Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 16, 2008, Exelon Corporation (Exelon), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation), Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) and PECO Energy Company (PECO)(collectively, the Registrants) executed amendments to each of their respective revolving credit facilities (the Amendments), as described below. The Registrants have entered into these amendments in conjunction with the termination of Lehman Brothers Banks participation in their respective revolving credit facilities in September 2008.
The Amendments permit the applicable borrower, at its option, provided that certain conditions are satisfied, to terminate the commitment of a lender that, under its revolving credit facility, (a) has not made available its ratable portion of a requested borrowing or provided reimbursement for its pro rata share of funding under a letter of credit issued pursuant to the applicable revolving credit facility; (b) has notified the borrower or the administrative agent that it does not intend to comply with its obligations under the applicable credit facility; (c) has been downgraded to a non-investment grade rating from Moodys Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poors Ratings Services or another nationally-recognized rating agency or (d) is, or is a subsidiary of a person that is, the subject of a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding. The Amendments also allow the borrower to replace a defaulting lender or a lender that has been downgraded or that is, or is a subsidiary of a person that is, the subject of a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, and if the lender is not replaced, the aggregate commitment under the applicable revolving credit facility will be reduced.
The description of the Amendments set forth above is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the credit facilities, copies of which are attached as exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.
The disclosure set forth in Item 8.01 below is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.
Section 8 Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events
Following the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Exelon, Generation, ComEd, and PECO were each notified by Lehman Brothers Bank that it would not fund its commitments under their respective revolving credit facilities. Pursuant to the Amendments, the commitment of Lehman Brothers Bank under each borrowers revolving credit facility has been terminated by the borrowers effective September 30, 2008. Prior to termination, Lehman Brothers Banks total commitment within these credit facilities was $283 million, of which Exelon, Generation, ComEd, and PECO had $43 million, $166 million, $48 million, and $26 million, respectively.

RECITALS
A. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are party to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 3, 2007 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the Credit Agreement). Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them by the Credit Agreement.
B. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the undersigned Lenders wish to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth below.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual execution hereof and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Defaulting Lender means any Lender that (a) has not made available to the Administrative Agent such Lenders ratable portion of a requested Borrowing, has not made available to the Administrative Agent such Lenders Pro Rata Share of a Base Rate Advance to repay a Swingline Loan or its Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan, as the case may be, or has not reimbursed an LC Issuer for such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the amount of a payment made by such LC Issuer under a Facility LC, in each case within three Business Days after the date due therefor in accordance with Section 2.02(a), 2.02(b)(iii), 2.02(b)(iv) or 2.16.5, as applicable; (b) has notified the Borrower or the Administrative Agent that it does not intend to comply with its obligations under Section 2.02(a), 2.02(b)(iii), 2.02(b)(iv) or 2.16.5; or (c) is the subject of a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
Downgraded Lender means any Lender that (a) has a non-investment grade rating from Moodys, S&P or another nationally-recognized rating agency; or (b) is a Subsidiary of a Person that is the subject of a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
(b) Amendment to Section 2.01. The following language is inserted in lieu of the period at the end of the first sentence of Section 2.01:
; provided, further, that for purposes of the foregoing clause (iv), at any time there is a Defaulting Lender, the Aggregate Commitment Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the remainder of (A) such Defaulting Lenders Commitment Amount minus (B) the principal amount of such Defaulting Lenders outstanding Advances.
(c) Addition of Section 2.04(c). The following clause (c) is added to Section 2.04 in proper alphabetical order:
(c) At any time a Lender is a Designated Lender, the Borrower may terminate in full the Commitment of such Designated Lender by giving notice to such Designated Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) at the time of such termination, (x) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (or the Majority Lenders consent to such termination) and (y) no Advances are outstanding; (ii) concurrently with such termination, the Aggregate Commitment Amount shall be reduced by the Commitment Amount of such Designated Lender (it being understood that the Borrower may not terminate the Commitment of a Designated Lender if, after giving effect to such termination, the Outstanding Credit Extensions would exceed the Aggregate Commitment Amount); and (iii) concurrently with any subsequent payment of interest or fees to the Lenders with respect to any period before the termination of the Commitment of such Designated Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Designated Lender its ratable share (based upon its Pro Rata Share before giving effect to such termination) of such interest or fees, as applicable. The termination of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any right that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
(d) Addition of Section 2.10(b). Section 2.10 is amended by designating the existing text thereof as clause (a) and adding the following clause (b) in proper alphabetical order:

Except for the mandatory nature thereof, any prepayment of Advances pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(a); provided that such prepayment may be in any amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.

(e) Amendment to Section 8.07(g). Section 8.07(g) is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
(g) If any Lender (i) shall make demand for payment under Section 2.11(a), 2.11(b) or 2.14, (ii) shall deliver any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.12 resulting in the suspension of certain obligations of the Lenders with respect to Eurodollar Advances, (iii) does not consent to an amendment or waiver that requires the consent of all Lenders and has been approved by the Majority Lenders or (iv) is a Designated Lender, then (A) in the case of clause (i), within 60 days after such demand (if, but only if, the payment demanded under Section 2.11(a), 2.11(b) or 2.14 has been made by the Borrower), (B) in the case of clause (ii), within 60 days

If any such Eligible Assignee designated by the Borrower shall fail to consummate such assignment on terms acceptable to such Lender, or if the Borrower shall fail to designate any such Eligible Assignee for all of such Lenders Commitment, Advances and participation in Facility LCs, then such Lender may (but shall not be required to) assign such Commitment and Advances to any other Eligible Assignee in accordance with this Section 8.07 during such period. No replacement of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 8.07(g) shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants that:
