ATLANTIC CITY ELECTRIC COMPANY, a corporation of the State of New Jersey (hereinafter called the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to ___________, or registered assigns, the principal sum of __________ Dollars on ____________________, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan,

The City of New York in lawful money of the United States of America, and to pay interest thereon at the rate of 4.00% per centum per year in like money, at said office or agency on April 15 and October 15 in each year, commencing April 15, 2019, until the Company’s obligation with respect to the payment of such principal shall have been discharged. Interest on this bond will accrue from the date of original issuance of Bonds of 2028 Series (as hereinafter defined) to the first interest payment date, and thereafter will accrue from the last interest payment date to which interest on the Bonds of 4.00% Series has been paid or duly provided for. In the event that any interest payment date is not a business day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a business day with the same force and effect as if made on the interest payment date (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). “Business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions or trust companies in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York are generally authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to remain closed. Interest on this bond payable prior to maturity shall be paid by check mailed to the address of the person or persons entitled thereto, as such address shall appear on the bond registration books maintained by the trustee or by wire transfer to an account designated by the person entitled thereto. So long as this bond is registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a nominee thereof, all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this bond shall be made in immediately available funds in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures.

Subject to certain exceptions provided in the Mortgage referred to on the reverse hereof, the interest payable on any interest payment date shall be paid to the person in whose name this bond is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day of the month preceding the month in which such interest payment date occurs; provided, however, that interest payable at maturity will be paid to the person to whom principal is paid.

This bond shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Mortgage, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of authentication certificate endorsed hereon.

Reference is made to the further provisions of this bond set forth on the reverse hereof and such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ATLANTIC CITY ELECTRIC COMPANY has caused this bond to be executed in its name by the signature or a facsimile thereof of its President or one of its Vice Presidents and its corporate seal, or a facsimile thereof, to be impressed or imprinted hereon and attested by the signature, or a facsimile thereof, of its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries.

This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company, issuable in series, and is one of a series known as its “First Mortgage Bonds, 4.00% Series due October 15, 2028” (hereinafter called “Bonds of 2028 Series”), all bonds of all series issued and to be issued under and equally secured (except insofar as any sinking fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by a Mortgage and Deed of Trust (herein, together with any indentures supplemental thereto, called the Mortgage),

dated January 15, 1937, executed by the Company to THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON (ultimate successor to the Irving Trust Company), as Trustee, to which Mortgage reference is made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the bonds in respect thereof, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are secured. With the consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as provided in the Mortgage, the rights and obligations of the Company and/or of the holders of the bonds and/or coupons and/or the terms and provisions of the Mortgage and/or of any instruments supplemental thereto may be modified or altered by affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of the bonds affected by such modification or alteration then outstanding under the Mortgage (excluding bonds disqualified from voting by reason of the Company’s interest therein as provided in the Mortgage); provided that no such modification or alteration shall permit the extension of the maturity of the principal of this bond or the reduction in the rate of interest hereon or any other modification in the terms of payment of such principal or interest without the consent of the holder hereof.

The principal hereof may be declared or may become due prior to the express date of the maturity hereof on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of a completed default as in the Mortgage provided.

The Bonds of 2028 Series are issuable only as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. This bond is transferable as prescribed in the Mortgage by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, and upon payment, if the Company shall require it, of the transfer charges prescribed in the Mortgage, and thereupon, a new fully registered bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor as provided in the Mortgage.

The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of principal or (subject to the provisions of the Mortgage) interest hereon and for all other purposes and the Company and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Bonds of 2028 Series shall be redeemable at the option of the Company at any time prior to the express date of the maturity hereof, in whole or in part. The Company shall give notice of its intent to redeem such Bonds at least 30 days but no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption (the “Redemption Date”).

If the Company redeems all or any part of the Bonds of 2028 Series pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph prior to July 15, 2028, it shall pay a redemption price equal to the greater of: (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of 2028 Series to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, or (2) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Bonds of 2028 Series to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date. At any time on or after April 15, 2028, the redemption price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of 2028 Series to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Bonds of 2028 Series or portions of the Bonds of 2028 Series called for redemption.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the bonds of this series that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the bonds of this series.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date:

•the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or

•if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and their respective successors and affiliates, in each case, unless such entity ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding that redemption date.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee before any Redemption Date for the Bonds of 2028 Series its calculation of the amount applicable to such redemption. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in acting upon, the Company’s calculation of any redemption price of the Bonds of 2028 Series.

In lieu of stating the amount applicable to such redemption, notices of redemption of the Bonds of 2028 Series for a Redemption Date prior to July 15, 2028 shall state substantially the following: “The amount applicable to the Bonds to be redeemed shall equal the sum of (a) the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Bonds, and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (not including the portion of any scheduled payment of interest which accrued prior to the Redemption Date) on the Bonds being redeemed, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the Bonds) plus 15 basis points, plus, in each case, and (b) accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount hereof to, but not including, the Redemption Date.”

If at the time notice of redemption is given the redemption moneys are not on deposit with the Trustee, then the redemption shall be subject to the receipt of such moneys on or before the Redemption Date, and such notice shall be of no effect unless such moneys are received.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this bond against any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber to the capital stock, shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, shareholders, officers and directors, as such, being released by the holder or owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage.

AND WHEREAS each of the bonds of the New Series (whether in temporary or definitive form) is to bear a certificate of the Trustee substantially in the following form, to wit:

This bond is one of the bonds, of the series herein designated, described in the within-mentioned Mortgage.

AND THIS INDENTURE FURTHER WITNESSETH:

That in further consideration of the premises and for the considerations aforesaid, the Company, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby covenants and agrees to and with the Trustee, and its successor or successors in such trust, as follows:

Section 1. (a)     The Company hereby creates a fifty-seventh series of bonds to be issued under and secured by the Original Indenture and this 2018 Supplemental Indenture, to be designated and to be distinguished from the bonds of all other series by the title “First Mortgage Bonds, 4.00% Series due October 15, 2028.”

(b)     The bonds of the New Series shall mature on October 15, 2028 and shall be issued in temporary or definitive form, only as fully registered bonds, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any multiple or multiples of $1,000 authorized by the Company; they shall bear interest at the rate of 4.00 per centum per year, payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15 each year, commencing April 15, 2019; and the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each said bond shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in lawful money of the United States of America. Interest shall be payable on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any interest payment date is not a business day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a business day with the same force and effect as if made on the interest payment date (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). “Business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions or trust companies in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York are generally authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to remain closed. Interest on the bonds of the New Series payable prior to maturity shall be paid by check mailed to the address of the person or persons entitled thereto, as such address shall appear on the bond registration books maintained by the Trustee or by wire transfer to an account designated by the person entitled thereto. So long as the bonds of the New Series are registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a nominee thereof, as discussed below, all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the bonds of the New Series shall be made in immediately available funds in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures.

Subject to the preceding paragraph, the person in whose name any bond of the New Series is registered at the close of business on any record date (as hereinbelow defined) with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such bond of the New Series upon any transfer or exchange thereof (including any exchange effected as an incident to a partial redemption thereof) subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except that, if and to the extent that the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, then the registered holders of bonds of the New Series on such record date shall have no further right to or claim in respect of such defaulted interest as such registered holders on such record date, and the persons entitled to receive payment of any defaulted interest thereafter payable or paid on any bonds of the New Series shall be the registered holders of such bonds of the New Series on the date of payment of such defaulted interest; and except that interest payable at maturity will be paid to the person to whom principal is paid. The term “record date” as used in this Section 1, and in the form of the bonds of the New Series, shall mean the fifteenth calendar day of the month preceding the month in which an interest payment date occurs.

(c)     Except as provided in this Section 1, every bond of the New Series shall be dated as provided in Section 10 of the Original Indenture. However, so long as there is no existing default in the payment of interest on the bonds of the New Series, all bonds of the New Series authenticated by the Trustee between the record date for any interest payment date and such interest payment date shall be dated as of the day following such interest payment date and shall bear interest from such interest payment date; provided, however that if and to the extent that the Company shall default in the interest due on such interest payment date, then any such bond of the New Series shall bear interest from the interest payment date next preceding the date of such bond to which interest has been paid, unless such interest payment date is April 15, 2019, in which case from the date of original issuance of the bonds of the New Series.

(d)     All of the bonds of the New Series shall be redeemable as set forth in the form of bond of the New Series set forth in this 2018 Supplemental Indenture.

(e)     Registered bonds of the New Series shall be transferable upon presentation and surrender thereof, for cancellation, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, by the registered holders thereof, in person or by duly authorized attorney, in the manner and upon payment of the charges prescribed in the Original Indenture. In the manner and upon payment of the charges prescribed in the Original Indenture, registered bonds of the New Series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of registered bonds without

coupons of the New Series of other authenticated denominations, upon presentation and surrender thereof, for cancellation, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

(f)    The bonds of the New Series initially shall be represented by one or more securities in registered, global form without interest coupons (a “Global Bond”). The Company initially appoints DTC to act as depositary with respect to the Global Bonds (together with any successor, the “Depositary”). The bonds of the New Series initially shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for DTC.

(g)    So long as the bonds of the New Series are held by the Depositary, such bonds of the New Series shall bear the following legend:

“This bond is a Global Bond within the meaning of the Mortgage hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a Depositary or a nominee thereof. This bond may not be transferred to, or registered or exchanged for bonds registered in the name of, any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof, and no such transfer may be registered, except in the limited circumstances described in the Mortgage. Every bond authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, this bond shall be a Global Bond that is subject to the foregoing, except in such limited circumstances.”

Any bonds of the New Series authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any Global Bond shall also be a Global Bond and shall bear the legend specified in this Section 1(g), except for any bonds of the New Series authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or upon registration of transfer of, a Global Bond pursuant to Section 1(h).

 

(h)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Global Bond shall not be exchangeable for bonds of the New Series registered in the name of, and no transfer of a Global Bond may be registered to, any person other than the Depositary or its nominee, unless (i) such Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the bonds of the New Series or (B) ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company within 90 days after it receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility does not appoint a successor Depositary, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a notice that the bonds of the New Series shall be so exchangeable and the transfer thereof so registerable, or (iii) there shall have occurred a completed default as in the Mortgage provided with respect to the bonds of the New Series evidenced by such Global Bond. Upon the occurrence in respect of the bonds of the New Series of any one or more of the conditions specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Bonds of the New Series shall be exchangeable for bonds registered in the names of, and the transfer of such bond shall be registered to, the beneficial owners of the bonds of the New Series, or their designees, as the Depositary shall direct. Bonds of the New Series issued to beneficial owners, or their designees shall be substantially in the form set forth in this 2018 Supplemental Indenture, but shall not include the provision related to the Global Bonds.

(i)    The Company and the Trustee may rely conclusively upon (a) a certificate of the Depositary as to the identity of a participant in the book-entry system; (b) a certificate of any participant as to the identity of any indirect participant and (c) a certificate of any participant or any indirect participant as to the identity of, and the respective principal amount of bonds of the New Series owned by, beneficial owners.

premises in any future application for the issue of bonds under the Original Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or otherwise.

Nothing in this 2018 Supplemental Indenture contained shall, or shall be construed to, confer upon any person other than the holders of bonds issued under the Original Indenture and this 2018 Supplemental Indenture, the Company and the Trustee, any right to avail themselves of any benefit of any provision of the Original Indenture or of this 2018 Supplemental Indenture.
