its estimated portion of all estimated future asbestos-related personal injury claims estimated to be presented through 2030. This amount does not include estimated legal costs associated with handling these matters, which could be material. Exelon management determined that it was not reasonable to estimate future asbestos-related personal injury claims past 2030 based on only three years of historical claims data and the significant amount of judgment required to estimate this liability. In calculating future losses, management and the actuaries made various assumptions, including but not limited to, the

overall number of future claims estimated through the use of actuarial models, Exelon’s estimated portion of future settlements and obligations, the distribution of exposure sites, the anticipated future mix of diseases that relate to asbestos exposure and the anticipated levels of awards made to plaintiffs. Exelon’s recent history of successfully defending itself in court cases for asbestos-related bodily injury claims was qualitatively considered in determining this estimate.
      The amounts recorded by Generation for estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims are based upon known facts at the time the report was prepared. Projecting future events, such as the number of new claims to be filed each year and the average cost of disposing of claims, as well as the numerous uncertainties surrounding asbestos-related litigation in the United States, could cause the actual costs to be higher or lower than projected. While it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of the asbestos-related claims and settlements, management believes, after consultation with counsel, that resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on Exelon’s or Generation’s results of operations and financial position. Management cautions, however, that these estimates for asbestos-related bodily injury cases and settlements are difficult to predict and may be influenced by many factors. Accordingly, these matters, if resolved in a manner different from the estimate, could have a material effect on Exelon’s or Generation’s financial position and cash flow.
      The $43 million pre-tax charge was recorded as part of operating and maintenance expense on Generation’s Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income and reduced net income by $27 million. At June 30, 2005, Exelon has approximately $53 million reserved in total for asbestos-related bodily injury claims. Approximately $10 million of this amount relates to 135 open claims presented to Generation as of June 30, 2005, while the remaining $43 million of the reserve is for estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims anticipated to arise through 2030. Exelon anticipates obtaining periodic updates of the estimate of future losses. On a quarterly basis, Exelon will monitor actual experience against the number of forecasted claims to be received and expected claim payments.
PECO and Generation
      Real Estate Tax Appeals. PECO and Generation each have been challenging real estate taxes assessed on nuclear plants. PECO is involved in litigation in which it is contesting taxes assessed in 1997 under the Pennsylvania Public Utility Realty Tax Act of March 4, 1971, as amended (PURTA), and has appealed local real estate assessments for 1998 and 1999 on the Limerick Generating Station (Montgomery County, PA) (Limerick) and Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (York County, PA) (Peach Bottom) plants. Generation is involved in real estate tax appeals for 2000 through 2004, also regarding the valuation of its Limerick and Peach Bottom plants, Quad Cities Station (Rock Island County, IL), Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (Dauphin County, PA) (TMI) and Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (Forked River, NJ). PECO and Generation have reached settlements with the taxing authorities over the Limerick real estate assessments for 1998 and 1999. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, all Limerick tax appeals were dismissed by the state court, PECO has agreed to an additional payment of approximately $3 million for the two PURTA years and Generation has agreed to make additional payments in lieu of taxes for years 2005 through 2008. As a result of the Limerick settlement, PECO reduced its real estate tax reserve balance by $6 million in the first quarter of 2005. In addition, Generation has reached a settlement with the taxing authorities over the TMI real estate assessment and is waiting for state court approval. As a result of the TMI settlement, Generation reduced its real estate tax reserve balance by $6 million in the first quarter of 2005. Generation recently reached an agreement with the taxing authorities for all years under appeal for the Quad Cities station and is working to reduce the agreement to writing and obtain signatures and state court approval. Generation also recently reached an agreement with the taxing authorities for all years under appeal for the

Oyster Creek station and is working toward formal approval by the taxing authorities at their council meetings, signatures and state court approval.
      PECO and Generation believe their reserve balances for other exposures associated with real estate taxes as of June 30, 2005 reflect the probable expected outcome of the litigation and appeals proceedings in accordance with SFAS No. 5. The ultimate outcome of such matters, however, could result in unfavorable or favorable adjustments to the consolidated financial statements of Exelon, PECO and Generation and such adjustments could be material.
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation
      Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation are involved in various other litigation matters that are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation maintain accruals for such costs that are probable of being incurred and subject to reasonable estimation. The ultimate outcomes of such matters, as well as the matters discussed above, are uncertain and may have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation.
Income Tax Refund Claims
      ComEd and PECO have several pending tax refund claims seeking acceleration of certain tax deductions and additional tax credits. ComEd and PECO are unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of these refund claims and will account for any amounts received in the period the matters are settled with the IRS.
      ComEd and PECO had entered into several agreements with a tax consultant related to the filing of these refund claims with the IRS. ComEd and PECO previously made refundable prepayments to the tax consultants of $11 million and $5 million, respectively. The fees for these agreements are contingent upon a successful outcome of the claims and are based upon a percentage of the refunds recovered from the IRS, if any. These potential tax benefits and associated fees could be material to the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of ComEd and PECO. A portion of ComEd’s tax benefits, including any associated interest for periods prior to the merger among PECO, Unicom Corporation (Unicom), the former parent company of ComEd, and Exelon (PECO/ Unicom Merger) would be recorded as a reduction of goodwill pursuant to a reallocation of the PECO/ Unicom Merger purchase price. ComEd and PECO cannot predict the timing of the final resolution of outstanding refund claims.
      In 2004, the IRS granted preliminary approval for one of ComEd’s refund claims and final approval was obtained in the first quarter of 2005. The investment tax credit refund and associated interest have been recorded in the financial statements. Approximately $14 million of tax and interest benefit received in the second quarter of 2005 has been reflected in the financial statements of which $12 million ($9 million after-tax) was recorded to goodwill under the provisions of EITF Issue 93-7, “Uncertainties Related to Income Taxes in a Purchase Business Combination.” As a result, ComEd recorded consulting expenses of $5 million (pre-tax) in 2004.
      Based on recent negotiations with the IRS, PECO believes it will receive a refund related to one of its claims. As of June 30, 2005, PECO had not reflected the tax benefit associated with the refund claim pending final approval of the IRS. During 2005, PECO recorded total consulting expenses of $6 million (pre-tax). The charge represents an estimate of the fee owed to the tax consultant which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on the final resolution of the matter with the IRS.

15. Segment Information (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation)
      As of January 1, 2005, Exelon operates in two business segments: Energy Delivery (ComEd and PECO) and Generation. Exelon evaluates the performance of its business segments on the basis of net income.
      Exelon sold or wound down substantially all components of Enterprises in 2004 and 2003. As a result, as of January 1, 2005, Enterprises is no longer reported as a segment and is included in the “other” category within the table below. Presentation for 2004 has been adjusted for comparative purposes.
      ComEd, PECO and Generation each operate in a single business segment; as such, no separate segment information is provided for these registrants.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004

      Fair-Value Hedges. The Registrants utilize fixed-to-floating interest-rate swaps as a means to achieve their targeted level of variable rate debt as a percent of total debt. At June 30, 2005, ComEd had $240 million of notional amounts of fair-value hedges outstanding. The swaps have been designated as fair-value hedges, as defined in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” (SFAS No. 133) and, as such, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in earnings; however, as long as the hedge remains effective and the underlying transaction remains probable, changes in the fair value of the swaps are offset by changes in the fair value of the hedged liabilities. Any change in the fair value of the hedge as a result of ineffectiveness is recorded immediately in earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, no amounts relating to fair-value hedges were recorded in earnings as a result of ineffectiveness.
      Cash Flow Hedges. The Registrants utilize forward-starting interest-rate swaps to lock in interest-rate levels in anticipation of future financings. At June 30, 2005, ComEd had $325 million of notional amounts of cash-flow hedges outstanding. The swaps have been designated as cash-flow hedges, as defined in SFAS No. 133 and, as such, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI). Any change in the fair value of the hedge as a result of ineffectiveness is recorded immediately in earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, Exelon settled interest-rate swaps in aggregate notional amounts of $1.5 billion and recorded net pre-tax losses of $39 million, which are being recorded as additional interest expense over the remaining life of the debt. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, Exelon recorded income of less than $1 million which was included in other, net on Exelon’s Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income, representing the ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash-flow hedge positions related to the settlement of the interest-rate swaps. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, Exelon did not reclassify any amounts from accumulated OCI into earnings as a result of ineffectiveness. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, ComEd did not reclassify any amounts from accumulated OCI into earnings as a result of ineffectiveness. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, Exelon and ComEd did not reclassify any amounts from accumulated OCI into earnings as a result of forecasted financing transactions no longer being probable.
Energy-Related Derivatives (Exelon and Generation)
      Generation utilizes derivatives to manage its available generating capacity and the provision of wholesale energy to its affiliates. Exelon and Generation utilize energy option contracts, energy financial swap arrangements, futures and forwards to limit the market price risk associated with energy commodity prices. Additionally, Generation enters into certain energy-related derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
      Exelon and Generation’s energy contracts are accounted for under SFAS No. 133. Non-trading contracts may qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales exemption to SFAS No. 133 discussed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation -Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Those that do not meet the normal purchase and normal sales exemption are recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the derivatives recorded at fair value are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met and they are designated as cash-flow hedges, in which case those changes are recorded in OCI, and gains and losses are recognized in earnings when the underlying transaction occurs. Changes in the fair value of derivative contracts that do not meet the hedge criteria under SFAS No. 133 (or are not designated as such) and proprietary trading contracts are recognized in current earnings. Generation also has contracted for access to additional generation and sales to load-serving entities that are accounted for under the accrual method of accounting discussed in Note 20 of Exelon’s Notes to

Cash-Flow Hedges (Generation)
      The tables below provide details of effective cash-flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 included on Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2005. The data in the table gives an indication of the magnitude of SFAS No. 133 hedges Generation has in place; however, since under SFAS No. 133 not all hedges are recorded in OCI, the table does not provide an all-encompassing picture of Generation’s derivatives. The tables also include a rollforward of accumulated OCI related to cash-flow hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, providing information about the changes in the fair value of hedges and the reclassification from OCI into earnings.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      At June 30, 2005, Generation had net unrealized pre-tax losses of $370 million of cash-flow hedges recorded in accumulated OCI. Based on market prices at June 30, 2005, approximately $274 million of these deferred net pre-tax unrealized losses on derivative instruments in accumulated OCI are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months. However, the actual amount reclassified to earnings could vary due to future changes in market prices. Amounts recorded in accumulated OCI related to changes in energy commodity cash-flow hedges are reclassified into earnings when the forecasted purchase or sale of the energy commodity occurs. The majority of Generation’s cash-flow hedges are expected to settle within the next three years.
      Generation’s cash-flow hedge activity impact to pre-tax earnings based on the reclassification adjustment from accumulated OCI to earnings was a $102 million pre-tax loss and a $124 million pre-tax loss for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and a $189 million pre-tax loss and a $248 million pre-tax loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Other Derivatives (Exelon and Generation)
      Exelon and Generation enter into certain contracts that are derivatives, but do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 or are not designated as cash-flow hedges. These contracts are also entered into to economically hedge and limit the market price risk associated with energy commodity prices. Changes in the fair value of these derivative contracts are recognized in current earnings. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, Exelon and Generation recognized net unrealized losses of $12 million and realized gains of $7 million for a mark-to-market loss of $5 million and net unrealized gains of $152 million and realized losses of $131 million for a mark-to-market gain of $21 million, respectively, relating to mark-to-market activity of certain non-trading power purchase and sale contracts pursuant to SFAS No. 133. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, Exelon and Generation recognized net unrealized gains of $41 million and realized gains of $17 million for a mark-to-market gain of $58 million and net unrealized gains of $186 million and realized losses of $204 million for a mark-to-market loss of $18 million, respectively, relating to mark-to-market activity of certain non-trading power purchase and sale contracts pursuant to SFAS No. 133. Mark-to-market activity on non-trading power purchase and sale contracts are reported in fuel expense and purchased power expense.
      As a result of the nature of operations and the use of mark-to market accounting for certain derivatives, mark-to-market earnings will fluctuate. Generation cannot predict these fluctuations, but the impact on purchased power expense, fuel expense and earnings could be material. The primary factors that cause changes in earnings due to mark-to-market are the number and size of Generation’s open derivative positions and the changes in forward commodity prices.
      Proprietary Trading Activities. Proprietary trading includes all contracts entered into purely to profit from market price changes as opposed to hedging an exposure and is subject to limits established by the Risk Management Committee. These contracts are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recognized in earnings. The proprietary trading activities are a complement to Generation’s energy marketing portfolio but represent a very small portion of Generation’s overall energy marketing activities.
      Generation recognized a mark-to-market gain of $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, and a mark-to-market gain of $9 million and a mark-to-market loss of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, relating to mark-to-market activity of derivative instruments entered

      (Dollars in millions except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
General
      Exelon Corporation (Exelon) is a registered public utility holding company. It operates through subsidiaries in two business segments:
  •  Energy Delivery, whose businesses include the purchase and regulated retail sale of electricity and distribution and transmission services by Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) in northern Illinois and PECO Energy Company (PECO) in southeastern Pennsylvania and the purchase and retail sale of natural gas and distribution services by PECO in the Pennsylvania counties surrounding the City of Philadelphia.
 
  •  Generation, consists principally of the electric generating facilities and wholesale energy marketing operations of Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation), the competitive retail sales business of Exelon Energy Company and certain other generation projects.
      See Note 15 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further segment information.
      Exelon sold or wound down substantially all components of Exelon Enterprises Company, LLC (Enterprises) in 2004 and 2003. As a result, Enterprises is no longer reported as a segment as of January 1, 2005.
      Exelon’s corporate operations, through its business services subsidiary, Exelon Business Services Company (BSC), provide Exelon’s business segments with a variety of support services, including legal, human resources, financial, information technology, supply management and corporate governance services. ComEd and PECO also receive additional services from BSC, including planning and engineering of delivery systems, management of construction, operation and maintenance of the transmission and delivery systems, and management of other support services. Generation receives additional services from BSC for inventory and information technology support and management of other support services. These costs are allocated to the applicable business segments. Additionally, the results of Exelon’s corporate operations include costs for corporate governance and interest costs and income from various investment and financing activities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
      Management of each of the Registrants makes a number of significant estimates, assumptions and judgments in the preparation of its financial statements. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the estimates and judgments necessary in the Registrants’ accounting for asset retirement obligations, asset impairments, defined benefit pension and other postretirement welfare benefits, regulatory accounting, derivative instruments, depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment, contingencies, severance, revenue recognition and ownership interests in variable interest entities.

EXELON CORPORATION
Executive Overview
      Financial Results. Exelon’s diluted earnings per average common share were $0.76 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $0.78 for the same period in 2004. The decrease is primarily due to a reserve recorded for estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims, one additional planned refueling outage, decreased income from discontinued operations and the sale of Boston Generating in 2004, partially offset by higher margins on Generation’s wholesale sales, favorable weather and realized gains related to the decommissioning trust fund investments for the AmerGen plants.
      Exelon’s diluted earnings per average common share were $1.53 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $1.40 for the same period in 2004. The increase is due to higher margins on Generation’s wholesale sales, favorable weather, unrealized mark-to-market gains from non-trading activities, realized gains related to the decommissioning trust fund investments for the AmerGen plants and lower interest expense due to debt retirements, partially offset by ancillary costs paid to PJM, which prior to January 1, 2005 were included in the purchase power agreement with Generation, a reserve recorded for estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims, the sale of Boston Generating in 2004 and a gain recorded in 2004 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle due to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. (FIN) 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46-R).
      Investment Strategy. Exelon continued to follow a disciplined approach in investing to maximize the earnings and cash flows from its assets and businesses, while selling those that do not meet its strategic goals. Highlights include:
  •  Proposed Merger with PSEG — On December 20, 2004, Exelon entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) with Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG), a holding company engaged through its subsidiaries in electric and gas utility businesses primarily located and serving customers in New Jersey, whereby PSEG will be merged with and into Exelon (Merger).
 
     On June 30, 2005, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the Merger without a hearing. Exelon and PSEG proposed in the FERC application, and FERC approved, a market concentration mitigation plan involving the divestiture of 4,000 MW of coal, mid-merit (or intermediate) and peaking generation in the PJM region, the ongoing auction of 2,600 MW of nuclear output and Exelon’s and PSEG’s proposal to invest a total of $25 million in transmission improvements, which proposal was accepted by FERC.
 
     PSEG shareholders approved the Merger on July 19, 2005. Exelon shareholders approved the issuance of Exelon shares pursuant to the Merger on July 22, 2005.
 
     See Note 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Additionally, see Note 2 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
 
  •  Sale of Sithe — On January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a series of transactions that resulted in Generation’s sale of its investment in Sithe. Specifically, subsidiaries of Generation closed on the acquisition of Reservoir Capital Group’s 50% interest in Sithe and the sale of 100% of Sithe to Dynegy, Inc. (Dynegy). Prior to closing on the sale to Dynegy, subsidiaries of Generation received from Sithe approximately $65 million in cash distributions. As a result of the sale, Exelon and Generation deconsolidated from their balance sheets approximately $820 million of debt and were released from approximately $125 million of credit support. Dynegy acquired $32 million of cash as part of the sale of Sithe. Additionally, Exelon and Generation recorded $55 million of liabilities related to certain indemnifications provided to Dynegy and other liabilities directly resulting from the transaction. These liabilities were taken into account in the determination of the net gain on sale of

71


Table of Contents

  $19 million (before income taxes). See Note 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the sale of Generation’s investment in Sithe.
      Financing Activities. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation met their respective capital resource requirements primarily with internally generated cash during the second quarter of 2005. See the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005 for information on the financing activities which occurred in the first quarter of 2005.
  •  On June 15, 2005, ComEd paid $58 million from internally generated cash to redeem its outstanding 9.875% First Mortgage Bonds, comprised of principal of $54 million, interest of $3 million and premium of $1 million.
 
  •  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, Exelon settled interest-rate swaps designated as cash-flow hedges in aggregate notional amounts of $1.5 billion entered into in anticipation of the issuance of debt to finance contributions to its pension plans and recorded net pre-tax losses of $39 million, which are being recorded as additional interest expense over the life of the debt.
 
  •  On June 9, 2005, Exelon issued and sold $1.7 billion of senior debt securities pursuant to its senior debt indenture, dated as of May 1, 2001, consisting of $400 million of 4.45% senior notes due 2010, $800 million of 4.90% senior notes due 2015 and $500 million of 5.625% senior notes due 2035. The net proceeds from the sale of the notes were used to repay $1.5 billion in remaining principal due on a $2 billion term loan agreement and $200 million of a $500 million term loan agreement.
      Regulatory Developments — Through and Out Rates/ SECA. In November 2004, the FERC issued two orders authorizing ComEd and PECO to recover amounts as a result of the elimination of through and out (T&O) rates for transmission service scheduled out of or across their respective transmission systems and ending within pre-expansion PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM) and Midwest Independent System Operators (MISO) territories. T&O rates were terminated pursuant to FERC orders effective December 1, 2004. These new rates, known as Seams Elimination Cost/ Charge Adjustment/ Assignment (SECA), are collected from load-serving entities within PJM and MISO over a transitional period from December 1, 2004 through March 31, 2006, subject to refund, surcharge and hearing. As load-serving entities, ComEd and PECO are also required to pay SECA rates based on the benefits they receive from the elimination of T&O rates of other transmission owners within PJM and MISO. On June 16, 2005, FERC issued an order setting a hearing to address SECA cost recovery issues, and consolidated that proceeding with a proceeding to address the long-term transmission rate design.
      During 2004 prior to the termination of T&O rates, ComEd and PECO had net T&O collections of approximately $50 million and $3 million, respectively. As a result of the November 2004 FERC orders and potential appeals, ComEd may see reduced net collections, and PECO may become a net payer of SECA charges. Since the inception of the SECA rates in December 2004, ComEd has recorded approximately $22 million of SECA collections net of SECA charges, including $4 million and $17 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, while PECO has recorded $3 million of SECA charges net of SECA collections, including $1 million and $3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Management of each of ComEd and PECO believes that appropriate reserves have been established in the event that such SECA collections are required to be refunded. However, as the above amounts collected under the SECA rates are subject to refund and surcharge and the ultimate outcome of the proceeding establishing SECA rates is uncertain, the result of this proceeding may have a material adverse effect on ComEd’s and PECO’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
      Illinois Regulatory Filing. In 2004, the ICC initiated and conducted a workshop process to consider issues related to retail electric service in the post-transition period (i.e., post-2006). Issues addressed included utility wholesale generation supply procurement methodology, rates, competition and utility service obligations. All interested parties were invited to participate. The end result was a report from the ICC to the Illinois General Assembly that was generally supportive of utilities competitively procuring generation supply through a reverse-auction process with full recovery of the supply costs from retail customers. In the proposed reverse-auction model, qualified energy suppliers would compete in a transparent, fair and structured auction to

72


Table of Contents

provide energy to the utilities and their customers; winning bidders would provide the power needed at the price determined by the auction’s results; and the utilities would make no profit on the energy but would fully recover from customers the price of procurement. The ICC staff and an auction monitor would oversee the entire process to assure a fair bidding process.
      On February 25, 2005, ComEd filed with the ICC seeking regulatory approval of tariffs that implement the methodologies supported by the report, including a proposal consistent with the reverse-auction process described above. As requested by ComEd, the ICC initiated hearings on the matter. The Illinois Attorney General, Citizens’ Utility Board, Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Environmental Law and Public Policy Center subsequently filed a motion to dismiss the proceeding arguing that customers are entitled to cost-based rates for power and delivery and that the ICC lacked authority to approve rates based on the market value of power, as proposed by ComEd. On June 1, 2005 the Administrative Law Judge denied the motion and on July 13 the ICC denied the moving parties’ appeal. The ICC’s final order is expected by January 2006. In addition to the February 2005 filing, ComEd intends to make one or more additional filings during 2005 to begin the process to establish post-2006 retail rates, including rates for bundled service and delivery service rates. The Illinois General Assembly has held hearings concerning generation procurement post-2006 and it may choose to take further action on this issue. In April 2005 a proposed amendment to the Illinois Public Utilities Act was introduced in Committee hearings in the Illinois legislature, which, if enacted into law, would have extended the current “rate freeze” and transition period for an additional two years. However, the proposed amendment was defeated in Committee. ComEd cannot predict the results of these regulatory processes before the ICC or whether the Illinois General Assembly might take action that could have a material effect on the outcome of the regulatory process. Neither can ComEd predict the long-term impact of customer choice and customer service declarations on its results of operations.
      Outlook for the Remainder of 2005 and Beyond. In addition to the items discussed in Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Exelon’s future financial results will be affected by the following:
  •  Exelon’s interests in synthetic fuel-producing facilities increased Exelon’s net income by $29 million and $15 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $45 million and $29 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Tax credits generated by the production of synthetic fuel are subject to a phase-out provision that gradually reduces tax credits as the annual average wellhead price per barrel of domestic crude oil increases into an inflation-adjusted phase-out range. For 2004, the tax credit would have begun to phase out when the annual average wellhead price per barrel of domestic crude oil exceeded $51 per barrel and would have been completely phased out when the annual average wellhead price per barrel of domestic crude oil reached $64 per barrel. The 2005 phase-out range will be calculated using inflation rates published in 2006 by the Internal Revenue Service. Exelon estimates that for 2005 the tax credits will begin to phase out if the annual average wellhead price per barrel of domestic crude oil exceeds $52 per barrel and will completely phase out if the annual average wellhead price per barrel of domestic crude oil reaches $66 per barrel. As of June 30, 2005, the average closing price of a barrel of domestic crude oil was approximately $46. Based on both the average closing price to date and current futures prices for the remaining months of 2005, Exelon estimates that there will not be a phase-out of tax credits in 2005.
 
     Absent any efforts to mitigate market price exposure, if domestic crude oil prices increase further in 2005 and continue to stay at a high level in 2006 and 2007, the tax credits and net income generated by the investments may be reduced substantially and could result in an estimated after-tax non-operating loss of $70 million per year in the event the tax credits are completely phased out. In 2005, Exelon and Generation entered into certain derivatives to hedge a portion of this commodity exposure in the normal course of their trading operations. These derivatives could result in cash proceeds to Exelon of $23 million, $70 million and $70 million in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively, in the event the tax credits are completely phased-out.

     Exelon has recorded an intangible asset related to its investments in these facilities with a net carrying value of $177 million at June 30, 2005 that could become impaired if domestic crude oil prices continue to increase in the future. However, the subsidiaries of Exelon that hold interests in the synthetic fuel-producing facilities are subject to debt obligations related to the purchase of the facilities that have a principal balance of $189 million as of June 30, 2005. The performance of those subsidiaries with respect to these debt obligations is not guaranteed by Exelon.

      Operating Revenues. Operating revenues increased for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 due to increased revenues at Energy Delivery, partially offset by decreased revenues from non-affiliates at Generation. The increase in revenues at Energy Delivery was primarily due to an increase in the number of customers choosing ComEd or PECO as their electric supplier and favorable weather, partially offset by decreased volume exclusive of the effects of customer choice and weather. The decrease in revenues from non-affiliates at Generation was primarily due to the impact of the sale of Boston Generating in May 2004 and the expiration of Generation’s purchase power agreement with Midwest Generation in 2004, partially offset by higher prices. See further analysis and discussion of operating revenues by segment below.
      Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. Purchased power and fuel expense decreased slightly during the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to the sale of Boston Generating in May 2004, partially offset by unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments, higher market energy prices and increased costs for transmission and ancillary services from PJM. Purchased power represented 19% of Generation’s total supply for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 23% for the same period in 2004. See further analysis and discussion of purchased power and fuel expense by segment below.
      Operating and Maintenance Expense. Operating and maintenance expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared with the same period in 2004. The slight increase was primarily due to a reserve recorded for estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims, almost entirely offset by lower severance and pension expense and the sale of Boston Generating in May 2004. See further discussion of operating and maintenance expenses by segment below.
      Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 was primarily due to capital additions and increased competitive transition charge (CTC) amortization expense.

      Operating Income. Exclusive of the changes in operating revenues, purchased power and fuel expense, operating and maintenance expense and depreciation and amortization expense discussed above, the increase in operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 was the result of decreased taxes other than income in 2005 as compared to 2004, primarily due to the sale of Boston Generating in 2004 and reduced payroll tax expense.
      Other Income and Deductions. The change in other income and deductions reflects increased interest expense on short-term debt at Exelon, reduced interest expense at Energy Delivery due to debt retirements at ComEd in 2004 and increased realized gains related to the decommissioning trust fund investments for the AmerGen plants. In 2004, other income and deductions reflected the gain on the sale of Boston Generating.
      Effective Income Tax Rate. Exelon’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations decreased from 30.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to 28.6% for the same period in 2005. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the change in the effective income tax rate.
      Discontinued Operations. On January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a series of transactions that resulted in Generation’s sale of its investment in Sithe. In addition, Exelon has sold or wound down substantially all components of Enterprises and AllEnergy Gas & Electric Marketing LLC (AllEnergy), a business within Exelon Energy, which is part of Generation. Accordingly, the results of operations and any gain or loss on the sale of these entities have been presented as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 within Exelon’s (for Sithe, AllEnergy and Enterprises) and Generation’s (for Sithe and AllEnergy) Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Notes 2 and 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the presentation of Sithe, certain Enterprises businesses and AllEnergy as discontinued operations and the sale of Sithe. The results of Sithe and AllEnergy are further discussed in the Generation discussion below.
      The income from discontinued operations decreased by $20 million from 2004 to 2005 primarily due to reduced activity at Enterprises and the inclusion of Sithe in 2004 second quarter results but not 2005.
Results of Operations by Business Segment

      Net Income. Energy Delivery’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 decreased significantly as a result of higher purchased power prices effective January 1, 2005 at ComEd associated with its purchase power agreement (PPA) with Generation, partially offset by higher revenues at ComEd due to favorable weather, lower interest expense at ComEd and PECO, and lower operating and maintenance expense at ComEd and PECO, primarily due to decreased severance and pension expense.

      Weather. The demand for electricity and gas is affected by weather conditions. With respect to the electric business, very warm weather in summer months and, with respect to the electric and gas businesses, very cold weather in other months are referred to as “favorable weather conditions” because these weather conditions result in increased sales of electricity and gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand. Energy Delivery’s revenues were positively affected by favorable weather conditions at ComEd in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. In the ComEd service territory, cooling and heating degree days were 69% higher and 4% lower, respectively, than the prior year. In the PECO service territory, cooling and heating degree days were 21% lower and 21% higher, respectively, than the prior year.
      Customer Choice. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, 27% and 29% of energy delivered to Energy Delivery’s retail customers was provided by alternative electric suppliers or under the ComEd Power Purchase Option (PPO).
      All ComEd and PECO customers have the choice to purchase energy from an alternative electric supplier. This choice generally does not impact the volume of deliveries, but affects revenue collected from customers related to supplied energy and generation service. In PECO’s case, operating income is not affected by customer choice since any increase or decrease in revenues is completely offset by any related increase or decrease in purchased power expense. As of June 30, 2005, no alternative electric supplier had approval from the ICC, and no electric utilities had chosen, to enter the ComEd residential market for the supply of electricity. In July 2005, one alternative supplier was approved to serve residential customers in Illinois.

(a)  Less than one percent.
     For ComEd, the increase in revenues was primarily from a decrease in non-residential customers in Illinois electing to purchase energy from an alternative electric supplier or the PPO. This decrease relates to the continued increase in the energy market price for electricity. The increase in electric retail revenue associated with customer choice at PECO primarily related to a significant number of residential customers returning to PECO as their energy provider in December 2004. This action followed the assignment of approximately 194,000 residential customers to alternative electric suppliers for a one-year term beginning in December 2003, as required by the PAPUC and PECO’s final electric restructuring order.
      Volume. The decrease in ComEd’s electric revenues attributable to volume, exclusive of the effects of weather and customer choice, was primarily due to decreased usage per customer, generally in the residential and large commercial and industrial customer classes. The decrease in PECO’s gas revenues attributable to lower delivery volume, exclusive of the effects of weather, was due to decreased usage in the residential and small commercial and industrial customer classes.
      Rate Changes and Mix. With respect to ComEd, the increased wholesale market price of electricity and other adjustments to the energy component of its CTC calculation decreased the collection of CTC by $16 million in 2005 as compared to 2004. Also contributing to the decrease was lower average rates paid by residential and large commercial and industrial customers totaling $5 million. The lower average residential rates relate to the volume discounts associated with the increased usage year over year due to favorable weather. As a result of increasing mitigation factors, changes in energy prices and the ability of certain customers to establish fixed, multi-year CTC rates, ComEd anticipates that CTC revenues will range from $90 million to $110 million annually in 2005 and 2006, compared to annual CTC revenues of $169 million in 2004. Under current Illinois law, no CTCs will be collected after 2006.
      The increase in electric revenues at PECO attributable to rate changes and mix was a result of changes in usage patterns across all customer classes.
      The increase in PECO’s gas revenues attributable to rate changes and mix was due to increases in rates through PAPUC-approved changes to the purchased gas adjustment clause that became effective March 1, 2004, March 1, 2005 and June 1, 2005. The average purchased gas cost rate per million cubic feet in effect for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 2% higher than the average rate for the same period in 2004.
      PJM Transmission. ComEd’s transmission revenues and purchased power expense each increased by $8 million due to ComEd’s May 1, 2004 entry into PJM.
      T&O/ SECA Rates. Revenues decreased $7 million at ComEd as a result of the elimination of T&O rates in accordance with FERC orders that became effective December 1, 2004. Effective December 1, 2004, PJM became obligated to pay SECA collections to ComEd and PECO, and ComEd and PECO became

obligated to pay SECA charges — see “Purchased Power and Fuel Expense” below. The elimination of T&O revenues and inclusion of SECA revenues had a minimal impact on PECO as T&O revenues recognized in the past were not material and SECA revenues currently being recognized also are not material. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on T&O/ SECA rates.
      Other Wholesale and Miscellaneous Revenues. PECO’s gas revenues decreased $12 million due to decreased off-system sales.
      Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. The changes in Energy Delivery’s purchased power and fuel expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:

      Prices. ComEd’s purchased power expense increased $215 million due to higher prices associated with its PPA with Generation. As a result of the Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement as of April 30, 2004 with Generation, starting in January 1, 2005, ComEd began paying higher prices for its purchased power from Generation and ceased to procure its ancillary services from Generation. This agreement fixed the pricing for purchased power through December 31, 2006 based upon the current market prices as of April 30, 2004. In 2000, ComEd and Generation entered into a PPA that fixed the pricing for purchased power through December 31, 2004 based upon the then current market prices. PECO’s purchased power expense increased due to a change in the mix of average pricing related to its PPA with Generation. Fuel expense for gas increased due to higher gas prices. See “Operating Revenues” above.
      Customer Choice. The increase in purchased power expense resulting from customer choice was primarily due to fewer ComEd non-residential customers electing to purchase energy from an alternative electric supplier and a significant number of residential customers returning to PECO as their energy provider in December 2004.
      Weather. The increase in purchased power and fuel expense attributable to weather was primarily due to favorable weather conditions in the ComEd service territory.
      PJM Transmission. ComEd’s transmission revenues and purchased power expense each increased due to its May 1, 2004 entry into PJM.
      Volume. The decrease in PECO’s gas fuel expense attributable to volume, exclusive of the effects of weather, was due to decreased usage in the residential and small commercial and industrial customer classes.
      T&O/ SECA Rates. Prior to the FERC orders issued in November 2004, ComEd collected T&O rates for transmission service scheduled out of or across ComEd’s transmission system. Rates collected as the transmission owner were recorded in operating revenues. After joining PJM on May 1, 2004, PJM allocated T&O collections to ComEd as a load-serving entity. The collections received by ComEd as a load-serving entity have been recorded as a decrease to purchased power expense.

Table of Contents

      Effective December 1, 2004, PJM became obligated to pay SECA collections to ComEd and PECO, and ComEd and PECO became obligated to pay SECA charges. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, ComEd recorded SECA collections net of SECA charges of $4 million, and PECO recorded SECA charges of $1 million. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on T&O / SECA rates.
      Operating and Maintenance Expense. The changes in operating and maintenance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:
                         
            Total

(a)  Pension expense in 2005 is expected to be lower than in 2004 due in large part to significant pension plan contributions made in the first quarter of 2005. See Note 9 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(b) See Note 13 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
 
(c) The decrease at PECO is primarily due to the enforcement of stricter collection standards beginning in early 2005 as allowed by recent legislation in Pennsylvania.
 
(d) Increase was primarily due to increases in vegetation management services compared to the prior year for ComEd and PECO and consulting services at ComEd related to various regulatory proceedings. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the regulatory proceedings.
     Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The changes in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:
                         
            Total
            Increase
    ComEd   PECO   (Decrease)
             
Recoverable transition costs/ CTC amortization

    (4 )     (1 )     (5 )
                   
Increase (decrease) in depreciation and amortization expense
  $ (2 )   $ 12     $ 10  
                   
      ComEd anticipates amortizing on an annual basis approximately $43 million of transition costs in 2005 and 2006, which is consistent with the amount amortized for 2004. The quarterly amount of this amortization during the year is dependent on the projected operations margin by quarter, which can result in fluctuations compared to prior periods. ComEd expects to fully recover its remaining recoverable transition costs regulatory asset balance of $72 million by the end of 2006. Consistent with the provision of the Illinois legislation, regulatory assets may be recovered at amounts that provide ComEd an earned return on common equity within the Illinois legislation earnings threshold.
      PECO’s additional amortization of the CTC is in accordance with its original settlement under the Pennsylvania Competition Act.
      The increase in depreciation expense is primarily due to capital additions at ComEd.

Table of Contents

      In January 2005, as part of a broader Energy Delivery systems strategy associated with the pending merger with PSEG, Exelon’s Board of Directors approved the implementation of a new customer information and billing system at PECO. The approval of this new system requires an accelerated depreciation of PECO’s current system, which is expected to result in additional annual depreciation expense in 2005 and 2006 of $15 million and $10 million, respectively, relative to 2004 levels. If additional system changes are approved, additional accelerated depreciation may be required.
      The decrease in other amortization expense at ComEd was due to the completion of the amortization of one of its software packages in 2004.
      Taxes Other Than Income. The changes in taxes other than income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:

(a)  As these taxes are collected from customers and remitted to the taxing authorities and included in revenues and expenses, the increase in taxes expense was offset by a corresponding increase in revenues.
     Interest Expense. The reduction in interest expense at ComEd and PECO of $19 million and $6 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 was primarily due to long-term debt retirements and prepayments in 2004 at ComEd pursuant to Exelon’s accelerated liability management plan and payments on long-term debt owed to ComEd Transitional Funding Trust and PECO Energy Transition Trust (PETT).
      Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Affiliates. The decrease in equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates was a result of a decrease in interest expense of the deconsolidated financing trusts of ComEd and PECO due to scheduled repayments of outstanding long-term debt.
      Other, Net. The changes in other, net for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:

(a)  The decrease in interest income on the long-term receivable from UII, LLC resulted from this receivable being repaid near the end of 2004.
     Income Taxes. ComEd’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 39% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details of the components of the effective income tax rates.
      PECO’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 30% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 33% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations in 2005 reflects a one-time state income tax benefit as a result of a favorable Pennsylvania state tax audit for the tax year 2000. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details of the components of the effective income tax rates.

      Trading volumes of 5,660 GWhs and 5,285 GWhs for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are not included in the table above.
      Electric Sales to Affiliates. The increase in revenue from sales to affiliates was primarily due to higher prices associated with Generation’s PPA with ComEd. As a result of the Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement as of April 30, 2004 with ComEd, effective January 1, 2005, Generation began receiving higher prices from ComEd for its purchased power. The remaining increase was due to an increase in sales to Energy Delivery due to customers returning from alternative electric suppliers and increased volumes due to favorable weather conditions in the ComEd service territory.
      Wholesale and Retail Electric Sales. The changes in Generation’s wholesale and retail electric sales for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:

  $ (75 )
       
 
(a) Sales of Boston Generating of $2 million were included in other revenues for 2004.
     Due to the sale of Boston Generating in May 2004, wholesale and retail sales decreased $87 million. The remaining decrease in wholesale and retail sales was primarily due to lower volumes sold to the market during the second quarter of 2005, although the power was sold at overall higher prices. Generation had less power to sell into the market as a result of higher demand for power sold to affiliates, the expiration of its purchase power agreement with Midwest Generation in 2004 and lower total generation.
      Retail Gas Sales. Retail gas sales increased $12 million primarily due to higher gas prices in the overall market.
      Other Revenues. The decrease in other revenues of $5 million was primarily due to a decrease in sales from tolling and gas management agreements during the second quarter of 2005. This decrease was offset by revenue from Generation’s operating agreement with a subsidiary of Tamuin International, Inc., formerly Sithe International, Inc. This revenue was substantially offset by a corresponding increase in Generation’s operating and maintenance expense. See Note 3 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding acquisitions and dispositions.

      Boston Generating. The decrease in purchased power and fuel expense associated with Boston Generating is due to the sale of the business in May 2004.
      Economic Hedges. Mark-to-market losses on hedging activities were $22 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to gains of $22 million for the same period of 2004. Approximately $9 million of the mark-to-market gains on hedging activities for the three months ended June 30, 2005 are anticipated to reverse subsequent to 2005.
      Volume. The decrease in purchased power expense attributable to volume was primarily due to the expiration of Generation’s purchase power agreement with Midwest Generation.
      Price. The increase reflects overall higher market energy prices due to higher natural gas and oil prices during the second quarter of 2005, which resulted in an increase in average purchase power costs of approximately $9 per MWh for the period.
      Other. Other decreases in purchased power and fuel expense were primarily due to $21 million of lower transmission expense resulting from reduced inter-region transmission charges, primarily associated with ComEd’s integration into PJM on May 1, 2004.

(a) The increase in $/MHw is due to higher prices in 2005 associated with Generation’s PPA with ComEd.
 
(b) Average supply cost includes purchased power and fuel costs associated with electric sales. Average electric supply cost does not include purchased power and fuel costs associated with retail gas sales.
     Operating and Maintenance Expense. The changes in operating and maintenance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:
         
    Increase
    (Decrease)
     
Boston Generating

Payroll, benefits and pension cost
    (17 )
Other
    (7 )
       
Increase in operating and maintenance expense
  $ 29  
       
      The increase in operating and maintenance expense was primarily due to the $43 million liability recorded in June 2005 for estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims and operating and maintenance expense associated with Generation’s operating agreement with a subsidiary of Tamuin International, Inc., formerly Sithe International, Inc. The increase in operating and maintenance expense associated with Tamuin International, Inc. was substantially offset by the corresponding increase in Generation’s other revenues discussed above. For further discussion of estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims see Note 13 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
      Nuclear fleet operating data and purchased power cost data for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:
                 
    Three Months
    Ended
    June 30,
     
    2005   2004
         
Nuclear fleet capacity factor(a)

Average purchased power cost for wholesale operations per MWh
  $ 57.06     $ 48.39  
 
(a) Excludes Salem, which is operated by Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG).
     The lower nuclear fleet capacity factor number resulted from a higher number of planned refuel outage days in the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. The lower capacity factor and the costs associated with the planned refuel outages resulted in a higher production cost per MWh

produced for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. There was one planned refuel outage and eight other outages that began during the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to no planned refuel outages and seven other outages that began during the same period in 2004.
      In the three months ended June 30, 2005, one of the Quad Cities’ units returned to Extended Power Uprate (EPU) generation levels after extensive testing and load verification on its new steam dryer was completed. During the same period in 2004 both Quad Cities’ units operated at pre-EPU generation levels due to performance issues with their steam dryers. The steam dryer in the other Quad Cities’ unit was also replaced in the three months ended June 30, 2005. That unit continues to operate at pre-Extended Power Uprate (EPU) generation levels pending completion of extensive testing and load verification in order to ensure safe and reliable operations at the EPU output levels.
      Taxes Other Than Income. The decrease in taxes other than income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 was primarily due to the sale of Boston Generating in May 2004.
      Other, Net. The decrease in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the $85 million gain ($52 million, net of taxes) on the disposal of Boston Generating recorded in the second quarter of 2004, partially offset by gains realized in the second quarter of 2005 in the amount of $36 million related to the decommissioning trust fund investments for the AmerGen plants, primarily associated with changes in Generation’s investment strategy. Realized gains associated with the decommissioning trust fund investments for the former PECO and ComEd units were $18 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily as a result of the changes in Generation’s investment strategy, however; as a result of the contractual construct, the gains on the investments associated with the former ComEd and PECO units are offset within other, net and have no impact on net income. Refer to Notes 14 and 16 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full discussion of the accounting for nuclear decommissioning and nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments.
      Effective Income Tax Rate. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 38.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 38.0% for the same period in 2004. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the change in the effective income tax rate.
      Discontinued Operations. On January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a series of transactions that resulted in Generation’s sale of its investment in Sithe. In addition, Generation has sold or wound down substantially all components of AllEnergy, a business within Exelon Energy. Accordingly, the results of operations and the gain on the sale of Sithe have been presented as discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 within Generation’s Consolidated Statements of Income. See Notes 2 and 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the presentation of Sithe and AllEnergy as discontinued operations and the sale of Sithe.

      Operating Revenues. Operating revenues decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 due to decreased revenues from non-affiliates at Generation partially offset by increased revenues at Energy Delivery. The decrease in revenues from non-affiliates at Generation was primarily due to the impact of the sale of Boston Generating in 2004 and reduced volume, partially offset by higher prices. The increase in revenues at Energy Delivery was primarily due to an increase in the number of customers choosing ComEd or PECO as their electric supplier, favorable weather conditions and higher transmission revenues. See further analysis and discussion of operating revenues by segment below.
      Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. Purchased power and fuel expense decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to the sale of Boston Generating in May 2004, favorable mark-to-market adjustments related to non-trading activities and the expiration of the purchase power agreement with Midwest Generation, partially offset by higher market energy prices and increased costs for transmission and ancillary services from PJM. Purchased power represented 20% of Generation’s total supply for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 23% for the same period in 2004. See further analysis and discussion of purchased power and fuel expense by segment below.
      Operating and Maintenance Expense. Operating and maintenance expense decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to the sale of Boston Generating and decreased severance and benefit expense, partially offset by a reserve for the estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims that was recorded in the second quarter of 2005. See further discussion of operating and maintenance expenses by segment below.
      Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 was primarily due to additional plant placed in service, increased CTC amortization expense and increased amortization expense related to Generation’s ARC asset. These increases were partially offset by reduced depreciation and amortization expense due to the sale of Boston Generating.
      Operating Income. Exclusive of the changes in operating revenues, purchased power and fuel expense, operating and maintenance expense and depreciation and amortization expense discussed above, the increase in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 was the

93


Table of Contents

result of decreased taxes other than income in 2005 as compared to 2004, primarily due to the sale of Boston Generating and reduced property tax expense.
      Other Income and Deductions. The change in other income and deductions reflects increased interest expense on short-term debt at Exelon, reduced equity from the earnings of synthetic fuel investments, reduced interest expense at Energy Delivery due to debt retirements at ComEd in 2004 and increased realized gains related to the decommissioning trust fund investments for the AmerGen plants. In 2004, other income and deductions reflected the gain on sale of Boston Generating.
      Effective Income Tax Rate. Exelon’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 29.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the change in the effective income tax rate.
      Discontinued Operations. On January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a series of transactions that resulted in Generation’s sale of its investment in Sithe. In addition, Exelon has sold or wound down substantially all components of Enterprises and AllEnergy. Accordingly, the results of operations and any gain or loss on the sale of these entities have been presented as discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 within Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Notes 2 and 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the presentation of Sithe, certain Enterprises businesses and AllEnergy as discontinued operations and the sale of Sithe. The results of Sithe and AllEnergy are further discussed in the Generation discussion below.
      The income from discontinued operations increased by $11 million from 2004 to 2005 primarily due to the gain on the sale of Sithe in the first quarter of 2005.
Results of Operations by Business Segment
      Exelon evaluates its performance on a business segment basis. The comparisons of operating results and other statistical information for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 set forth below reflect intercompany transactions, which are eliminated in Exelon’s consolidated financial statements.
      Exelon sold or wound down substantially all components of Enterprises in 2004 and 2003. As a result, as of January 1, 2005, Enterprises is no longer reported as a segment and is included in the “other” category within the results of operations by business segment tables below. Segment information presented below for 2004 has been adjusted to present it on a comparable basis with 2005.

      Net Income. Energy Delivery’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 decreased significantly as a result of higher purchased power prices effective January 1, 2005 at ComEd associated with its PPA with Generation, partially offset by higher revenues at ComEd due to favorable weather, lower interest expense at ComEd and PECO, and lower operating and maintenance expense at ComEd and PECO, primarily due to decreased severance and pension expense.

      Customer Choice. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, 27% and 28% of energy delivered to Energy Delivery’s retail customers was provided by alternative electric suppliers or under the ComEd PPO.
      All ComEd and PECO customers have the choice to purchase energy from an alternative electric supplier. This choice generally does not impact the volume of deliveries, but affects revenue collected from customers related to supplied energy and generation service. In PECO’s case, operating income is not affected by customer choice since any increase or decrease in revenues is completely offset by any related increase or decrease in purchased power expense. As of June 30, 2005, no alternative electric supplier had approval from the ICC, and no electric utilities had chosen, to enter the ComEd residential market for the supply of electricity. In July 2005, one alternative supplier was approved to serve residential customers in Illinois.

     For ComEd, the increase in revenues was primarily from a decrease in non-residential customers in Illinois electing to purchase energy from alternative electric suppliers or the PPO. This decrease relates to the continued increase in the energy market price for electricity. The increase in electric retail revenue associated with customer choice at PECO primarily relates to a significant number of residential customers returning to PECO as their energy provider in December 2004. This action followed the assignment of approximately

194,000 residential customers to alternative electric suppliers for a one-year term beginning in December 2003, as required by the PAPUC and PECO’s final electric restructuring order.
      Weather. The demand for electricity and gas is affected by weather conditions. With respect to the electric business, very warm weather in summer months and, with respect to the electric and gas businesses, very cold weather in other months are referred to as “favorable weather conditions” because these weather conditions result in increased sales of electricity and gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand. Energy Delivery’s electric and gas revenues were positively affected by favorable weather conditions at ComEd in 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. In the ComEd service territory, cooling and heating degree days were 69% higher and 4% lower, respectively, than the prior year. In the PECO service territory, cooling and heating degree days were 21% lower and 2% higher, respectively, than the prior year.
      Rate Changes and Mix. With respect to ComEd, the increased wholesale market price of electricity and other adjustments to the energy component of its CTC calculation decreased the collection of CTC by $24 million in 2005 as compared to 2004. Also contributing to the decrease was lower average rates paid by residential and large commercial and industrial customers totaling $7 million. The lower average residential rates relate to the volume discounts associated with the increased usage year over year due to favorable weather. This decrease was partially offset by increased wholesale market prices which increased energy revenue received under the ComEd PPO and by increased average rates paid by small commercial and industrial customers totaling $5 million. As a result of increasing mitigation factors, changes in energy prices and the ability of certain customers to establish fixed, multi-year CTC rates, ComEd anticipates that CTC revenues will range from $90 million to $110 million annually in 2005 and 2006, compared to annual CTC revenues of $169 million in 2004. Under current Illinois law, no CTCs will be collected after 2006.
      The increase in PECO’s electric revenues attributable to rate changes and mix resulted from changes in usage patterns in all customer classes.
      The increase in PECO’s gas revenues was due to increases in rates through PAPUC-approved changes to the purchased gas adjustment clause that became effective March 1, 2004, March 1, 2005 and June 1, 2005. While PECO’s purchased gas cost rates were reduced slightly, effective December 1, 2004, the average purchased gas cost rate per million cubic feet in effect for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 7% higher than the average rate for the same period in 2004.
      Volume. The increase in ComEd’s electric revenues from volume was primarily as a result of decreased sales in the residential and small commercial industrial customer classes, primarily offset by increases in large commercial and industrial customers. The increase in PECO’s electric revenues was primarily as a result of higher delivery volume, exclusive of the effects of weather and customer choice, due to an increased number of customers and increased usage per customer. The decrease in PECO’s gas revenues attributable to volume, exclusive of the effects of weather, was due to decreased customer usage.
      PJM Transmission. ComEd’s transmission revenues and purchased power expense each increased by $60 million due to ComEd’s May 1, 2004 entry into PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM).
      T&O/ SECA Rates. Revenues decreased $25 million at ComEd as a result of the elimination of T&O rates in accordance with FERC orders that became effective December 1, 2004. Effective December 1, 2004, PJM became obligated to pay SECA collections to ComEd and PECO, and ComEd and PECO became obligated to pay SECA charges — see “Purchased Power and Fuel Expense” below. The elimination of T&O revenues and inclusion of SECA revenues had a minimal impact on PECO as T&O revenues recognized in the past were not material and SECA revenues currently being recognized also are not material. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on T&O/ SECA rates.
      Other Wholesale and Miscellaneous Revenues. PECO’s gas revenues decreased $17 million due to decreased off-system sales.

      Prices. ComEd’s purchased power expense increased $446 million due to higher prices associated with its PPA with Generation. As a result of the Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement as of April 30, 2004 with Generation, starting in January 1, 2005, ComEd began paying higher prices for its purchased power from Generation and ceased to procure its ancillary services from Generation. This agreement fixed the pricing for purchased power through December 31, 2006 based upon the current market prices as of April 30, 2004. In 2000, ComEd and Generation entered into a PPA that fixed the pricing for purchased power through December 31, 2004 based upon the then current market prices. PECO’s purchased power expense increased due to a change in the mix of average pricing related to its PPA with Generation. Fuel expense for gas increased due to higher gas prices. See “Operating Revenues” above.
      Customer Choice. The increase in purchased power expense from customer choice was primarily due to fewer ComEd non-residential customers electing to purchase energy from an alternative electric supplier and a significant number of residential customers returning to PECO as their energy provider in December 2004.
      PJM Transmission. ComEd’s transmission revenues and purchased power expense each increased by $60 million due to its May 1, 2004 entry into PJM.
      Weather. Energy Delivery’s increase in purchased power and fuel expense from weather was primarily due to favorable weather conditions in ComEd’s service territory.
      PJM Administrative Fees. ComEd began paying PJM administrative fees upon its full integration into PJM on May 1, 2004. The increase reflects the impact of six months of expense in 2005 compared to two months of expense in 2004.
      T&O/ SECA Rates. Prior to the FERC orders issued in November 2004, ComEd collected T&O rates for transmission service scheduled out of or across ComEd’s transmission system. Rates collected as the transmission owner were recorded in operating revenues. After joining PJM on May 1, 2004, PJM allocated T&O collections to ComEd as a load-serving entity. The collections received as a load-serving entity were recorded as a decrease to purchased power expense.
      Effective December 1, 2004, PJM became obligated to pay SECA collections to ComEd and PECO, and ComEd and PECO became obligated to pay SECA charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, ComEd recorded SECA collections net of SECA charges of $17 million, and PECO recorded SECA charges of $4 million. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on T&O / SECA rates.
      Volume. The increase in ComEd’s purchased power and fuel expense attributable to volume, exclusive of the effects of weather and customer choice, was due to increases in the number of customers and average usage per customer, generally in the commercial and industrial customer classes. The decrease in PECO’s gas

fuel expense from lower delivery volume, exclusive of the effects of weather, was due to decreased customer usage.
      Operating and Maintenance Expense. The changes in operating and maintenance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:
                         
            Total
            Increase
    ComEd   PECO   (Decrease)
             
Severance-related expenses
  $ (14 )   $ (9 )   $ (23 )

Decrease in operating and maintenance expense
  $ (34 )   $ (13 )   $ (47 )
                   
 
(a) Pension expense in 2005 is expected to be lower than in 2004 due in large part to significant pension plan contributions made in the first quarter of 2005. See Note 9 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
 
(b) The decrease at PECO is primarily due to the enforcement of stricter collection standards beginning in early 2005 as allowed by recent legislation in Pennsylvania.
 
(c) Excludes severance-related expenses and pension expense. Reflects fewer employees compared to prior year and an adjustment in 2005 related to medical plan fees.
 
(d) Increase was primarily due to increases in vegetation management services compared to the prior year at ComEd and PECO and consulting services at ComEd related to various regulatory proceedings. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the regulatory proceedings.
 
(e) See Note 13 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
     Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The changes in depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:
                         
            Total
            Increase
    ComEd   PECO   (Decrease)
             
Recoverable transition costs/ CTC amortization
  $ (7 )   $ 19     $ 12  
Depreciation expense
    8       1       9  
Accelerated amortization of PECO billing system
          6       6  
Other amortization expense
    (8 )     (3 )     (11 )
                   
Increase (decrease) in depreciation and amortization expense
  $ (7 )   $ 23     $ 16  
                   
      ComEd anticipates amortizing on an annual basis approximately $43 million of transition costs in 2005 and 2006, which is consistent with the amount amortized for 2004. The quarterly amount of this amortization during the year is dependent on the projected operations margin by quarter, which can result in fluctuations compared to prior periods. ComEd expects to fully recover its remaining recoverable transition costs regulatory asset balance of $72 million by the end of 2006. Consistent with the provision of the Illinois legislation, regulatory assets may be recovered at amounts that provide ComEd an earned return on common equity within the Illinois legislation earnings threshold.
      The additional amortization of the CTC is in accordance with PECO’s original settlement under the Pennsylvania Competition Act.
      The increase in depreciation expense is primarily due to capital additions at ComEd.

      In January 2005, as part of a broader Energy Delivery systems strategy associated with the pending merger with PSE&G, Exelon’s Board of Directors approved the implementation of a new customer information and billing system at PECO. The approval of this new system resulted in the accelerated depreciation of PECO’s current system, which is expected to result in additional annual depreciation expense in 2005 and 2006 of $15 million and $10 million, respectively, relative to 2004 levels. If additional system changes are approved, additional accelerated depreciation may be required.
      The decrease in other amortization expense at ComEd was due to a $10 million decrease resulting from completing the amortization of one of its software packages in 2004.
      Taxes Other Than Income. The changes in taxes other than income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:
                         
            Total
            Increase
    ComEd   PECO   (Decrease)
             
Reduction in real estate tax accrual in 2005(a)

    (3 )     (2 )     (5 )
                   
Decrease in taxes other than income
  $     $ (3 )   $ (3 )
                   
 
(a) Represents a $6 million reduction of a real estate tax accrual in March 2005 following settlements between PECO and various taxing authorities related to prior year tax assessments. See Note 13 of the Combined Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.
 
(b) As these taxes are collected from customers and remitted to the taxing authorities and included in revenues and expenses, the increase in taxes expense was offset by a corresponding increase in revenues.
     Interest Expense. The reduction in interest expense at ComEd and PECO of $51 million and $11 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 was primarily due to long-term debt retirements and prepayments in 2004 at ComEd pursuant to Exelon’s accelerated liability management plan and payments on long-term debt owed to ComEd Transitional Funding Trust and PETT.
      Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Affiliates. The decrease in equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates was a result of a decrease in interest expense of the deconsolidated financing trusts of ComEd and PECO due to scheduled repayments of outstanding long-term debt.
      Other, Net. The changes in other, net for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:
                         
            Total
            Increase
    ComEd   PECO   (Decrease)
             
Interest income on long-term receivable from UII, LLC(a)

Increase (decrease) in other, net
  $ (4 )   $ 4     $  
                   
 
(a) The decrease in interest income on the long-term receivable from UII, LLC resulted from this receivable being repaid near the end of 2004.
     Income Taxes. ComEd’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 40% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details of the components of the effective income tax rates.

      Trading volumes of 11,411 GWhs and 10,437 GWhs for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are not included in the table above.
      Electric Sales to Affiliates. The increase in revenue from sales to affiliates was primarily due to higher prices associated with Generation’s PPA with ComEd. As a result of the Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement as of April 30, 2004 with ComEd, effective January 1, 2005, Generation began receiving higher prices from ComEd for its purchased power. The remaining increase was due to an increase in sales to Energy Delivery due to customers returning from alternative electric suppliers and increased volumes due to favorable weather conditions in ComEd’s service territory.
      Wholesale and Retail Electric Sales. The changes in Generation’s wholesale and retail electric sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:
         
    Increase
    (Decrease)
     
Sale of Boston Generating(a)

Volume
    (226 )

    8  
       
Decrease in wholesale and retail electric sales
  $ (299 )
       
 
(a) Sales of Boston Generating of $9 million were included in other revenues for 2004.
     Due to the sale of Boston Generating in May 2004, wholesale and retail sales decreased $239 million. The remaining decrease in wholesale and retail sales was primarily due to lower volumes sold to the market during the second quarter of 2005, although the power was sold at overall higher prices. Generation had less power to

108


Table of Contents

sell into the market as a result of higher demand for power sold to affiliates, the expiration of its purchase power agreement with Midwest Generation in 2004 and lower nuclear and fossil generation.
      Retail Gas Sales. Retail gas sales increased primarily due to higher prices in the overall market.
      Other Revenues. The increase in other revenues of $10 million was primarily due to revenue from Generation’s operating agreement with a subsidiary of Tamuin International, Inc., formerly Sithe International, Inc. This revenue was substantially offset by a corresponding increase in Generation’s operating and maintenance expense.
      Purchased Power and Fuel Expense. Generation’s supply sources are summarized below:

Decrease in purchased power and fuel expense
  $ (310 )
       
      Boston Generating. The decrease in purchased power and fuel expense associated with Boston Generating was due to the sale of the business in May 2004.
      Economic Hedges. Mark-to-market gains on hedging activities were $41 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to losses of $17 million for the same period of 2004. Approximately $9 million of the mark-to-market gains on hedging activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are anticipated to reverse subsequent to 2005.
      Volume. Generation’s decrease in purchased power expense from reduced volume was primarily due to the expiration of its purchase power agreement with Midwest Generation.
      Price. The increase reflects overall higher market energy prices due to higher natural gas and oil prices during the first six months of 2005, which resulted in an increase in the average purchase power costs of approximately $5 per MWh for the period.
      Other. Other decreases in purchased power and fuel expense were primarily due to $48 million of lower transmission expense resulting from reduced inter-region transmission charges, primarily associated with ComEd’s integration into PJM during the second quarter of 2004.

(b) Average supply cost includes purchased power and fuel costs associated with electric sales. Average electric supply cost does not include purchased power and fuel costs associated with retail gas sales.
     Operating and Maintenance Expense. The changes in operating and maintenance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 consisted of the following:
         
    Increase
    (Decrease)
     
Boston Generating

    3  
       
Increase in operating and maintenance expense
  $ 19  
       
      The increase in operating and maintenance expense was primarily due to the $43 million liability recorded in June 2005 for estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims and operating and maintenance expense associated with Generation’s operating agreement with a subsidiary of Tamuin International, Inc., formerly Sithe International, Inc. The increase in operating and maintenance associated with Tamuin International, Inc. was substantially offset by the corresponding increase in Generation’s other revenues discussed above. Operating and maintenance expense associated with Boston Generating in the first six months of 2004 was $57 million. For further discussion of estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims see Note 13 of Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
      Nuclear fleet operating data and purchased power cost data for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

Table of Contents

capacity factor and the costs associated with the planned refuel outages resulted in a higher production cost per MWh for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. There were five planned refueling outages and fifteen other outages that began during the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to five planned refueling outages and twelve other outages that began during the same period in 2004
      In the six months ended June 30, 2005, one of the Quad Cities’ units returned to Extended Power Uprate (EPU) generation levels after extensive testing and load verification on its new steam dryer was completed. During the same period in 2004 both Quad Cities’ units operated intermittently at EPU generation levels due to performance issues with their steam dryers. The steam dryer in the other Quad Cities’ unit was also replaced in the six months ended June 30, 2005. That unit continues to operate at pre-Extended Power Uprate (EPU) generation levels pending completion of extensive testing and load verification in order to ensure safe and reliable operations at the EPU output levels.
      Depreciation and Amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 was primarily due to increased amortization expense related to Generation’s ARC asset associated with decommissioning and the depreciation expense of recent capital additions, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense due to the sale of Boston Generating in May 2004.
      Taxes Other Than Income. The decrease in taxes other than income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 was primarily due to the reduction of the real estate tax reserve associated with the settlement of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station real estate taxes and due to the sale of Boston Generating in May 2004.
      Other, Net. The decrease in other income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the $85 million gain ($52 million, net of taxes) on the disposal of Boston Generating recorded in 2004, partially offset by gains realized for the six months ended June 30, 2005 in the amount of $39 million related to the decommissioning trust fund investments for the AmerGen plants, primarily associated with changes in Generation’s investment strategy. Realized gains associated with the decommissioning trust fund investments for the former ComEd and PECO units were $16 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2005, primarily as a result of the changes in Generation’s investment strategy, however; as a result of the contractual construct, the gains on the investments associated with the former ComEd and PECO units are offset within other, net and have no impact on net income. Refer to Notes 14 and 16 of Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full discussion of the accounting for nuclear decommissioning and nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments.
      Effective Income Tax Rate. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 38.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 38.3% for the same period in 2004. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the change in the effective income tax rate.
      Discontinued Operations. On January 31, 2005, subsidiaries of Generation completed a series of transactions that resulted in Generation’s sale of its investment in Sithe. In addition, Generation has sold or wound down substantially all components of AllEnergy, a business within Exelon Energy. Accordingly, the results of operations and the gain on the sale of Sithe have been presented as discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 within Generation’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Generation accounted for Sithe as an equity method investment during the first quarter of 2004, and Generation’s portion of Sithe’s results from operations is included in the equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates within Generation’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2004. See Notes 2 and 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the presentation of Sithe and AllEnergy as discontinued operations and the sale of Sithe.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
      Exelon’s businesses are capital intensive and require considerable capital resources. These capital resources are primarily provided by internally generated cash flows from operations. When necessary, Exelon obtains funds from external sources in the capital markets and through bank borrowings. Exelon’s access to external financing on reasonable terms depends on Exelon and its subsidiaries’ credit ratings and general business conditions, as well as that of the utility industry in general. If these conditions deteriorate to the extent that Exelon no longer has access to the capital markets at reasonable terms, Exelon has access to revolving credit facilities with aggregate bank commitments of $1.5 billion that it currently utilizes to support its commercial paper programs. See the “Credit Matters” section of “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion.
      Exelon primarily uses its capital resources, including cash, to fund capital requirements, including construction expenditures, retire debt, pay common stock dividends, fund its pension obligations and invest in new and existing ventures. Exelon spends a significant amount of cash on construction projects that have a long-term return on investment. Additionally, ComEd and PECO operate in a rate-regulated environment in which the amount of new investment recovery may be limited and where such recovery takes place over an extended period of time. As a result of these factors, Exelon has historically operated with a working capital deficit. However, Exelon expects operating cash flows to be sufficient to meet operating and capital expenditure requirements. Future acquisitions that Exelon may undertake, other than the proposed merger with PSEG which will require the issuance of Exelon common stock in exchange for PSEG common stock, may require external debt financing or the issuance of additional Exelon common stock.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
      ComEd’s and PECO’s cash flows from operating activities primarily result from sales of electricity and gas to a stable and diverse base of retail customers at fixed prices and are weighted toward the third quarter of each fiscal year. ComEd’s and PECO’s future cash flows will be affected by the economy, weather, customer choice and future regulatory proceedings on their revenues and their ability to achieve operating cost reductions. See Note 5 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of regulatory proceedings. Generation’s cash flows from operating activities primarily result from the sale of electric energy to wholesale customers, including ComEd and PECO. Generation’s future cash flows from operating activities will be affected by future demand for and market prices of energy and its ability to continue to produce and supply power at competitive costs.
      Cash flows from operations have been, and are expected to continue to provide, a reliable, steady source of cash flow, sufficient to meet operating and capital expenditures requirements for the foreseeable future. Taking into account the factors noted above, Exelon also obtains cash from non-operating sources such as the proceeds from the debt issuance in 2005 to fund Exelon’s $2 billion pension contribution (see Note 7 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Operating cash flows after 2006 could be negatively affected by changes in the rate regulatory environments of ComEd and PECO, although any effects are not expected to hinder the ability to fund their business requirements. See “Business Outlook and the Challenges in Managing the Business” within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the regulatory transition periods.
      Additionally, Exelon, through ComEd, has taken certain tax positions, which have been disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), to defer the tax gain on the 1999 sale of its fossil generating assets. See Note 10 of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these tax positions.

(a) Represents depreciation, amortization and accretion, deferred income taxes, cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, impairment of investments and long-lived assets and other non-cash charges.
 
(b) Changes in working capital and other noncurrent assets and liabilities exclude the changes in commercial paper, income taxes and the current portion of long-term debt.
     The reduction of cash flows from operations during the current year is primarily the result of $2 billion of discretionary contributions to Exelon’s pension plans during the first quarter of 2005, which was initially funded through a term loan agreement, as further described in the “Cash Flows from Financing Activities” section below. Of the total contribution, ComEd, PECO and Generation contributed $803 million, $109 million and $844 million, respectively. The ComEd and PECO contributions were fully funded by capital contributions from Exelon. The Generation contribution was primarily funded by capital contributions from Exelon and included $2 million from internally generated funds. Exelon did not contribute to its pension plans in the second quarter of 2005 and does not anticipate making any additional contributions in the remainder of 2005.
      Cash flows provided by (used in) operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 by registrant were as follows:
                 
    Six Months

      Excluding the March 2005 discretionary pension contributions discussed above, changes in Exelon’s, ComEd’s, PECO’s and Generation’s cash flows from operations were generally consistent with changes in its results of operations, as adjusted by changes in working capital in the normal course of business.
      In addition to the items mentioned in “Results of Operations” and the discretionary pension contributions discussed above, significant non-recurring operating cash flows for Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:
Exelon
  •  In January 2005, Exelon received a $102 million Federal income tax refund for capital losses generated in 2003 related to its investment in Sithe, which were carried back to prior periods.

     Proposed capital expenditures and other investments for Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation are subject to periodic review and revision to reflect changes in economic conditions and other factors.
      ComEd and PECO. Approximately 50% of the projected 2005 capital expenditures at both ComEd and PECO are for continuing efforts to improve the reliability of its transmission and distribution systems. The remaining amount is for capital additions to support new business and customer growth. Exelon is continuing to evaluate its total capital spending requirements. Exelon anticipates that ComEd and PECO’s capital expenditures will be funded by internally generated funds, borrowings and the issuance of debt or preferred securities or capital contributions from Exelon.
      Generation. Generation’s capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2005 reflect additions and upgrades to existing facilities (including material condition improvements during nuclear refueling outages) and nuclear fuel. Exelon anticipates that Generation’s capital expenditures will be funded by internally generated funds, borrowings or capital contributions from Exelon.
      Other significant investing activities for Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:
Exelon
  •  Exelon contributed $56 million and $16 million to its investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
      Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were:

      On March 7, 2005, Exelon entered into a $2 billion term loan agreement. The loan proceeds were used to fund discretionary contributions of $2 billion to Exelon’s pension plans, including contributions of $803 million, $109 million and $842 million by ComEd, PECO and Generation, respectively. To facilitate the contributions by ComEd, PECO and Generation, Exelon contributed the corresponding amounts to the capital of each company. On April 1, 2005, Exelon entered into a $500 million term loan agreement that was subsequently fully borrowed to reduce this $2 billion term loan. During the second quarter of 2005, $200 million of this $500 million term loan as well as the remaining $1.5 billion balance on the $2 billion term loan described above were repaid with the net proceeds received from the issuance of the long-term senior notes discussed below. The $300 million outstanding balance under the term loan agreement bears interest at a variable rate determined, at Exelon’s option, by either the Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the term loan agreement) and is due in full on December 1, 2005.
      On June 9, 2005, Exelon issued and sold $1.7 billion of senior debt securities pursuant to its senior debt indenture, dated as of May 1, 2001, consisting of $400 million of 4.45% senior notes due 2010, $800 million of 4.90% senior notes due 2015 and $500 million of 5.625% senior notes due 2035. The net proceeds from the sale of the notes were used to repay the $1.5 billion in remaining principal due on the $2 billion term loan agreement and $200 million of the $500 million term loan agreement referenced above. Exelon may redeem some or all of the notes at any time prior to maturity at a specified redemption price. The notes are unsecured and rank equally with the other senior unsecured indebtedness of Exelon. Additionally, Exelon settled interest rate swaps for a net payment of $38 million and paid approximately $12 million of fees in connection with the debt offering. See Note 7 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
      From time to time and as market conditions warrant, Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation may engage in long-term debt retirements via tender offers, open market repurchases or other viable options to strengthen their respective balance sheets.
      Cash dividend payments and distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

      Intercompany Money Pool (Generation). Generation’s net borrowings from the Exelon intercompany money pool decreased $283 million and $218 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Credit Matters
      Exelon Credit Facility. Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation meet their short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper. At June 30, 2005, Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation participated with a group of banks in a $1 billion unsecured revolving facility maturing on July 16, 2009, and a $500 million unsecured revolving facility maturing on October 31, 2006. Both revolving credit agreements are used principally to support the commercial paper programs at Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation and to issue letters of credit.
      At June 30, 2005, Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation had the following sublimits and available capacity under the credit agreements and the indicated amounts of outstanding commercial paper:
                         
            Outstanding
    Bank   Available   Commercial
Borrower   Sublimit(a)   Capacity(b)   Paper
             
Exelon Corporate
  $ 700     $ 700     $ 329  
ComEd
    50       23        
PECO
    300       300        
Generation
    450       388        
 
(a) Sublimits under the credit agreements can change upon written notification to the bank group.
 
(b) Available capacity represents primarily the bank sublimit net of outstanding letters of credit. The amount of commercial paper outstanding does not reduce the available capacity under the credit agreements.
     Interest rates on the advances under the credit agreements are based on either the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus an adder based on the credit rating of the borrower as well as the total outstanding amounts under the agreements at the time of borrowing or prime. The maximum LIBOR adder would be 170 basis points. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, Exelon’s average interest rate on notes payable was approximately 2.80%.
      The credit agreements require Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation to maintain a minimum cash from operations to interest expense ratio for the twelve-month period ended on the last day of any quarter. The ratios exclude revenues and interest expenses attributable to securitization debt, certain changes in working capital, distributions on preferred securities of subsidiaries and, in the case of Exelon and Generation, revenues from Exelon New England Holding Company, LLC (Exelon New England) and Sithe and interest on the debt of their project subsidiaries. The following table summarizes the minimum thresholds reflected in the credit agreements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005:
                                 
    Exelon   ComEd   PECO   Generation
                 
Credit agreement threshold
    2.65 to 1       2.25 to 1       2.25 to 1       3.25 to 1  
      At June 30, 2005, each of Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation were in compliance with the foregoing thresholds.

      Capital Structure. At June 30, 2005, the capital structures of Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation consisted of the following:
                                 
    Exelon            
    Consolidated   ComEd   PECO(a)   Generation
                 
Long-term debt

Preferred securities
                2        
Notes payable
    3                    
Minority interest
                       
 
(a) As of June 30, 2005, PECO’s capital structure, excluding the deduction from shareholders’ equity of the $1.3 billion receivable from Exelon (which amount is deducted for GAAP purposes as reflected in the table, but is excluded from the percentages in this footnote), consisted of 37% common equity, 1% preferred securities and 62% long-term debt, including long-term debt to unconsolidated affiliates.
 
(b) Includes $5 billion, $2 billion and $3 billion owed to unconsolidated affiliates of Exelon, ComEd and PECO, respectively, that qualify as special purpose entities under FIN 46-R. These special purpose entities were created for the sole purpose of issuing debt obligations to securitize intangible transition property and CTCs of Energy Delivery or mandatorily redeemable preferred securities. See Note 1 of the Exelon’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding FIN 46-R.
     Intercompany Money Pool. Exelon operates an intercompany money pool to provide an additional short-term borrowing option that will generally be more favorable to the borrowing participants than the cost of external financing. Participation in the money pool is subject to authorization by the corporate treasurer. ComEd and its subsidiary, Commonwealth Edison Company of Indiana, Inc. (ComEd of Indiana), PECO, Generation and BSC may participate in the money pool as lenders and borrowers, and Exelon and UII, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon, may participate as lenders. Funding of, and borrowings from, the money pool are predicated on whether the contributions and borrowings result in economic benefits. Interest on borrowings is based on short-term market rates of interest or, if from an external source, specific borrowing rates. Maximum amounts contributed to and borrowed from the money pool by participant during the six months ended June 30, 2005 are described in the following table in addition to the net contribution or borrowing as of June 30, 2005:

      Sithe Long-Term Debt. Debt totaling approximately $820 million was eliminated from the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Exelon and Generation as a result of the sale of Sithe on January 31, 2005. See Note 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the sale of Sithe.
      Security Ratings. Access to the capital markets by Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation, including the commercial paper market, and its financing costs in those markets depend on the securities ratings of the entity that is accessing the capital markets. The securities ratings of Exelon, ComEd, PECO or Generation have not changed from those set forth in Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. None of Exelon’s, ComEd’s, PECO’s or Generation’s borrowings is subject to default or prepayment as a result of a downgrading of securities although such a downgrading could increase fees and interest charges under Exelon’s credit agreements.
      Shelf Registration. As of June 30, 2005, Exelon, ComEd and PECO have current effective shelf registration statements for the sale of $300 million, $555 million and $550 million of securities, respectively. The ability of Exelon, ComEd or PECO to sell securities off its shelf registration statement or to access the private placement markets will depend on a number of factors at the time of the proposed sale, including other required regulatory approvals, the current financial condition of the company, its securities ratings and market conditions.
      Fund Transfer Restrictions. Exelon has obtained an order from the SEC under the Public Utilities Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA) authorizing, through April 15, 2007, financing transactions, including the issuance of common stock, preferred securities, equity-linked securities, long-term debt and short-term debt in an aggregate amount not to exceed $8.0 billion above the amount outstanding for Exelon and Generation at December 31, 2003. Securities of $1.2 billion above the amount outstanding at December 31, 2003 have been issued under the above-described order. Exelon is also authorized to issue guarantees, letters of credit, or otherwise provide credit support with respect to the obligations of its subsidiaries and non-affiliated third parties in the normal course of business of up to $6.0 billion outstanding at any one time. At June 30, 2005, Exelon had provided $1.5 billion of guarantees and letters of credit under the SEC order. See “Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in this section for further discussion of guarantees. The SEC order requires Exelon to maintain a ratio of common equity to total capitalization (including securitization debt) of not less than 30%. At June 30, 2005, Exelon’s common equity ratio was 41%. Exelon expects that it will maintain a common equity ratio of at least 30%.
      Exelon is also limited by the SEC order to an aggregate investment of $4.0 billion in exempt wholesale generators (EWGs) and foreign utility companies (FUCOs). At June 30, 2005, Exelon had invested $1.4 billion in EWGs, leaving $2.6 billion of investment authority under the order. In its order, the SEC reserved jurisdiction over an additional $3.0 billion in investments in EWGs.
      On July 1, 2005, Exelon obtained a new investment order from the SEC under PUHCA authorizing, through June 30, 2008, development activities, the formation of new intermediate subsidiaries for internal corporate structuring, internal corporate reorganizations, and the investment in certain non-U.S. energy-related subsidiaries. The new order replaced a prior SEC order that expired on June 30, 2005.

Table of Contents

      Under PUHCA, Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation can pay dividends only from retained, undistributed or current earnings. A significant loss recorded at ComEd, PECO or Generation may limit the dividends that these companies can distribute to Exelon. At June 30, 2005, Exelon had retained earnings of $3.9 billion, including ComEd’s retained earnings of $1.0 billion (all of which had been appropriated for future dividend payments), PECO’s retained earnings of $613 million and Generation’s undistributed earnings of $1.1 billion.
      Exelon’s, ComEd’s, PECO’s and Generation’s additional fund transfer restrictions as of June 30, 2005 were materially unchanged from the discussion within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Obligations
      Contractual obligations represent cash obligations that are considered to be firm commitments and commercial commitments represent commitments triggered by future events. Exelon’s, ComEd’s, PECO’s and Generation’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of June 30, 2005 were materially unchanged, other than in the normal course of business, from the amounts set forth in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K except for the following:
Exelon
  •  Interest payments of $71 million, $132 million, $115 million and $849 million for payments due in 2005, 2006-2007, 2008-2009 and 2010 and beyond, respectively were eliminated due to the sale of Sithe on January 31, 2005. See Note 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the sale of Generation’s investment in Sithe.
 
  •  Letters of credit decreased $108 million, primarily as a result of the sale of Sithe. See Note 4 of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Guarantees decreased $174 million, primarily as a result of the wind-down of Enterprises’ operations.
ComEd and PECO
  •  IRS Refund Claims. ComEd and PECO have several pending tax refund claims seeking acceleration of certain tax deductions and additional tax credits. ComEd and PECO are unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of these refund claims and will account for any amounts received in the period the matters are settled with the IRS.
 
     ComEd and PECO had entered into several agreements with a tax consultant related to the filing of these refund claims with the IRS. ComEd and PECO previously made refundable prepayments to the tax consultants of $11 million and $5 million, respectively. The fees for these agreements are contingent upon a successful outcome of the claims and are based upon a percentage of the refunds recovered from the IRS, if any. These potential tax benefits and associated fees could be material to the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of ComEd and PECO. A portion of ComEd’s tax benefits, including any associated interest for periods prior to the merger among PECO, Unicom Corporation (Unicom), the former parent company of ComEd, and Exelon (PECO/ Unicom Merger) would be recorded as a reduction of goodwill pursuant to a reallocation of the PECO/ Unicom Merger purchase price. ComEd and PECO cannot predict the timing of the final resolution of these refund claims.
 
     In 2004, the IRS granted preliminary approval for one of ComEd’s refund claims and final approval was obtained in the first quarter of 2005. The investment tax credit refund and associated interest have been recorded in the financial statements. Approximately $14 million of tax and interest benefit received in the second quarter of 2005 has been reflected in the financial statements of which $12 million ($9 million after-tax) was recorded to goodwill under the provisions of EITF Issue 93-7,

  “Uncertainties Related to Income Taxes in a Purchase Business Combination.” As a result, ComEd recorded consulting expenses of $5 million (pre-tax) in 2004.
 
     Based on recent negotiations with the IRS, PECO believes it will receive a refund related to one of its claims. As of June 30, 2005, PECO had not reflected the tax benefit associated with the refund claim pending final approval of the IRS. During 2005, PECO recorded total consulting expenses of $6 million (pre-tax).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
      ComEd’s business is capital intensive and requires considerable capital resources. ComEd’s capital resources are primarily provided by internally generated cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, external financing, including the issuance of commercial paper, participation in the intercompany money pool or capital contributions from Exelon. ComEd’s access to external financing at reasonable terms is dependent on its credit ratings and general business conditions, as well as that of the utility industry in general. If these conditions deteriorate to where ComEd no longer has access to the capital markets at reasonable terms, ComEd has access to a revolving credit facility that ComEd currently utilizes to support its commercial paper program. See the “Credit Matters” section of “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion.
      Capital resources are used primarily to fund ComEd’s capital requirements, including construction, retirement of debt, the payment of dividends and contributions to Exelon’s pension plans.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
      Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation are exposed to market risks associated with credit and interest rates. Exelon and Generation are also exposed to market risks associated with commodity and equity prices. The inherent risk of market-sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, counterparty credit, interest rates and equity security prices. Exelon’s Risk Management Committee (RMC) sets forth risk management policies and objectives and establishes procedures for risk assessment, control and valuation, counterparty credit approval and the monitoring and reporting of derivative activity and risk exposures. The RMC is chaired by the chief risk officer and includes the chief financial officer, general counsel, treasurer, corporate controller, vice president of corporate planning, vice president of strategy, vice president of audit services and officers from each of Exelon’s business units. The RMC reports to the Exelon Board of Directors on the scope of the derivative and risk management activities.
Commodity Price Risk (Exelon and Generation)
      Commodity price risk is associated with market price movements resulting from excess or insufficient generation, changes in fuel costs, market liquidity and other factors. Trading activities and non-trading marketing activities include the purchase and sale of electric capacity, energy and fossil fuels, including oil, gas, coal and emission allowances. The availability and prices of energy and energy-related commodities are subject to fluctuations due to factors such as weather, governmental environmental policies, changes in supply and demand, state and Federal regulatory policies and other events. Additionally, ComEd has exposure to commodity price risk in relation to CTC revenues collected from its customers.
      In connection with the 2001 corporate restructuring, Generation entered into a PPA, as amended, with ComEd under which Generation has agreed to supply all of ComEd’s load obligations through 2006. At times, ComEd’s load obligations are greater than the capacity of Generation’s owned generating units in the ComEd region. As such, Generation procures power through purchase power and lease agreements and has contracted for access to additional generation through bilateral long-term PPAs. In 2004, Generation retained 3,858 MWs of capacity under the terms of three then-existing PPAs with Midwest Generation, LLC (Midwest Generation). Generation’s contract to purchase power from Midwest Generation expired at the end of 2004. In 2005 and 2006, Generation will be required to procure the necessary power for ComEd through market purchases and other means to the extent not provided by Generation’s own generating facilities. As a result, Generation’s exposure to market price movements in the ComEd region has increased in 2005 compared to prior years due to the expiration of the Midwest Generation contract.
Generation
      Normal Operations and Hedging Activities. Electricity available from Generation’s owned or contracted generation supply in excess of Generation’s obligations to customers, including Energy Delivery’s retail load, is sold into the wholesale markets. To reduce price risk caused by market fluctuations, Generation enters into physical contracts as well as derivative contracts, including forwards, futures, swaps, and options, with approved counterparties to hedge anticipated exposures. The maximum length of time over which cash flows related to energy commodities are currently being cash-flow hedged is three years. Generation has an estimated 93% hedge ratio in 2005 for its energy marketing portfolio. This hedge ratio represents the percentage of its forecasted aggregate annual economic generation supply that is committed to firm sales, including sales to Energy Delivery’s retail load. Energy Delivery’s retail load assumptions are based on forecasted average demand. The hedge ratio is not fixed and will vary from time to time depending upon market conditions, demand, energy market option volatility and actual loads. During peak periods, Generation’s amount hedged declines to meet its commitment to Energy Delivery. Market price risk exposure is the risk of a change in the value of unhedged positions. Absent any efforts to mitigate market price exposure, the estimated market price exposure for Generation’s unhedged non-trading portfolio associated with a ten percent reduction in the annual average around-the-clock market price of electricity is approximately a $20 million decrease in net income. This sensitivity assumes a 93% hedge ratio and that price changes occur evenly throughout the year and across all markets. The sensitivity also assumes a static portfolio. Generation

expects to actively manage its portfolio to mitigate market price exposure. Actual results could differ depending on the specific timing of, and markets affected by, price changes, as well as future changes in Generation’s portfolio.
      Proprietary Trading Activities. Generation began to use financial contracts for proprietary trading purposes in the second quarter of 2001. Proprietary trading includes all contracts entered into purely to profit from market price changes as opposed to hedging an exposure. These activities are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. The proprietary trading activities are a complement to Generation’s energy marketing portfolio but represent a very small portion of Generation’s overall energy marketing activities. For example, the limit on open positions in electricity for any forward month represents less than one percent of Generation’s owned and contracted supply of electricity. Generation expects this level of proprietary trading activity to continue in the future. Trading portfolio activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 resulted in a gain of $3 million and $9 million, respectively (before income taxes), which represented an unrealized mark-to-market gain of $4 million and realized loss of $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and an unrealized mark-to-market gain of $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Generation uses a 95% confidence interval, one day holding period, one-tailed statistical measure in calculating its Value-at-Risk (VaR). The daily VaR on proprietary trading activity averaged $90,000 of exposure over the last 18 months. Because of the relative size of the proprietary trading portfolio in comparison to Generation’s total gross margin from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $2,372 million, Generation has not segregated proprietary trading activity in the following tables. The trading portfolio is subject to a risk management policy that includes stringent risk management limits, including volume, stop-loss and value-at-risk limits to manage exposure to market risk. Additionally, the Exelon risk management group and Exelon’s RMC monitor the financial risks of the proprietary trading activities.
      Generation’s energy contracts are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” (SFAS No. 133). Non-trading contracts qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales exemption to SFAS No. 133, which is discussed in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Energy contracts that do not qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales exception are recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of qualifying hedge contracts are recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI), and gains and losses are recognized in earnings when the underlying transaction occurs. Changes in the derivatives recorded at fair value are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met and they are designated as cash-flow hedges, in which case those changes are recorded in OCI, and gains and losses are recognized in earnings when the underlying transaction occurs. Changes in the fair value of derivative contracts that do not meet the hedge criteria under SFAS No. 133 or are not designated as such are recognized in current earnings.
      The following detailed presentation of Generation’s trading and non-trading marketing activities at Generation is included to address the recommended disclosures by the energy industry’s Committee of Chief Risk Officers.

      The majority of Generation’s contracts are non-exchange-traded contracts valued using prices provided by external sources, primarily price quotations available through brokers or over-the-counter, on-line exchanges. Prices reflect the average of the bid-ask mid-point prices obtained from all sources that Generation believes provide the most liquid market for the commodity. The terms for which such price information is available vary by commodity, region and product. The remainder of the assets represents contracts for which external valuations are not available, primarily option contracts. These contracts are valued using the Black model, an industry standard option valuation model. The fair values in each category reflect the level of forward prices and volatility factors as of June 30, 2005 that may change as a result of changes in these factors. Management uses its best estimates to determine the fair value of commodity and derivative contracts it holds and sells. These estimates consider various factors including closing exchange and over-the-counter price quotations, time value, volatility factors and credit exposure. It is possible, however, that future market prices could vary from those used in recording assets and liabilities from energy marketing and trading activities and such variations could be material.

Table of Contents

      The following table, which presents maturity and source of fair value of mark-to-market energy contract net liabilities, provides two fundamental pieces of information. First, the table provides the source of fair value used in determining the carrying amount of Generation’s total mark-to-market asset or liability. Second, this table provides the maturity, by year, of Generation’s net assets/liabilities, giving an indication of when these mark-to-market amounts will settle and either generate or require cash.

     The table below provides details of effective cash-flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 included in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2005. The data in the table give an indication of the magnitude of SFAS No. 133 hedges Generation has in place; however, because under SFAS No. 133 not all hedges are recorded in OCI, the table does not provide an all-encompassing picture of Generation’s derivatives. The table also includes a roll forward of accumulated OCI related to cash-flow hedges from January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2005, providing insight into the drivers of the changes (changes in the value of hedges and reclassification from accumulated OCI into earnings). Information related to energy merchant activities is presented separately from interest-rate hedging activities.

Credit Risk (Exelon and Generation)
Generation
      Generation has credit risk associated with counterparty performance on energy contracts which includes, but is not limited to, the risk of financial default or slow payment. Generation manages counterparty credit risk through established policies, including counterparty credit limits and, in some cases, requiring deposits and letters of credit to be posted by certain counterparties. Generation’s counterparty credit limits are based on a scoring model that considers a variety of factors, including leverage, liquidity, profitability, credit ratings and risk management capabilities. Generation has entered into payment netting agreements or enabling agreements that allow for payment netting with the majority of its large counterparties, which reduce Generation’s exposure to counterparty risk by providing for the offset of amounts payable to the counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty. The credit department monitors current and forward credit exposure to counterparties and their affiliates, both on an individual and an aggregate basis.
      The following tables provide information on Generation’s credit exposure, net of collateral, as of June 30, 2005. The tables further delineate that exposure by the credit rating of the counterparties and provide guidance on the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties and an indication of the maturity of a company’s credit risk by credit rating of the counterparties. The figures in the tables below do not include sales to Generation’s affiliates or exposure through Independent System Operators (ISOs) which are discussed below.

     Collateral. As part of the normal course of business, Generation routinely enters into physical or financially settled contracts for the purchase and sale of capacity, energy, fuels and emissions allowances. These contracts either contain express provisions or otherwise permit Generation and its counterparties to demand adequate assurance of future performance when there are reasonable grounds for doing so. In accordance with the contracts and applicable law, if Generation is downgraded by a credit rating agency,

134


Table of Contents

especially if such downgrade is to a level below investment grade, it is possible that a counterparty would attempt to rely on such a downgrade as a basis for making a demand for adequate assurance of future performance. Depending on Generation’s net position with a counterparty, the demand could be for the posting of collateral. In the absence of expressly agreed-to provisions that specify the collateral that must be provided, the obligation to supply the collateral requested will be a function of the facts and circumstances of the situation at the time of the demand. If Generation can reasonably claim that it is willing and financially able to perform its obligations, it may be possible to successfully argue that no collateral should be posted or that only an amount equal to two or three months of future payments should be sufficient.
      ISOs. Generation participates in the following established, real-time energy markets that are administered by ISOs: PJM, ISO New England, New York ISO, California ISO, MISO, Southwest Power Pool, Inc. and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. In these areas, power is traded through bilateral agreements between buyers and sellers and on the spot markets that are operated by the ISOs. In areas where there is no spot market, electricity is purchased and sold solely through bilateral agreements. For sales into the spot markets administered by the ISOs, the ISO maintains financial assurance policies that are established and enforced by those administrators. The credit policies of the ISOs may under certain circumstances require that losses arising from the default of one member on spot market transactions be shared by the remaining participants. Non-performance or non-payment by a major counterparty could result in a material adverse impact on Generation’s financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows.
Exelon
      Exelon’s consolidated balance sheets included a $496 million net investment in direct financing leases as of June 30, 2005. The investment in direct financing leases represents future minimum lease payments due at the end of the thirty-year lives of the leases of $1.5 billion, less unearned income of $996 million. The future minimum lease payments are supported by collateral and credit enhancement measures including letters of credit, surety bonds and credit swaps issued by high credit quality financial institutions. Management regularly evaluates the credit worthiness of Exelon’s counterparties to these direct financing leases.
Interest-Rate Risk (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and Generation)
Variable Rate Debt
      The Registrants use a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to reduce interest-rate exposure. The Registrants also use interest-rate swaps when deemed appropriate to adjust exposure based upon market conditions. Additionally, the Registrants use forward-starting interest-rate swaps and treasury rate locks to lock in interest-rate levels in anticipation of future financings. These strategies are employed to achieve a lower cost of capital. As of June 30, 2005, a hypothetical 10% increase in the interest rates associated with variable-rate debt would result in a $0.6 million decrease in Exelon’s pre-tax earnings. A hypothetical 10% increase in the interest rates associated with variable-rate debt would result in a decrease in pre-tax earnings of less than $1 million at ComEd, PECO and Generation.
Cash-Flow Hedges
ComEd
      In the first six months of 2005, ComEd entered into five forward-starting interest-rate swaps in the aggregate notional amount of $325 million to lock in interest-rate levels in anticipation of a future financing. These forward-starting interest-rate swaps, designated as cash-flow hedges, had an aggregate fair market value of $(35) million based on the present value difference between the contract and market rates at June 30, 2005. If these derivative instruments had been terminated at June 30, 2005, this estimated fair value represents the amount ComEd would pay the counterparties.
      The aggregate fair value of ComEd’s interest-rate swaps designated as cash-flow hedges that would have resulted from a hypothetical 50 basis point decrease in the spot yield at June 30, 2005 is estimated to be

135


Table of Contents

$65 million in the counterparties’ favor. If these derivative instruments had been terminated at June 30, 2005, this estimated fair value represents the amount ComEd would pay the counterparties.
      The aggregate fair value of ComEd’s interest-rate swaps designated as cash-flow hedges that would have resulted from a hypothetical 50 basis point increase in the spot yield at June 30, 2005 is estimated to be $8 million in the counterparties’ favor. If these derivative instruments had been terminated at June 30, 2005, this estimated fair value represents the amount ComEd would pay the counterparties.
PECO and Generation
      At June 30, 2005, PECO and Generation did not have any interest-rate swaps designated as cash-flow hedges.
Fair-Value Hedges
ComEd
      At June 30, 2005, ComEd had interest-rate swaps designated as fair-value hedges in the aggregate notional amount of $240 million. At June 30, 2005, these interest-rate swaps had an aggregate fair market value of $9 million based on the present value difference between the contract and market rates at June 30, 2005. If these derivative instruments had been terminated at June 30, 2005, this estimated fair value represents the amount counterparties would pay ComEd.
      The aggregate fair value of ComEd’s interest-rate swaps designated as fair-value hedges that would have resulted from a hypothetical 50 basis point decrease in the spot yield at June 30, 2005 is estimated to be $16 million in ComEd’s favor. If these derivative instruments had been terminated at June 30, 2005, this estimated fair value represents the amount counterparties would pay ComEd.
      The aggregate fair value of ComEd’s interest-rate swaps designated as fair-value hedges that would have resulted from a hypothetical 50 basis point increase in the spot yield at June 30, 2005 is estimated to be $2 million in ComEd’s favor. If these derivative instruments had been terminated at June 30, 2005, this estimated fair value represents the amount counterparties would pay ComEd.
PECO and Generation
      At June 30, 2005, PECO and Generation did not have any interest-rate swaps designated as fair-value hedges.
Equity Price Risk (Exelon and Generation)
      Generation maintains trust funds, as required by the NRC, to fund certain costs of decommissioning Generation’s nuclear plants. As of June 30, 2005, Generation’s decommissioning trust funds are reflected at fair value on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The mix of securities in the trust funds is designed to provide returns to be used to fund decommissioning and to compensate Generation for inflationary increases in decommissioning costs; however, the equity securities in the trust funds are exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets, and the value of fixed-rate, fixed-income securities are exposed to changes in interest rates. Generation actively monitors the investment performance of the trust funds and periodically reviews asset allocation in accordance with Generation’s nuclear decommissioning trust fund investment policy. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates and decrease in equity prices would result in a $340 million reduction in the fair value of the trust assets. See Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Welfare Benefits in the Critical Accounting Estimates section within Exelon’s 2004 Annual Report on 10-K and Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2005 to recast information contained in Exelon’s and Generation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the pension and other postretirement benefit trust assets.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
      During the second quarter of 2005, each registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated that registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures related to the recording, processing, summarizing and reporting of information in that registrant’s periodic reports that it files with the SEC. These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed by each registrant to ensure that (a) material information relating to that registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is accumulated and made known to that registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, by other employees of that registrant and its subsidiaries as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) this information is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls could be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people.
      Accordingly, as of June 30, 2005, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of each registrant concluded that such registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives. Each registrant continually strives to improve its disclosure controls and procedures to enhance the quality of its financial reporting and to maintain dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant.

Generation
      Cromby Generating Station. During the second quarter of 2005, Generation entered into a Consent Assessment of Civil Penalty with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection in the amount of $602,250 based on SO2 emissions in excess of the Clean Air Act Title V Permit limitations at the Cromby Generating Station during 2004. The excess was caused by a problem with the plant’s continuous emissions monitoring software, resulting from an unauthorized and inadvertent modification by a third-party contractor. When the problem was discovered in 2004, it was immediately corrected and did not significantly affect compliance with annual Title IV SO2 allowance surrender requirements. The procedures for the third-party contractor have been revised to prevent such occurrences in the future.

(a) Shares other than those purchased as a part of a publicly announced plan primarily represent restricted shares surrendered by employees to satisfy tax obligations arising upon the vesting of restricted shares.
 
(b) In April 2004, Exelon’s Board of Directors approved a discretionary share repurchase program that allows Exelon to repurchase shares of its common stock on a periodic basis in the open market. The share repurchase program is intended to mitigate, in part, the dilutive effect of shares issued under Exelon’s employee stock option plan and Exelon’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The aggregate shares of common stock repurchased pursuant to the program cannot exceed the economic benefit received after January 1, 2004 due to stock option exercises and share purchases pursuant to Exelon’s ESPP. The economic benefit consists of direct cash proceeds from purchases of stock and tax benefits associated with exercises of stock options. The share repurchase program has no specified limit and no specified termination date. No purchases were made pursuant to this program during the quarter covered by this Report.
Item 5. Other Information
   (a) Exelon
Amendment of Employment Agreement
      On July 22, 2005, Exelon Corporation approved an amendment to its existing employment agreement with John W. Rowe, its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. The purpose of the amendment was to reflect Mr. Rowe’s commitment to remain at Exelon through March 2010 in order to oversee the implementation of the pending merger of Exelon with Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated and the ensuing operational integration. In addition to reflecting that commitment, the amendment:
  •  modifies the severance provisions of the existing agreement to:
  •  extend from March 16, 2006 (the “normal retirement date” specified in the existing agreement) to March 16, 2010, the expiration of Mr. Rowe’s ability to terminate his employment and receive “special termination” benefits if Exelon fails to appoint him as Chairman of the Board (other than during E. James Ferland’s term as Chairman), President and CEO;
 
  •  limit any severance payment period with respect to a termination of Mr. Rowe’s employment occurring prior to March 16, 2010 to the shorter of the applicable period specified in the existing agreement or the period remaining until March 16, 2010;
 
  •  require Mr. Rowe to sign a waiver and release of claims in favor of Exelon as a condition to receiving severance benefits upon a termination of his employment; and
 
  •  grant Exelon the ability to terminate Mr. Rowe’s employment on or after March 16, 2010 without triggering severance benefits.
  •  modifies a limitation applicable to the supplemental executive retirement plan, or “SERP,” benefit available to Mr. Rowe under the existing agreement upon a termination of his employment. That limitation provides that the SERP benefit is forfeited in the event of a termination of employment for

138


Table of Contents

  cause. As amended, the forfeiture will be limited, in the event of a termination for cause after the March 16, 2006 “normal retirement date” specified in the existing agreement, to the portion of the benefit that accrues after March 16, 2006.
 
  •  provides that any future award of restricted stock would, to the extent an applicable restriction has not lapsed, be forfeited upon his retirement prior March 16, 2006 or termination of employment for cause, and become vested upon his retirement on or after March 16, 2006 (unless otherwise provided in the grant instrument) or other termination of employment other than for cause.
 
  •  clarifies that upon a retirement or other termination of Mr. Rowe’s employment other than a termination for cause, any previously earned but non-vested performance shares will become vested (consistent with the current terms of Exelon’s performance share program under its long-term incentive plan) and he will receive a target award for the year in which the termination occurs.
 
  •  requires Mr. Rowe, upon his retirement or other termination of employment other than a termination for cause, to provide up to ten hours per week of transition services for six months and thereafter, until the third anniversary of his termination, at Exelon’s request, to provide consulting services, attend a reasonable number of civic, charitable and corporate events, and serve on civic and charitable boards as Exelon’s representative as mutually agreed.
 
  •  requires Exelon to provide office space, a personal secretary and reasonably-requested tax, financial and estate planning services to Mr. Rowe for three years following his retirement or termination of employment other than a termination for cause (or one year following his death).
 
  •  provides that if any payment to Mr. Rowe would be subject to a penalty under new section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, then Exelon may postpone such payment for up to six months or Mr. Rowe may defer such payment if doing so would avoid the penalty, and otherwise Exelon and Mr. Rowe will negotiate in good faith to modify the amended agreement to comply with section 409A and provide approximately equivalent value.
The economic terms of Mr. Rowe’s existing agreement otherwise were unaffected by the amendment.
      Additional information regarding Mr. Rowe’s existing employment agreement, including the supplemental executive retirement plan benefit, can be found under the heading “Employment Agreements” in Item 11, Executive Compensation of Exelon’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Issuer has duly authorized the issue from time to time of its unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness to be issued in one or more series (the “Securities”) up to such principal amount or amounts as may from time to time be authorized in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

     WHEREAS, the Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide, among other things, for the authentication, delivery and administration of the Securities; and

     WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Indenture a valid indenture and agreement according to its terms have been done;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the purchases of the Securities by the holders thereof, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Issuer and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective holders from time to time of the Securities and of the coupons, if any, appertaining thereto as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

     SECTION 1.1. Certain Terms Defined. The following terms (except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise clearly requires) for all purposes of this Indenture and of any indenture supplemental hereto shall have the respective meanings specified in this Section. All other terms used in this Indenture that are defined in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), or the definitions of which in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), are referred to in the Trust Indenture Act, including terms defined therein by reference to the Securities Act (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires), shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Trust Indenture Act and in the Securities Act as in effect from time to time. All accounting terms used herein and not expressly defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the term “generally accepted accounting principles” means such accounting principles as are generally accepted at the time of any computation unless a different time shall be specified with respect to such series of Securities as provided for in Section 2.3.

     (a) the form or forms of the Securities have been duly authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

     (b) in the case of an underwritten offering, the terms of the Securities have been duly authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, and, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, certain terms of the Securities have been established pursuant to a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with this Indenture, and when such other terms as are to be established pursuant to procedures set forth in an Issuer Order shall have been established, all such terms will have been duly authorized by the Issuer and will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

     (c) such Securities when executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and delivered to and duly paid for by the purchasers thereof, and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will have been duly issued under this Indenture, will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, and will be valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) rights of acceleration, if any, and (iii) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability and such counsel need express no opinion with regard to the enforceability of Section 6.6.

     In rendering such opinions, any counsel may qualify any opinions as to enforceability by stating that such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such counsel may rely upon opinions of other counsel (copies of which shall be delivered to the Trustee) reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, in which case the opinion shall state that such counsel believes he and the Trustee are entitled so to rely. Such counsel may also state that, insofar as such opinion involves factual matters, he has relied, to the extent he deems proper, upon certificates of officers of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and certificates of public officials.

     The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section 2.4 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Issuer or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or board of trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors or trustees shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or would affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities, this Indenture or otherwise.

7


 

all of the Securities of such series issued and not yet canceled, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Registered Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depository, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or delivered or held pursuant to such Depository’s instructions and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, this Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to the nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.”

     SECTION 2.5. Execution Of Securities. The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Issuer by the chairman or vice chairman of its Board of Directors or its president, or any executive (senior or other), a vice president or its treasurer, under its corporate seal which may, but need not, be attested. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such officers. The seal of the Issuer may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

     In case any officer of the Issuer who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Security so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Security had not ceased to be such officer of the Issuer; and any Security may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security shall be the proper officers of the Issuer, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer.

     SECTION 2.6. Certificate Of Authentication. Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. The execution of such certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

     SECTION 2.7. Denomination And Date Of Securities; Payment Of Interest. Unless otherwise provided in Section 2.3, the Securities of each series shall be issuable as Registered Securities in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the officers of the Issuer executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee, as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof.

     Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Securities of each series shall bear interest, if any, from the date, and such interest shall be payable on the dates, established as contemplated by Section 2.3.

     The person in whose name any Registered Security of any series is registered at the close of business on any record date applicable to a particular series with respect to any interest payment date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Registered Security subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date for such series, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names Outstanding Registered Securities for such series are registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of Registered Securities not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date. The term “record date” as used with respect to any interest payment date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) for the Securities of any series shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Registered

8


 

Securities of such series established as contemplated by Section 2.3, or, if no such date is so established, if such interest payment date is the first day of a calendar month, the fifteenth day of the preceding calendar month or, if such interest payment date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month, the first day of such calendar month, whether or not such record date is a Business Day.

     SECTION 2.8. Registration, Transfer And Exchange.

Such register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee.

     Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Registered Securities of the same series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount.

     At the option of the Holder thereof, Registered Securities of any series (other than a Registered Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a Registered Security or Registered Securities of such series having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Registered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Issuer that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 3.2 and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Securities surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this Indenture shall be promptly cancelled and disposed of by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of disposition thereof to the Issuer.

     All Registered Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed, by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

     The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities. No service charge shall be made for any such transaction.

     The Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Securities of any series for a period of 15 days preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Securities of such series to be redeemed or (b) any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption, in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.8, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Registered Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

     If at any time the Depositary for any Registered Securities of a series represented by one or more Registered Global Securities notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Registered Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such Registered Securities shall no longer be eligible under Section 2.4, the Issuer shall appoint a successor Depositary eligible under Section 2.4 with respect to such Registered Securities. If a successor Depositary eligible under Section 2.4 for such Registered Securities is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility,

9


 

the Issuer’s election pursuant to Section 2.3 that such Registered Securities be represented by one or more Registered Global Securities shall no longer be effective and the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive registered form in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such Registered Securities in exchange for such Registered Global Security or Securities.

     The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Registered Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities shall no longer be represented by a Registered Global Security or Securities. In such event the Issuer, will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of any Officer’s Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive registered form in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such Registered Securities, in exchange for such Registered Global Security or Securities.

     If specified by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3 with respect to Securities represented by a Registered Global Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Security may surrender such Registered Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of the same series in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge:

               (i) to the Person specified by such Depositary a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations as requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Registered Global Security; and

               (ii) to such Depositary a new Registered Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (i) above.

     Upon the exchange of a Registered Global Security for Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations, such Registered Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee or an agent of the Issuer or the Trustee. Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Registered Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Issuer or the Trustee. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

     All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

     SECTION 2.9. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost And Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security shall be mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute and, upon the written request of any officer of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date, bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case, the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof, and in the case of mutilation or defacement shall surrender the Security to the Trustee or such agent.

10


 

     Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) or its agent connected therewith. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

     Every substitute Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

     SECTION 2.10. Cancellation Of Securities; Destruction Thereof. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if any, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee or its agent for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee or its agent shall dispose of canceled Securities held by it and, upon written request therefore, shall deliver a certificate of disposition to the Issuer. If the Issuer or its agent shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee or its agent for cancellation.

     SECTION 2.11. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any series, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities for such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable as Registered Securities without coupons of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Issuer with the concurrence of the Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. Temporary Securities may contain such references to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall execute and shall furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon temporary Registered Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for that purpose pursuant to Section 3.2 and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series having authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series, unless otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.3.

     (a) that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series or of the Trustee;

     (b) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable; and

     The Issuer will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

     If the Issuer shall act as its own paying agent with respect to the Securities of any series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

     Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to Section 9.1, the Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for any such series by the Issuer or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.

     Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Sections 9.3 and 9.4.

The Issuer will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent: (a) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Issuer or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary; and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary; PROVIDED, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

     SECTION 3.8. The Issuer May Not Merge. The Issuer may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets (either in one transaction or a series of transactions) to any Person unless:

          (a) the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger or to which such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease shall have been made (the “Successor”) if other than the Issuer, (a) is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and (b) shall expressly assume by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Issuer under the Securities and this Indenture;

13

          (c) the Issuer, delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture.

          The Successor will be the successor to the Issuer, and will be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power and become the obligor on the Securities with the same effect as if the Successor had been named, as the Issuer herein but, in the case of a sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer, the predecessor Issuer will not be released from its obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities.

ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

15


 

     SECTION 5.1. Event Of Default Defined, Acceleration Of Maturity; Waiver Of Default. “Event of Default” with respect to Securities of any series, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

          (a) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; provided that, a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of such Securities shall not constitute a failure to pay interest; or

          (b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal or premium (if any) on any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise; or

          (c) default in the payment of any sinking fund installment as and when the same shall become due and payable by the terms of the Securities of such series; or

          (d) failure on the part of the Issuer duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Issuer in the Securities of such series or contained in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than such series) for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice specifying such failure, stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder and demanding that the Issuer remedy the same, shall have been given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Issuer by the Trustee, or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the series to which such covenant or agreement relates; or

          (e) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer for any substantial part of its or their property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its or their affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

          (f) the Issuer shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its or their property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

          (g) any other Event of Default provided in the Board Resolution under which such series of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such series.

     If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, except for any series of Securities the principal of which shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each such affected series then Outstanding hereunder (each such series voting as a separate class) by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all Securities of such series, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable.

     Except as otherwise provided in the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.3, if an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (g) above with respect to all series of the Securities then Outstanding, occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, unless the Principal of all of the Securities shall have already

16


 

become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all of the Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class) by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of any series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all of the Securities then Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable.

     If an Event of Default described in clause (e) or (f) above occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

     If an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (g) occurs and is continuing, which Event of Default is with respect to less than all series of Securities then Outstanding, then, and in each and every such case, except for any series of Securities the principal of which shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each such affected series then Outstanding hereunder (each such series voting as a separate class) by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all Securities of such series, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable.

     The foregoing provisions are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

          (a) all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of such series (or all the Securities, as the case may be); and

               (i) the principal of any and all Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration; and

               (ii) interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series (or at the respective rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the Securities, as the case may be) to the date of such payment or deposit; and

               (iii) all amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.6; and

          (b) all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein,

then and in every such case the Holders of a majority, or any applicable supermajority, in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities of such series voting as a separate class (or all the Securities, as the case may be, voting as a single class), then Outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to such series (or with respect to all the Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

     For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original

17


 

Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities.

     SECTION 5.2. Collection Of Indebtedness By Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. The Issuer covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any series when such interest shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of all or any part of the principal of any of the Securities of any series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of such series or upon any redemption or by declaration or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all Securities of such series, for principal and interest, as the case may be (with interest to the date of such payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series); and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and such other amount due the Trustee under Section 6.6 in respect of Securities of such series.

     Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of any series to the registered Holders, whether or not the Securities of such series be overdue.

     In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated, all the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

     In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor, or in case of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

     (a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest (or, if the Securities of any series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of any series, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 6.6) and of the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor; and

     (b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the holder of the Securities of any series in any election of a receiver, assignee, trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, custodian or other person performing similar functions in respect of any such proceedings; and

     (c) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Securityholders and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other similar official

18


 

 performing similar functions in respect of any such proceedings is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee its costs and expenses of collection and all other amounts due to it pursuant to Section 6.6.

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding, except as aforesaid in clause (b).

     All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities of any series may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be awarded to the Trustee for ratable distribution to the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such action was taken, after payment of all sums due to the Trustee under Section 6.6 in respect of such Securities.

     In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities in respect to which such action was taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities parties to any such proceedings.

     SECTION 5.3. Application Of Proceeds. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of any series shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the several Securities in respect of which monies have been collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Securities of such series in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Securities of like series if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

     SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the payment of interest on the Securities of such series in default in the order of the maturity of the installments on such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee and is permitted by applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

     THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities of such series for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee and is permitted by applicable law) upon the overdue installations of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal and interest or Yield to Maturity, without preference or priority of principal over interest or Yield to Maturity, or of interest or Yield to Maturity over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest or of any Security of such series over any other Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest or Yield to Maturity; and

     FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any other person lawfully entitled thereto.

     SECTION 5.4. Suits For Enforcement. In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

     SECTION 5.5. Restoration Of Rights On Abandonment Of Proceedings. In case the Trustee or any Holder of any Security shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

     SECTION 5.6. Limitations On Suits By Securityholders. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or such Security, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder or thereunder, unless (a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding (treated as a single class) shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and (c) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding, and (d) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.9; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of any series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture or any Security to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such taker or Holder of Securities or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such taker or Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture or any Security, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of the applicable series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

     SECTION 5.7. Unconditional Right Of Securityholders To Institute Certain Suits. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any provision of any Security, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or the applicable redemption dates provided for in such Security, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

     SECTION 5.8. Powers And Remedies Cumulative; Delay Or Omission Not Waiver Of Default. Except as provided in Section 5.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every power and remedy given by this Indenture, any Security or law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or, subject to Section 5.6, by the Holders of Securities.

20


 

     SECTION 5.9. Control By Holders Of Securities. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected (with each such series voting as a separate class) at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by this Indenture; PROVIDED, that such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and PROVIDED FURTHER, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that (subject to the provisions of Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if (a) the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken; or (b) if the Trustee by its board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine in good faith that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability; or (c) if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Securities of all affected series not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders.

     Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by Securityholders.

     SECTION 5.10. Waiver Of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of acceleration of the maturity of the Securities of any series as provided in Section 5.1, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time Outstanding (voting as a single class) may on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities waive any past default or Event of Default described in Section 5.1 and its consequences, except (i) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest if any, on or any additional amounts payable in respect of any security of that Series or (ii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all such Securities shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for purposes of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     SECTION 5.11. Trustee To Give Notice Of Default, But May Withhold In Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Securities of any series, give notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, unless in each case such defaults shall have been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice (the term “default” for the purpose of this Section being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default); PROVIDED, that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment on such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of such series.

     The Trustee shall not be required to take notice, and shall not be deemed to have notice, of any default or Event of Default hereunder, except Events of Default described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Section 5.1 hereof, unless the Trustee shall be notified specifically of the default or Event of Default in a written instrument or document delivered to it by the Issuer or by the Holders of at least 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities (or the applicable series of Securities) than outstanding. In the absence of delivery of notice satisfying those requirements, the Trustee may assume conclusively that there is no default or Event of Default, except as noted above.

     SECTION 5.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force which

21


 

may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

     SECTION 5.13. Right Of Court To Require Filing Of Undertaking To Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his or her acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or group of Securityholders of any series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series, or, in the case of any suit relating to or arising under clause (d) or (g) of Section 5.1 (if the suit relates to Securities of more than one but less than all series), 10% in aggregate principal amount of Securities then Outstanding and affected thereby, or in the case of any suit relating to or arising under clause (d) or (g) (if the suit under clause (d) or (g) relates to all the Securities then Outstanding) or (e) or (f) of Section 5.1, 10% in aggregate principal amount of all Securities then Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security or any date fixed for redemption.

ARTICLE VI

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 6.1. Duties And Responsibilities Of The Trustee; During Default; Prior To Default. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a particular series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to such series, the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred and has not been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise with respect to such series of Securities such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

     No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

               (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred:

          (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

          (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

22


 

               (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

               (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders pursuant to Section 5.9 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

     None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not reasonably assured to it.

     The provisions of this Section 6.1 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act.

     SECTION 6.2. Certain Rights Of The Trustee. In furtherance of and subject to the Trust Indenture Act, and subject to Section 6.1:

               (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

               (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein or in the terms established in respect of any series); and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Issuer;

               (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any written advice or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

               (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby;

               (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

               (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or document unless (i) requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected then Outstanding (treated as one class) or (ii) otherwise provided in the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.3; PROVIDED, that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as

23


 

a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the Issuer or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor trustee, shall be repaid by the Issuer upon demand; and

               (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys not regularly in its employ and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

     SECTION 6.3. Trustee Not Responsible For Recitals, Disposition Of Securities Or Application Of Proceeds Thereof. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

     SECTION 6.4. Trustee And Agents May Hold Securities; Collections, Etc. The Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and may otherwise deal with the Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent.

     SECTION 6.5. Held By Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder.

     SECTION 6.6. Compensation And Indemnification Of Trustee And Its Prior Claim. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor trustee (and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees) for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability, fine, penalty or expense (including out-of-pocket and incidental expenses and legal fees) incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including, in each case, the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor trustee (and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees) and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim.

     SECTION 6.7. Right Of Trustee To Rely On Officer’s Certificate, Etc. Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or wilfull misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or wilfull misconduct on the

24


 

part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

     SECTION 6.8. Indentures Not Creating Potential Conflicting Interests For The Trustee. This Indenture is hereby specifically described for the purposes of Section 310(b)(1)(i) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to series of Securities that are of an equal priority.

     SECTION 6.9. Qualification Of Trustee; Conflicting Interests. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

     SECTION 6.10. Persons Eligible For Appointment As Trustee. The Trustee for each series of Securities hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal, state or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.11.

     The provisions of this Section 6.10 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

     SECTION 6.11. Resignation And Removal; Appointment Of Successor Trustee.

               (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Issuer and by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders of then Outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument in duplicate, executed by authority of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.12, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

               (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

               (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any series of Securities after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months; or

               (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 hereof and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder; or

               (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or

25


 

of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee for such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and so prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

               (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of such series and appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Issuer the evidence as of the action in that regard taken by the Securityholders as provided for in Section 7.1.

               (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and any appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.11 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 6.12.

     SECTION 6.12. Acceptance Of Appointment By Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.11 shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee for such series hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 9.4, pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6.

     If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the predecessor trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such trustees as co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts under separate indentures.

     No successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.12 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.10.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 6.12, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Holders of Registered Securities of each series affected by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 6.11. If the Issuer fails to give such notice within ten days after

     SECTION 6.15. Appointment Of Authenticating Agent. As long as any Securities of a series remain Outstanding, the Trustee may, by an instrument in writing, appoint with the approval of the Issuer an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities, including Securities issued upon exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption or pursuant to Section 2.9. Securities of each such series authenticated by such Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee.

The Authenticating Agent for the Securities of any series shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.

     Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.6 and 7.3 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

     SECTION 7.1. Evidence Of Action Taken By Securityholders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage in principal amount of the Securityholders of any or all series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such specified percentage of Securityholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture, and subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Article.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Registered Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee, or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, from giving effect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be given or taken by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial interest, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security.

     Without limiting the generality of this Section 7.1, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, a Holder, including a Depositary that is a Holder of a Registered Global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depositary that is a Holder of a Registered Global Security may give its proxy or proxies to the Depositary’s participants or the beneficial owners of interests in any such Registered Global Security, as the case may be, through such Depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices.

     The Trustee shall fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any permanent Registered Global Security held by a Depositary and who are entitled under the procedures of such Depositary to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date.

     SECTION 7.2. Proof Of Execution Of Instruments And Of Holding Of Securities. Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his or her agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security register or by a certificate of the registrar thereof.

28


 

     SECTION 7.3. Holders To Be Treated As Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register for such series as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     No holder of any beneficial interest in any Registered Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary (or its nominee) shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Registered Global Security or any Security represented thereby, and such Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the owner of such Registered Global Security or any Security represented thereby for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Registered Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

     SECTION 7.4. Securities Owned By Issuer Deemed Not Outstanding. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any or all series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by Securityholders under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such action only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons; and, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

     SECTION 7.5. Right Of Revocation Of Action Taken. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.1, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor or on registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities affected by such action.

               (a) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Issuer, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuer pursuant to any applicable covenants herein and pursuant to the terms of the Securities as set forth in Section 2.3;

               (b) to add to the covenants of the Issuer such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as the Issuer and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Securities and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; PROVIDED, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series to waive such an Event of Default; PROVIDED FURTHER, that any such addition, change or elimination (i) shall neither (A) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision and (ii) shall become effective only when there is no such Security Outstanding.

               (c) A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of Holders of Securities of such series, with respect to such covenant or provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

               (d) Upon the request of the Issuer, accompanied by a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Issuer Order) certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Issuer authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders of the Securities as aforesaid and other documents, if any, required by Section 7.1, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

     SECTION 8.5. Notation On Securities In Respect Of Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee for such series as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action taken by Securityholders.

          (d) The Issuer shall be released from its obligations under Sections 3.6 and 3.7 and unless otherwise provided for in the Board Resolution and/or Officer’s Certificate establishing such series of Securities, from all covenants and other obligations referred to in Section 2.3(14) or 2.3(15) with respect to such series of Securities, outstanding on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”).

               (vii) The Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to avoidance as a preferential transfer under Section 547(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (except with respect to any Holder that is an “insider” of the Issuer within the meaning of the United States Bankruptcy Code); and

               (viii) The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the covenant defeasance contemplated by this provision have been complied with.

Any moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any paying agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of any series and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such principal or interest shall have become due and payable, shall, upon the written request of the Issuer and unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Issuer by the Trustee for such series or such paying agent, and the Holder of the Securities of such series shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property laws, thereafter look only to the Issuer for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or any paying agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, that the Trustee or such paying agent, before being required to make any such repayment with respect to moneys deposited with it for any payment shall at the expense of the Issuer, mail by first-class mail to Holders of such Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security register, notice that such moneys remain and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

ARTICLE XI

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS

     SECTION 11.1. Applicability Of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3 for Securities of such series.

     SECTION 11.2. Notice Of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Registered Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the Issuer shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders of Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the registry books. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such Security of such series.

     The notice of redemption to each such Registered Holder shall specify the principal amount of each Security of such series held by such Registered Holder to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption to Registered Holders of Securities of the series shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

     The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

     On or before the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.4) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities of such series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee at least 70 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the election of the Issuer prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice of redemption to Holders pursuant to this Section, an Officer’s Certificate stating that such restriction has been complied with.

     If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deemed appropriate and fair, in its sole discretion, Securities of such series to be redeemed in whole or in part. Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or any multiple thereof. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of any series shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed.

     SECTION 11.3. Payment Of Securities Called For Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and

38


 

payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and, except as provided in Sections 6.5 and 9.4, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a place of payment specified in said notice, said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; PROVIDED, that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holder of such Registered Securities registered as such on the relevant record date, subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.3 and 2.7 hereof.

     If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security) borne by such Security.

     Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities of such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

     SECTION 11.4. Exclusion Of Certain Securities From Eligibility For Selection For Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, either (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer.

     SECTION 11.5. Mandatory And Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the “sinking fund payment date.”

     In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Issuer may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Issuer or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Issuer through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such series. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.

     On or before the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for any series, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate (which need not contain the statements required by Section 10.5) (a) specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of Securities of such series and the basis for such credit, (b) stating that none of the Securities of such series has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to such series have occurred (which have not been waived or cured) and are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Issuer intends to exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series and, if so, specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the Issuer intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of such series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Issuer to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have

39


 

not theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such Officer’s Certificate (or reasonably promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officer’s Certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee, the Issuer shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Issuer, on or before any such 60th day, to deliver such Officer’s Certificate and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Issuer (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Issuer will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section.

     If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 or a lesser sum in Dollars if the Issuer shall so request with respect to the Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 or less and the Issuer makes no such request then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 is available. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 11.2, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and shall (if requested in writing by the Issuer) inform the Issuer of the serial numbers of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for redemption under this Section if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, either (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically identified in such Officer’s Certificate as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer (or the Issuer, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 11.2 (and with the effect provided in Section 11.3) for the redemption of Securities of such series in part at the option of the Issuer. The amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys held on the stated maturity date of the Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied, together with other moneys, if necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Securities of such series at maturity.

     On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Issuer shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the payment of all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on the next following sinking fund payment date.

     The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or give any notice of redemption of Securities for such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default except that, where the giving of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Issuer a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default be deemed to have been collected under Article V and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 5.10 or the default cured on or before the 60th day preceding the sinking fund payment date in any year, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such Securities.

     (ii)       each of Executive’s Options that is not exercisable as of or upon the Termination Date shall continue to become exercisable during the Extended Exercise Period at such times and in such amounts as if Executive had remained employed by the Company following his Termination Date, and to the extent not exercisable (and exercised) at the end of the Extended Exercise Period, such Options shall expire;
     (iii)       any Restricted Stock granted to Executive that has not vested on the Termination Date shall be forfeited as of the Termination Date; and
     (iv)       any Performance Shares granted to Executive that have not vested on the Termination Date shall be forfeited as of the Termination Date; and

17


 

     (d) Executive’s SERP Benefit shall be treated as described in Section 6.2.
     7.5       Post-Retirement Health Care Coverage. In the event of any Termination of Employment on account of death, Disability or Retirement, any Termination for Good Reason or Termination Without Cause, Executive and his spouse shall each be entitled to Post-Retirement Health Care Coverage for the remainder of their respective lives. Such coverage shall not duplicate any benefits that may then be available to Executive and his spouse under Section 6.3 and shall be secondary to any coverage provided by any other employer or Medicare.
     7.6       Breach of Covenants; Exculpation. In the event of (a) a willful and material breach by Executive of any of the covenants contained in Article IX, or (b) a failure by Executive to cure (to the fullest extent curable) a non-willful breach of any of such covenants within 10 days after his receipt of a written notice thereof from the Company, the Company shall be entitled, after obtaining a final judicial determination (or, if the Company reasonably determines, based upon the advice of counsel, that it is more likely than not that each of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois will decline to adjudicate the issue, a final decree in an arbitration proceeding conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, with such arbitration proceeding to be conducted in Chicago, Illinois before a panel of three arbitrators) to the effect that such action by the Company is appropriate and consistent with the requirements and procedures set forth in this Agreement, to take any or all of the following actions:
     (i)       discontinue the SERP Benefit and any or all payments and benefits provided to Executive pursuant to Article VII and any other provision of this Agreement,
     (ii)       terminate any Options then held by Executive, whether or not then exercisable, and
     (iii)       require Executive to:
     (w) repay to the Company all amounts previously received by Executive pursuant to any provision of Article VII on or after the first date on which the Executive breached any of the covenants contained in Article IX (the “Breach Date”),
     (x) repay to the Company all amounts previously received by Executive pursuant to the SERP Benefit at any time on or after the Termination Date,
     (y) pay to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate “spread” on all Options exercised on or after the Breach Date, and
     (z) repay to the Company any other amount that it paid to Executive on or after the Breach Date which Executive would not have been entitled to receive if the Company had terminated the employment of Executive for Cause as of the Breach Date;

18


 

provided, however, that (I) no benefits shall be discontinued or terminated nor shall Executive have any monetary liability to the Company for any breach of the covenants contained in Article IX for any act or failure to act, including without limitation simple negligence or an error in judgment, if such act or failure to act was done in good faith, with a reasonable belief that the act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of the Company or was required by applicable law or administrative regulations, and was not done primarily to benefit Executive and (II) no action may be brought under this Section 7.6 more than three years after the Termination Date. For purposes of clause (iii) (y) of the preceding sentence, “spread” in respect of any Option shall mean the product of the number of shares as to which such Option has been exercised on or after the Breach Date multiplied by the difference between the closing price of the Common Stock on the exercise date (or if the Common Stock did not trade on the New York Stock Exchange on the exercise date, the most recent date on which the Common Stock did so trade) and the exercise price of the Option.
     7.7       Post-Termination Office and Secretarial Services, Consulting Services. Executive agrees to provide transition services and to provide advice and counsel to his successor (collectively, “Transition Services”) for a period of six months (“Transition Period”) following Executive’s Termination of Employment for any reason other than Cause, death or disability. The Transition Services shall be provided at the request of the Company at times and places mutually convenient to the Company and Executive. No more than 10 hours of Transition Services per week shall be requested of (or provided by) Executive.
     For the period following the conclusion of the Transition Period and ending on the third anniversary of the Termination Date (“Post-Transition Period”), Executive agrees to provide consulting services to the Company and to attend a reasonable number of civic, charitable and corporate events as a representative of the Company, at times and places mutually agreed by the Executive and the Company, and to serve on civic and charitable boards as mutually agreed by the Company and Executive in his capacity as former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company. During the Transition Period and the Post-Transition Period, the Company shall provide Executive an office and a personal secretary reasonably acceptable to Executive, with such office to be of a size and with furnishings and other appointments as are suitable for a retired former Chief Executive Officer of a major public company and to be located in a Class A office building in downtown Chicago or at such other location as is acceptable to Executive. The provision of such office and personal secretary shall be without charge to Executive, provided that Executive shall be responsible for taxes, if any, attributable to the provision of such office and personal secretary.
     7.8       The Company shall have no obligation to Executive under Section 7.3 or Section 8.3 unless Executive executes and returns to the Company within forty-five days after the Termination Date a waiver and release agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
     7.9       Other Employment; Other Plans. Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any provision of this Agreement. The amounts payable hereunder shall not be reduced by any payments received by Executive from any other employer; provided, however, that any continued welfare benefits provided for by Section 6.3 shall not duplicate any benefits that are provided to Executive and his family by such other employer and shall be secondary to any coverage provided by such other employer. The provisions of this Article VII or Article VIII

19


 

will not limit the entitlement of Executive to any other benefits available to Executive under any benefit plan or Practice that is maintained by the Company, Unicom Corporation or any Company Affiliate in which Executive participates.
     7.10       Other Post-Termination Benefits. For the period commencing with Executive’s Termination of Employment for any reason other than for Cause and ending on the first to occur of (i) the third anniversary of the Termination Date or (ii) twelve months following Executive’s death, the Company shall provide Executive tax, financial and estate planning services as reasonably requested by Executive.
ARTICLE VIII.

20


 

as applicable, but only to the extent that such increase is attributable to requirements imposed upon Executive by the Company.
     8.2       Successor(s). Before the consummation of any Change in Control, the Company shall obtain from each Person that becomes a successor of the Company by reason of the Change in Control the unconditional written agreement of such Person to assume this Agreement and to perform all of the obligations of the Company hereunder.
     8.3       Special Terminations.
     (a) In the event of a Special Termination, and subject to Section 7.8, the provisions of Section 7.3 shall be inapplicable and, in lieu thereof:
     (i)       Executive shall receive a lump sum equal to his Accrued Base Salary, Accrued Annual Incentive, and Formula Annual Incentive;
     (ii)       Executive shall receive a lump sum equal to the lesser of three (3.0) or the number of years (including fractions thereof) in the Severance Period, times the sum of (x) his Base Salary in effect under this Agreement or, where applicable, the Prior Agreement during the calendar year preceding the Termination Date and (y) his Formula Annual Incentive determined as of the Termination Date;
     (iii)       Executive and his family shall receive for the duration of the Severance Period, a continuation of the benefits described in Section 6.3 to which Executive and his family are entitled as of the Termination Date (or, if such benefits are not available, the economic equivalent thereof) and, upon the expiration of the Severance Period, Executive and his spouse shall be entitled to Post-Retirement Health Care Coverage in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5;
     (iv)       Company shall, at its expense, engage a professional outplacement organization which shall provide individual outplacement services to Executive for a period of up to twelve months;
     (v)       each of Executive’s Options that is exercisable as of or upon the Termination Date shall remain exercisable until the applicable Option Expiration Date;

     (vii)       all forfeiture conditions which as of the Termination Date are applicable to any deferred stock unit, restricted stock or restricted share units awarded to Executive by the Company pursuant to the LTIP, a successor plan, or otherwise at any time during the Contract Term or by Unicom Corporation pursuant to the Unicom Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan or otherwise at

21


 

any time during the contract term under the Prior Agreement, shall lapse immediately;
     (viii)       any Performance Shares granted to Executive that are not yet vested on the Termination Date shall become vested and no longer subject to restrictions as follows: (x) the Performance Share award (if any) granted to Executive for the year in which the Termination Date occurs shall immediately become vested as if the target award for such year were met, and (y) the remaining outstanding Performance Shares shall immediately become vested; and
     (ix)       If all or any portion of any of Executive’s awards (other than Performance Shares) under any other bonus or incentive arrangement under the LTIP or the Unicom Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan shall for any reason be unvested as of the Termination Date, the Company shall pay Executive a benefit equal to the increase in the benefit that Executive would have received if the unvested portion of such benefit had become fully vested as of the Termination Date.
     (b) Subject to the balance of this paragraph, amounts and benefits to be paid or provided under Section 8.3(a) shall be paid or provided (or, if applicable, commence to be provided) promptly after the Termination Date, except that, in the event of an Imminent Control Change Termination, the Formula Annual Incentive, and amounts and benefits to be paid or provided under Section 8.3(a) (ii) and (iii) shall be paid or provided (or, if applicable, commence to be provided) promptly after the Change Date. In the event of a Termination Without Cause or a Termination for Good Reason (in either event other than a Special Termination) for which the Termination Date occurs during the Imminent Control Change Period (whether or not the Imminent Control Change Period culminates in a Change Date) (“Pre-Change Termination”), then, prior to the Change Date, Executive’s Options, deferred stock units, restricted stock, restricted share units or performance share awards (“Equity Awards”) will not expire or be forfeited (unless any such Options would have expired had Executive remained an employee of the Company), will not continue to vest, and will continue to be exercisable only to the extent provided in the applicable grant agreement or plan. If the Imminent Control Change Period lapses without a Change Date, Executive’s Equity Awards and any unvested performance share awards will thereupon expire or be forfeited unless (i) and to the extent that any applicable grant agreement or plan provides otherwise, in which case such agreement or plan shall control, or (ii) such Options were vested on the Termination Date, in which case such Options may be exercised during the 30-day period following the lapse of the Imminent Control Change Period; provided that in no case shall any such Options remain exercisable after the date on which such Options would have expired had Executive remained in the employment of the Company.
     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Pre-Change Termination, (i) the definition of “Good Reason” in Section 8.1(b) shall apply, (ii) Company shall provide, during the Imminent Control Change Period, the benefits described in Section 6.3 to which Executive and his family are entitled as of the Termination Date (or, if such benefits are not available, the economic equivalent thereof), and if the Imminent Control Change Period lapses without a Change Date such coverage shall thereupon cease, subject to any applicable continued coverage rights; (iii) Company shall, at its expense, engage a professional outplacement organization which shall provide individual outplacement services to Executive for a period of up to twelve

22


 

months commencing on the Termination Date; and (iv) the Company’s obligations to Executive upon the Change Date under this Section 8.3 shall be reduced by any amounts or benefits paid, payable or provided pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise on account of Executive’s Termination of Employment.
     8.4       Enhanced Retirement Benefit in the Event of a Special Termination.
     (a) In the event of a Special Termination, the aggregate amount of Executive’s annual retirement benefit pursuant to Section 6.2(a) shall be computed on the basis of the assumptions set forth in such Section 6.2(b), together with the additional assumptions (to the extent applicable) that Executive had
     (x)       attained as of the Termination Date an age that exceeds the age determined pursuant to clause (i) of Section 6.2(b) by the lesser of three (3.0) years or the number of years (including fractions thereof) in the Severance Period,
     (y)       accrued a number of years of service that exceeds the number of years of service determined pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 6.2(b) by the lesser of three (3.0) years or the number of years (including fractions thereof) in the Severance Period, and
     (z)       received the lump-sum severance benefit specified in Section 8.3(b) in equal monthly installments during the Severance Period.
     (b) For purposes of applying the adjustments necessary to give effect to the form in which Executive will receive his SERP Benefit pursuant to Section 6.2, the term “Service Annuity System” shall refer to Service Annuity System as in effect on the last date preceding the Post-Change Period, if any, if the amount of the SERP Benefit (in the form in which Executive elects to receive it) would otherwise be reduced by application of the adjustments provided for under the Service Annuity System as in effect as of the Termination Date.
     8.5       Gross-Up for Certain Taxes.
     (a) If it is determined by the Company’s independent auditors that any monetary or other benefit received or deemed received by Executive from the Company or any Affiliate thereof pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, whether or not in connection with a Change in Control (such monetary or other benefits collectively, the “Potential Parachute Payments”), is or will become subject to any excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or any similar tax under any United States federal, state, local or other law (such excise tax and all such similar taxes collectively, “Excise Taxes”), then the Company shall, subject to Sections 8.10 and 8.11, within five business days after such determination, pay Executive an amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) equal to the product of:
     (i)        the amount of such Excise Taxes multiplied by
     (ii)       the Gross-Up Multiple (as defined in Section 8.8).
The Gross-Up Payment is intended to compensate Executive for all Excise Taxes payable by Executive with respect to Potential Parachute Payments and all Taxes or Excise Taxes payable

23


 

by Executive with respect to the Gross-Up Payment. The tax (and interest) imposed under Section 409A of the Code shall not be “any similar tax” for purposes of this Agreement.
     (b) The determination of the Company’s independent auditors described in Section 8.5(a), including the detailed calculations of the amounts of the Potential Parachute Payments, Excise Taxes and Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions relating thereto, shall be set forth in a written certificate of such auditors (the “Company Certificate”) delivered to Executive. Executive or the Company may at any time request the preparation and delivery to Executive of a Company Certificate. The Company shall cause the Company Certificate to be delivered to Executive as soon as reasonably possible after such request.
     8.6       Determination by Executive.
     (a) If (i) the Company shall fail to deliver a Company Certificate to Executive within 30 days after its receipt of his written request therefor, or (ii) at any time after Executive’s receipt of a Company Certificate, Executive disputes either (x) the amount of the Gross-Up Payment set forth therein or (y) the determination set forth therein to the effect that no Gross-Up Payment is due (whether by reason of Section 8.11 or otherwise), then Executive may elect to require the Company to pay a Gross-Up Payment in the amount determined by Executive as set forth in an Executive Counsel Opinion (as defined in Section 8.9). Any such demand by Executive shall be made by delivery to the Company of a written notice which specifies the Gross-Up Payment determined by Executive (together with the detailed calculations of the amounts of Potential Parachute Payments, Excise Taxes and Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions relating thereto) and an Executive Counsel Opinion regarding such Gross-Up Payment (such written notice and opinion collectively, the “Executive’s Determination”). Within 30 days after delivery of an Executive’s Determination to the Company, the Company shall either (i) pay Executive the Gross-Up Payment set forth in the Executive’s Determination (less the portion thereof, if any, previously paid to Executive by the Company) or (ii) deliver to Executive a Company Certificate and a Company Counsel Opinion (as defined in Section 8.9), and pay Executive the Gross-Up Payment specified in such Company Certificate. If for any reason the Company fails to comply with the preceding sentence, the Gross-Up Payment specified in the Executive’s Determination shall be controlling for all purposes.
     (b) If Executive does not request a Company Certificate, and the Company does not deliver a Company Certificate to Executive, then (i) the Company shall, for purposes of Section 8.11, be deemed to have determined that no Gross-Up Payment is due and (ii) Executive shall not pay any Excise Taxes in respect of Potential Parachute Payments except in accordance with Sections 8.10(a) or (d).
     8.7       Additional Gross-Up Amounts. If for any reason (whether pursuant to subsequently enacted provisions of the Code, final regulations or published rulings of the IRS, a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, a determination of the Company’s independent auditors set forth in a Company Certificate or, subject to the last two sentences of Section 8.6(a), an Executive’s Determination) it is later determined that the amount of Excise Taxes payable by Executive is greater than the amount determined by the Company or Executive pursuant to Section 8.5 or 8.6, as applicable, then the Company shall, subject to Sections 8.10 and 8.11, pay Executive an amount (which shall also be deemed a Gross-Up Payment) equal to the product of:

24


 

     (a) the sum of (1) such additional Excise Taxes and (2) any interest, penalties, expenses or other costs incurred by Executive as a result of having taken a position in accordance with a determination made pursuant to Section 8.5 or 8.6, as applicable, multiplied by
     (b) the Gross-Up Multiple.
     8.8       Gross-Up Multiple. The Gross-Up Multiple shall equal a fraction, the numerator of which is one (1.0), and the denominator of which is one (1.0) minus the lesser of (i) the sum, expressed as a decimal fraction, of the effective after-tax marginal rates of all Taxes and any Excise Taxes applicable to the Gross-Up Payment or (ii) 0.80, it being intended that the Gross-Up Multiple shall in no event exceed five (5.0). (If different rates of tax are applicable to various portions of a Gross-Up Payment, the weighted average of such rates shall be used.)
     8.9       Opinion of Counsel. “Executive Counsel Opinion” means an opinion of nationally-recognized executive compensation counsel to the effect (i) that the amount of the Gross-Up Payment determined by Executive pursuant to Section 8.6 is the amount that a court of competent jurisdiction, based on a final judgment not subject to further appeal, is most likely to decide to have been calculated in accordance with this Article and applicable law and (ii) if the Company has previously delivered a Company Certificate to Executive, that there is no reasonable basis or no substantial authority for the calculation of the Gross-Up Payment set forth in the Company Certificate. “Company Counsel Opinion” means an opinion of nationally-recognized executive compensation counsel to the effect that (i) the amount of the Gross-Up Payment set forth in the Company Certificate is the amount that a court of competent jurisdiction, based on a final judgment not subject to further appeal, is most likely to decide to have been calculated in accordance with this Article and applicable law and (ii) for purposes of Section 6662 of the Code, Executive has substantial authority to report on his federal income tax return the amount of Excise Taxes set forth in the Company Certificate.
     8.10       Amount Increased or Contested.
     (a) Executive shall notify the Company in writing (an “Executive’s Notice”) of any claim by the IRS or other taxing authority (an “IRS Claim”) that, if successful, would require the payment by Executive of Excise Taxes in respect of Potential Parachute Payments in an amount in excess of the amount of such Excise Taxes determined in accordance with Section 8.5 or 8.6, as applicable. Such Executive’s Notice shall include the nature and amount of such IRS Claim, the date on which such IRS Claim is due to be paid (the “IRS Claim Deadline”), and a copy of all notices and other documents or correspondence received by Executive in respect of such IRS Claim. Executive shall give his Executive’s Notice as soon as practicable, but no later than the earlier of (i) 10 business days after Executive first obtains actual knowledge of such IRS Claim or (ii) five business days before the IRS Claim Deadline; provided, however, that Executive’s failure to give such notice shall affect the Company’s obligations under this Article only to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure. If at least one business day before the IRS Claim Deadline the Company shall:
     (1)       deliver to Executive a Company Certificate to the effect that the IRS Claim has been reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors and, notwithstanding the IRS Claim, the amount of Excise Taxes, interest and penalties payable by Executive is either zero or an amount less than the amount specified in the IRS Claim,

25


 

     (2)       pay to Executive an amount (which shall also be deemed a Gross-Up Payment) equal to the positive difference between (x) the product of the amount of Excise Taxes, interest and penalties specified in the Company Certificate, if any, multiplied by the Gross-Up Multiple, and (y) the portion of such product, if any, previously paid to Executive by the Company, and
     (3)       direct Executive pursuant to Section 8.10(d) to contest the balance of the IRS Claim,
then Executive shall pay only the amount, if any, of Excise Taxes, interest and penalties specified in the Company Certificate. In no event shall Executive pay an IRS Claim earlier than 30 days after having given an Executive’s Notice to the Company (or, if sooner, the IRS Claim Deadline).
     (b) At any time after the payment by Executive of any amount of Excise Taxes or related interest or penalties in respect of Potential Parachute Payments (whether or not such amount was based upon a Company Certificate, an Executive’s Determination or an IRS Claim), the Company may in its discretion require Executive to pursue a claim for a refund (a “Refund Claim”) of all or any portion of such Excise Taxes, interest or penalties as the Company may specify by written notice to Executive.
     (c) If the Company notifies Executive in writing that the Company desires Executive to contest an IRS Claim or to pursue a Refund Claim, Executive shall:
     (i)       give the Company all information that it reasonably requests in writing from time to time relating to such IRS Claim or Refund Claim, as applicable,
     (ii)       take such action in connection with such IRS Claim or Refund Claim (as applicable) as the Company reasonably requests in writing from time to time, including accepting legal representation with respect thereto by an attorney selected by the Company, subject to the approval of Executive (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
     (iii)       cooperate with the Company in good faith to contest such IRS claim or pursue such Refund Claim, as applicable,
     (iv)       permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such IRS Claim or Refund Claim, as applicable, and
     (v)       contest such IRS Claim or prosecute such Refund Claim (as applicable) to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company may from time to time determine in its discretion.
The Company shall control all proceedings in connection with such IRS Claim or Refund Claim (as applicable) and in its discretion may cause Executive to pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the IRS or other taxing authority in respect of such IRS Claim or Refund Claim (as applicable);

26


 

provided that (i) any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Executive relating to the IRS Claim is limited solely to such IRS Claim, (ii) the Company’s control of the IRS Claim or Refund Claim (as applicable) shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable, and (iii) Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the IRS or other taxing authority.
     (d) The Company may at any time in its discretion direct Executive to (i) contest the IRS Claim in any lawful manner or (ii) pay the amount specified in an IRS Claim and pursue a Refund Claim; provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay an IRS Claim and pursue a Refund Claim, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify Executive, on an after-tax basis, for any Taxes, Excise Taxes, and any related interest or penalties imposed with respect to such advance.
     (e) The Company shall pay directly all legal, accounting and other costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred by the Company or Executive in connection with any IRS Claim or Refund Claim, as applicable, and shall indemnify Executive, on an after-tax basis, for any Taxes, Excise Taxes and related interest and penalties imposed on Executive as a result of such payment of costs and expenses.
     8.11       Limitation on Gross-Up Payments.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII, if the aggregate After-Tax Amount (as defined below) of the Potential Parachute Payments and Gross-Up Payment that, but for this Section 8.11, would be payable to Executive, does not exceed 110% of the After-Tax Floor Amount (as defined below), then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to Executive and the aggregate amount of Potential Parachute Payments payable to Executive shall be reduced (but not below the Floor Amount) to the largest amount which would both (i) not cause any Excise Taxes to be payable by Executive and (ii) not cause any Potential Parachute Payments to become nondeductible by the Company by reason of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision). For purposes of the preceding sentence, Executive shall be deemed to be subject to the highest effective after-tax marginal rate of Taxes.
(b) For purposes of this Section:
     (i)       “After-Tax Amount” means the portion of a specified amount that would remain after payment of all Taxes and Excise Taxes paid or payable by Executive in respect of such specified amount;
     (ii)       “Floor Amount” means the greatest pre-tax amount of Potential Parachute Payments that could be paid to Executive without causing him to become liable for any Excise Taxes in connection therewith; and
     (iii)       “After-Tax Floor Amount” means the After-Tax Amount of the Floor Amount.
     8.12       Refunds. If, after the receipt by Executive of any payment or advance of Excise Taxes by the Company pursuant to this Article, Executive receives any refund with respect to

27


 

such Excise Taxes, Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with any applicable requirements of Section 8.10) promptly pay the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after Taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 8.10, a determination is made that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such determination within 30 days after the Company receives written notice of such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. Any contest of a denial of refund shall be controlled by Section 8.10.
ARTICLE IX.
RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
     9.1       Confidential Information.
     (a) Executive acknowledges that it is the policy of the Company and its Affiliates to maintain as secret and confidential all Confidential Information, and that Confidential Information has been and will be developed at substantial cost and effort to the Company and its Affiliates. Executive acknowledges that he will have access to Confidential Information with respect to the Company and its Affiliates which information is a valuable and unique asset of the Company and its Affiliates and that disclosure of such Confidential Information would cause irreparable damage to the business and operations of the Company and its Affiliates.
     (b) Executive acknowledges that the Confidential Information is, as between the Company and its Affiliates and Executive, the exclusive property of the Company and its Affiliates.
     (c) Both during Executive’s employment by the Company (whether during or after the Contract Term) and at any time after the Termination Date, Executive:
     (i)       shall not, directly or indirectly, divulge, furnish or make accessible to any Person any Confidential Information (except (x) to the extent Executive reasonably and in good faith believes that such actions are related to, and required by, Executive’s performance of his duties under this Agreement, or (y) as may be compelled by applicable law or administrative regulation; provided that Executive, to the extent not prohibited from doing so by applicable law or administrative regulation, shall give the Company written notice of the information to be so disclosed pursuant to clause (y) of this sentence as far in advance of its disclosure as is practicable, shall cooperate with the Company in its efforts to protect the information from disclosure, and shall limit its disclosure of such information to the minimum disclosure required by law or administrative regulation unless the Company agrees in writing to a greater level of disclosure);
     (ii)       shall not use for his own benefit in any manner, any Confidential Information;
     (iii)       shall not cause any such Confidential Information to become publicly known; and

28


 

     (iv)       shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard such Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, loss and theft.
     (d) For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information represents trade secrets subject to protection under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, as adopted by the State of Illinois, or to any comparable protection afforded by applicable laws.
     9.2       Non-Competition.
     (a) During the period beginning on March 10, 1998 and ending two years after the Termination Date, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, engage or participate in, become employed by, serve as a director of, or render advisory or consulting or other services in connection with, any Competitive Business (as defined in Section 9.2(c)).
     (b) During the period beginning on March 10, 1998 and ending two years after the Termination Date, Executive shall not at any time make any financial investment, whether in the form of equity or debt, or own any interest, directly or indirectly, in any Competitive Business. Nothing in this subsection shall, however, restrict Executive from making an investment in any Competitive Business if such investment does not (i) represent more than 1% of market value of the outstanding capital stock or debt (as applicable) of such Competitive Business, (ii) give Executive any right or ability, directly or indirectly, to control or influence the policy decisions of any Competitive Business, and (iii) create a conflict of interest between Executive’s duties under this Agreement and his interest in such investment. In addition, nothing in this subsection shall restrict Executive’s ability to retain any interest (including any interest in common stock held on March 10, 1998 or subsequently acquired upon exercise of options or similar rights held on March 10, 1998 or upon the conversion of convertible securities held on March 10, 1998) in New England Electric System or any of its successors received by Executive as a result of his former employment relationship with such entity.
     (c) “Competitive Business” means as of any date (including during the two-year period commencing on the Termination Date) any Person (and any branch, office or operation thereof) which engages in, or proposes to engage in (i) the production, transmission, distribution, marketing or sale of electricity or (ii) any other business engaged in by the Company or its Affiliates prior to the Termination Date which represents for any calendar year during the Contract Term, or is projected by the Company (as reflected in a business plan adopted by the Company or any Affiliate thereof before the Termination Date) to yield during any year during the first three-fiscal year period commencing on or after the Termination Date, more than 5% of the gross revenue of the Company, and which is located (i) anywhere in the United States, or (ii) anywhere outside of the United States where the Company or any Affiliate thereof is then engaged in, or proposes to engage in, any of such activities.
     9.3       Non-Solicitation. During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending two years after the Termination Date, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly:
     (a) other than in connection with the performance of his duties as an officer of the Company, encourage any Key Employee to terminate his or her employment;

29


 

     (b) employ, engage as a consultant or adviser, or solicit the employment or engagement as a consultant or adviser of, any Key Employee (other than by the Company or its Affiliates), or cause any Person to do any of the foregoing;
     (c) establish a business with, or encourage others to establish a business with, any Key Employee; or
     (d) interfere with the relationship of the Company or any of its Affiliates with, or endeavor to entice away from, the Company or any of its Affiliates any Person who or which at any time during the period commencing one year prior to March 16, 1998 was a material customer or material supplier of, or maintained a material business relationship with, the Company or any of its Affiliates.
     9.4       Reasonableness of Restrictive Covenants.
     (a) Executive acknowledges that the covenants contained in Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 are reasonable in the scope of the activities restricted, the geographic area covered by the restrictions, and the duration of the restrictions, and that such covenants are reasonably necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate interests in its Confidential Information and in its relationships with employees, customers and suppliers. Executive further acknowledges such covenants are essential elements of this Agreement and that, but for such covenants, the Company would not have entered into this Agreement.
     (b) The Company and Executive have each consulted with their respective legal counsel and have been advised concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such covenants. Executive acknowledges that his observance of the covenants contained in Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 will not deprive him of the ability to earn a livelihood or to support his dependents.
     9.5       Right to Injunction; Survival of Undertakings.
     (a) In recognition of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information, and in recognition of the necessity of the limited restrictions imposed by Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3, the parties agree that it would be impossible to measure solely in money the damages which the Company would suffer if Executive were to breach any of his obligations under such Sections. Executive acknowledges that any breach of any provision of such Sections would irreparably injure the Company. Accordingly, Executive agrees that if he breaches any of the provisions of such Sections, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled under this Agreement or otherwise, to an injunction to be issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, to restrain any breach, or threatened breach, of such provisions, and Executive hereby waives any right to assert any claim or defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law for any such breach.
     (b) If a court determines that any of the covenants included in this Article IX is unenforceable in whole or in part because of such covenant’s duration or geographical or other scope, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, so as to cause such covenant to be thereafter enforceable.
     (c) All of the provisions of this Article IX shall survive any Termination of Employment without regard to (i) the reasons for such termination or (ii) the expiration of the Contract Term.

30


 

     9.6       Non-Disparagement. During the two-year period commencing on the Termination Date, Executive shall not (a) make any written or oral statement that brings the Company or any of its Affiliates or the employees, officers or agents of the Company or any of its Affiliates into disrepute, or tarnishes any of their images or reputations or (b) publish, comment upon or disseminate any statements suggesting or accusing the Company or any of its Affiliates or any agents, employees or officers of the Company or any of its Affiliates of any misconduct or unlawful behavior. This Section shall not be deemed to be breached by testimony of Executive given in any judicial or governmental proceeding which Executive reasonably believes to be truthful at the time given or by any other action of Executive which he reasonably believes is taken in accordance with the requirements of applicable law or administrative regulation.
ARTICLE X.
MISCELLANEOUS
     10.1       Required Withholding. The Company may deduct or withhold from payments or other benefits otherwise payable to Executive pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement any amounts that are required by applicable law.
     10.2       Remedies. In the event of any Termination of Employment or any breach of this Agreement by the Company, Executive’s exclusive remedies shall be as specified in Article VII (or Article VIII, if applicable) or to enforce any other undertaking of the Company expressly provided in this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall guarantee Executive continued employment for any specific period nor deny Executive the right to seek a final judicial determination (or, if Executive reasonably determines, based upon the advice of counsel, that it is more likely than not that each of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois will decline to adjudicate the issue, a final decree in an arbitration proceeding conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, with such arbitration proceeding to be conducted in Chicago, Illinois before a panel of three arbitrators) that any Termination of Employment purportedly made for Cause was, in fact, made not in good faith or was made without adherence to the requirements or procedures set forth in this Agreement. If Executive obtains such a final judicial or arbitral determination, as applicable, the Termination of Employment shall be treated as a Termination Without Cause for all purposes of this Agreement.
     10.3       Assignment; Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Executive and his Beneficiaries and estate and the Company (as the surviving entity in the Merger and as successor to Unicom Corporation at the Merger Date) and its successors.
     10.4       Beneficiary. If Executive dies prior to receiving all of the amounts payable hereunder pursuant to Article IV, VI (except as may otherwise expressly be provided in such Article or in the plans referenced therein), VII or VIII, such amounts shall be paid in a lump-sum payment to the beneficiary (“Beneficiary”) designated by Executive in writing to the Company during his lifetime, which Executive may change from time to time by new designation filed in like manner without the consent of any Beneficiary; or if no such Beneficiary is designated, to his estate.
     10.5       Nonalienation of Benefits. Benefits payable under this Agreement shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution or levy of any kind, either voluntary or

31


 

involuntary, prior to actually being received by Executive, and any such attempt to dispose of any right to benefits payable hereunder shall be void.
     10.6       Severability. If all or any part of this Agreement is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not serve to invalidate any portion of this Agreement not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any paragraph or part of a paragraph so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such paragraph or part of a paragraph to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.
     10.7       Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement shall not be amended or modified except by a written agreement between the Company and Executive. A waiver of any term, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement shall not result in a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition, and any waiver of any default shall not result in a waiver of any later default.
     10.8       Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing, delivered by hand, nationally-recognized courier service that guarantees overnight delivery or by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed as follows:

Either party may from time to time designate a new address in accordance with this Section. Notices shall be effective when received by the addressee.
     10.9       Publicity. Until this Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to a filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, neither Executive nor the Company shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement, nor disclose the contents hereof to any third party, without obtaining in each case the consent of the other parties hereto, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed where such release, announcement or disclosure shall be required by applicable law or administrative regulation.
     10.10       Communications. Nothing in this Agreement, including Sections 9.1, 9.6 or 10.9, shall be construed to prohibit Executive from communicating with, including testifying in any administrative proceeding before, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or the United States

32


 

Department of Labor, or from otherwise addressing issues related to nuclear safety with any party or taking any other action protected under Section 211 of the Energy Reorganization Act.
     10.11       Legal Expenses. The Company shall pay to Executive all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Executive in disputing in good faith any termination of his employment hereunder or in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right under this Agreement, provided that Executive shall have a reasonable basis for his position.

     10.13       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
     10.14       Effectiveness; Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding immediately upon its execution and shall become effective immediately without further action of the Company or Executive. This Agreement forms the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to its subject matter, and shall supersede all prior agreements, promises and representations of the parties regarding employment or severance, whether in writing or otherwise, including but not limited to the Prior Agreement.
     10.15       Applicable Law; Avoidance of Section 409A Penalty. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its choice of law principles, and the applicable provisions of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that the payment of any amount or benefit on the date specified in this Agreement for the payment of such amount or benefit (“Scheduled Payment Date”) would result in the imposition of any Section 409A Penalty, the following provisions shall apply:
     (a) If the Scheduled Payment Date is less than six (6) months after the Termination Date, payment of such amount or benefit shall be made (or commence if to be made in installments or annuity form) on the “Deferred Payment Date” which shall be six (6) months after Executive’s “separation from service” as defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code in IRS or Treasury rulings or regulations, if such payment can be made on the Deferred Payment Date without a Section 409A Penalty.
     (b) If payment of such amount or benefit on the Deferred Payment Date (or Scheduled Payment Date, if later) would result in the imposition of a Section 409A Penalty, then Executive may make a written deferral election with the Company which complies with Section 409A(a)(4)(C) of the Code (“Deferral Election”) specifying a payment date (“Elected Payment Date”) when payment can be made without a Section 409A Penalty. If Executive makes a valid Deferral Election, payment shall be made (or commence if to be made in installments or annuity form) on the Elected Payment Date.
     (c) In the event that (i) such amount or benefit cannot be provided to Executive on the Scheduled Payment Date or the Deferred Payment Date without a Section 409A Penalty and (ii) Executive does not timely make a Deferral Election, then the Company and Executive shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement (x) in a way that

33


 

would permit the payment of the amount or benefit to be made without a Section 409A Penalty or with a significantly reduced Section 409A Penalty, or (y) to provide an alternative amount or benefit of approximately equivalent after-tax economic value if such alternative amount or benefit can be provided without a Section 409A Penalty or with a significantly reduced Section 409A Penalty. If such negotiations do not result in agreement between the parties prior to the Deferred Payment Date (or Scheduled Payment Date, if later), such amount or benefit shall be paid (or commence if to be made in installments or annuity form) on the later of the Deferred Payment Date or the Scheduled Payment Date.
     (d) Executive and the Company agree to cooperate to amend the Agreement from time to time as appropriate to avoid the imposition of any Section 409A Penalty.
     (e) In no event shall the Company be required to provide a tax gross-up payment to Executive with respect to any Section 409A Penalty.
     10.16       Survival. All of Executive’s rights hereunder, including his rights to compensation and benefits prior to the Termination Date, his right to severance and other benefits subject to the terms and conditions of Article VII and VIII after the Termination Date, and his obligations under Article IX hereof, shall survive a Termination of Employment and the termination of this Agreement.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on the date first above written.
